Oh you should definitely watch her season of Footballer's Wives, it's GREAT fun. Dame Joan even gets to use the F-Bomb in an episode - it's on YouTube and easily searchable!

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!

So not only is she in at least four episodes...but Joan was in the season 2 opener?

If so, yesssssss...MS knows what he got and if I know him he will use her exquisitely because he loves a good scheming vixen per OTH.

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.

    • I did not care, just clarifying that was the discussion point. If there are ice cream bars in Statesville I am sure there is a full spa
    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
    • It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?
