I am actually okay with Dani's high and lows. It is a bit of a rollercoaster, but when she has her more down to earth moments, it makes her very likable. Dani tells Anita that Andre is so nice, but how has he been so nice? He pressured her to out this situationship which is no one's business all for what? Then today Andre says he knows what he wants, but Dani isn't sure yet. However, he had no issue keeping this situationship he wanted out there so bad quiet when Ashley showed interest. Andre wants his cake and to eat it too. I thought Anita and the family gathering was sweet. Anita is definitely the matriarch this soap needs. As for Kat and Eva, I don't know if Kat was being genuine in helping Eva. Watching it I felt it was real, but then I saw a comment on here and was like hmmm. I did find it odd that Kat just told Eva to ignore the accreditation window and to hit ignore. Similarly, I found Eva's antagonistic vibe off. It is usually Kat that triggers it from Eva...she usually isn't just outwardly nasty to Kat first. Especially talking about Kat's man like that knowing that it didn't go all too well the night before. I was surprised Anita wasn't a little more weirded out by the Dani and Andre stuff. While yes, they are consenting adults and there is nothing anyone can do about it...it is still a touch weird. If I were to find out my aunt was messing with a nephew albeit not blood related - it would still be weird at least at first. They all must have seen Andre grow up and at holidays. He was a kid while Dani was a grown woman with her own family. As Nicole said...ew. Turtlehead Ted 😃 is still not doing much for me, but the past two days have been better. Ted is also not being realistic with all the demands he is putting on Eva. Also, Kat implied that there were other assistants in house that could have easily been promoted. Why are they being delegated a little more work and helping Eva get trained in the meantime. I'm also confused about this clinic. Where is it? They are always working out of his office in the hospital. Is the clinic completely out of commission for repairs? I hope eventually there is a set for the clinic.

She's crazy. She is literally going to have sex with Andre and come into work wirh cornrows the next day. She is ridiculous.

Ashley literally just ended a long term relationship and she's out here asking Andre on a date. This woman is a mess. She was losing her mind trying to make up any reason to push Derek away just because f boy photographed her helping someone give birth on an elevator. Ma'am is in lust and she's fetishizing. I don't care...I hate her.

Now this is true f boy behavior. He pressures Dani to have this whole situationship out in the open to everyone....and for what? They don't even know what the hell they got going on. Yet, the moment Ashley asks why Nicole is mad at him and he could say loud and proud he's in a relationship with Dani...he is mute. All to still keep this avenue with boring nursey open. I'm sick 😫 Yes to the Kiki avie...no to this comment lol

Here we go...insufferable Ashley is in the biggest funk and in comes Andre aka Captain Save-A-Boring-Hoe and he says "It doesn't make you a bad person to want different things." Ashley gets her panties all wet over this like it was some deep philosophical thing and tells Andre how amazing he is and how much better she feels. Please get these losers off this soap!!!

I honestly would have preferred seeing him come in as a playboy and over time settle into this new chapter. It is a little strange that everyone talks of him being this playboy, but he now wants to play house with a woman that just got out of a near 30-year marriage with several hang ups and flaws all the while being in love with the most Type A boring snoozefest of a nurse that acts like a teenage brat. For someone who is so well traveled and says he learned so much going around the world - this is what he wants to settle down with? Like it's been super quick too. I still don't get why Andre needed this relationship with Dani to be out in the open so badly. 1) It's still early. 2) Dani is in a vulnerable place and not completely done with her marriage emotionally. 3) He just told Nicole they aren't in love but working towards that. 4) He clearly feels something for Ashley. So why the urgency? I don't care about all the dramatic exhales and scrunched up faces Andre makes...I ain't buying it.

I noticed as well that it seemed to be gone. I feel like Hayley and Shanice should have been friends already. It would have given Hayley someone to talk to at least.

Sorry, I didn't make that very clear. Yes, she didn't have an ultrasound in the hospital today. I meant maybe she has a reason to keep Bill from seeing an ultrasound. We know she showed Bill an ultrasound during her slideshow, but we honestly don't know if it is real or fake. Maybe, it could be real, but the time is off and she might be more pregnant than she is saying or something else is off about this pregnancy.

Did I miss something yesterday? We had all those men together in a scene and all we got was Martin taken away crying...did we get any insight on the plan or more details? I was surprised when today started off with Martin and Bill at the CC. Maybe they will flashback to it. Not sure what would be the point of getting them all together for very little to transpire. I agree. I just don't know what other reason she would have to lie. It is clear that she is insecure in this marriage, because everytime Dani comes around you feel it. However, faking a pregnancy to hold onto a man is dumb...especially as you said there is no reason for it. We know that at one point Hayley thought she was pregnant and then she wasn't. Maybe she saw how excited Bill was and for whatever reason faked it thinking she would be able to actually get pregnant. However, if she's 10 weeks at this point, she's not going to be able to pretend forever...somethings going to have to give. Another alternative is that she may be pregnant and there is a reason she is hiding the ultrasound. But again...why?

