Gosh, Jay, I don't know! Why WOULD Bravo cut that scene? Unless it was to make Erika and her coven of cheerleaders look moderately better!

I just want to say: Dorit nastily policing Garcelle's tone and telling her to sit down was just awful. The more I think about it, the more smug and awful she becomes. She really thought she was some boss socialite maven handling Garcelle like that, but ultimately she handled nothing. You could tell through Garcelle's sunglasses that she lost what little regard she may have had for this try-hard, ignorant fool.

Garcelle wasn't in her face in my view. She got up to leave and then Dorit said she was rushing away from the discussion, so Garcelle answered her. She was angry/hurt but not aggressive to Dorit when she responded to her standing up, I thought. Maybe I should rewatch that bit again.

Danny Pellegrino in his podcast (which i just started listening to) just said "We not only had Sutton vs Erika, we had Dorit vs Garcelle, we had Rinna dressed as the zebra character in Madagascar..."

Not literally. By in her face, I meant facing her versus what Dorit was accusing her of which was running. I agree she was more angry and hurt than aggressive. But I know how it looks when someone is standing over someone a la Porsha vs Cynthia on the boat RHOA S8. And that was just between two black women, one of whom has a history of attacking people. I can only imagine how the optics look to the Coven.

For sure they will bring it up at some point to make themselves look like the intimidated victims. Garcelle made me feel uncomfortable and *fwightened*

That scene with Sutton talking about lending money to Erika is still eye-opening to me. Wow. How could production cut that important 50 seconds out? It explains a lot but I guess the Coven needed to bang on about 'selfish Sutton concerned about her society rep.

That scene gives so much context as to why Sutton had to get a legal opinion. She was prepared to loan Erika money! How dare Erika treat her so appallingly after she was willing to go out on a limb for her, financially. 

This season of BH continues to be riveting because it is based in reality and the dark underbelly of LA. 

Dorit has blown it with the audience. I really didn't like who I saw in that moment with Garcelle.

Garcelle wasn't about to let Dorit pull a fast one on her and she reacted swiftly and surely. It was great to see Crystal and Kathy have her back, even if Kathy was applying lipstick half the time, oblivious to what was going on. 

I really did believe that scene between Kathy and Kyle was genuine. Kathy doesn't articulate the hurt feelings that well, probably because she doesn't want to get into specifics, but the pain was there.

That's a good idea. Famiy Karma a few weeks back didn't have a reunion to speak of, but they did appear remotely on WWHL to touch on a few of this season's SLs and play a few 'who would you rather' type games. It was light, very breezy 20 min episode, perfect for Andy's short attention span. A similar show might actually close the door on this season's RHONY in a non-toxic, entertaining way. 

Forgot to address the first part of your post -- yes, I can see what you mean when someone stands over you, it changes the dynamic. It is worth noting that Dorit and Garcelle were both icily sober and i don't think would ever have gotten physical. They are too much aware of their onscreen personas and how they present themselves. Porsha & Cynthia escalated because of alcohol and because P had zero desire to curb her impulses. She was deeply resentful that most of the cast had little respect for her. Her position on the show was precarious and her instinct was to lash out via physical intimidation. It was the go-to of a weak person. Porsha hadn't yet learned how to battle with words and wit. I'm glad the rest of the cast shut down that behavior and told her point blank it was unacceptable. It forced her to change her entire approach because she badly wanted to build a career on the show.

UGH, Mia cant even be messy properly. She shouldnt have back pedeled so quickely. I hate that Bravo hyped up this episode as if it were going to be round 2 of Wendy going in on the GEBs and it ended so anticlimatic

      Plus we are never going to have a Shonda Rhimes, a Dick Wolf, or a Chuck Lorre of daytime -- a single brilliant person who could come in and change the genre -- because Shonda, Dick, or Chuck would only be able to work on one soap opera at a time, not three or four at the same time as they do in primetime.  As long as TPTB insist on the 60-minute format, we will never have another super influential individual like Phillips, Nixon, or Bell.  They simply would never have time to do more than one soap opera at a time and that would stifle their influence overall. Thanks. So maybe this is happening to some degree in other entertainment genres.  I don't keep up with the particular franchises you mentioned, so I was unaware.  I appreciate your perspective.

