Ladies of London
Loved it. Way better cast than the original LoL. The Dara stuff was so unflattering given she exposed herself on camera within the same episode that she denied doing so. Mark-Francis was totally himself. A total one-off.

Absolutely. And Monique is an objectively smart person. I do not see how she didn’t see it was Kierna who was openly talking speaking to Cookie.

That was admirable of Monique to fully exonerate Stacy. Now I want Monique to return and annihilate whoever on the cast was the leak...

RIP: In Memoriam Thread
Thank you for posting this - I had a hard time finding it. The Actor Awards Memoriam has now become the best of the awards shows, BAFTA used to be, but now they focus on the performer, such a glaring mistake. It's nice that several daytime folks made the cut: Fulton would have been thrilled that they used a clip of Lisa at her sparkling best.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
RHOP Now THAT was a solid 3 part reunion. Aside from Ashley's clip package, there was zero filler. The Monique 'evidence' moment from last week amounted to more hearsay. I don't know why nobody is talking about Kierna outing herself when she mentioned she talked to Cookie immediately after the scenes were filmed? Duh, people, the leak is Cookie. The case against Wendy, from everything I've reviewed, is overwhelming, so it was strange to watch her act like a victim. The email evidence alone shows that she and Eddie knew what they were doing in making their fraudulent insurance claims. Karen's appearance was good. I now appreciate that she would prefer to label herself positively, as a woman living in lifetime recovery from all substances, rather than take on the shameful moniker of alcoholic. Her moment with Stacy made me laugh: "Did you lie again?" said with the casualness of someone ordering an iced tea on a summer afternoon. I also think she was absolutely correct about Wendy talking too much because that nonsensical story she told about the dog making a mess...it's not good. The prosecution will use that against her. When it comes to the newbies, I'd bring back Angel and Tia. Although Angel is a mess, I enjoyed her at the reunion and the disaster she hosted in Colorado gave us some fantastic TV. I'd dump Kierna whose just never quite clicked and I'd dump Jassi too. She added nothing to the reunion. Considering her husband is on the practice squad, she has a very mighty opinion of herself...she should take a page out of Tia's book and get a job that can support their family. Overall, a very, very good season.

HBO: Industry
Yes, it’s been a really good season, albeit very different from the original premise of the show. It’s interesting to see a show shed 80% of its original cast over time and still be compelling. I will look forward to season 5. I think the writers are wise to end it there. This season has been so dramatic and so big, mirroring many real life events, that it could have jumped the shark.

What a nightmare for Mary. She fought hard for him.

B&B: Revamped Website Unveiled
The site looks great, the concept has been very well executed, and the price will appeal to fans. Casey deserves a lot of credit. This is a great way to monetize existing IP for the Bells. If only Y&R and DAYS would do this.

I thought Karen's interview on Sherri was much, much better than her sit down with Andy.

What a great start to the reunion. Stacey had me laugh out loud when she quietly said "God rest his soul" when they mentioned James Earl Jones. Angel held her own. Gizelle realllllllly does not come across well when the whole 'catfish' thing came up. And Ashley is miserable. Time for her to go!

I'm glad the internet did its thing and ended Jill Zarin. I look forward to seeing Lu and Sonja and the other ladies on the E! show without her.

My recollection was she said she had disease of alcoholism. You're right she did not say 'alcoholic' but I thought she did say 'alcoholism'.

That's how I feel as well. I was partly disappointed, but not completely, as Karen focused on her abuse of pills. However, I was glad that in the last segment she referred to herself as an alcoholic. I think Karen was definitely more accountable than Shannon, but less accountable than Luann, so her interview wasn't what I'd hoped it to be, but it wasn't a waste either. Luann did not try and sugar coat or wrap her issues in gauze...she just said it how it was, right down to eating a prison sandwich that still had the mustard packet in it. Shannon continues to excuse herself and flatly deny that she has a problem, when she literally drove into a house with her dog in the car too. The irony of it is Luann's crime was the least serious (drunk and disorderly, no vehicle involved, no risk to innocent parties), yet she took it more seriously than either Karen or Shannon have. My problem with the interview started when Karen talked about 'mentoring' the young women in prison...like she was already trying to cast herself in a positive light as this experienced woman full of wisdom. A truly wise person would realize she's at the very beginning of recovery and should humble herself more than she has. I think it was good that she didn't pretend everything with Ray was great. And it was also good that she didn't claim she deserved a second chance from viewers. I'm also glad she admitted to ignoring her lawyers when they gave her good advice - many clients would never do that. It was also good that she admitted Ashley's intel, while very old news (note Ashley omitted that part), was accurate. There is definitely something going on with Wendy though and I wonder if the reunion will shed light on it.

Page Six is reporting that the RHONY OGs Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and Ramona Singer have inked a deal for a new show on E! (which is no longer part of the NBCUniversal family and was spun off recently to a new owner): https://pagesix.com/2026/01/30/entertainment/original-rhony-cast-defects-from-bravo-with-new-show-for-rival-network/

She was brilliant in everything she did. I am so sorry to hear this news. She was a blessing and Canada was so proud of her.

I'm surprised that DAYS did not get nominated. I thought the writing for the episodes surrounding John's death was excellent.

This episode was wild. I loved production showing what a disorganized fool Angel is. That flying fishing lunch she had planned never made sense when you factored in the time to travel back to the airport. What a mess! I cannot imagine her returning. Karen will be welcomed back with open arms. I just hope she plays her cards right like Lu did. That has to be it because she was the exact opposite of a skilled hostess.

DAYS: Fan favourite returns
I think Louise as a special guest star for limited runs works perfectly for her as she's based in New York, and for the show. She gets to play real scenes and no filler. The show's filming schedule is efficient in that they can get a lot of episodes out of 1 - 2 weeks of on set time for the actor. From your lips to God's ears...they're really overdue and Lauren and Louise are terrific together.
