Shame the show didn't think to get Real Eve back.

Maybe this might make him less of a toxic person toward women?

I was wondering about the Julie/Melissa situation.. because the two were friends during the show.. and that quickly fell apart all due to money. Melissa is whiny and annoying... but Julie seems to be wearing 2 faces. The fact that Julie never reached out in 20 years after being confronted says all I need to know.

As usually Drew's is the weakest. She's to Atlanta what Teddi was to BH.

Rhoc: Bravo did a wonderful thing by bringing back Heather. It made viewers remember how evil she was and how much we liked Shannon Storms Beador. After the way Gina and Emily acted at the reunion, they deserve to be treated badly by their men. I'll always be team Shane anytime he shades Emily. NJ: cast reshuffle needed...4 seasons with the same cast is so boring

It seemed like once Meg left that Van's step daughter took over the role of conflict for Van. Meg's long awaited return in the 1970s seemed successful and also ushered in another child and ex husband during her time away. I do wonder if rumors of Meg being written out had the show continued were true..who would have taken over as the yin to Van's Yan?

Knots should have ended in 1989. If you looked at ratings, they were still healthy up till then. Season 10 seemed like a wrap up...and I think season 11 was shaky because the writers had to figure out new obstacles, or start new stories. Dallas lost it's luster by 1987 and maybe had they opted to end the show in 1988..they could have convinced VP to stay on an extra season.

Potomac: Ashley has 2 kids, probably has proof he's been a bad boy..so now she is set for life $$$

Linda Evan's had a character she could sink her teeth into. A flawed character that had both positive and negative traits. The story I was most liking was the 2 designers finding their way back to one another. Mini series used to have fun b and c stories that interested me more than the A story.

Except that wouldn't have fit KL...that would have fit on Dynasty or Falcon Crest. I actually think the Jill story in season 10 would have been stronger if we didn't know whether Jill tried to kill Val or not. Would have made the audience speculate because Val had issues with her mental health..and Jill didn't seem the type to want someone died because she felt threatened.

I think the Waleska story would have worked if it had happened in season 9 right after Ben had 'disappeared' when she was at her most vulnerable since Gary was with Jill. And it would have spurred Gary to take action about having it documented he was the father of the twins because he didn't trust Danny nor did he trust Val's judgement. So once Danny is removed then the Jill story could have started. And I wouldn't have shown Jill trying to kill Val...I would have left it unclear for awhile...and then later shown in scenes that Jill did try to kill her.

I actually liked Unhappily After...it made Married with Children seem conventional

I actually thought the movie was better than people say. The relationship between Taryn and her mom was toxic...and showed some motivation for her mom's domineering ways. And the last scene was done well by Daryl Hannah. Acting ice cold, but when Lauri's back is turned...you see the sadness in her eyes. And I'm thinking Marc Singer's character had taken advantage of Taryn.

The timing of the plot...it happened on the heels of the Jill Bennett story..and was viewed by most as a way to keep Gary and Val apart. Lastly it made Val look like an idiot.

Punky Brewster had a good start at #40... considering it was in a tough timeslot.

I did think the final season showcased Anne best with her being so insecure about being alone that she pretended to be pregnant and had the loveless marriage to Greg. And I recall a scene where she went to get plastic surgery and the dr stated she didn't need anything done..that she had low self esteem. I also liked Nick coming back..and he was with Claudia because Anne was with Greg.

Paige as Mack's daughter was an interesting element for Dobson to play..and it was interesting seeing the subtle elements that went on between Paige and Karen. They weren't close, but Paige knew Karen made Mac happen while Karen knew Paige made Mac happy as well...plus both also tolerated Anne. The one thing I liked about Anne being on in the later seasons was that she had moved on from getting Mac back..but had developed a healthy co existing relationship with Mac and Karen. I often think had stronger writers been there in season 12 and 13..those elements would have been explored more.

If they wanted to put someone famous on the announcement that came from AW...Anne Heche would have been the logical choice since she was doing fairly well in the mainstream at that point.

I can see she was trying to mimic Brenda...but she lacked that delusional regal vibe that Brenda had as Jill.

She was hardly in the tv movie.. more like a cameo.. so naturally it was Joan's twin sister

Someone finally uploaded the Paper Dolls 1982 tv movie.

I think Swajeski managed to make the Iris/Rachel duo more complex after Mac's death. Both were devastated by Mac's death and it bonded them in an odd way.

I'd forgotten Dru and diane interacted. I think it was shortly after this that Diane was dropped.

NJ: Tacky just like a Jersey girl. Margaret's is the best..imho BH: 8 is too many. Ericka and Dorit needed to be demoted to friend ofs. Neither bring anything interesting.

Andy also thought Brandi was awesome so I side eye any glowing reviews he gives off
