oh yeah that was a typo on my part. I do think he's gay but he seems very shy and private. I can understand why he wouldnt want to reveal it on tv. Im sure the family and everyone on the show knows about it, but they just dont talk about it out of respect for him Did he ever pursue the police academy thing that was mentioned a season or 2 ago? Maybe he also might be conscientious about how his coworkers might view him in his future field

Well, shoot me but I sort of agree with Eric re: Juicy Joe on RHoNJ. Is he a drunken, abusive, misogynistic ass? Hell yes. But that wedding was so touching, truthful and beautiful that it managed to even put Joe in a good mood and crack a couple of ok jokes. Even Teresa looked thrilled and more relaxed, more like the Teresa of S1 when she wasn't fronting so awkwardly about her "perfect" marriage. Basically, that wedding also made me really enjoy the Manzo brood and I usually don't (Caroline and Albert Sr excepted). It was nice to have an enjoyable episode where nothing seemed forced. The only downside was Dina throwing a hissy fit and not showing up. Can anybody tell me what the real beef between Caroline and Dina is?

Everything that came out of Jacqueline's mouth about Teresa was so right-on. It actually made me go back and watch the very first episode ever of RHoNJ. The difference between Teresa then and now is startling. She was so fun and natural. Now she looks awkward and tired-eyed all the time. She clearly spent all her husband's money (and then some) and now she's trying to make it up to him for leaving him bankrupt by "building an empire" :rolleyes: and turning a blind eye to his boozing and slutting around. Teresa is also totally dickmatized.

Also: the reason RHoNJ has been lacking in the past season or two is because Danielle Staub and Dina Manzo were such great personalities, SO bitchy and unhinged and diva and crazy about their daughters that IMO Melissa and Kathy just cannot measure up. Like, I love the way Kathy adores her family but other than that, she's a non-entity. And Melissa pretending to be all shocked when Joe played her new single was :rolleyes: I will say this, though -- it is a pretty catchy summer track, and that's not something I thought I would ever say about Melissa Gorga's autotune singing.

I am with you until you throw shade at HBIC Melissa! LOL, Seriously tho you are on point. I agree about Dani/Dina/Mel/kathy tho, but i think that Melissa is one of the best additions to any of the series so far (along with Brandi). Also, apparently its not just Dina vs Caroline, it is the majority of the Manzo family that Dina is not speaking too, and thats a ton of ppl cuz there are like 11 kids!

And that song is super catchy, already my new ringtone! lol.

*crosses fingers that Christina will be back on RHoV next season* Seriously, they can't let this girl go. She is just too fun and upfront!

LOL, I didn't throw shade to piss you off, but I have had a hard time warming to Melissa since she came on the show, as you know. And I really did love Dina and Danielle as housewives so...

Dina's pissed at all 11 Lauritas? Damn, girl. WTH happened there? Did she get a show on HGTV and suddenly turn all diva? laugh.png

Not all 11 of them are not speaking to her, but apparently a good amount of the siblings.

I do not miss Danielle, she needed to go, I dont much miss Dina because she seems so basic to me, but i def get waht you are saying.

I just obsess over Melissa. Shes everything I want in friends in life. A little flashy and OTT, knows how to party and have fun, but cares a lot of people and relationships. And her and Joe are my favorite RHo couple.

I would guess early-mid 30's with bad work/too much work done to try and look younger but it made her look older.

Co-sign on the hubbies & housewives mentioned above. Chris Laurita wub.png And Dr. Dubrow is the bomb.

I also think that Kyle's Mauricio on BH seems a pretty stand-up guy.

ETA: I forgot my little Joey Gorgonzola!

Oh I definetly love Mauricio but I was going based on couples and she kinda ruins it for me. I mean I like Kyle but she can be a bit pushy. The 3 I mentioned seemed to jive so well together when they were on air. (sad that Lisa and Ed are divorced now) I would have said Adrienne and Paul but season 2 of BH ruined them for me as a couple.

    • 6-5   Case in point...lol.   Kat and Jacob can soooo have a spinoff. Just watching her being adamant that Eva is up to no-good while Jacob continues to try to play straight man to the craziness continued to be a hoot to watch. And the sad part is that Kat is on the right trail, just following the wrong clues. Or worse coming to the wrong conclusion. All because of her dislike for Eva.    Meanwhile, Eva continued to make inroads. I know I have said this since the start of the show, but I love how for the most part, the writers write the characters in gray. Not completely white. Not completely black. Most of the characters have moments where they resonate with the audience and then have moments where they are unlikeable. Like technically, Eva should be a pariah. I like that she knows this, understands this, and still shows remorse and still tries to work to get back the lost trust. It makes her so rootable. And played by a star is a bonus.

