Arianne Zucker has her Emmy reel.

Where was Nicole’s bestie Ava? Did they fall out? (I know everyone can’t be present.)

Yikes at Andy’s neck beard.

Actually, it even predates the show which I point out simply because I think this is SO key to what makes good riveting TV.
Teresa vs Danielle vs her family, the NY OGs against each other, Giz vs Karen, Kyle vs Kim... The most compelling lasting feuds have been when there is underlying history and layers after layers of subtext that goes beyond "Look! A camera! Let me start [!@#$%^&*] with this relative stranger for airtime!"
 

Exactly.

Megan McTavish at Days could be an entertaining watch. I could see her succeeding there. I have longed thought of stints at AMC as generic Days rip-offs.

I *wish* she had fücked off to DAYS circa ‘98 or so to avoid her trash OLTL and GH stints (which weren’t her worst work ultimately but still she shouldn’t be anywhere near a “traditional” soap).

I agree with you guys that say that if RH should have been Austin from the get go. I actually don't mind him in this role, and actually liked his scenes with Maxie today. Though, they do continue to try and shoehorn him in this show and various roles, and I can see why people are tired of that.

And they’re putting him in scenes with Ava to capitalize on RH’s old rapport with MW. It’s just kinda lame because even though the part is different, they are slotting him into familiar places. And they aren’t acknowledging him as a Franco lookalike in spite of some odd exchanges of glances with Liz. I can imagine someone who hasn’t watched GH in a while being really confused.

You didn't hear wrong. He did say it.

He loves to drop F-bombs on this show and gets away with it (Connie Fückin-hairy).

Is it just me, or did I hear Maurice Benard say, “We’re gonna fûck this cancer together!”? It sure sounded like that.

This was sad to watch…nothing was there. They could’ve kept this mid season trailer lol

Damn. This show's in trouble.. 

Oof. Yes. 

Bershan is in there only once? Twice—heard her voice with the penis comment, then saw her face later.

LSV’s triceps tho.

I see a lot of people commenting on the Quarter age difference when there’s just around 14 years between RS (born ‘68) and LSV (born ‘82).

Lol...lucky guy... I'd love to know who he is.

Because whoever he is…

BTS just replaced themselves at No. 1!

It would have been... interesting. I think some pairings would have been made to shakeup the canvas, and I do believe Holden/Lily & Carly/Jack really would have been shaken up

I can imagine Claire leaning into screwball comedy with Jack/Carly. She loved hijinks between a crazy, kooky wild woman and a tsk-tsking man (like Lucy/Kevin or Lois/Ned—even though Jack wasn’t coded as strait-laced as those two.)

I wonder how a Claire Labine led As The World Turns would've been?

Mike Manning won an Emmy:

Demetrius, a model from Los Angeles  

Very off-topic but I thought it was relevant to Housewives, considering how closely we parse character motivations and dynamics on these shows:

I know The Young and the Restless did a few during the 2010s: Paris (a few times) and even New Orleans (which may have been the late 2000s).

B&B has done some relatively recent location stuff: Australia in 2017 for the last Liam/Steffy wedding, I believe.
