anyone notice how there are barely any storylines on this season of RHOA? I mean Kandi has the tension in her new marriage and mama drama and Phaedra has her divorce and Apollo leaving but no one else has anything. Kenya? She has nothing going on in her life. Nene? She has nothing going on in her life. Cynthia? Claudia? Poorsha? Ditto. Thankfully their interactions amongst each other is good but there isnt much to work with with these women in terms of showcasing their lives. The "stories" amount to Girl A dont like Girl B so they either have a sitdown, argue or do both. That can be entertaining i guess but it can get old fast. Im already over Nene and Cynthia's beef.

I think part of that might be a lack of "friends" this season. There were a whole bunch of them featured last year and it really helped to flesh the women out and give them new material to work with. So far this season it pretty much amounts to Demetria. Last year we had Natalie, Mynique, Mallory, Carmon, MARLO, all mixxing it up in the drama and being showcased on a semi-regular basis. I think having the supporting characters makes for a better show

I miss having all the friends of last season too. But I think that things are going to pick up (story wise) during the Puerto Rico trip because that's when the production supposedly realized what direction they wanted to go in, which was with Claudia over Porsha and Demetria. We'll see the rivalry between Nene/Claudia. The demise of Nene/Cynthia. Mama Sharon v. Joyce. And don't forget Mr. Chocolate saga is about emerge soon too. Also, based on their interaction (or lack thereof), I think we might get a surprise, which could be the demise of Phaedra/Kandi. I've yet to see them interact in recent months. Phaedra has been seen more with Nene than she has Kandi. I think there is trouble in paradise.

I get s4 vibes with this season as production didn't know what to do the first half, but once they divided into cliques (Tall v. Small in s4/The Beauties v. The Beasts this season), we'll get story.

Yeah like Cheap said, she didn't contribute that much on RHOA like she did on IDON. I felt like Nene was marginalizing her friends from IDON last season and only wanted to force Mynique on the audience, hence why she didn't mesh well. The audience already cared for Lexis, Marlo, & even that linebacker Dirty Diana. I wish those three were on this season. They'd at least drive story.

YES to Dirty Diana. I felt like her presence would have been perfect especially following Nene's fallout with Marlo and Kenya. The producers would use clips from IDON of her warning Nene about oppurtnist and she of course would be used to give Kenya and Marlo material to shade. Marlo and Diana should have both been on this year

You know why. The same reason why Nene fell out Kim, Sheree, Dwight, Marlo, and Kenya. When she feels someone can potentially threaten her shine, she drops them. Lexis gained quite the following during IDON and was most popular behind Marlo. Plus, like Marlo, Nene felt that Lexis was an "opportunist," but let's be honest--everyone is an opportunist.

I agree. Both should've been on; however, word is that Nene refused to film any scenes if Marlo was on the show at all. Andy is going to follow his "cash cow," and while he's declared he's forgiven Marlo, I don't think he really has.

Nene's a coward. She only likes having rivals that she knows she can over talk and outwit. The second she meets her match she refuses to engage with them and makes sure they won't be back for another season. This is why I have no respect for her. If you're truly a bad bitch then be about it. Otherwise get to trottin'!

Hitting the nail on the head!

True but I doubt Andy or Carlos wanted to hear the constant whining and bitching from Nene. But I hate that Bravo allows Nene to hold them hostage when they have the true power. Either cut her check when she doesn't perform all the stipulations in the contract or cut her altogether. I prefer the latter.

I know that the KKN with Claudia was filmed after Puerto Rico. I didn't know that Kandi's sex party was filmed before too. If so, it was awkward. I'm skeptical about this rumor.....

    • I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.
    • Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?
    • Thank you for the tag! It's always a pleasure to see these little pearls of memories. 
    • Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion. 
    • Add me to the group of people who think that Brandon has improved. He has. There's no doubt about it. Especially compared to the beginning. And he's improving in a way that... it makes me think that he realizes what the issues are and is addressing them. Of course, he's no master of acting at this point... but I don't cringe as much as I did. And I've seen people in Bold... I won't even have to name names, because everyone knows who they are... who are becoming even worse than what they were offering in the first place. So... I'm happy that in BTG... people are actually blossoming and improving. It surely means that the atmosphere is creative and nurturing talent.  BUT and it's a big butt... his relationship with his husband is still so lacking and ghastly. I am craving to see more action from these guys. I want to see Smitty's character. If he has any. 
    • Thank you. You guys come to the rescue again. I'll take a look later.   Thank you for the info!!! Now I find myself less confused. You and @DRW50 are amazing.
    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next.
