The Royals returns Sunday, November 15 at 10pm. 

 

From E!'s press release:

 

"E!’s break out first scripted series “The Royals” returns in its explosive second season starring Elizabeth Hurley as Queen Helena, William Moseley as Prince Liam, Alexandra Park as Princess Eleanor, and Jake Maskall as the new crowned King Cyrus. The second season picks up in the wake of the tragic murder of King Simon. Thanks to some scheming between Queen Helena and Cyrus, Prince Liam and Princess Eleanor have been deemed illegitimate, thus thrusting Cyrus into power. While Eleanor drowns her sorrows in excessive amounts of booze and boys, Liam vows to avenge his father’s death and bring his killer to justice. Tom Austen and Dame Joan Collins also return as duplicitous bodyguard Jasper and the Grand Duchess of Oxford respectively"

Very satisfying kick off to Season 2...

 

They have rid themselves of the dead weight known as Ophelia. Hurray! Unfortunately, they have brought in her dead mother to haunt her father, a character who doesn't need to be there quite frankly.

 

Jake Maskell as King Cyrus is great fun.

 

William Moseley as Liam has improved a lot. And he's got a haircut and lost weight/got in shape. 

 

Alexandra Park as Eleanor continues to be a bright spot.

 

But of course it's really all about Elizabeth Hurley and Dame Joan Collins. Excellent chemistry and excellent scenes, both independently and together. Bring on more of both!

The last two episodes have been really satisfying. I love the addition of Laila Rouss (ex-Amber Gates from 'Footballer's Wives) as the deputy prime minister - I only hope Queen Helena triumphs over her. Their confrontation in this week's episode was great. 

 

That's been a nice bonus about The Royals. The odd UK soap actor (like Eastenders' Scott Maslen as James Holloway) pops up. 

 

Ratings haven't been as strong as last season, which is a real shame because the show has hit its stride, it will be interesting to see if it gets a third season.

Ok Laila Rouass was my everything and it was a tremendous surprise to see her turn around in that chair as the acting PM.   I can't see Cyrus approving her as PM with whats he plans on doing. Helena had me cracking up saying that she had knock-off Jimmy Choos and then telling her to ask the people to name the last and five previous PMs and then ask them who the Queen is... I detect no lies.

I'm not liking this Beck character... new chick that was hitting on Liam ... N O. I'm happy to see him get back out there even though I like Ophelia with Liam. They need to figure it out with her and I have to see if Merritt is going to be back this season.

It needed more Jasper and I just looooooooove Cyrus -- he's so damn good at being bad. HA at his guy telling him to pick the bulldog's nut.

    • In theory, a Hidden Passions mini-series would be fantastic, wouldn't it? 
    • Awe, thank you @DemetriKane! I so appreciate it. She really is; she's a strong principal guest, and I cannot wait to see what this next year has in store for her.
    • @Liberty City I look forward to your write ups everyday.

      And I couldn't be happier, I loved her from the beginning. She's a great addition to the cast.   Same. The only one I truly like and root for is Nicole. 
    • Mona... quit being a 'pick me'.  You're nothing to the Duprees except the help.  Now when you find out what Silk Press Sheila did to Laura than you can go off on her... until then.. stay quiet. I prefer the Joey/Vanessa scenes because they aren't the Duprees. Am I supposed to root for the Duprees?  I don't tend to root for, nor sympathize with those that come from privilege.  I'll always root for the underdog. 
    • Sheila in that Bill/Liam scene was utterly pointless and ruined the moment completely. Bell needs to cut his losses with KB, he clearly has NO idea what to do with Sheila    LMFAO        
    • I liked that realism, too.  (DanaLeslie/Lulu/whoever  is still shifty enough to have paid someone to learn those details over the years, though)

      date: Monday, May 12 | Sara A. Bibel, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Anthony Pascarelli Teddy Boy. Teddy Bear. DEADBEAT! Now we know where Deadbeat gets it from. Vanessa in a random two-second spotting with Deadbeat? Oh, okay then! Dana is selling herself to Nicole right now. Oh, look who it is... Anita showing up to support Dani in her demure confrontation with Deadbeat2. Mona is not playing with Eva; from "backstabbing heifer" to "girl bye", she is not playing with her. At all. Joey is fully playing Vanessa, and she's so easily falling for it. C'mon, honey, don't do that. Shanice is going to be a comfort board for Douglas when he takes her advice and helps him heal himself. Mona going off on Dana just like she deserves. Mama Dupree went off: "Handle your business!" Could Eva and Randy be potentially paired for a one-night stand? That could be an interesting twist. Damn Mona with the continued burns, this time for Dana: "Hell was made for people like you, Leslie. Enjoy the burn." Anita questioning her own decisions and instincts feels really natural and real. It's a nice change of pace from the other matriarchs we've seen established in American daytime. Now the true Dana/Ted scenes are coming out. Anita warning Eva that she'll never be a part of the Dupree family shows the claws are fully out. Teddy fully calling Dana "demented" and "psychotic" is going to cause some problems, won't it? Notes: I fully need Maurice Johnson (Ted) gone yesterday; his performances are just not selling to me. Love seeing Tamara Tunie (Anita) beginning to get her teeth into the meat of the scripts. It's about time. Karan Kendrick (Mona) delivered today!!! She's such a breath of fresh air.
    • Oh yeah Leslie is Sheila Carter levels of delulu    Damnit, Ambyr Michell you gutted me with that quivering lip
    • Damn, Anita doesn't play, that was pretty vicious.  I hope Eva gets her redemption.

      I doubted the tests but i liked that htey had Nicole as a doctor mention that the test also had genetic markers that matched Teds that Leslie really wouldnt have been able to fake. I think most people thought the test only said 99.999% chance match but its more detailed than that
