“Elizabeth” is described as a Black female in her mid-30s. Described as gorgeous, intelligent, charming and witty, Elizabeth also holds an air of mystery about her. Elizabeth landed a job as a paralegal and began a love affair with Joseph, who was married at the time to Sara—the woman who suggested her husband hire Elizabeth! I LOVE THIS. Elizabeth is the Brooke of the show! LOVE IT. “Diane” has two faces. The one that she shows to the world and one that is reserved for private moments. And beware... the psycho is called Diane. LOVE IT.

Food poisoning is not a joke. I could barely function today. I still am barely here. I was thinking of dialing for an ambulance this morning.

God I'm getting so f-cking mad. This is my favorite season after 1993! And they f-ck it up! Uuuuuuuuuuuuugh!

I strongly suggest we continue emailing them. Something needs to be done about this. It's a huge fiasco to miss so much episodes and expect people to still watch. They will lose viewers like this. BTW - still no reply to my original email.

This is so fascinating. I am starting to dive into it. Thank you again for sharing.

I actually never knew about her deleted scene in Rosemary's baby. God, and I thought I knew everything. Thank you a million for this little bit. I am now dreaming of how this scene looked and felt like. I would have loved Joan in Rosemary's Baby. She fits the Satanic undertone amazingly well. I mean... her success story... it could have been a wink-wink-sold-her-soul-to-the-Devil Faustian thing. I would have loved it. Amazing.

I kinda agree, but I still love the movie. Something about the atmosphere... I like to watch it when I'm alone... in a dark room, under the covers. Makes me feel cozy. I looove the original too.

I agree 100 percent on all the points you made. Her last roles were very bad and her acting too, was not at the level she used to deliver. I actually cringe when I watch some of her late movies. There was this movie, Berserk, where she was lit from above in like every scene, I'm sure that was written in her contract, she didn't want to have a bad angle or bad shot. But it created the opposite, eerie effect. I also feel she should have stayed on Hush... How legendary it would have been! With Bette, one more time. Strait Jacket is like... my last favorite movie with her - she gave a performance, even though the movie was cringe. She was great in it. Really sinister and just... delivering. Her career is a bit of a roller-coaster. When she was high - she was up in the stars and when she was down - she was flopping hard.

These rumors are disgustingly spread by Brooke haters non-stop. From the minute Krista was out. Like literally the minute she was out they started blaming KKL. Nothing of it is true. KKL has never had an issue with Krista. They actually had amazing chemistry and brought out the best from one-another. Bradley killed that too.

God, if Finn and Hope marry, does this mean Brooke will have to sleep with him too... Since he will be her daughter's husband. Her specialty. 😂

I haven't watched still. What happened... Did Hope and Finn... get close or is it a fantasy again? 😂

I knew I was not the only one. I think the Emmy nomination was the icing on the cake. It probably fu-cked with Brad's ego. In symbolic way it was a statement that Krista knew what she was doing... and he couldn't tolerate that. And probably couldn't bare to HAVE to write something smarter or deal with an actress that had THAT strong opinions. And someone that dared to laugh about the way he was writing. God, how I cringe when I think of this man. I will stop, before I get... passionate.

I can say one thing that I've noticed and is just a fruit of my own analysis. Krista was not happy with how Taylor was written. She wanted the character to improve and go in different paths. While she was on, she joked many times about the character and I could feel her frustration and how she wanted to make her better. Just listen to some of her interviews and you'll sense this. I was so happy that finally someone was speaking like that, and so openly, but on the back of my mind, I used to tell myself - Boy, oh, boy, Bradley probably doesn't like all of this... and he is probably finding her hard to work with. I never had any idea back then she would be let off and etc. These were just passing thoughts... but when she did exit... and twitter and the boards were on fire... there were people SPECULATING and talking about alleged seen and heard things behind the scenes (that's why I didn't want to mention it)... it was all about how Krista and Bradley had disagreements about the character and scenes and at times... the energy became very toxic. That's as far as I feel comfortable repeating this, since it's just speculations. I can only say that there were not jealous actresses and things like that. It was Bradley Bell's issue from the beginning. Till the End. Bradley likes people who adore him and like his way of thinking. He writes incredibly cheap stuff and feels inferior when someone questions them... that's why I believe in my deepest of hearts, he started to dislike Krista. I may be wrong. I don't know. That's my take... but it's just an analysis of what I've seen and heard, and not a true statement of truth.

I don't forgive and I don't forget.

I knew something was wrong. 😂

I fast-forward watched the last 3 episodes and thank God... that this show's got new writers coming in couple of months. I was not aware that Bradley Bell was not the worst, but... I guess I was wrong. It's laughably bad and cringe and... feels like a porno without the sex. Disturbing.

To me, just as a bystander, this is sending a vile message. I don't care how many fans this couple or character had...(it's strange to me that people are counting them, but whatever...) the message that the homophobe mother stays, while the gay character/half of a gay couple... is exiting, is, to me, a premonition of scary times to come. It just feels off. And I would second what @Liberty City mentioned - Jacqueline Lopez said she didn't see it coming. And people should really LET others have different opinions on this forum. Just because you don't see something, that doesn't mean others don't. If I was a fan of this couple and that happened, I would be upset, 100 percent upset. If we didn't care why would we even spend time on boards discussing things. We care, we are passionate, and that's okay.

If they skip important episodes from the Breacon scandal... that would be a huuuge miss. I mean... what the...

Story about models, coming from Bradley Bell. I would pass on that, thank you. But if it was written by someone else, someone who won't turn it into cringe in 5 seconds - good idea!

I hope Krista comes out with her version some day... I really want to hear it/read it. I have my own doubts and I've heard some things that I'm not sure that I can repeat, since I'm not 100 percent sure it's the truth. One thing I know, for 100 percent certainty, from people behind the scenes - is that KKL has never been a reason for Krista's dismissal. Never.
