I feel like I need to congratulate Doug because for a recurring character, he sure has a front and center position. Might as well upgrade to series regular. He's got more going on than the actual regulars.

HA! The now defunct PASSIONS would've done this for sure.

All I can say is that the nitty-gritty needs to be gotten down to come next month. I am simply not fascinated by the majority of these characters right now. Dani and Andre: Constantly having sex is NOT a storyline. She’s become obnoxious and he's still a big mystery. How about telling us more about his deceased parents and other possible backgrounds. The Dupree matriarch and patriarch: They are king and queen of the show, but somehow even they are coming up short. Are they dropping plot lines left and right? Bill vs. Naomi is now a no go. Martin is no longer interested in running for president and he's no longer all over Smitty about returning to work. Dropping plot lines already as a brand new show ain't good. Kat and Eva: I know quite a few people are liking this potential sibling rivalry, but it’s just too ordinary for me, like "been there done that" a million times before. The bottomline for me is I'd like to see some huge surprises and stepping more outside of the box. How about focusing less on this silly product placement and focusing more on these characters.

I'm still invested in and loving my TeddyBear despite his transgressions. I'm not sure how I'll feel about the new one coming so we'll see. As for anyone else? I don't know. It feels kinda awkward to me like the writers haven't dug deep enough to make me care much about anyone else. My opinion. It's strange because all of these characters were given interesting character descriptions when this project was first being created.

It wouldn't be difficult at all to create some initially unheard of family members. A manipulative treacherous Dupree son banished from the family a la Tracy Quartermaine for example?

I'll agree on one point and disagree with another. Anita and Vernon are villains. Maurice Johnson as Ted is a leading man. I said it before, he and Nicole could've been the black Sky and Raven of this show.

I'm afraid that this is gonna be NuTed. Black men just can't be good. Oh, and the mention of WIGS?

This show is filled with misbehaving characters and it's so ironic that the seemingly most decent and hated are Ashley and Derek.

Bring Veronica

I'm down with Veronica Harrington joining this cast like a Youtuber suggested. So many vile characters on this show and she'd fit right in.

I think the show needs to use Andre exactly as he was designated: a playboy. Isn't a playboy just the male equivalent of a whore? Why is he just sleeping with Dani and pining for Ashley? Have him sleep with Shanice and a few recurring wanton bimbos just to have him live up to his so-called reputation.

Dr. Flannery? Another CBS nod to Susan Flannery aka Stephanie Forrester?

I wonder what Maurice's swaying is all about because it's not like he does it in every scene he's in.

They also need to explain Ted and Leslie also. When and where did they meet? Was she a call girl back in the day and met him on an extended business trip?

ALL OF THIS!

I want this show to work. I really do. The showrunners have to listen to their audience. Without us, they ultimately have nothing.

Right! He's a good looking man. But in my opinion doesn't carry the style and refinement that Ted was originally originated.

Wow! Generations lasted two years. Will this?

Indicating that black men aren't supposed to be seen as good or refined.

Sounds to me like Ted will be darker and less refined. But why?

BIG MISTAKE letting go of this classy version of Ted.

She's my glamorous Raven. Current Ted is Sky. Class, style, debonair, and turtleneck.

How is Andre a desinated playboy? Playboys want sex only. He just smashes Dani and pines for Ashley.

Missed opportunity. LOOKS! Not necessarily temperament. Besides, Raven wasn't a loser, but Dani sure is.

I do. Sky wearing his turtleneck. His style and class. His good looks. Raven with her beauty, style, and wardrobe.
