Here’s my idea for the resolution of the “Hayley is a fraud” storyline: The producers need to find the money for a small location shoot. I know it’s not the 80s or 90s anymore but it’s not beyond the realm of possibility either. The perfect place would be to film in St. Barts, since Hayley is always bringing it up and the characters already have a reason to go there (Bill bought the property there last year). Anyway, I think the climax of the storyline should occur in St. Barts. Maybe people are on to Hayley’s scheme and she is forced to improvise, pushing Bill off a cliff or setting him up to drown in the ocean. The characters who are on to Hayley (Kat, Dani, Jacob, Naomi, whoever) are racing to St. Barts to stop Hayley and save Bill. Imagine how exciting that would be!
An alternative is they could have Hayley use the St. Barts property to hold someone like Tomas. Let’s say that Tomas figures out Hayley’s scam but is subdued by Randy before he can warn Bill. Randy and Hayley take Tomas to the St. Barts property and chain him up there until they figure out what to do with him. Meanwhile, Fairmont Crest is abuzz over Tomas disappearing. If they did it right, they could drag things on for months and every episode would be suspenseful. You could even build a “St. Barts cottage” set and film everything in studio (except for any outdoors scenes).
Idk, I’m not a producer and I have no idea about budgets and stuff like that. But this show NEEDS this storyline to be memorable as it reaches its conclusion. If these writers are good, they would drag the climax out for months, leading us through various twists and turns. I just have a sneaking suspicion they’re going to bungle the landing on this one because while the writers are excellent at writing dialogue, their plotting overall leaves much to be desired.
