OMG!!! DEAD.

RHoDubai The intro!!! Yeeeeah, Chanel won!!! I saw the video earlier...and yes, loved it, too. Enjoy the video.

And before Hilary, this was the same thing with bringing Dru back as well. That is clear. What is funny and also sad...thanks to Diane coming back from the dead...it is now totally possible to bring Hilary back...something that was a rarity on this show. But...the times they are a-changing.

RHoDubai TAGLINES!!!

Thank you!!! When Hilary was introduced, she appeared meek, but there was a hint of maybe being cunning. And then that blogger storyline was going down as well. She played total vixen. When Imani was introduced, she was anything but meek. She and MM had fire from GO and she had an intriguing edge that you wanted to know why she was that way. And you wanted to know the mystery of why she was so hard on Amanda and why she said this had happened before. Oh? Howso? And then she had her own money, too? She did not back down to Amanda at all. And she was upfront versus Hilary sneaking around at first. I was sorry that they appeared to turn Imani into some Pollyanna since her introduction story so I'm VERY happy they are letting her come out to play. Hardly a copy. This, too. Her vibe when she was introduced just felt ripe for being in other parts of the canvas as well.

Yeah that scene at the gallery was full of marvelous tension and they all played that so well. And hehe at 'that guy.' Shades of every time Brenda would say 'that girl/woman' rather than use Carly's name when Brenda visits. If Spencer admits his feelings, I would be shocked that it is not Ava he says it, too actually. She might even be the person that gets him to face it. LOVE Trina being the center of the triangle. I do like that they introduced Rory oh so slowly though. And I know we all discussed him them introducing a love interest for her a while ago, but I feel the timing was perfect in the end, especially due to how slowly he was introduced. I also in my viewing right now am ready for them to pick up the pace. Yeah, I almost rolled my eyes when I saw Chase/Brook Lynn were about to talk about their feelings and her producer showed up. Can they not get a minute to talk about their feelings? lol.

HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree as well that I would like to see where things are going. I see the actor and TA have great chemistry and I like the chemistry TA has with AC as well. So the potential for a triangle is there. And I feel like you feel that it might be a case that right when Spencer gets the good on Esme (and she falls into Cameron's arms to po Joss) that he will find himself on the outs because Rory and Trina will have become a couple. Moreso to keep the star-crossed drama going between Spencer and Trina that has been there since SM. We know I ain't heavy on them spoilers. But I hope he don't go cray cray. He has a lot of potential so far and the writers do seem like they have gone through a lot to develop him a little bit. For now...at least, I can put some of that BTS drama off. Yeah. I don't know what happened to him, but ewww. It got to the point one could not unsee and it felt like Jax the character was just IR being himself. I was hoping that all that buildup to Carly running the mob with Jax lecturing her was leading to him being the target to a mob hit from the Novaks...probably at Carly and Jason's wedding. But alas...

Seeing some of those past Lily/Sonny/Brenda clips, Lily definitely was no saint and stronger than I gave her credit for seeing her through older eyes. But those youth memories...are boss.

That is how I feel as well. I just worry that going forward (and yes, I do own my behind-ness) that it will color how the character seems given what the actor posted. Just look at IR and Jax. GH has problematic actors and actress that have managed to be their character and it does not color my perspective...lord that IR mess though. But...hope springs.

She really does. HA!!! No comment.

OMG Yes!!! I've been enjoying his think pieces an awful lot and this might easily be my favorite. I think you know I was not really planning on watching, but his piece is really making me see it through a different lenses and I am finding the power plays fascinating because I really do think it's true. Remember when Garcelle gave an interview and said that she told Production that she wanted to sit down with Kyle and Ex Soap Opera Star to discuss the Denise fallout at the start of Season 11? And they AGREED. A year later, she's at Upfronts. Oooo...the power. So her and Kyle there really says so much. They can stay pressed. They should be scared. I feel like that promo was an editing trick and that one of those scenes Crystal was calling out Kyle, not Sutton, but we will see. Hehe. I caught myself humming it at work last night. It really has caught on, hasn't it?

Happy Clink-Boom Day to you!!! I knew you would see it instantly. Oooo that shade at Lily. hehe...

WOW. Real life strikes again... HAHA

5-23 I hate to admit it, but I don't feel completely bored. Yes, Diane's return (and everyone's reactions to that) is THE story. But I have found that even when she's not on, there appears to be some traction being gained even when she's not on. I loved the Esther's episodes with flashbacks. Though...it should have been a whole episode. Sharon and Nick circling each other again. Uh...okay. Not sure how I feel about Noah and Allie, but I didn't dislike them. And I am all for Michael and Lauren getting a story if it brings out the feisty Lauren telling Ashland off.

5-23 Yes, even knowing what was coming...I still gasped. Finn had too much potential to be killed off the way that he was. And having alive again makes it just that much more messy. And his reintroduction with music, great camera angles, and all was pretty good. To the person here who mentioned Li was a doctor...take those flowers. And I take it that Bridget will be roped into this. So cool. So look at B&B. You have this. There's that story of Donna/Eric/Quinn/Carter building. Ridge stuck between Brooke and Taylor AGAIN...wow. Who knew so much would be going on.

What will happen next? Discuss!!!

Go on, Girl!!! Make that move!!! DISCUSS!!!!

BH Ooops. Not the husband!!!

That first picture has Kandi's song stuck in my head. 😜 Mmmm...hairy legs...

