- Was Robyn Griggs still acting then? Would she even opt to do a P&G soap again after word that she and AW came to a bad ending over rumors of her ties to John Wayne Bobbit? - I never took Bill as an earthy character. Bill still had power (thanks to his last name), which I feel puts him in the category with the men with power that Olivia was drawn to. And I just wish they would've left Olivia as a straight women b/c it was an insult to the LGBTQ community to watch that drivel that was Otalia. I grew tired of watching them pet each other and profess their love while everyone else had sex. It was obvious they did this pairing to gain attention, but never took things further. - I would've preferred Michelle to have been the one to step out the marriage and preferably with Bill. I'm a MANNY fans but I would've been OK with them divorcing. I was a logical enough MANNY fan that I realize couples need to be broken for individual characters to grow and explore other things. It was plenty of time to reunite them before the end. - Sorry but I doubt Sarah Brown would be asking anywhere near what JVD's salary was. JVD was at GL for decades. And I've never believed that GL got rid of JVD for budgetary reasons. I've always believed it strictly had to do with story. Those hacks just had no idea what to do with Ross and preferred their own creations over a long time character we cared for. - Again, I couldn't get behind Edmund/Cassie. They had chemistry but he drugged her and locked her in tower almost killing her. I just can't get past that...

Damn! I just hope the turnout remains strong (or even stronger) for Ossoff in June.

Again, I just think that P&G slapped her on the wrong show. I'm racking my mind who she could've played (legacy character-wise) that would've helped meshed her into the canvas more. Maybe Don & Mary's daughter? Or possibly a SORASed Dani? Possibly a Nikki Munson recast? I just think out of the P&G shows, GL would be more up her speed.

Oh OK. I knew I read somewhere that someone close to Liz was killed too. When it comes to Zane & Sally's deaths, do you think that this all was going down b/c DAYS and SB were both having successes in serial killer stories so AW followed the trend too? I think that has always been a problem with AW. When the AW marched to it's own beat, it was a success; however, when the show would jock successes from other shows, they'd pay dearly. Is that just me seeing this?

Who decided to even kill Sally? Seeing as the actor that played Catlin didn't last much longer after Sally was killed off, they should've just given Sally and Catlin their happy ending and written them off. From seeing everyone's commentary in the past on the Brittany story, it was obvious a flop by then. They should've scrapped it, sent Brittany off into the sunset, and allowed Sally a happy ending. Boggles my mind how this show spend the better part of the early to mid 80s offing Frames and Matthews left and right. Wasn't one of Liz's daughters killed in the early 80s? Or was it her granddaughter?

Then who would you have suggested to take over as Michelle? Holly was partially liable for Jenna's death, but it was a mistake. Had Jenna been upfront about Jeffrey from the start, she wouldn't've caused everything, which resulted in both their deaths. I enjoyed Coop, and thought Driscoll was a fine actor. I just think that he needed a good leading lady. Ava nor Ashlee were it. I liked him with Beth b/c it was scandalous and messy to watch Beth bed her ex-foe, Harley's, baby brother. Harley's presence was so needed during the climax of their affair and fallout. I wish they would've recast Harley after Beth Ehlers left. I understood Olivia being attracted to Frank b/c he was a stark contrast from the previous men she been with. He was more earthier and down to earth. I think if written right, they could've been something big. Adding Buzz was just disgusting. Olivia liked older men (Alan), but I don't see how my girl would settle for that simp (Buzz). Y'all are gonna leave my Manny alone! GusH could've never be as great as them! Reva & Josh should've never gotten divorced the last time. IMO, they should've stayed together to the bitter end and their stories should've been shifted to Dylan, Marah, Shayne, and Jonathan, who all should've been brought back permanently. Sarah Brown went to DAYS and they've been working with a shoestring budget since about 2010. GL could've afforded her then if they wanted too. Plus, GL still had a budget in 2005, which is when LW left the role. I agree that Edmund was good when he had dark material, which (IMO) was during the San Cristobal arc. After that arc ended, Edmund became too slapstick and mustache twirling for me. Yes, he and Cassie were a good couple, but I could never forget how Edmund did Cassie, hence why I couldn't toss my full support around them. Edmund returning the final time with a retcon daughter who died offscreen was just stupid. I didn't care for her at all. I just wish that if they were gonna bring Edmund back, it was to serve as an interloper for Cassie's latest romance, which I wish was with Frank. I always wanted Frank to find love and possibly with Cassie. It would've been interesting to see Olivia react to her ex and business partner shacking up. I'd like to think that Olivia wouldn't've taken it lightly.

That's nice to know that Rauch and Labine asked them back. I do think that Labine could've possibly written for Nola--her quirkiness and all. I think SB could've been a good Cassie had it been early, gritty, scrappy Cassie again as @victoria foxton pointed out. I couldn't digest the drip of a person they made Cassie when Nicole Forrestor played her.

