I can tell Lorraine Broderick loves writing for Julia Barr at AMC. Her writing always more respectful under L.B.

I don't know if Bill has any family members on the show, but I think Victoria Rowell would be gold for his mother or aunt. I agree with this. Okay, please don't take it the wrong way. But I would like to know why he wasn't paired with another black guy.

I could see Karen taking a season off or returning at the tail end like Phaedra. Karen skipping the reunion was a boss move to me. She's a force a nature, the Erica Kane of Potomac, and 40 minutes of the show was about her. What will they do without her? Gizelle is sitting pretty right now. From this thread and the little bit I read off Twitter/X, this is probably the most love I seen her get since season one. Stacey is showing signs of the next Grand Dame in training, so she's a clear favorite of mine. One thing I hated about this season was all the newbies kissing Karen's ass. So this is a welcome change. I would like to get to know her on a deeper level, though. Wendy is a smart woman. She is just as collected as Karen. She should be thankful for this beef with Karen cause now she has a storyline to work with if Karen comes back.

I have a question/concern about Martin but I do not want to get bash for it. Same! The possibilities are endless with a character like Nicole. So many fun directions she can go down. She and her husband could be in all kinds of foolery behind the scenes, maybe they hate each other, you could even give her a split personality 🥰 . I am so ready for this soapy goodness.

The second part was nice. It was awesome to see them highlight the second tier characters and past soap work for many of the actors. Daytime performers are so of the most dynamic and versatile talents! Me either. But good to know... So would I, Vicky would kill that.

I thought it was past time Julia Barr(AMC/RH) finally had her thread. In my opinion, Julia Barr is one of the Daytime greatest leading ladies. She's a brilliant actress. She can play any storyline that was given to her. As tremendous as she is, I truly believe Julia Barr is a little underappreciated, mainly in the All My Children universe. And before anyone, she is not, pay attention to every time AMC gets tribute or has a reunion. She's mostly forgotten about, and it's upsetting because Julia Barr gave it her all, even when her character was being trashed. So, please come in and discuss and give this icon her flowers.

I certainly believe we got Matriarch Erica in the last few years. A very unconventional one! She dished out advice while still having her own adventures. They just never had a clear vision of what to do with her that's why anything good ever lasts. I.E. Her talk show. I didn't mind her battling Greenlee In Business especially when Liza was involved with Fusion. Similar stories could have also been told with Julie Chandler, and caused all kinds of conflict with her dear brother Mark. There was untapped material with her meddling in Kendall's children's lives, I think people forgot Erica always wanted a son before having Bianca. I hate that the throughline of Erica becoming Phoebe was lost! @Maxim I can't wait to read your reactions to the characters that are let go. It was a true bloodbath I personally didn't like it. Ross and Julie never should have left this canvas IMO. And I agree with you about letting go of Silver Kane.

I enjoyed the special. It was beautifully done, so intentional, so inspiring. It made me want to join the BTS crew. It was the start of great beginning…

It was a lot happening in this episode. Very reminiscent of RHOA Pillow talk. I have to rewatch it again to truly process my thoughts. Heavenly has really become a shitty person IMO.

RHOC I have been rewatching the golden years, and I must have missed their 100th-episode special the first time around. Because during that telecast it was revealed that the original title of the show was “Beyond The Gates”. Was I the only one, not aware of this? RHOP The greatest Part 1 reunion this show has ever had. I laughed all throughout the night. Everyone did well tonight except Kierna. K felt like such a bystander to me. Karen was the star of this reunion. The opening montage, the gorgeous video to the ladies, and her shady thank-you’s, her picture frame, all her flashbacks, and constant mentions. Ashley gets major props for bringing the Karen picture frame. It helped add a lot of humor to an already amazing episode. Wendy looked phenomenal and had the best hair of the night. She did drag out her birthday but I agree with Andy she was much lighter this season. Mia and her dramatics will they save her another season? I don't know but her off-camera drama with Stacey and Jessi appears to be made up but I enjoyed it. Stacey was a good addition to this cast. I hated the TJ story but watching her be messy in the finale got my attention, and I liked that she still had Karen’s back at the reunion. She was my best dressed of the night. Jessi definitely needed to be full-time. She is a stunning Barbie doll! I believe she makes a great Candace replacement. I want to see more of her. Hope we get to see her wedding. Gizelle had a good reunion. Nothing too heavy just a lot of facial expressions, laughs and hijinks with the ladies and I liked it. well-produced episode. They had so many things in this one episode.

They did, He was saved by a bed mattress 🤣.

@EricMontreal22 I second that! The Tylers were not handled right at all. They didn't even do right by Brooke's children either. Ann was so fascinating, I didn't get to watch AMC in the '70s but from the things I read Ann was the show for me. So many should've, would've, could've scenarios for her character. @Soaplovers Yeah, I also thought the teens/young adults were AMC thing. I would argue they probably were the leads of the show. I personally really loved Julie Chandler. @Khan I adore that Erica Cancer/Mona foundation storyline idea. I could see being an amazing story for the show. I always wanted Erica to have more businesses around Pine Valley too! Kudos to you…

Exciting news!!! I am happy to see them both join the show, great castings IMO. Elated for my Cady, I have enjoyed all of her daytime roles except On Y&R. I Hope Pamela got some fire in her!

HA! It won't work on me LOL!

And that's where we differ. she didn't adapt at all. Production /Bravo already started sending her messages by moving her seat at last year's reunion. She was always coming into S9 differently. I respectfully agree to disagree with you though ❤️.

I'm not mad at Phaedra. They say she doesn't bring anything; so okay Enjoy the show LOL.

ICAM! 💯Lorie was/is a fascinating character. Yes, genius writing and planning above all. I am so ready for this! And I honestly would love for Victoria Rowell to be offered it! !!!!

Was this your favorite of the year? I have not watched it yet.

Viola Davis headlining an action flick. I hope it becomes a success for her and a franchise. pic sharing

RHOB This was a nice episode for Sutton. A beautiful moment with she and Reba. she's my favorite on the show now. Flaws and all. I think we need a break from the Pk/Dorit divorce. Erika really needs a storyline. If one had to go, it should've been Gizelle. Robyn deserved the Redemption arc imo. After watching this dry season, I for sure miss her.

It's been an interesting season. Thank God Boston Rob has been banished.

Okay, you sold me on Gizelle. Eventhough it's not what I wanted from her I will accept that she's giving this season. Except, the dating is old news because that's been her storyline the last 4 seasons. Gizelle gets great edits! Her sidekick also gave though. Robyn had a wedding, business storyline, friendship fallouts, a depression. And she had some big moments with her speakerphone and filming fights. People just chooses to focus on her relationship. My point is, Gizelle could have given what she has with Robyn around.
