RIP John Aniston. Despite Victor's sometimes surly demeanor, Aniston always seemed like a warm, cuddly guy. Another end of an era. I agree they better do right by his tribute at DAYS.

I’m hoping this wonderful news emboldens the Dems of Georgia to ensure we’re a 51/49 majority come December.

Side note: does my memory deceive me or did we see a snippet of Eli, Lani, and the twins visiting Salem for Christmas?

Crazy how Maree Cheatham is still actively doing work, yet DAYS never thought to bring her back in a recurring basis?

Nailed it. They wanted to check a box for representation without doing any real work.

Exactly. That's been on my mind in recent months (years?) with this whiplash writing of one dramatic crisis after another with NO aftermath. No trauma, no reflection, no time to sit back, breath, re-assess, and really have ANY character growth. For Christ's sake, how many characters had their minds & bodies taken over by Satan this past year?!? Add to that, new characters introduced are poorly developed without any specific character traits. I mean, who IS Jada?

Seeing present-day photos of Burton reminds me of how important it is to always wear SPF on your face, no matter what time of year it is...

I'm down for Heather migrating to BH, and I'd be down for Cynthia Bailey migrating to BH. That would be quite the game-changer and a much needed shakeup to the Beverly Hills roster. (Side note: OC *might* suffer as a result, but let's first see what happens this season with Tamra's return & Taylor joining) BTW: Hubby told me he read Garcelle announced she's leaving BH. Is that true??

I love my messy Ashley, but that was just sloppy work on her part. Do better, Ash. Candiace's talking head read was funny though. Cha Cha lying on the phone was so obvious. Even in her lonely champagne room all bloated and gassy on the bubbly, she can remember holding Robyn back. Agreed on Mia. And three seasons in and Wendy still isn't a good fit with this group. It seems too forced to have Mia & Wendy there. That's why I can let Charrisse's return slide because there's actual history and ongoing beef.

May I ask for those who follow the polls and talking heads, what is the general prediction regarding Ron Johnson vs. Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin? It seems people think Ron's gonna hold onto the spot. Perhaps it's because I'm in the very blue capital city, but there is so much more enthusiasm to get Ron out.

Sure, with about 25 extra pounds of pure muscle, but I’ll take the compliment 😆

Yet your Facebook profile pic is of someone else. Hmm 🤔 lol

A true daytime diva never reveals all her beauty secrets. She simply goes “on vacation” for 2 weeks and comes back looking “well rested.”

:::shrug::: I’ve been getting it since I was 34. A lot more people do it than you realize, we just don’t go overboard. Re: Nadia, Chrishelle, and let’s throw Jacquie Wood from B&B in here too… that’s not [just] Botox giving them a funhouse mirror look. Filler and other enhancements, likely under the knife, not just an injection.

I've never watched Let's Make A Deal ever, but sadly I must admit CBS made the right choice to cancel Guiding Light. They would never have 2.6 million viewers in 2022...

Gurl same Ed Hartwell, Apollo, and Eddie Judge

This coy, flirtatious crap between Carter & Katie is for the birds. Just f--k already.

