Well I would've wanted for Reva and Olivia's rivalry to reignite. How so? Marah. Marah, who was vacating with some friends in Switzerland [sam Spencer included], would've been involved in an accident--an avalanche. Sam would be killed trying to save Marah, and Olivia would be devastated and blame Marah for her brother's death. Hell, she blames Josh and Reva for trying to cover up for Marah too. It also does not help that Olivia is still co-running The Beacon with Cassie and allowing Lewis Construction [with Josh and Dylan] to redesign and add a new wing to the hotel. Marah, meanwhile, becomes depressed over Sam's death. She truly does feel guilty about his demise, so much that she secludes herself to her room. It isn't until Reva suggests to Cassie that Marah redesign The Beacon to get her mind over the tragedy that Marah decides to live her life and get back to work. But not if it's up to Liv! Olivia would want to make Marah's life hell and does so by blocking Cassie from hiring Marah, now a designer, from redesigning the Beacon Hotel. Olivia would eventually bend only to torture and guilt Marah at every turn. This would create tension between Cassie, who now wants to buy Olivia out altogether as she's becoming too toxic. Natalia and Olivia would begin to drift apart over Olivia's obsession for revenge. In the meantime, Josh, who is working on the hotel's construction, starts to receive notes with just a diamond on them. It isn't until Josh and Dylan find a diamondback rattlesnake in their trailer that he realizes it's the Diamondhead Organization, who was after him in the 80s. Josh becomes fearful of his family's security and opts to leave town but Reva is totally against it. They'll fight this battle together. But Jeffery, now back in Springfield, is not about to have his son put in danger. Reva assures Jeffery that nothing else will occur, and he leaves Reva with a grave threat--he'll file for sole custody if something else occurs. But of course something else occurs. An agent of Diamondhead plants a bomb in Olivia's office [upon hearing she was having a meeting with Josh over the designs]. As Olivia heads up the stairs to her office, the bomb goes off, and Olivia is sent tumbling down the stairs. No one is gravely harmed but Olivia does become paralyzed from the waist down. Having had enough, Jeffery pursues for custody but will drop the suit on one condition: Reva must move out of Josh's house and in with him. Josh pushes Reva to move in with Jeffery until he fixes the situation. But Josh has his hands full in another situation--Olivia. Josh feels guilty about inadvertently causing Olivia to be paralyzed that he asks her to move in with him to care for her until the Beacon is repaired. Natalia refuses to move in with Josh knowing it'll only create drama. With the rift being so big between Olivia and Natalia, Natalia leaves Springfield. Pissed that she has lost Natalia, Olivia turns her attention on Josh. She's going to punish all the Lewises. Marah for causing Sam's death. Josh for causing her to be paralyzed. And Reva for just being Reva. She plots to stick her claws back into Josh, which Shayne, Marah, and Reva quickly pick up on. Olivia becomes a pain while living with Josh, Shayne, and Marah. They wait on her every call and it becomes too much. For Marah the most. So much that one day she even demands that Marah wipe her a** after using the restroom, and Marah shoves her down the stairs, wheelchair and all. Marah moves out and finds board at the Reardon boarding house with J and Tom. Tom and Marah hit it off and begin a budding friendship that becomes more when Marah becomes a target Diamondhead. Marah would be kidnapped. Tom, Josh, Rusty, and Dylan would venture to Venezuela to save her, killing the head of the organization. Tom would be gravely injured, Marah would become distraught that she's losing someone else she loves. Tom eventually heals and he and Marah begin their new romance, but it is short-lived when Alan discovers that J snitched to Lizzie about Alan hiring them as spies in Spaulding. Other stories: Holly reclaims her producer position at WSPR. She hires Blake and Dinah as co-anchors on the news, sparking a feud between the two. Things get more complex when Holly hires a hot male co-anchor named Reginald. Dinah and Reggie join forces to get rid of Blake, who they both hate. Meanwhile, Dinah becomes a breakout star and gets mysterious notes from a crazed fan. He also starts to kill women that resemble Dinah. Mallet and Dinah would later figure out it was Holly's intern behind. Reginald becomes obsessed with bringing down Alan and continuously does scandalous exposes on him. Blake digs into Reginald's past and learns his mother is Rita and Alan is his father. Wanting her hands on his potential fortune and knowing he came to Springfield to screw over Alan, Blake would blackmail him into eloping. This would be a comedic story. Michelle would be driven to the bottle [as aforementioned] and it does not help that Danny is running for the DA's office against Jeffery. Her drinking spirals out of control and she lands into bed with Bill. Jeffery would use this to try and get Michelle to persuade Danny to drop out but to no avail. Once Danny won the election, Jeffery would splatter photos of Michelle and Bill in bed all over the tabloid, thus causing grief in the Santos home. Ed & Holly would reunite but with Rita's return, Holly fears that Ed might want to rekindle things. Especially when Ed [at one point] suspects that Reginald is his son. Holly and Hope would bond over their hatred of Rita--both women wanting her gone.

