Overall, Season 28 was a rather uneven season. It started off with a bang (Harris had just become the Dem candidate), and is going out on a fizzle. The highlight of the season - and for Election 2024 - is when Sunny became the 'October Surprise' for Harris. Yes, that fateful October day when Sunny asked 'the question' which torpedoed Harris' campaign (and any chance of winning the election). The Trump campaign had a field day with that, and featured Sunny's close-up in his campaign ads. Sunny, you handed him the election on a silver platter. MAGA, I'm sure, thanks you.
For days after the election, the women sat shiva, dressed in black with mournful looks - especially Sunny. It became a chore to watch the show for the final weeks before Christmas vacation. The new year came, they returned and the show drags on and on and on.
Over the Christmas break Sunny's husband was sued by the Feds for Medical insurance fraud, on behalf of the insurance company American Transit, which no one discussed at Hot Topics. One thing Sunny taught us with the Feds in the Trump trials - when the Feds bring suits against you, they are 99.99% foolproof and the Feds are going to win.
So the six women have their contracts up for renewal this summer. Will they all return ? Joy will be 83 soon after the new season starts. She doesn't seem as mobile as she once was (Sara usually walks out with her, holding her arm, and helping her to her seat). It will be interesting to see if she returns. Will Alyssa hang on, or move permanently to CNN where she shines brighter at their political round tables ? Will Sunny return, or take time off to 'be with her husband' while he figures out his legal troubles ? Will Whoopi finally walk like she has promised to at the end of other contracts ? Time will tell.
