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.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.

Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.

      What Are You Watching/Binging/Streaming Now?

      By YRBB · Posted

      Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
