Between Andy's obvious disappointment and the fact that someone at the reunion is bringing up Leanne saying "f*ggot" several times during filming, I think she's done. If they find the footage of her saying that and add it she's toast. It's just too much to overcome. Plus the ratings for this show are so low it's lucky not to be canceled. I'm fully expecting a full reboot next season and if that doesn't work Dallas is done. They seem to be heavily casting and from what I've seen on Twitter there are four people they're currently doing test filming with. You don't do that if you're just looking for one housewife. Hell, even if Leanne hadn't done this they still needed a reboot so her job was never safe. I do wonder if Kary will be spared due to this drama surrounding her.

I tend to agree that after seeing this week's episode, Leanne is finished.

 

Kary's job should not be spared, however, as she is an atrocious housewife and contributes nothing of any value. The only cast member I would keep is Stephanie because she is beloved - and if that means Brandi too then so be it.

I know some will say "She's a bigot, she doesn't deserve your empathy," but as awful as she has been this season, I can't help but worry how she will deal with the backlash. It's clear Andy and Bravo will wash their hands of her. I believe Leeanne when she says she grew up feeling rejected by people, and this will be renewed rejection on a much bigger scale. I hope she has a support system around her.

 

Bravo and Andy acting outraged and yet: this is the only SL on Dallas right now, people are talking about it, the show may even see a ratings bump because of it.

 

ETA: Not condoning what she said at all. I think she should be fired for this. By the same token, Leeanne is a damaged person and I'm not sure she has the confidence or ego of a Jill Zarin who kept on Zarining even after she was booted from NYC.

As wrong (more thoughtless) as some of her comments were, I still don’t think LeeAnne is racist. She’s such a strong and vocal supporter of diversity. She would be the last one on that cast that I’d consider to be a true racist. I do think half of her comments were again, just saying what Kary always says about herself (strong Mexican). Her other comments though, like chirpy chihuahua, were wrong and tacky. 
 

I can’t see Stephanie without Brandi. I enjoy that duo. I only enjoy D’Andra because of her mother. I like Kameron a lot. So I don’t know how to shake that cast up without taking out someone I like, which sucks.  We do, however need new blood and direction.

Leeanne's official apology was very poor tho. "I'm sorry if I offended anyone...." She doesn't get it even after reunion, and that's a problem. 

 

I love Stephanie too and Kameron. Like you, I also enjoy Mama Dee (kind of like i wouldn't mind seeing Dale on NYC even without Tinsley). So i hope Dallas doesn't completely wipe the slate.

If I were them, I'd keep Stephanie, Kameron, Brandi and D'Andra and add three new wives. Honestly, I'd even be open to four new wives and Brandi as a friend if casting goes well. Dallas needs to come back with the excitement that Miami came back with in season 2. I want it to feel refreshed and new. I'm hoping they can turn things around.

I don't think Leeanne is racist either. I think she's ignorant as f-ck and stupid as hell as she played right into D'Andra and Kary's hands. Leeanne let the little bit of fame get to her head and now she is tarnished going forward. She most definitely is tarnished in my eyes. 

 

But again, I don't think Bravo will fire Leeanne. Vicki has said homophobic sh-t for years and still has a job. So has majority of the ATL cast. Ramona says offensive sh-t on the sly and keeps a job. Brandi said racist sh-t, and Joyce was fired instead of her. And don't get me started on the NJ cast. 

 

While Andy touts his "disgust," his a** is loving this along with the remainder of the execs at Bravo. 

 

I think Leeanne's status with the show all depends on how she reacted at the reunion and how we (the audience) receive. If she is combative and defensive, I think she is done. If she is open and receives the information, she might save herself from being fired. 

 

But I am all for a retool too at this point. Dare I say it but keep Kameron and Stephanie and dump the rest.

at the tension between Kenya and Quad on WWHL. After a clip played of Kenya/Marc arguing, Quad jumped in and asked Kenya a question about her relationship with Marc, and Kenya said, “I’m going to let Andy ask the questions.”

    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense. 
    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

      @ranger1rg I even included a close up of his face for ya!
    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
