Well...Adriana vs Guerdy? Who would have thought?

 

I've already said that Adriana was a mover and shaker on this show because she was messy. And this past episode, she really was. In fact, she seem green at Guerdy and Julia bonding. Growing closer. But I couldn't help but wonder if it was because they were bonding or if it was because the attention was not on her. 

 

That said...that did not take away from the fact Guerdy was messy, too!!! She knew good and well what she was doing when she continued to needle Adriana about the feet rubbing. ESPECIALLY in Martina's presence. 

 

Both of them were high voltage and it was great to watch. Mmmmmm I could understand Guerdy to be honest. My past is not a good one and I have had my dark days. So to be able to survive that with a positive outlook is something to inspire to. And yeah...it makes you a little bit...extra. Seize the day indeed. And why back down from anyone? Especially someone as extra and messy as yourself...which Adriana was being. Can't two women bond over losing children? Guess not. 

 

And then...Martina...GUUUUURRRRRL!!!! Can she get a mojito? lol. She was going toe to toe with Adriana, too, and I loved it. If she did not know about Julia and Adriana...SHE DOES NOW!!! And she was gathering. LOVE.

 

Meanwhile...Alexia's drama with the ex-husband's gay lover ends. NOT her drama, mind you. See...promo for next week with Peter vs Todd. But...it's safe that we didn't get to see the ex-lover. But...given what he does for a living (thank you Twitter for the tea.

 )...yeah, I can understand why. I did love that there was at least some resolution by Alexia, Marysol, and her gay friend even if it was like an episode of JG's Y&R. 

 

Another good episode.

Well...and I love the title of the first episode...first impressions...

 

 

ANDREA. Not annoying...yet...but so very self-absorbed so far. Attempting to be witty, but feels like for show.

 

LYDIA. I admit that I was expecting Lydiot.

Right now she seems so ordinary. But yes...as mentioned, you could already see that she's very 'hide the hand and act innocent.' How...Kyle of her. lol. It was who got the ball rolling with Jackie vs Gina. And I believe that will be what turns into everyone against Gina. We'll see. I'm on Episode 3.

 

JACKIE. Ooooo...I always knew she was quirky. After all, shine, shine, shine. hehe. But I didn't realize who her husband was. Ha! I'm back in high school again! I liked her so far though, but it is funny that at some point it feels like she will be accepted when so far the show started as the rich versus the underdog rich. Liked everyone's reaction to her.

 

JANET. Thank @Cat for letting me know she will find someone. I am liking her as a divorced woman so far trying to get back on the horse. So relatable. And her humor at herself has been cute to watch. 

 

CHYKA. OMG!!!! #GOALS. Business. Foine chef husband. Wealth. I love everything about her so far. 

 

GINA. Yeah, she had spark from GO!!! And I love it. Even if I feel she is going to hard on Jackie. But she has a refreshing self-awareness that I already like. I can't wait to see what she does next.

 

And do I have to even mention...the wealth.

 

Congrats for sure. I had no idea.

 

That does make me wonder though if that is why he has been on edge.

This was the episode where I sat up and thought, OK, Miami isn't playing. We are going to have some serious interpersonal drama here. And Martina putting Adriana in her place was just that moment. Suddenly we have a triangle. Suddenly everyone is aware that there is a flirtation between Julia and Adriana. And Guerdy brought it up as payback for the way Adriana treated her when she and Julia had an unexpected bonding moment. When I knew Guerdy AND Martina Freaking Navratilova were both prepared to get messy, that's when I started to pay attention!

And I got nothing but nice to say about Baby Lucy Cohen. If she's anywhere near as cute as Ben, she is going to be adorable.

Aww that first episode was so good! Wait til you see more of Andrea, though. The phrase 'Give them enough rope with which to hang themselves' comes to mind! I couldn't believe some of the stuff coming out of her mouth.

And yes Chyka's Bruce is foine as [!@#$%^&*]. I love how enthusiastic and positive she is-- they both seem to love what they do.

