Chris B

She appeared in one scene two weeks ago, missed three episodes this season and tonight 30 seconds?! I’m shocked they aren’t editing in more solo scenes to justify her salary. And I will say I’m disappointed. I feel last season was better. I need more Nene period! I also need more Marlo. This has been her season and I wish she was full time so I could see more of her nephews and hair business.

I feel NBC would've been the absolute worst place for it. They seemed very trigger happy and didn't give shows enough time. I feel Return to Peyton Place should've remained and they never should've done How to Survive a Marriage. EON was perfect for the ABC lineup, but they allowed that and RH to be killed with affiliates and timeslots. In this case I feel Loving did ABC more harm than it did good. That show wasn't needed and from all I've read wasn't great. That show definitely killed RH.

Marc is revolting. When he said if he was asked for a prenup he’d end the relationship it just felt wrong. Typically a man with money would want a prenup. It seems like Kenya is the one with money so I find that suspect. I understand not being comfortable in front of the cameras but he is an [!@#$%^&*]. Not in a cute way and no I don’t find her at fault AT ALL. Kenya is far from perfect, but in this case this man seems like a nightmare. You can’t convince me he won’t try to take her for everything she’s worth.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned here, but starting in January The Doctors is going to be available on a streaming site. It looks like everything that aired on RetroTV will be there so 1968 through the end of the series. Also, they recently got the rights to the black and white episodes and said those will be exclusive to the streaming service. I'm excited because it's been hard keeping up with the show previously and I will take nay soap on streaming. Also curious for the 60s episodes. I wonder just how far back the black and white episodes go.

Enjoy that final season! It was such a wild, gothic and fun ride. One of the very best primetime soap seasons. I thought David Paulsen did such a good job of making Blake, Alexis and Fallon interesting again and knowing what he was dealing with budget wise he somehow made it work. When he was hired he was told absolutely no location shooting, which is what led to Linda Evans leaving and Joan Collins episode count being reduced. Even with those things it still worked so well. Krystle got an exit story fitting a queen and with Sable around I honestly never noticed when Alexis wasn't around. Whenever they *did* use her it was very well done. They also proved Emma Samms wasn't the problem but the writing was.

On the subject of RHOC potentially getting a reboot, I think they need to just go ahead and let Tamra and Vicki go and try to move forward. No returning housewives either. Hell, Shannon has been there long enough I'd consider dumping her too. If they want the show to last they need a new narrative. I'd keep Kelly, Shannon and Braunwyn (only bc Andy already said she isn't leaving) and add four brand new wives. Each season fans complain when they keep the majority of the cast and add one or two people so just go for broke and reboot it and see if that can give them a few more years.

I find it hard to believe Chris Goutman would bring back Beverlee McKinsey. If ATWT is any indication, he wasn't interested in the past. I remember even with Julianne Moore, it was more HER wanting to return and she asked to have a larger part. He turned down Noelle Beck's offer to leave as Lily so fans could see Martha Byrne once again. He did bring back some more recent past cast members, but that wasn't really his thing there at least.

Oh lord! That makes perfect sense.

Wow! I hate I didn't watch! I'm going to look for clips. Apparently the two have beef but lord knows what from LOL!

This news about The Doctors is exciting! I have always wanted the soaps on streaming and have said I'd pay if I could get it. Considering PGP already had soaps on AOL and Hulu, it amazes me they haven't done anything with their stuff. If they had a Soap Classics channel on Amazon, I'm sure people would pay $5 or whatever a month for access. I'll definitely be getting this and look forward to seeing the older episodes. I'm also hoping they eventually add all the episodes that have aired on RetroTV so I can finish where I left off.

If I were them, I'd keep Stephanie, Kameron, Brandi and D'Andra and add three new wives. Honestly, I'd even be open to four new wives and Brandi as a friend if casting goes well. Dallas needs to come back with the excitement that Miami came back with in season 2. I want it to feel refreshed and new. I'm hoping they can turn things around.

IIRC, Ming-Na is a series regular on season two of the Mandalorian so that could be why she's under-utilized because her story kicks in next season. I could be wrong though, I haven't started watching this yet so I'm not sure what they did with her character.

Between Andy's obvious disappointment and the fact that someone at the reunion is bringing up Leanne saying "f*ggot" several times during filming, I think she's done. If they find the footage of her saying that and add it she's toast. It's just too much to overcome. Plus the ratings for this show are so low it's lucky not to be canceled. I'm fully expecting a full reboot next season and if that doesn't work Dallas is done. They seem to be heavily casting and from what I've seen on Twitter there are four people they're currently doing test filming with. You don't do that if you're just looking for one housewife. Hell, even if Leanne hadn't done this they still needed a reboot so her job was never safe. I do wonder if Kary will be spared due to this drama surrounding her.

Everybody knows RHOD has been casting for a couple months now. A radio host who once interviewed Trump, filmed a test confessional today. She’s also friends with D’Andra and a Claudia Jordan (who has stated she’s open to appearing). Hmmm.

