I will say, I'll miss the gossip table that Mona, Leslie and Jan had.

Ugh, freaking Febreeze - we gotta stop this during emotional moments.

Not Mona calling Eva a backstabbing heifer hahaha!🤣

Ohhh Anita is going to tear him a new one. "Theodore". 😂

Might be a dumb question, but how long is a season? Is that another full year after Season 1 ends? And how long is Season 1?

Amazing news to hear!!! Congrats BTG New episode starting now.... get him, Dani!

Haha love a little drunk posting

I’m up to April 01, 1996. I think I’m starting to understand what many have said.. things are different. I miss the community vibe of Springfield, when you had people working at the hectic newspaper, the choatic diner, the rich were coming in for coffee, or the TV network was abuzz about the latest scandal. Things have become a little more tunneled into their own storylines. Right now, for me anyway, there isn’t a strong desire to see what happens next, ever since the Brent/Marian story ended. It was a darker, more suspenseful storyline that really got me intrigued and waiting to see what happens next, while everything else was just a nice view of midwestern families living their dramatic lives. And I love that too, when the characters and storytelling is strong, but right now, some things are a little stale. In these last 5 weeks, we had two bigger events: Nick and Susan’s wedding: it was sweet, but I really found it weird they played music over their vows instead of being able to hear them. Then, they leave town immediately after and for good? We really didn’t get a ton of time with them - one minute Susan is in a hospital bed, post-coma, celebrating the new year, and now she’s married and gone. I’m having a hard time with the revolving door of characters since my early ’95 watch. This year we’ve lost so many characters, gained so many characters, and to what end? Henry’s funeral: this was so sad, considering the real actor passed. I’m curious what other fans thought about the funeral. Granted, when an actor passes, you don’t have much time to plan ahead, so you need to insert it into whatever storylines are happening at the time. But sadly, this funeral happened when everyone was hating each other. Vanessa was upset with Matt because the Amanda secret came out and he kept it from her. Quint showed up, with his very young affair no less, which made both Nola and J upset. Amanda was there which upset both Blake and Ross. Roger insisted he give a speech which upset everyone. Vanessa was mad at Quint for bringing his young girlfriend, and then Dinah was so upset about her grandfather, which was emotional, but everyone is currently at odds with Dinah. The flashbacks were effective, and the most emotional scene was Vanessa’s breakdown when reading Henry’s letter to her. Otherwise, it was a pretty hateful funeral, which felt icky. Otherwise, my quick pros and cons currently happening… Pros: Alex and Hawk are great and funny. He gets under her skin and it’s hilarious to watch her react, but she needs him. They were in LA trying to get dirt on Amanda’s former life and Hawk was living it up with young gorgeous women and all the spending money at his disposal. Generally, the Amanda and her secret storyline is interesting and I really like the actress. Alex vs. Amanda is entertaining. Tina came onto the scene around the time Nadine died, but she’s been given a backstory which is interesting to me now. She’s a prostitute, who means well, and is trying to take care of her daughter, Dahlia. She grew up with Frank, who has a soft spot for her. Marcus, in a new storyline he desperately needed away from Dinah and his dad, has taken a strong liking to Dahlia. She sings well and he plays saxophone well, so their music is endearing. Sadly, Tina got involved in a robbery gone-bad, where they held up a Spaulding board of directors meeting. She flees, but Frank catches her outside and is forced to arrest her, while Cleary (she’s back!) arrests the main bad guy involved and saves the Spaulding family. I’m curious to see where this one goes, but curious, was Tina actually on the show before this or is she a brand new character? Cons: The Dinah/Hart/Roger storyline is pretty stale now. I need something new. Lucy and Alan-Michael are barely on since Brent left, which is sad. You spend an entire year on a storyline that builds their relationship, brings strife and wedges, and now that they’re finally able to be together in love with no obstacles, you never show them? I want to see them happy! Oh and Lucy and Bridget/David haven't had a scene since Marian tried to get 'a room at the boarding house, which is weird because we haven't seen Bridget react to Lucy being alive. I don't even know if Lucy even lives at the boarding house or with AM, but it's sad pretending like Lucy/Bridget/David were never close friends. Reva/Josh, which is hogging airtime, is a serious whiplash. One week Josh loves her, she hates him; the next week, she loves him, he hates her. He’s always lying to Annie, but now he’s marrying her again, the second wedding in 4 months. I’m also very tired of Marah, her angst over everything, and their overwhelming concern over her. As much as I don’t like Buzz, it is funny watching Reva work at the diner, but I’ll never side with Alan so watching him have feelings about Reva/Buzz or Reva/Josh does nothing for me. Finally, the other small B storylines are only on like once a week which isn’t enough: Gilly/Griffin/Viviane, Michelle/J, Blake/Ross/Rick, Rick/Abby, Holly/Fletcher and the baby. Something that just popped up out of the blue is David Grant leaving Springfield out of nowhere. He professed his love to Bridget, who turned him down, so he decides to leave when Griffin gives him a job opportunity. Sadly, another character written out for many new characters being introduced. Makes me wonder who is making these calls - the producers, the network, the writers, the fans?

