I like Pinky as part of this group so far. She is different and is the not the typical fake diva "I am so rich and fabulous" HW with the Instagram aesthetics. She can be awkward, but in a fun way. Just like Angela, she reminds me of a different era of reality tv for some reason.

ATL Kelli is just a fan who won a contest and got to film with the cast. Phaedra should have been a friend. K has no idea how to play the housewives game, she makes everyone miserable. Including the viewers. Shamea is... awkward and tries way too hard. Cynthia is GORGEOUS. The most beautiful housewife ever.

BF and CK are so good together. He should have been a new character instead of Cane. The show won't even try to bring new characters anymore.

Same.

So Holly was the Journal's owner at the time? Did she end up selling it?

Kristina can get involved with any man or woman on the show and somehow this ends up being boring.

I remember reading about Malone joining AW and I was ecstatic. It would be great to read someone's analysis on his work there.

Dabney's Isabelle was Alice Horton with money, Holm was like Stephanie Forrester and Barry was Loving's version of Phoebe Tyler. Mundy would have been great though, too bad she left after the pilot. The show's casting was great at first. I loved Shannon Eubanks as regal Ann. The only parts that needed actors with a different energy were Roger and Merril.

Danfling's Cancelled Soap Operas Board memories.

Ι remember an episode with Ed and Kelly crying together, it looked as though they were breaking up. It seemed to me that someone had a lot of fun with the scene for a specific audience, knowing that the others would not even suspect what was implied.

Elizabeth as their Pamela Capwell once Phillip was back? I could see that. They would probably bring Hope Bauer back as well.

I never bought LW as Carly. For some reason in the past few years she has convinced me that she is playing the same character that SJB played in the 90s. She seems rougher, tougher and less like a generic blonde soap opera leading lady.

That would be interesting, by that time the Dobsons were so different from their 70s material. One would never guess that they were the same writers. They would have fun with characters like Buzz, Nadine, Bridget for sure. Their Spauldings would become wackier and they might turn Alan-Michael into their Mason Capwell. Their Blake would probably not become boring and domesticated, she would have a fascinating dynamic with Holly. It would be fun to see what they would do with Roger.

Wendy Riche or Linda Gottlieb as EP. Michael Malone. I liked Susan Bedsow-Horgan both as a writer and as an EP.

Thank you so much. I loved Roya's Ava with Linden Ashby's Curtis.
