Just finished episode #2!
It definitely seems like the show is finding it's footing, beat by beat! It will be interesting to see how the week concludes.
Ashley and Andre definitely have better chemistry then her and Derek, and I felt more spark with Ashley today then on yesterday's show.
Nicole not having anytime for Haley was hilarious, her and Bill are definitely a piece of work. I wouldn't want to cross Vernon or Anita if I was Bill. It's also refreshing that the family seems to hold the man accountable for the affair which is something you don't see ever on say B&B. It's gonna be quite the showdown tomorrow with Dani and Bill based on the ending! LOL
Eva and her mother, they are social climbers and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do! I guess Eva's mother had a past with Nicole's husband? gotta have the folk from the wrong side of the tracks, if that's what they are?
I thought Martin and Smitty were cute. A kiss would have been nice, but I do think it was intentional they didn't show too much affection...I'm looking forward to seeing their kids too.
I'm in agreement with everyone that some of the character's look way too young to be parents to 20 or 30 somethings, but at the same time, I feel like this is a throwback to B&B and even Passions where most of the actors playing the parents would be way too young to have kids at certain ages. I know Mike Manning is 37, and I'm assuming the actor that plays Martin is around that age or a little younger. The actor playing their son is 20 IRL I think, so it kind of gives me flashbacks to Passions when you had a 37/38 year Eva Tamargo play a mom to 5 grown kids, two of them at least pushing 30 and the others playing teens. Although at the same time I think people tend to look younger these days too so that doesn't help.
Who were the two assistants of Nicole who had that conversation together? are they contract players, the older one looked like Bessie from the first episode? I love even the recurring/dayplayers are getting good airtime!
