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.

Absolutely. This applies to the cast as a whole, much as they’d like to pin it on Marlo, it’s the entire cast who lack chemistry and it all feels so produced.

ATL This season is rough and production knows it. When we see them doing editing tricks to give Kenya demon eyes, and editing the footage of the women packing up their bags and getting Uber Eats like it’s a late 90s R&B video you know they’re in big trouble. Kenya’s non storyline with that halftime show was such a flop. I’d have respect for her if she powered through and did it, but no she went off and got a chest X Ray that showed she’s fine. At least when Vicki Gunvalson melodramatically goes to the ER it has comedic value. Speaking of tired storyline, Kandi should be careful because I cannot imagine anyone gives a f*ck about Mama Joyce continuing to hate Todd for the last decade, plus. Time to get cameras on Wigs & Cigs and Nene to try and save this franchise.

I love the uncensored versions. That moment was the highlight for me. Part 2 was just as good as Part 1. This is a reunion that's delivering.

Kim was obviously paid a fortune and given script approval. There is no way she did it without it. Good, she deserves it.

Bill and Lee's 'weekend cottage' Yes. Her Bel-Air mansion is very close to where Brad and Bill Jr.'s are. She bought her neighbours house for $10.5 million some years ago only to demolish it, expand her backyard, and build a guest house. And she has 2 homes in the Malibu Colony. One on the beach side and one on the land side.

I really agree with the bold. I like Kandi a lot, but she has swept anything under the carpet that she doesn't like. I am a believer that if people want to be on these shows then they should be prepared for their lives to be exposed out in the open. Otherwise, Kandi is boring to me and I really don't want to have another season of Todd complaining about how busy she is. I disagree about Marlo though. I enjoy her. What I saw her doing with Drew was saying, 'why aren't you saying on camera that it's a shooting because that's what it was' because of her personal gripe with Kandi over her relative's death...Marlo is over the top when it comes to dealing with everything, but at least she's giving us something to watch. Kenya remains a really ugly hearted bitch. When she admitted that the football game is sponsored by her haircare company I had to laugh. She's literally producing her own storyline. Zero organic with this one. Drew's marriage imploding needs to happen fast.

Tina, Cher, and Elton John doing Proud Mary in 1999. You can spot Susan Lucci, her daughter Liza, and Helmut Huber at 3:55...

The thing is the children all had their own homes that were equally as luxurious, if not more so. Lee's home in Malibu is the one on which the original Forrester beach house was modeled. It's located in the Malibu Colony. Lauralee has a home in the same community just up the street. Brad's Malibu home is the exterior used for Steffy's house with Finn. Barbara Streisand is his next door neighbour.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has posted a birthday video in tribute to Joan:
