I thought Andy gave her a decent grilling on last night's WWHL. You could tell he was a tad ticked at Robyn withholding the truth about her own life while at the same time stirring up rumors and discussion about other castmembers' marriages. As he said, suspicions of infidelity seems to be a continuous throughline on this show. Meanwhile, Robyn still has that DUH expression on her face as she tries to twist her words to make Juan sound completely innocent with the woman from Canada. If/when she returns for S8, The Grande Dame and likely Candiace (and Wendy) will hold her feet to the fire. At least we can enjoy that. "UNLIKE her finances..." lol at that shady writeup for Mia at the end.

That was on the Salem Spectator website. Good grief, that is just awful. And no mention of age, tee-hee.

Well anyhow, with a 31 minutes run, or 34/35 as some are listed, I wonder what the game plan would've been had they aired on NBC as originally planned. Bulk it up with needless multi-minute flashbacks? Speaking of ending credits, I sure wish they would go back to their actual closing theme song instead of the cheeseball elevator stuff that is always used now. I don't care for the majority of their catalog of music currently as it is, but at least they used mostly good cues during the couple days Marlena was "dying."

Wow, I never noticed there was an episode(s) only 31 minutes long?

I particularly liked this point: (am I allowed to quote from another site?) So many stories or plot points these days are just the obstacle du jour. There is no fallout or repercussions or character analysis or growth. Stuff just happens and then they move on. The only aftermath they've shown recently was Bonnie's PTSD which was just for the purpose of outing Xander as the kidnapper. Now she's cool again; no more scary clowns haunting her. (P.S. Characters constantly making cracks about devil possession doesn't count)

“I need Andy and a camera…!”

Wow, I guess Peacock does allow more stimulating depictions of foreplay.

I think every former DAYS actor who's still alive is basically on recurring... except Maree Cheatham, who should've been recurring for the last 2 decades.

The irony of her tagline. Her truth couldn’t even make it to the reunion.

@j swift I don't think Candiace opened a can of worms by using Andy's common phrase. She didn't say anything provocative or controversial about her boss. Here I am defending Candiace again (a world gone mad!), but I actually like what she did. She's pissed that certain castmates that she otherwise defended are cherry-picking what can and can't be revealed, all the while deflecting by calling attention to other people's marriages. And I love that the roof is caving in and the truth is coming out (©Jason Derulo) on Robyn, the Terri DeMarco of Potomac. Bingo.

This wouldn't be the first time. Bradley seems to like jumping into a storyline several beats in to avoid writing the initial courtship. We never saw Eric & Quinn come together initially -- it was just a cliffhanger shock to find them in bed together. Didn't they do the same when Eric and Donna started boinking again? They did the same bedroom shocker some 10 years back when Taylor and Thorne got back together.

LOL there was that one long chunk of time where it seemed like Nadia was coming while Chloe was going and vise versa back 'n forth because Nadia was pregnant twice and DAYS tapes a half-year in advance (at least).

Count me in as an OG NYC fan. The OG cast is my all-time favorite and Season 3 will remain my all-time favorite season of any franchise. It's sad the Legacy idea is fizzling away, because there is still an appetite for the originals. Look at how excited & curious longtime Housewives fans are to finally see Alex McCord again. Plus, so many have wanted a full-time return of Jill. Plus, the curiosity over whether Dorinda can pull herself back together, and there's always good old tried and true LuAnn and Sonjarita. Seeing RHONY: Legacy fall apart really solidifies the idea that Housewives are modern day soap operas and we the audience like to see our longtime favorites come and go and return and... stay.

Ellen Wheeler and the gang at the time acted like Guiding Light was gonna cure cancer or some sh!t. That Wednesday "Find Your Light." Oy.... those final 5 years. (I too read the Zimmer book).

I liked the Lifesavers theme too. I kinda liked the visuals and definitely liked the music. Very majestic. 2003-2005 opening. Oy. Just awful. I always referred to this one as the "Knots Loving" opening; a cheap version of Knots' scrolling images, along with a direct ripoff of L-O-V-I-N-G as part of the music. Its one saving grace was that the melancholy background music version of it used in scenes was nice.

The older I get (and the more tired I feel), the more I appreciate guys of a certain age that are able to maintain such a fit body. Well done.

.... and in other related news, the infamous Blue Room will return to Salem, and it will now be redressed as hotel rooms, The Brady Pub, and the DiMera mansion.

I'm looking forward to New Jersey too. Ditto Orange County. Like, I'm really super curious about this next season of OC and it's normally not a Housewives show that I anticipate. Regarding the taglines, I thought they were mostly clunky and longwinded. And like you mentioned of Teresa's, the delivery of some of them are :::yawn::: I'll be just fine if they don't play the opening for the majority of the episodes as they seem to be doing nowadays. IMO, the best taglines spoken are Margaret and Jennifer. In other news: Potomac Reunion fashion: Ashley continues to impress...

I loved those wicked women Cynthia Watros was of course outstanding and phenomenal, but man did I love Wendy Moniz's ability to make Dinah soft and vulnerable one minute (when she was still sorta good with Hart) to bitter and calculated another. They were both so delicious to watch, but I really appreciated the layers Moniz gave to Dinah as she vacillated between good and bad between 1995-1999.

Hahaha... they're still not up to the level of Grande Dame / Ashley / Monique in my eyes, but I can appreciate what they contribute to the show

Another influencer whose body defies logic: Simeon Panda

Lauren always sounded congested the first 2 decades she was on.

His body is INSANE. Like, those biceps look like balloons!

Just imagine the trajectory of Bold & Beautiful and DAYS if Susan Seaforth Hayes had been cast as Stephanie Forrester, as she was close to becoming...

Potomac: Ashley is messy but smart overall when it comes the the Housewives game. She and the Grande Dame always have each other's backs nowadays. Plus, she's friends with the GEB's. She's in good with all the Season 1 vets, even the bump on a log. I was surprised Ashley made it out scot free with taking Karen's accusations about Juan and telling Robyn right away. Instead of Robyn blurting out that she heard it from Ashley, Karen went ahead and dropped the bomb all on her own at the table, and it was glorious, lol. And Bravo's sketch drawing of the other woman.... LOL MESS! I can't believe Wendy's finally growing on me. Her reactions to other people's bombshells are priceless. Plus, I think getting potentially iced out of the show humbled her (and thank GOD she dropped that Zen Wen bullcrap). Candiace has also redeemed herself in my eyes. Mia continues to be a trash person living a fake life with no redeeming qualities. [Side Note: Mia is exactly like my old friend "Diana" who found herself in a cult, mentioned in an Off Topic thread a couple years back. They are like twins in their appearance and overall fakery]
