I kind of did the same thing and, thus far, a lot of personalities match what the breakdowns said. It's nice to see those breakdowns be developed properly.
Like you, I've been slightly lukewarm on Karla Mosley, although, that's also due to the fact I wasn't a fan of her character on Bold, but seeing her as Dani you can tell she has sunk her teeth to the gums into the material, and isn't letting go. Seeing her semi "broken" while making herself up, clearly preparing to go to Bill's office and make herself known, it's beautiful. I'm actually excited to see Daphnée Duplaix, as I wasn't a watcher of Passions or One Life, and I've always heard positive things about her and how she's been so ignored in daytime, so that's where I'm most excited.