I have mixed feelings about the Nicole situation. Dani and Andre's relationship is truly none of her business. However, everyone has kept it from her including her sister and husband. Ted actually knew about it before the Lesile secret was exposed. I'm the type that is like if you tell me something private please understand that you are telling my partner as well. But to circle back, the fact that Dani and Andre have something going on shouldn't matter to Nicole anyway. Now what I don't understand is why Andre's thirsty ass wants to have this out in the open so damn bad. Dani is a newly single woman recovering from a loss of a long term relationship. You clearly told Nicole that the love thing isn't quite there with Dani yet. He is also thirsting over the lamest, most bland girl he knows. He don't know if he loves Dani, but he is clearly in love with Ashley. So, again why the need to have people know? Why not enjoy your little hook ups and get to know each other no strings attached. I swear Andre gets on my nerves.

Haha...literally just commented the same thing. Only thing I can assume is that Hayley is a gold digger after all.

My whole thing is why? Bill has made Hayley feel very secure in their marriage. He has been nothing but nasty to Dani, except for now when he had the stroke. Why would she feel the need to fake it? I do think she is faking it, because when she told Bill they would send an email of the ultrasound I was like uh oh.

I think the audiences' reaction to Lesile have secured the character for a while. I do agree that they need to rein her in a bit. As terrible as it is that she drove Laura off the road, it can be said that her real intent was never to hurt her but she was desperate to see her master plan play out. This is a soap. We can forgive a lot. However, if they keep going in this direction, she will definitely be a villain.

Why do you think they would go to such lengths to hide it if it were rape?

What the hell was that dialogue between Kat and Tomas...lol

BC's acting still makes me laugh at times when clearly it is not the intent. I believe it's just the cadence and tone of his voice, which isn't completely his fault. He has gotten better however and I have noticed in some scenes it is almost gone but then it slips right back in at times. When he stormed into the office, I had to laugh. NuTed looks so small standing next to all the other men. It doesn't help that he appears to be shorter and less broad than the rest, but his presence also feels small in comparison. I am also not loving his acting style. His scenes with Kat and Eva did him no favors...he paled in comparison. In the office, he did nothing for me. Bill and Dani felt like equals. Their moment together was great. I also love that Bill apologized, because he has been treating Dani like she was nothing when this woman literally gave up her career to build up his and give him a family. Then, he cheats on her throughout the marriage to finally leave her for his daughter's best friend. Hayley to me seems more like a prize for Bill than an actual wife. I don't feel an intellectual connection between them like I do with Dani and Bill. I did catch Jacob's pronunciation of rhetoric. I'm surprised no one corrected that, but honestly they were probably like just keep moving it's not that big of a deal. There was a male actor that pronounced affluent incorrectly in that week of special premiere episodes, too. As for the secret, I am excited for the reveal. I don't know why Malone is such a trigger for Martin. I am going to assume that Malone may have shot and killed someone especially after he said that he has killed people and been back on the job within days. As for the change of clothes, maybe Martin got into a fight or had blood on his clothing. Now, I don't get Joey's involvement in all this and why he is so worried about it being uncovered. As much as I assumed this had something to do with an escort/sex worker, would Martin do something like that if he were attending an event with his grandad?

I haven't watched today's episode yet, so I don't have that perspective which could chang my mind. I do keep seeing it mentioned that the reveal is something different or unexpected. A self defense murder over a robbery seems pretty on brand for a soap - I'm guessing there might be several layers there though since so many characters are involved. Honestly, the worst kept secret 😆 Whatever it is, I hope it is good. I am finally feeling some anticipation on this soap.

Could it be that Martin ordered an escort from Joey's company and this escort clearly took advantage of the fact that Martin is a known congressman? Things just went south or got dangerous? I had a feeling it could be sex work related but for no real reason at all. It just came to mind a week ago and this could be completely off. But with all the scandals in congress relating to sex work and closeted sex...I wondered if they were taking inspiration.

It's actually been mentioned a few times since the start, so not completely just pulled from thin air. Obviously, there isn't a set where we could see that play out, but there have been conversations about it. The thing with Eva is that Ted isn't even trying to start her small. He is literally dumping everything on her. I would assume he would have other office workers/receptionists take up some extra duties in the meantime while Eva settled in considering she has no experience...yet yesterday he was talking a mile a.minute and then at the end was like oh and you'll be the go between for the contractors or whatever it was...I was like excuse me?

I think I saw it more as you did. Each one was trying to get the upper hand, but both are two intertwined in each other's mess to really win. Vernon needs Bill to clean up the messes and Bill has too much dirt on his hand to pull away and feign innocence. It would be in Bill's best interest to keep these secrets buried.

Finally got to finish the episode. Cady needs to quit that accent. I feel like she's auditioning for a role on Broadway for Carousel or something. It just doesn't work. I think today was the first time I was like ok Leslie is becoming cartoonish. The way she approached Kat and Jacob was a bit much. Otherwise, she is so much fun to watch. Bill really needed these scenes with Vernon. The character was becoming one note with all the repetitive Haley stuff. Excellent stuff from both men today. What was Ted thinking just dropping all those responsibilities on Eva like that?

No, there's some underlying sexual tension in their scenes or maybe that's just me projecting. Kenneth: "I like watching you strut around here in your (jockstrap) fancy suits."

True, there's a stereotype that lesbians move quickly in a relationship, but I don't think they're meeting each other's families including grandparents on the second date. I do think it is purposeful because they mentioned that Chelsea may be acting this way because of everything that is going on with her own parents and I do think Madison is hiding something. I don't mind having Kat move slowly in the relationship. It definitely contrasts with the way her cousin moves through relationships, but I do think that kissing shouldn't be so awkward.
