Is it just me or are they taking a long time to start filming RHOC? Vicki was on WWHL and she mentioned she hasn't seen Tamra since the reunion, which suggests they haven't started filming yet. I wonder if since they'll be putting RHONY out in a more timely fashion, they decided to hold off on OC? Or maaybe they're having trouble with casting.

They might be putting it off seeing as they'll probably need a housewife show to air in the summer in case they decide to put RHONJ on that sabbatical. I'm assuming that NYC will be back some time around Feb/Mar/April.

This is why I feel like Bravo should just bring back Miami and start filming now so it'll be ready to air by the summer. They already have Marysol, Alexia, Adriana, Lea, and Lisa on standby. They can find one or two [preferably two] women to add to the cast before it goes to air.

Meanwhile, air Cheshire and Melbourne in primetime slots Spring/Summer quarters opposite NYC.

But back to RHOC, they just need to bring back two old faces for the 10th season--Gretchen and Jeana. Out of the alumni, those two are still talked and asked about till this day. Hell, they both were brought up on WWHL tonight. Plus, they still have ties in the group. Jeana is good with Vicki and Trampra. Gretchen is good with Lizzie and Shannon. Plus, Vicki holds no ill will towards her.

Why not bring these two back for the 10th season?

Plus, I need to 10th season to be the real season of Trailer Sue's downfall. Who better to have a hand in it then Gretchen? :P

I'd kill to see Gretchen/Lizzie/Shannon/Vicki forming an alliance against Trailer Sue with Pleather waffling between the two sides and Jeana being the mediator.

I know some think BH is boring but Im loving it this season. I dont need them to be fighting to be entertained. I like the interactions and insight into the women's lives. There's good balance and its clear this wont last so I'll enjoy it before the sh-t storm comes

I like Eileen but I dont think I like her for this show. I think she should have been just a friend and pop up to support Rinna. I kind of get the feeling of TMI with her. I dont want to see or hear about her issues with her husband. She also comes across a bit too dry and stiff and her jokes arent funny. I hope this show doesnt make me not like her.

Funny watching her go over her lines with her neice bc I actually watched that scene on Y&R...lol. During what storyline did she have her son? Was that when Ashley had that baby switch?

Rinna continues to be just pure fun. Best addition to this series ever

I love that Brandi was barely on this episode. She can stick to her one segments

Kim surprisingly is working for me this season. I like her storyline with her ex husband. Its pretty sweet and it was good to see her happy

I am loving it, too! I feel like it is a return to Season 1 when we saw the women's individual lives,and when they finally did hang it was worth it because the drama was a slow build. I am also liking how much they are emphasizing relationships which actually work between the women. For now.

Yolanda has done a complete 180, and I totally believed 110% what she was saying about how upset she was after her father died in a car crash, now Bella gets a DUI. I also felt for her when she said that once her daughters hit 18 and get independent, she will no longer have the influence over them. "I am 'just' the mother."

Lawd knows I am not a fan of Kyle, but that yacht and Med vacation looked amazing. I don't know whether they changed production teams but last season the filming made BH look so ratchet. Here it looks a million bucks again.

IA with what you are saying about My Eileen. I love her and think that behind the cool exterior is a nervous dork tbh -- and that's why she is so good at playing both Ashley and Kristen -- but I can see why it is not translating seamlessly.

Lisa Rinna was BORN to be on this show. I cannot believe she is a newbie. I cannot believe she wasn't in Season 1. What I would have given to see her and Camille, or her giving Taylor a few choice words.

Lisa, Ken and Giggy are just adorable, their life really revolves around that dog. Especially Ken, who is happy to get a lower billing than even Giggy. What an adorable teddy bear of a man he is.

While I totally believe that Lisa has done lots for the LBGT community and is a supporter from way back, it sort of makes me cringe when they trot out a couple of overplucked dudes I never heard of to play the gay stereotype. Maybe it is just me. If they want to do that, why can't it be Ken Paves? He is Lisa V's hair guy, friend and I really like him on QVC lol. I can even deal with the shi shi shi shi wedding planner who wanted to skinny dip with Jax!

