This looks horrible. I don't believe a single second of this promo and it is just like every other fake reality show that insults and degrades all women by insisting every woman in "reality" is this rabid fighter unable to control their anger. How is it possible the entire world gets by without daily fistfights and throwing glasses of wine on each other, but when it is "reality" every conversation and grouping of two or more women leads to petty feuds, bitchery and women acting like they have the emotional maturity of six as they froth at the mouth a la rabies?

Donna Mills and Joan Collins don't look fabulous here, they look pathetic for even agreeing to participate in this nonsense dreck. Vanessa Marcil doesn't care what Donna wants? Why is she working with her on this fake TV show then? All reality TV is dross and the true depths of TV, the lowest form of entertainment TV has to offer--somewhere lower than monster trucks on the sophistication scale of society, and this seems right up there with the Real Housewives of Anywhere, the Kardashians and every other fake BS show on E, Bravo and whatever other channels this crap airs on.

Seriously, quartermainefan, don't hold back. ;)

You ARE right, though, about your assessments of this show and of "reality" shows in general. Donna Mills and Joan Collins always look fabulous no matter how putrid the show...but otherwise, I totally agree with what you are saying.

I'm open minded about this especially with that gem Donna Mills. I really didn't like most of the people on Dirty Soap but I don't mind most of the cast here (except Chrystee Pharris who flopped on Passions but then again it was a pointless character anyway). And somehow they don't come across as the big attention whores that the horse faced Kardashians are. Can't wait!

I'm open minded about this too. I've enjoyed the snippets I've seen, which surprised me. I disagree about Pharris, but the first and last Simone's were much better.

Why do Crystal Hunt and Hartley hate each other? How are they even remotely aware of the other? Mutual friends? Simply because of being in the soap business? And Hunt needs to watch herself criticizing Hartley for 'mom roles' because, um, darling Crystal, you'll be there at some point. I love when people throw stones like that when they'll be in the same boat. I don't see anyone pounding down her door to give her a gig.

I looove how Donna just OWNS them and gives no [!@#$%^&*] about it.

I'm with Donna on medical dramas being done. As a major component of a full-blown daytime-style soap? Absolutely. But as the center of a primetime show? No. It's just done. There are ways to change it up, but as long as primetime medical dramas are basically soaps set in big city hospitals, who cares?

    • I tend to lean into Nigel Campbell's work and lately, Ryan Quan, as well.
    • Outside of their headwriters, GH and BTG only credit the breakdown Writer and scriptwriter for each episode. Days credits their whole team daily with their breakdown writer listed after Ryan Quan. Their scriptwriter is the last writer listed. Hope Rena Sofer ain't gone for good
    • Thank you, that makes sense.  I do pay attention to the list when I watch.  I seem to like episodes where Charlotte Gibson is on the list.

    • It's no smaller than Beyond the Gates, honestly. Usually comprised of a breakdown writer, a script writer and a script editor; they only credit each episode with who dealt with that episode's work. But they do have a list of nine writers altogether (not counting Korte and Van Etten).
    • LOL!  He kept saying homina, homina, homina. Like the Three Stooges.   
    • Fantastic show today.   Tamara has me weeping and she was right when she said the story would be unexpected.

      date: Tuesday, June 3 | Sara A. Bible, Danielle Paige | Steven Williford Anita is too emotional for an artefact of the Articulettes? What the Hell happened?! Child bride, what in the Hell are you doing at Dani's home? Put your pee-pee stick away, please. No one cares. Dana is seeking a restraining order against Katherine, yet approaches her at Orphey Gene's? Delulu to the highest of extents, ma'am! Of course Bill would want Tomas to spy on the Dupree family for him via his [new] relationship with Katherine. That's low, Bill. Do not do it, Tomas. Not even to get yourself ahead; I'm sure the Duprees will help you open your own law firm. Yes, child bride, take the test in front of the superior Hamilton wife. Do it. I dare you. What have you got there, Anita? A letter to "Anita Williams Articulette"? What's this about? Dani's line about sharing a husband and the child bride spreading her legs for her is brilliant. Poor Andre, having to see Ashley make out with the man she shouldn't even be with. Go fight for your woman, Andre! But the second choice is always there. Oh, so much like the Supremes, there was a fourth Articulette at some point? Interesting. Nice detail. Ashley versus Dana? Oh now this is some juicy, juicy development I needed! Yes, let this happen. But Derek, sit your useless ass down. Maybe go save another cat from another fire. While I appreciate Katherine's persistence, Tomas continues to bring up brilliant points from a legal point of view. Ms Dana, go ahead and take Derek off of Ashley's hands, please. Time you got yourself someone new, although you want things you're not meant to have. It's your character trait. Bill is definitely beginning to give signs of something very serious; is it epilepsy? Oh shït is hitting the fan, re: the Anita storyline. She knows this letter, back to front. Wow. Damn... so the fourth Articulette unalived herself? That's a strong reveal, and not at all what I would expected! Notes: Once again, Karla Mosley (Dani) continues to eat up the dialogue written for her and delivers it so effortlessly. I've noticed this several times in the past month, but Alex Alegria's (Tomas) jackets, from my perspective, seem to be tailored too tight in his arms, or Jeresa Featherstone is buying things to fight the other parts of his upper body. The smarter thing to do would be to buy something that fits his more athletic upper arms and tailor in the sides of the jackets. Because the ones he's been wearing recently do not fit him properly, they should not be bunching at the shoulders like that. Tamara Tunie (Anita) just earned herself the Emmy! Give it to her right now.

        so there was a 4th Articulette and she killed herself bc of Anita? Im confused
    • Question.  Why is the list on-screen of writers so small for GH?  Are there really that few writers for this show, or does the show employ uncredited "extra help" to save money?
