I watched and found it very unevenly produced. The Bad What amazes me is the producers do not make clip packages about various themes like they used to - that costs virtually nothing but adds so much to the feel of the show. The clip packages that were made, for each of the nominated shows for Best Drama Series, were absolutely awful. As well, the music used when each winner took to the stage was awful. I was very disappointed for Aaron Spears to not win Supporting Actor. His scenes were very good. The same for Kimberlin Brown. I dislike her politics intensely, but her work stands on its own. The Good The Memoriam was easily the best they've ever done. Susan Lucci was class personified introducing the Memoriam. She looked beautiful and it was clear she felt the emotions very strongly given her recent loss. It was a nice touch for Helmut to be included. As I had said in his thread on this site, he was easily the most famous soap star's spouse...even a casual viewer of AMC knew who he was. I thought the choice of song was good, Michael Bolton's performance was good, and the photos for each remembrance were tasteful. The hosts, Kevin and Nischelle, did a good job in a thankless role, much better than Mario and Sheryl who'd done it poorly for years. Happy for John McCook's win. John Aniston's lifetime achievement award tribute was also nicely done. Given he is only appearing on DAYS while seated, I wasn't all that surprised he wasn't there to accept it. Suzanne Rogers did a very gracious job paying tribute to him.

I hadn't watched Y&R in months, but I've tuned in to see Jill and she, Diane, and Imani are a jolt of energy into this show.

I've tuned in to see Jill in that sequin suit - has she tangled with anyone in any episodes I've missed? Susan Walters has energized this show - great scenes yesterday and today.

I am loving this season - do the ratings bear it out or is it lower than usual?

They've been married over 13 years...he is playing this all wrong. She's going to wear his nuts for drop earrings by the time the divorce is over.

RHOBH You've gotta hand it to them, these broads know how to put on a great show. Kyle: The Supreme has fallen and I think she might know it. Whatever face work she's recently had has also aged her. Or it's wearing off. Whatever it is, the mask is slipping in more ways than one. Dorit: I am now rolling my eyes at her and side eye her trauma. The comment about Sutton not 'warning' her that there would be cameras at her fashion launch party? Please. Once you start airing your therapy sessions on TV you are fair game for any and all criticism. Garcelle: The Supreme has risen. Garcelle knows what it takes to make a good show and she's delivering. Sutton: I like that she's holding firm on having moved on and isn't playing into the game of digging up the past. She is not falling into the trap. Crystal: This was not a good week for her. Not a good look. You're either going to say it or you're not. And if you're not, don't complain about it. Erika: Still a succubus. Not missed at Sutton's party. Diana: She brings nothing to the show other than a Dollar Store Gabor Sister Vibe. Rinna: Sad that Lois passed away. May her memory be a blessing. RH of Dubai I gave up 25 minutes in. Boring. Didn't like any of the women. Feels like UAE propaganda.

Same. It is remarkable how consistent production is in highlighting how stupid she and Ralph seem to be. Very good point. It's perhaps a bit of Column A and a bit of Column B. Sheree has always had delusions of grandeur, but production usually edited episodes so we laughed with her, rather than at her.

BH Rinna is a shameless attention whore. When Sutton whipped out those receipts all she did was shrug because she knew she'd been caught red handed in her lie. Kyle is disgusting. Loyal to no one. The way she hurled Sutton under the bus in the car with Dorit and PK. Diana doesn't impress me. That face of hers has shape shifted over the last couple of decades... Good for Garcelle for getting up and leaving. Good for Sutton for telling Erika to f*ck herself and shut the f*ck up. She is not intimidated by that sow.

I've just watched the reveal episodes and Kimberlin has this ability to cast a dark shadow over her face...her expression totally changes and she inhabits this darkness. It's kind of incredible. Krista Allen was really good in the moment where Taylor thunders "YOU KNEW!" to Sheila...considering she's a late in the character's run recast, she's got the character nailed down.

