Cheap 21,

I now know who the person in your signature is!

I happen to find the Real housewives of Melbourne on youtube and binge watched 8 episodes in a two day period. I think there is one or two more episodes to the season, but I think my thoughts won't change too much after watching those episodes.

Gina:

I love her! She seems very laid back, and kind of reminds me of a heavily made up Shockard Channing. While I could understand how she could rub people the wrong way, I don't think the attacks toward her are warranted. Me thinks production had a hand in her being late for tennis match since she did indicate that she said that she was caught at work, and when the women said they didnt hear this, she said then it's a communication issue. I'm thinking she told production she would be late and they didn't tell the other women knowing that if they didn't it would increase the drama factor.

Granted she is late, wears high heels, and probably didn't clean up make up in the bathroom.. but I don't think her not owning up to calling Lydia and Andrea the c word makes her any worse then Andrea/Lydia/Jackie for making fun of her behind her back.

Jackie:

She's annoying, but I could see why she would have an issue with Gina in the first place especially the way Lydia relayed what Gina had told her. I do see that she and Gina warm toward each other later. Though letting angel's advise her on business decisions...umm.. that's a new one :) Plus, saying her husband is a rock star countless times is a drinking game ready to happen :)

Janet:

I'm confused with her sudden shift from liking Gina to wanting to strangle her. In episode 5, she and Gina are having fun.. but in episode 6, she wants to strangle her. Even Gina was confused and blindsided about Janet's anger toward her. There is enough other stuff to like about her, but she needs to lay off the botox.

Lydia:

The lesser of two evils. She seems to be slightly less harsh toward Gina, but she did stir the pot by blabbing to Jackie about what Gina said.. and twisting it. I like that she is in college, but the way she spoke to her professor shows how disdainful she views authority and shows how superior she thinks she is over others... I bet she will display that toward Andrea one day.

Cyka:

I love her! She is a peacemaker, wanting to see good in others, which means that she will get dumped on. She has a great husband, and seems close with her son. I do hope she can advise Jackie and husband on business matters.

Andrea:

What a two faced witch. Nothing likable about her at all.

Also, Lisa should have watched how Gina handled the gang up... She was doing her makeup while the women were bickering and ganging up on her LOL I love how delusional Lydia and Andrea were thinking that Gina was afraid of them, but I think she just doesn't care and is willing to watch them hang themselves.. or turn against one another :) Plus, I wouldn't stay either.. not cause I did something wrong but I figure if you don't want me there then I'll just leave.

Sonja automatically has me forgiving her for EVERYTHING just for dragging LuMann through the dirt like the cheap wannabe that she is!!!!

And rollseye at the double standard re Porsha/Kenya from certain people....

Ramona has always been Queen of RHONY despite Jill wanting that title. And Ramona will stay Queen until she's ready to bow down and leave on her accord.

I'm calling major bullshit on Nene acting as if everything would be fine if Cynthia called her wife Greg a bitch. The double standards this woman has is mind baffling. I don't believe for a second that Nene knows how to have a true real genuine friendship with anyone. How miserable it must have to be to be around her.

What I'm saying is Cynthia still allowed a friendship with Nene to happen even after her calling Peter a bitch. If it were the other way around Nene wouldn't of given Cynthia the time of day. And if she did, I'm sure it would be at productions request. It's not front page news that Cynthia lacks a backbone when it comes to their friendship. Hell, all of Nene's friends lack backbones around her which is why she's able to maintain friendships with them. But the moment you have a differing opinion its done. See Kim, Sheree, Marlo, Lexie and everyone else that's had the misfortune of calling Nene (Meme) a friend.

They did, but Lexis still tweets/instagrams about nene and says stuff like #TeamLeakes. Not to mention She was just an event held in honor of Nene's son a couple of weeks back and he mentioned her, calling her "auntie" and stuff.

