Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake is hilarious. If anyone had any doubts about watching it, let go of those doubts and watch it. It felt so good to have our girls back in prime time where they belong.

You need a strong, fabulous, woman who is 40+ and who isn't necessarily the lead and can be parachuted into any storyline and instantly enhance it. DAYS: Kate Roberts B&B: Sally Spectra Y&R: Jill Abbott AMC: Marian Colby Chandler

Call my a cynic, but now this feels like storyline and a way to drum up interest. Until I see a divorce filing citing "irreconcilable differences" I have to be skeptical about Kyle. It would be just like her to create a scandal just to overtake the #Scandoval that gave LVP such a resurgence.

You can see the seed being planted as John looked jealous of Blade and Jill at his party.

The classic episode that airs July 4 is a really wonderful one. John, Mamie, Dru, Olivia, Neil, Brad, Jill, Rex, Kay - they’re all there.

They certainly were. I know Louise loved working with him and they remained friends.

A bit late to this one but what a beautiful property - most unusual to have a townhouse that wide in prime South Kensington.

No. Thankfully both of those boys are doing well. It was another one of Marlo's nephews who passed away several years ago from a shooting.

I so enjoyed the books she co-wrote with her mother, the famed Mary Higgins Clark, and the ones she did solo. The literary talent for writing suspense was in the genes. Very sad news - 66 is way too young to go.

Jerry's son is a 50/50 split between him and Kym.

Soap actors do not work under the same agreement that SAG/AFTRA is currently on the verge of striking about so they will be expected to continue to work and are not in breach of their union obligations by doing so. https://deadline.com/2023/06/soaps-actors-working-sag-aftra-strike-scripts-written-1235418533/

Yes, the Bell shows understood how minor/recurring characters added a sense of realism and layers to the atmosphere of the show.

LVP is launching her third restaurant with the Caesar's group. This one will be located in Lake Tahoe, on the Nevada side of the lake, and it will be known as Wolf by Vanderpump: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12191709/Lisa-Vanderpump-slated-grow-restaurant-empire-new-Lake-Tahoe-outpost-Wolf-Vanderpump.html This type of venture has to be far easier than what she's done with her Los Angeles restaurants where she was dealing with landlords and soaring commercial rents and all the direct management. I imagine she is not involved in any of the management and dealing with employees and the like. She simply licenses her name, creates the interiors, and assists in developing the menu.

NJ I do not see how production fires the Gorgas...they were logical and the vast majority of the cast is on their side. Luis and Teresa are such blatant liars. They call Gia to dispute Joe's allegation, then the moment they are backstage they say to Andy that Gia could have said what Joe claims, it's just that he misinterpreted it...knowing that there's every possibility their lies get exposed. The Bo Deitl stuff is so weird. The Frankie Jr. stuff is so weird. Luis is so weird. It will all end in ruin for Teresa. And she has it coming. Dolores was in panic mode when they were talking about Luis and Frankie Jr. She is usually so calm and it was strange to see her throw. Jennifer Ayden and Bill are either going to get a divorce very soon or they're fine. I don't know with them because a lot of their behaviour feels put on (especially Jennifer's praise for the state of their marriage now). Margaret and Jennifer seemingly burying the hatchet seemed to be an acknowledgment by both of them that they want to stay on this show and they know that if they don't get along one of them is getting the boot. I think Luis' threats to Margaret secured her spot for next season. John Fuda secured Rachel's spot for next season. I love that he would not flinch or back down even one iota. Luis should be concerned about him because John showed up at that reunion armed with facts.

And that was a short sighted action on Nene's part. By removing herself from the fabric of RHOA, she diminishes her relevance.

St. Barth's is known for having a harrowing landing for all planes because it's got a steep pitch down the base of a hill, with a mountain in front of it. I hope Bravo films every delicious second of this:

LVP is launching a new show called Vanderpump Villa which sounds like Below Deck on land and in a fabulous French villa. This one has a 10 episode order and airs on Disney owned Hulu: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/lisa-vanderpump-new-hulu-show-french-villa-1235510476/ Interesting that it is not airing on an NBC/Bravo/Peakcock property. LVP has done work with Disney before

NJ The reunion continues to be very ugly for Teresa. I don't think she realizes how poorly she's coming across and how truly unhinged Luis is. Luis' ex-fiance has obtained a temporary restraining order against him after she discovered that a patient of hers was actually an employee of Bo Dietl and it appears he was hired by Luis to investigate whether she was still romantically interested in him: https://pagesix.com/2023/06/06/luis-ruelas-ex-fiancee-files-restraining-order-against-him-for-stalking/ Jennifer Aydin did not convince me in the slightest about the state of her marriage. Dolores knows that a lot of this looks/is bad but she's hanging in there to keep the peace. When Theresa questioned why Dolores didn't tell her that Margaret called her, you could see her wheels turning that Theresa is going to flip out for being "disloyal" which is so farcical. I think Rachel showed up in this episode and it looks like her husband is also clocking in next week. Danielle, on the other hand, is too dumb to contribute. She now realizes she's been set up but likely doesn't have the backbone to deal with Theresa and Jennifer Aydin. Jenn Fessler's plastic surgery looks fabulous. OC Good start. It was light and easy breezy. The new girl is like a Femme Bot from Austin Powers and has that underbelly of messy family life and the boyfriend gives me pause. Great to see Tamra back. I like that she's smart. She and Eddie are living in the house from Season 8, I believe it was Eddie's original bachelor pad, that they'd kept as a rental property when they moved to their second house in Ladera, and then moved to Coto. I wonder how Heather will factor into the show given she's sold her massive house and now lives in an LA penthouse?

Those last 5 minutes were harrowing. I don’t have sympathy for her, but I do believe that lying destroyed her and ate up her soul. This season is Emmy worthy.

A few weeks post her landmark birthday and Joan emerges looking fabulous while out to dinner with friends:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/general-hospital-ingo-rademachers-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-suit-dismissed-1235508556/ The suit was dismissed on summary judgment. Ingo argued it violated his religious beliefs. The court disagreed.

That's how I feel. This comeuppance is a long time coming and she made her deal with the (Bravo) devil long ago to expose her life for entertainment.

The problem is I don't think many of the women have much going on. The show is their job, their friends don't want to be filmed, and most of them already feature what family they do have. Cigs & Wigs is a draw only because her life is imploding right now and it's ugly. It's not #Scandoval, but people would tune in for it. If Bravo doesn't have a camera crew following Kim around they've made a big mistake.

Debbi could also just play her Port Charles character Dr. Ellen Burgess. I think when she was written off she basically moved to a different city for a new job. I enjoy Walt and this kind of crossover guest stint makes sense. GH, AMC and OLTL were all within the same fictional universe, so it makes sense. I don't think Valentini will be able to resist an Erica mention.
