Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

Before I get into OC, I have to laugh at Dr. Jen and the usually shirtless hubby with his toy chihuahua always in his arms because that is SO me, lol. As we watched the early episodes of this season, my hubby pointed out that I do that ALL the time with my darling lil Coco (see avatar photo). Any discussion, good or bad, Coco's in my arms (well arm actually, cuz she's so tiny). But I digress...

I think we're up to episode 9 now of OC? And I can honestly say, this is still a rebuilding year, with the cast seemingly on their own islands. Half-way through the episode, I thought: they really need Tamra back. SOMEONE that helps connects the old (Shannon, Heather) with the newish (Gina, Emily), and help stir things up with the brand newbies (Noella, Jen). Because this crop of women still feels very disjointed.

Honestly, sometimes I don't know where Shannon fits in anymore. Gina & Emily, the two we all were lukewarm about during their early years, are the two ships that help navigate the story and tie everyone together. It seems like a chore for Heather to hang with anyone, and really it is; it's a job. It shouldn't feel that way to us viewers though. 

Noella is just too much too soon. She has beef with half the cast and turns on the ones who are in her corner. Shannon is the one she hasn't targeted yet. Noella's on track to ice herself out of the group before the end of her first year. She's messy and too much, which means she'll cool off in her second year, similar to Jennifer over on New Jersey.... if she's back another year. 

Jen is nice, and I wouldn't put her in the Terri DeMarco desperation category, but she isn't really popping.

So I dunno. It all feels very disjointed and inorganic, even in Housewives' world.

@NothinButAttitude @Taoboi I was pretty devastated at seeing my fave, Dolores, turn so meanly on Jennifer. "We're not going to cry, are we, Jennifer" -- like she thought Jennifer was milking it. Which maybe she was, a little. But I'm sure we've all walked into a gathering and felt the chill from other people there and suddenly got hit with overwhelming anxiety. I think this happened to Jennifer, and the lack of empathy from Marge and Dolores astounded me. Dolores of all people! Even Jackie and MeHo felt a little bad for Jen. (Although I can't help but wonder if Jackie is trying to be Jennifer's friend in order to eventually bring her down -- for two seasons now, the Budget Coven have been laser-focused on Jennifer as their target).

FWIW, Dolores and Marge are close, even though they are on different 'teams' (Dolores is also close friends with Caroline Manzo!). And another interesting tidbit: back in the day, Dolores worked at Dr. Zaddy Bill's practice as an office manager! This was after her stint as a corrections officer. I don't think she had an affair with Bill (!!) but maybe she saw some stuff. And told Marge.

I still think Bill's an ok guy, BTW.

Speaking of teams... full disclosure: I am Team Gia. This look she gave her Zia Melissa! LOL!

I've seen commentary saying Gia was disrespectful to Joe and overstepped her role on the show. I disagree. Yes, she was insolent -- she's been over Joe & Melissa using her family for SL for 12 years. "Always acting a scene" is what she told Joe at one point. I also admire Gia for not backing down when Joe, Melissa and Teresa tried to impose the prevailing narrative which is the following: Juicy Joe was an evil villain who caused Tre to go to jail, tore the Gorga family apart, and drove Nonna and Nonno to an early grave. This narrative is false. Those of us who've been watching since S1 ep.1 know what we saw. Juicy Joe was a crook, yes. But Teresa wanted -- by any means necessary -- a mansion, instant wealth, and her shot at landing this Bravo reality show. Did she understand the legal repercussions when she signed a bunch of papers Joe threw under her nose? Probably not. But I think she knew that sh*t was not on the up-and-up, and she went with it anyway. Not that Joe & Melissa's finances were all that perfect when they built their Mini-Me McMansion in Montvale -- the rumor is that Joe re-mortgaged Nonno & Nonna's house (behind their backs!) to get the financing, and he missed a payment and they lost their home for a while. All this so that the Gorgas could get on RHONJ and launch Melissa's 'singing' career.

And I say all this as a Tre fan, BTW! But... it is what it is! And Gia has seen all this and knows. She saw all the fights behind closed doors. She lived with her grandparents. She knows it's not 100% Juicy's fault and that there are nuances. And if anything gave the elderly Gorgas undue stress at the beginning, it was the divide between Joe and Teresa which was broadcast for the world to see. 

