I actually didn’t notice this in the live viewing or Paley scnreening, but the episode begins with “A CBS Studios and P&G Studios Production”

Nicole is the first-born prodigy who was expected to over-achieve and be the best at everything. Dani is the screw-up who was babied her entire life and never felt the need to be accountable for anything in her life.

Anita too!

I was going to say the 1951 premiere of Search for Tomorrow, but this works just as well!

Exactly why I think she’ll be polarizing - Some will see her this way, while others will think she’s totally justified.

True, I guess the press version CBS gave SheKnows the exclusive to. Honestly, I wonder why they gave them any exclusive as I’ve never seen them have an exclusive before, lol

Told y’all the opening was different and featured more cast members than the one leaked online last week! Spin-off locale! Haha, just wishful thinking!

Ha, no problem! Pop music and comics are my other niche passion points along with the soaps!

@Errol - ‘Best of My Love’ is a song by girl-group The Emotions, not The Temptations!

That’s been the standard P&G logo for a long time. I’m not sure if the significance of the candle light - could be a GL reference, but someone at P&G will need to clarify! It’s nice to see a P&G logo after a soap after all this time. It’s not the classic PGP logo, but it’s a spiritual successor.

They should just ask Lynn Herring to play Vanessa’s mother eventually, lol

She’s giving Tori Spelling vibes, lol

They are multiple dimensions at play because Dani isn’t presented as totally sympathetic either. She’s a bad mother (regarding Chelsea) and is totally delusional about the state of her marriage before Haley entered the picture.

Very wise to include Tachina, Justin, and Shamar on this - all proud of their soap roots.

It’s a new graphic. A more colorized version of this graphic was flashed at the end of the episode. The candle could be a GL reference, but I can’t confirm that.

Makes sense and it’s her baby so she would want to set the tone well before anyone else helps out. It’s also the benefit of her being in the industry so long and having experience in every soap writing position - scripts, editor, breakdowns, and as a HW.

CBS doesn’t do that for any show, so I wasn’t expecting it. Let’s see if we get it on Paramount+.

Love the look Anita gave Haley at the end, lol.

That nurses station set in the hospital is the weakest set so far in this pilot. It’s like a pale version of the 90ms GH nurses station set.

ETA - wrong thread as well.

And, Of course, this broadcast is filled with P&G product commercials, haha. What a flashback experience.

Vanessa gives me major Lucy Coe vibes, as much as Haley gives me major Brooke Logan vibes. Fitting, I guess, since GH and B&B were the soaps MVJ spent the most time on before this.

Dani is so delusional - she misses the facade of her marriage, a marriage that never worked before Haley ever entered the picture anyway.

Very Bill Bell.
