I try not to be a covetous person, but I seriously want her life. And I'm sad that I'm about 15 years behind on all of the good living she's enjoyed since she first arrived in Hollywood. Something that I've always loved about Joan post-Dynasty is that she never gave in to the notion that a certain way of living went out of style. Joan is gonna be Joan. She was Joan before Alexis. She and Dame Shirley couldn't have picked better spots to call home than the south of France and Monaco where they can live it up being the glamorous women that they are. Kate O'Mara looks amazing by the way. Often when I see her or Stephanie I think about how we would have missed out on these beautiful Britons had Dynasty not cast Joan.

I remember looking at my friend's stepdad's Playboys when we were kids and seeing a topless pic of Joan and sharing how "old!" she was at 50! Ha!

So did she ever get a new place in NYC or did she say that they were just going to stay in hotels from now on? I don't recall.

First of all, how have I missed this thread?! Started by DaytimeFan no less!

Secondly, SFK, absolute word to everything you wrote. Joan lives the life she has always wanted to live (and one I have always dreamed of -- Monte Carlo, yachts, a house in Provence, another in Eaton Square. It's like the James Bond lifestyle but for fabulous divas).

Not that it has been easy -- she has had to battle through husbands who abused her, slept around, developed terrible drug addictions and tried to rob her of her money. She worked on some major D-list shlockers in order to keep her kids in private school. Dynasty was a serendipitous accident, an opportunity she grasped with both hands. Because Joan loves life and loves living it. She is also a late bloomer, IMO -- she really came into her own in her 40s looks-wise and as television's premiere uberbitch on Dynasty (many have tried but nobody has succeeded in stealing her crown) and it was only in her late-60s that she finally married a sweet guy who seems to truly care for her. She deserves it.

Oh, and true story -- my first ever job (well, internship) was at a literary agency where JC was one of the authors represented. JC had a burgeoning boinkbuster career in the 1990s. So Day 2, and I'm answering the phones. Joan calls and I recognize her voice immediately (I wasn't a Dynasty fan for nothing). She wants to speak to our head agent. I put her on hold with a "One moment please, Mrs. Collins." Unfortunately, Big Agent is on the phone so I get back to Joan on the line who is hissing and spitting, madder than a wet cat. I get an earful about addressing her as "Miss Collins" before she asks to be passed on to my colleague who also gets an earful. It's a wonder I didn't get fired that very day.

But you know what? I'm not even sorry she yelled at me and it has not diminished my appreciation of her. The Great Joan Collins tore me a new a$$hole and that is how it should be. Miss Collins a megastar with a huge diva reputation to protect. It would have been rude of her not to get icy.

      What kind of work would Johnny do? He looks very inexperienced at everything.

      What consequences are there to suffer? He didnt commit any crime and everyone already hates him. If anything this will set back the progress he's made with Naomi

      Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.

      OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.

      It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.'

      And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.

      @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.