So, yeah, I think Joe needs to reflect a little on the factors that actually brought down Da Famb'ly before he pops off at his young niece. Having said all that, there is no denying the love Joe and Gia hold for each other, and I was really glad they hugged and made up at the end.

Man, I love this show, and I cannot even tell you what actually happened this week.

First of all, the fashion, honey! I want everything in Guerdy and Kiki's wardrobe. I feel like the fashion is aspirational and gorgeous without being "F*ck you, none of you common folk can afford this bling." Which is a problem I have with BH's over-abundance of labels (Dorit, Erika, I'm looking at you) which exhaust rather than inspire me with beauty.

Secondly, Adriana is so messy and I love it. "Eet's BEEG and eets THICK!" Larsa clammed right up as soon as she heard that. Which says to me that the Kardashians likely had her sign some kind of NDA when their friendship went south. Because relationships with the Kardashians are contractual and transactional, and because they are like the Mafia and demand omerta!

Rumors say that Larsa was dating Tristan Thompson first, brought him to a Kardashian gathering, Khloe made a beeline for him, and a few days later, Khloe & Tristan were a kouple. And Larsa had to go because she reminded Khloe that Tristan had been her bf first. Given how crazily territorial Khloe is about that cheating buffoon, this is a plausible-sounding explanation. Another reason might be that Larsa saw Kanye at his worst and said something and, at the time, that was a no-no. So buh-bye. Whatever the reason, I love how Adriana is trying to squeeze it out of Larsa.

@Cat I've always been intrigued by the alliances and interactions that occur beneath the surface. 

Budget Coven is a tight trio, but I do notice Delores/Marge are pretty close (Delores even saying she'd marry Joe if Marge went before him).  So maybe Delores sides with Marge over Jennifer because of the friendship?

Jackie and Jennifer have always fascinated me...they seem more like frienimies then enemies or friends.  I view them like Jo/Blair from Facts of life.  They'll shade one another, but if one is attacked..the other will defend them.

Now, I knew the Dolores and Marge were quite close outside of the show...but Dolores seems to be heavily connected to everyone...like Tamra on OC without the schemer side to her. But to have worked for Tequila Bill????? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo...!!!

 

Yasss!!!! Gia's look was EVERYTHING. A lot of what you said about the history (because I did regularly start watching NJ until post jail and was a spotty viewer otherwise) has been easily out there online so some of that I knew. I can only assume that most don't know because Melissa and Joey are very well shielded by Production. Another reason I want to watch ALL STARS (next week for me finally) because it seems Melissa and Teresa are shown for who they are, not what Production wants them to be...fourth wall gone. 

 

Yeah, I like that Jackie is coming across VERY well this season, but I still side-eye it for now. But I do believe Jackie and Jennifer are quite close outside the show as well. Especially due to their kids getting along. 

 

@Soaplovers while the last two episodes have mostly been meh. I'm still enjoying OC this season. I just feel that break killed any momentum they had at the start. I mean Heather's return definitely drove things in a particular direction. Even Noella vs Heather that is growing had some bit before the cast trip and the start of said trip. And now that we are mid-season (?), the action has stalled or gotten muddled. 

 

PS. Love the Jo/Blair comparison.

 

@DemetriKane yeah, the finale for RHOA apparently sound like it was buzzworthy.

 

And even DeShawn from SEASON ONE was there living her best life. It was some tea about an OG appearing so I guess that was about her. Things to make you go hmmmm

 

BH

 

Season 12 is done filming.

I LOLed at that part. Melissa and Teresa were hovering like two nervous sparrows in case Gia said something that embarrasses them, and she was like "Back off, we can handle this."

@Soaplovers @Taoboi Yeah, last year Dolores and Marge got interviewed by Danny Pellegrino on his podcast. M & D clearly got along well, and hang in the off-season, too. Marge especially couldn't stop gushing about Dolores. The interview was also where Dolores said she'd worked for Dr. Bill at his practice! I rewound that part to hear it again because I thought my ears deceived me. She didn't say anything bad about him at all, and may even have recommended him and Jennifer to the production company.

 

@DemetriKane So the RHOA tea I heard was that Peacock may be doing a RHUGT 3 -- featuring the S1 cast of RHOA! DeShawn, Lisa Wu, Kim Z, Sheree and Nene. It's just a rumor on social media for now, but having DeShawn show up at Sheree's event makes me go Hmmmmmm....

That is just juicy tea.

