If this is true, then that's crazy on Bravo's behalf. They usually like to film mess/drama, and I'm sure Luann's breakup with Jacques would've been messy. Regardless her position and how I feel about her, Luann deserves her apple back next season. She also made being a "friend" of the HWs a good position. Especially, when you were previously hated. It's a good way to clean up your image since you're shown in a less and you're in less drama. Nene might wanna follow suit....

My only issue with that is I think LuAnn only worked this season bc she was a friend. She was played out as a housewife. She had little to nothing to offer in season 6 and I don't think her life is interesting enough to be featured. She worked as a friend, messy and playing a supporting role in other people's stories but she really has none of her own. With that said, I cant argue that she doesn't deserve her apple back bc she did work for it and It worked. I think she does deserve a raise based on that. Cant she get one as a friend? LOL

If you think about it, Luann missing the first 2-3 episodes doesn't really matter in terms of whether she was intended to be a housewife or just a friend --- they've introduced new housewives after 2-3 episodes (i.e. Alexis and Lizzy from OC) --- plus Avivia is a housewife this season even though she was cut out of the opening for 3-4 episodes right in the middle. I think Bravo waits until the end, after editing, to determine who gets to be housewife vs. friend vs. cut out altogether. Remember Fernanda from the OC? She was filmed as a housewife the entire season, with her very own storylines (i.e. becoming a citizen) and even had promo shots with the other ladies, but was dropped last minute to just a friend. I think Luann is just a friend because the only non-group storyline she had was her relationship with Jacques (her kids are so angsty, dare I say a mess, and hate to be filmed as teenagers)... and her relationship with Jacques was so last season (that's all she had last season), and with them breaking up, which probably wasn't filmed... they just decided to make her a friend and cut out all her non-group scenes. She's never featured outside of group settings.

Marysol from Miami was very similar in that we saw her every episode and was filmed in most group scenes, however her solo storyline really wasn't there unless you include scenes with Mama Elsa. So Marysol is even more of a mystery I guess as to why she wasn't a full housewife...

In the end LuAnn will appear in more episodes than Aviva, plus Aviva also held out and wasn't there when filming first began. That was very obvious in the very beginning. You could tell the ladies were hoping they wouldn't have to deal with her except in the past tense. I too think the only reason LuAnn was demoted was because of the Jacques thing, but it was stupid. She's a major presence and an original cast member. They needed her.

Kandi's Wedding:

Can I just say that I LOVE Todd's mother, Sharon. I loved how she didn't back down to Mama Joyce, and she left Mama Joyce with nothing but egg on her face. I was glad to see Carmon coming for Kandi's other friend, who kept bringing up with bridal shop situation. And I'm seriously over them (Bravo) trying to make Reco Chapelle work. He's just not. I'm glad that Andre Leon Talley dissed his basic ass designs by saying that Phelony's bridal dress looked like a dress to be worn at a evening dinner party. Not a bridesmaid dress.

Go Sharon! Mama Joyce is acting like a damn fool and I love that Todd's mom tried to check her.

That Tan is such a hater. I gotta say, Im digging Carmon here. Almost makes me want her to hold a peach or at least appear more regularly bc she is bringing the drama with her fabulous self and showing much more personality here.

RHOC:

I see tonight is the start of catalyst that is going to occur down the road, which is Tamra FINALLY being dropped into the hot seat. I loved how Vicki 'woman'd up' and apologized to Heather. I'm glad that Vicki also admitted her insecurities when it comes to Heather. If Vicki would've done this with past HWs (e.g. Gretchen & Alexis), Vicki would actually be well liked. It's good to see that the light bulb is starting to turn on with her, and she's slowly (but surely) is detaching herself from Trampy Sue's hip.

Trampy Sue continues to strengthen my hatred for her as she over analyzes everything. Her whining about that segment and how Heather was "cold" to her was stupid. Again, this bi*ch should be happy that Heather featured her on the show. Heather needs to wipe her hands clean of her. And for Tramps to saying that Heather was 'acting' during the segment was pathetic seeing as she was acting with those fake ass tears.

Shannon.... Please don't renew this looney broad's contract next season. She is missing a screw loose and it's not even funny; however, I am gonna love next week how Tamra telling Heather about Shannon's husband e-mail (David wanting to get a divorce) is gonna be tossed in her face and land her in the hot seat.

That was real big of Vickie to confide in Heather. I loved their scene as it shed light and improved their friendship. The snoring was fun and I liked how Heather called her out on it yet had a sense of humor about it

Tamra does need to get over herself. Considering they were going into the segment with tension, does she not understand that Heather might feel uncomfortable and nervous? IMO, its Tamra's fault for going off on her last week and setting this all in motion. Expecting Heather to go to her green room and prep her? No. If this was so important to you, you should have reached out to Heather before this segment to clear the air, bite your tongue and get over it. LMAO at even Eddie seemingly being over her drama

At the same time, I did think Heather was making BS excuses, like the whole clothes change, as if she didn't realize she need fitness clothes for a fitness segment until 2 minutes before it? Girl, please. She should have just owned up to her frosty attitude bc it was understandable

Crazy Lady and her husband separating? It seemed so obvious from episode one that they were heading towards a divorce. She is such a nagging b-tch to him. No man wants to be treated like that as she is so disrespectful especially in front of company.

Tamra's tears at lunch? Girl, bye. Playing the victim here just isn't working. Its backfiring

I LOVE how Heather handles Tamra. You can actually tell Tamra doesn't have the balls to try and go in on Heather like she has with all the girls in the past. I thought it was hilarious though that she actually expected Heather to be nice and warm when they hadn't spoken at all since the blow up at Shannon's.

Speaking of Shannon, how the hell is she surprised her husband wants a divorce? She doesn't act like she even remotely likes him, so the tears did absolutely nothing for me.

The Vicki and Heather sit down was perfect though. I like that it seems Vicki is growing a bit. I've always loved Crazy Gunvalson.

I would love for Mama Sharon to get liquored up and beat the dog sh!t out of Mama Joyce.

Kandi is such a passive/aggressive little fool. She will jump in anyone's face over food and her man, but her mother can disrespect whomever and everyone else needs to adjust? At some point, you buy your mother a little house of her own on the other side of the country and let her know she is not welcomed in your home. Her sisters can keep her company!

Todd, marry that bitch, live in luxury and cheat cheat cheat!

    • What a wonderful photo! It really is a shame that Peacock will not show those early years. I know I'd love to see them!
    • With the death of Days and GH actress, Denise Alexander, someone posted this in the Days thread, a '60s-era photo of some of the cast, which lists the names. In the upper left, is a young Susan Flannery, who obviously ended up playing Stephanie Forrester on B&B, who was one of a few actresses to play Dr. Laura Horton [mother to Mike and Jennifer Horton] on Days. Here is a link to the photo: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/38014-days-behind-the-scenes-articlesphotos/?do=findComment&comment=2022200

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.     
    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.