^I agree with you both. Porsha showed her a$$ tonight. She brought out Ralph on purpose, just to get back at Drew, and it was so hypocritical. Angela is the best. I wish we had her seasons ago with Sheree, Kenya, Kandi, and even Nene. Brit, of course sucks, but she and her husband both chew their food with their mouths open and it was disgusting. I like Kelli, but we don't see her that much, we need more of her right now.

Now this would be a great twist - I'm down for it! I much prefer there to be a bigger reason for June than just a PBS special-style storyline for Naomi that goes nowhere (like the sexual harassment lawsuit in March).

Ohh - those previews! I can't believe Leslie - what a mean mother. I still love the character, but she's now just a full-fledged villain at this point haha.

Ohh, Kat is mad! She's going to tear into Thomas for that. There's Vanessa, finally, showing up for her friend. Ohhhh Dani is going to rip Ted a new one - this I can't wait to see haha. Not Leslie showing up at Nicole's house - omg! Ugh, can't wait for Monday!!!

Andy Cohen said The Real Housewives of Rhode Island will give RHONJ a run for its money. Makes me wonder if there is a family and/or violent vibe to this series! I'm here for the family/close connections. Also, doesn't look like we'll be seeing NYC in a long, long time: https://pagesix.com/2025/05/09/entertainment/bravo-flagship-rhony-going-off-the-air-network-hopes-to-revive-it/

100% agree with this. He needs some introspection. That was quite an abrupt cut to commercial! Curious to see what Smitty says to Bill.

And then Ashley and Derek did too, so that balances it back down for you, I'm sure hahaha.

I've gotta say, I know Bill is a dog, but I secretly like him. The actor is good, and the character is strong, powerful, but flexible.

Naomi looks good today! Glad to see Dani have a scene with Bill and not be conflicted about any lingering feelings about him.

LOL - love this!

Natalia Cigliuti (ex-Anita Santos, AMC) and Jonathan Bennett (ex-JR Chandler, AMC) were both on tonight's Dr. Odyssey. It is a 2-part episode, so presumably they'll both be on next week's episode.

This crap will not age well when we look back. There's one thing to be subtle, but you're taking any emotion out of the storyline and scene when you have a broken character picking up a Febreeze can and reminiscing about it like it meant something. They gotta get better at this.

Ugh - on now for me too, but I don't want to watch since I missed the first 18 minutes. Now I'll just watch tonight on Paramount.

Ohhh - I didn't realize that's how it worked. So if it's fully pre-empted, they just air next day, good to know!

LOL! Yeah, I'm annoyed, but I'll just watch on Paramount Plus later, I guess.

Ohhh this is great tea - thanks for posting! I knew Drew had some stuff in there she didn't want out. I'd love to know how much she's making off RHOA.

Hahaha are you doing a '93 rewatch?? Wow - so Reva was married to the father and his two sons. I guess I can't be surprised with GL and the citizens of SF. I'm currently watching Dinah and Blake, who are both each other's stepmothers AND stepdaughters... you have Alan-Michael who date Dinah, married Blake, and then married both sisters Harley and Lucy... I could go on and go. Someone, maybe you, told me very early on that GL is very incestuous and I 100% see it now haha.
