Agreed 100% Especially when looking back, yes, you had great payoff in the comeuppances of Kristen and Sami, but even in the first half of '97, you can see they were dragging the Marlena/John/Kristen and Sami/Austin/Carrie stories during the winter and spring to have the big summer climaxes. Bo/Hope/Billie/JL King wasn't intriguing enough, and Jack/Jennifer was non-existent with Jack spending the first half of the year in prison. The second half was when DAYS started their hokey-jokey junk with the circus story and Vivian & Ivan dressed up as french fries and Lil' Bo Peep and the naroleptic Jonesey and his townhouse. Plus, Susan Banks. After the Kristen payoff in June of '97, Susan's presence was always comedy cringe.

... and Potomac is currently filming? Way to keep yourself fresh and relevant, 7 seasons in. You get them coins sis.

GL was must-see-TV in 2002. Their last great era. Agreed @MichaelGL DAYS & GL ("my" two shows) were tied for #1 in 2002 as the best.

Agree 100%. Aremid and all the rest was mid-90's DAYS at its finest

Well now isn't this some lovely news! They should film on location in New Zealand where Reckell lives now, but I'll settle for some shaky iPhone camera footage I secretly hope this will be the catalyst that draws Kristian back to the parent show. Hope is needed, even if she's a demon-possessed Princess Gina stuck over a vat of acid with an avalanche about to bury her, or whatever nonsense RC decides to reboot.

They'd do the same thing they did after Lisa Vanderpump left RHOBH: Focus on a new target. That said, I do think the show would falter without Teresa, love her or hate her. It's not just her; it's her famb-il-y. While the early years of RHONJ had the Manzos as the main family, the Guidices took over and we've seen them all grow up and have lil personalities of their own.

There's no psychological development with any of these characters. Shawn had sex with another woman. Who cares if it was the devil's work. That type of [!@#$%^&*] could play out for MONTHS. Certainly in the real world.

I'm about a week behind, but has Belle questioned yet her own recollections of timeline? Like, when Marlena was possessed but wasn't fully taken over, there were chunks of time she couldn't recollect. But Belle just takes these instances at face value? She CAN recall her whereabouts in the courthouse during the time she was supposedly morphing into EJ to kiss Abigail, right? Same with all the other instances. She hasn't questioned the fact that she CAN recount where she's been and what she's been doing? So dumb.

It's the voice... That shrill sound. We didn't hear all that screechy stuff during her Caroline Forrester 2.0 years on B&B.

Aw, sad to hear. Another daytime legend gone.

So did I skip over some key dialogue in recent weeks or has everyone in the family (Ridge, Taylor, Thomas, Steffy) totally forgotten that Phoebe ever existed? EDIT: and I oop—- Taylor inferred to her today.

Have the New Jersey reunions lewks been posted here yet? They all look really good actually. I don't even mind the feathers on Jennifuh.

Finn is like the male version of Ivy; lukewarm character that does decently in a pairing but with no distinct personality or strong rooting value.

Ashton Hall and Noah J Richter. Now that's what I'm talkin' about

At this point, I suppose we should be grateful there's no hermaphrodites getting impregnated by their own father who later gets castrated and has his penis sewn back on upside-down. Although that could be what's coming up for May Sweeps?

Yeah, I remember the ones they'd do for Beverly Hills in their early years. Nowadays in Housewivesland, either they're not sure until the day it airs who's an actual housewife vs. a friend, plus so many of 'em can't stand one another, good luck having them interact in a glitzy promo. I'm sure we'll check out the Dubai women to see what they serve up.

Or, you could google Kyle Richards from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Her posed shocked reactions are plentiful

My friend got to interview Joan Collins... here's the link: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffconway/2022/03/29/joan-collins-reflects-on-her-life-new-documentary-and-being-an-early-trailblazer-for-fair-pay-in-hollywood/?sh=2060ce0b3ecc

Well shoot. Count me in as a Jordi Vilasuso fan, way back from his Tony Santos days. I haven't watched Y&R regularly for a couple years, but I liked the Sharon & Rey pairing. His initial introduction with Mia and the Rosales family was good (I actually enjoyed the family... don't hurt me). Knowing B&B, he'll pop up next month as Kristen Forrester's newly de-aged husband.

Aw, so sad to hear. My heart goes out to La Lucci and her family.

Well, props to you for trying to make sense of this, lol. However, like you said, MarDevil's attempted seductions of John was to corrupt the priest. A true succubus, as those gossipy nurses read up on while Fr. Francis desperately tried to get his point across.

I will say, Sheree seems to be mixing it up and getting in there this season. Maybe it wasn't such a tired idea after all to bring her back for another comeback? Time will tell. It looks promising.... though I think Cynthia is needed to bridge the friendships and provide a necessary calm in the storm. Atlanta has done well in the past with having an extended list of "friends of" who frequently hang with the Housewives. I wonder if this season they're mainly sticking with the 6 castmembers?

I'm still wondering why the devil is suddenly so interested in having sex with mortals, but the whole thing is a giant clusterf#ck with their own set of rules being broken left and right.
