It's a shame that Kristen and Felicia weren't on the show at the same time back in the 90s. Just a little overlap..and no exploration into what their relationship as sisters were like. Both had strained relationships with Stephanie..but for different reasons (Kristen because she was close to Eric and Felicia because she was similar to Stephanie). It was an Avenue that Bell never got to explore sadly.

Alan needs to sit back and let the actors talk..only stepping in if silent. Alex might have moved on from the Mindy and roger affair had Mindy not switched the DNA results. Had the show written it that Alex felt like she was reliving the past trauma of having her child taken from her..it would have been better. The story worked, just not how it was written.

Do the women on NY housewives know that antibodies in blood means it was a past infection and offers some degree of protection..and that Andy Cohen has recovered from covid-19? I hope it's a rumor because the other women sound ignorant if true. I'm curious if Shannon's positive test result has halted production..or if the show is filming the others (maybe doing zoom calls to check in and have filmed).

I saw those episodes from 1980 when the Williams family came in..and she played a devoted wife and mother...and she was more well rounded. She was an atypical Bell character and I wonder if that's why she had become the busybody caricature by the mid 80s because Bell didn't know quite how to write her.

I do recall in the ATWT Marland generated that he had no idea what to do with Jay....was there anywhere to take the character or had he run his course?

The thing is that OC and Dallas could have modified their filming (i.e. less in person gatherings, more individual vignettes, and maybe a few Zoom happy hours). I did hear possible new housewife on OC and Gina got into it via wearing a mask..so I'm hoping it was filmed.

He was too busy working out his daddy issues with the Buzz character is my theory

They tried with Leslie with her pairing with Robert Laurence, plus his crazy wife..and it didn't work. Peggy was a reporter and went undercover during the cult story..so she could have worked with Paul in his detective agency

I heard Shannon didn't go to a recent cast trip on OC.. guess this might be why? https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/shannon-storms-beador-daughters-test-positive-for-coronavirus?cid=soc_fb_RHOC_Dish&fbclid=IwAR3IRNNSrQT8cw9zWhHY8Hmxi6h-bqV7-KwsrMDcPKirPKeMC80U-mLTQTE

ART said there were 3 waves from 1995 to 1997 of firings...Yvonne was in spring 1996 while ART lasted till Feb 1997 when Behr came in.

With the success of the Marah reunion...I'm hoping the Mindy reunion will happen with the 4 Mindy's...or even a Michelle Bauer reunion would be nice as well.

CZ said at the time ATWT was ending that she couldn't ever see herself playing another soap character cause she had been Barbara for 32 years.

I found pics of Alan when he was younger and he was fairly good looking. Maybe Quarantine has aged him a bit.

Wow..a reunion without Martha...a miracle.

BH needs to go. It peaked in season 1...

But she didn't fit on the show..and her character was kind of a bust on the long run.

I recall when they lured back Robert as Josh..there was excitement..and people wondering if the show would do a Harley/Mallet/Josh triangle. But when the actors playing Harley and Mallet opted to leave..the show had to think fast and I believe Tangie was created to give Josh something to do. You could tell Tangie felt shoehorned in. Ironically, by 1995..Tangie finally felt like she fit working at the journal, being friends with Blake...and had a father/daughter like connection to Roger. Too little, too late

I was watching season 1 of BH..and while they had the Kyle/Camille beef last the whole.season...it didn't leave me exhausted because of the following: - saw more day to day with all the women..even going to events on their own without making it a gathering. -no rehashing of fights in follow up scenes -not everyone went to every event -other events happened (i.e Kim's issues, taylor's marriage, Adrienne 's odd food preparation skills, Camille/Kelsey's marriage ending, and LVP adventures in LA with Cedric). I don't know when that changed for BH

Maybe Crampton should have played Tangie instead?

There was an interview with MG after she quit GL citing the lack of growth and strength in Holly was the reason she left. She had hoped to see some more agency in the character post Roger falling off the cliff..but was made more passive. If you saw late 1979 episodes, Holly was more assertive so I can see she thought it would have continued into 1980.

Search for tomorrow: looks like the seeds of Jennifer/john/Eunice were starting at this point. Peggy o'shea is often under rated. She did good work on Capitol & OLTL in the 80s. Guiding Light: I have a feeling had Lynne Adam's opted not to leave GL...that the Dobson's would have continued with writing Leslie. I'm sending a hint of a Mike/Leslie/Ann triangle in the Feb 1976 synopsis. I like the show is slowly working Rita into the mix with being a friendly ear to Ed, being ambitious at work, while making eyes at Dr Tim Ryan..making Pam jealous. I'm seeing a redemption of Holly is continuing (the original actress playing her was unhappy with the change I recall)..while it appeared at this point that Holly/ed and roger/peggy were the end game couples...and having Christina in the mix would have caused years of complications. Love of Life: a head writer change is evident..it isn't as interesting to read as 1975 was with Labine/Avila & Depriest in charge. The Doctors: I watched the reruns on Retro..candella's stint was boring...Depriest's stint was more interesting, if a little too plot driven.

I wish I could resee Tricia realizing what Matt Clark did and driving off the road..and her confession in the hospital after the fact.

Love of life...I was kinda bummed that Felicia's stalker was real..cause there seemed to be hints that it might be in her mind..and considering all the backstory..it would have made sense.

I'd love to have heard what other roles Sonia had screen tested for...she said she had 8 screen tests..and not all of them were on GL. I didn't know Catherine Hickland auditioned for Julie on Capital when it started and lost the role. Also, that she did a blind audition later for Capital and was shocked after she was cast that it was as Julie.

Denise and Garcelle are the only BH housewives that does. I'm sure Sutton did as well before her ex got involved. One thing I'll give Tamra, shannon, vicki, and Kelly on the OC...they showed almost everything
