I mean... I don't think every move is producer dictated and I am sure she did want to confront Melissa but Tre wasn't even the one who brought it up. Kim D did. Regardless Melissa was lying which is why she got tongue tied, she couldn't get together some pitiful excuse to tell as truth like she usually does.

Loved the RHOC 100 episode special.

Lots of interesting views about the history of how the show started. And I liked how the Keough and Gunvalson kids got in on the action, as they well should.

I also thought it interesting that the Housewives all said that they liked the show when it was organic and followed them, rather than created drama. The first seasons had that organic quality that has disappeared as other franchises exploded with organic drama, demanding all the other franchises follow suit.

Most of all, I loved that the usual season ending guitar music played as all the Housewives discussed what they treasure about the show in the last segment, though Vicki lost me with "This is my baby, if I hadn't taken a chance there wouldn't be a RHOC"...because that just isn't true. Jeana Keough is friends with Scott Dunlop who created it.

There were endless rumors Marysol asked to become a "Friend of the Housewives," but I read an interview where she said it was Bravo's decision. She said she filmed just as much as she did during seasons 1 & 2 and it doesn't seem like she realized this was going to happen. She said that Bravo said that it was too difficult for viewers with 7 or 8 housewives, so they narrowed it down so they can focus better on the stories. I do agree that 8 housewives was too much, but Marysol is still such a crucial part to this show. I don't like the idea of her as a Friend when she was already a part of the cast seasons one and two. Especially since it sounds like she's going to be around just as much as she always is.

It isn't hard for viewers to keep up with 7-8 housewives. That's just stupid logic, Bravo. If people can watch scripted shows with 10+ cast members then we sure as hell can keep up with seven HWs. It proved successful on RHONY s3 & 4, RHOM last year, RHOBH s3, and RHOA s4 (before they reduced Marlo to just a "friend") & s5 (before Wighead exited stage left). I personally prefer 7-8 HWs. They might as well kept Ana, Marysol, & even Karent then just readded Alexia for this season. Miami left on a good note after the reunion, but Bravo always fu*ks a good thing up beforehand.

I like Marysol's quiet, sad presence on the show and am glad that she will still feature (I assume Bravo will still use footage of her if she is filming as much as she did in Seasons 1-2). Even more than Marysol, though, I want to see Mama Elsa. Like, every week I want story involving Mama Elsa. Mama Elsa giving Lea a piece of her mind, Mama Elsa gossiping with her maid, Mama Elsa sleeping over at Marysol's freezing-cold apartment and bitching about it, Mama Elsa contacting the spirits. For me, she is as much a regular as the five currently featured. In fact, I'd even go as far as say she is RHoM's star.

Too bad about Karent. I was totally on her side in S2.

Mama Elsa is another big reason I feel we need Marysol full-time. We're still going to see Elsa, so we're going to see her personal interactions as well as her interactions with the ladies. That is basically a housewife, not a "friend." Another thing I enjoyed about Marysol were her work scenes. She may not be dramatic and loud, but she was interesting. I thought she came off as a sharp business woman and she had great style and good wit.

Was the OC special all that there was this week? No new episode?

You know they built up Vicki to be the Queen B in this special as if she's at the top and runs sh-t, similarly to how its Nene's show on ATL. Maybe in the past but I don't feel that way about Vicki anymore. I think Tamra has eclipsed her. Vicki kind of lost her status last season when her friendship with Tamra crumbled and she became the outsider. She had to make nice with Alexis of all people in order to have an ally and remain relevant within the group. It seemed as if all the women started to revolve around Tamra with everyone either wanting her friendship or approval and being ostracized if they don't have. Id definitely say Tamra is currently the Queen B of the OC, not Vicki. Her iopinion doesn't feel relevant or matter anymore

Vicki will always be the Boss Bitch IMO. Tamra has become a popular core character, but I've always found her far too unlikable to be the Queen Bee. Vicki has so many different layers and she has a family we actually get to see, plus a job. She's the ultimate housewife. I just wish Jeana was still around. The 100th episode special made me really miss Jeana and her family. Jeana also looked BEAUTIFUL on Watch What Happens Live.

Another old face I want to see again is Jo. I wonder why Andy didn't consider her for New York. They're struggling and she could add some young blood, diversity and money to the show. It looks like she has a handsome, wealthy boyfriend. She also has a good job and lives in New York.

I really don't see Vicki as a boss or breakout star like NeNe, Bethenny, Tre, or Lisa V she just happened to be the last original HW standing......

      I'm writing a series of essays about the first time of a LGBT character in US soaps. I already have datas about Sharon Duvall in DAYS (1977) as first Bisex, Lynn Carson in AMC (1983) as first Lesbian, Hank Elliott on ATWT (1989) as first Gay (someone have or can find the episode in which Paul Ryan finds out about Hank and does not take it very well? I have seen Hank's coming out to Iva and when Hank gets a bullet to save Paul's life from the latter evil father and when he gets tested for HIV after finding out Charlie's diagnosis, but Soap Opera Digest recaps are too much concises...) and Billy Douglas on OLTL (1992) as first LGBT teen in both daytime and primetime TV (I have seen all the episodes on You Tube. BTW, what a great storyline, why it was ignored by the Emmys? Andrew Carpenter and Billy's father players are both really great in their roles! Oh, well, if OLTL was not nominated for Best Drama in 1994 with Marty's gang rape story which won four major awards and was spectacular, no surprise at all - sadly) and I have read something about Azure in The City (1996) as first Trans, but I'd like to see the episode where Bernado finds out and Azure confirms what is said in that newspaper to have something to quote. I like quoting, it gives the essays more depth. I already read the biweekly recaps from Soap Opera Digest on Tumblr and single episodes recaps on IMDB, but I'd like to have more to write about. And something more about critics and public opinions - I only knows that the storyline was rapidly axed because of bad writing and bad performance by Carlotta Chung, but I have nothing to quote.   PS Thank you @JAS0N47 for your incredible and rich site (and work on it). In particular for the Nielsen ratings on weekly basis lists since 1974 and for everything about Sharon Duval - specially for the script of the confession episode dated 23 May 1977! I'm not a DAYS viewers (I'm Italian, I live in Italy and on You Tube there is almost nothing if not short videos), but I've seen some clips of Marlena's first possession (Deidre Hall is terrific in it! Storyline is garbage, but it has its chilling moments and it is funny - I laugh everytime I remember Kristen say to Marlena "according to the book of demonology"! Was she an espert of demons or what!? ) and read on Soap Opera Central daily recaps about infamous Melaswen (brainwashed Marlena has a particular sense of humor - killing ex alcoholic Maggie with a bottle of wine and Alice with her donuts...), so I know something about the soap. Little, but better than nothing.

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
