The fact this has been going on now for the last 20 years really puts a dark cloud and shadow over a show that’s been already troubled for the last 20 years. 8/11 marks 20 years since JER 2.0 began with start of the Salem Stalker.

Oy. That reminds me: I've been wasting the last 20 years of my life

Ozempic a RH fad right now, just like the dental-work and that sucked-in-cheekbones look were. I hope nobody harms themselves with this one, though.

Brynn is going to annoy me soon, and the 'sexy come-on' quips could eventually end in a harassment suit, but right now I'm intrigued to know more about her. I feel like we haven't seen anything about her!

Side note: Ugh, the dental work / sucked-in cheekbones thing always weirds me out, especially when it's a younger woman in Hollywood who suddenly looks like a different person because the bottom half of their face looks so different, i.e. Sophia Bush, Shelley Henning (ex-Stephanie, DAYS).  I could be wrong; maybe they just lost weight in their faces as they got older. It just seems off to me. 

I haven't seen NuRHONY episode 3, but I enjoyed the second episode without Brynn, that's for sure. From the one episode I saw of her plus the cast's appearance on WWHL, she was already doing too much; similar to Jen Shah's premiere episode on SLC. 

Re: RHUGT RHONY Premiere:  I'm SO glad we get this one earlier!  Glad they're feeding into the buzz.  Until I saw that last line about Morocco, I thought they might be scrapping the Caroline/Brandi season altogether...

About nuRHONY's Erin...She donated 4 times to the Winred election result denial campaign and now that it's been exposed, she's trying to backpedal. 

 

Hmmm... Ramona 2.0.  Hard side eye on this one now....

Finn with Jack

Mary with James

Ryder & Daisy with Tom

and Diana supposedly with Massimo

Finn, according to his "death certificate" is the oldest, born Feb. of 89, Mary was born in I think 1992

Thanks. I didn't think those zombie twins were hers.  I do remember that Mary was born in 1997 during the whole Sheila/James/Maggie love triangle era.

I agree that Shelia's current stay is up. She's a character that you can bring in for arcs to stir up some trouble, but she's hard to maintain in the long run. (Although, I guess DAYS turned a serial killer into a hero...which I never once bought.) I would send her packing at this point and bring her back later.

A fresher take would be to bring back the child of Shelia and Mossimo...Ridge's sister, Steffy's aunt, and Finn's sister! Have her show up...not revealing her identity...gets the job as Finn and Steffy's nanny and focuses on getting the two to break up so her mom, Shelia, can return and take a rightful place in Finn's life.

I can't even remember all the kids she has and who their daddies are. There was Mary with James, who got majorly SORASed to be with Rick in like 2002.  Did she have twins on Y&R or was that her sister Sarah Smythe who had plastic surgery to look like Lauren? I suppose that whole double plastic surgery ordeal on Y&R is not canon.

This confirms the season is a bust for me. Looking at the seating chart and can't think of anyone standing out this season to deserve first seat! Kandi would've been my choice since she seems to have the most drama so far.

Agreed. I looked at it and I'm like, "Oh. Okay then..." I mean, Sheree gets the first seat? But then you look at the rest (minus Kandi who excels no matter where) and it's like :::shrug::: okay sure. 

I haven't watched the finale, but I'd just like to go on record and say I was hoping for Jessica Wild to win

Well look at that… a marriage imploding and a secret lesbian lover will put you in the first seat.

You're right. This would make a great tell all memoir! If you've got to live through a horrid experience, get a good story out of it.

RHOA:

Nene and Carlos King sat down for a chin-wag. Here is Part 1:

 

I listed to the podcast. I'm glad she's at a place where she can speak frankly on the subject instead of being heated or bitter. I agree with her that the first few seasons were *real*, as in the cameras followed them around in their real life, as opposed to creating storylines for themselves and performing for the cameras. Without specifically naming Kenya, she said things started to change in Season 5 when Kenya and Porsha joined and that's when people started doing things just for the show, like bringing on fake boyfriends. And since then, we've seen castmembers (she pinpoints Atlanta, but we've seen it on all of them) getting random dudes to agree to film a scene of them going out on a date just for the show. 

Also interesting that Bravo had Porsha on the chopping block after her first year, but Nene and Kandi went to bat for her and convinced Bravo to give her another year. Makes sense for Nene to feel burned when Porsha later turns on her. 