THOTsha should be grateful that Claudia attended; otherwise, that would've been one less segment she's on. Hell, her own friends didn't wanna attend her event. She should be glad that Claudia gave her the time of day. Especially since this was around the time that her peach was snatched. #IrrelevantBew

Are you trying to cause Middle America to have strokes and heart attacks?

I would love to see that Charity/Zoe drama as anything with the Tates is fabulous IMO. Anything with Debbie....

It was! I'm just pissed that the show was canceled too soon because there was still so much life in it. With Quint and Nola, I always wanted them to return home and either reopen the boarding house or move back to Thornway Road. Quint would be brought back to town by the Spaulding to help survey a piece of land which they wanna gentrify and urbanize. This piece is of land is one that the Lewises want to acquire too, thus putting the two at odds and Bill in the middle. I wanted J to come home first after Alan acquired his and his cousin's, Tom [Tony/Annabelle son], services as security for Lizzie, who was currently running Spaulding alongside Alex, Bill, and Phillip. Alan would create a false sense of danger for Lizzie, who fears her life was in danger from the controversial business deal. Alan hates the idea as he has had his own men investigate the land and realizes it is toxic and would cost Spaulding too much [potentially bankrupt the company] to clean up the landmass. Alan would also use J and Tom as spies, getting info from them on the ongoings on at Spaulding. However, J would fall for Lizzie, who also happens to be his cousin's [bill] wife. Lizzie and J would have an affair b/c Lizzie was growing insecure with Bill and Michelle's history and recent closeness [bill would be secretly helping Michelle get over her alcoholism, a Bauer curse, which she falls victim of when she learns that Meta, Trudy, Mike, and Hope were killed in a deliberate plane accident, which was caused by a criminal who Mike had put away.] Lizzie would be conflicted about her feelings for J and fight them off for the longest. It doesn't also help that Vanessa and Dinah, who know about the affair, scold her for her acts. But Lizzie would find an ally in Nola, who actually thinks she's a suitable mate for her son. Hell, she knows what it is like to be the third wheel thanks to the Kelly/Morgan situation. In this instance, Nola is all about making sure he son emerges victorious unlike she did in the past. This will also put Vanessa and Nola at odds for a period, with both Billy and Quint trying to figure out the tension between the two. Overall, the affair would come out after Bill overhears Lizzie admits she loves J. Bill would turn dark for a period and bust up Michelle and Danny's marriage. He'd also cut off Dinah and Vanessa for hiding the truth. Quint and Billy would be mad at Vanessa and Nola for hiding the affair and both trying to push their agendas. Lizzie would move on with J but find Bill as an obstacle both personally and professionally as he's given tips on the Spaulding's pending acquisition [of the land] to Billy and Josh. It would just be a mess. I wanted Hope to come back and be revealed much alive from the plane crash; however, she'd be under an alias and have a new face b/c she had to have reconstructive surgery from the crash. She'd also work as the Spaulding maid named Caroline to try and fix relations between Alan and Alan Michael. AM [along with Holly] would find out about Caroline being Hope first, and AM would be pissed his mom hid her identity for awhile. Alan will eventually learn the truth and hurt, he'd fall into bed with Rita, who is back in town, which unnerves Hope and nearly causes her to turn back to the bottle. I just have so many stories I'd love tell that I'll never get to share.

