Phaedra just doesn't fit on M2M...her own vibe throws off the aura of the show. I say maybe it's time RHOA to be put on pause

Young and the Restless: Victor Newman...time for his character to be retired. His departure would open up new stories for Nikki, Jack, Nick, Vicki, etc. Days: Leo Rafe B&B: Brooke Ridge Liam I don't watch GH so can't say.

The network/Lorimar obviously didn't step in with Adam Rich. They were on Susan Richardson hardcore to lose the baby weight stat..and sadly she was so fearful of losing her job that she turned to drugs to lose the weight..and it basically hurt her in the long run. Of the kids, Elizabeth was given less to do...other then initial disapproval of her dad and Abby marrying. Abby always seemed judgmental to me, but there were times that she had warm scenes with her step kids. And sadly since she couldn't go back for the 1st reunion movie...they did a good job with replacing her with Mary Frann (same she wasn't included in the 2nd movie). Lastly, my favorite of the Bradford kids was Nancy. She was always searching for her place and identity in the world..and you always cheered for her.

@Cat Vyle Kyle was doing the most in order to compensate for Rinna not being there. Her talking heads and after show comments were filmed afterwards when it appeared as though Sutton would steal the season and her henchperson Try Hard Marie failed. Kyle is an insecure jealous person that secretly hates all women. She has been bully to Kathy and Kim her whole life and enjoys turning her female friends against one another. I was watching season 1 and there was a talking head from Kyle where she joked that if someone a set pissed her off then she would just quit acting and have a baby. That says all that needs to be said for Kyle....an overgrown toddler.

Try Hard Marie has no bedside manner. Given we were stuck with Teddi for a couple of years...Im bracing myself for her not to be a half season wonder. Dorit...is the product of a New England upbringing. I live in Boston now and going to cities outside Boston in Mass and CT resulted in seeing a lot of Dorits (female and male versions)...it was eye opening. RH of Miami: I've never liked Lisa. I was always a Joanna or Lea fan over Lisa. The only time Larsa has any sense is when she speaks in interviews about Lisa's divorce. Going by the doll island was just shitty of production...given her past.

Taster Choice/Nescafe in the late 80s/early had commercials that were very soapy. They were 3 minutes at most and always left you wanting more. I wouldn't mind if they did something like that again.

I think Mack would have been excited to be a father since he didn't have an opportunity to be a father to Paige while Karen would have been a bit in shock over being pregnant since she would have been ready to start the next chapter of her life post raising kids. And you would have had the reactions of her kids and his kid over this late in life pregnancy.

Don't insult.season 4 RHONY by comparing it to the current season of Potomac lol Maybe production needs to stop with these stupid group gatherings and change how they cast these women. Other then Karen, none of the other women are interesting in their individual scenes.

No Alex..No Camille..No Gretchen

Paper Dolls: Racine - Morgan Fairchild. Her character was the bridge between the wealthy Harpers and the models. Berrengers: This was difficult because there were too many characters, but the unexpected scene stealer was Gloria Berrenger (played by Andrea Marcovicci. Capitol: Myrna Clegg Sloane Denning

It's a shame that we most likely won't see Alex McCord on RHUGT all because of Brandi. With that said, Bravo/Peacock were stupid enough to bring her back again and to supply her with alcohol.. so they deserve to get sued.

With the amount of scripts written on an ongoing basis, it makes sense for writers to not remember everything. Kim Zimmer said in one interview that fans would tell her their favorite scenes and she's like 'Thank you..but I don't remember doing that scene'. So I never dog on someone that worked in the soaps for not remembering every story or scene written or acted.

Ingmar Bergman movies were huge in the 1960s and 1970s...which focused so much on the psychological make up of characters. After Scenes from the marriage became popular, soaps and primetime moved more toward atmosphere and more about what wasn't said vs what was said. By the very end of the 70s, this element gave away to action/adventure.

If you watched the first few years of the show, Brooke is very layered as a character. She's a straight A student studying chemistry, she gets a well paying job as a chemist, and she loves her family very much. Even though she dreams of financial security, she's also genuine in her love for Ridge and also in her friendship with Caroline.

