Honestly I’m starting to worry. I guess it’s possible something dramatic is happening we don’t know of, but I think they’ll stay united to spite LVP.

RHOBH News: Nothing major, but some news has leaked out. No rumors of any potential drama between anybody so far. Teddi revealed today that she doesn't know if she's a HW, which is pretty good confirmation she'll just be a friend. It was unlikely they'd have 8 HWs so this is probably true. Also, Eileen revealed that the movie premiere for 7 Days To Vegas (her new movie) will be filmed for the show and the girls are coming. Kyle has been in North Carolina filming the Halloween sequels so I'm curious how long that'll take her away. We have no way of knowing if her role will be for both sequels or if it's big or small so there is no telling.

It's confusing because like you said they didn't HAVE to include him, they choose to, so why not contact him? And the crazy thing is that he was available! He is a recast on Mixed-Ish. This has obviously been in development for a while so they could've easily contacted him and he'd be available to do it. Then with Lark Voorhees and Dustin Diamond, I find it hard to believe they'll appear due to personal problems. Just seems like it would've been better to just go with a new cast so people wouldn't want the old cast back.

This is so odd. I could see how they could do an unrelated spin off ala The New Class, but this seems to include some of the originals and I wonder how that will go. Tiffani and Mark Paul are both working. I'm sure their schedule could open up, but still weird choice for a continuation.

I agree with @Cheap21 and @Antoyne about OG. The way she's been treated is AMAZING! Did yall hear that at the reunion OG showed up, business as usual, and was told she could only film from her dressing room via satellite? Apparently she's too violent and dangerous to sit on the couch with the other women. Cece got up and left when she found this out. My question is: This is a show where Tami and Evelyn have fought people many times, thrown things, etc. Evelyn this season has already attacked Jennifer AND she is going to try to attack Cece next week. How the FCUK is OG the dangerous one? This is beginning to feel discriminatory on another level. Is it because she's dark skinned? Her african features? It's more than just simple dislike. Shaunie has completely lost me as a fan. If you aren't on her team you have no chance on this show. Cece has been posting behind the scenes tidbits on her twitter and instagram. They're going as far as to editing out Byron's family members when they go to events with her so Kristen's narrative of the entire family hating her, is the only one that stands. Then when Tami had her party and they showed Cece up and leave, Cece said she actually stayed and partied with Tami and Jackie until the party ended! She's done with the show because of the biased editing and I can't say I blame her. I look forward to her digging into Evelyn's ass last week. I enjoyed her years ago, but she serves no useful purpose anymore. I feel like OG, Cece and Kristen were the more interesting newbies they've had in years, but the biased editing has ruined it. Since OG and Cece aren't up Shaunie and Evelyn's ass they get treated like dirt. I fully expect both to be out next season and along with Tami I'm not seeing a purpose in watching next season. I don't wanna see Shaunie and Evelyn ganging up on a bunch of new girls yet again.

I agree and thats why I get so mad when people list seasons 5 or 6 as the best. IMO, the best season the show had was season 4 (including the best reunion). I also loved last season which I know is unpopular. I feel like Kenya is too on for the cameras. I have liked her various seasons, but you don't get her real life often. I feel like she worked best in her final season, but overall she tries to hard. I like it best when the women are themselves and the drama is more organic. I feel the next season is going to be better received than last year because it'll be full of drama, but I don't look forward to the story she CREATES for herself.

Oh it's him for sure! She mentions the behavior in the post announcing the divorce: https://tamaratattles.com/2019/09/19/exclusive-details-kenya-moore-and-marc-daly-to-divorce/ That lines up with the blind item: https://tamaratattles.com/2019/09/17/blind-item-pretty-dick/ The weird thing to me is that just on Monday they appeared together on the Tamron Hall show, then he recently had an event that *he* threw for RHOA. This story is weird as hell just like anything with Kenya.

Tamara Tattles says that he is so unlikable that there is literally no way they can give him an even decent edit. She said that the producers don't even like Kenya and they feel bad for her. I know there are rumors he's down low and has a gay lover, but they say that about everyone so I'm not sure how true that is.

Eileen has never liked LVP and was always consistent about that so I can respect that. I don’t think she let it dominate her time on the show the way the ladies did last year. She’d address it with LVP but otherwise had her own stuff going on. I’d love her to return but I don’t think she ever would. She was offered a friend spot when Teddi joined and she turned it down since it wasn’t full time. After that I don’t think it would be easy to get her back. Potomac’s reunion was breezy as usual. This show is so effortless to watch! I loved towards the beginning when Karen was asked something relating to Ashley and calmly demolished her before telling Andy to move on lol. It was that moment that I knew I was in for a treat! Still sad it looks like Katie is done because I’d love to see her filming her movie during the next season. RHOC I’m completely behind on, but I look forward to catching up. Andy said the next string of episodes is epic and from the clip of Kelly knocking Shannon over the head it looks like that is gonna be true. These ladies always deliver even if it isn’t the ideal cast.

