Same.

They did already. They even got married. Then they vanished. And I want to say that was when the amnesiac Liam story eventually started. And they were definitely apart when Sheila's last return (2017) started since Sheila was a red herring to trying to shoot Quinn (it was Deacon). And somewhere in there, Quinn had pushed him off a cliff, but he survived. I was not a regular viewer then so someone else might be able to connect the dots better.

See? I could see him as Jeff and it would allow Liz's storyline (what's left of it now) to move forward.

8-10 Well I see the director stuck again on 8-9 with those camera angles on JM. hehe. Or perhaps it's just the slacks. That said...IMANI!!! Good to have her back to do Lady MacBeth damage on Nate. Though it's bittersweet now given the news over in the Spoiler thread. I admit that I liked history was touched on this week so far. Chloe and Chance's relationship. Billy ribbing on Phyllis about their own past. Jack's history of being a father figure/mentor to Adam. Abby/Devon. You can't tell me they are doing this Tessa with the robotic voice thing as something other than a joke/comedic relief. Yeah I felt nothing for him. However if anything is coming out of this Ashland mess, it's the fact that Chance is being written in character and it's giving the actor something to do, allowing for him to settle in nicely.

I feel the same. And while I am sure Harmony and Alexis had some forced scenes (definitely some forced dialogue), these scenes Alexis has with the dad just come across sooooo forced they are like nails on a chalkboard when they are on screen together. I think they have only had one that came across as organic for me.

Hahaha at the pic. And while I've behind, I was happy to see that Trina did get cleared. It does feel like it has been forever, but I agree that that has allowed people to get used to the recast and even root for her. Speaking of behind...pun unintended... 8-5 Where do I even begin? I cannot begin to tell you how much I rewinded that slap Ava gave Esme. Thank you so much for the headsup. That was some Ava stuff for sure. Not so Ava...her being unnerved by the parapet fall. The Ava who shot Connie in cold blood would have been plotting from the word 'go' to be sure it was not traced back to her. And needed NO men to help her cover up. But I guess I could blame it on that happening right behind her finding out Nik slept with Esme, but still... And it's nice to see Sasha's breakdown continue. Honestly I was bored with it...and her acting during the destruction of the man's car left much to be desired. But seeing how Sasha's breakdown is causing drama for Deception AND Brando (welcome back, Martin!) in the form of him having to do tough love on her Britney Spears style (too soon?) has been somewhat interesting. Shut up, Joss!!! lol. Love how the Rory/Trina/Spencer triangle has developed by the reveal that Spencer finally told everyone he was Trina's alibi and he was working to expose Esme the whole time. Loving the shifting in the dynamic as he appears to lose his freedom...for now. And it's nice to see the Portia hating Nik coming back into play. I am not going to like Alexis/Chase's Dad so stop it. lol. And mmmmmm at Chase in the pool at the start of 8-5. Still enjoying him and Brooklyn, but this plot does need to move along. I feel like we have been having them circling each other for a while. Same with Trina and Spencer...but they at least have a shifting dynamic. And don't get me started on Liz's storyline being hijacked by Finn.

Her vs Grace?

Exactly!!! Every time I tune in, I can at least say that I see something that intrigues me. But when Ron is on a roll, the show he writes for can be exciting. He's just checked out.

I would love to see it. Oh, the drama... lol. I had always wanted to see Steffy with Carter...but they have done such a good job with Steffy and Finn over the last year...I cannot help, but like them. They are so good together. And as a writer, they have so much build in drama they can mind. Right now, there's the tension with Li that's growing, there's the spectre of Sheila of course, and I'm sure if I try I could think of more.

That's a name that I haven't heard in a while. Good for her.

Yeah, I admit that I even liked Kyle in that ad. As for RHOA, I continued to say it feels like a more interesting version of Season 11, because the chemistry is there, but it has not gotten too dramatic yet. I definitely would love to see everyone (even Marlo) back for next season so see that chemistry boil over. And perhaps Porsha back to make it pop. Well...I actually forgot about LaToya . And I never wanted her to go. But...she could be back...her and Drew are cool now.

Same. Love THE NEVERENDING STORY. Hard to hear since I so remember so many times seeing her name watching 90210.

That was a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing. It also reminded me that MEN IN TREES was back in the days when the world of televisions actually allowed for summer series separated from the regular fall shows and winter premieres. I remember it getting decent advertisements back then until the end that is. Just...a different time.

I would agree with this. She has been underutilized, but when she does show up, she does have presence. It is a shame they can't (or won't as some have already said) write for her.

HAHA!!! Here for Teresa and Kenya!!!

You forgot the back. No deal. Now don't even put that out into the universe. But seriously yes...Alex does remind me of Jeremy. Except I am not wanting to touch the sky.

