The problem with firing Tamra is that you don't have a proper villiness to take over... Vicki is all over the map, Shannon is too quirky, and Lizzie is too bland... Heather would be the perfect choice xcept for the fact that unliek Tamra... Heather can't shift gears if an unexpected situation comes up. Hence why Tamra hasn't been taken down.. Shannon has been the closest imho.

I don't want an athlete or athlete's wife on the show... how about hiring a normal housewife who isn't a famewhore.

Tamra needs to stay. And I say this as someone who can't stand her ass. She is the master puppeteer on that show. Look at the way she dealt with those women at Reunion. Only Vicki bested her with that AMAZING monologue.

Vicki and/versus Tamra is still where it's at. And Tamra vs Shannon is a pretty close second.

I love how even the haters cant deny Tamra's value to the show. The Queen lives to reign another day! Tamra stirs the pot. She brings the drama to the forefront and has no problem planting seeds. She gives the other women plenty of material to work with as she pushes story forward. It would be boring without her bc the rest are rather tame and would find it easier to work out their issues without her around, but who wants to watch that? We want the conflict and bitching!

I'll own it. :lol: Sometimes there are characters you just love to hate, and I fully admit Tamra works that role with me (and even Vicki sometimes). In a way, Kyle is like that for me, too (can't believe I admit it because I despise her, but I sort of need her around to hate on and make fun of).

Agreed on both points. Love 'em or hate 'em, Tamra is needed on OC and Kyle is needed on BH. They stir the pot, but don't make it too dark & dirty. (Same with Ramona on NYC. An entire season of Carole, Heather, and Kristen all lovey-dovey together would be Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

I do agree about Tamra as I said before... and I think even though she was a little sloppy this season (i.e. under estimating Shannon, using Shannon to get back at Heather), she was still loads better at the villianess part then Heather could ever dream to be.

I'm one of those that prefers a balance with some lovey dovey mixed in with real conflict. I think the OC and Atlanta have been smart with picking new housewives that are interesting people, plus can play off the other housewives. NY, NJ, and BH have struggled with that thus far.

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that charcter. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
