Yes, I agree. I mean I know Chuck is showing up soon, but really what has happened with everyone? We hear that Nancy is single again (shocking), but what about Crystal and where did Bev's money all go? I know the writers just keep acting that "real fans" won't care, but we do. You have 20 years to fill in and I get there are only 9 episodes, but really. We need to know things, like Jackie's old house, son. What happened to the dinner and how DJ and the girl he refused to kiss because she was black a few years later, decided they were stupid kids and got married and joined the military. What Jerry is really doing and when did Mark actually die?
I've been wondering what happened to Dan's job with the city. I mean, maybe he retired, but given their money issues (and health issues) you would think he'd hold onto a government job as hard as he could.

KFB theory:
Luann is still fucking pissed about Barbara K talking to Carole micced up at Dorinda's charity event
That makes so much sense.
Also, damn, Tinsley has no chill whatsoever.

Do we really need a scene of Luann pretending to look for an apartment in the city every year?
If it's a choice between this and having to hear about Tom every five seconds...

It's pretty rich that Bethany has adopted a "why does everyone have to be so mean to Sonja and exclude her?" attitude given that she once forced Dorinda to disinvite Sonja to the Berkshires so that she (Bethany) wouldn't have to be around her.
I mean, it's great if Bethany has decided to try to be a nicer person, but not acknowledging that she's played the same game with Sonja in the past makes her look like a hypocrite.

I like Teddi, but I really wish she'd find another way to describe what she did/how she feels other than saying "100%." I don't know why this bugs me, other than that she seems to incorporate it each time she's explaining herself about something.

Does anyone know what Schwartz's actual role at TomTom is supposed to be? Sandoval, I think, could perform a managerial role (and, I assume, he's also going to be bartending - at least while the place gets off the ground?) but I wouldn't trust Schwartz to manage his own sock drawer, let alone a business. What is he bringing to this aside from his investment?

I meant in terms of delivery, not actual words. If her delivery was aggressive then her words would seem that much more aggressive as well.
Her delivery was what I meant when I said it was aggressive.

Dorit doesn't speak aggressively to people.
She was pretty aggressive with Teddi at PK's party when she called Teddi a "psycho."

Just now, Neurochick said:Just because Dorinda's husband died doesn't mean she has the right to be a nasty person.
I'm not excusing Dorinda's drunken behavior. Bethany's comment wasn't about this specific instance of Dorinda getting drunk and screaming at someone; it was a statement that they generally let Dorinda talk at length about Richard, but get annoyed when Sonja talks about her ex-husband. I'm just saying that someone needing to talk about a loved one who has passed away is understandable.

"I don't know why we let Dorinda get away with it."
Um... maybe because her husband died and it's the empathetic thing to do? I get that divorce is like "a death" but death is death. It's final. Dorinda loved Richard and he's gone from this Earth.

Kyle: "Dorit, it's on camera!"
Dorit: "Nice try, Kyle."
One day a text book is going to be written about Dorit, if a psychologist is ever brave enough to make a case study of her.

I'm so tired of Dorit and her gaslighting of Teddi. This is ridiculous.

Yes! Until I read an AMC wiki, I didn't even know Mike Roy had come back from the dead.
It's too bad he was only back for a few months. The adventures they could have had.

WTF just happened? One minute they're all just sitting there and the next, cold as ice, Erika says "Pretend amnesia" as if that allegation had just been made. Did I miss something?

I remember an interview with whoever the writer was back then, explaining that originally they really were doing Erica/Jack, but they saw the audience was rooting for Dimitri instead, so they changed direction.
Really? I'm currently in the middle of rewatching 1994 and I find that surprising because I can't imagine who they would have paired Dimitri with if Dimitri/Erica weren't endgame. The only non-Erica women that he's really been interacting with in this period are Laurel, who is clearly slated for a pairing with Trevor so there wasn't going to be a Dimitri/Erica and Jack/Laurel spouse swap; Kendall, which would have been gross given that Sarah Michelle Gellar was only 17 (though playing 24 because AMC realized too late that viewers would actually do the math) and even her pairing with Rudolph Martin's Anton (he was 27 at the time) was kind of pushing it; Maria, which would be a non-starter since she and Edmund are still being pushed as an ideal pairing; and Corvina, a non-contract player.
Maybe they would have put him with Gloria, whose marriage to Adam has just imploded because of his faked kidnapping, or with Brooke, currently without a love interest or a storyline.

