I can't believe that Kim is joining this ratchet show given her background. I thought she was doing well directing TV shows?

She had it during them filming the season but that had no part in her being a full cast member. Seems like production was always going to phase Mariah out regardless.

Yep. And Lizzie currently has one for RHOC. Only "friend" that's ever played a pivotal role on a housewife season and never given a profile was Marlo back in s4 of RHOA, and that says something.

I don't see Mariah being used in the same capacity as a recurring housewife. Don't forget, M2M is a whole different beast. Furthermore, Mariah doesn't even have a profile on Bravo's site. Every recurring wife that plays a pivotal role in story for that season always has a profile. I see Mariah getting a good 4-5 episodes this entire season before they toss her aside.

Has anyone post the classic clip of Don/Marlena on here?

Well Dean dying is not going to sweep Shirley's acts under the rug for me. Hell, I never really cared for Shirley that much anyways. I always felt that after Heather was killed and Ben was revealed as the murderer, she should've left the Square. Never bought her and Phil together that much except for at times when she'd give Phil a dose of his own medicine. The Carters are just too isolated for me to care about them. And when they do reach out and have relationship (now), it feels forced. They just don't mesh well with me.

I think Nola gave it to Lillian one time, but I'd imagine that Nola didn't give it to Lillian so much as everyone in Springfield (especially Vanessa) had pounced on her previously. But again, it was refreshing that Ed caught some heat as he did really drive Maureen to her death (as Nola stated). I always felt Ed got off easy for crap that he did.

Well it doesn't help when the actor believes it too. They've in so many words made Danny Dyer a leader on the show when he doesn't even have tenure.

Katie isn't even an official friend as she doesn't have a profile on Bravo. She was supposed to be an official housewife but b/c her husband, Josh Hamilton (a famous baseball player) had an alleged drug lapse, her footage with him got cut tremendously. Lizzie filmed the whole season as housewife, but she personally chose to step down as an official housewife. She wanted to focus on her businesses and family and being an official housewife, which entails promoting the show heavily, would interfere. She has said that she will be heavily featured throughout the season. She'll be like Porsha was to ATL or Luann was to NYC previous seasons. And speaking of RHOC: I'm finding this season to be boring. Vicki is becoming distant from the group. Shannon is becoming more erratic. I'm over Pleather trying to shove her money down the audience's faces. Meghan annoys me. Trailer Sue is being phony so she'll come off well this season. We're only three episodes in and I am over it. Hopefully, it'll change down the road. RHONY: Tonight gave me Scary Island teas. Instead of deluded Kelly, we have deluded Sonja. Watching Bethenny comment on all the madness felt like all times. All we were missing was Alex and Jill. That alone would've made this experience perfection. Ramona was a hoot tonight. Her in those heels and that bikini had me laughing. Ramona should never squat in heels. She looks awkward. Bethenny v. Kristen early on was pathetic (on Kristen's part). Kristen needs to realize that Bethenny is a roller coaster ride that she is too short on ride on. Bethenny will drag her from here to west Hell. I enjoyed Bethenny trying to get to Sonja but it won't help in the end. Instead of Sonja facing the truth, she'll do what she always does and play victim. Can't wait till next week to see the rest of the sh-t show when Dorinda and Heather lock horns and Sonja further loses her sh-t.

I LOVED Nola giving Ed grief over his tryst with Lillian. I always felt that he did get off a hell of a lot easier than Lillian did.

Thanks, Paul Raven! I didn't know that Stephen retired from soaps too! I wish that Nancy and Stephen would return back to the genre. They are sadly missed and I know that those two could do wonders with Y&R.

Thank God. Only time I wanna hear about Vicki in this thread is when Andy finally hears my plea and casts her cray-cray ass on RHOA.

She better get a Julia's Theme when she exits. There are so many worthless characters in the past decade that got a Julia's Theme on their exit when it wasn't necessary or deserved.

Yes. Let's not bring that up in here. Start it's own thread, plz.

Oh OK. Thanks! Guess she has to be there for dull ass Sonia awhile longer.

*sighs* Why? I feel like if Porsha got two seasons (well three) then every new housewife should at least be guaranteed a second chance. I'm sure Nene had some hand in this but I just hope whoever takes Claudia's spot is twenty times worse than she was and she gives it to Nene at all times.

Wow. That sucks. I actually enjoyed Carol. Not shocked though. Writing has been on the wall for a second. So does that mean she is leaving when Liam goes?

Anita Dobson is giving me posh realness in that promo.

Possibly. But what was the highest number of Reardons on the canvas at once? What five? Nola, Maureen, Jim, Tony, and Bea?

Would've been nice if Reva would've at least had a little throwaway line of shade towards Lesley Ann about her shady past and her messing with Josh. But I doubt Pam Long did it. From what I've collected, Lesley Ann's time was nearing to an end. I guess because I am not enjoying any soap today 100%, all these classic clips and episodes of soaps are appeasing me. Crappy stories and all. Even though Jennifer seems like an idiot for not realizing Mark is using her (and she seemed very astute in other story arcs I've seen of her), it's still entertaining. But it is the Carrie arc and the Reardons that are keeping me entertained in these recent 1982 episodes. I've always wondered how the Reardons is one of the few soap families that just blended well on the canvas and was well-received while most soap families are met with scrutiny. But when you have Lee Lawson and Lisa Brown playing them, I'd love them too. Heck I do and this was a bit before my time.

So I take it you didn't care for Josh trying to come between Morgan and Kelly along with him knowing about Lesley Ann's past as a hooker in Tulsa? I wonder did Reva ever know or bring up Lesley Ann....?

Aww. See I love how British actors over any caliber show love for their soaps and their stars. Makes me somewhat envy how our soap actors are treated, which is like smut.

So Roxy and Dean had sex? Roxy is such a trollop. I really wish they'd do more with the character then having her be the Square's top whore. I swear she's had the same story every years since her inception. And once again, I hate that they made Dean into a rapist. I truly do. I just wish they would've brought Chelsea back for him.
