I watched all three parts today and I think it basically summed up the issues with Mary's church that came out a few years ago. None of that was a surprise to me. What did surprise me was the audio recordings of the man who was Lisa's friend and claimed to have had an affair with Mary and mortgaged his house for her. Now that was a smoking gun. Robert Sr. came across as the real villain of the piece. From his marriage to Mary's grandmother, to how he treated those boys who lived with her, to how he got together with Mary after she'd been ex-communicated by the grandmother, while still married to another man...I can see why he doesn't want to appear on RHSLC. I don't think this documentary will make a dent in Mary's popularity or return for next season.

I’ve set my DVR to record as I was under the weather and missed it - will watch tomorrow!

I hope these two actually get back together. I don’t think either of them are happier without the other.

I just wish they'd aired the second part of Jill crashes Katherine's party...Jess Walton delivers this monologue that effectively retells the Jill/Katherine feud and Jill goes nuclear. It's even better than the episode that aired.

Based on their interaction at BravoCon and the interview, we know that Stacey loves Karen. I think Karen will return and thrive because the pretence is over. She’s been tried, convicted, served her time, and is now going to tell the truth.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, year in and year out, to compile this data. Here’s to better numbers (and a contract?) for Lauren Koslow in 2026.

Tia is easily the best newbie. Angel is easily the worst newbie. She talks a big game in podcasts and in the after show, but she falls absolutely flat during the show itself. Stephanie and her private plan etiquette on RHOM is a close second, but her reactions at the reunion kind of spared her for me. Stacey Rusch is a queen, icon, legend, and she is the moment. She made Vanity Fair for goodness sake. Talk about length, talk about drama, talk about stones, talk about comfort so lightweight...nobody can touch her level of epic at the moment. No season 2 curse for this lady. Season 2 blossoming is more like it. Her sit down with Carlos King is worth a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L5RsrXXVkM

Just finished it. What a stark reminder of what once was. The number of different storylines running at the same time, every single scene scored with perfect music, the Chancellor mansion set being filmed from pool through to the living room, and the amount of storyline accomplished in 60 minutes. The number of characters appearing. The extras! The clothes. The sparkling jewelry. They got more done in 60 minutes than the show gets done in 6 months.

It looks like we are in for a treat for New Years Day…the Canadian episode airing this afternoon is from 1998: Jill crashes Katherine’s party.

I have tuned in for a few episodes over the holiday season. For reference, the last time I tuned in was when Jess Walton last appeared and she visited Cane on his train set, proving how incredibly good the lighting on that set is… The show is insanely boring and dull. Absolutely nothing happens. The direction is lifeless. The dialog is repetitive and flat. The music is non existent. Bill Bell is surely rolling in his grave.

Yes, and they weren't junk throwaway scenes for filler either. I hope that we're seeing an increase in episode presence for Kate and Philip coming up.

Loved today's scenes with Kate, Philip, and Lucas. Talk about easy chemistry.

This is a love story and if you have a heart this series will speak to it. One of the finest pieces of television I have ever seen. Very proud of what Canadian talent was able to achieve, funded by two provinces and the federal government's tax credit system. O Canada!

Although Luke was never my reason to watch GH, there was no denying that Anthony Geary was a legend in his own time. I hope he is at peace and that Jackie Zeman was there to help him transition. I liked Luke best when the show played the brother/sister beat with Bobbie. May his memory be a blessing.

We've all been saying it in this thread for years and years. BH is super boring. This thread is generally flawless in predicting audience reactions and we've all known this day would come. At last! And there is the most glaring issue of all. Production allowed the women to showcase fake storylines in exchange for not covering their real life events. I really think the Morgan Wade thing damaged the show because Kyle's constant evasiveness over it drove audiences away when it became clear that Kyle is not sharing her real life. And likely never has. Zing! That's a great line. BH has never evolved. Their cast has been stale, and been allowed to be stale, for years. If the producers had any guts, they'd have fired Kyle and Erika, kept Garcelle, and hired two new women. Love her or loathe her, Dorit is the only one whose showing her life imploding and audiences who didn't like her in the past are now warming to her.

What's also mind blowing to me is the free flow of foreign money in the transaction proposed by Paramount. Are Americans really OK with foreign sovereign wealth funds and hostile foreign powers owning substantial media assets? Foreign ownership of media companies is commonly illegal in the Western world...yet it doesn't seem that Americans mind this.

Really enjoyed the scenes, as well as the follow up at the pub, great to see Kate back in a power suit. LK and SR have a nice easy chemistry .

The USA's antitrust laws are not being upheld and if the Ellisons gain control of Warner Bros. that would be as near a monopoly as anyone could get.

I will be tuning into my PVR to catch these scenes.

I agree. I thought it was very dull and the obsession with Garcelle (and Avi) shows these women have nothing going on and aren't willing to bring their own lives into focus for the audience to see. I will treat this season as my PVR show. I'll record it and watch when I'm doing laundry or the dishes. I can tell it will be a dull season with very little going on other than a few fights that nobody really cares aout.

100% - Reba plays Reba, and we love her for it, with each show having a very similar tone. She's extremely likeable and confident, so it's an easy sell.

POTOMAC Another banger of an episode all thanks to Stacey and Wendy. Firstly, the telephone call that Charisse clearly thought was going to be a hot moment and then...was nothing. Like everything Charisse touches, it turns to forgettable sand. K and Angel are flops. Ashley is bitter and as fake as the wig upon which she placed that unfortunate hat in her VT. I think Jassi could do well next season once her bridezilla moment has faded. I liked her scenes this episode and her husband was likeable, cooking away. It's really a shame that Wendy is having such a great season while the insurance fraud charges are pending. There was her mother prancing on her back deck talking about living off of Wendy's money, flaunting her Christian Dior bag, while Wendy's home gets renovated...all while the DMV police are figuring out what Pam Oliver and Eddy Hennessy were up to... Monique has really evolved. She was so calm while some of the women were trying to kick up a mess with Stacey. Even in the After Show she told Ashley she was wrong about 'screenshots' being used. She pointedly said that Stacey showed her all the text messages and that she'd been able to scroll, so they were obviously not screenshots. Gizelle feels a little bit outside the group this season, which I think will work to her advantage come reunion time and when she's finally back in touch with Karen.

Porsha knows how to raise interest before a season. Happy for her too. Robyn will never take accountability for why she was rightly dumped. The show hasn’t missed a beat without her.

Jess knocked it out of the park and within a decade of playing Jill, had two Emmys to her name. Another great choice. Carmen was wonderful as Iris. I'll also add Lauren Koslow as Kate on DAYS. She's coming up to her 30th anniversary on the show. There are definitely still people who love Deborah Adair's Kate, but for me, it's LK or nobody.

Definitely still viewing and cannot wait.