I agree. This is the best housewives cast ever put together.
It's like we're constantly watching seven feuding sisters at a family reunion.
Carole is the oldest sister who left her hometown, went to college, got an important job, so she thinks she's better than her sisters.
Ramona is the sister who married (shotgun style) the high school quarterback whose family owns a successful supermarket chain and so thinks she's better than her sisters.
Luann is the parents' favorite because she presents well, got good grades, and married the "safe" boyfriend. She's also fucked all of her sisters' men at some point and so, because of this glorious feat, she thinks she's better than her sisters.
Sonja is the sister who peaked in high school in every way possible. She's now living back in the parents' house and acting as their caretaker. She knows she's getting the family house and 1998 Ford Explorer in the will, and so thinks she better than her sisters.
Tinsley is the baby of the family. Although she's immature, she's mostly harmless. Everyone works to not upset her because they don't want to deal with fall out. Since everyone is nice to her 24/7, she thinks she's better than her sisters.
Bethenny was adopted at age 4. She refuses to ask for or take anyone's advice or help. She spends most her time on her phone because fuck you Carole she's got an important job too! She doesn't share DNA with any of these wackos, so she thinks she's better than her sisters
Dorinda is the problem child. She no longer remembers how many times she's been arrested and is always begging for bail money. Even though she is always in trouble and no one can stand her, she, unlike the others, is always supportive and comes through for her family, so she thinks she's better than her sisters.
I very much want to read the novelized version of this premise.

I'm rewatching tonights episode and I call bs on Dorit's story about her family. She said some of them were sent to concentration camps in Siberia. Sorry but Siberia is a part of Russia and Russia was fighting the Germans during the war. Where is there a concentration camp in Siberia?
Maybe she meant the Gulag?

Flowers die, a TV once hung up (in seven minutes. Seven. Minutes) lasts forever.
Seriously Scheana, when the girl who is sitting there sucking on a literal baby bottle has greater insight into your relationship than you do, there is a problem.

Inspired by a conversation/argument with a friend, my personal ranking of the many love interests of the one and only Ms. Kane*:
1. Dimitri Marick - I started watching the show in 1994 and always liked Erica with Dimitri (well, until he slept with Maria, then it was kind of ruined). I've recently been watching what I can find of the 80s and 90s and have finally seen the beginning of this relationship and it's reconfirmed how much I like them as a couple. They're so glamorous and dramatic together.
2. Jack Montgomery (1989-91) - the first go-round of Erica and Jack was so sexy and fun that it's easy to understand why the show kept returning to the well.
3. Adam Chandler - not a love match, but Susan Lucci and David Canary were gold together. Their second marriage was greatly entertaining, even though it feels like it came about as a back up plan after the actor who was playing Charlie was let go.
4. David Hayward - I've heard that they were broken up because TPTB wanted Erica to be single while playing out Bianca's coming out story. I wish they'd gotten them back together rather than putting David with Dixie.
5. Mike Roy - I haven't been able to see any of their relationship in the 80s, but I enjoyed their rapport when he returned briefly in the late 90s.
6. Jack Montgomery (2003-2006) - I have a great fondness for this period of their relationship, if only for the family scenes that also included Bianca, Kendall, Greenlee, and Reggie.
7. Jeremy Hunter - this is just such a classic, OTT soap opera relationship. Every time I think of Erica stuck on the collapsing fire escape while Jeremy swings towards her in slow motion, or Erica getting onto the ladder of the helicopter, it just puts a smile on my face.
8. Travis Montgomery - Lucci and Larkin Malloy had good chemistry, but he could be such an ass. You got Barbara pregnant, dude. You don't get to be sanctimonious about Erica's fling with Jack.
9. Jack Montgomery (1998) - their brief reunion, broken up when Erica had closure sex (or whatever you want to call it) with Mike Roy.
10. Charlie Brent - the relationship never got far off the ground and the actor was there and gone in a flash, but I can see why the show gave it a try since it played into so much history.
11. Chris Stamp - I never cared for Chris or really understood why Erica was with him other than the fact that he was played by Jack Scalia.
12. Jeff Martin (2006 version) - blah. We all knew it was coming when they brought Jeff back to town, but it felt so forced and it was part of that terrible abortion retcon.
13. Jack Montgomery (1994) - less a relationship than a straight up plot device that functioned to break up Jack and Laurel and delay Erica and Dimitri's reunion.
14. [Literally anyone]
15. Ryan Lavery - what even was this? This was about the time I stopped watching the show.
* I've never seen Erica's relationships with Chuck Tyler, Phil Brent, Nick Davis, original Jeff Martin, Jason Maxwell, Tom Cudahy, Brandon Kingsley, Kent Bogard.

Weirdly, that was one of my favorite touches. Probably because one of the things I best remember from the original series is the exchange, "Your daughter barks." "My whole family barks."

Gotta hand it to the ladies: I would never be able to sit through a documentary like that. Just watching the bits from the show was almost more than I could handle.

I just looked up his age and he was born in 1957, which makes him only 60. He has an easy life and I’m sure the best medical care. It could be the dogs death but it seems like he was miserable even before that.
That's a different Ken Todd. Lisa's Ken Todd is 71 and has a son from his first marriage who was born in 1966.

S31.E39: Don't Scream (Kristopher Ertmann/Tiffany Mead)
in 48 Hours
What stuns me is that he thought he'd get away with it even though he made her call 911. I get that he did it so that she would be recorded saying that she attempted suicide, but seriously. It doesn't at any point occur to him that his wife calling 911 with blood gushing out of her throat is going to seem a bit suspicious when he's also right there, perfectly capable of calling himself? And this is to say nothing of her having to drive herself, steering with one hand while putting pressure to the wound with the other. Talk about red flags all over the place.
