Forgive me if I sound delusional, but how does VH1 go from the magic of Flavor Flav/Bret Michaels/New York to boring-ass Benzino? At least those 3 brought me hours of entertainment with their ratchet antics, but I can't see a 12-episode (I'm guessing) dating competition on Zino interesting me in the least.

*wistfully remembering the golden years of VH1 trifling TV*

Exactly.....is this news confirmed? Benzino is probably the most boring of all people to appear on both L&H franchises...period There's nothing smooth or attractibve about him so its really perplexing to me how they would center a dating show around him.....

Stevie J on the other hand? Talk about a ratings success. Just imagine him with 12 other girls as he whittles them week by week. And of course Joseline and Mimi would make varous appearances throughout the show. I'm talking showing up to show out like New York (especially Miss Hernandez). The show would be magic given the right cast of girls....

I'm very excited to watch New York this season. Without the clown and all the other uinteresting people/storylines I feel like NY could actually be as exciting it should be.

Quit with the fake scenes. You know damn well K.Michelle didn't fly in no private jet to NY. They even have her wearing the same clothes she had on ATL as if she just got off the jet she left on.

Mona desperate to create a Mimi/Stevie/Joss storyline again. Didnt that fail last year with Tahiry/Joe/Kaylin? Tara looks like she's gonna annoy me.

LMAO, same here. I feel asleep halfway through this and thought VH1.com had gone into bonus footage by the time I woke up

    • 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.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