RHOBH Rinna leaving RHOBH was a great first step in repairing/restoring the show back it its former luster. Now Dorit, Kyle, and Ericka need to start preparing for their exits. I kind of wonder if Kyle subjected Flopmarie/Try Hard Marie onto the public as a way to ensure her job is safe and/or a passive aggressive way to ensure Invisible Teddi is invited back as a main housewife. RHOSLC: I have a theory as to why Monica went bye bye vs Heather. It's because Monica is outing the behind the scenes going ons and she isn't 'sorry' for what she's done. Some years back, Bravo had a special on season 8 of RHOC and the producers said the main reason Gretchen was let go was because she refused to take accountability for anything. I also think Heather and Lisa might have had Jen Shah as an investor in their companies. It could explain why both were so quick to cover for her back in season 1/2. RHOMIAMI: Kiki is funny, but she's too thirsty. If women are going to clutch their pearls over other women being objectified.. then they need to reign in their tendencies to objectify men. Julia provided the bone about the Larsa article and Kiki happily carried that bone over to Geurdy. I question Geurdy going on the trip because one needs to eliminate stress/toxicity while deal with cancer.. and the girls trip is always a hotbed of toxicity. RHOC: Meanwhile.. Gina manages to stay employed even though she has brought nothing to the show in 5+ years.

RHOBH: Try Hard Marie goes up to bat and strikes out as usual. Since Sutton wasn't up to feuding with her, I guess Crystal is next on the list. Why call someone a child bride when they got married at 24? I know people are delaying marriage, but 24 is well into adulthood. RHOM: Larsa is taking up space on the show.

Erica Kane: High points: founded and ran Enchantment, having female friends (Opal, Janet) Low point: kidnapping Maria and Edmund's baby

Guiding light: Jordan Clarke played a character named Dr tim Ryan for a few years in the 70s. He was the first guy both Rita and Eve Stapleton were involved with pre Ed Bauer and Ben. He came back in 1983 playing Billy Lewis..and played him on and off till 2009.

Andy gave her first chair at the reunion, let her railroad over everyone, and let her dominate/bully every conversation that didn't involve her. Those are usually signs that Andy likes someone (case in point, Brandi Glanville). @Taoboi I know your love for Lisa is growing dimmer and dimmer.. but I will say that Lisa always seems to perform well at reunions. She isn't #1 when performing at reunions, but she's always consistent. She was the only one that was on Heather's ass during the season 3 reunion over the black eye and how damaging her non-answer was toward production. She also helped with the Bad weather term for Heather/Whitney, and her hot mic moment was the big attraction for the season 2 reunion. I do agree with everyone that some further cast modifications are needed. Heather can also leave because she withheld information about who caused the black eye and I think that should result in a nice long 'pause'. If there is a season 5, we definitely need someone that is intelligent, logical, and can call out BS without also being guilty of that same BS. Lastly... I want a bit more focus on individual scenes.. and less 1:1 scenes or group events.

Of course Andy Cohen loves Monica...two birds of a feather. I wish the witch was gone, but sadly Bravo and ethics/morals don't go together

I think the scriptwriters should have been replaced instead. The scab episodes were better paced and written.

It's an intriguing lineup.. but I'm not into drama on vacations. Season 1 and 4 were great because they looked like they had fun and had a little drama mixed in. Season 2 and 3 were just too drama heavy and not enough fun. If you're going to have Mariah, who provides fun shade.. then we don't need Try Hard Marie there. I also think you could add Cary D from Dallas.. whose a nurse and has said she was open to doing a RHUGT season.

Peoples homes reflect someone's tastes and personality. The Horton house, Roman/Marlena's house, Dimera mansion and Marlena's penthouse had distinctive furnishings that showed a part of the dwellers personality. With that said, why is Rafe still on the show?

Honestly... I find both Kyle and Mauricio to be vile. I still remember in season 1 how Kyle would joke about how much money she spent, how she would manipulate him, etc... and I thought to myself 'He should really divorce you, but he'll take the cowards way out and cheat'. Quite frankly, I don't blame him for cheating and being stoned all the time... she's a lot to take and I imagine whoever dates Kyle next would probably be checked out as well

RHOP: I am seeing some on social media actually start to miss Diana and Rinna...and wish they were there instead of Try Hard Marie. Only upside is people still dislike Teddi more....a low bar, but still proves Try Hard hasnt reached the depths of unlikability. It's funny Kyle always accused LVP of being Bobby Fischer when she's being that way now. It's too bad LVP didnt teach her how to have likable moments to balance it out RHOM: Why do people keep going for Dr Nicole? Sounds like Try Hard Marie should have watched Miami so she would have seen that it would have been a waste of time doing so. We got some good backstory on Kiki...perhaps a test for a promotion to full time next season?
