TJ/Tajh Bellow is serving body-oddy-oddy today in these pool scenes. I know the economics are different for GH than the other soaps, but it’s striking to see them with an actual pool set with bountiful extras when Y&R is having Fortune 500 business meetings in hotel lobbies and broom closets.

Hmmm.

This suicide hotline PSA. Disgraceful. Especially after this nonsensical story.

Part of me doesn’t even want VM back because I’m almost certain they’d make Brenda look stupid to prop Queen Carly.

He sounds almost Goutmanesque.

That’s insane. FV is out of his mind.

JJ seems to be focusing on his music and writing Christian fiction.

Yep. Just ridiculous. This is all so unnecessary.

That’s a huge live rating for Potomac, all things considered. It’s eclipsing a lot of the other more established franchises. Now *that’s* a cast with chemistry. Gizelle vs. Karen will never get old. Bershan’s behavior felt phony and production-provoked to me. We all know production interferes, but if you can’t sell the illusion, don’t bother. And if the show feels the need to force drama like that, they’ve already admitted defeat. The more I see of Eboni, both on the show and off, the more I dislike her. Leah should never have been on this show. Even Aviva Drescher, who I came to despise, was a much better fit. Hell, Kelly Bensimon, all is forgiven.

I fear an unnecessary OC-style gutting of NYC, with similar results, and Leah as the Kelly Dodd. Hopefully they’ll be smarter this time.

This show sucks. This tear-soaked $Bill/Justin yellfest is so much cringe. Aaron D. Spears deserves better.

Glad to see classic TV really making inroads in the streaming era.

She would have been great with all of them and especially Bobbie too. She would have excelled with the Quartermaines and would likely have been intrigued by Justus as a new player within the family. And Simone and Keesha would have been more than just afterthoughts. Tony’s post-B.J. downward spiral probably would have been handled with a lighter touch (less psycho, maybe more akin to Ed’s trauma after Maureen’s death?)

I didn’t know Yoshi was playing Newport. He’s playing Jack Sock today. Yoshi was beating the brakes off Jack the last time they played in Miami, but had to retire with that ACL injury.

Try as they might, and they tried this episode to give us fun and drama (and even “touching moments” with the women rallying around a grieving Eboni and defending Sonja), but this RHONY cast has zero chemistry. Bershan definitely came to get it poppin, but it felt as forced as Leah’s bullsh!t (and it’s rich that Leah had so much to say about Bershan’s behavior—two peas in a pod). For me, NY is the most rewatchable franchise, but I’ve begun skipping reruns this season.

I thought he was really good as Shayne on GL.

Where? You gotta bring some receipts when you drop something like that. 😂

I can’t with this show continuing to shoehorn this obnoxious and mannered actor into core families.

Ok, that’s a good one.

There are moments when Spencer kinda looks like DZ/Dante.

Jo Konta got COVID and is also out of the Olympics.