The new hw does seem kinda eh. You can tell they were casting filler because they expected Bethenny to return and dominate the narrative. I highly doubt this is the cast we would’ve had if Bethenny gave them notice. Hell, they probably wouldn’t have even given Leah and Apple had Bethenny stayed. @Gray Bunny NYC went to Cancun.

@Cat Very good point! This could be damage control or misleading if true. We still don’t have a believable reason for Denise’s distance. It’s possible she has a legit reason or that the others are leaving something important out. We won’t know until it premieres though because Denise doesn’t talk to the press. Now with RHONY and Tinsley quitting and not going on the cast trip, what would y’all do? Keep her full time? I’d make her a Friend as punishment and try to edit her down and focus more on the other girls. They should’ve just made Jill a full time cast member. Clearly the two newbies testing didn’t work out because they aren’t on the cast trip and neither is Jill. They had some bad luck with Bethenny and Tinsley quitting with no notice. I’m going to go easy on them next season.

Yes I guess it does make sense that it’s her, but I don’t believe the media story that she’s so busy filming B&B that she’s missing events. B&B to my knowledge only films 4 days a week. I highly doubt that is what is holding her back which suggests it’s something worse.

RHOBH news: Looks like Brandi is filming more than we thought and according to that one housewife is fighting so bad with the cast she stopped filming and Brandi doesn’t see her returning. The hypocrisy of ANY of them to do this after the hell they have LVP for doing the same thing last year. Very curious who it could be though.

This looks great! Wonder Woman had a long road to the big screen, but both films seem to have a look and feel all their own. In a sea of superhero films it's very refreshing! I hope this is as good as it looks and I'm sure it will be. Wonder Woman has been so good that I can't even watch anything else DC.

What!!! She left and wasn't fired and is currently promoting her OWN show, but they feel she's the reason they have bad press?! They just don't get it. This is truly insane.

How does Nunes not remember someone he talked to MULTIPLE times, including an 8 minute call? He gotta come up with a better story than that.

It's on purpose. Republicans know that the easier it is to vote the smaller their chances are. Some major states don't even have early voting. Not to mention the rigged machines. I think it was here where I saw a recent article about voting machines showing a Democrat received ZERO votes so they did a recount of paper ballots and the Democrats actually won that race. As for Senator Harris, the more I think about it and how sudden this is, I can't help but wonder if she cut a deal with Joe Biden for VP. Pete doing well in Iowa/NH will hurt Warren and Bernie who are already gonna split votes. Then as they go to more diverse states Biden will do well. If Kamala stayed in and took a good chunk of the black vote from Biden we could end up at the convention with a free for all. By her dropping out now, he doesn't have to worry about anybody splitting the black vote for him and he could pull out a win. That's just a theory, but I could see it happening. Her exit days after saying she exceeded her fundraising goal by 12% is just odd. She had too much momentum. There had to be another way *unless* a deal was cut. Another way Biden could've sweetened the deal is by telling her he'd only do one term.

Honestly that is shocking to me considering she already qualified for the next debate and may have seen yet another bump from that. Still, I respect that she got out early and didn't string anybody along. To me this is devastating. This is the second black woman to run to my knowledge and the media didn't treat her campaign with the historic respect it deserved. They beat her down at every turn for ANYTHING. First "flip flopping" on healthcare when in reality she hasn't formulated a plan previously. Now Elizabeth Warren has copied her plan but nobody says she's flip flopping. Biden and Sanders are both having money issues and laying off people and closing offices, but it's only front page news for Kamala. She had to be ten times as good as anybody to get decent coverage. It's racist and a shame. And she was still doing well, but probably realized she couldn't compete with unrealistic expectations of a black woman running for president. Now I will just be showing up in November. I have no desire to actively support anybody running. Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden are the best shot and Trump will easily eat both of them up with the media's help. I'm sickened by the media now saying how devastated they are that Kamala dropped out when they made this so.

Kamala has been having a turnaround lately from social media buzz based on her new ad, to speeches and debate performance. Now I notice the media is starting to pay attention to the campaign against her. Over thanksgiving weekend I think there were like three hit pieces against her saying she needs to drop out. Michael Bloomberg also hired a staffer from her campaign at $400,000 and she contributed to the NY Times hit piece against Kamala. I find it so odd both billionaires (Steyer stealing her data) have targeted her considering she's in 5th place. Why is everybody attacking someone who they claim has done such a horrible job and has no chance of winning? I strongly believe their intel on the ground shows that she's doing much better than polling suggests. Also, if Mayor Pete does win Iowa and NH, then it'll hurt Bernie and Warren's chances of winning and boost Biden/Harris prospects. If she keeps doing well and Biden collapses then Harris gets those votes which is why they need her to drop out as soon as possible.

I wanted Lauren with Jack which I think would be amazing, but reuniting her with Paul could work if she were written with more bite like before. Also, when did HE become a saint?! Having recently watched the available episodes from 88-92, he was sexy and tough not the saint he is now. I also feel Christine is a wasted heroine stuck in her worst pairing. I'd love to see Christine with Nick or anybody more youthful. After all of her suffering she deserves a child as well. It's just weird she was so vital and is now just stuck with Paul for no reason.
