If I'm not mistaken...how JG exited the show last time. And when JFP came in as the EP.

Oh, I see. I be forgetting he is even still on the show. And don't get me started on remembering that he is dating Carly aka the Leading Lady. How? Where? lol.

lol

Same.

Yeah, I can also agree that Jason/Britt 1.0 was lightning in a bottle for the same reason that Damian Kane on Y&R worked...it was new and fresh and full of potential. Potential that got squandered for something that never worked in the first place. Or as I called it earlier...an albatross to the show. On this show...the Carly/Jason relationship. So I don't think Jason/Britt 2.0 will have the same reaction. Moreso if they are already doing propping duties in the writing to make it work. 1.0 worked originally because it was organic and needed no propping. At least from what I remember.

Totally. That was another thing that surprised me coming back to regularly viewing. I was not for the recast (no offense to Chris who I always loved on OLTL), but they used him a lot more...for better or worse...than they do now. Now he feels like an afterthought and islanded off in that Alias story. Just a complete waste of what little potential the character had. NOW I too feel like he is just a time waster for Carly. Which this past week, I started to think who could Carly be paired with. Cuz I don't feel...unless I'm wrong...that the writers are doing Nina/Sonny/Carly again given the recent Nina/Sonny scenes I saw.

I admit that I'm starting my rewatch and it is (no offense to TMG or AM) irking me that two months out from the anniversary party, SilkPress and Eva are ki-ki-ing like nothing happened. Where are the consequences? Aren't we overdue for someone to talk to our resident Nosy Nurse about Lulu? Wow...TWO YEARS? lol. jk. Seriously though, I agree. Some of what made Stefano so terrorizing on DAYS in the 90s for me as a teenager was the fact that he came in and out of plot as needed. Usually unexpected. Sometimes as the Friday cliffhanger. With an entrance, theme music and all!!! And you knew stakes were IMMEDIATELY raised. Before he was walking free all about town as if nothing happened. It's to JM's strength that you still feared Stefano walking around free, but it was such a weak vibe versus not knowing. I agree. That was what I liked about the show separating Dani and Bill into separate stories for a little while. Once Bill made it to the hospital, Dani/Andre had been going on for a while so now there was some organic tension between them. I would take Bill over Ashley as the interloper any day. But alas. Same.

I speak only the truth. lol. I see the potential, but I just feel like if it go there...and I feel like they will...it's propped writing to keep the focus on where the writers want us to focus...the A story of Dani/Bill/Hayley...which is my least favorite of the 3 main A stories. Though it's good with the new baby lie, it's just slanted writing for me. I would almost be over the idea of it if it was not for the fact that it's been established since the first episode that Andre does like Ashley so the idea of him dropping Dani for her is not far-fetched. Several characters have called Andre out on his feelings for Ashley. Also, the potential of that triangle mixing up with Dani/Bill/Hayley is intriguing enough due to Ashley suspecting that Hayley is lying and we are still waiting for the other shoe to drop when Ashley realizes that the other woman in Andre's life IS Dani. Now that the show has shown us that Ashley can be neurotic AND petty, it's not far fetched to imagine her finding out for sure about Hayley, about to tell the truth, only to find out about Dani and Andre and keep to herself out of spite for Dani being the 'other woman.' Look at her she treats Shanice.

All good points which makes me even more livid. I don't think I will ever forgive taking a surprisingly dynamic new character with a great actor and stripping down all of his story that made him refreshing to the audience and giving it to a recast of a character that was an albatross to this show.

THAT is the question. I'm sure we will know by Monday. A good sign. I hope it's in person. Totally agree about Tricia. Very. I am letting it delete off my system today without even watching I'm so heated. Outside of the spoiler, I have no desire to watch. None.

And Alexia has already started to backtrack ahead of the too-soon-to-film reunion.

Yaaaaay!!! I've been waiting. And this? Worth the wait!! Cuz the last few episodes have been awesome with the scenery, the fashion, and the drama. It is giving that easy, breezy 'is it over already?' vibe I love in my HW seasons versus being a chore to watch. Not that RHOM ever really is. Now...some fun tea...hehe. I get the Teri Hatcher reference. Hehe. Nicole, Stephanie, and Guerdy hanged out later on and posted pictures online, too. The breakup of Adriana and Julia has been its own little slow burn. And while I'm sad to see it, it has been well done because it's been building over seasons...like Marysol's growing dislike of Todd which I hope does explode this season as well. Even this season, it started from episode one. I know it's clear that I've turned on Julia, but when her drama is more organic and realistic like this, I'm a lot more invested. And we know I live for friendship fallouts because they usually resonate with me. So their discussion on the dueling yachts (I know you LOVE those dueling yachts hehe) felt real and I love it more for it. As for Adriana being edited out, at first I was worried that she might be. But I never count the Queen out of bring the diva fun and some drama so again she proved she's worth the wait. Not us on different sides even after that rewind from Production! lol. You're on point about Stephanie per some tweets online about foreclosure on that house if I'm not mistaken.

And we are definitley not checking for Dani/Andre/Ashley either.

Speak on it!

Yep, yep.

Oooooo lol. Good tea. You and @Soapsuds Miss that fine bubble butt.

OMG!!! Love it!!!

Pierson Fode maybe?

I know I saw that tea at work last night and about fell out of my chair. I guess things did change BTS.

Well...

Same. They have done such a good job with him. Interesting for a recurring character. Same. The Dupree family moments (not to mention events on this show) have gotten few and far in-between over the last three months so nice to have another one. And a fun one at that. It takes me back to the start of the show when we were getting an event a week. And more family moments every other week. I agree. It was some a cute moment. Hahahahaha

Oh, lord. You all are right...he is never leaving. smh. There is now thanks to BTG. Girl can stay gone.

Well, I know what I'll be watching for X-mas.

Lol.

Hehe. You right. DEFINITELY. But the writers seem bound and determined to have that darn triangle. Hahhaha. I do like Derek call Ashley out about that. It's been there since Day 1. Ashley needs to admit it at this point.