 

And ooooo at Peacock. Well, we all know Season 2 of AS is going to be a mess. How do you top it? Stage a reunion with girls who have not been together in almost 20 years. And Nene would be THE get given her fallout with Andy. Ratings would be PEAK HARD after Season 2.

Regardless of how bad the fallout was, there is no denying that Nene really is #1 of the Housewives and put outside viewers on notice of what RH could be...good fun!!! She has a meme and/or gif for just about anything and so many people that don't watch RHOA at all quote her.

Petridish is the most annoying, but her impromptu dance performance at her winter wonderland party is a Don't Miss! 

Gamble is fun this season, but wait to see how the seasons progress with her and Giner.... I think Giner saw through some of her games.

There is literally a Nene quote in life for everything... What is dis, hunny... So nasty and so rude!... You never can win when you play dirty, hunny.... I SAID WHAT I SAID... We see each UH THUH! Close your legs to married men! Where is your scooter??

I could go on but I won't! Except to say her reaction to Phaedra's due date remains GOLD.

    • I had such a crush on Zoe as a Kid. She was so fit. The only that took that Place for me was Roxy. Lacey who plays Stacey slater will leave This Show too later that year. I know Zoe has no real ties to any of them since she left but maybe she will be involved there in her Exit ? I Wonder the Story possibilitys for Zoe ! ONLY story I hated was Zoe and Dirty den! It looked Like she was laying in Bed with a corpse 
    • 1976 Pt 11 Laurie confronts Vanessa to tell her the little plot failed and she will marry Lance no matter what Vanessa tries. As a parting shot, Laurie reminds Vanessa that she has three things Vanessa doesn’t: beauty, youth, and sex. Laurie then accompanies Lance to South America, as he’s got a lead on Lucas. But they are dismayed to find they’ve  arrived just hours before Luke took off. Liz thanks Kay for agreeing to cover Bill’s hospital bills but returns the ring of Phillip’s that Kay had given her for the baby, saying Kay wouldn’t have demanded that Jill write the affidavit had she not known in her heart that the baby was Phillip’s. Kay continues to insist not, but gives Liz the affidavit. Learning that Kay has returned the statement, Jill is terrified she will renege on the bills and hurries to Kay’s. Kay assures her that the bills will be paid, and Jill gratefully asks Kay to visit her father. But Bill, accidentally handed his bill, has been trying to leave the hospital, and when Kay and Jill arrive, the bed is empty. Jill becomes hysterical. Bill is brought back in, and once Jill has assured herself at he’s all right, she explains to Kay that the way she learned Phillip was dead was to walk into his  room and find the bed empty. Kay painfully replies that she discovered his death when she happened to see the announcement in an old newspaper; no one had ever told her.  Bill asks Brock to say a few words over him when he’s gone, as he doesn’t want a formal eulogy. Brock agrees to do this. At Greg’s insistence, Bill is being released to go home to die, but he suffers a sad attack and has to be placed on a respirator. Snapper has to admit to Liz that this is the end—he’ll never be off the machine, and the pain won’t stop until it’s over. Liz slips back into the hospital after visiting ours to be with her husband, and when he begs her ‘to help him out of the unbearable pain, Liz, out of love, pulls the plug on the respirator.  Snapper walks in. and realizes instantly what Liz has done. He takes her home, suggesting that she not tell Jill and Greg, as they might not understand it was what their father wanted. Only then does he remember the plug. He returns to replace it, but Nurse Warner has discovered Bill dead and the respirator unplugged and is looking for him. He suggests that someone might have already found Bill dead and unplugged it but her conscience bothers  her, and she later tells the administrator, who orders an investigation. Bill’s funeral is simple and dignified, with Brock speaking the thoughts Bill had wanted expressed. Kay,who hates funerals, comes out of respect for Bill and his family. Brock has convinced his mother to ask Joanne to live with her; he feels Kay must not be alone and —that Joanne could help her while saving money by not having to rent an apartment while attending college. Kay, drinking again, tries to lure Joanne into breaking her diet, but, after only one brief lapse, Joanne’s self-control is intact. Kay finally admits to Joanne that she drinks out of loneliness but it doesn’t help, because when she’s sober again the loneliness |returns. Despite Kay’s dislike of holidays and her own inability to eat fattening things, Joanne plans a full Christmas dinner to make the holiday a happy one.
