Do NOT take away our precious Dorinda!

 She belongs on the show that made a miraculous recovery, with her helping hand! 

 

POTOMAC: I know I should be rolling my eyes at Gizelle's "word on the street" tagline for the third consecutive year, but for some reason I like her.

The lame taglines came out so much better than they sounded. Kudos.

 

As for the new ones....YAAAAAASSSSS, KAREN!!!! Still slayed. 

Speaking of Kenya's husband...looks like that POTOMAC link also has a link to his first appearance...

She is not universally adored, and you are not the only person to dislike Kenya. Even this season, with the marriage to Marc Daly, there were plenty of viewers who believed it was fake for the show. Many still do. Kenya shot herself in the foot her first season with that fake Walter SL, not to mention tangling with Apollo (no female viewer is going to look kindly on that). As a result, it's like the boy who cried wolf with Kenya.

 

Speaking for myself, I grew to like her. She's not my favourite HW, but I liked what I saw of her vulnerability. I believe what she went through with her mom is real and not inflated for the cameras.

 

She was somewhat absent and not really 'there' this season, and given that the whole season has been a dud (for me), I'm hoping her more active participation next year will bring something better. IMO, ATL needs a big clear-out. I don't think Sheree or Porsha should return, at least with peaches. I don't think Kim, Marlo, Shamea or Eva should get peaches at all. I think something needs to shake-up the Nene-Cynthia-Kandi-Kenya core. I wish I knew who or what that was. I used to think Marlo would add some spice, but I'm underwhelmed by her this year.

I didn't begin at all as a lover of Kenya. I did love her hustle though. She came in roaring...with a plot, a catchphrase, and a performance on WWHL that I still found hilarious to this day. And over the years, she definitely brought the drama...which was needed. And with a sense of humor.

 

I grew to love her though. She reveal her softer side and it looked good on her. Now if she wanted to leave, I would be happy because she got what she came on the show to get IMHO.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
    •   @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.
