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?

    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.

Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