      I think it's become more common in other genres in recent decades, as the industry as a whole has collapsed - these are complaints that have been made about creative talents in the MCU, Star Wars, Doctor Who, etc.  The MCU is in that place now as they burnt so much goodwill that even when their new movie got strong reviews, the audience didn't show up - similar to how AW got some praise for their 89-93 material compared to some of the barren years beforehand, but viewers just weren't coming back.  (I know they did return, somewhat, in the JFP run, but not enough to make up for the big budget she used)

      I mean I really hope so. Still kinda amazed though that it would get by Standards & Practices. A pair that was talked about that I could see it was Jacob Young & that guy who kept changing what name he went by Someone Martines at least part of the time, but at any rate Jacob was playing Lucky & this other guy was playing Nikolas.

      Excellent explication. That doing it in these two examples, is not like doing it in other similar genres or franchises, so one could easily postulate that the people who hire do not generally consider "newbies" but instead insist upon experienced people, which leads to rehiring rather than hiring from "outside" which is what your closed system is all about.  When you think about it how many people can you name who did soaps who came from outside? I can only think of 3 HWs : Pete Lemay, Hogan Sheffer & Michael Malone. For EPs only 2: Wendy Riche & Linda Gottlieb

      I saw some people mentioning this and I was curious too - did Bo already know Caroline was dead? Maybe they decided it was too much for Bo to process losing Caroline along with Victor and Doug.

      @asafi Thanks for sharing. A nice milestone. I'm not sure if she is referring to just DAYS, as otherwise she isn't alone (Ken Barlow and Rita Fairclough on Corrie are two others).

      Someone making that must have had a laugh. I have to admit I never saw any chemistry between them.

      That'a an interesting comparison, and might be a parallel.  But i also know too little about sports  to really comment on it's accuracy.  It might have something to do with a "closed" system, and the consuming nature of producing or writing a daytime drama and coaching.  Both in football and daytime, those factors make it hard for new talent to break into the system.  And even a very talented coach or daytime writer or executive producer can only do one team (or one show) at a time, limiting that person's impact on the entire system.

      Despite most of John’s family not being in this episode, I like that the ripple effects of his death are still being felt across Salem.  Welcome back, Jack and Jennifer!  I really enjoyed their scenes with Julie. Little family moments like that on soaps are always a good thing. And I agree, Julie. As great as it is to see everybody, I wish it was for a better occasion too.  I’m glad that we finally got Tate’s POV regarding John, though his scene with Cat did seem a little random. But I love that Holly rushed to the apartment to comfort him after she found out about John. Despite everything and despite the chemistry that they have with other characters, I like the two of them together. Btw, is Cat looking so closely at the pictures of John and Sami going to mean something in the future? Her date with Chad seemed a little unnecessary though.  I also do like the idea of Ari and Holly being friends, mostly because of the mess that it could lead to with Doug III. Tying that mess together with Tate, Sophia, the baby and the guy stalking Doug III could all be pretty good. And yeah, we really should’ve seen Ari talking to Will about John. Hopefully, they have scenes together coming up. And also, Doug III still needs someone much better to confide in about his problems  Speaking of that someone, we’re really lucky that Ron was sent packing before John’s death was written because y’all know that if Ron was writing it, Leo would’ve been front and center in all of this, and comforting his “bestie” Marlena

      His scenes with Jack were unnecessary too. Honestly, Jack should be beating the holy hell out of him for what he did to Gwen.  And, I’m really interested in the mystery of who Gabi heard EJ arguing with the night he was shot. I don’t think it was Johnny.

      Remember when we used to talk about homoerotic subtext on GH? Like this Bromance? Sonny & Jason! I remain somewhat amazed that ABC used it as a promo https://www.instagram.com/p/DH3fKzjJyy4/