:::In my best Carolyn Hinsey voice::: I'm back from Paris. Did you miss me? LOL. Hubby & I went back to Paris to celebrate the big 4-0 for him, and since then I've been up to my eyeballs at work... but I've been keeping tabs on everyone keeping this thread alive and popping. I'll just add in what's currently on my mind: POTOMAC: - I loved how they started the season with the 4 vets together in the park. Seven seasons in, and we have 4 originals, 1 original back as a messy, sloppy, thirsty friend-of (Hi Charrisse), and 1 original that pops in and continues to make us wonder if she's... okay (Hi Katie). - Gizelle is gonna make me root for Candiace. Congrats Candiace. The Giz goes for everyone's marriage each season since she doesn't have one of her own. - I still think Mia and Wendy are dead weight. But I guess the alternative is not having enough castmembers, which brings me to.... SALT LAKE CITY: - They brought in the 3 friend-of's to cause thirsty drama (Hi Angie H) at the right time, because as we were finishing up the episode with only 4 women at the table in Aspen while Jen had already left, I was thinking "geez, they're kind of stretched thin here, and the story is already getting played out." I will concur a kooky sidekick like Mary was appreciated. At least we can wait and see how everyone reacts post-Jenn's guilty plea. - Whitney, I usually give her the benefit of the doubt, but she is doing too much and making a mountain out of a molehill with cousin Heather. Team Heather all the way. Although I appreciated last night's very real revelation that Whitney's hubby got fired from his job because of his cringe-worthy scenes on TV. I kinda feel bad for Dimples, but he should've put more thought into the repercussions of filming such an icky smut scene. BEVERLY HILLS: - What a mess. You know what, can't believe I'm gonna go against the grain here, but there is so much family history with those Richards sisters and Kathy is not 100% innocent. People elsewhere have pointed out how cold Kathy was to Kyle at the reunion, but I understand Kathy not wanting to air out more family laundry on television (not to mention, sitting across from the vultures), so when Kyle pressed for answers, Kathy did not respond. I get that. However, I feel there's more to the story with these three sisters. Yes, Kyle has been desperate for the limelight for years and tried to achieve that at the expense of her sister (See limo scene, Season 1), but I don't think anyone is 100% to blame in this rift that has been in place on and off for years. There's layers of hurt and betrayal amongst Kim, Kathy, and Kyle. - I'd love the return of people like Denise and Camille, for starters. One thing's for sure: The true Queen of RHOBH is Garcelle, with sidekick Sutton as princess. I love how they reign supreme in the fan world, much to the dismay of The Coven. - I am very interested in seeing how/if they retool this show next season, because the darkness that has prevailed is greater than any other year or any other franchise. To think Bravo retooled RHONY after Season 4 --- that was a walk in the park in comparison! NEW YORK - That reminds me. I'm not at all impressed with the new RHONY cast. I suppose I'll check it out once it premieres, but I have no excitement for it. @Cat I think it was you who posted the Ramona interview with Carlos King? Thank you! Very enlightening. I guess we can officially blame Ebony for how the reunion fell apart, filming of a new season with the prior cast still in place fell apart, and now we've got a crop of newbies while thirsty vets like Dorinda and Jill wait with baited breath for the news of LEGACY actually happening. I can understand Ramona enjoying her private life post-reality TV, but I selfishly hope she returns IF Legacy were to happen. Hey. It's Only My Opinion!

Cecily's return made all the difference in this past weekend's show. She just makes me laugh.

Meh, I don't mind the cheesiness. They load up these shows with so much filler and nonsense as it is. It's funny though how The Today Show has a nice history of doing some very well done costumes, but because so much of the footage either IS Matt Lauer or includes Matt Lauer, they don't ever show it in their flashback piece anymore.

Brooke and Liam was bound to happen. I’m surprised it took this long. History repeating itself certainly shows how the aging of her kids are so out of whack. At this point, Bridget is older than Brooke.

"Never Been Done Before" reeks of late 90's Guiding Light James Harmon Brown / Barbara Esensten era. I don't mind the threesome, but it seemed misplaced and out of character for Ali. The only person it felt organic to was newbie horndog Alex. I swear though, if they saddle one or both with a baby and then abort it, as some sort of liberal checklist to stir up the conservative crowd.... just no.

LOL totally called it.

Well, it must be said, so I'll say it: With DAYS now exclusively on Peacock, Salem's resident lesbian couple decided to put the cock in Peacock. Thank you, I'll be here all week.

Happy birthday everyone! Oh I remember the early years of 2003-2004 when I used to get into arguments over that blasted Salem Serial Killer storyline. But like everyone else, I've mellowed. This is such a great lil online community that I have enjoyed for nearly two decades now (yikes!). From soap opera news, discussion, to the infamous Real Housewives thread, I'm so glad us lil soap nerds have a place to hang and discuss. Thank you @Toups @Errol and the whole team! Here's to another couple decades!
