Both Heather and Kristen were women I didn't appreciate until after they left (Season 6 was just a mess for me overall). Especially if she had done another season post-Ashley Madison scandal. As for Heather, that dumbass Leah had to scare her off from sticking around on the last (sob!) season.

YAAAASSSSSSSSSSS to this gif. 

 

 

Caroline knows who? And Prince Andrew, too? Wait...what???

 

That said...Oooooo...that trailer appears to be good. Cuz I bet Lesa read Caroline down. 

 

Naomi calling in was EVERYTHING. 

 

That book of lies is soooo Monique's binder. 


Can't wait.

I 100% give Lesa props for THE standout moment of the entire trailer. Caroline thought she ended her with that escort punch, but Lesa came back in a second with the Epstein double whammy and silenced her. 

Like @Taoboi I didn't know of Caroline's ties to Prince Andrew, but it makes sense given the boarding school she went to and the circles she ran in back in London. There must be a lot of socialites currently distancing themselves from him at this present time. He was always sniffing around richies and trying to get them to pay for his homes, etc. Caroline's ex husband, Cem, is in the oil business in Azerbaijan, and Andrew has long tried to ingratiate himself with the ruthless leaders of those oil republics.

Same. I am looking forward to Lesa vs Caroline, but throughout the season (I still haven't watched last week's episode yet so my apologies for not replying yet to it...later today

Please register in order to view this content

 ), I have always felt the potential was there for a rivalry. Especially since the first trailer we got hinted at one. But yet it appeared that it was Ayan vs Caroline. Now I too am wondering if Lesa has been more subtle (how LoL of her if so) at coming at Caroline. Things to make you go hmmm.

 

I mean all that tea...just...wow...it makes me want to go back to LoL to see if anything peeks out now. I mean...like you said...it makes sense. Since Caroline did run those circles and was part of that elite. And yet...it just never occurred to me that that was even a possibility. Mind blown.

I agree.  When it first aired, I thought Kristen was whiney and getting way too much airtime, and s6 was problematic af.  But on a rewatch, I really appreciate the season for certain things—Carole was a great heroine, Carole/Heather is my favorite RHoNY friendship, LuAnn got her groove back, and there’s something tragically real about Kristen’s struggles with her husband, working on her daughter’s mobility issues, and coping with being an aging model.  Aviva and Sonja’s totally fake storylines were unwatchable and now we know Ramona was trying to hide her dissolving marriage.  Highs and lows, but s7’s retooling obviously saw the show firing on all cylinders.

Wow. Those Carolines looked so pressed.

 

Finally watched last week's episode ahead of the finale tonight. And that was the impression I got from watching it. That and it felt uneven regardless of the Ayan's reveal at the end of the episode. 

 

It has been established during the season that sometimes for all of her languages that she speaks, that Ayan does have a language barrier. And as someone who has had to deal with it often, there are moments where that is true...and moments when that is not the case. THIS is the former. The fact that Caroline was trying to make it into the latter for Brooks really took away any good will she had made toward Ayan. And Ayan was and continued to be the bigger person this past week, making up for me being Team Caroline the week before. That Caroline would throw her under the bus (but thankfully Production did the rollback to show the many times Ayan APOLOGIZED to Caroline) simply showed how threatened she is to me of Ayan. The sad thing is they are really and truly just alike...simply different approaches. But heaven forbid Caroline actually listens, too focused on her own agenda...or as Ayan, Lesa, and Brooks all pointed out...her being a Karen.

 

As for Brooks, she is clearly jealous of how much Lesa and Ayan have each other's back. I guess I would have to know how long Brooks and Ayan were friends before Lesa because she is coming across as if she is mad that Lesa stole her away. Then again, I started to wonder (and those Production rollbacks did not help) if Brooks is right and Lesa is moving a lot more subtle a la an LVP than it appears. Not a sniper from the side mind you, but definitely keeps her hands clean. 

 

And then...Sergio...hmmm...I'm sorry he ruined the vibe. How is the group going to gell if he keeps popping in. It reminds me of the tales I hear here and online of Alex and Simon from NY. 

 

AYAN. Continues to be authentic to me...over the top and all. Sorry, not sorry. And at this point, it really does feel like they are coming for her because they are basic. Goodness knows being into it with her keeps people relevant on this show. If she was not the HBIC, these little girls would not be running around trying to make it seem like Ayan was being extra otherwise. Ayan was actually trying to be the bigger person and that's shocking given how she started out the season. That said...that reveal of what happened to her when she was five. That was sad. 

 

CAROLINE. Smh. I feel like I've been the biggest supporter of her being on the show, and that she would start to bring it. Oh, she's bringing it and showing more. And yet...this? No, ma'am!! lol. The walking definition of 'two steps forward, four steps backwards.' She was actually in the right in the disagreement with Ayan. And while Ayan rose to the occasion...Caroline took them all the waaaaaay back to Square One, by being LoL Caroline and not accepting the apology.  Then she killed the vibe by having (and allowing) Sergio to show up to camera-hop and give us weak camera time when she was starting to give WITHOUT him. THEN she started lying about Ayan to Brooks. Though I thought it was hilarious that she worked this hard to discredit Ayan and yet if Ayan is just a puppet, she didn't want her??? Isn't Juliet and half of her friends puppets to her? Just saying...

