Danger!!! lol

@DaytimeFan I saw over this past week that DYNASTY fans were celebrating Dominique Deveraux's appearance on the show. And I came across this picture...I'm so used to knowing Dame Jean as Alexis that I forget that her career was off and running loooong before then. A beauty...

Yum yum eat 'em up!!! Love a man in a suit. Emphasis on MAN.

Oh Lord Baby Jesus! He knows now? The irony! The way tables have turned. Well, I hope WHEN Nicole finds out he knew, she reminds him of his history when she reads him for flith.

5-10 Now THAT...is the reaction that I want more people to have!!! OMG!!! I'm glad that I kept watching then. lol. Sheila knew she was dead wrong to lay there and taunt Li. And Li's reaction. CHEF'S KISS!!! I think most people know I want a Round 2 between Li and Sheila. I STILL want one like Round 1 where Li beat her tail. But I loved Li pouncing on her. I was sooooo mad Deacon ran in and stopped her. Cuz Li was in her right to beat Sheila's tail a second time. Meanwhile, I actually liked Steffy coming to the (very) slow realization that Sheila was alive. It was such a soapy ending to the week with that close-up on Steffy. I do hope that is the end of the mention of the word 'Sugar.' Then I just realized that BROOKE doesn't know yet. So...never mind. le sigh. And what is this storyline coming up with that young triangle? Ugh...no.

RHOP Ooh??? Not Gizelle being the target without Robyn Juan's Roommate to save her...

I would think someone is going to do an interview soon enough given how ratings have been. But tbf, that was usually DAYS's m.o. before Peacock.

In time indeed.

5-7 Jordan is so camp. lol. But lord if I don't enjoy seeing CZ do her thing even though I hate the character. I am wondering if she is going to use that liquor bottle to escape a la a fire. But how to get it to burn. Hmmm. I see Daniel and Heather have vanished. *side-eye* Good to see that others are picking up on the hostility between Summer and Claire. And now the nanny is gone? I guess that should be coming to a head. I FF through most anything Chelesa/Billy and Adam/Sally. And I'm sad that Sally is back to sidekick to Adam in most scenes. So the real thing catching my interest this past week so far is the Ashley story. And due to the story going on with Jack and Diane (which was so pretty great scenes, too), I expect that to have yet ANOTHER wrinkle in the Jack/Diane relationship...which I would say IT'S ABOUT TIME. Diane has been nothing, but background (outside of that C story with Kyle) for a year now. Let's test that marriage. But going back to Ashley...I don't think I had time to say before now, but I LOVE the episode where it was 'Jean' vs 'Niki' (I'm sure the OLTL fans get that). It was just such a joy (not the story) of watching Eileen Davidson ACT. And then to see that 'Jean' is back in control. Le sigh. Ashley takes one step forward...and then more steps backwards. And now there was Ashley already sending her friend off. I really hope that is not the last we see of CC though.

Same. And I giggle each and every time you bring up JD as a love interest for Tracy...because I know you don't want THAT. I don't think he has. And as said above, he rarely does himself speak on it.

5-08 Oh, how I hollered when Hope did the perfect soap faint. Good job, Annika. lol. I may find this Sheila storyline ridiculous and repetitive, but I have been living for the funny moments. So Hope doing that faint was right up my alley. And Lord, how the writers are setting Steffy up for a big fall. Cuz her at home with Finn and the dinner. LOL!!!

Not Eva pulling a Eileen Davidson!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially since she's recurring on GH right now. That could work in GH's favor!!!

Well they can be a B story, too. lol. But I'm sure something will (hopefully) happen to Sonny at the wedding.

Hehe. I bowed out of this past season...outside of Part 1 of the Reunion. This is good tea for me. But I agree that he was slowly stepping back from Dorit for a while even before last season. Exactly. I guess it IS who you know.

I think we are all over her talking about it. lol. That said...I missed the ruining since I bowed out viewing this current season.

Yeah re: the wedding. It seem like PM and EK was hinting at things going down at the wedding (besides the wedding) for a while. But it really occurred to me when BLQ sent Lois to get Sonny to go. Sonny who is currently off his meds. And at least with his storyline getting heat (from first the audience finding out, then ava, and now Carly suspecting), it would be a prime time to come out with everyone there. And that's just one story. Then there's Gregory and his health. And that's been increasing in story over time as well. And that immediately connects to Tracy given her feelings for him. Tracy connects to the Qs where we have Drew/Nina, the growing relationship with Sasha/Cody who now live there, her friendship to Finn who is already having issues with his dad. And those are just small parts of the whole canvas and not everyone who will be at the wedding. I mean...wasn't Sonny worried that Jason and Carly would be there? And they are just now suspecting he's off his meds. So... ...if I can see that, I do hope that the writers take that ball and run with it. Because it does seem like they were really setting up for a climax with the wedding BESIDES just the wedding. Meanwhile...Alexis out of town (the only person NOT at the wedding really) arguing to get her license restored would be a great B story. Hahahaha!!!! Honestly with Jason and Carly possibly there and Sonny definitely there and Pikeman maybe climaxing...that could happen.