Same.

Oooooooo... . FINALLY!!!

RHoDubai Oh, Milan... AND...Cute...I love when they do this...

Well it's supposed to start next week. Fingres crossed. She is such a great actress and I loved her at the start of Amanda's digging into her past story.

BH Same, ladies, same. For me, it was how noticable the shift was. Did you notice the shift as well? When one Supreme fades, another one rises. There's a lovely Twitter thread that I read last night that I'll be linked because it's sooooo good. And that Supreme...is Garcelle. Three years ago, she joined this group. And her first season, she did her own thing and sat back and observed. Year Two found her having to deal with the jealousy the ladies felt at her for becoming popular, but still forming natural connections. She got in some drama, but for the most she made moves. She studied. THIS YEAR, she has slowly been revealing...she not only appears to have been playing chess between than Kyle does, but she's been playing it WELL. One thing she's been called out for last year was that she did not have Sutton as often as Sutton had her. Lesson learned. Because she's had Sutton's back every chance she's gotten. It is very clear that the target this season is Sutton. And Garcelle...has protected her 'Queen.' I honestly felt she told Sutton to bring receipts off camera to Harry's party. She stepped in when Sutton might have backed down, with her authenticity weaponized to prove the receipts are real. She also subtly checked EricFake at the same dinner. This week, she not only would not play a game of talking behind Sutton's back...but she pulled a Kyle and BROUGHT BACK UP they talked behind her back. And it was flawlessly done. And Kyle was PIIIIII$$$EEED. A player who is better at 'producing' than Producer Kyle? Uh oh... Producer Kyle has definitely been out. Targeting Sutton and using Dorit's drama to do. That Garcelle (and Sutton) clock her every chance they get. What will Kyle's next move be? Because after years of hiding her hand to get drama done, a new player is taking from her playback, doing it better, and OUT in the open. In order to best her, will Kyle FINALLY have to reveal her hand? Oh, the possibilities. Also interesting...Garcelle said last year...this group was becoming like a tale of two groups. And we are finally starting to see the cracks on that with what happened with Crystal. Yes, this group does make people feel lesser than. And while I was not on her side with the whole Sutton, yes, Crystal does have a right to her opinion and it should not be dismissed just because she's not a 'Core Four.' Especially when she's good friends with Teddi another Core member. And I love Crystal is not down for saying her opinion and clear English and they want to act like they don't understand her. Note...Garcelle got her to stay to keep the scene going...hmmmm. I cannot believe that I'm saying this...but I was really interested in all the chess moves this week. KYLE. Garcelle is making her work for that diamond, ain't she? I don't think she's been this engaged since the days of LVP. This episode she was really trying to weaponize Dorit's robbery and aim it at Sutton. And that was just in poor taste I felt whether she had Dorit's permission or not. And Diana wants to talk about classless. Smh. I did love how she was checked at every turn. Bring it up to the group. Having it at her opening with Teddi her doppleganger. Sutton calling it out at Kyle's opening. And then the sit-down. You know she's mad when she yells...and fails. And here she goes again trying to drive a wedge between Crystal, Sutton, and Garcelle. I cannot wait for Garcelle's counter move. Make that 'Queen' WERK. DORIT. I continue to have such mixed feelings about her. So I feel given how she's acting (and the timing of when it happened) that it might have been staged, but her feelings are real. Simply because she did not know. *side-eyes PK* Just...convenient. I feel Dorit is giving real traumatized woman. And even Garcelle made that observation that Old Dorit would be taking forever to get ready and give outfit, outfit, outfit. I liked how dressed down she was...but not at all the Dorit we know. Not to say she was not there. Look at her yelling at Crystal. She could get a pass. This time cuz...trauma. But STILL she was proving Crystal's point. EX SOAP OPERA STAR. I will give her this much. She was not wrong about how this should be about Dorit's pain and how she's feeling. Now she needs to tell her Coven members to stop making it a storyline. ERICFAKE. Search for a moment just like Teddi someone else I know. Like an apology, you ain't getting one. DIANA. SUTTON. Continues to be the target star of the show. I loved how she handled herself. I loved her growing friendship with Crystal. A long, long way from Ugly Leather Pants. And she showed total class in giving a sincere apology to Dorit (in front of Kyle) as well in how she was able to articulate how she was feeling. And I stay loving her giving EricFake dust. CRYSTAL. Well...she wasn't wrong. This Coven has always been this way. And it was about time someone said so. Using last season might not have been the right move, but it definitely got the point across. And it was nice to see her unleash on that Coven. GARCELLE. Hmmm...from 'boring' to fascinating once you see how moving like chess. Perhaps her and Kyle are more alike than one would think...bringing up the time Kathy got them mixed up. But that said, I feel Garcelle comes from a good place with how she does her pot stirring and how she will at least keep her friends accountable as well. I am now curious to see how Sheree will factor into this to get a full picture if Producer Garcelle is more cunning than Producer Kyle. She's always held my interest, but it's been fascinating seeing Garcelle beat the Coven at their own game...and giving so much great fashion while she does it. I believe I said during the first part of the reunion that I wouldn't be surprised if Garcelle came in this season with an agenda and it might be the takedown I've been hoping for. Right now...I can't help, but think...What will she do next? Actually looking forward to next week to see how Teddi chess pieces get moved. And the thread I was talking about... I say...SHIFT.
