P&G is fully involved and supportive of this soap. Daphnee was invited to and spoke at the TIME Woman of the Year Gala at P&G’s behest. https://www.instagram.com/share/BAIy2TbFQA

That’s right girl, flip that freshly French silk pressed hair!

We’ve surpassed the GH monthly thread, and BTG is live for just one week in February, lol

Leslie wants that assistant’s job to get close to Ted and work her way into his life to seduce him. Fatal Attraction!

Dani said that in the first episode - she overlooked his other affairs because they were kept away and didn’t happen under her nose with someone she trusted (like Haley).

She just has boring/bland white girl screen presence and energy like Willow and Sasha on GH.

Leslie in a few months:

Jen Jacob may have been decent in other roles, but she lacks charisma and screen presence. That’s partly what makes her scenes tough to watch. Hoping she improves over time, but if she doesn’t, time to recast or write this character and her poorly acted boyfriend out! The Andre actor may be green as well, but he does have a lot more going for him when it comes to charm and charisma.

I’m getting more of a fatal attraction vibe from Leslie. She’s using Eva and her friendship with Ashley to worm her way into Dr. Ted’s family and inner circle. Ashley’s mother apparently worked for the Dupree’s and she grew up around them and has their respect as well. Leslie could have more of a history with Ted and his family though, we’ll see. But I think, ultimately, she’ll seduce him, then become obsessed with him, and try to steal Nicole’s life.

Not only that - his actual start was in the P&G writers program in the late 90’s just before he landed on Passions. He always wanted to be a soap writer it seems.

I hope the next episode doesn’t end with another public outburst from Dani.

Is Leslie gonna go all Glen Close in Fatal Attraction?

This endorsement means a lot to MVJ. Liz’s rape on GH was the story MVJ was most proud of contributing to and writing key scene for. She and Rebecca Herbst became close IRL through this story, and MVJ has said she used it as therapy to help her heal from her own rape.

I say send their asses to boarding school abroad for a long time.

MVJ is definitely using her years of writing for Brooke Logan as a resource here!

The thing with Haley is they’re not writing her as intentionally malicious, she’s being written as more naive.

She really is, lol

This is why it’s so important to let new soaps develop and get off the ground. There’s lot of kinks to be worked out when you’re starting up and have to do things at the pace the daytime soaps do. A lot of these newbie kinks will be worked out over time.

Ms. Tunie is amazing here and this is proof why she was needed to lead this ensemble:

I won’t be able to watch live today, so looking forward to everyone’s thoughts!

I often get a very “theatre kid” in high school vibe from her. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but she can be very showy as an actress.

Dani is defined by her ex-husband’s affair(s) right now. I’m waiting for that to settle to see what type of character she really is. KM is not the most subtle actor (she wasn’t in any of her previous roles either). She can be very surface level and I am going to need to see her play more layers eventually.

At least the GH stars that MVJ wrote for have shown their support like Laura Weight and Lisa Locicero.