Well, that's good to hear. Because outside of Jordan dragging her (and to a lesser extent Ryan at the start), I don't think anyone is opposing Laura supporting Heather really. I agree. I like the twist with Valentin because that story has been an uneven mess and I suspect that it spells the end of him. That it might be Anna who does it...AND she is being played smart and fierce like Anna should be is just a bonus.

Exactly. I'm still enjoying it...some parts more than others...but even I've noticed for all of the enriching dialogue and talking...there's been a decrease in action. When PM/EK started, there was the talking that was character building, but there was at least some form of action (in the form of Jason's return for the most part) going on that gave the overall momentum. And somehow...that momentum has been lost. Outside of Jason's return, the only other major thing going on that has momentum behind it has been Chase and BLQ's wedding. It has beats. And it definitely has enough parts to it to be called a potential umbrella story for not just the wedding, but several of the guests that have been invited who have had their own stories slowly building since the start of (and some even before) Jason's return. I'm trying to wait and see if it all comes together with the wedding. And with the coming together at the wedding, that momentum kicking back in. Because right now, while I like that we are getting character building conversation, lately it's been mostly all talk. And I can't help given previous history under FV, if it's a case of interference again. Until then, like you, I have a lot of questions like what you have as well. Though I do feel as has been mentioned on the thread before that PM and EK's full vision won't be seen until the fall. Though I said as early as late summer. lol.

Trina's new love interest!!

Well to be fair...there were some cliffhangers when they started out. And now they just fell away. I'm shocked that now that we are digging into May, there has not been much of anything...especially on Fridays. Yeah, I do question some of the connecting...not that it is wrong per se, but I hope with some of the connecting, it is leading to some of the dead weight characters leaving.

I agree. I don't watch DAYS at all due to the Peacock move and still have opinions simply due to the fact that I have been an on-again/off-again viewer since the first possession. Even when I have been behind here, I have opinions and ideas. Or I see a clip. And I have a thought. Hey. I'm still watching B&B and barely have a thought at the moment. Well, anything that isn't repetitive. lol. I hopefully feel that they are. But I've been said some of the sort over the last few months. I simply hope there's not too much interference going on.

Ugh.

But she could have feuded with Kyle. That said...is it for real...or just a storyline in itself?

Taste!!

NY Just finished Episode 5 of nuNY a while ago. And...still liking it. However it does feel like two different storms are building. One is everyone vs Jenna. The one thing I did not like about the first cast trip was that everyone was mad at Jenna because she stepped out...to her own house in the Hamptons mind you...to do work. They were partying still, so why not. She is a businesswoman. And she apologized if they took it the wrong way. Now, they are mad at her for wanting to spend X-mas with her son she does not often have time for? It seems like they are just finding a reason to pick on her. And the second one is Erin vs Jessel. What started as a nitpick (Jessel with a backhand apology to Jenna) has turned into what 'could' be seen as a character flaw...to SOME. It's becoming clear that Jessel...whether she is right or wrong...is not the type who backs down from no one. That can be good for a Housewife. So far....outside of the Jenna apology...I do think I am Team Jessel on that. Like Jenna, it seems like the ladies (re: Erin) is just trying to find a reason to pick on her. She gave her reason. She apologize if she offended. And she tries to keep it moving. So what is the problem? And on a whole other level, Jessel does seem to see she is being picked on and fighting back cuz...why you girls pressed? Over wording? Cuz Hag is a dated phrase. Over the word princess? Cuz Jessel has struggled more than some of the ladies. Over her sex life? You friends or therapists? It's Housewife petty, but that's why I'm here. And now they seem like they are about to gang up on Jenna again next episode so le sigh. UBAH. I'm sorry she feels sad even though she's accomplished so much. ERIN. I have been enjoying seeing all of the Housewives showing their actual work life. Erin is no different. But it does feel like she is trying to start some kind of feud. I even want to say that she appeared to be trying to be a wannabe feud between Jenna and Jessel. It felt like she thought Jessel would be the weak one. But she is finding that is going to be the case. And she seem a bit entitled during the luncheon with Jessel. JENNA. Now Jenna, I didn't like them picking on you on the cast trip. But you did a bit of pot stirring during HagGate. I see you. lol. And it was weird to see online how everyone pick on Jenna about her gf, but she IS showing family life. SAI. You know what? Cleverly I stand corrected on what it takes to be an influencer after watching her show what it was like for her. I found it eye-opening. And I like her relationship with her husband. I can see why they are together. And I loved she was being a friend for Brynn. JESSEL. Speaking of husbands, I like hers. He's that goofy kind of guy that I like. So not shocked as he sat with her and tried to explain why the other girls might be having an issue with her. There's a Confessional she gave in this episode that made me giggle cuz it was so a Housewife Confessional and so effortlessly done. Yeah, I think I might like her. She definitely will be interesting to watch since everyone keeps coming for her. BRYNN. Still my fave. And hearing about her childhood...WOW. I feel so stupid because it didn't click for me for some reason that she was biracial. But seeing her as a kid...ooooooohhhh.