    • GH 1976 Pt 7 Jeff, meanwhile, has been upset because Monica has rejected his suggestion that they have a baby. He assumes that her refusal is due to her own upbringing as an orphan and a lack of security. Actually, she admits to herself, she wants only Rick’s baby, and she rejects Jeff’s offer of a house of their own as an anchor for her. Monica sees a divorce lawyer to find out about no-fault divorce, but is thwarted to learn that Jeff would have to agree, since there are no grounds. Monica manufactures small incidents to keep. Jeff on the defensive and moves out of their bedroom. Hurt and frustrated, he begins a vicious cycle of sleeping pills followed by “uppers” to get through the day. When Jeff grabs her arm while trying to talk to her, she pulls away, causing a bruise, which she exhibits later to Rick, Terri, and Audrey as proof that Jeff is not the sweet guy everyone thinks he is. Jeff is crushed when he finds Rick’s letter; now he’s convinced that Monica never really loved him at all. She won’t discuss it or anything with him, and he takes more pills to face this. Finally he has a reaction to them. Heather’s there when the suffocating attack occurs, and she helps him through it, assuring him that she won’t tell anyone. When Jeff, miserably upset, drinks too much at their anniversary party, hosted by Terri, Monica puts on a long suffering wife act to impress Rick. With Steve’s recovery almost complete, he and Audrey begin their wedding plans. But Tommy presents a problem when he tells his mother that he doesn’t have a father and stepfathers can’t be trusted. Audrey and Steve help him gain a sense of identity  by seeing where his real father, Dr. Tom Baldwin, worked in the hospital, and Steve prepares to adopt  Tommy as soon as the marriage is performed. There should be no problems, since they have a coroner’s report of Tom’s death in Mexico. But Tom Baldwin isn’t dead. Convicted of a murder he didn’t commit and sentenced to life imprisonment in a Mexican prison, he arranged for forged death papers, to save his infant son from a life as the son of a convicted murderer. He assumed the nurse took Tommy to Audrey, and has no idea that she kidnapped the child, who was later recovered by his mother. But Tom now has hope, as an attorney, Ramon Hernandez, has an eyewitness to the real killer and is starting the machinery of rescuing Tom. But since Tom is legally dead, the judge won’t reopen: the case. Tom’s only hope is the nurse who was with him in Mexico. He writes to Florence Anderson for help, and she goes to the park to take Tommy’s picture, but is afraid to go to Mexico to testify about the forged papers. After a cruise to restore her health, Leslie comes home to have her suspected pregnancy confirmed. ‘Knowing now that Cam was a truly evil man, Leslie fears that his child, conceived by rape, could be just as evil. She considers abortion but rejects it immediately, as she did when she was pregnant with Laura.  However, when Cam’s secretary offers her a letter of | Cam’s in which he embarrassingly and very fully contrasts his wife and his mistress, Leslie buys her off (for a thousand dollars, to match Men-Women Magazine’s offer) and decides that abortion may be the right choice after all. Peter assures her the child will be whatever she raises it to be—if it has love, it will be loving—but Leslie has a nightmare in which her child turns out to be a devil, and she secretly arranges for an out-of-town abortion, asking Terri not to tell Rick, whom she insists she’s not attracted to. Terri’s attempt to help Mary Ellen, called Mellie now, fails miserably when Mellie, instantly jealous of Terri, hysterically tells her what Mark did to her in the accident. Never having heard of the story, Terri is helpless, and has to call the doctor to treat Mellie.  Terri is furious at Mark for not preparing her, but soon accepts his apology, understanding that he was reluctant to admit what had snapped Mellie’s mind. Mellie runs away from the sanitarium and is hit by a car. Feeling that she is now suicidal, Mark has her father come to take her back to Boston. Terri goes to Mellie and pleads with her to forgive Mark, because he loves her. Mellie asks her father whether, when one has enemies, one should try to keep them. in view or ignore them. He replies that one should watch them, then asks Mark about this. Peter suggests that enemies can be things as well as people, and agrees to accept Mellie as a patient when Mark decides she should stay in Port Charles. Realizing that Mellie needs attention, Peter suggests that Diana befriend her. Mellie isn’t overly enthusiastic about this. Monica is furious at Steve’s anniversary gift: a week’s honeymoon in Florida. Jeff tries to force their acceptance, hoping they can salvage something, but Monica fakes flu, canceling the trip, then makes a miraculous recovery.  