ATL Boring episode. Lots of filler. RI Whew! Liz has blown her goodwill with the audience. She came across practically unhinged when confronting Jo Ellen and Alicia.

The irony is season 3 is the only The Royals season to not include Dame Joan. My recollection is she spent most of that shooting period filming a movie with her friend Pauline Collins (aka Shirley Valentine) so was not available to film. She reappears in season 4. The show is worth seeing through to the end, I just wish it got a season 5!

I sure hope it's true. And I sure hope my girl Janet Roach comes roaring back too.

I’ve received the same error many times today. I’ve also been logged out on a desktop I use with Chrome and cannot log in again. It just takes me to the log in page as if I didn’t enter any details.

It's so bad it's good. The new song of the summer. Exactly. Kelsey is a mean girl who pushed and pushed and then Rosie finally exploded. Kelsey has had this coming all season long. Rosie demolished her. Just vaporized her. Kelsey is clearly unaccustomed to someone pushing back.

That was Brooke's reaction? I am so disappointed. No theatrics, no screaming, no thunderous background music...she took it way too well. The child actor who plays Hayes is awful.

Kudos to James Reynolds with the episode around Lexie's back from the dead reveal. He played that very well.

Dame Joan turns 93 on May 23. Here she is today the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. Her film, My Duchess, is screening to potential distributors:

Yet another example of what an intrinsically good person Angela was.

I agree - just kill off Kristen and Leo. Both are albatrosses to the show.

Exactly. B&B has been delivering what the rest of the pack have not been. And it's working. I hope they realize this isn't an accident and keep moving forward with this momentum.

That would be the dream. Natalie was always meant to be Kay Alden's successor and Janice knows the show better than anyone currently writing.

The best overall primetime soap is Knots Landing because it never became a shell of itself and it had a proper ending, something the other primetime soaps cannot claim. Michele Lee, Joan Van Ark, and Donna Mills are all very good playing layered characters. I'd say Knots is the most 'real' of the primetime soaps from this era. For my money, season 2 - 4 of Dynasty are its best as a glitzy primetime soap that still had some edge, season 5 it starts to focus on a particular storyline that provides its most memorable season ending cliffhanger, and I liked season 9 much more than 6 - 8, where the show really lost its way. If you want to watch one woman singlehandedly reinvent a show, look no further than Joan Collins as Alexis Carrington Colby. She rocked it and nobody could have played that part like she did. Dallas is solid for the first 10 years and then it starts to fall apart as several important cast members leave. It's also the primetime soap where the male characters were generally more important than the female characters. Larry Hagman is incredibly good as the incredibly bad JR. Falcon Crest was never my show and the little I've seen over the years just confirms it.

I’ve watched a few episodes and the show looks just fine in terms of resolution and the like. It looks to be around 1995 or 1996. I’ve been rewatching Dynasty on PlutoTV and the idea of these FAST channels is appealing. There’s nothing to manage for the broadcaster and it just keeps going and going on a loop.

Yes! Our girls are back. I can't wait.
