RHOP whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhattttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, yeah. I was shocked because I did not realize who Sally was talking to cuz I was doing task yesterday. But I looked up, saw it, and actually rewind. It just had a vibe to it even when I was not looking so I wanted to watch. I loved seeing them bond over their similarities. Even I kinda wondered why had this not happened before now. Because they really got each other in a way that I was not expecting. Perhaps it was because Audra was actually being vulnerable.

Exactly! So the REAL question in regards to Heather...if the direction is going the way that I put out there...can AM pull it off? I feel she can. But...time will tell.

He still fighting. Or at least using his brain. But this story continues to be waaaay left. And your last sentence is how I am feeling playing catch-up right now. Because am I missing something? Cuz it was just a fight in Paris...it makes no sense when Ashley has gone through much worse to have a breakdown than an argument with her husband. You are probably right re: Kyle. Especially since I read the description for today's episode. Oh, God yes. The best thing about this crazy story has been Eileen Davidson and watching her selling this story through her eyes, voice inflections, body language and picking up on the naunces. Even when she's being cringe like when Ashley was in Tucker's room with Audra/Tucker saying exactly what she wanted. Cuz Ashley was the definition of desperation at that moment, but darn it if Eileen was not selling the scene though. Ik, ik...like the GH thread, I need to catch up 😜 And THANK YOU!!! Watching Thursday's episode...as much as I love watching Tucker/Ashley as of late...that was my train of thought. What could have possibly happened to make Ashley break down now given everything you listed. An argument in a French restaurant just does not compare.

I will take hints where I can. hehe.

3-14 Well we knew it would happen @DramatistDreamer, but they killed your lovely Lily/Daniel/Heather idea. Thanks to being told Christel was on maternity leave, I was actually looking forward to her coming back. IMHO, up until Lily vanished to take care of Mattie, I felt the Lily/Daniel/Heather triangle was pretty (debatedly) well-paced. Daniel and Heather finally slept together. And Devon knew. Well, everyone knew. But no one really told Lily. So there was drama to be mined when Lily walked into Daniel's apartment to surprise him. And she got surprised by 'family' time. But THAT was it? I would rather Lily did what she said she WANTED to do...namely slap Daniel AND DEVON. JG really and literally just sucked the drama right out of that triangle like THAT. I shouldn't be shocked and yet...lol. I did like the beautiful side-eye Lily was giving Heather all through the pre-break-up scenes. And thank God Audra/Tucker/Ashley showed up midweek. Outside of Victor vs Jordan, I guess I had been waiting on that, too. And as expected, Audra's insecurities is already showing. And wow...Audra/Sally as friends? I wouldn't mind that. And those Tucker/Ashley scenes...mmmm. I liked Tucker is getting a clue, BUT he still fell for it. Giving into the body language TSJ has been displaying as he keeps saying no to Ashley. Speaking of Ashley, her scenes with Abby was straight out of late 90s DAYS OF OUR LIVES. I wouldn't mind that. But also as expected, watching 3-15 and I'm scared they are going to throw Kyle at them again.

Oh, yes. It's so universal. The world loves a good whodunnit.

RHOP I just finished the last cast trip episodes. Yeah...meh. THE GOOD. On one hand, it was nice to see the girls having fun. It did verge on getting boring outside of La Dame of course, but they were sitting there actually having fun and ki-ki-ing. And they could be civil to each other. So it was sad to see that go left due to...you guessed it-or not...the GEB. Messy Mia being...well...a MESS. Digging into Ashley's divorce...and I'm starting to think she never will cuz she has nothing. So loved Mia clocking that. I also loved her paying Ashley in dust. Then you have Mia spinning a narrative with Gee...keeping the girls guessing when they know she lies. And then Mia was full of delusions. I loved Keirana (?). She seem fun and fresh...just like my girl Jacqueline. That said...it should say something that she clocked the whole group dynamic reaaaal quick. THE BAD The divide. I think the one thing I really found fascinating...and I hope the reunion resolves it...was for every moment that the divide was exposed and issues got brought up to be dealt with, it would be quickly pushed down regardless putting it on the table to be dealt with little women rather than sitting there and being catty (c) Claudia Jordan. And that made the trip really uneven if I'm being honest. And really tiring. What makes it so frustrating was that it was clear that it was GIZELLE and ROBYN, but it seems like online people want to pick on Wendy and Candiace now. That said...there was a point during the trip yeeeeeah Candiace kinda irked me cuz she did the same thing the GEB was doing. Maybe we should put Gizelle and Candiace in a room and let them fight. Oh, well...I have hope for the next episode with Jacqueline's return cuz I've been looking forward to seeing her. But this season has me tired now. And I was one of the few who loved how it started. It just stalled in the middle of the season and has never recovered. La Dame and Messy Mia can only do soooooo much when your production team are bias.

hehe. But you get it. Not trying to derail the thread.

Is that some chest hair?

Granted I'm bias (and I haven't read the full thread yet) because I loved her as the original BLQ on GH, but I liked her as Colleen from what little I've seen of her. I was just annoyed they put her with the professor since I did like JT and Colleen. But I liked Lindsey, too. Same.

Given how people get...hmmm picky...about using that particular word, I chose not to.