When Rick’s former surgical adviser, Dr. Pierre Namath, arrives in Port Charles, Monica promotes an invitation to join him and Rick at his farm. Rick refuses for her, explaining that she is now his brother’s wife, but Monica, undaunted, arrives at the farm by bus, assuring Rick that she left Jeff a note explaining where she is. Heather, however, who has seen Monica buy the bus ticket, manages to mention it to Jeff, who consoles himself with more pills and liquor. When Rick’s car breaks down on the way back, they have to spend the night in a small town, and Rick calls Terri to explain, learning that Jeff had no idea where Monica had gone. Monica manages to pull a fast one and turn herself into the object of pity, winding up in tears, which precede a romantic and passionate embrace. But Jeff goes after them in fury, and Rick, warned by Terri’s call, takes another room, so all is seemly when Jeff arrives. When Monica coldly asks him why he didn’t read her note, he apologizes humbly. Monica manages to dash off a note and drop it on the floor at home for Jeff to find, citing the note as proof that their marriage was a mistake. The next day Monica tells Rick that Jeff told her their marriage was a mistake.
    • Excellent Roman and Kayla scenes. Best work I’ve seen from Josh Taylor. That was real emotion there. Awesome comments to wrap up Roman and John. Deidre Hall was once again perfect. When she slightly snapped at Abe and Paulina for asking about the funeral. Just perfect. Hope we get a lot more of Julie with Marlena.  As rude as it is, I wish they would’ve done another Eileen/Stacy switch for this story. Stacy’s Kristen is completely defined by Brady and we don’t get flashbacks. The balls on EJ to show up at Marlena and John’s home. It was so perfect and sad.
    • It could have been interesting, given that she and Alex were friends. I imagine he would have ended up bringing out her Solita personality.  For all the talk of crazy fans, for a long time fans did seem willing to embrace the rivals of...well, Reva's rivals. (no wonder Kim felt insecure as it happened three times with her) You don't seem to get as much of the tribalism until the "Manny" era. I guess some might say "Matessa" too, but as I could not stand Dinah in those years, I am not one to talk about their fans if they managed to repeatedly put the kibosh on a Matt/Dinah pairing. And at least that did not seem to involve death threats.
    • 1976 Pt 4 Viki is stunned to learn from Dr. Jim Craig that her father may never speak or be mobile again. Dorian bravely assures her that she’ll devote her entire life to Victor and if anyone can help him recover, she can. Alone with Victor, Dorian tells him she knows he hears her and she was wrong—she lashed out at him from hurt. She insists that none of it is true, that Tony is lying to try to drive her away and be Victor’s heir. Dorian then accuses Tony of causing Victor’s stroke, saying he could have killed him. But learning that Victor made three phone calls after his visit convinces him that his father was fine after he left and Dorian’s fine hand is at the base of this. Dorian insists that Victor be released into her care as soon as possible; she'll set up all necessary facilities at Llanfair., When Dorian walks in while Viki is reading a letter from Tony to Victor, she interrupts the reading, claiming it’s upsetting Victor. Viki tells Tony, however, that Victor was fine listening to his letter and it was Dorian’s entrance that upset him greatly. Dorian is delighted when a Lord Enterprises attorney informs her she’s going to receive Victor’s power of attorney on a temporary basis. Tony is furious that no one is challenging this, but Viki explains that they can’t do anything, as the law is on Dorian’s side and a challenge would only be a public statement of lack of trust in Victor’s wife. Viki insists that Victor’s welfare is being safeguarded, but Tony points out that. none of the people who care for him are with him at Llanfair. Joe is with Victor when he seems to rally and speaks Joe’s and Dorian’s names. Over Joe’s observation that Victor wants to continue, Dorian quickly administers a sedative, insisting this effort is too taxing. The following day, Peter, at Llanfair to give Dorian some Free Clinic reports she’s requested, overhears Victor say, “Phone . . . get me Hanson” (one of his lawyers) and sees Dorian quickly sedate him again, saying he can’t have any visitors for fear of overexertion. The very next day Victor is taken back to the hospital by ambulance, in a coma. Told that Victor is conscious but near death, and calling for his daughter, Dorian, knowing that Viki and Joe are waiting in the courtyard, intentionally sends the nurse to look for them in Jim’s office, delaying their arrival until Victor is no longer able to talk. Viki sits with him for a few moments, then must leave, and shortly thereafter Jim tells her, Joe, and Tony that Victor has died. . Vinnie is horrified to learn his wife Wanda, is the “Lana-Sheen Lady,” a cosmetics saleswoman. He tells