Definitely still viewing and cannot wait.

POTOMAC Great episode and Stacey could not be shaken...she is impervious to these women! It's incredible to witness. When she didn't hesitate to not only point her finger at Cookie (aka Broke Down Aretha Franklin) but then get closer to her...incredible. And THEN when K gave her all the ammo needed for the "you don't have a husband!" line...sensational. Angel did the Mention It All podcast and came across really well and very likeable. She is just a flop onscreen though. Speaking of which, it's really incredible to watch Wendy and Ashley talk about someone being inauthentic when we've got a fraudster and multi season divorce arc to behold... Finally, Monique was so smart and showed a lot of growth when she didn't take the bait about Stacey potentially dating her ex-husband. Another flop from K who just comes across more bitter and irrelevant each episode.

Wow, I had not thought of him, but that's an incredible run. The lawsuit he and Emily Daschenel had to file against Fox in 2019 for concealing profits has likely hurt their careers, but the settlement they reached after Fox appealed the $179 million judgment rendered in arbitration likely ensured that they're now very rich. And let's not forget the ill fated sitcom he endured with Faye Dunaway: It Had To Be You.

I could not imagine having someone like Mia in my life. I'd leave her in cells too!

Suzanne, may her memory be a blessing, probably had nothing good to say about that show given it was named by TV Guide as one of the 50 Worst Television Shows of all time...but it laid the groundwork for her comeback on Step by Step because Lorimar was the production company of both, and she had a very happy relationship with Lorimar and Miller-Boyett, who she tons of praise for. Patrick Duffy had an overall deal with Lorimar, so the moment Dallas was over, he was prepping for Step by Step. He is an incredibly well liked man and a solid actor, so he had a well deserved nearly 30 year run in primetime. That is the same for Locklear and Sullivan, both of whom are hard workers and very professional and well liked, and enjoyed such consistent careers in television. I personally really like Sheridan, and don't think what happened on Desperate Housewives was cool at all. She's worked since then with a number of networks, so there are clearly other people who agree. Loni Anderson was an actress who never managed to duplicate the success she enjoyed on WKRP in Cincinnati, which is really a shame because she was a skilled comedienne. In her last role, in a Lifetime TV movie, she proved she still had the comedic chops. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact she was beautiful and glamorous in her private and public image, so in the 80s they weren't casting someone who looked like her in a comedy. I think Morgan Fairchild is another actress who fits this category. She never had a big hit all her own. A 4 year run on Search for Tomorrow. Guest shots on Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, one episode on Dallas, then Flamingo Road, which only lasted two seasons, then Paper Dolls, which only lasted a season, then two years on Falcon Crest...it was like she could not find a permanent spot on a prime time soap. Then more guest shots (including an Emmy nomination for Murphy Brown), then Chandler's Mom on Friends, and really whatever she could do. She is so smart and has a good heart I'm sorry she never got the true success she deserved. I think a lot of it came down to her bravery in speaking about HIV/AIDS in the 80s and networks deemed her "too controversial"...bastards.

HPV related cancers are not restricted to the site of initial infection because HPV infects squamous cells which line many organs. The key with these types of cancers is the HPV infection has to be persistent and long lasting (in a lot of people they clear on their own after a year or two thanks to the body's immune system and do not persist). That is why the HPV vaccine is important: it protects against persistent infection which can later turn into cancer cells in multiple parts of the body, wherever there are squamous cells, not just wherever the initial site of infection was. Suzanne is a lovely lady and I hope she enjoys many years of good health ahead of her.

I wonder what happened? Her acceptance speech of her Wifetime Achievement Award at BravoCon was very complimentary an affectionate to Todd, while her statement to People is very one sided that the decision to divorce is hers...

Mia's kids will be fine - Gordon or a nanny will take care of them. At least while she's in jail she won't be able to corrupt them any more than she likely already has. Exactly. Of all the Real Felons of Bravo, Jen Shah is the worst, and her actions caused the most dire consequences. People actually died by suicide because of what she did. She is a terrible person. No need for her on Bravo.

The statement from the Osefo's lawyers is a word salad worthy of the Olive Garden endless salad and breadsticks promotion. It says exactly nothing of substance. They would have been wiser to say simply "We deny the allegations of the State and look forward to our day in Court."