3-15 Well, all the talk about Heather and the hip has had me thinking at work today. I know a lot of us do not like over-the-top Heather and haven't for years. So perhaps the hip thing is going to be a way to bring Heather not only back from being looney, laugh a minute Ron Carlivati written character and more to what I've and the audience are used to Heather being...CUNNING. Perhaps cunning enough to make a more worthy adversary for Laura. It would give Laura someone to bounce off of which she has not had since Victor died. And it might raise the stakes in the battle over Ace that would surely come since a loony Heather is one thing, but Heather who would be crafty about how to get Ace could be interesting to see. I too have loved the cliffhanger. Though I loved the Thursday one better. Could this misdiagnosis on Curtis's Dad turn into a social story? A sign of where EK and PM are going? I thought it was a good week. And I'm looking forward to a full week of EK and PM to get more of a feel for what to expect. Though I do feel Pat is definitely doing the 'lay of the land' with the characters a la Douglas Marland's rule for writing a soap but using the characters they got before they do anything like a massive get rid of.

*cough*karma*cough*

Oooo interesting. I always liked Almanzo when I was younger. I could see that.

TBF, Laura still has her adventure moments and it still feels organic. For example...her reintroduction per GF's schedule as a disguised nun (with Kevin as back-up which I thought was cute and ties into Laura's adventure past) to save Valentin from Victor's Charlotte trip.

Well...SOMEONE is aging nicely. hehe. And Dame Joan!!! YES, PLEASE.

I admit that I like having Charlotte around because she gives Elizabeth's kids something to do. And I was liking her story under the scab writers. But with the new writers NOW here...well...is that Lulu on the phone??? I definitely would like to see more of Rocco for sure. Which again could include Charlotte, too. We know I love all of Elizabeth's kids. I would say in time. Something the writers apparently realized. And are doing the gradual (and old school to be blunt) thing...as they should if they want anyone to be interested in seeing teens. I don't expect big story...YET...it is not even summer hehe, but at least a presence enough that we as an audience get used to them. And THEN...story. Again...old school. Which of course was my point. I agree about older teens as well. But again...in time.

Oh, yeah...it sounds like a LOT of cutting up in going on during filming for them. Should be another great season from what little I know of it. Yep. From getting sympathy to being back on the struggle bus. lol.

Hehe. I think you are the second person (me being the first) that think that episode ran a little long. While I love the episode (and I'm sure Jamie Lee did, too), I don't like how fans want to hype it as much as they do vs the true heir to the best IMHO the episode after it. Well, it dropped, I was just leaving my job in fine dining though I've been part of the industry for decades so that really and truly hit for me...like a lot of the fans who come from that background. But when people mention it online, there is always some fan that is quick to bring up the Jamie Lee Curtis episode with the quickness. And it's like DUDE, STFU and let the poster breathe. One liking another episode other than you does not take away from the episode you like. rme. But yeah, among the fanbase, those two and the one you picked with Marcus in Norway are the easy faves. So I'm happy you loved that one. And btw...the show has been renewed for Season 3 AND Season 4 which is being filmed back to back. Hopefully, Season 3 will be coming out at its usual time of June this year. I agree. I miss the days of writing gray characters. No propping. And there is definitely known of that on this show. Everyone get good moments. Everyone get bad moments. But you at least get to see and feel where they are coming from. The arcs have been great and I look forward to more.

3-12 You know what? I loved every minute of Victor turning the tables on Jordan. I did not expect Nick with the taser (but glad to see him). And I was finger snapping at my screen. So she really thought she was going to get one over on THE Victor Newman. And Victor was And are they setting up Adam vs Claire? I think I'm over Chance/Summer. What was a happy accident is turning into a bore. Though I love seeing CF shirtless. And ugh at Billy being back, but at least he's mixing it up in story that is NOT Chelsea. I wish I could feel sorry for Giggly Heffa, but I DON'T. Thank God, Nick walked away from the oncoming mess.

3-13 I admit that Finn having all these visions of Sheila. Is he about to have his crazy moment?

3-14 WAIT! WHAT???? Just when I was starting to feel that rushed feeling about Jason's return...we got THAT twist. Let me hit myself in the head because I really should have thought about that. And just ironically as I was sitting here watching Anna with Molly thinking how is the Jason/Dante stuff so weird to her given her history of being a double agent. It should be clear he might be. And that THAT happened? lol. But why would John be doing all this? So...intriguing still. I guess I'm happy that it was a quick gradual, but I liked it was gradual the town finding out that Jason's alive. I liked how Danny has been roped into the whole Jason storyline. No wonder he got so much screentime before. Well-played. That said...I don't have access to DAYS and had only see pictures of SB's time over there. I always felt that tattoo was fake. But...it's REAL??? Lord Baby Jesus. That's all I'll say about that. So happy to see these Lois/Sonny scenes. But as I've already said, I do like having Lois back and sticking around. At least until the wedding. Also happy to see Blaze's mother still around as well. Let's see where that story goes. Speaking of where stories are going...that Laura/Heather scene. I know it pre-dates my birth...but Laura and Heather were actually friends once? REALLY??? Why have the writers never tapped into that in all the Heather appearances over the last few years or so. I never knew. Yes, I liked Ms. Wu sashaying into Curtis's bar. And giving Curtis the tea on the shooting. It's funny how that random shooting is turning into this big umbrella storyline. It's been a minute...perhaps Peter's last death? Now I'm wondering if they are going to take Curtis's dad's storyline and give it a twist as well. ETA: I almost forgot. I had to hollered at the swiftness in which the writers broke up Drew and Carly. I know everyone take about how Drew get treated when Jason comes around. And I was sure he would get thrown under the bus again. But the fact Drew was dogging his own self off, but telling the truth about how they treat him when Jason is around so he cut the cord QUICK. I couldn't help but hollered. As if the writers read these pages.

AT LASSSSSSSSSSST *singing*

I hate to say it, but...Blond Schwartz looks kinda hot. That said...What in the world...!!! MIDSEASON TRAILER!!!!