RHOA: Kenya's scene with Roger Bobb was funny. I laughed hysterically at the loose interpretation of the women she despised. She's is so shady as hell, but I am glad that she decided to change the concept of her show altogether. No need in giving your foes any kind of shine. Pay them hoes in dust. Kandi and her excessive crying annoys me. For her to be such a millionaire, why did she do a thorough background check on her promoter? Ain't no way he would've robbed me of my coins. Plus, I think she needs to fire Don Juan. His ass is getting too comfortable with his insults, and it took everything for Todd not to address him. Kandi needs to pull aside and remind him who signs his check. But if it was me, he'd be out the door. Nene and Porsha's scene was hypocritical and stupid. Everything about them always goes back to material goods. And the things they were bringing up about Claudia were things they suffered from too not too long ago. Not having a house. Um Porsha, didn't Kordell toss your ass out and change the locks? And Nene, did you get tossed out your first house when it came out that Greg was involved in insurance scams? Then cars and bags. Porsha, didn't Kordell get your car back in the divorce? And Nene, wasn't your car repossessed at Home Depot back in s1? Finally, having a husband. Nene, didn't you and Greg break up? Didn't he embarrass your ass on national radio along with exposing you. And Porsha, Kordell divorced your ass via Twitter. It gets no more embarrassing. Furthermore, Claudia has said numerous times that she has been married. But why do these women act like marriage is something to be accomplished? Not everyone wants to be married or is made for marriage. These two should know as their marriages sh*t on the entire institution of marriage. Business arrangements at best.... The exchange between Porsha and Claudia was so strange. I do think that Claudia has to learn to let things go. But this is first season, so this is expected. And Porsha made me burst into laughter when she said that Claudia wouldn't allow her to finish her sentence. Porter needs to first of all learn how to form an entire sentence or thought period before anyone can interrupt her. But it was clear in that scene that both women were looking for a fight; however, Claudia was classy enough to let it go. Phraudra and her mother.... I don't believe anything these two say. They play up to the cameras too much for and both are inauthentic. I don't think that Apollo would ever hurt his children. He may do other things but I don't see that man hurting his children. You can see that he loves his kids [especially Ayden] with all of his heart. Phrogdra really needs to stop using this platform to bash her kids' father. Does she not realize they will eventually see this and feel some way about it? She needs to get a grip.... I cannot wait for next week when Apollo whips out the receipts! I was gagging at the previews! And Apollo knew what he was doing by handing the info over to the messiest of them all, Peter. It's about to get juicy and I cannot wait! ​ETA: Sneak peek of Cynthia/Peter discussing "Mr. Chocolate." http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-atlanta/season-7/episode-714/videos?clip=2845277

How did the general audience receive Charity and Debbi's gay romances? Were they well received? Because remember, EE did an insta-gay story with Sonia, which fans loathed. And thanks for the YT pages. I'll subscribe to them so I'll get to see their future uploads. And I am shocked but not so shocked that Hawley struggled for years. That's how it usually is in the industry. The mediocre actors go on to achieve 'greatness' while the true greats are overshadowed. Regardless his choices, I hope he goes on to have a successful career going forward.

Quint & Nola!!!! Oh how I miss Guiding Light. How I seethe at the fact that these two characters weren't brought back in later years along with their kids. My dream job was to be head writer of GL & ATWT, and I would've had so many stories to tell with these two.

LMAO! I know a lot of people hated the Michael and Stacey pairing because Michael became so cruel to Donna. From watching their story during the SoapNet run, I somewhat understood why he was such a prick. I mean she did sleep with Jake, one of his least favorite people. Now I didn't care for Amanda chewing into Iris and I always felt Amanda was too harsh towards her. I know Iris did heinous things towards her but Amanda was not saint. Especially when she was boinking Evan. I always felt she should've thanked Iris because Evan was Amanda's best pairing beside Cameron. I never cared for Sam and Amanda. Their romance is the early depiction of what is wrong with daytime now--young couples rushed into a romance then marriage and kids. Neither character got the chance to find themselves. They were just slapped together so quickly.

