Mob Wives: Carla and Love Make Peace?

Carla comes face-to-face with Love


Who knows what is going on this season? After seeing the Super Trailer for Season 6, it's anyone's guess. I didn't think bringing Love back was an option and yet from the snippets we have seen for the promo, there she is face to face with Carla at the Mermaid Parade in Brooklyn. This was back in June 2015. Did this little face-to-face encounter come about by chance or by production company design?

They were all at the parade

Last time we saw Love and Carla together was at the end of season three at Drita's party. This is straight out of the Season 3 Finale blog I wrote in April, 2013 to refresh your memory:

Love says she demands and expects respect and she will get it one way or another. Karen tells Love if she needs to talk to Carla, then just talk, no violence. Karen then tells Carla that Love wants to talk to her. Love is trying to stay calm. Ramona says Karen needs to be alert if Love is near Carla. The three of them, Love, Karen and Carla, go off to a corner to talk. Carla and Love sit down. Karen is right there, beside them. Love has her cell phone out. Carla wants to know why Karen is there. Love says she is there “to keep me from knocking your teeth down your throat.” Love jumps up and lunges at Carla and grabs her hair. There is complete confusion and chaos. A mob gathers trying to break up the fight. Carla trusts no one. Drita is upset her party turned into a zoo. Karen is upset and wants to talk to Carla. She feels bad because it looks like she set her up. Carla feels set up. Carla’s hand is bleeding and Ramona tries to get close enough to help. Carla wants everyone to leave her alone. Karen is mad at Love for not even hearing Carla out. Karen tells Drita what happened and says she was standing right there to prevent any attack, but Love hit her. Carla is riled up and Renee feels bad for her. She says Carla is alone in a pack of wolves.

Karen needs to find Love to see if she is okay and what triggered her so quick. Karen goes out to the car and tells Love it looks like she set Carla up. Karen said she gave her word there would be no violence. Karen can’t calm Love down. Karen feels Love was wrong for hitting Carla so quickly. Drita is pissed with Love, she wanted them to just talk and air out their differences. Carla tells them what Love said about Karen being there to stop them from fighting. Karen is upset that she gave her word and Love went against it. Both Drita and Karen know it all looks like a set up. Love tells Karen all the reasons she is mad and Karen understands, but doesn’t like that it all happened so fast. Karen tells Carla that she didn’t set her up. Carla says she is done with Love. Drita says it doesn’t look good on Love’s part, she waited for Big Ang and Drita to leave to attack Carla.

All of season three was leading up to this confrontation. Love heard that Carla was talking about her behind her back and had had enough.  So, how did these two manage to get past their differences to even be on the same set filming together for Season 6? One would think there had to be a sitdown of some kind to iron out their issues. That would make for a very interesting scene!  And just between you and me, a source recently told me that the two of them are on speaking terms today.

Can't wait to see how this situation develops in Season 6 between these two ladies. Do they make up and move on? What do you think?

Mob Wives: Our Interview with Marissa Jade

A new Mafia Princess

I just got off the phone with the beautiful Marissa Jade, one of the new cast members to join the cast of Mob Wives for Season 6.  Here's what she had to say . . . 

Hi Marissa, this is Chiara from M.O.B Wives Blospot.

Hi

I just want to thank you for taking the time to talk to me. Fans are very excited about Season 6 and the "new" mob wives. Can you tell me how did it come about that you were cast for the show?

My boyfriend's cousin's wife is close to all the girls on the show. They have known each other for years. One day she said to them, I know someone who would be great for the show, and they introduced me to Jennifer Graziano.

Can you tell us exactly what your mob ties or connections are?

My boyfriend is in the lifestyle. He is close to Renee's family. He also grew up with Lee D'Avanzo and they are long time friends. I have always been around the lifestyle, but my affiliation is through my boyfriend.

We can see that everyone in the cast has issues with someone. You seem to have problems with Drita and Brittany. What if anything can you tell us about that?

I never had any intentions of being on the outs with anyone. I came into this season giving everyone a fair shot. But, if you show a side of yourself that is questionable, it shows me I can't trust you. I have no time for nonsense and two-faced people.

We can see you don't have time for much, you seem very busy in your career modeling, acting and even the comic, "Destiny: Queen of Thieves."

Yes I do have a lot on my plate. I book my modeling gigs through agencies and I do a lot of promotional events for the comic where I mingle with fans. I am very excited that the comic is going to be made into a live action movie in 2016 and I will be playing the lead character. 

Is there anything you can tell us about your filming experience with Mob Wives and the drama?

I didn't expect anything less from being on the show.  I experienced a lot of this type of drama as a teenager, but I didn't expect to relive it with mature women.  I am focused on my life and career and I don't have time for bullsh*t.

Wonder what she was saying!


What surprised you the most about season 6?

Nothing surprised me. The ones I thought would be troublemakers, turned out to be trouble makers. But, I enjoyed myself and 99% of the time I had fun and laughs.

Can you give us any hints about what we can expect to see? I have to ask because fans want to know and Jennifer tells us nothing.

(laughs) Expect to be entertained. You can expect that the truth and people's true colors will come out this season.

Well thank you for your time and I hope you have a Happy New Year.

Thank you, Happy Holidays.

Marissa is very pleasant and comes across as a down to earth, no nonsense, straight shooter.  Even on her social media you get the sense of how focused she is on her career. I think she is going to bring a lot to the table in Season 6. 

Don't forget the Season Premiere is January 13th at 8 PM and will be 2 hours long!

Mob Wives: Is Season 6 Really The End???

Fight!


Yesterday we were told that season 6 would be the best and last season for Mob Wives. That would make watching season 6 bittersweet. With each episode we will be getting closer and closer to the end of show and a group of women we have grown to love. And while I was quietly crying in my Prosecco wine and wiping away my tears, I started to notice a little spark of hope in the tweets. Was it my imagination and wishful thinking?  No, I don't think so. We may not have to say good bye. Just check out these tweets and see what you think!


Drita had a few tweets saying "last season ON VH1"


Carla was very reassuring


Jennifer promises more of the ladies!


And Karen is very optimistic!






Are these tweets "hints" of things to come?  Is there something in the works to keep the show on the air, but on a different network? Are they revamping the style of the show and focusing on their businesses?  They often say, when one door closes another one opens. Let's hope we see the ladies walking through that new door and back into our living rooms after season 6.  Until then, stay tuned!

Mob Wives: Season 6 Final Season?

Ang, Karen, Renee and Drita
Wonder what this scene is about?


"The Last Stand!" Looks like VH1 has made up it's mind. Mob Wives will come back for it's sixth and final season on January 13t, 2016! I don't believe it, but it's all decided and in black and white on their website and you can read all about it right HERE. Let me get myself a glass of Carla's prosecco and drown my sorrows before continuing . . .

Okay, I'm back. Season 6 appears to be going back to it's home roots in Staten Island with the original girls: Renee, Karen, Carla and Drita. They did add two new girls, Marissa and Brittany, to the mix. They are in different alliances. Marisa has teamed up with Renee, Karen and Carla. We have seen plenty of pictures and tweets supporting that. Brittany has aligned herself with Drita. Big Ang is still somewhere in the middle.

It looks like we are going to see where all the women are at this point in their lives. Maybe they will try to settle the unresolved issues between them. And hopefully, we will learn what the future holds for them.

Maybe they do all need to move on. The question is . . . are we all ready to say good-bye?  We have been there since before the show aired in April, 2011. There have been days so stressful I was ready to throw in the towel. But now that the end is near, I am not sure I am ready for this journey to end. Are you?