Good ol' Pam Oliver and Eddie Hennessey. What flawless aliases. 😂 The Osefos have lived psychotically beyond their means. I think most of us would agree that none of Wendy's 'ventures' ever made sense. Her 'talk show' being the oddest thing of all...and the money expended had to be substantial given nobody with sense would invest with them. I wonder when all this started. In my view, Potomac is one of the least aspirational franchises. Not to be negative about the women, but only Monique lived in a baller home that was truly impressive. The rest of them live in nice houses in various parts of the DMV, but nothing that's a "Wow" and so for Wendy and Eddie to be in this much debt, and allegedly cook up these schemes...it's just plain weird.

The site works much faster on mobile and desktop.

Grifters gotta grift! I'm just surprised that Mia's behaviour didn't catch up with her sooner!

Yes, they did a 'premiere' of Maggie's death episodes at the ArcLight theatre in Los Angeles, arguably then the nicest movie theatre chain in the USA. Plus, Suzanne and Deidre were in a ton of scenes together during this time. Whatever happened between them happened after 2004.

Agree on both counts. I'll throw in that Michael Darby's ex wife can also go. She hasn't had a storyline in years and is just a hypocritical hater.

Re Karen: We sure did. Wendy pitching herself as some sort of victim when she and Eddie are old fashioned fraudsters? I shake my head.

That made me laugh out loud because it's true. Given Suzanne's recent experience with colon cancer, perhaps Deidre felt a slight thawing was appropriate, though her shoulder is decidedly turned to keep Suzanne out of her eyeline...

Which episode?

It's been re-airing on Bravo Canada (in hindsight, a good hint it was coming to Peacock), I did a re-watch, and it remains a top tier franchise. Season 1 is a perfect HW season with a flawless story arc.

Tuned in to see Kate on the November 4 episode. I hope Philip asking Sarah not to tell Kate about Xander is laying the groundwork for an actual storyline.

I have been on vacation and finally caught up with the franchises yesterday: LONDON What a powerhouse of a season. This show is top tier in the pantheon of great franchises alongside Melbourne and Vancouver. I will never tire of shouting "BACK TO PADDINGTON!" IYKYK. SLC This is the show that keeps delivering. This yacht trip is an inspired crossover and I can't wait to see the Below Deck episodes where we see this trip from the crew's perspective. I don't have detailed notes because I think the show is working so well, it's fun to watch, there's enough drama that isn't too ugly or deep, and the show keeps moving. POTOMAC Angel is flopping and K is the root cause of this because she's a total downer. Tia is great and read Ashley perfectly without breaking a sweat and always with a smile. Stacey is bulletproof to Ashley and Giselle and it's incredible to see how her years at QVC prepared her to keep talking and be totally unbothered. It's a sight to behold. Enjoying this tropical vacation very much. OC This one is a disappointment. The Amsterdam trip is dull and it's clear this is a cast of co-workers who hate each other and would never spend a moment of their free time together but for this show. They keep saying Shannon is so hilarious and I don't see it. I just see cringe. This has been a good season for Heather, and the moment where she scattered her father's ashes was well done and beautifully shot. Emily's story with her son is uncomfortable to watch. Gina has had a good season where she seems to be more fearless in dealing with Tamra. I enjoy Jen because she's a classic throwback housewife where she has no real job, no prospects, is always a bit of a mess, spends money she doesn't really have, but is, at her core, a nice person. Tamra sucks. Gretchen really sucks.

A pity to have a month without anything for LK.

Thank you for both! I will look into that podcast with Stephanie Beacham. Susan looked beautiful and was so sweet and humble.

I'll try to find a clip later, but I'm thrilled for Susan Walters. So very well deserved.

I was not surprised it was a 'he' referred to given Larsa was saying Yulia likes to hook up with men and had been spotted around Miami with one a few seasons back...

I think she's very pragmatic. A year or so ago she did a podcast where she mentioned she had to ask Sony for more money because she doesn't drive in LA anymore and uses Uber instead. I think she likes to work as she does now and wants to make a good scene, preposterous writing be damned. So I tuned in once you'd signaled the Jill Signal. I'm glad I did. It is always great to see Jess Walton. I agree - I miss the lion's mane but it's styled well. For 79 years old, she looks great (a couple of years ago, in social media post, she said she'd shaved a few years off her birthday when she'd audition, she used to claim 1949 but she's really born in 1946). The scenes with Victor and Jack and Cane were all good. You can see that Eric Braeden likes working with her: his eyes twinkle. Jess Walton and Peter Bergman have always had great chemistry and it remains undimmed. The lighting on that train set is the best in daytime. All of the actors look like prime time stars in that set. It was easy to compare Jess Walton on the Newman Ranch set vs the Train set - she looked glorious in that lighting. Billy Flynn looks like a child! Peter Bergman has 10 years knocked off him in that lighting.