 

LESA. Hmmmmm. That is the sound of me giving her some side-eye? Could she be playing in everyone's face and we don't know it? Or is she right? After all she said at the beginning at the season that the cause of her rivalry with Caroline was the fact that Nina had been warning her off of Caroline...only to turn around and become friends with Caroline herself. So...who can be believed? At least she called her out.

 

NINA. Yeeeeah, I don't think the girls are wrong about her. She definitely ran after Caroline when she ran away. And one can questioned where her loyalty lies.

 

BROOKS. Speaking of loyalty, I was looking at her this episode and thinking of Porsha's taunting of Cynthia on RHOA about flip flopping and being two faced. There she was relating with Ayan and Lesa. In fact, what she said about black women vs white women resonated with me, bringing up a past love...well a woulda, coulda, shoulda...where my friends were more about another friend being happy with him and deserve to be happy versus...I didn't deserve to be happy...in the end, he was better off with me. But...as the black person, you are just supposed to suck it up...like you don't have feelings of your own.  Just ugh. Sorry. Rant. Anyway, there was Brooks being messy with Caroline later on as if she was not just relating with Ayan and Lesa. And then she threw her own jealousy into the conversation when she knows Lesa and Caroline are prickly with each other. Flip flopper.

 

SARA. Enjoyed her having fun. And then other than a slight hint of pot stirring (as if Ayan wouldn't say what she said to her face) between Ayan and Nina, she didn't do anything this episode.

 

Bring on the finale!!!

    • Yeah, right, they've got Cam playing Love2Hate Drew in extremis & they're not gonna play that hand out?!!!  I figure they use the prison beat-down for a redemptive phase but only when they think they've wrung every possible drop out of this absolutely odious every day villain they've created!

    • Respectfully agree to disagree. We had 4 episodes with original flashbacks integrated well into contemporary scenes that were sweet, romantic, that resonated, that hit all the possible nostalgic chords & that shows me the writing team not only cares for these 2 characters but that they were really excited about writing for them. And, we also have the quote from Korte/VanEtten beginning of the year-ish that they considered Lucky & Liz a foundational couple for the canvas.  I thought Lucky's saying he didn't think he'd stay once she turned down his marriage proposal to be good character motivation. I also thought the idea of some summer travels with Aiden supports character integrity.  Going by his exit interviews, what's left is people & logistics/scheduling, etc. & there's no way a writing team can anticipate an actor taking an out in their contract ahead of time. They have to deal with it, in the moment, when it comes up & likely it's going to make a bit of a mess to whatever they have sketched out in the long story thrust. 
    • I had a driver taking me to Infusion the other day & we were talking about soaps. She was out of touch but had been a CBS fan, from TPIR, all day till Oprah. Telling her about BTG. What network? CBS. When: 2pm. Is it between ATWT & GL? Oh, girl, you are so behind. So, she was appalled when I briefly brought her up to date BUT she remained interested in hearing more about BTG, so that was a plus.  Last weekend I got a haircut so it is the way I like it, short & spiky but of course it's purple. Recently, I was waiting for my ride outside the Infusion Center & a woman comes up to me, about my age, short spiky hair but all white. She raves about my purple hair & says she is a pancreatic cancer survivor & purple is that color (which I knew) and she is thinking going purple but doesn't know where to start. So I tell her about Splat, no bleach req'd, easy, etc. & she's getting excited & my driver pulled up, & stuck her head out & said, Donna? & she had purple hair, too! I felt like we were in a purple vortex. It was both lovely & surreal.      
    • We saw Hope, with Bo, where she revealed John's death to him & he immediately wanted to leave for Salem & we saw the two of them talk to a doc or an admin about whether he would be allowed to be discharged yet.  Someone, maybe Will, talked to Sami on the phone and at the airport Sydney had taken a fall, sounded like she was on a moving sidewalk, and had at least 2 breaks & was scheduled for some kind of orthopedic surgery.  Since it is clear that Sweeney cannot or will not be available, again I say  it is time to recast.  Wasn't Carrie lock-step with Belle the whole time? In general I thought all of the eulogies were both good & appropriate. Yes, Paul touched me like no other. Loved Abe. I still miss previous Little Rachel but for the first time new Little Rachel also moved me. And, amazingly, I am caught up again. Whoopeee!