RHONJ Teresa is demented. Throw a straight jacket on her and lock her up in the psych ward. The woman is a lunatic. When Luis whispered to her "If you love me you will calm down" I had to conclude that he knows exactly what he's dealing with. When Andy said "Teresa is on another 'Teresa Go 'Round' I had to conclude that production knows Teresa doesn't make sense anymore and she's totally illogical. The rest of the women know it too. The husbands know it too. The looks on everyone's faces when Luis said "Thank you, Margaret" and "I agree with everything [Margaret] said" and when he gave Margaret a hug as he walked offstage...Bill, Joe G, Joe B, Melissa...it was palpable. Luis said, repeatedly, that Margaret isn't to blame for anything and that it was all out there and that he can see that she was trying to give him an 'out' and get ahead of the story. That should have been the end of the discussion. But Teresa would not be swayed. She's become hard to watch because she takes zero accountability and doesn't seem to have a firm grasp on reality.

Sheree pinned her down and annihilated her without breaking a sweat. Drew is not bright and she struggles to match anyone verbally. Ahem, those are the Josh Flagg and Tracy Tutor from Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles. They're both lots of fun. Josh is friends with lots of older Los Angeles socialites that make Kyle look the realtor's wife from the wrong side of Bel Air that she is...

Flip to the second photo for the actual screenshot of the text LVP sent to PK:

Totally understand, but they could have easily written in former cast members in new parts (Joan as Blake's mother for a guest shot, for example) as a nod to the past.

BH You've got to hand it to the Beverly Hills ladies, they know how to do a season opener... Dorit: you never know what's real and what's fake with her and PK. Some of it seemed rehearsed, but as @j swift said that might simply be a result of having to retell the story to the police, the ladies, PK, and then the cameras. Or not. EJ Global: a foul succubus. Kyle: I really don't enjoy any scenes with her family. I just don't find them charming in the slightest. Rinna: totally agree with @Gray Bunny that long sleek hair confessional look is excellent. However, she continues to grate and I have yet to see her have a storyline of her own in years. Garcelle: fabulous. That is all. Sutton: I thought it was such a bad look for her to be dismissive about Dorit, even if she thinks it's all a scam. That is the ammunition someone like Kyle dreams of using. Crystal: I like that she installed a pizza oven in her basement.

I thought it was awful and such a slap in the face that none of the original cast were involved, so I won't mourn this one at all.

Erika remains absolutely awful and unrepentant and full of sh*.

For me, Y&R will always own this category because its sets stood the test of time and only in the last decade, as new producers came in with their own 'vision' were some of those timeless sets destroyed. Y&R has the advantage of being based in California. The NYC based soaps always had to make do with limited space and they all did very well. The Chancellor mansion, the Newman Ranch, the Abbott mansion, Gina's restaurant, the GC Athletic Club Rooftop, Victor/Diane's penthouse (now that was a stunning set with multiple shooting angles), Jill's office, the Jabot boardroom, the GC Hospital (with room for an ambulance to drive in and for the doors to the ER to swing open)...up until 2010 or so there were very few dud sets. Y&R obviously invested a lot of money into their sets and it showed.

I love Kim Cattrall. A great interview for a great lady.

I've long been curious about whether certain actors have contracts that don't have guarantees - they're either paid a set salary regardless of how many they film or they have a deal where they come in and out of cycle and are unpaid.

This detail should never have been left on the cutting room floor. It is no wonder Heather et al hate Noella:

The B&B spoilers sound like the storyline has actually been planned out. I'm here for any Jill appearances on Y&R. If they have her tangle with Diane, even for one scene, all the better.

Very deserving recipient. I hope Victor's coterie of wives (Koslow, Chappell, Zuker, Sorel) are all able to pay tribute to him and that Jennifer Aniston is as well.

Yes, Lydia spread a rumour that Bruce was gay, and as Chyka and Bruce's business took them around the world, including doing events in homophobic countries, they were livid. It's also interesting that Lydia would spread a rumour like that...as if being gay is somehow a flaw, which is inherently itself a homophobic thing to do. I've never warmed to Lydia because I think there's a malevolent streak to her that I've never seen in any of the others, including Pettifleur who was just heinous and self absorbed like a black hole.
