The Daytime Emmys have not been relevant in 25 years. Once Susan Lucci won in 1999, that was the beginning of the end. After about 2005 or so, they've been totally irrelevant. Nonetheless, I will watch the shitshow that it always is when streamed.

I agree with you there.

Shannon did not plead guilty. She plead 'no contest' in which she did not admit guilt, but did not fight the charges against her.

I totally agree. I think the sentence was the right one and the judge in Karen's case saw the situation for what it was, an entitled woman who'd never been held accountable and surrounded by 'Yes People,' so he threw the book at her. He forced her into sobriety for at least the duration of her incarceration, so at the very least, Karen will have had time to get real with herself. Shannon Beador has never been accountable either and her drunken behaviour on RHOC continues unchecked. She seemed awfully nervous about that polygraph. RH of London Another banger of an episode. Panthea continues to be a miserable hag stuck in her late 2010s peak. She will regret coming for Karen. Nessie must be renting that house on a long lease, right? I can't wait for Caroline to stir things up with Juliet "Back to Paddington!" Angus and have lunch with Dorinda.

I'm consistently cheering on Marysol and Alexia. Stephanie and that damn plane of hers is exhausting to endure. She is such a 'pick me' with short man syndrome. Plus, her hair looks like it's made of concrete. I can't help but be happy for Karen. She did more time than Shannon Beador, who literally drove into a house. I hope she's learned something. 6 months of forced sobriety, I can hope, has helped her.

Nothing for Lauren Koslow...sigh. No wonder I didn't feel like tuning in.

RHOP Agree with @Taoboi that Karen will appear in the midseason trailer - there are too many allusions to being behind bars for her not to. RHOM Stephanie is exhausting. I can't wait for the bankruptcy/lawsuit/divorce. RHOC It appears that Katie is a psychotic liar. She was proven a liar by Kiki Monique and then through the polygraph...the technician seemed disgusted with her capacity to lie. I can't blame the rest of the cast for icing her out.

They keep filling the show up with high priced actors while failing to write for the ones they already have. Y&R is becoming The Love Boat - full of special guest stars.

It always blows me away how thin the actors are in reality when they look a bit more 'normal' on the show. That damn camera really does add 10 lbs.

That's how I feel. Her crimes have many real victims who will never recover from what she did to them. SLC has thrived without her. I think it would hurt the show a great deal if she returned.

I wish Karen so well. I hope her time behind bars has humbled her and given her the time to get sober and confront the issues at the root of her drinking. I also hope Bravo has cameras up and ready in Potomac for her arrival home.

A recast for Mackenzie would be inspired. She would pair up with Jason Thompson's Billy very well. And if she could work with Jess Walton for some Jill/Mac friction, it would be electric. But the show can't write/produce for its existing cast, so I won't hold my breath.

I watched the first two episodes today and I was delighted with the show. It gives strong Melbourne energy and that's a major compliment. I've often found that the very top tier of the RH universe is the international editions, unburdened by Bravo. This show is no different in that regard. The production values were so good. They invested real money in making London shine and these women, for the most part, have the bucks to back it all up. The moment Karen Loderick-Peace mentioned, with total reverence, that Joan Collins lives around the block from her...it was love. I concur 100% with @Cat's assessment of the show and the cast. I certainly know Groom Place well and Caroline and Karen are definitely living in the best postcode in Great Britain. I think Caroline is softer than she appears on first glance, especially in the scene with her stepdaughter. Karen is fabulous and open minded. I think Panthea has the potential to be really grating, really quickly. The crack about her peaking in the 2000s rang very true. As well as the remark about her living in Mill Hill...while her quiet obsession with wanting to emulate where the Royal Family sent Princes William and Harry to boarding school (Eton) is so tacky. Her mother seemed like a nightmare. That she was bringing up an issue with Juliet M from 6 years, pre-Covid...yikes. Agreed about Juliet M and Nessie. Early days but both seem pleasant. Juliet A will be the tacky bull in a china shop that she always is. But I think Caroline will destroy her without breaking a sweat.

Gotta love that corporate synergy - I'll hand it to CBS that they rarely miss an opportunity to cross promote with ET. The permanent sets and the permanent lighting will make production so much easier and more cost effective, hopefully freeing up budget for the occasional set that has to be put up and taken down as storyline dictates.

I found this tour the most useful because you can see how they're able to have so many more permanent sets and to have the design room, reception, Eric's office, and showroom all connect to each other continuously, shows the physical depth of the studio space.

Yes, I'd like A Murder Between Friends to finally find a place to air - why a streamer hasn't picked it up, as far as I know, boggles me. The Bitter End has wrapped filming. I really hope it brings to Dame Joan what she wants.

I enjoyed Loni so much and was so sad to hear about her passing. So many of her peers, Morgan Fairchild and Donna Mills among them, all said how kind and terrific she was. I’ll fondly think of her as Will Ferrell and Chris Katan’s mother in A Night at the Roxbury and as Denise Richard’s devious mother on Melrose Place. May her memory be a blessing.

Yes, Matt Rogers does solo interviews and has a show he tours (The Prince of Christmas). I actually enjoy him more than Bowen...

It's interesting to see Sherry Lansing on the board of directors. She was the former chairman of Paramount Pictures, the first woman to do so, and was also head of production at 20th Century Fox. She is the definition of a veteran Hollywood power player.

She also put her hair up in a “late 90s Jill chignon” For the garbage scenes they give her, I would not want to fly into LA either.

Preach! She was wasted this month after some good numbers in May and June.

Delightful news for the cast, crew, and the fans.

She certainly did. She was definitely a legend. RIP legend.

I'm so pleased and relieved - it's the best franchise on air! They're pulling in over 1.5 million viewers between TV and streaming, with the vast majority from streaming.

ATL Yawn. This reunion episode was about as filler as I've ever seen.
