Will the new season ofThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills become the best soap opera on TV?

Well, we are about to find out when Daytime Emmy winner, Eileen Davidson of The Young and the Restless and Days of our Lives, and former DAYS star Lisa Rinna make their debut with the cast of the other “Bev Hils” elite gals which include: Yolanda Foster, Brandi Glanville, Kim Richards, Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump! It all begins tonight, November 18th beginning at 9PMET/8PMCST only on Bravo!

And for those who need a catch-up, here is where we are at from the end of last season:  After a sudden and secret departure from Puerto Rico at the end of last season, Lisa Vanderpump is still wary of her formerly close friends, but is beginning to reconnect with Yolanda and Kyle. She has no interest in making amends with Brandi, who is also struggling to move past her own hurt. The ladies all come face-to-face at Kyle’s annual White Party and the over-the-top event is bigger and better than ever now that Mauricio’s real estate agency is selling houses upwards of $50 million. The social event of the season brings original Beverly Hills housewives Adrienne Maloof, Camille Grammer and Taylor Armstrong back together. As unresolved issues come to the surface, Brandi is faced with making amends with both Lisa and Adrienne at the same event.   So just how will Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson figure into all of this?

Watch the trailer from the new season of RHOBH after the jump, and then let us know if you will be watching Eileen and Lisa tonight?

I’ve never watched a “Housewives” show before, but will give this a shot tonite.

Will NOT be watching this immature cess pool.

I will watch whatever Eileen is in. I’ll give it a shot too.

that trailer was very deceiving..
The drunk bitches were not slapping each other or berating their husbands and they were not in their sluttly gear out drinking and fighting and stabbling each other in the back ..
I feel sorry for , Eileen..

Now to keep up she will need a ton of botox, boob and butt job and lots of hair extensions.. lol

I will check it out but I’m afraid it has to dvr sons of anarchy is on 3 left for its final ride going to really miss that show I also watch Chicago fire tonight .

SOA, that made me think of Katey..
Married with Children / Peggy Bundy-
Peggy is the perfect stereotype of a The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fan ..
LOL

I didn’t see Eileen last night but Lisa Rinna was great. She has such moxie, such confidence. Beverly Hills Housewives was the best franchise for several years, last year it was not as good. I think Brandi ruined last year and hope she is moved to the sidelines.
I encourage soap fans to watch, it is easy to get hooked.

I’m watching for Lisa Rinna

Eileen Davidson is a plus

I will never watch a housewives show… except for this one… and thats only for these two

i’m interested in the how will these two co’mingle, cohabitate, spar, mingle, frontline, their gobetween

these two ladies need to shove all else aside and OWN

LOL

it’s a hoot

laugh out loud

brain freeze feast

the bottom line… these ladies need to make a living… and they have the resume to shelve… top of the line… top shelve… bring themselves

LOL

I love Eileen and Lisa

Days perseveres

Well, there’s an hour of my life I’ll never get back. I’ve never seen any of the other Housewives of whatever, and wasn’t sure what to expect, but that will be the first and last time I do. Eileen (who was the only reason I tuned in) was not on the show, and the entire hour was spent on these airhead women talking about each other behind their backs. I couldn’t tell any of them apart, they all had the same superficial look. Lisa Rinna was on for a short time, but she seemed to be hamming it up for the camera the entire time and not the least little bit natural, she was just as phoney as the others. I kept waiting for something to actually happen, but after an hour, nothing did except a party that screamed conspicuous consumption. Not my cup of tea at all.

How was it? I may watch on demand just to see Eileen. I still wonder why she’s doing it. They must be paying her a ton of money (I hope).

Out of all the Housewive’s shows, I like this one the best, however, last evening I really watched it to see Eileen Davidson. I have been an Ashley Abbott fan since the early 80s. I think it stinks that BRAVO did not show Eileen in the premier episode. What’s worse, they neglected to mention this prior to last evening. I was very disappointed! Now I’m hearing that she won’t be on the show until the 3rd show of the season and I had to do some fierce googling to find that out! Why isn’t BRAVO being more forthcoming? It would stand to reason that Eileen is stretched thin between DOOL and Y and R but they should have told us!!! I’m angry and not even sure I am going to watch the rest of the season. Lastly, send that drunken Taylor away for good! UGH!