    • In true TV tradition Dani kept her bra on during sex. Couldn't we have been treated to Andre in his underwear , rather than trousers on already? I took Hayley's reaction as teasing. Surely she wouldn't think for a moment Bill was fooling around with Ashley? I agree that Dupree staircase looks a little basic.Wish for something grander. And in the living room there was a lamp in front of the door. Huh? Is that a closet? Would you have built in storage in a living room in a house of that size? Chelsea has millions of followers?
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16N2KPYDxR/ During the livestream tribute to #DrakeHogestyn we discussed the taping of #JohnBlack funeral scenes on Days of our Lives beautifully stated by his TV children Eric Martsolf Martha Madison
    • 1976 Pt 2 A young woman named Tina calls Norman’s hospital room, claiming she’s in town and is broke and upset about his condition. He firmly tells her to stay away, but she sneaks into his room later, upsetting him. He tells her she’s ruining his plan, but she can’t see why— after all, he’s told her he loves her, and they will soon be married. Norman becomes irate and starts yelling, claiming all his problems are because of Sandy. Meanwhile, Bob, who had left the floor station for Norman’s room, discovered he’d forgotten his stethoscope and returned to his office for it. Nurses passing Norman’s room heard loud shouting from within but assumed everything was under control, as Dr. Hughes was in there. When Bob finally returns, he finds Norman alone. Tina has slipped out, and Norman has had another heart attack. All emergency methods fail, and Norman dies. Bob takes it hard; he was his doctor and couldn’t save him. John Dixon, long resentful and bitter at Bob’s successes in his career, subtly manages to force a hearing into Norman’s death. The floor nurses report that Bob went to Norman’s room and an argument followed; then Bob called for help when Norman went into heart failure. Bob’s report is contradictory that he went for his stethoscope and found Garrison already stricken. Bob, assuming that this is only a routine death, has already left on a short vacation, untroubled and unsuspecting, so his written report must stand. He returns to find that the situation has escalated into a full-fledged investigation. Learning that the argument is the bone. of contention, Sandy comes forward and claims that she was in Norman’s room, arguing with him. Bob refuses to let her perjure herself, which John manages to use as credence in Norman’s contention that Bob and Sandy were having an affair. ‘Bob is angry when, after a week, the hospital board hands him an official reprimand; thinking this is virtually an accusation of guilt, Bob refuses to accept it. His first reaction is his resignation, but upon thinking it through, he decides he’s going to fight this. He withdraws his hasty resignation and begins to work with Tom to reconstruct the events of the day Norman died. Nurse Connolly finally admits that someone could have entered Norman’s room unseen, but Floor Nurse Holland is firmly convinced no one did. Carol Stallings is upset to learn that the business tactics of her husband, Jay, while legal, are not as ethical and moral as she would have hoped. Chris Hughes has asked Tom to take over Jay’s legal affairs for the firm. Tom decides the opportunity is too good to refuse, even though he personally doesn’t like Jay - and knows Jay resents him, as he and Carol were at. one time married. Tom soon finds that some of Jay’s proposed new dealings are somewhat illegal, in the gray area, and tells him he advises against them. It is a  lawyer’s function to protect clients from making this kind of mistake, he explains. Kim Dixon has recovered physically from the injuries she sustained when she was hit on the head during a tornado, but her amnesia continues. She has been told that she was about to divorce John and marry Dan, but cannot seem to feel any emotions toward Dan now. In fact, she has noticed that most of the people around her seem to dislike John, and she is therefore feeling sympathetic toward him. John manages to usé Kim’s uncertainty to widen the gap between her and Dan, and finally convinces Kim to let him move back home. Dan is very badly hurt upon learning of this. Kim explains to Bob that she feels uncomfortable with Dan—she senses that he expects more of her than she can deal with now—while John has been thoughtful and understanding of her. Susan Stewart, Dan’s ex-wife, has stopped drinking, and tries to help Dan through this painful time by taking the holiday season responsibilities for Emily and Betsy upon herself to relieve Dan of the burden. (Emily is Dan and Susan’s daughter; Betsy believes she is Dan’s orphaned niece but is in reality his daughter by the late Elizabeth Stewart.) Dan’s misery at Kim’s apparent rejection has finally  convinced him to accept a medical-mission assignment in Bolivia. Kim, meanwhile, has been having momentary flashes of memory, but none are long enough so that she can understand what she’s remembering. On the night Dan is leaving for Bolivia, however, she has a coherent recollection and remembers the letter she wrote to Dan saying she wanted to be with him for the rest of their lives. Learning that he is leaving immediately, Kim leaves three messages on his answering machine. But Susan, who still wants Dan back, overhears Kim on the phone and goes to Dan’s office, where she removes the tape. Susan later tells Kim that Dan got the messages but they weren’t important enough to handle before leaving for South America. Susan then suggests to Kim that she gracefully end it by writing to Dan saying it’s all over, and to press Kim further shé suggests that Kim has been ungrateful to John for the constant care and concern he’s shows her during the past weeks. I believe the Dan going to Bolivia story was when John Reilly left. When Dan returned, it was again John Colenback. So the Kim/Dan story had been initiated with Reilly/Hays.
    • Ok, so the memorial felt a bit... underwhelming. I couldn’t help but wonder - where’s Julie? Would’ve made sense for her to be sitting next to Marlena. And Maggie, who’s been close to John and Marlena for decades? Sami? Hope? Carrie? What about Tony and Anna? Jack and Jen? And Will? And Kristen - even just a short, quiet scene of Eileen Davidson by his grave would’ve added so much depth. That said, Paul’s eulogy really stood out. The line “Can’t wait to play basketball with you again” was genuinely moving.