       It is also what makes the rivalry between Eva and Kat so much fun to watch. Also played by a star. Neither one is perfect really, but they are oh so watchable and a nice by-product of the SilkPress storyline.    Same for Anita. I love the regal coldness TT has given to the role. The sense of ruthlessness beneath the beautiful face. And yeah it can be a turn-off. And it's been nice to see a softer side to her throughout this story of her and her bandmates. She is far from perfect. She...is also NOT a doormat so it was great to watch her versus her bandmates this episode.    I like the run-in between NuTed and Nicole. I'm getting used to NuTed. And Nicole's presence has been a little too light for my liking. I can only assume that is to build to the next Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila confrontation which rumor has it will be another good one.    Speaking of which...LAURA IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!! Praise it be!!! And I thought it was so adorable that Nicole, Kat, and Mona were on hand to welcome her back. I liked that Laura has an open mind toward Eva (unlike her feelings toward SilkPress). Another layer to add to the Eva vs Kat rivalry. 
    • Victoria Principal clearly stacked her Dallas coins real good. In the grand scheme of things, she was smart to walk away from Dallas when she did.
    • When Robert Calhoun became EP I thought GL was finally hitting its stride after some pretty rough years. Unfortunately the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run did not reflect the quality of the show.
    • There was a five week break between the last Friday episode and the Thursday episodes which were the final four episodes. I have a feeling the final four episodes were refilmed to wrap up the storylines. 
    • Yes, I forgot there was a gap between his exit from GL and his start at ATWT. This almost makes me want to cry. He really turned ATWT around (and good for them). It would have been great if someone had done the same for GL. Can't imagine who. The Dobsons were doing Santa Barbara at this point. I mainly blame Kobe. She may not have been the worst EP they ever had, but she almost totally destroyed the Bauers and decimated much of the rest of the cast, sometimes for egotistical reasons. That was a huge mistake and made it that much harder for the show to recover.
    • Douglas Marland began at As the World Turns in September 1985 but it took about a year for his run to show growth in the ratings. 1986 As the World Turns becomes CBS's #2 daytime drama after Y&R.
    • This is not at all surprising. Watching the recently uploaded episodes, the uneveness is SO apparent. Characters are changing at the drop of a hat. The stories are close to incoherent. It's a mess, and we're only up to May. What a fall from grace. An Emmy-winning show with good ratings and within a few short years hitting possible cancelation territory.  I'm surprised CBS and/or P&G didn't try to do SOMETHING to restore its former glory. Was Marland still at ATWT at this point? 
    • I think she did, yes. The only part of that return I remember appreciating was the ripoff they did of Earrings of Madame De, where a secretly broke India sold a trinket and Ross or Alan (I think it was Ross) then bought it for her, not knowing it was hers.
    • 6-4   Getting around to the rewatching and I guess Dani/Bill/Hayley as A story is coming around better to me. I hope that means that I will feel different about Friday's episode which first time around I felt was more of a Wednesday/Thursday episode. Anita's story and Dani/Bill/Hayley (with Kat vs SilkPress being a solid B plot to keep the SilkPress storyline alive, but NOT A story) have been the focus for this past week. So I'm worried I'll feel a way when I get back to Friday's episode. I guess I'm about to find out.   I know I have issues with Dani/Bill/Hayley coming back into focus since the much better paced SilkPress storyline is truly where it's at with so much aftermath/new direction to explore. However, I'm finding that...just like with the story of Martin's secret being slowly woven back into the story narrative...I care a little bit more for it since it's been background since Week 3, Month 1. IMHO the characters...outside of Hayley...have been developed in other plots. The past week and a half has had Dani and Andre growing closer and they have gotten to the 'third month what are we?' talk that I expect in all relationships in real life. And I liked how the writers have slowly had friction between them to see what they are made of? Is it still just a booty call or can it be more? Meanwhile, Bill has been hiding his physical issues for months. Too busy messing with other people's marriages.

          So now that they have some more POV to them, it was good to see an organic...and yes, it was organic...reason for them to be in the same room. In this case...the hospital room. Lord, Karla and Timon have such great chemistry. And Dani and Bill were so acting like exes. No wonder Hayley feels threatened. Oh, well. lol. Bonus...the drama with Bill has Hayley and Naomi back in each other's orbit. They don't have enough scenes together.    You all know I was waiting for Anita's story. So how am I feeling? Pretty good. TT has been playing it to the hilt. And I was not expecting the story of a fourth member who killed themselves after being pushed out. And it's had a build. First through Tracy. And now with Sharon...who is swiftly being established as a piece of work. A Have-Not (if not Has-Been) who is not above scheming. Okay. lol. I liked the conversation between Anita and Vernon where she told him the truth, and he tried to hold her up. Whether she deserved it or not, it was good to see. I'm sure all of the secrets are not out yet so I look forward to more. Cuz we know they are not cancelling the reunion. Which fingers crossed...will be at the police fundraiser.     Honestly, I continued to be impressed with how the writers have kept Silk Press Sheila out of jail, but still playing the beats of it all. She's definitely in covering her tracks mode, and it's great to watch. It's also great to see her mixing it up with different characters. I was happy to get the long-awaited showdown between her and Nosy Nurse and Nosy Nurse READ...HER...DOWN. I was just disappointed Nosy Nurse spilled some tea. And that led to SilkPress's scene with Andre. And then Andre...lord...talked too much.   C plot this episode has been Chelesa's love life. I was wondering where it was going to go after her talk with Vernon. Enter...Mystery Woman. I wonder what her secret would be that would get in her way with Chels. Related to an enemy of the Duprees? Married? I am intrigued. And I do like Chelesa getting the spotlight because daytime does not really do it like how they are doing it with her.    Can Kat and Jacob get a spinoff? lol.