I don't think that Iris deserved some of the heat she got in her final years, but Iris did do some mess that did deserve of the reaction she got.

I didn't know that Ryan Hawley was married. I'm sure the relocation on the daily can be draining even though it is easier to travel over there with the various types of public transportation. Oh and I am shocked that Danny is willing to stay as long as the show will keep him. Again, I don't see him staying long term unless he has to. I knew I recognized Bill Ward from somewhere else. He was the one that Tracey killed, right? And I miss James Thornton too. That man oozed sex appeal. How Moira let that slip from her hands.... And thanks for the Brookside history lesson. I've seen and read a little about the show and enjoyed it all thus far. Especially the story where the mother and daughter bury the father in the backyard. That had to be epic at that time.

I never understood how Iris and Lucas were involved. He never seemed like the type of man that Iris would get involved with.

But I never got the impression that Mitch really loved her. I always felt he was settling with her b/c he couldn't have Rachel. At least with Zane and Lucas, Felicia was 'it' for them.

Thanks for sharing that, Carl! I didn't know that the actress that plays Emma was in the legendary Brookside pairing. I've heard a bit about Debbie & Damon. I didn't know that they were huge. I'm sure some girls were suicidal after he was killed. Did Debbie return to Brookside afterwards? Back to Emmerdale, I didn't know that Danny & Marc didn't get along? That could explain why the pairing was decent but never as great as it could've been. Their energy always did read a little bit off. Like they never pushed further in their performances. Guess that affected a lot of the writing too. But I hope Robert is not attached to Aaron long term. But hell, I don't even see Danny Miller staying long anyways. He's always given me the impression that he has higher aspiration than being a soap, which is fine. With Ryan, I can see him staying for awhile and only taking a stab at Hollywood or other projects because people around will push him to do so. I personally think he has the 'it factor' to make it.

I get this feeling that Emma is Emmerdale's latest answer to previously popular Natasha Wylde. Hell, the whole family is a carbon copy of the Wyldes. At least a poor man's version. James = Mark Finn = Will Pete = Maisie Ross = Nathan Moira = Faye Adam = Ryan RE: (Spoiler): I am glad to hear that. I just hate that Robert was tied to boring, whiny ass Aaron. I'd rather if Finn was in this instead. Or some new gay character. I used to love Aaron but he irked my nerves towards the end of his original run. Only time I really enjoyed him was during the Jackson/Aaron era, which even then, he annoyed me.

In a weird way, Cass was Felicia's long-term relationship. I'm just glad that writers never tried to make them more than what they were in later years. By today's soap standard, Cass and Felicia would've fallen in love by now after years of being friends. But out the men you listed, Lucas (IMO) was Felicia's true endgame. I just hate that they killed him, but his death did go on to serve as a catalyst for AW's last great story--Felicia's alcoholism.

This! I'd rather Robert follow in Carl's footsteps instead. At least we'd keep him for some years and he'd feel somewhat remorseful for the crimes he committed. And we already somewhat have someone following in Cameron's footsteps--Emma. I get this impression that she's two steps away from offing someone or at least trying before she meets her demise.

One person! See I knew people loved Max and Luna. From what I've seen, their love story was way better than Gabrielle and Max. Better than Max and Tina or Clint and Viki. They are one of daytime's greatest couples.

Aren't Max & Luna the greatest couple ever?!

I hope he does not kill anyone else. With Katie's death, it could be accidental but he'd still do some time. I just wanted the character to have some longevity--to come back as the scheming lothario he was before. After this, I am not so sure....

I totally agree with you. I just have this feeling that Robert is going to get the short end of the stick. I don't see him getting off so easily in this regime. That's why I wish Katie's death was an accident. But if this is the route they are going, I hope this has long term affects on the show. I hope it is not some stunt that resulted in the audience losing two long term favorites for nothing.

Whoopi should've been released last season too. They should've just ended it with Barbara. Only person that has been on consistently this entire season has been Nicole, and while she's grew into her own, it's not enough for me to watch. I miss Joy. I miss the women talking about politics. I miss the shrieking at one another. I miss the reads and shade tossed at each other. This show is such a bore.
