Looking back now, Jabberjaw Heather isn't that bad. My only gripes with her was the fact that she stayed inserting herself in rivalries that didn't consist of her, and acting like she was 'hood.' Like girl, stop. Just like Bethenny said in s7, just b/c Heather worked with P. Diddy doesn't mean she's 'down.' I've never have nor will I ever see it for Kristen. I still think that she was a poor addition to the cast. I just do. I do hope that with the 10th season being around the corner that Bravo finally brings back Jill, Aviva, and even Heather in some capacity. They need to go all out for s10, which I am hoping RHOA does. It'd be a pity of this show does what the OC did and not bring some of its most popular characters back for the 10th season.

I miss when holidays on soaps meant something too. Now, they often seem hollow or just another day on most of these shows. Their Christmas closing tag also reminded me of ATWT's from 86 or 87 when the cast sung Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas too.

@DRW50, I was happy for this little nugget of audio from the Keith Whitney era. I've been saying on here for awhile now that I'd give a limb to see a portion of that era of the show. The audio is good enough. I hope there is more to come.

Billy, Katie/Craig/Margo's nephew, wasn't bad. I actually thought his affair with Jen was good. Just killing off Bryant was stupid. Putting him a coma would've been a better result than getting rid of him. Plus, I hate how we had to lose Todd Rotondi's sexy ass in the process. I think the primary issue with ATWT's younger set was that none of them had ambitions. Most of them were like ships w/o rudders. They just wandered about endlessly with no purpose. The only time they'd get stories were if it consisted of them getting pregnant or wanting kids. It would've been so much more interesting to see the younger set have stories that young characters ought to be involved in--sex, scandal, and finding themselves.

Ugh. Take that back. I don't want him anywhere near Ste's whiny ass. Ste is one character I still don't get why he's alive. With all the stunts and serial killers that go through that village, one should've picked his ass off by now.

Is this gonna lead to nude scene w/ my baby, Duncan James?

Looks like the Director of the NSA has damning memos of Trump too...

Well that's because Goutman didn't care about the show's history, and JP only cared out creating her own dopey characters.

But all this talk about the young adult generation of ATWT makes me mad all over again b/c that show did so much detriment to those characters those last 5 years that it was criminal.

I posted awhile back that Eddie's sexuality is supposed to play a pivotal role next season. It's gonna be questioned from what I've read. Also, there is alleged audio of TamRat proposition a married man (from back in 2010) about wanting to give him a blowjob that is supposed to be be a big story too. Basically, TamRat is about to get her comeuppance if these rumors are true.

Good for him that he's still acting and has gotten married with kids.

That's nice to hear. Why you gotta shade him like that?

Alison was great her original run. When they brought her back as a coke headed hooker, I was too done. That was regressive for the character to do that. That was something I could believe her doing early on during the Jessica Dunphy era but not anytime afterwards. Casey should've ended with Maddie or just went off to school to get his degree in law all alone. Does Agim Kaba even act anymore?

Hell no! In my opinion, Allison should've ended alone by the end of the show. I was pissed that poor Casey got saddled with her in the end. Allison, much like Lily, needed to end up alone to find her true self. She was a character that was too reliant on a man. I'd add Katie to the list of being another character that should've ended up alone too. I do agree that this show stupid wasted Agim Kaba back in 2007. He had dreadful story after dreadful story. Watching him pine after Sofie Duran and then that flop story with Dani/Chris/Allison/Aaron was a mess. I so hate how Agim Kaba and Dylan Bruce were tossed aside after that mess of story wrapped.

Potomac: The show actually came into it's own tonight. Tonight's episode was a defining episode for this franchise. Karen's story was powerful and is one that needed to be heard. I've grown to love Karen this season, but tonight solidified it. I think by her being honest and vulnerable, she has given a platform for others who have been raped and sexually assaulted a voice to come out and speak their truth. I hate that her assailant didn't receive his punishment and instead died w/o being prosecuted. Just goes to show that all occurrences like this don't end up with a pretty bow wrapped up tight. When it comes to Robyn, she is totally channeling her anger towards Juan into Ashley. While Ashley deserves some of the heat she is getting, Robyn needs to hone her anger towards her true target. Watching Juan badmouth her to production offscreen was cringeworthy too. It is gonna be so awkward watching her and Juan discuss this at the reunion when they are still shacking up to this day! This show is actually starting to come into its own this season. It isn't too toxic or dark. It's actually refreshing. Kind of like a nod to old school housewives when the rivalries were stupid but lighthearted. I need BH, ATL, OC, and NJ to take note.