I am watching Season 5 right now and the stunning locations and cinematography are still top-tier. Like seriously, Melbourne is a step above the average RH show. Not that I mind not seeing that on other shows. Potomac, for example, keeps it real and adresses financial precariousness, it doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. It doesn't have to TRY to be entertaining, either. And I appreciate it all the more because of that -- it is one of, if not my favorite, franchise for a reason.

Nevertheless, watching some glamorous international locales always adds an element of excitement. And that reminds me.... Dubai will be coming soon. I think the wealth on that show is going to blow most of the other franchises out of the water. Oil/property development wealth is another level.

That was a fun premiere. Drew didn’t even bother me that much, even though I’m still puzzled how she got a second season after watching her absolutely bomb her first season (with that Prophet Lott nothingburger—the S13 reruns leading up to the premiere did her no favors).

Looks like we’re getting another season of her hot but clearly duplicitous husband making her look crazy on national television.

Sanya seems fresh and fun.

That's VERY interesting. 

 

I am catching up and I am sure that will color things a little, but best to know now.

 

Sounds like Production is covering because other than the wealth Heather brings...what else would the season bring other than a Shannon takedown season...what else would the season?

 

That show needs a live wire. And Tamra is gone. So is Kelly. So is Braunwyn. And while she is no Kenya, Noella is being that live wire.

 

It will be interesting to see how next season go? Will Production keep covering or are they setting up Noella for a fall?

FINALLY!!!

 

I felt like they took too long to get back to us. A telling sign of that...I had forgotten that Kenya was on DANCING WITH THE STARS. That could have taken up some episodes. I loved it was at least referenced. There's nothing like things going on in people's lives, but we the audience heard nothing about it. 

 

It was a good premiere. And this cast definitely POPS in my opinion. From Marlo getting her peach to ShebySheree's return to Sanya being introduced and already mixing it up, it was like a nice start to a new era. So much so Production gave shoutouts to Porsha (Not Ashy), Cynthia, and Nene...letting the audience know they are important to the legacy of this show...but we are turning a corner. And I'm here to see it. 

 

Which brings us to the two things. Marlo's event. And the drama already starting with Ralph. I loved Marlo's event. So much fashion. Some celebrity. And at least Production trying to give a somewhat logical reason to what Marlo's money. Of course we know better.

Please register in order to view this content

 But this idea is sound. Who knows how Marlo clothes people in the industry and I really had to think about that. But that could be my years watching THE CITY showing. And as for Ralph...I had heard the rumors for whether that would be a storyline. And...? I said at the end of last season that they were going to drag Drew for how she sidekicked for Porsha last season. So...not surprised. 

 

That said...it was a great start to the season. And Kenya, Marlo, Kandi, and ShebySheree kiki-ing at the start was awesome. And I want more of that. It just felt so much lighter, breezy, fun. 

 

KENYA. I said on my page and I'll say it now. Of course, Drew would go ahead and apologize. She spent all of last season coming for her. But with no backup from vets this season, she had to go and kiss that ring. Love how unbothered Kenya was by it. But Kenya was fun and living life. And I now have her crush on her dancing partner. hehe. And it was nice to see Brooklyn without her face being block out. And I love her light shade. But it's sad that the feud with Marlo appears to be starting already due to Sanya and Sheree's pot stirring. And I was soo in awe of the white dress she wore to Marlo's event. 

 

SHEBYSHEREE. Don't call it a comeback...call it a TAKEOVER.    I'll say this much. One thing that Sheree is good at...is poking fun at herself. Heck, she poked fun at the fact that she's broke tonight. So it was nice to see her continue to do the same. But I'm glad she's back in all her delusional glory. And I'm looking forward to seeing how things with Tyrone goes since originally he refused to film. But he DOES come around. And look at her pot stirring between Marlo and Kenya. She fit in soooo well and flawless. And I can already tell she's not here for Drew. Looking forward to the start of their feud.

