More Monday Morning: Johnny Drama’s $1.5 Million Condo

The real estate industry had to be overjoyed with the subplot in HBO’s ‘Entourage’ last night. It starts when the dim-witted but loveable Johnny ‘Drama’ Chase puts down a lowball offer for a Beverly Hills condo ($950,000 for a 2-bedroom listed at $1.4 million), declaring ‘It’s a buyer’s market!’ Hillarity ensues, as the listing agent doesn’t budge and ‘Drama’ bids higher and higher, eventually paying $1.5 million for the condo.

It’s a comedy, but in all seriousness, we think these HBO shows tend to have good insights into the culture (Remember all the trouble Carmella had selling her spec house on ‘The Sopranos’?) Given his spotty employment history and the iffy future of his current job (he co-stars in a TV show that’s been on for a week), it’s a good bet ‘Drama’ will had a hard time paying the mortgage on the new condo. Could there be a foreclosure in ‘Drama’s’ future? That would be rich.