I think that their friendship is on life support like Marlo/Nene's was going into this season. I think like Cynthia, Lexis still doesn't appreciate the comments she made against her on IDON, and I can see Nene weeding her out her clique too because Lexis (besides Marlo) was one of the few friends that would call Nene out on her sh*t. At the end of the day, if you aren't dirty, d*ck riding Diana then Nene ain't checking for you.

I definitely think Lexis and Nene are having issues. My guess is that the problem Nene had is that Marlo and Lexis were her real friends OFF camera and when she brought them on the show she expected them to co-sign everything she did. Problem is, you can't introduce people like Lexis to Marlo, have them hit it off and then be mad if they continue to like each other. YOU introduced them. I think that's what caused a rift between Nene and Lexis because all during I Dream of Nene you had Lexis supporting Marlo (as she should, Diana was wrong) and I could tell as Nene fell out with Marlo, she was upset with that. That's probably why she started to get passive-aggressive calling Lexis a "hoodrat."

Agree. But that's been Nene's game always. You like who she likes when she likes them, and you better fall in line when she despises them too. Lexis, like Marlo, is too strong-minded and independent that she can't do that, and I commend that. As long as she remained loyal to Nene, which she did, then why should it matters if she remains friendly with Marlo.

You are one of very few Mr. Vixen. It's so crazy. I feel it was an obvious stunt to save her job attacking Kenya and it may have worked. Before people weren't featuring her at all and now there is a sudden interest simply because she has "wronged" controversial Kenya. It was her last ditch effort and it may have worked. She's clearly fooled a lot of people.

I feel like if Porsha IS brought back on the basis that Kenya provoked her, then that ruins the entire franchise. What is going to stop Nene from punching Kenya because she didn't like the way Kenya talked to her? Or Cynthia says something about Mama Joyce and Kandi decides to punch her. It's just silly. These shows, especially this one, are about talking shyt. That's what they do to each other, even when they like each other. Porsha had no right to hit anybody and trying to justify it is going to be the downfall of this show.

Team Ken!