Watching that episode I felt like I got more out of the non-Lorie/Leslie Brooks than others. This is the first episode I got a sense of who Chris and Peggy are and I actually liked both. I wish we could get like a solid week of Y&R from the 70s so we could get a feel of it. It seems like such a different animal than it became. In fact, each decade has a distinct feel to it. Also love whenever we get to see the Brooks home which looks just like the Forrester mansion.

I never liked Charisse. I found her the main weak link in season one. Had Katie not had issues with her husband I feel they would've kept her. She was good that season and gave a lot at the reunion.

They need to let Tami out of whatever kinda contract they have her in. It's clear she's been forced to remain probably using options on her contract. She just got announced for a series regular gig on a Hulu show AND a recurring role on Octavia Spencer's new Apple TV show. It's insane how well her acting career is going! Im happy because she's been grinding in smaller roles for years. Here's a link to the announcement: https://deadline.com/2019/09/ms-pat-comedy-pilot-cast-tami-roman-series-regular-1202729511/

I'm still chugging along in March 1992 and it's getting frustrating to see how progressive the stories are compared to what they air today. Everything is so tepid now that I feel it could be aired on one of those christian networks. It's crazy that we have a soap and there isn't one Sheila-esque character. Back then you have Sheila, Jill, Katherine, at times Nikki and Lauren all as varying degrees of vixen. All are rootable and complex and being a vixen doesn't mean you're evil, but it's allowed. With the men they don't have to be warm and fuzzy honorable people. Ryan is a horny dick sleeping with Nina because Victoria (WHO IS SIXTEEN!) doesn't want to have sex with him. Brad is married to Traci but spending all his time with Ashley and about to have an affair with Lauren. Hell even John is dating three women at one time and that's fine! I feel like this is realistic and also gives you a chance to see characters interact before settling on a couple. Right now you wouldn't dare have a character like Lauren who is written more like a male character in terms of her sexual appetite and habit of sleeping around. I just finished the episode where Nina and Ryan slept together and that surprised me. I first met Nina when (to quote Jill) she had "let herself go" and was depressed because Ryan was cheating on her with Tricia. For one, the character is so different in these episodes in general, but I didn't expect them to meet and sleep together so soon! I believe Ryan and Victoria get married first so I figured we'd have time before Nina and Ryan met. Now I'm curious to see how this entire story is gonna go because I absolutely wasn't expecting this. Also, I never liked the thought of Blade because of his horrible name, but bringing him on through Drucilla was genius. She's so likable that I like him by extension of him helping her. She is such an aspirational character and it warms my heart seeing how he believes in her talent and truly wants to make her successful. Another point I've reached is the horrible second Nathan recast. I liked the first and third Nathan's but this guy comes off too angry and has no chemistry with anybody. I can't wait until he's gone.

I have watched all 4 episodes now, commercial free on Hulu so I can focus and this is terrible. I'm gonna keep watching since there's only two episodes to go, but such a wasted opportunity. I love Shannon's persona on the show but she'd hardly appeared for 4 episodes now! She's one of the most popular cast members so that's baffling. I also hate that when they discuss a reboot they act like the show ended with them in high school. They've so confused as to what the characters would be doing as if we didnt see them as adults living their lives.

That's definitely interesting! I had no idea about them having any involvement in Halloween 4. I think it was definitely a missed opportunity to never feature them. Lindsay could've easily been Rachel. Speaking of Rachel, her death in part 5 was a nightmare. It's not like they had another final girl so I'm not sure why they didn't keep her. The biggest missed opportunity for me with Halloween is not doing the original Halloween 2 with Laurie living in that sky rise. It would've been such a unique location for a slasher flick. I always wished we had gotten to see that.

I hope the Erika rumor is true. I like her overall, but her past two years were tiresome. She never had anything going on. Personally I feel Kathryn and Eileen deserved to stay more than she did. They had interesting lives and actually did stuff.

Carlton's dislike of Kyle just cracked me up. Kyle had been so tiresome in the previous seasons that it was hard to feel bad for her. I loved that even the slightest thing would get Carlton up in arms. I literally could not stop laughing watching their feud! Also with Schaena, it's hard for me to be upset with LVP over that because she was clearly a main cast member on Vanderpump Rules and they needed to crossover to boost that show. I feel that was 100% production and Lisa had to go along with it.

I'm really excited for these and I'm happy Kyle Richards is back as Lindsay! I know some are upset that they're bringing these characters back, but it makes sense in the context that only the original Halloween and the 2018 sequel exist. Haddonfield is a small town. In the original Halloween not many people actually died and murders happen everywhere and it doesn't cause everybody to leave town. Considering the big gap in the murders it's logical that those kids would've remained in the city and married and raised kids there as well. While Michael didn't necessarily return for Laurie bc of the sister angle, she did put a target on her entire family's back by pursuing him in the last movie, so I could see him showing interest in Lindsay and Tommy as unfinished business since they were at the scenes of his original murders. I'm very curious what story they'll go with! I also love that they're treating it like an event film after the success of the last one. I love that they're filming two sequels back to back. I feel that will help with quality control. Especially with Halloween, you always have a good sequel followed by a really bad one (4 to 5 or H20 to Resurrection) because the entire creative team is replaced and nobody is on the same page. I hope these two movies are plotted out in a way that makes sense for a trilogy. Now the biggest worry is that I don't want spoilers!! This is so unique since you have such high volume of people that die in slasher films so I don't want actors, etc. slipping up and revealing that they appear in both or only one film.

