I for one can't wait for the Japan trip where we get to see whatever the reveal about Tanya was that may the producers consider adding her last minute down to the point that I expect her to be in the intro post-Japan.

 

A little too much exposure on Porsha, but I'm in a place where I don't mind seeing her now. That said...she could do better looks wise than that guy IMHO. lol.

 

I thought it was a nice fun reboot.

DALLAS 

 

Great episode. The Leanne/D'Andra couch strike moment was dramatically shot. 

 

NJ

 

A better debut than ATL. Melissa remains a total irrelevance but Margaret is still a highlight. 

 

Dolores was minimizing what Frank did. Misappropriating trust funds is a really serious thing.

Watched New Jersey last night and was pleasantly surprised. So glad Soggy is gone and Dolores can be her own person. Granted, she's kinda dumb but enjoyable. I'm glad whatever happened to her at the reunion (bad work done; weight gain) is over with. 

 

Margaret needs to get her house done. Even when the cameras are not rolling. The fact that she's literally done nothing since filming wrapped last season - even the party decorations are still up! - is silly.  Meanwhile, I continue to love Marge Sr. 

 

Teresa vs. Melissa. Hmm... I don't *think* the rift will be too much of a rehash of seasons 3-5. It seems like it'll stem from Joe's absence from his & Tre's father. 

 

Danielle is still just a "friend of," right? 

 

Teresa... I'm sorry, but with the badly done lips, the process of aging, and whatever is happening to her nose (middle-age spread?), she is not looking good. When she's coated in makeup and bronzer, she looks similar to her old self, but in every day life, she looks quite goofy. Her appearance on WWHL that night, with her "asian" eyes makes me think she had a face lift or brow lift or something... I'm sure @DaytimeFan can give us his professional analysis on what's happening here. 

 

When you see how much Teresa's kids have grown, you realize just how damn long you've been watching this show. Time and real-life traumas seem to have grounded them. Looks like Gia will provide a good voice of reason for the family this season. 

 

Overall, the episode and the preview shows good potential. I'm pleasantly surprised and hope it turns out to be a good year.

Im going by the article that says she isnt confirmed to be full time yet and we likely wont know until Bravo makes a statement and/or its closer to airing. I remember the same thing happening with Danielle with her being assumed to be full time since she filmed so much yet they only had her as a friend when the season debuted

I’d love it bc I’m not sold on Barbara, but I don’t believe Jill will be more than a guest. 

 

ETA thoughts on the others:

 

RHOC - I’m still bored. This was by no means a bad season but it lacked momentum and chemistry with the cast. I watch and enjoy but I’m ready for it to be over and to see what they do next season.

RHOJ - Ever since the season six reboot I’ve been back in love here. I think the Manzo’s needed to go to reset the storylines and it’s mostly worked. Last season was good but my biggest complaint was them throwing out months of filming and using it only in flashbacks. I gave them a pass because it gave us 13 tight episodes and with Teresa grieving her mother it made sense to skip a lot of that as it would’ve been very dark.

 

Now fast forward to this premiere and they’ve done it again except it is obviously to limit Danielle’s screentime. Starting with season six they keep doing this weird thing of changing their minds while filming and cutting lots of stuff. I don’t get that. OC may not always be successful in its delivery but at least they stick to what was planned. It’s odd that everybody is talking about Danielle and she’s featured in all the flashbacks yet she doesn’t have her own POV. They should’ve treated her as a full time housewife since it’s obvious she was filmed that way. 

 

Beyond that I enjoyed it. I always found the truce between Melissa and Teresa to be forced so I’m looking forward to that being derailed. I enjoyed Dolores so much more without Siggy! The stuff with Frank surprised me as I’d completely forgotten the reunion. Margaret was fun as always. Andy compared her to Dorinda and I agree. She came late but just fits. 

 

My verdict off one episode is that NJ will have a good season!

    • One of the dumbest situations (Lando) ever. What audience member is going to invest in a storyline with a recast they don't like and a triangle where one character is short-term? It bombed as it should have done. So much of JFP's tenure just reeks of desperation. I don't get how someone could produce SB (which did have flaws but was often brilliant) but make so many terrible mistakes at GL.   I still think JFP would have worked better as a director and music supervisor. Her music work at SB was top notch.  It just seems that Rea was minimized during JFP's tenure because I can't imagine her okaying so many of these casting choices.

        Article (not that you'd want to read it, just proof that it unfortunately exists) https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/style/trump-style-100-days.html non-paywall copy: https://archive.is/ICe7U  
    • We see the same with GH, where Mark Teschner, the casting director, reportedly has less say since Frank Valentini took over. Some producers want to take over every aspect of their shows.  I think Lando may have been a CBS push.
    • No idea but she won Emmys & she was the Casting Director at the same time for both ATWT & GL. She hired Lisa Brown with no job for her. Then Marland made Brown his muse so he created both Iva & Nola for her. But, I think we know that Jill does what Jill wants. 
    • I did notice a decline in the quality of the performers being cast once Betty R vacated/retired from her position. We would have been spared from the nightmares of some of the castings that dominated the show in the last decade or so of the soap. JFP was an example of someone, no matter the gender, who had no business being in the position they were in.
    • If Betty Rea was the casting director, why was so much of GL during JFP's reign cast by her? Walker, Deas, Crampton, Lando, etc. JFP takes credit for Dusay as well. What is the point of having a casting director, if you don't let her do her job? What happened when Rea left? 
    • So much on here slips my mind but this is the first I remember hearing of Peterson's passing. Very sad. Nell was a thankless role, clearly set up for a cheating storyline with Frank, but Peterson did her best.  Betty Rea Rea was the casting director for the soap opera “Guiding Light” from 1970 to 1996 and simultaneously the casting director for “As the World Turns” from 1979 to 1983.
    • Sorry, just one more post on the Thorntons. How did Ruth and Edna feel about each other prior to Tad dating Dotty?
    • I can't remember exactly but I think it may be 1995 as Jake was trying to hide from a loan shark.
