Deanna's arrival was terrific and she seems to be cast well. I agree that it was like a slap in the face and then poof she's gone. The show tends to do that though. Hype a character, bam(!), then off he/she goes. Kial, for another example.
Bill's scenes with Anita and Kat were making me like him again and I usually don't. Well done.
I'm already over the Kial/Nicole/Carlton thing. Nicole talks about the men being juvenile, but I find it juvenile to be playing to men against each other like she is. Nicole isn't any better. Yes, Nicole has every right to date two men at the same time, but she's written like she enjoys them battling over her. So don't then call them out for being juvenile.
I agree that the Bill/Hayley story should have come to a climax in St. Bart's ala Janice poising Mac on Another World and her battle with Rachel. Bill and Hayley could have escaped for a week of fun. After they leave, more detailed results come in on Bill's blood work that shows a trace of poisoning (though Randy insists there wouldn't be. He isn't necessarily the sharpest though.). Madison discovers it and leaves the chart out in front of Dani somehow which, of course, leads to Dani being nosy and reading the results. She starts putting two-and-two together, Bill's shakes, the stroke, the "sudden recovery" and realizes it's Hayley's doing. She rushes out to go warn Bill and is overheard by Randy, who then drags Lynette with him, as they all rush to St. Bart's to warn Bill and Hayley the jig is up. There are confrontations. Someone dies. Bill returns behind the gates grateful to Dani causing more problems for Andre.
I've been a fan of Leslie from the first week when she was revealed as the "evil" Sheila character arc, but even I agree the past couple weeks have been obnoxious. I no longer find her funny at times. I just find her annoying and not wanting to listen to her anymore. I hope they tone it down soon!