Same. But I will give Griffith this much...I liked that he acknowledged the fact pre and post Diane's return that Jack and Phyllis had gone through a lot (of story) so they slowly got back together and that's currently why Phyllis shooting herself in the foot stung so much and oh so hard for Jack. Like...was she playing him the whole time? Will she keep playing him? Why would he want her back if he's only good when Phyllis wants to stick it (pun unintended) to one of her many rivals?

Le sigh...

Guuurl, you know he has better pictures. If you don't load those sweaty hot pictures of when he encountered Craig in the square. 😜 Don't you throw RSW on B&B? 😜 Good seeing your post though.

8-10 I'm sorry, but pregnancy body where? JMW in her lingerie looked hot AF. But the love reunion between Finn and Steffy was hot. And then cross-referenced a little bit with Liam and Hope getting some sexy time in was just the cherry on top for shirtless men this week. I have definitely liked having Steffy away from Liam and Hope but darn it if this whole Finn and Steffy storyline isn't turning me into a true blue fan of theirs. They have me yelling at the tv, tearing up at the tv, and swooning at the tv. So great work, sir and ma'am. Meanwhile...Brooke/Ridge/Taylor are so B plotting at the moment and I don't mind that right now at all. Let that secret (the Ridge/Taylor kiss) build a little. So far...only them (and Steffy) know. But she's not talking. Though it is a little bit hypocritical of Steffy given didn't Sheila manipulate them into being together and she didn't keep quiet then. I can't wait to see what happens though. Where do they go on with Li? I want to know. And I loved her saying she's not a bit sorry about not telling them Finn was alive. The potential for drama is there.

Hahahahahaha!!!! Same. I'm two episodes behind (probably watching with me wine tonight) and still feel the same. And I agree with @NothinButAttitude. The potential with this group IS there. So I would say...hating Marlo or not...bring them all back. And add in 1 new housewife and 1 returning housewife. It seems like that returning one will probably be Porsha...which would work. But I wouldn't mind Eva and Lisa Wu joining as well.

HAHA No lies told there. Wow. Niiice.

They stuck the landing. Let me collect my thoughts because that finale was brutal, crazy, beautiful, and felt FINAL.

RHoDubai A complete and total kiki. I admit that I was not sure what to expect from the ladies going on a cast trip cuz...DUBAI. lol. However, I thought that was another great easy, breezy episode. The girls have really come into their own as a friend group, and I found that that blossomed here. There was banter. There was fun. There was drama, but it was slight. And there were real moments. I was worried that Brooks being that one person who has to say something negative about everything would upend the trip, but thankfully that evaporated due to the fun vibes the only girls had. Now that last dinner...yeeeah Team Caroline. Sorry, Ayan. It was clear that it was a case of language barrier, and Ayan did not understand fully what Caroline was trying to say. It was a genuine comment and not an attempt to shade or belittle her accolades. Same with Sara's comments on Brooks and her ex-husband going into business together. Ayan completely overreacted. I hope next week it becomes clear to her though. CAROLINE. Continued into her own this week. It was interesting to see that away from her toy boy husband that she was tons of fun. And it was nice to see she had one good outfit at least. And I hollered at everyone shading her and Nina for coming to dinner in PJs...moreso because Nina very quickly ran and changed clothes. AYAN. She was ssooooo much fun this episode. Until the end that is. Before that she was fun for singing silly (I do that), giving looks (cuz that dinner dress was EVERYTHING), and barely paid Brooks's jealous need to be messy any mind. LESA. WOW. The story of how she found the person who killed her brother/cousin was CHILLING. I truly do believe that there is a spiritual world. I also believe that a spirit not at rest will haunt the grounds they walked until their affairs are settled. For her to even open up so much to these ladies over something like that (it almost destroyed her marriage) was major. And she continues the tradition so far on this show on just as you think someone is not showing enough about themselves...another layer. I had tears listening to her story. Those things HAPPENED. I also was so happy that she gave looks this episode as well. There was one she had that was a showstopper. And I just love her in braids period. It just embraces her culture so much and how can you not like that. NINA. I still giggled at her changing clothes cuz Ayan and the girls came for her. lol. That said...I enjoyed how she was flaunting her wealth in a fun way to bring in that whole band full of hot men. Get it, Nina!!!! SARA. Of course, Sara would be the one that would get on the boards. LOL!!! That said...there she goes again!!! I loved that her and Brooks came to an understanding earlier in the episode. But Sara appeared to be putting her foot in her mouth again with Brooks. Stop while you are ahead. BROOKS. Hmmmm it was a good question. Is Brooks jealous of Ayan/Lesa? Most people seem to want them as a trio online and I like them together. And goodness knows Brooks/Ayan have an interesting dynamic...almost as interesting as Caroline/Ayan. Brooks did come across as jealous to me. She was being a bitter betty for the most part at the beginning of the trip. I was glad she got over it. But interesting that the girls were questioning her about the business with the Ex. And it seem like she was taking it the wrong way. Le sigh. But she clearly did not want to talk about it so they should have let it be. Good start to the trip.