Maybe I won’t watch then if Eileen isn’t on the premiere. Have never watched any of the housewife shows. It’s all composed.

I have to laugh at some of the comments on here.

I’ve been watching soaps since the mid 70’s and have listened to non soap watchers trash soaps the way a lot of you trash the Housewives shows.

Sorry to tell you all…they really are no better than each other.

It’s entertainment folks. Get off you high horses. Soaps are still making bad names for themselves when they get clips on the Soup. It is what it is.

Dear Pat, Well, I had to laugh when I read your comment.
You say the reality housewife show is no worse than soaps?
Well, the former genre professes to be real but is really staged and yet, there are no writers because, see? It’s a “reality” show. (wink, wink). The latter genre does have writers and makes no pretense to be real–soaps are clearly fiction.
Good soap writing has elements of greatness in it. To this day, you can illicit a tear from an AMC watcher by mentioning Jenny’s death or garner the same reaction from a OLTL by mentioning Megan’s death. GH? That would be BJ’s heart transplant storyline, of course. Romanticism was elevated to great heights with the marriage of Nina and Cliff and of course, Luke and Laura’s wedding. With these aforementioned stories, there were timeless elements of greatness which viewers found inspiring. In five years will anyone remember the insane cat fight between two housewives? No, and moreover, I feel this reality housewife franchise sets women back by showcasing and rewarding abhorrent behavior. It seems the smuttier, the raunchier, the meaner and the most classless prevail and none of these ahem, “ladies,” ever seem to pick a book or much less a newspaper.
At least soaps know they inhabit the land of fiction and at least they have an inherent sense of humility.
I think trashy reality shows such as the housewife franchise signal the end of civility and good manners.

Totally agree. Great post!

I’m a former soap watcher, just one soap off And on but I stopped watching four of five years ago. I was bored to death with the same old stories told in ever increasing drab fashion. Too many scenes shot in hospital corridors, actors wearing drab clothes, any sense of glamour ended with budget cuts. I loved the first few seasons of Housewives of BH , the cast was terrific. Scenes shot in Malibu, Beverly Hills, Paris, Hawaii, no expense was spared. Last season things got old and I felt Brandi ruined the show. I’m hoping for a great season with Lisa Rinna, Eileen and the cast minus Brandi.
I think soap fans know reality shows hastened the death of their soaps and therefore they resent reality TV. I say give this show a chance. You will get hooked and love it.
And the Atlanta housewives are a hoot, they are currently airing a new season as well.

Well I watched, but would like a refund! Eileen was on for less than one minute.

I have never watched any of the REAL WIVES, but I taped it to see Eileen…obviously disappointed as she was not even featured. The show does not interest me at all. As the season opener, I expected more content…. it was worse than I expected. I still cannot believe Eileen even greed to do this awful show??! Very much a he step down….

LIsa Rinna will do anything to get her face on tv and make a few dollars! In fact given the shows she has recently done, it’s a step up…. for her. She is a terrible actress.

Watching the show and comparing it to our daytime shows, merely for entertainment value alone, has reinforced my initial feeling that these shows are just a waste of time. I’ll save my DVR space….sorry Eilleen…I love you but can’t watch this mindless garbage… even for you! See you on Y&R…

Are you sure this show is not fictional? I have never watched any of the Real Housewives franchisee shows, including RHOBH. After reading your “bring you up to date” section of this article I decided to keep my never watched record intact. I get enough drama on Days of Our Lives! But I do see why Eileen and Lisa were brought in. The franchisee wanted veteran soap stars to show the other ladies how it is done! Too much for me, though! Wish Eileen and Lisa well.

