Joan also wrote this tribute column to Michael, which is running in the Daily Mail and MailOnline: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9934097/As-actor-played-Dynastys-Dex-Dexter-dies-DAME-JOAN-COLLINS-relives-chemistry.html

My message to Ingo and anyone else who boldly says I am a bigot because I am against anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers:

No one should be publicizing this anti-vax fool.

That scene gives so much context as to why Sutton had to get a legal opinion. She was prepared to loan Erika money! How dare Erika treat her so appallingly after she was willing to go out on a limb for her, financially. This season of BH continues to be riveting because it is based in reality and the dark underbelly of LA. Dorit has blown it with the audience. I really didn't like who I saw in that moment with Garcelle. Garcelle wasn't about to let Dorit pull a fast one on her and she reacted swiftly and surely. It was great to see Crystal and Kathy have her back, even if Kathy was applying lipstick half the time, oblivious to what was going on. I really did believe that scene between Kathy and Kyle was genuine. Kathy doesn't articulate the hurt feelings that well, probably because she doesn't want to get into specifics, but the pain was there.

What an idiot and terrible human being.

I totally agree with you. Between Leah, Eboni, and Bershan, it is Bershan who fits in the best by a mile.

I think you're onto something, @Cat - Bravo should not proceed with a reunion. This season should never be mentioned again and totally ignored from cannon. In a lot of ways it is like the last season of OC, which sucked hard, and then Bravo decided to delay its filming and eventual release. The same should be happening with RHONY.

Just another photo of Michael and Joan. Joan picked Michael to play Dex. Their onscreen chemistry was electric and he always spoke of her with tremendous warmth, humour, and respect.

Nah, she's got the Emmy and the notoriety to prove whose role it is. If DAYS didn't run her so hard, she'd be happy to be there, but time and again they've exhausted her.

It's Eileen's role to play - anyone else is a placeholder.

Now THAT is a midseason trailer. RHOP is having a fabulous season which, after an epic previous season, is no small feat. Literally nothing happened. I found Eboni's story with her father to be the biggest letdown - we didn't even see a Zoom call. Just her leaving a voicemail! Nothing! The only upside was Sonja saying she'd destroyed a toilet and when she left her phone on and had a hot mic moment with Lu.

This is terribly sad news. Michael was a charismatic, magnetic performer. Both Dex and Dimitri were memorable characters and his chemistry with Dame Joan Collins and Susan Lucci was pitch perfect.

I think it's a great trailer and look forward to tuning in!

Totally agree. RHONY doesn't need subtractions from the cast. The Achilles heel of this season was the small cast and incredibly limited filming opportunities that felt as organic as a Monsanto pesticide field.

I agree. But even if that’s true that kind of cooperation would only protect her in a criminal sense. It would not absolve her from civil action, which is what Ron Richards is working on.

In Erika Is Legally Fu*ked News...

RHOP Ashley showed up and understood the assignment, as the kids say. She stirred up that episode like a churn through butter. And as quick as she appeared she was gone. The episode itself was just a slow burn until the last 10 minutes and then it exploded. Wendy ripped Gizelle to shreds - she was boiling with anger. Drawing on the past, stating what everyone had said about her was true, saying that she doesn't even have a relationship to speak of...To say that the life Gizelle is living now is God's way of getting her back for all her bull$hit was an epic putdown of biblical proportions. Gizelle sat bewildered, failing to realize that she'd done a bad thing and of course Robyn has to inject herself into the conversation, a bit buzzed on all that whiskey. Candy-Ass was there with her folded napkin at the ready to scold Ashley, but I enjoyed that Ashley basically shrugged it off. Karen wisely sat this one out. Her facial expressions and eyes widening as Wendy unloaded on Gizelle was perfect. She knew Wendy was going there. I look forward to next week when Mia gets in the mix and throws Gizelle under the bus by exposing some more lies.

Yep. Can you imagine spending $14,000,000.00 on American Express? And her lawyers are now trying to say that Erika isn't personally responsible for what EJ Global LLC did...except the law of unjust enrichment exists for this very reason. If Erika received any benefit from having those American Express bills paid, without a juristic reason for receiving that benefit, she owes that money back. Also, Tom has been disbarred: https://people.com/tv/tom-girardi-officially-disbarred-by-california-federal-court-state-disbarment-still-pending/

Not sure if this has already been posted and I've just missed it...but the bankruptcy trustee's lawyer has determine how EJ Global LLC spent $25 million: $14,259,012.84 was charged to an American Express card. Her company also spent $1,532,774.88 at the McDonald Selznick Associates Agency — which describes itself as “the first agency dedicated to represent dancers and choreographers exclusively” — and another $1,417,587.50 on unknown purchases. Jayne’s company also allegedly gave Stephanie Shepherd — formerly Kim Kardashian’s executive assistant — $102,596.77 and Opus Beauty — an agency that represents “best and most influential and sought after artists in the business” $17,415 from her LLC. Mario Dedivanoic, better known as Makeup by Mario, received $1,000. E5 Global Media — who publishes Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter — received $8,480, while the Los Angeles Times Magazine was paid $10,400. Jayne, 50, through her company, also appears to have paid various public relations groups high sums of money from the account among other charges.

Bill Bell was EP on the creative side in that he approved absolutely everything. But there was always another EP who was in the studio on the floor dealing with direction, how scenes were going (back when they did multiple takes and rehearsals), sets, actors etc. That is the role that Morina has been in, and that David Shaughnessy and Ed Scott were both in for many years.

That's my impression as well - is there any indication how many episodes are left in this awful season?
