I think the show was unprepared for Andre/Dani taking off and are unsure how to proceed with them. Although if the writers actually valued their male characters, they would explore Andre's backstory and fear of being in pictures as a nice summer/fall story.
The show needs to know that sweeps aren't a thing and they can have climaxes happen at other times of the year.
I looked at a summery of episodes from 120 to 150. I was so surprised at everything going on from Chelsea's kidnapping wrapping up to Eva/Tomas hooking up to Kat finding out to Derek starting to get feeling his legs back to him withholding it to Doug 'dying' to Vanessa and Joey hooking up.
All within 30 episodes and staggered. Now it's as of the show is on blood pressure medicine and this past week was the show running out of its supply so it got heated up.
