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.

Hmmm Selejeko.. I wonder if he is going to be Ivy's kid. I wonder if they will bring Ivy, Melissa Horton or Pete back. Also, I wonder if Tony's disappearance, once again has something to do with Andre Dimeria??? Or perhaps Megan has kidnapped him and is going to brainwash him as a pawn in her game.

These are all pretty interesting. I tried using Chat GPT and the image it was supposedly producing did not show up. Work only has the basic version and Im one of the older generation (50 years old and retiring in May) and not sure how to work AI quite yet lol.

Yes they should not have made Scotty Baldwin Franco's dad. The character is a legacy character and should be on there. Pair him back up with Lucy, and bring Serena and her adopted daughter with Kevin to town and showcase them, even if it is just recurring. I tuned in the last 2 weeks while nursing a sprained ankle and while I like some aspects of what I see, others leave me wanting me. And poor Elizabeth, she is the only hardy connection left and should be front and center of the show!!

Do we know who he is playing yet or perhaps which character(s) he might be connected too?

Kassie DePavia, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Melody Thomas Scott, Ryan Phillipe to name a few starred in Horror flicks at somepoint during their career.

I think Kim Zimmer's pregnancy was written in when Reva was pregnant with Marah or Shayne.

So I have been busy at work closing out the school year, but took yesterday to get caught up on a week and half of episodes while I cleaned house. Here's my thoughts. 1- June-Intrigued by the character and loved the ATWT references. Wondering if she will be connected to Hayley (as her sister) and the mother of Martin and Smitty's twins. I have seen something saying she is a long lost DuPree. So who knows, but I like the character. 2- Liking Jacob and Naomi more and like seeing them on their own. 3- Nicole- I want to see her on her own for a while. Figuring out who she is as a woman, a professional and a mom. Have her date some and enjoy life before automatically getting back together with Ted. 4- New Ted- Jury is still out. Having a hard time not hearing the deep voice and while I like Keith Robinson, he could pass as Kat's brother. 5- Andre and Dani- Why do I feel they are going to catch feelings for one another?? 6- Chelsea- Enjoying her exploring her sexuality. Kind of reminds me of the coming out story and Erica's initial reaction on All My Children. Hoping to see where this goes and have them flesh out the character or Chelsea more. 7- Martin- BC still hasn't grown on me. I may be in the minority, but I would love to see the character recast. 8- Ashley and Derek- Better apart. I am hoping now that they are apart they will flesh out both characters more. I would LOVE to see Ashley revealed as mobster Joey's daugther and her mom his former wife/lover. 9- Vanessa and Doug- I am torn on them. I love her with Joey, but I like her with Doug too. I do think they are doomed and something tells me that Doug's days are numbered (take that how you want). I hope that we see their children return home. I love Doug with Shanice...speaking of her.. 10- I wish they would give Shanice her own storyline and flesh out that character. She has so much chemistry with so many characters on the show 11- Tomas and Kat- They are a dud to me. Tomas shines more with Eva, that would be a pairing I would be interested in seeing. 12- Anita and Vernon- Enjoying them. Interested to see what skeletons are in their closets and if it will keep them together or pull them apart.

And another way for Bill to go against the DuPree's by working to get Haley custody of Ty and Sam.

@Errol any chance ABC might consider reviving it since BTG the gates is so oh fire right now.

Overall I was impressed with this week and fall out from the revealation. I am looking forward to seeing the Nicole/Dana showdown next week. I do wonder if June is going to be tied to Hayley.

Interesting. I was not aware of that.

Geez aren't you Debbie Downer. I am entitled to my opinion just as you are entitled to yours.

I hate that Ted was recast and it will be jarring for a new actor to pop up on the screen. In some ways, I wish they would have had Ted leave town after the revelation to clear his head, have an accident that disfigured him and he had to have surgery explaining the new actor. Unless the Ted we were seeing was not the real Ted at all??

I have read numerous places on line that Leslie/Dana may somehow be connected to one of Anita's old band mates that she obviously has issues with. They were both from Chicago and Leslie/Dana stated she gave birth to Eva there. If this is true it could add another dimension to this storyline.

I think a lot of us still agree with that. I do hope that the resurgence in the soap world with Beyond the Gates will push ABC to either bring back these shows or produce a newer one.
