The CW Will Air HBO Max's Gossip Girl Reboot Premiere (adweek.com) And the reviews are IN!!! I would say avoid the VULTURE review for sure unless you want to be spoiled on who the new GG allegedly is. So far being torn apart I heard, but I haven't read any yet (and I read EW reviews and AV Club reviews first anyway). Still watching.

You hear @ChitHappens?

6-30 OMG!!!! The menace. Now THAT is how you set up a story beat. I'm not feeling the next turn in this Carly/Jason/Britt storyline. I get it. But I don't like it. HOWEVER, seeing the Novaks make their moves HEIGHTENS the tension and drama. The traitor. The bombing a few episodes back. And now Joey Novak ambushing Spinelli (is he recurring?) and the menace in that scene. And THEN Jason and Britt walking in. In that moment...you just know Jason is going to have to do what he has to do to protect the people he care about. Ava/Austin...hmmmm...shades of Franco/Ava scenes together. And...shut up, Sam. I forgot Michael and Joss are brother and sister. The lack of scenes are very telling. Valentin and Anna...inevitable since Feburary, but it feels weird seeing it. More Lucy please. Loving Jason/Britt.

See? I thought about that, but then I thought that Production might simply try to edit her out before.

God I hope not re: Joe v Juicy 2.0. Yeah, you are right. I believe Melissa and Jackie are closer. Personally I am looking forever to Kandi's spinoff. Being in the industry...well adjacent now hehe...I live for restaurant shows...perhaps it will capture the old VPR spark. Yeah, they really and truly should have made Falynn a HW and started filming as soon as the mess with Porsha was going down. It's insane that they did not. The story wrote itself. But yeah, it is all to keep Porsha's rep pristine. And yeah on Simon. DEFINITE Brooks vibes.

YW. I believe that Jennifer has been filming regardless because as you and I know she doesn't need the group to have a story. But yeah, I think they a week or two of rest and then just like POTOMAC normally does after their reunions, they started filming again. I want to give Teresa's man the benefit of the doubt, but I do find myself side-eyeing how much he seems to be in pictures when I see him. Hanging with the girls. Hanging with Joey. etc. BTW, Evan and Joey are hanging around a lot too. hmmm. God, last season was a pretty great season. Perhaps because of that. That's why I am curious about RHOA. I don't know if you know but they got some of the POTOMAC production this year and one of the first things they decided to do apparently was lock those secrets down tight as well. Other than the rumored return of ShebySheree, I know nothing. We will see how it goes once filming starts. Meanwhile, I think the only people filming right now is Porsha and Kandi for their respective spinoffs.

Lol. NJ has been filming for a while now. They are doing a great job of keeping things hush hush, but...a bit of tea. If I'm not mistaken, they just recently filmed a group scene with Jennifer in attendance. Before that, it does seem like Coven Lite (Marge, Melissa, and Jackie) were having events and NOT having Jen there. Meanwhile, there is a new housewife (I posted a picture of her and her foine husband several pages back) and a new FOH as well.

Well...gonna stay relevant somehow.

Same. I was so happy to see Devon having his family back...especially since I was a regular watcher during the Ana days. So disappointed.

6-28 HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! GH is soooo wrong for starting the show with a hot, sweaty, angry, nice sweatpants wearing shirtless Nicholas (and YAAAAAY LUCY!!!!) and then don't show him for the next 20 (and counting) minutes. And was that spark I saw between Lucy and Nik, too?

I love that Jordana stays praising soaps. Awwwww. Be still my heart. I loved those two together.

HA

6-24 SHUT UP, CARLY!!!! LOL!!! I like that with the main stories (Cyrus, Peter) climaxing that the next leg in their stories (Is Cyrus gone? Peter's body) is going into B/C story backburner-ness. Why? Now that means that the C stories that have been B stories or in the background can come forward. For me that's been... THE STALKER. I loved that the airtime for it and how it has affected Nik and Ava has increased. Ava did a masterclass on pushing Nik away and I loved that...and her boots. Like others have said...over those blouses on Ava though. SHAWN AND ALEXIS. Finally, this leg of Alexis in jail has started to move with the reveal of the potentially shady judge. And now TJ and Molly are getting roped in more and more. That of course means that B stories can become A stories. And I'm not hating on that. I have been loving the soapy-ness of Chase/Michael/Willow right now. Just when Chase gets the cure, now he can't feel his legs. I was wondering how they would keep him and Willow married if he was cured, so...good call!!! And...so soapy!!!! Team Chase though. And of course there is the growing Jason/Britt relationship. Just saw the gym scenes and I was so swooning and wondering when did I start finding Jason hot again? lol. And I love they are giving Britt more layers since she always had personality. I am wondered the writers might try to take away her edges and make her Sam lite, BUT I hope not. Meanwhile, there's Carly being messy in it. And YAY!!!! to Monica back as the hopsital. Feels right. And since it was mentioned, I hope that means more Bobbie and Epiphany. And Terry while we are at it. But...where was Felix and Lucas at this hopsital meeting? And another Chief of Staff fight? I'm down. And...Sonny's story has totally turned into a C story. As has Club Savoy. Speaking of...Stella come back soon!!!! I liked her messing in the Jordan/Curtis/Portia/Taggert story. And just being there for TJ and Molly.

I totally agree. I was taken aback with the next week preview, too. I had to wonder as well when was the last time Ex Soap Opera Star had an event at her house. Color me shocked as well.

Well, I like they are playing the Kristen/EJ connection still.

Bad Boy Kyle was it. And I liked Blake Hood so that is high praise for me.

Yeeeeah this is not sitting well with me. I agree...what is going on over there?

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I enjoy dragging her, I have been upfront with saying at least Crystal is bringing drama. Petty feud though Crystal vs Sutton is, I will say that it is a good one. Why? Because neither one of them are in the right, and neither one is in the wrong. From 'are you that girl?' to Doorgate, it has evolved as it's gone along and been kept interesting. And while Doorgate is getting boring, new week clip's has shown that they are going on to the leather pants part of the feud and Sutton will be in the wrong again over her jealousy with Crystal getting along with Garcelle so I think it will freshen the two of them up.

Well tbf SOD and I feel like quite a few articles picked up on it and mentioned it. Yes, he should have never been declawed.

LONDON CALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a real shame they did not keep him as a bad boy really. He was great when Kyle was brought back and proved...like father, like son when it came to women and like his mother when it came to scheming. I like he was softened, but he should have never lost his edge. Wish him the best.

Same.

Well idle hands,..oh, wait!!!