Also interesting/disappointing to hear Cynthia was pushing for Nene to get axed from the show at one point. 

Next week, they dive into the Bravo/Andy lawsuit... I'll be listening!

My earliest memories are from Aremid. John and Marlena at Midnight Mass, Hope in the avalanche and her hand coming up out of the snow, etc. 

Ah, late '95/early '96. The good ol' DAYS...

I'm amazed he still had his own dressing room and that they hadn't chucked him out 2 years ago...

He didn't. Last I heard/saw, he shared with Christian LeBlanc. Most of the cast were doubled up in dressing rooms, save for a few (Braeden, Melody) 

It says hair trim, not buzz cut, so it could be anyone. Could be Cameron Johnson (Theo) for instance.

At last count, about nine actresses were fired this year.

"Fired" or "let go"....

Mess. Mess. Mess.

With DAYS' taping schedule, I can never keep up with the revolving door. I assume Linsey Godfrey is one of them. 

The one actress being told to perform a love scene by remembering how it used to be when she was young and vibrant... I want to say Arianne Zuker, but really, who knows? It could be so many getting picked on.

Is JKJ not available especially for the Victor tribute? Hopefully they still use old flashbacks regardless of who is playing Philip.

I hope so too. If they can flash back to Jensen Ackles as Eric, anything's possible now. 

I've met all the daytime divas that I'd like to meet (Deidre, Zimmer, Flannery, KKL, Jeanne Cooper, etc.) except for one.... La Lucci.  Wouldn't faint, but I'd gush.

Yeah, they could really use a bar a la the Cheatin' Heart or a café like Java Cafe or Dot Com (but, uh, update the name either way). I'm glad they're using the Bistro a little more, but a fine-dining type of place has been missing for a long time, too. Everyone's always slurping down chowder at the Pub or eating at that one table in the Town Square.

I'm a few days late to the discussion, but I was always under the assumption that the Brady Pub was very close to the pier. So close that sometimes you would even hear that random bell chime outside the pub that you would also hear as background noise on the pier. 

Is the Brady Pub supposed to be on the same lot where the Fish Market was? 

Meanwhile, the Cheatin' Heart used to be in the sleazy part of town, but in the last 15 years of its constant turnover in restaurants (A coffee shop, Club TBD, Julie's newest restaurant that looks like a breakfast joint for seniors), the area seems to have been gentrified.

I listened to the whole thing, and boy does it give my OG RHONY nostalgia of the first 4 years. 

One major takeaway which I'm inclined to believe is true due to both their reactions:  Bravo did both of them dirty when it comes to filming outside of Bobby's funeral.  Jill didn't know Bethenny was mic'ed, nor that the people filming outside were from Bravo (she thought it was TMZ, press etc. as TMZ was in fact there). Bethenny thought Jill knew beforehand. Jill didn't know about anything until she saw the commercial for that season of RHONY and saw a clip of her. She never signed a release form from Bravo and Bravo took their chances that she wouldn't sue.  

When they discussed this, you could tell Bethenny was taken aback when it clicked that Bravo set her up and felt it was disgusting to know she had "ambushed" (her word, fittingly) a funeral.

I also have thought the flashbacks and reasons why we didn’t actually see cheesegate was because they had to scrap a ton of stuff in the beginning when they had the other housewife before she quit. They had to do some serious reconstructing for the beginning. 

I forgot all about that; who she was and what she did/said to get herself kicked off.

I really wanted to like the new show but if your first outing for all of us to see is an episode about cheese, I was flabbergasted.

It could be worse. Wasn't Dallas' premiere episode about plastic poop? 

Re: @DaytimeFan ATL... I agree the cast doesn't gel as they used to and the newbies aren't enough to usher in the next successful era. I could see Bravo seriously considering doing a total reboot of Atlanta, but at the same time I think they would hate to cut ties with Kandi and possibly Kenya.

@Gray Bunny I just checked. That good looking gentleman might be the same guy that was at the pride party lol  

I always remember the pretty ones 

Catching up, just started July… 

I’m pretty darn sure the good looking gentleman on the left was partying it up with Paul and papa John at last year’s San Francisco pride party on Beyond Salem 2. The extras in theses scene were cracking me up. 
 

I now understand why Steve Burton always wore black T-shirts on GH — to conceal his pit sweat. A lil Botox will help with that; you can siphon some out from Galen Gering’s forehead.
