How did everyone feel about Julie Pinson in the role of Billie on Days?? I was neutral on her, I do think the show attempted to transform her into Lisa Rinna with he haircut, etc but I don't think she had the same spunk as LR

I do think she was able to really show her acting abilities as Rosanna, which was so opposite of her portrayal of Dixie.

Thank you for posting these. The episode where they always trimmed the tree with them was always one of my favorites.

Yes I agree and I do think that Cady would have been willing to stay on full time, had Days offered her a contract.

How did everyone feel about Cady McClain taking over the role of Rosanna on ATWT?? I did like her in that role and it was a far cry from Dixie (which is what I had originally known her from), but I did like her in the role and thought she made it her own. I may be in the minority here, but I also liked her as a recast Jennifer on Days.

I do think Emily, Jenn and Shannon all need to be demoted or fired one.

I know people don't talk about her EP sting, but Ellen Wheeler went from acting in front of the camera on AW and AMC to directing and EP. Has she done anything on any of the current shows BTS since GL was cancelled?

For what???

Were any of Kristan Alfonso's pregnancies written in, I know the one with Shawn Douglas was not, but I cannot remember if the one with JT or Ciara was written in because of her real life pregnancy.

For me I would love to see a soap site, give weekly or daily reviews of the shows, soap star interviews (as someone who used to work for a now defunct soap site as a columnist and interviewer) are always fun to read. Maybe weekly opinion columns on the current daytime shows, a place for history of the shows and of course the message boards and/or chat rooms where soap fans can interact with one another.

As for NJ- Do I think Teres and Joe's reconcillation may be somewhat real... I don't think Melissa wants any part of it. Both parties are at fault, but I do wish Joe would realize his sister is the only immediate blood relation he has and squashes any issues with her prior to either one of them passing. If not for their benefit, at least all 7 kids benefits. I do think Rachel and Danielle are gone. I hate that Jen Aydin is gone, as I liked her. I do see it being Teresa, Melissa, Delores (especially now that she is engaged) and maybe Margaret (she is toxic and to me is part of the downfall of this franchise). I would like to see some newbies: Martha Byrne who was on As The World Turns lives in NJ and would be an interesting cast member, I also think they should bring back Danielle Staub. If Margaret stays around, I do hope that Melissa will back Teresa up when Marge starts her shenanigans. I did hear that Bravo reached out to Jacqueline Laurita to appear on the OC, but she turned it down. I do think Vicki is a lock, and I see Tamara (now that she and Vicki have made up) and possibly Heather coming back. Katie is gone, Jenn I would prefer to see as a friend of along with Gina and Emily. I am on the fence with Shannon, as I do think she still has an issue with alcohol and other underlying issues (stemming from her self esteem) and I think she needs a season or two off to seek therapy, get sober and figure out who Shannon Storms Beador is before she is brought back.

It's a shame that JB cannot comeback, but if true about Dan Gauthier I'm optimistic that the return of Peter will work. Peter has been off the canvas for so long and is overdue for a return. I do think if Cady McClain were still there then they could have brought JB back. I would like to see how Peter's presence plays into the Jack/Jennifer relationship and if Peter will still have feelings for Jennifer.

@Cheap21 @alwaysAMC Yes I heard that Andy pretty much confirmed the OG's were not part of the next RHONY season, which is a MAJOR a disappointment and could give it the boost it needs. My ideal cast would be: Sai, Jessel, Erin and Luann, Dorinda, Heather T, and Carole. As for Friends of I would do: Tinsley, Jenna, Racquel and Ramona. As much as I like Sonja and would love to see her back in some capacity, I think her addiction to alcohol is what will keep her from bravo. If they would have her go to rehab and show her attempting to remain sober while being friends with these ladies that might be something interesting. What do you guys think of New Jersey or the OC franchises??

So who do you all think will be part of the cast of RHONY. I've seen things posted online that it will be Sai, Jessel and Erin intermingled with OG's LuAnn, Carole, Dorinda and Sonja....BUT I have seen nothing confirmed or did Andy confirm anything at Bravocon? Who would your ideal cast for RHONY be?? Also, I have seen speculation that Melissa is faking this make up with Teresa, as a way to stay on RHONJ??? Supposedly Margaret Joseph's stated this at Bravocon?? Thoughts?? Who would you like to see as the HW on RHONJ.

I think this whole storyline is stupid. Everyone saw Matt die, but as we know no one actually dies on daytime. If they were going to bring RH in they should have made him a different character all together.
