We’ll see how it plays out over time, but my feeling is while they’re respecting the typical soap tropes, they are also intentional about deviating from them as well I feel that way about MVJ too. After years of writing for mostly white characters on GH and B&B, it must be refreshing for her to write for characters from her own community and different from what she was told was the norm on those other soaps.

The Paley Center panel is back up:

And then a few minutes later, Bill torched her ass when she came begging, lol

I’m ready for Dani to be on the backburner for an episode or two. She’s an exhausting character to be on 5 days a week with all of her high strung antics.

Out of all the first week of soaps that I saw in real time (The City, Port Charles, Sunset Beach, and Passions), this has been by far the best launch week of a daytime soap I’ve been alive to see.

ETA - wrong chain

Dani is now attempting murder - this trick deserved to get played by Bill and Haley.

So Eva is Ted’s daughter.

LESLIE

“Unhinged ex” - that’s exactly who you are, Dani. Nicole is the only one that’s real with Dani. Look at Haley’s breasts popping out of her wedding dress.

Oh, Bill threatening the robot grandson

Imma need my girl Leslie to sneak into this wedding and start chowing down on the food Maxine Shaw style.

I’m officially Team Haley. I am tired of everyone babying Dani as if she’s not a grown ass woman who is her own worst enemy.

It’s like they already knew how Ashley would be viewed lol

Bill just owned Dani’s ass, lol

Wrong thread

Oh, Dani referred to Bill as the “fixed” meaning she’s a hell of a lot more messier and as responsible for that marriage crumbling.

Dani looks like a damn doormat begging this man to take her back.

Haley is a sympathetic character, not just a cheating homewrecker. MVJ is not writing her as malicious, but remorseful and naive.
