My issue with this is--what is the payoff? I bet there isn't a long-term payoff any way besides probably setting it up for him to be shot or killed at Xmas. I just this is disrespectful of the memory of Lisa.

What have they done to Lisa's ashes, friend? Something vulgar I bet.

Good! She got a free ride this long. I hope she saved 8 seasons worth of salary to get her through the next couple of years. Why do I say the next couple of years? Because I know Bravo's dumb azzes will bring her boring behind back in some capacity in future seasons. I mean look at how they keep trying to make Sheree happen.

@DaytimeFan I doubt it. Monique (last week) reiterated that will never do reality TV again. I don't believe that, but I do think at this present moment that she is content with not having to put up with the reality TV antics. She seems at peace. I really think they are going to just have Keiarna take Candaice's position on the show.

Not shocked if the Robyn allegations are true. This move is to scare the sh*t out of Gizelle (too) that if she doesn't get it together, her future looks bleak too. Plus Robyn has gotten a free ride for 8 seasons. Robyn fumbled the bag hard because this season should've been about her, and it ended up being about Mia, who (as aforementioned) is being propelled as the future of this show. Backtracking to Candiace, @Cat, I think Wendy will be fine. I really think Keiarna is going to get Candiace's flute. Keiarna will be the one to bridge the gap between Wendy/Gizelle.

I think that Mia more than just secured her spot next season, I think she's solidified herself as the future of this show. I am not concerned about her reunion performance b/c the trailer looks like Mia provides all the meat and bones of the reunion. If I were many of the girls, I'd be scared. Especially, Gizelle. Mia coming for that spot as the face of this show. Mia has the right level of delusion + candid enough to share any aspect of her life and own it = the perfect housewife combo. Candiace is out at RHOP! https://people.com/candiace-dillard-bassett-exits-real-housewives-of-potomac-after-6-seasons-exclusive-8619722

This was underwhelming. Yeah. Time for a massive firing on this show.

Thank you! My girl had me weeping last night watching those first 2 episodes on XMen'97. Storm went through it last night! That aside, I am so glad to hear 8.5 will NOT be back for next season of BH. This is what happens when you participate in clownery by doing the bidding for others (Kyle). You did all of that and squandered your chance of being a mainstay. Idiot.

Jesus, Karen. This is not a good look for her. I am glad to hear she is OK though.

I would even be fine with them playing the same dynamics on a soap. Amelia's character being a force in the workplace while Petronia's character is a stuffy socialite who wants the best for her children. Make it happen, P&G and Michelle!! And Amelia was criminally pigeonholed on Passions, in my opinion. Even though Passions wasn't my cup of tea, I tried watching for Amelia, but I grew tired of her character yearning for her sister's husband and being bitter. It grew tiring. One of the many reasons I was unable to connect with Passions.

Agreed. Everyone looked great this reunion. I guess they had to get something right seeing as the content of the season was pure trash. I am so glad that next week is the finale. Let's get on the reunion and then move on to retooling this show both onscreen and behind too.

I miss both of them on daytime so bad. Gilly and her trials and tribulations at WSPR (being wedged between Roger/Holly) was some of my fave material during the Curlee era. Is it bad I hope Michele Val Jean snatches both of them up for The Gates?

Now I am eager to watch this reunion:

Now that you've brought that up, I am wondering why they haven't. It'd promote their music library while adding a missing aspect back into DAYS.

Thanks, Jason! I knew you'd know! I miss when soaps had a budget to use on music for montages. That is one of the aspects of soaps that is needed nowadays. Nothing could solidify a supercouple more than an R&B hit or a sappy song when they broke up.

Was this the last airdate of Pete? Also, wasn't he and Melissa married earlier that same year?

I was questioning this because I got around to listening to the 10th-anniversary link that you all posted here last night. When the wedding was brought up (and I don't know if it was just me), Mary seemed sympathetic to John but sounded dry at the mention of Steve. I kind of figured that she didn't take to Steve at all; however, didn't John step out on Pat when Mary was alive? I know that all the stuff with Olive came afterward. I'd imagine that Mary's feelings for him would have been very different too. Was Jim OK with Rachel or did he tolerate her? I have always noticed that the patriarchs on a lot of soaps have a soft spot for the headstrong daughter-in-laws despite everything.

@vetsoapfan, what was Mary's relationship with Steve? I've always heard that she didn't like him. Was that true? I've always wondered how she truly felt about Rachel at times too.

I doubt they'll get a Sunday 8 PM slot ever. Miami isn't that strong yet. I mean I think they could handle the slot, but the figures aren't there. Plus, Bravo does not promote this show like they do the other shows. Why? I don't know. That is something I am trying to figure out myself. It just doesn't make sense. Miami has consistently given Bravo the strongest content for 3 seasons in a row.

Part 3 was hilarious. These women still kept the same energy of whacking each other until the bitter end. Even when Andy was trying to wrap up the reunion, Alexia took parting shots at Adriana (who ignored her), Larsa (who was bitter), and even Marysol (who is her best friend). Marysol did not like being lumped in with the "liars" that Alexia stated. Their exchange and Marysol pouting had me in tears. This reunion was chaos from start to finish. They really just need to make all 9 women be full-time. This show is perfection in the cast department. It is like RHOA seasons 5&6 or RHONY seasons 7-10 levels of perfection. I am going to miss these women. Bravo, hurry up, renew the show, and get these women up and filming again.

I hope they pick a group of writers with none or little daytime experience, BUT have immense love for the genre, and mold them to be the future. I might need to go and throw my hat into the ring...

I think all the classic soaps could do well with a 30-minute streaming, tweaked format. I'd honestly prefer this be on a streaming platform if anything. I think that this show being 30 minutes would be suitable for it too. An hour of soaps is too much nowadays with the current bunch of writers. They are burned out and not producing at all. I hope (too) that Michele has total control of the narrative and not much interference. Let her tell her story, her way. Notes are OK but focus on the numbers and leave the story to the writers.

And its Michele ValJean's creation!!! I really hope this shifts daytime back to being that it girl again and leads to the revival of ATWT, GL, and other P&G shows.
