I'm Hyped!

All of the articles gaurantee that there will be more interaction amongst the housewives, an integral story involving every house on Wisteria Lane and characters (mainly Bree and Gabby since Susan and Lynette didn't change that much) acting like their true self.

Discuss!!

Awesome so far! Love the introduction of the new mystery. Orson looked like a punk last season... but obviously I would think that things are not as straight forward as they seem. Maybe she is locked up. I don't think he killed her.

Is Lynette still working? Loving that each storyline is being given good airtime. And love that Edie is actually on!!

It was good. Grew tired of the Mike/Susan thing and switched channels when that came on. LOVED Lynette's story tonight. That nosey neighboure in the beginning, LOVE the actress (name slips me), she can play anything perfectly! Nice to see the housewives together again. Loved Gabby! Some great lines tonight. Overall 8/10. Welcome back DH!

ETA: LAURIE METCALF that's her name...PURE GREATNESS.

The HUMOR is back and that's what I loved. I laughed out loud so many times and I haven't done that with DH in a while.

Loved Gabby and Carlos searching for Xiao Mai and Gaby getting the Chinese food dumped on her and then her peeling away from Carlos when he was going to open up to her about his American dream. Gaby is hilarious. Eva Longoria is absolutely perfect as Gaby. Oh -- loved Gabby laughing at Bree telling the girls she and Orson were waiting until they got married.

Bree and the orgasm was hilarious. I actually kinda like Orson. Very intriguing character and Kyle McLachlan is a great actor.

I was bored with the Susan/Mike stuff. It was sweet but eh ... lol. I kinda like Susan with the ComaHusband (his name slips me). And it was hilarious when she spilled the smoothie on ComaWife Jane. LMAO. Teri Hatcher plays clumsy so well.

I enjoyed the Lynette/Tom story as well. Fun. I love Kirsten Warren. She's hilarious.

Laurie Metcalf ... that woman is brilliant. I love her.

It was nice seeing Edie tonight so much! Her trying to sell Mary Alice's house was hilarious. Loved seeing Kathryn Joosten (Mrs. McCluskey) as well.

Good good episode. DH is back baby!!

Great one-liners.

Loved seeing Edie - and Laurie Metcalf!

Other than that, I'm sort of tired of how Bree always ends up with some pyscho - and I'm not a big Kyle M. fan.

They just introduce WAY too many characters on this show...Seems like Susan is always hitting on a new guy or has a new guy hitting on her every 3 episodes. Way too many names that I have to try and remember as they're brought up in the future.

And get that Saved By The Bell chick off the show - she's annoying in this role.

Susan's had 4 love interests on the show. Mike, Karl, Dr. Ron and now Ian. Now that many over 3 seasons and I don't consider Dr. Ron much of a love interest.

And how many characters did they introduce tonight? 2? Ian and Carolyn Bixby. And Orson's wife Alma, if you want to count her. So not that many.

ANYway, I loved the ep. So much fun, I'm watching it again right now.

    • It's so jarring seeing the changeover from Sherry Mathis to Louan Gideon.  The vibe, mannerisms, and overall personality of Liza changes instantly. The chemistry Sherry has with both David F and Joe Lambie is gone the second the recast happens.  I wonder how viewers took the news of the recast since you didn't have time in between airings before the change happened. Quinn/Sarah... One overacts (Quinn) and one under acts (Sarah). Wendy of 1985 is a good mix of the 1982 sweet Wendy and the 1983/84 vixenish Wendy.
    • Oups!! I guess when i was doing the editing, i left a part of 3169, too (RTL Lounge airs 2 episodes per day back to back). Sorry about that ! Tonight i ll try to record 3171-3172. If i m not mistaken 3172 is missing from YouTube.

    • I would put Felicia in the 'small dose' auntie category because she means well, but comes on too strongly at times.  In small doses, she would be a blast to hang out with.. but in anything larger than a small... she would be exhausting. I tend to prefer lower key people than people that are always 'on' all the time.  Those people can veer off into energy vampire status pretty quickly.
    • I didn't like the Harry story, but Nazar did have a great introduction. He was probably the highlight of last year.  Now that you mention it, I guess the truly dire stories (Nicole, Harper/Drew/Phil, Nicole) didn't start until summer.
    • thank you all for contributing to the Vault. I am slowly getting towards watching the 1998 episodes

    • I pray⏤and I know it's a big prayer⏤that Noel Maxam is somehow able to figure things out budget-wise so we can stop re-dressing existing sets as "new" sets. I know in apartment buildings apartments can generally look the same, but I'm over it on this soap. The last time he was executive producer was in 2011 when the original Horton Town Square was introduced, and we had some other sets get introduced around this time (likely pre-commissioned prior to his election), but I'm trying to have some hope he can pull this off. Let's [finally] see it.
    • Definitely not the best of RC's breakdowns. I don't know what it says that I could pick up his trademarks yesterday 30 minutes in without even knowing that he did one. There was something more...quirky/boardstroked...about Dani. Though I love the Dani/Nicole scenes, she was just a little too hip?...which made me think back to the episode when she broke into Bill/Hayley's house. Then watching the episode later on, I saw Hayley was being used as a punchline to the more interesting and relevant Bill/Ted scenes (see you all were just talking about how you hoped they got scenes...one thing this show is great at...what people want on this board...they already have the foresight for it. The reason I feel the DNA test will get mentioned @Cheap21 in more detail). And then poor Anita reduced for the most part propping up an album.    Needless to say, not my favorite RC episode. And since we are in aftermath week, I just smh. And barely worth a rewatch. BUT...was there good for me?    Yes. Thankfully, we still got good aftermath beats regardless of the breakdown.   Like I said, I really like the Dani/Nicole scenes. But I love their dynamic. And I was looking forward to the shoe being on the other foot once the SilkPress storyline hit climax. Quirks aside, it did not disappoint. Dani came in, and she came in fierce for her sister. I loved her attacking Eva. And then her being surprisingly introspective about Nicole due to her own experience. No wonder Nicole reacted to her being self-aware. So did I.    Meanwhile Bill and Ted finally met up. I'm kinda sad that we did not get that sooner given the scenes that played out sidepiece in the background aside. It might have been interesting to see more of their status as non-Duprees coming into the family explored.    And of course I can't leave without mentioning Eva vs SilkPress Sheila which was the highlight. Both of them were giving. And SilkPress was just so cold with it. I did love that Eva finally stopped letting her gaslight her. Sad to see the duo break up. But I did love that she went to Ted. So...the next turn begins.   And speaking of turns...uh oh at Kat and Tomas. I'm sure he won't be staying away from her. So most definitely, Kat vs Eva ain't over. It will be interesting to see how it goes now that most people know that Kat was right all along. 
    • Nah I enjoyed it much more last year because of the Harry plot that ended during that time. Nazar being introduced and them. But this time it is so lame and nothing I like forward to anymore and I’m one of them long time fans. Of course I would be upset if they would cancel it but maybe take a year off or two and return refreshed
