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?

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.

Are all these people playing? That’s actually a good bit of the top players—not necessarily a sure thing for Novak:

Having seen Carlivati's work on OLTL, DAYS and GH, I think B&B would be his best work. I often fantasize about people writing for B&B. Brad Bell is creatively dead and that show will only be truly good when someone takes over. With Carlivati in particular, he'd shine by opening up the canvas. He loves delving into the history of a show and bringing people back, even if it's short term so I feel with him we'd get to see our favorite characters popping in. We'd have gay characters like you mentioned, but also the show would get it's sex appeal back and we'd have villain's and femme fatales, mysteries, comedy and the other stuff you expect on a show like this set in the fashion world.

Brad Bell's writing is so bad I'd accept almost anyone taking over if I'm being real.

It’s hard to imagine anyone being worse or lazier than Brad. RC can be plenty lazy himself (more in repeating plots like the masks and DID), but perhaps the half-hour format might tamp down on some of his excesses? I wonder if CBS would let him get away the gay content, but who knows? (Has anyone ever asked Brad Bell about his show’s lack of LGBT representation in portraying the fashion industry? Maybe around the time of the Maya reveal, or was he just patted on the back for his “bravery”?)

If RC had his druthers, he would definitely made Vinny gay, but that would have been just as offensive as what Brad did (making a sidekick gay and obsessed with his straight/bi buddy, then potentially killing him off).
