I would take Aviva Drescher, Kelly Bensimon, Brandi Glanville, Kim Richards at her most desperate and vicious, Jill Zarin, or Kim Zolciak over Ms. Erika Jayne and her frozen sourpuss any day of the week. Hell, give me the Salahi woman from DC.

So agree. She makes everything so tiny into something major and serious. 

 

 

Don't get me started on that trash box occupying the 5th seat on The View. I still wish that they would've wooed back Nicole Wallace or simply kept Jedidiah Bila. Hell, I'd even settle for Elizabeth Hasselbitch returning at this point.

But wasn't she at one point? After all, wasn't Lips trying to get on the show for a while before she actually did?

 

POTOMAC

 

Oooo...Robyn's temper gets the best of her and she got in Monique's face. Uh oh.

 

That said...that looked good. 

 

 

Yeah, I didn't like that at all. Erika has fallen so far since her first season. Bully is not a good look on her. But as that promo reveals (and there was some picture I believe floating around at some point) I am looking forward to Kyle calling her out. Cuz you know it must be bad when KYLE does it.

The amount of gushing and adulation she gets is insane. It's everywhere, on every blog, podcast or article about BH I read. It's got to the point where I actually wonder if I'm nuts for not getting it. I want to like her but there is no humor or shading with her. Everything is so literal. 

 

Everything Teddi relayed to LVP and Kyle about what Dorit said was Facts Only. Seeing Erika go after the newbie to score points for herself is so... pedestrian. Doesn't every low-ranking HW striving for relevancy do this in order to assure her place on the show? Isn't that beneath *Mikey finger-snaps* the Kween of Mykanos? Erika and Rinna are trying to make Teddi the fall guy for the season while Teflon Dorit slithers away unscathed. Erika likes to pretend she's the only one on the show who calls it like it is, but Teddi is fast taking on that mantle now. Plus I don't think Teddi is intimidated by Erika's Tom's money either.

I don't know and can only speculate. But my impression is the Hustler chickened out for S1 because BH was an unknown entity. As its fame quickly grew, she came knocking again. I remember her on WWHL gushing like a fan and name-dropping Kyle. Which is also why I don't buy her recent story that she has never watched the early seasons when her pre-BH appearances on WWHL seemed to suggest otherwise.

 

Erika kind of was bully-ish from day one. She and Yolanda (two peas in a pod) orchestrated the Munchausen witch-hunt. I remember the BBQ at Erika's house where Yolanda showed up and they confronted Rinna about Munchausen, and Erika screamed at Rinna "TELL US WHO F*CKIN TOLD YOU TO SAY IT!" Because Yolanda was busy cryo-freezing the Lyme out of her system much of the time, it was left to Erika to play the enforcer.

    • Perhaps. But would anyone have wanted The Doctors to turn into what General Hospital ultimately became?  Dear God in Heaven...
    • Thanks @EricMontreal22 that must be one of the last issues. Probably the best soap magazine.
    • I can definitely see that airing the same week as The Love Boat colliding with an iceberg and sinking while crossing the North Atlantic on the Titanic anniversary with a “Who lives and dies?!” Promo next to Mr Belvedere being blackmailed over his wanted fugitive status back in the UK

        Agree with you both. I am also going assume that while Hotel may had some big numbers the first 2 seasons BUT the demographics weren’t great. Reason I say this is I distinctly remember my parents watching St Elsewhere and/or The Equalizer after Dynasty.    I still don’t get Hotel’s designation as a primetime soap opera either lol. ABC should have aired Paper Dolls in the 10/9 slot on Wednesdays in the fall of 1984 to give that show some more legs.    Obviously ABC was eyeing a double bill night in the same vein as Dallas & Falcon Crest and that might have worked better than leaving Paper Dolls to the wolves in an untested timeslot.
    • I tend to stay out of EP discussions, simply because I rarely know who EPs when. And they all have their good and bad sides. But how are we supposed to judge JFP on anything other than what we see? I didn't know she was a director or a music director. (and unlike say, Chris Goutman, I never saw her credited as anything other than an EP) Specifically in the matter of casting Crampton, she took credit for it (or at Crampton gave her credit for it, whatever) and it was arguably, one of the worst recasts of the '90's (and either as bad or worse than the actress she fired).  She lost two important actresses in '92 and still decided to kill Maureen.  She had a wildly uneven tenure at GL. It's no wonder she's polarizing. But it kind of proves a point--great soap is always a that rare combination of everything clicking at the same time.  And believe me, if I could bring myself to watch her male successors who were responsible for bringing back Reva and allowing her to eat the show again, or hiring Hunt Block, or being too chicken to stand up to stans who and hamstrung the show with boring couples stuck in the same repetitive stories (Vanessa/Matt, Chelle/Danny or Richard/Cassie, take your pick) not to mention San CristoHELL....I'd be more than happy to roast them on open spits. I guess we end up talking about JFP because she's in a period we can nominally agree was one of the last "best" periods of the show.
    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.