Brandi. Was she on?

I am ok with Kim this season too, but I think we owe a debt of gratitude to Kathy Hilton for that. I wish Kathy was a regular on BH tbh. Her cold staredown of Kyle every episode makes Stumpy McSplits seem even shorter than she already is. Having said that, Kyle and Kyle's Hair were looking BOSS at this wedding.

Lisa reading Brandi again next week! I thought she had already said everything perfectly on the phone the week before but hey, preach it one more time, Lisa! Brandi didn't get it the first time around.

P.s.: Who called Viveca the industry's granny whore? laugh.png I mean, I don't hate her or anything but that made me laugh. laugh.png

I think these first few episodes of BH this season were totally neccessary because of all the toxicity of season 4, plus it gave us a chance to get to know some of the women outside of their relationships with each other. It does harken back to old school housewives and I like that. Plus, it has given us a chance to get to know Eileen and Lisa Rinna as individuals first. I think the show last season made a mistake by not giving that same treatment to Joyce and Carleton.

While Kim being mother of the bride doesn't exactly scream edge of your seat tv, you have to admit it's leaps better then watching her trying to train that dog. (if you hadn't viewed the secrets revealed episode from season 4, you'd assume that's all she did all season). I do like seeing that at her core is a caring woman and it makes one wonder how she would have turned out if she hadn't been a child star nor if she hadn't had a domineering mother.

Next week is when the women finally interact, and I'm glad there will be some Lisa R individual moments too. I think if each episode has a good balance of organic drama and the fun moments.. it can make a great season.

With that said, I think Yolanda/Brandi are trying to start drama with Lisa V.. and she isn't having any of it.. which makes me think the reports of everyone getting along till close to the end of filming sound legit.

Yes! :lol: She deserves to get a better sendoff than what she got. And yes, I don't care for Slade that much but just to watch Tamra squirm at Gretchen's presence is enough for me.

I personally called her that because that what she is. Vivica is more known for her relations than her actual career, which is funny because she's hopped on the "Kenya is a wh*re" bandwagon because she and Kenya feud on Celebrity Apprentice.

These chicks kill me with their insults when they are known doing the acts they are accusing others of.

Um.

I'm assuming that's the real NeNe. But if you tell me it's a drag queen, I will believe you 100%.

I echo what y'all have said about BH's slow build-up. It was necessary and it's refreshing. Granted, I'm ready for some Dinner Parties From Hell, but we can't have those every week, so a nice build-up to the main events is welcome.

Lisa & Lisa... keep it coming! Their sexy banter is loads more funny than anything Brandi has spewed out. Oh, was she on last night's episode? Bravo is smart in showing Brandi minimally after we OD'ed on her in the first 3 episodes.

I agree that Kim is more bearable as the mother of the bride, with sister Kathy supporting her and overshadowing Kyle as the mothering type.

Yolemony's lemon-scented arm. LOL Too funny. She's winning me back, though. Let's see how she does in group settings again...

Looking forward to the group interaction next week, with Eileen introduced to the ladies, and Lisa V giving Brandi more icing on the cake!

Another good thing about BH is that the ratings have remained better than last year WITHOUT much happening. They absolutely have reinvented this show in the right way. I fear with RHONY they might screw up by adding Bethenny (which is good), but the other newbie is another old white lady. They should've mixed it up a bit,.

    • What a wonderful photo! It really is a shame that Peacock will not show those early years. I know I'd love to see them!
    • With the death of Days and GH actress, Denise Alexander, someone posted this in the Days thread, a '60s-era photo of some of the cast, which lists the names. In the upper left, is a young Susan Flannery, who obviously ended up playing Stephanie Forrester on B&B, who was one of a few actresses to play Dr. Laura Horton [mother to Mike and Jennifer Horton] on Days. Here is a link to the photo: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/38014-days-behind-the-scenes-articlesphotos/?do=findComment&comment=2022200

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.     
    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.