her she violated the trust of their marriage by intentionally concealing that she was working, something he had forbidden, insisting he must be the breadwinner in the family. But Wanda warns Vinnie that there is more to this than the money, that she needs to feel she’s accomplishing something with her life. Vinnie does think it through but questions the safety of going door to door. Wanda then springs Tony’s offer that  work for him at Tony’s Place, initially infuriating Vince, who claims Tony is a wolf. But a visit to the club shows Vince that Wanda does indeed have considerable talents for running a restaurant establishment, and he gives his approval. Despite Cathy’s continued insistence that they not marry but go on as before, Tony is willing to let her have things her way, and their relationship has resumed. Pat tries to reassure her son, who thinks Cathy is not very nice, by explaining that it’s difficult for Cathy to be with children, since she recently lost her own little girl. But the pain of facing Tony and Cathy’s relationship becomes too much for Pat and, needing to tell someone, she confides in Viki the true story of Brian’s parentage.  Viki tells Pat she must tell Tony the truth and she should fight for Tony if she still loves him and give her son his rightful father, especially since Tony and Brian were good friends from the moment they met. Cathy, however, is growing suspicious of the easy closeness between Pat and Tony and questions him about their old relationship. Tony insists that their relationship was a brief romance, too short to be earthshaking, and assures her that Pat didn’t rebound into Kendall’s arms they had known each other long before Rio. But Cathy is not satisfied, and pursues her inquiry in New York, where she finds that Pat didn’t marry Paul until after Brian’s birth. This confirms Cathy’s suspicions, and she decides she has to act now to keep Pat from taking Tony from her. Pat, meanwhile, has decided to tell Tony the truth and arranges a meeting with him. She is stunned when he walks in with Cathy and introduces her as Mrs. Tony Lord. Pat says nothing, and later has to tell her embittered son that he’s going to have to accept Cathy as Tony’s wife whether he likes it or not. Viki, learning of Tony’s marriage, rushes to console Pat, who castigatés herself for having wasted so much time on a man who doesn’t love her. She knows she'll have to tell Brian the truth someday, but is sure that if he learned the truth now he would feel deserted by Tony, just as he feels deserted by Paul. Tony and Cathy’s married life begins on an idyllic plane, with Cathy eagerly making plans for a child. Tony has read Cathy’s book and wonders if she’s not | dealt too severely with a central character who bears an unmistakeable resemblance to Viki. Cathy admits that this is true, and Pat, working with Cathy’s agent, has already suggested revisions. Pat finds Brian having nightmares, and the boy admits his uncertainty about his father’s death, as Paul’s body was never actually identified. Concerned, Tony spends time with the boy, upsetting Cathy, who sees him as a threat. Cathy’s agent mentions to Pat that Cathy interrogated him about the details of her marriage and her child, and Pat suddenly realizes Cathy knows. She confronts Cathy, accusing her of marrying Tony to hold on to him. Cathy tries to insist that she doesn’t know what Pat’s talking about, and counter accuses her of trying to break up her marriage. Pat then leaves, saying they’ll discuss it when Cathy’s ready.
    • Michelle Forbes really captivated GL viewers so it was smart of Long to take advantage of that. When I looked back at news items and letters to the editors, I found so many letters to the editors/columns upset she was not nominated for Best Actress the year before she was nominated for supporting actress.  I read somewhere that they had planned a major storyline with Sonni and Roger but that it never came to pass because Forbes wanted to leave the show. I wonder what they had in mind.

    • Haha, love to hear it, and thank you! Yeah, I just write down thoughts/notes as I'm watching in this viewing journal I'm keeping.  So, you get my raw, honest thoughts in the moment without me having to go back and remember or curate anything.

      Please register in order to view this content

        Watros is great, and I've liked her from the beginning, so I'm excited to see her evolve and shine even more as Annie continues to descend. I'll keep an eye out for that scene.  I have to say, Rick cracks me up, there are times when he makes jokes and you can tell the actor is having fun with it and cracking himself up. He's endearing. Let me suffer!    So funny how big Josh's hair is in the 80s. Sign of the times, I guess.   I can't wait to finally see the Sonni storyline and watch a younger Michelle Forbes shine. It's on my list, I will go back in time eventually and do this
