Nene was hating on Phaedra since Phaedra's first season (Season 3). Remember, Nene came up with 'Fake-dra'. Didn't they both come from the same small hometown in Macon? Or something like that...

I haven't seen those two really come together since then... and the current reunion promos show Nene going after Phaedra even more. So not sure they are close.

BTW - Kandi said that Kordell filed for divorce the week after the reunion... and in the reunion, Porsha was spewing all this wonderful stuff about her marriage and Kordell. What a crazy turn of events.. which is why I'm sure Bravo had to quickly change the update lines in the finale for Porsha. That was literally the most recent update for her, and they weren't sure what else to put!

They grew up in Athens, GA, not Macon. Please don't compare the two, LMAO! Macon is a shithole (I stay 30 mins from it), but Athens is no better. tongue.png

And Nene only went after Phaedra b/c she was putting out false info that they grew up together and played together. Also, Phaedra came for Nene (and was actually the first one to take the first shot) that same season upon her debut at the shoe party calling Nene "unladylike." From then on it went downhill. They did call a truce in South Africa on S4 (one of the bright spots of the trip IMO) and it continued this season, but that was nixed was Phaedra was caught talking about Cynthia on a phone recording and then denying it.

Phaedra is a shady character, and everyone on the cast past (Sheree & Kim) and present (minus Porsha & Kandi) has said/alluded that she is. She just got caught this season with her hand in the cookie jar b/c the bigger targets (Sheree & Kim) got the boot.

Reading about the performance of Deshawn and Lisa at the season 1 reunion, I wonder if the reunions are now thought of as an audition for next season?

The reason i ask that is because Brandi was just a friend of housewives in season 2, but she basically hijacked the reunion last year and became a full time housewife in season 3.

Plus, during the season 2 Miami reunion... Karent was being too nice and not engaging in too much confrontation with the other women while Ana went guns blazing for Lea at the reunion. Now, Karent is not coming back (probably her choice, but I'm sure they would have let her go if she didn't leave herself)..and it appears as if Ana is back again even though it was thought that she would be gone after her lackluster season 2 stint.

Whatever happened to just casting interesting women to be on these franchises? Women that had interesting personalities, interesting lives, etc? Why the need to determine casting if a woman is shady, bitchy, etc? Shouldn't there be more of a balance?

Did Taylor even speak at this season's reunion??? I watched Part 2 last night and that's the quietest I've ever seen a housewife in any reunion. Very odd - something is up. She's either over it, or very embarrassed watching herself be drunk all the time (which is her main go-to for drama).

Also, I just LOVE the OC - so happy it's back! I just love my original girls. The Vicki/Brooks/Briana drama last season was SO good and I can't wait to see more this season. Vicki is just so fun to watch for me - I don't always agree with her (in fact I think she's so hypocritical), but for whatever reason I can't get enough of her.

I also would have given my man [!@#$%^&*] if he kept insisting on ordering onion rings for my Clambake. Onion rings do NOT go with lobsters and clams. Heather didn't overreact in my opinion. Also, we see more affection between the two of them than we ever did with Paul/Adrienne. But I do see the bickering - I hope they don't always rely on that for their personal screentime at home.

I liked Alexis's new haircut - she looked gorgeous in her interview/talking heads.

IA. It was her choice. She has an actual career, unlike some of the ladies and I didn't think it was a good look for her to even be on this show, especially since she was being villianized early on. She had good enough sense to back out before things could get worse.

This. Brandi was more like an unofficial housewife in season 2, appearing more than any other friend in any of the other series. She didn't need to "audition" at the reunion. She already had a spot by then

    • I very much liked office Cleary and the actress who portrayed her (as you say, Mary Peterson).  A shame her turn didn't evolve into a contract role.   BTW, does anyone know the timeframe/years that Betty Rae served as casting director?  If i understand correctly, she not only led the effort for contract roles, but also for shorter 13- and 26-week roles.  IMO, GL had LOTS of very well-casted, limited roles, too. I'm surprised the actors throughout the soap industry, and especially P&G actors, have not assembled a book or something similar, praising Rae.  Each actor could write a few paragraphs or a page of text describing his or her experience.
    • No. Ruth had an extramarital affair with David while married to Joe.
    • I'm not sure I agree with Bernstein's children on that. Bernstein's life and activism here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Bernstein#Social_activism_and_humanitarian_efforts
    • Thursday & Friday's episodes were excellent. The build-up was most definitely worth the wait (2 months). TMG, I can't give her enough accolades. AM, was also absolutely incredible. I think the fallout is going to have a ripple effect. The little clues that have been dropped,  hopefully, will weave seamlessly to reveal even bigger bombshells for the Dupree's and Martin.
    • Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.   
    • The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archived copy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD
    • Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.
    • What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.