RHOBH: Kim has me rolling right now. I love how she ate Rinna's ass up tonight. It was very much well deserved. She used Kim as a story for 3 years now, and I loved how Kim finally got to get the upper hand and unwind on her. When Rinna started the sob story... It didn't help matters even more that Eileen tried to scold people with her piss poor points. Rinna had to eat crow in that moment and answer for her wrongdoings. Eileen should've shut up and sat back. PK is the MVP of the night. I enjoyed when he flat out told Erika he's not apologizing to Tom. Why should he? Erika should've worn panties. Her faux pas is her mistake. Stop wearing scantily clad sh*t around these people OR cross your legs better. I think that thanks to PK being on the reunion too, people finally got to see how vile Erika is. PK and Dorit apologized to her sufficiently and she still couldn't accept it. Glad that Andy called her ass out this reunion too even though I'm sure it pained him. Poor Eden. Just a pawn in Rinna's destructive game. I hate how Kim directed her venom at Eden when it all should've been on Rinna. Also, Kyle is such a damn liar. One, she lied about the Dorit situation when she salivated over Dorit buying those panties and wanting to give them to Erika; she thought it was hilarious! LVP came to the rescue again by calling Kyle out, and of course, Kyle got aggressive and moaned instead of "owing it" (in my LVP voice). Kyle was nasty to Eden from the start. It was obvious that she didn't want Eden in the group/the show. Here's a sneak peek of next week with LVP discussing Max:

That would've been a good casting choice, but I doubt any of the writers from the last ten years even knew who poor Nola was. If it wasn't Reva & Harley, they didn't care. I loved Richard! I enjoyed Edmund too but he was too slapstick. I'm sorry but I hated how they made Olivia into an insta-lesbian. I missed man eating, plotting and scheming Olivia.

Gus & Harley were just too righteous for me. Gus was OK early on as a prick but the second he became preachy, I was over it. That's what I miss with soaps--those supporting characters that knew their place. I did want Frank to be tossed in Cassie's orbit though. It would've been so much better than having her chase Josh, who was obvious still in love with Reva. I wish they would've brought India back too to terrorize Alex one last time, and to pawn her daughter, Dorrie, off on a young Spaulding man much like India did with Phillip decades before. It would've been funny to see Alex fret over India being in her family again.

In all honesty, who are they gonna pair Robbie with? Carmel might be the only choice as he's either related to most of the women on the Square.

Frank was the one I didn't mind b/c at least he stayed playing his position, which was to be a supporting character. I didn't mind Lucy, but it did p*ss me off when they tossed Alan Michael in her orbit b/c they feared how fans would react to Gilly and Alan Michael. Harley was my favorite but learning of Beth Ehlers backstage antics tarnished the character for me. Plus, I never was a Gus/Harley fan. Gus annoyed me to no end, & Harley was annoying around him. Harley's best pairing was always Phillip if you ask me... I adored Coop. I just hate how they paired him in two sh*tty romances back to back--that boring drip Ava & vile Ashlee. I did enjoy him and Beth, and I hated when they killed him off. Never cared for Buzz except for when he was with Jenna, and that was b/c I loved Jenna. I grew tired of Justin Deas' excessive screaming in scenes. I can still remember holding my ears in pain when Buzz learned Nadine was dead. Deas was so over the top with that scene...

This was my main gripe with many of the show's head writers in the last decade of the show. It's like they all were obsessed with the Coopers and thought they were the greatest things since sliced bread while all the other families in Springfield were expendable. Mainly the Bauers. Still criminal how the Bauers were reduced to nothingness in the show's final years.

I have the same sentiments. Juan is practically using Robyn b/c he knows she isn't going anywhere. He'll dibble and dabble on the side but with never commit to Robyn again b/c he knows she'll always be there. She needs to set an example and give him an ultimatum--either fix their marriage or break ties.

Speaking of Robyn, I need her to: 1. Get those unruly children in check. I cringed watching those children run amok in the dentist office. I would've given them both a swift kick in the ass. 2. Get over Juan. It is obvious that this man does not want you, but knows that you'll be there to take care of him. The second that Robyn stops being a doormat is the second that Juan will get a rude awakening.

Would you consider the moment with Jennifer to be low-brow or a strong, character-driven moment of the show?

Just scandalous. But if this was all supposed to occur 4 years ago then why didn't Leanne flip on Dawn until now? RHOA: I am so glad that Andy has finally taken the blinders off when it comes to Phelony. He threw shade at her twice and I loved it. When Phaedra threw that dig at Kenya about her having sex with Matt in the back of the truck, I giggled. Why might you ask? B/c isn't Phaedra the same chick that was sneaking to the hood to have sex with Apollo on an air mattress while he was donning an ankle monitor? Gosh, I wish Kenya would've tossed that right back in Phaedra's face. When Porsha uttered that women should celebrate her going to anger management, I laughed again. Why should anyone celebrate that you've finally grown up and can conduct yourself like an adult? Girl, bye. Sheree v. Kenya is tired and old. I am glad that Moore Manor v. Chateau Sheree is dead and buried. Don't bring it up again. I'm especially tired of Phaedra trying to sell this story that Kenya was Apollo's side-chick. She wasn't. It was obvious he was boinking his fiance then as he slipped and said they've known each other for "four years." All of these women need to stop slut shaming b/c they all get around. All of them (minus Kandi) will pop their puss for profit. Good start to the reunion. RHOP: I like Gizelle but she continues to show that she is hater and is jealous of Monique. I'm sure she seems very silly now seeing that Monique's life isn't as great as it appears to be. Moving on to Monique, I don't think this marriage is gonna last. The fact that his mother utterly loathes Monique is troubling. A son that loves his mother to death will always pick his mother in the end. Monique needs to tread lightly.

Why do all the gay couples on HollyOaks have to be seedy? I mean I appreciate that they all aren't squeaky clean but Jesus. All the LGBTQ relationships on this show are toxic.

What I am wondering is how long has Dawn owed Leanne money? I also wanna hear the husbands' views on this matter too. However, I am sure they can't speak on it legally. Dawn is a pure train wreck. From the assault matter with Sinitta to this ... she is a mess! I honestly believe that if they brought Magali back, she'd lose it!
