WOW. Thanks for the update. I wasn't aware of the beatings. Then she should have filed for divorce. I agree.

Bravo isn't to blame in any scenerio. Let's say that he didn't beat her.

She obviously wanted to do the show more than working on her marriage. Not saying that is the case, I am just giving a scenerio.

Either way, it comes down to what happened was between these 2. NOT Bravo. This show is about reality. Bravo played on it.

If the characters involved didn't want to do it, they should have walked away.

Dina on NJ housewifes quit, as it was becoming a problem in her marriage. That is why she left the show. They let her go.

I hated Russell in season 1 also. I cant say Taylor deserved better when I was watching bc she was a gold digger and picked him solely for his money. She said her marriage was 80% business and 20% romance. They had a loveless relationship and I thought she got what she bargained for. As far as beating...I can see that. He was vry controlling and felt like he needed to exert his power over her and keep her on a leash. It was humilating watching him treat her like a child and she just accept it. Divorce was probably the best thing for both of them and its unfortunate that they couldnt rise above the fighting and end things peacefully for the sake of their child. Sad all around

It is sad all aroud. sad.png

He married her for whatever reason. Was he trying to hide his sexual preferences? Was he in love with her?

If he was in love with her, did she hurt him by using him for his money?

If he was so bankrupt, I can assure you she had plenty to do with that. He blamed her.

I know the feeling of trying to please someone, and in the end get kicked in the azz for it. Its devastating. I am not saying this is what happened...but she was a gold digger. From day one.

I was on Team Russell, minus the beating and abuse, of course.

Taylor is a gold digger and wanted a sugar daddy or whoever would front the lifestyle she's wanted. There are rumors of her conning some rich lady in Florida who was presumably her lover.

Russell did not come off as an !@#$%^&*] to me in S1. He seemed really uncomfortable being in front of the cameras and interacting with the other ladies and their husbands (he probably new financial implosion was looming). He shared some great scenes with Kennedy (giving her Snowball, interaction in the kitchen when Taylor was away).

IMO, Taylor wanted money. She got it. Love was unnecessary.

The bills too?? lol

She can't collect on life insurance since he committed suicide. It won't pay out.

Without sounding calous....he was broke. Again. Instead of standing behind him to rebuild himself, she chose her career over her marriage.

Isn't that really the bottom line?

Well Im sure we dont know everything about their financials. He may have had stuff tucked away. They have their mansion to sell and she gets that. If theres a trust set aside for Kennedy, she controls it. He may have had stock which have no value until sold, which she gets. There's various avenues for her to collect

I am no accountant, but stock isn't worth a dime these days. She can't get rich off of that.

Hopefully he did keep a trust for the daughter and 2 sons.

I can assure you the house is mortgaged to the hills.....and can't get anything for it. The bank owns it. Not her.

(Unless someone comes out and buys it for her) Or pays her mortgage every month.

I didn't know the house was a rental. Well there is no money. Zip. His assets had to be liquidated if he was filing bankrupcy.

Watching HLN now, Russell's family are claiming if he shows up in one episode, they are suing.

I don't see Beverly Hills coming back very soon. JMO

    • Really an excellent point. I'm worried about Derek but he's not working. The Duprees being too good somehow ... well, if they say it instead of be it, okay yes, I would worry but as long as they keep on being good, geeze, that's something to celebrate, not worry!!!  Party on?!
    • I blame Mitch.

    • I agree. For now. I am sure in a year's time...a new family (or old) will start to appear on the show. 
    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.