 

KANDI. Let me get it out of the way right now...I LOVE she was serving 80s realness in her new Confessional with the leather top and total curly 80s hair. More please.  And I love she was being messy this episode...I know KANDI? Really? That she picked up on the inconsistencies in Ralph's story. That SHE went and found the assistant online. And then pot stirred with Drew. 

 

SANYA. I like her. Though during her intro scenes with Drew, it clicked who she was. I know. I didn't know it was THAT Sanya. Oooooooo....intrigued by her. Now sure how I feel about ShebySheree taking her under her wing and already have her stirring the pot to get Marlo vs Kenya starting. But so far, I like her presence, her vibe, and intriguing family life. And like most newbies, she did not come across as awkward in the group scenes at all. You woud think she had always been there if you didn't know better.

 

DREW. Le sigh. I think we all know that Latoya was my favorite last season over Drew. So outside of foine husband, she was just doing too much. Heck, she's still doing too much. I loved Kandi and Sanya already shading her. No matter how she acts she will NEVER be a Kenya Jr. At least she was smart enough to kiss the ring at Marlo's event and apologize from go to Kenya. But she clearly ain't too smart if she thinks that is going to save her from her well deserving dragging for backing Porsha last season. So I fully expect her to take her licks. That said...this Ralph storyline...might save her. We'll see.

 

MARLO. SHE GOT HER PEACH, YOU'ALL!!! HAHAHA!!! I admit...I like seeing the family side to her. While she still puts on airs...I still felt those scenes were MOSTLY real. And she is out living life. But...she should have been wise to what Sanya and Sheree was doing. But perhaps it was the point of wanting her night to be prefect and also the memories of 'KENYA MOOR HAIR-CARE!!!!' but she overreacted. I like that Kenya did not take the bait...YET...cuz the season just started and we don't need that feud yet. However, I don't know if I would say Marlo can't read. SEASON 4 MARLO COULD AND DID READ...PEOPLE...DOWN. And I giggled at her (and ShebySheree's) montage in the episode. She's come a loooooooong way since Africa. 

 

And next week...the Ralph drama begins and we might get a new group of Househusbands, too...I'm down.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see.

      Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.

      @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.

      I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.

      Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.

      All caught up on this week's episodes. Deidre Hall has done the best work of her career with this series of episodes. That is her tribute to Drake. Every acting choice has been perfect. From her reaction the moment John flatlined, to her snapping at Abe and Paulina (what a smart, realistic writing choice), to her grief playing the text message over and over. Josh Taylor did the best work of his career in the scene with Kayla telling him John had died. Everything about his facial expression, voice, pronunciation, everything was so different from what he usually does. He was overcome with the emotion of it and any of his acting tics disappeared. Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso were great. One thing I noticed with the flashbacks of John/Marlena and Bo/Hope is that Bo and Hope are constantly smiling at each other. The chemistry those two have cannot be faked. It's clear the writing team decided to clean up Bo and Hope and give fans a happy ending for them, neatly wrapped up in a bow. The juxtaposition of Bo and Hope reclaiming their happiness thanks to John, while Marlena is dealt life's harshest blow from John's sacrifice, was another great writing choice. Marlena even saying that to Eric, that she is paying for Bo's recovery with John's life, was such smart writing. Susan Seaforth Hayes was used very effectively between the two storylines. I really enjoyed the scene of Kate talking to Philip, calmly stating that she will make Xander pay. Overall, the show should be lining these episodes up for the Emmys and Deidre should be carefully choosing her scenes for her own reel. She deserves a Best Actress Emmy for this work. The first time I have felt that way about her work. Peter Reckell should submit himself for Guest for the scenes where he found out Victor is dead because he was genuinely heartbreaking. Josh Taylor should throw his name down for Supporting Actor for his scenes. The show deserves a Writing and Best Show for what they've done with the episodes around John and Bo. It was heavy stuff and I feel for the actors. I am so impressed with what they did.

Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Both are highly intelligent, but rarely understood by the outside world. Both aim only to evolve, to be better than what they are. And both belong to the NFL. Data, who is actually Brent Spiner, was born February 2, 1949 in Houston, TX. He was the son of Sylvia, a corporate VP and Jack, a furniture store owner. When Jack suddenly died, Sylvia was left to raise infant Brent and his brother alone. She eventually remarried a man named Sol Mintz. Although Mintz adopted Brent, Brent changed his last name back to Spiner when he became a professional actor. Spiner attended Bellaire High School in Houston and was heavily involved in baseball and the drama club, in addition to being a member of the NFL. While on the speech team, he gained 143 points and even earned the title of Dramatic Interpretation Champion in at the 1967 National Tournament (the same year actress Shelley Long won Oratory). After his success in high school, Spiner moved on to the University of Houston and began performing in local theatre in Houston. Eventually he dropped out of college to move to New York City and try his acting luck there. While in New York, Spiner gained more stage acting experience, performing in several Broadway and Off-Broadway plays, including The Three Musketeers and Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George. In 1984, Spiner decided to try film acting and moved again, this time to LA, where he appeared in several pilots and made-for-TV movies. He then auditioned for the up-and-coming show Star Trek: The Next Generation. Spiner himself was never a fan of science fiction or of the original Star Trek, but figured the show would soon be cancelled and he desperately needed the money. Starting in 1987, Spiner played Data for 15 years, during the show’s 7 seasons and the four feature films that followed. Even when the show was cancelled in 1994, Spiner’s career as a performer barely paused. He is most remembered for his role in Independence Day as Dr. Okun, the somewhat awkward chief scientist of Area 51 who is attacked and killed by his alien subjects. He has also made appearances on Law & Order, Friends, Dude, Where’s My Car?, I Am Sam, and The Aviator. Spiner returned to the theatre and appeared in the Broadway revival 1776 as John Adams. Unlike most of his co-stars, Spiner is not very active in the Star Trek convention scene. He has made a few appearances, but overall his lack of interest in science fiction gets the best of him. However, he still regards Patrick Stewart and LeVar Burton as two of his best friends. One of the challenges forensicators face is finding the human element in their events; to not be robotic and detached, but simply themselves. It is this crucial element that separates the good from the great. As the character Data, Spiner sums up the NFL experience the best: “If being human is not simply a matter of being born flesh and blood – if it is instead a way of thinking, acting, and feeling, then I am hopeful that one day I will discover my own humanity. Until then…I will continue learning, changing, growing, and trying to become more than what I am.”   https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/12/09/an-interview-with-brent-spiner https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-17-ca-1835-story.html https://www.discogs.com/artist/1224629-Brent-Spiner?srsltid=AfmBOorfw9Nl3EZ4fc-plhbgU3ng2bSQTruygkdJxZgsPquzQ6sBhCbj     Leslie Charleson    pg. 435   PILOTS/PROPOSALS ANOTHER APRIL      April Weston Moss   1974    (Made for T.

      Thanks so much for posting this. Since they had retconned Roger/Holly's relationship after his return as being "Roger was always in love with Holly" when it was actually the other way around, they kept up this narrative in this video. Understandable, but it still bugs me. Holly was never his "heart." That's baloney. He only married her to be in Christina's life and was screwing other women like Diane and Hillary the whole time. Peggy was truly the only woman that Roger ever loved, and even that wasn't a very healthy relationship. Holly only really fell out of love with Roger after she realized she loved Ed while they were divorcing. I'm glad he reminded people that the rape scenes were taped in a day. It's amazing what they accomplished with very little rehearsal. That scene still has great impact after all these years. And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask. (I love the way they joke about the mask at the end). Alan's insanely over-the-top reaction to his return when Roger had no hold against him anymore. Yikes, one of the worst things Long did while she was still writing the show, though I will cut her a break since she absolutely had a tough task bringing back a guy who fell off a cliff.