    • You hit the nail on the head.  Nope, you are not alone. I like her too. 
    • Out of these, I hope she isn't connected to Samantha and Tyrell. I just don't see a long term story there. I hadn't thought of a connection to Leslie but now that you bring it up...what if we find out June is Haley's sister and both were abandoned and raised in foster care. June ended up on the streets and Haley ended up with the Duprees. The mother who dumped them in foster care? Leslie. If they end up making Eva a stolen child of Nicole's, it would be a good way to develop some family for Leslie to help keep her on the canvas. She could ultimately make up with her kids and then she'd have access to Bill's money/power which could help her become a long term rival for the Duprees.
    • This was a HUGE story on the show for many years. Justin (Ross's brother) and Jackie Marler were Phillip's real parents. They showed a lot of the backstory in flashback when Jackie came on the show. Jackie caught Justin in bed with another woman. She was so devastated she divorced him immediately. She found out she was pregnant. I'm a little hazy on this--I THINK she told him she had an abortion, but maybe not. Maybe she just never told him she was pregnant. Anyway, she decided to give the baby up for adoption. She went to Europe (I think it was Amsterdam) to have the baby. She had the same doctor as Elizabeth Spaulding, who also was pregnant. The doctor was a personal friend of Alan's. He told Alan that Elizabeth's baby would be born dead and she would not be able to have more children. Instead of telling his wife the truth, Alan conspired with the doctor to do a baby switch. The doctor knew Jackie was planning to give her baby up, and she agreed to let the Spauldings have Phillip. Elizabeth woke up from the surgery and was told Jackie's baby was hers. Jackie almost immediately regretted it. She insinuated herself into Alan and Elizabeth's life so she could be near Phillip. They all became good friends. When Alan and Elizabeth returned to the states, they stayed with Jackie at first. Eventually, Alan and Elizabeth divorced and Jackie married him so she could be Phillip's stepmother. It was a disatrous marriage and they also divorced.  Justin found out the truth. Justin and Jackie remarried. Elizabeth found out and wanted them to have custody of Phillip. Alan, of course, was furious but for some odd reason eventually agreed to it. (He did not know at the time Justin and Jackie were the bio parents).  Ross and Alan had kind of an up and down relationship over the years. Ross wanted to BE like Alan in the beginning. When he was married to Carrie they were actually close friends with Alan and Hope. Their relationship totally degraded when Alan was chasing Trish Lewis and she chose Ross instead. Yes, and he also did not approve of how Alan dealt with Phillip much of the time. So they never became friends again.
    • It just does not feel like Y&R anymore, even if a lot of the actors are familiar. It's just... completely lost, and I've never not felt it couldn't be turned around until now and the past few years. Stunt castings (Colleen Zenk) do not remedy the mess. At all. The focus is all wrong; there is no focus. None at all.
    • 1) Ross and Alan had a history aside from Phillip. In the early '80's Alan torpedoes Ross' campaign for DA in retribution for Trish Lewis leaving him and falling for Ross. Ross then assisted Alex in kicking Alan out of Spaulding. Then in the late '80's, Vanessa and Ross break up over her working at Spaulding with Alan, and she's briefly engaged to Alan. Then Alan shot Phillip accidently, and well....you get (part) of the picture.  Phillip trusted Ross, and their closeness really chafed at Alan. I do not think Ross really initially held Alan adopting Phillip against him. Jackie had lied to Justin and had the baby in secret.  Jackie discovered Justin had had an affair and divorced him. When she came to town, she actually ended up marrying Alan to be close to Phillip. Jackie and Justin eventually remarried and had a daughter named Sam. Jackie dies, and Justin leaves town about a year later. Justin makes a brief return, but it's mostly tied to Sam and then Phillip leaves in '91. Justin leaves town again.  Rick and Phillip patch up their friendship, although there are some other rough patches. 2) No, Rick and Fletch generally got along. But I don't recall them interacting much afterward either after the divorce. Meredith had left of her own accord, and Fletch and Rick drifted into other stories.
    • Has Sonny been a mobster since Guza? Yes, he has. Back then was he portrayed somehow as a good man, righteous? No, he was not.  Now, fly through time. Sonny has been credited with taking care of Stone & then Robin. Before you could turn around twice & shout! Sonny donated enough money to build a wing of the hospital in honor of Stone. IMO Mulcahey was on the right track. Maybe that lead to this? We may thank him yet.
    • I totally agree and that's why I wish they had played up Mary's connection to Reginald because I think Alexander had more chemistry with Considine. They never explored her backstory and just thought Mary belonged back with her family. I think a better story would be if she rejected Vince and wanted to stay with Reginald. I know we've litigated Reginald's character, but I wish they had played it that way because it would have kept the Loves and the McKinnons connected beyond just Vicky and Jake.

    • I just saw this old-ish quote from Jane Krakowski, mentioning the circus story as a worst (she said it was a ratings grab) along with the flood. She also mentioned that the reason her character was called TR is because they didn't come up with a name for her - it stood for "The Runaway." https://www.soapcentral.com/soapcentral/news/2017/0629-jane_krakowski_search_for_tomorrow.php What was TR's exit, anyway? She left before the show ended and then returned for the finale, right? Did she ever have love again after Ryder? This is John Mahoney around five minutes, right? I never knew he was on a soap.

      I sometimes wondered why Evie was recast. I get why now. I've always had a soft spot for Colleen Dion, but she is very, very green here.
    • Mary Carney was the best of the Mary recasts. I think everyone I've seen talk about the show has said this, or almost everyone. The show just gave up too quickly. I agree the story was over. I don't think the show ever developed Mary's career enough to make viewers care about that aspect. I remember reading an interview with Ilene Kristen where she talked about how much support she got from viewers with Jill and Frank (I think it was from around then). I don't know if Roger/Delia was always the plan (wasn't he interested in Mary early on?) but I sometimes think they threw that together to try to make viewers feel Delia had no moral high ground. Frank was an interesting construct as a man who looked like the ideal politician yet behaved...like a typical politician. I think that's why he mostly took off once they cast Daniel Hugh Kelly, who fit the duality.