Days Of Our Lives

Stephen Schnetzer Talks On His Return to Days of our Lives and Working with Susan Seaforth Hayes In Emotional Episodes

Who says you can’t go home again? In the case of Another World favorite, Stephen Schnetzer (ex-Cass Winthrop), he has proven that it is true, and you can go back to your soap roots and where it all started for you.

Last week on April 11th, Schnetzer, along with several other key returns were on set at Days of our Lives taping all-new episodes of the Peacock streaming soap opera, centering on the funeral of Doug Williams (the late Bill Hayes), and as part of the iconic soap opera’s 15,000th episode.

Stephen is reprising his first daytime role as Steve Olson, the brother of Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes). The last time Schnetzer appeared on a DAYS set was during his one and only run on the show from 1978 to 1980. Clearly, viewers will be in for some very emotional scenes when Steve returns to Salem to be there for his sister, Julie in her time of need. In real-life, Susan has been going through her own grief, having just lost Bill back on January 12th at the age of 98.

Michael Fairman TV caught up with Stephen during the 15K episode celebration ceremony, and during a break from taping the gut-wrenching funeral scenes, to get his thoughts on being part of these highly-anticipated moments that will air later this year in December. Here’s what he shared with us below.

What has this been like for you to work with Susan Seaforth Hayes after all of these years?

STEPHEN: She’s a dream and she’s so bright. We ran lines yesterday and we ended up just visiting for about 45 minutes and just catching up and telling tales about each other’s career. She even dropped off the autobiography that she and Bill did. And being back here at DAYS, every time I turn a corner, there’s another familiar face. When I was on the show 40 more years ago, a bunch of the guys, played softball on a team together. This is really a trip down memory lane as I knew it would be.

Photo: JPI

Taping Doug’s funeral must be a hard day for Susan. Are you checking in with her to help hold her up through this?

STEPHEN: I am and I’m checking in with Amy Shaughnessy (Susan’s assistant), and she’s holding her up more than anybody. We’re there for each other.

There will obviously be some major hankie-inducing moments when Steve comes back to Salem to console his sister.

STEPHEN: Oh, wait till you see it in December. It’s going to be great.

Were you surprised you got this call to come back to the show decades later?

STEPHEN: It was out of the blue! I was completely surprised. They should have called me decades ago! That’s what surprised me. When Another World went down, I thought I’d land somewhere else and it never happened. That was more of a surprise.

Photo: JPI

Cass is such an identifiable character for you. As well, you and Linda Dano (ex-Felicia Gallant) are so synonymous together as best friends Cass and Felicia from Another World. When fans heard you were reprising your role as Steve Olson on DAYS, they are now hoping there will be more of you on the show to come.

STEPHEN: Steven Olson is a real “Cassian “character. I cut my teeth on Steve Olson and that’s how Cass was introduced. He was kind of a roguish charmer. And then when the character stuck for Another World, they rehabilitated me, and turned me into one of the shows heroes. And that’s what would’ve happened if I stayed as Steve Olson probably. So, Steve is the ‘pre-Cass’, Cass.

Photo: JPI

As the story goes, you originally decided to leave Days of our Lives?

STEPHEN: I was never on contract. I was doing a day and a half a week and I got a Broadway play directed by Franco Zeffirelli starring Joan Plowright and Frank Finlay. I was able to it as I didn’t have to break a contract or anything. I cut loose and went back to New York for that.

How well did you get to know Bill Hayes during your first time around on DAYS?

STEPHEN: My first episode was with Bill and Susan, as her long lost brother coming into Salem. They were so good to me. They were so kind. I had been doing eight years of classical repertory theater, never been in front of a camera. I tell everybody, it took me longer than any other actor I’ve ever seen to get comfortable in front of a camera. And they were very supportive at that time in my career. Coming back to honor Bill now in 2024, and to be see Susan, I am just so happy to be here.

Looking forward to seeing the scenes between Stephen and Susan Seaforth Hayes come December and Doug’s funeral and surrounding episodes? Do you hope that DAYS might bring the character of Steve Olson back for a longer stay? Comment below.
