Ive learned from reality television that nothing good can come from women gathering together for a dinner party, especially when there are unresolved issues. Of course this one got physical. Carla's alot tougher than I thought she would be. Im changing my opinion on Renee. Hated her at first but liking her more with each episode. She acts all tough on the outside but really she's a softie

LOVE this show. Absolutely addicted to it.

I actually like all the women in different ways.

Renee's a huge cry baby and is, paradoxically, the hardest, nastiest, baddest bitch on the show.

Carla I probably like the least because her son is a despicable brat and she doesn't do anything about it.

Drita I probably like the best because she seems like an excellent mother, has a good sense of humour and has the good sense to take off her high heels when she throws down.

Karen is good but a little repetitive, I know you're writing the book Karen, get back to fighting with people and seeing your dad's old haunts, that's where the juice is.

Finished the first episode last night. It needs to build but these women are compelling and so is that whole mob/omerta environment. Drita is the stand-out for me, with her shards-of-glass voice and take-no-prisoners attitude. I could have sworn she was 100% Italian -- she looks exactly like a friend of mine whose family originally came from Naples.

Carla, I'm getting the least from. I'm sure that will change, though. They had a preview of some Renee/Carla fight and these two were literally ripping the hair from each other's head.

Sorry just can't get into this at all it's just not authentic. Renee clearly has a flare for the dramatic, she seems like the girl who never got to pursue her dreams for theatre and is living it out on this show (the joke is she really authentically seem unstable but I don't JUST find those things amusing). The rest eh, Drita had some potential but I can't watch her and not pity the unhealthy life that she's wrapped up in and it's not that it seems exciting to grab me, it just seems sad. Karen seemed like she had the most potential but she just started failing me especially how her and Renee made up that all just seemed tooo scripted. The scripting is being over done here. And the other one is just there. I'm sure these women are interesting in their own rights, I just don't like how the stories are being played out

Dear Lord, Daytime Fan, what have you wrought?! I am fully ADDICTED to this show. Canot take my eyes off of Drita and I feel sorry for Renee to the extent that she both loves and loathes the gilded cage in which she has grown up.

Also I'm glad the show has moved on from the rivalries within the group to carry some story linked with Drita's loneliness, Carla's no-good boyfriend and Renee's attempts at dating outside of the mob. :lol:

Wasn't Episode 7 the one where Drita and Renee went online to search for non-mobster tail for Renee? Because that is the one I watched yesterday.

Karen is interesting to me, she is obviously smart and enjoys playing people against each other. And she can be two-faced. One to watch...

Karen needs to get over her damn self. I'm glad she got her ass kicked -- she's been playing the wives since she came, pitting one against the other against the other. And I didn't get that it was Lee who cheated on Drita with Karen, I thought it was a previous bf of Drita's who Karen kissed...? I'm surprised because Drita and Lee seem to have a very strong physical and emotional connection -- which is why she cannot bring herself to divorce him. Whatever, I was exhausted when I watched this and it got pretty incoherent with the screaming. Drita don't play, people! And the fact that they were pummelling each other on top of a flattened Renee will never not be funny.

    • There are couple of thoughts I would like to share.  I haven't been around for a while, so it's possible that other people have already addressed these matters. 1. The other day, Michael referred to Scout as his children's 2nd cousin.  That is not right.  Drew and AJ were half-brothers.  That means that AJ's son, Michael, and Drew's daughter, Scout, are half 1st cousins.  That, in turn, means that Scout is half 1st cousins, once removed to Wiley and Amelia.   2. I wonder if the show will have Monica and Lesley die on the same day, perhaps a few hours apart.  That would be an interesting end for their characters.  
    • I tend to lean into Nigel Campbell's work and lately, Ryan Quan, as well.
    • Outside of their headwriters, GH and BTG only credit the breakdown Writer and scriptwriter for each episode. Days credits their whole team daily with their breakdown writer listed after Ryan Quan. Their scriptwriter is the last writer listed. Hope Rena Sofer ain't gone for good
    • Thank you, that makes sense.  I do pay attention to the list when I watch.  I seem to like episodes where Charlotte Gibson is on the list.

    • It's no smaller than Beyond the Gates, honestly. Usually comprised of a breakdown writer, a script writer and a script editor; they only credit each episode with who dealt with that episode's work. But they do have a list of nine writers altogether (not counting Korte and Van Etten).
    • LOL!  He kept saying homina, homina, homina. Like the Three Stooges.   
    • Fantastic show today.   Tamara has me weeping and she was right when she said the story would be unexpected.

      date: Tuesday, June 3 | Sara A. Bible, Danielle Paige | Steven Williford Anita is too emotional for an artefact of the Articulettes? What the Hell happened?! Child bride, what in the Hell are you doing at Dani's home? Put your pee-pee stick away, please. No one cares. Dana is seeking a restraining order against Katherine, yet approaches her at Orphey Gene's? Delulu to the highest of extents, ma'am! Of course Bill would want Tomas to spy on the Dupree family for him via his [new] relationship with Katherine. That's low, Bill. Do not do it, Tomas. Not even to get yourself ahead; I'm sure the Duprees will help you open your own law firm. Yes, child bride, take the test in front of the superior Hamilton wife. Do it. I dare you. What have you got there, Anita? A letter to "Anita Williams Articulette"? What's this about? Dani's line about sharing a husband and the child bride spreading her legs for her is brilliant. Poor Andre, having to see Ashley make out with the man she shouldn't even be with. Go fight for your woman, Andre! But the second choice is always there. Oh, so much like the Supremes, there was a fourth Articulette at some point? Interesting. Nice detail. Ashley versus Dana? Oh now this is some juicy, juicy development I needed! Yes, let this happen. But Derek, sit your useless ass down. Maybe go save another cat from another fire. While I appreciate Katherine's persistence, Tomas continues to bring up brilliant points from a legal point of view. Ms Dana, go ahead and take Derek off of Ashley's hands, please. Time you got yourself someone new, although you want things you're not meant to have. It's your character trait. Bill is definitely beginning to give signs of something very serious; is it epilepsy? Oh shït is hitting the fan, re: the Anita storyline. She knows this letter, back to front. Wow. Damn... so the fourth Articulette unalived herself? That's a strong reveal, and not at all what I would expected! Notes: Once again, Karla Mosley (Dani) continues to eat up the dialogue written for her and delivers it so effortlessly. I've noticed this several times in the past month, but Alex Alegria's (Tomas) jackets, from my perspective, seem to be tailored too tight in his arms, or Jeresa Featherstone is buying things to fight the other parts of his upper body. The smarter thing to do would be to buy something that fits his more athletic upper arms and tailor in the sides of the jackets. Because the ones he's been wearing recently do not fit him properly, they should not be bunching at the shoulders like that. Tamara Tunie (Anita) just earned herself the Emmy! Give it to her right now.
    • Bill right now
