Good point!
And I agree with pretty much everything @Vee has said in his last two posts.

I see it the opposite way. I think a big problem with the show is its constantly telling people why the characters are the way they are or why they do what they do. The dialogue is often heavily expositional or leans towards grand pronouncements about who this person is (often with full names!), why they feel this way, etc. That's just not interesting to me.

I don't!
If she has improved, that's great, I wish her nothing but the best. But I still think she sucked donkey balls on AMC.

ARTICLE: CBS Media Ventures Announces Slate Of New & Returning Shows, Including ‘Entertainment Tonight’ & ‘Hot Bench’

With NBCUniversal Media ending their syndicated platforms, this is a positive sign that CBS Media Ventures is not doing the same thing.

I remember in the first few months, there were some complaints on some the forums about how fast paced the show and not allowing the plot twists and revelations to play out before going to the next plot twist/revelation. So I think one of the adjustments the show probably made was to slow the pace down a bit and allow character moments to shine through.
There are strong scenes and I like that the show isn't afraid to mix up characters and have them interact with different scene partners. I think it's a lot of telling and showing... and almost like they're afraid to have the Duprees have any sort of conflict and exploration.
I often said that Naomi and Chelsea are the way they are due to having Bill/Dani as parents. To me, I think Naomi preferred to be around Bill because he was more decisive and less prone to fly off the handle.. and she ended up becoming the more mature one in the family and had to be the parent to her parents (there were a few remarks Naomi made to Dani when she was melting down saying she wasn't going through this again) while Chelsea was sheltered and made to have the career that Dani regretted giving up for marriage/love.. and Bill's cheating caused Dani to operate on high octane and she poured that energy out to Chelsea.. and I think that was why Chelsea had a harder time forgiving her father because deep down, she blamed him for subjecting her to her mother's more explosive tendencies.
I think if the show really delved into it, it would give Dani a great story about how her stunted maturity had an adverse effect on her daughters in different ways. The show has sort of done this with Bill to a degree.. but the shows seems almost afraid to really go there with Dani.
And with Kat and Martin, they seemed to have had a more stable upbringing and I'm sure Kat being a miracle baby made Ted/Nicole dote on her and Kat would understandably be a bit more entitled and spoiled.. while Martin also had some of that upbringing once Kat was born. He came off very snooty especially the way he used to talk down to Smitty.
I understand where MVJ is going with the show, but I think she operates more on how soaps used to be (where viewers could analyze the motivations for themselves without a lot of exposition).. but a lot of viewers nowadays need to be constantly told why people are they way they are.

That makes sense. I don't think the character would have lasted much longer anyway so she made the right choice.

They offered the actress a three-year deal, but she declined. She had landed ATWT directly out of school, and after a year and a half on the soap, she wanted to focus on regional theater. The poisoning was a plot device to write her off of the show.