Kyle just got announced for Halloween Kills, the sequel to Halloween! Considering how successful the one last year was, it’s a pretty big deal they kept her. They recast the role of her male co-star with Anthony Michael Hall. They’re filming two sequels back to back to form a trilogy but I doubt they’ll say who is appearing in the final film because that would be spoilers. I’m happy she’ll have something to talk about other than Kim or LVP! A true success of her own. Thank god lol. Article: https://halloweenmovies.com/little-lindsey-wallace-wont-know-what-hit-her/

Not interested in the other girl, but FINALLY a black housewife! I've always loved Garcelle as an actress. She has a class and glamour that I hope translates to her real life. Also interesting that she is still a working actress with legit roles not D list like Rinna or Richards who people try to act like are a big deal. I find it so telling that Bravo announced this before filming began. That's how the overseas HWs shows do, but Bravo usually waits til the last minute to confirm anything. I think this is to combat the negative press of LVP leaving and Teddi returning.

I just rewatched that and I agree. Her downfall was totally bizarre. Had she not turned on LVP she'd still be on the show right now. It reminded me of Jill Zarin and Bethenny because the downfall of their friendship was so contrived. LVP and Ken were ride or die with Brandi! I will never be able to understand that. It's weird. Katie posted that the footage of Michael with the butt grabbing was doctored and after that she didn't get invited to the reunion, *but* she was right and Andy even apologized for the footage on WWHL and explained that the voice heard WASN'T the cameraman. Monique backed Katie's claims up, but obviously she was an official housewife so she didn't get punished.

I knew Chris stayed longer than Lorie, but I had no idea that Leslie was the last Brooks daughter to leave! I do think it’s a shame they recast Chris and tried to put her at Jabot but it didn’t work out. Would’ve been nice if they could’ve kept that Brooks bloodline going.

I'm gonna pause my 1991 watch to view those 1986 episodes! Thanks again!!! Right now I'm in November 1991 and I'm convinced this HAS to be one of the Top Five years in Y&R history. Such a transformative year and so much has been done to integrate these new characters into the canvas without sacrificing the existing characters. One key thing that stuns me is just how unbelievably good Victoria Rowell is. She doesn't get the credit she deserves for just what she did here. Bill Bell and Victoria Rowell are a FORCE together. You can tell he is loving writing for her! Something as simple as her getting a $50 raise on her paycheck was such a great character building moment and something that could never work the way writers write soaps today. She can literally do ANYTHING. Now after a chance meeting, she's become friends with Cricket and is interested in becoming a model. Having her interact and develop a REAL friendship with Cricket and Danny is just expanding her character even more. It's amazing seeing how well integrated the black characters are! She brings 110% to any scene given and no matter how slow an episode may be, if you see her you know it'll be worth watching. Another heavy hitter is Nikki's alcoholism which has developed nicely over the year. She has left the ranch maybe twice this year, but it serves a purpose. I also love how they randomly have her in two or three outfits in one day even though she never leaves her home. There are so many subtle, but bizarre things that she's doing and MTS is knocking it out of the park finding different ways to hide her problem from her various family members and Miguel. It's getting to a critical point where Jack is reaching his breaking point and it's a real breakthrough for Peter Bergman as Jack. Also in the Newman household you have 16 year old Victoria losing her virginity after Ryan pressured her into sex. I love that they're actually developing the emotional impact of this and how she truly wasn't ready. And they're even allowing her and Ashley to confront Ryan about his actions. It's a simple story on paper, but the execution is doing so much to continue developing the character of Victoria. In general, most of Bill Bell's plots are very simple, it's the execution that makes them so engrossing. I *so* miss this type of writing! Lastly, I finally understand why people love Sheila so much. I've reached the point where Lauren's son Dylan has died and seeing Sheila's coldness and glee is chilling. She's so subtle, but powerful. The way she's treating her mom and even Scott is getting to the point where I can't see him remaining married to her much longer. When they do break up I know her crazy ass bout to lose it and I cannot wait! This is the most interesting story that Lauren has had since I started watching.

I'd love a link to S4 as well! I never got to see that!

My goodness lol. I must be getting them confused with New Jersey which is coming back for season ten! It's hard to keep up with them these days lol. Also unrelated, but I think it's criminal that Melbourne is clearly canceled when they didn't have a bad season ever. Bravo should've kept airing it as well. Auckland is another missed opportunity, but Melbourne stings since it was as good, if not better than any US version.
