It does suck and Fox News knew if those hogs took the stand and if there were weeks long debates, with text messages, emails, phone calls, etc. deliberated, it would've exposed the public to all their deplorable actions and deliberate lying, and it would chip away at their viewer base their viewers' faith in them. And to top it off, they don't even have to issue an on-air admission of guilt.

I'm sure if Eileen signed a long-term contract, they'd drop Stacy like a hot potato. (with an occasional pop-up, like the two Becky's on Roseanne, cuz campy wink-wink nudges to the audience is what Ron loves)

Alright folks and my fellow Housewives fans, I'm finally ready to dive into this show. LOL. Do I start at Season 1 and binge or does it start off slowly?

Ditto. As I just wrote in another thread, if it's not Eileen making a pop-up visit (since it seems we'll never get her again long-term), then don't bother anymore. Jamey & Ron's writing is exactly what I'd expect: two older gay men who are out of touch with the younger generation, and so their puns, one-liners, and stereotypes are 20 years outdated. It's like they're two heterosexual males from 2003 writing a Queer As Folk fan fiction. I just hope they're not still trying to squeeze into their old circuit gear.

There are so many here (myself included) who appreciate your work, your efforts, and your commitment to keeping this online soap community going.

Reading your sense of humor... it's like "looking" in a mirror. lol. I haven't gotten to the Talia twist yet, but I like the actress. I like the actress who plays Jada too. The writers' efforts to let us get to know new characters are severely lacking, but these two have that certain spark and are capable actresses; certainly stronger than the hair model/Onlyfans performer playing Sloane.

In all honesty IMO, anything Kristen related with Haiduk in the role falls flat. The character is just too manic and played out with her in the role as a mostly laughable villainess. If they can't get Eileen, even as only temporary guest spots, keep her off-screen permanently.

Lumberjack Johnny might be a kink for him.

Absolutely. What a total waste of a castmember. Has she even appeared on WWHL or done much press for this UGT? If she was traumatized by the RHONY S13 fan reaction to her, she'll be catatonic after this.

Hey, a check's a check. Even if it's scale at this point

Some days, this show is like a parody of a soap opera. Thank goodness soaps no longer have any relevancy in pop culture or else they'd be crucified on the late show circuit.

Agreed. Let Brooke be a ho again, but a classy MILF/GILF ho who doesn't want to settle down again. Eventually the wagon will circle back to tired ol' Ridge, but let her enjoy her last good years.

I saw that over the weekend.... I hope it comes to fruition! I think it's a great idea actually. I just knew we weren't done with this group of gals forever. Too bad for Jill, huh? lol Oh well. And love her or hate her, Ramona makes for great reality TV. I wonder if she'll jump back into the shark tank for a one-week adventure.

I like to refer to it as the restaurant where Jennifer fell out the window. Yes, yes, yes. Their Salem stuff (as opposed to Beyond) is weak sauce. There really is no viable couple to root for. And please, let's just cut our losses with Stefan. The only thing interesting about him is Vivian and she's not here.

Exactly. That's how I felt when Chloe casually pointed out to Xander how he once left her in Mexico with a drug lord (or something of that nature, I can't recall the specifics of that story), yet she's able to sweep that under the rug present-day. I'm sorry, but if someone did that to me, I'd have just a bit of a life-long grudge against them.

B&B: Brooke and Liam. Brooke and Carter.

I basically love everything he does.... 😍

And just because I’m in a nitpicky mood… they need to stick to using just one text chyron color and font. First it’s yellow italicized and a hybrid of Bold & Beautiful / Baywatch font, next it’s white and Times New Roman. Consistency is key when giving us location stamps at the onset of a scene. Just sayin’

At the risk of sounding ignorant, do you think Covid/vaccine chatter is still going to be “a thing” come the 2024 campaign trail days?

Pacing… I think the pacing is too fast for a lot of stories and that’s because the cast is so huge, they tell stories in chunks on rotation, and the stories themselves lack substance without character growth, development, or reaction/trauma to the events of their lives. So it’s cranked out quick and on to the next “wow/shock/aw”. Side note: is Jan Spears dead? By comparison, to think in the mid 90’s, you basically had only 3 main stories (John/Marlena/Kristen, Bo/Hope/Billie, Carrie/Austin/Sami) and 2 supporting (Jack/Jenn/Peter, Kate/Victor/Vivian) where the major climax to a story took place only once a year. On an unrelated note: I was surprised Kristen mentioned Rachel took an Uber to see her, instead of the usual generic soapy dialogue of “using a rideshare app.” Must be a sponsor

Satchels of gold...

Happy to be one of her voters. And I got my hubby to vote too, and he's hardheaded when it comes to voting.

I haven't caught up on a Y&R thread in quite some time, but have we addressed the middle aged spread that seems to have come over Sharon Case's nose in recent times? It's strange to see such a change, especially watching the 50th Anniversary special and seeing flashbacks vs. present day.

I think Stormy Daniels has done better work than her.
