Members dragonflies Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 This comes very close to making me lose what respect I had for her, ugh. She's scraping bottom of the barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if this is all being blown out of proportion and she's just going to appear in some party gathering, like a party of Lisa Rinna's or some function where D-list celebrities are doing a fashion show for Rinna's clothing line. I can't imagine that Davidson would have the time or interest to join Housewives full-time, or even as a "Friend of" (which are usually those who filmed full-time, but never got the official peach/apple/orange/diamond to hold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted July 24, 2014 Members Share Posted July 24, 2014 I do think Eileen is too classy for this. I just hope her life is as secure as it seems and can't be damaged by the mess this franchise brings with it in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 29, 2014 Members Share Posted July 29, 2014 Poor Eileen. She must be near broke and homeless to sign on to make such pennies doing this piece of trash. Esp compared to the high art she is used to doing at YR and Days for billions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 30, 2014 Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 I thought the same, except for the way this show seems to have a real effect on people's personal lives. ED seems very pragmatic about her career. You gotta make that hay while the sun shines, if you want to maintain a fabulous lifestyle. I'm sure she'll be well paid and Real Housewives is only a step or two below soaps anyway. There was a time Y&R was a cut above, but that day is gone.

Members Gray Bunny Posted July 30, 2014 Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 Some people consider soaps trash. Others consider The Housewives trash. So both those camps would say she's trading one piece of crap for another. Maybe Eileen is embarking on a line of Pinot Grigio or some shape wear and figures the Housewives are an excellent platform to promote it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted July 30, 2014 Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 This is a smart move for Eileen and Lisa. I expect they'll make some good coins and it's going to raise their profile. They just need to play their cards right and hope they are likable or at least love-to-hate. For Lisa she has basically made a career out of her personality, so this was a logical step and will be good for her. For Eileen I expect this could help her acting career. She's a huge, huge soap star, but as with many long time soap stars she isn't as known to people who don't watch soaps. This added boost of visibility could help her move outside of soaps. Bravo has several scripted shows in development and she could easily start on one of those. Who knows? No matter how you look at it, it's easy money and good promo for soaps.

Members Eric83 Posted July 30, 2014 Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 Lmaooooo I dont see how anyone who watches soaps can look down on reality tv. Both insult our intelligence and is just mindless entertainment for the most part. (At least soaps post 1990s anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted July 30, 2014 Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 How is it going to get them acting roles outside of soaps? It doesn't even help the current actresses who are on these housewives shows to land roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JackPeyton Posted July 31, 2014 Members Share Posted July 31, 2014 Actually, it helps many land roles in tv and cameo roles in movies. No, an Oscar it isn't - but it's more than most did before. More than anything it raises their profile, but Rinna lands gig pretty steady and Eileen is set at YR/Days. I don't really see either trying to use this to launch a major acting career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 31, 2014 Members Share Posted July 31, 2014 that's not true. Heather Dubrow has landed quite a few roles since joining. The RH show made her relevant again when prior to joining, I would have been like Heather who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted July 31, 2014 Members Share Posted July 31, 2014 Kyle and Kim don't want to act so they haven't received many acting gigs, but the ones that DO want to act have shown they can book gigs. Hell, even The Countess booked some guest spots on tv shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
