Dex joining the PCPD, WTAF? This doesn't feel like "Cleaning up previous writer's stories" at all 

[Contessa Donatella]

We don't know that they won't have diversity as a part of the new team.

But, in a way I think they do miss the boat on optics all over the place. The visual at Spencer's Memorial. Not having Trina on at all for 3 weeks. White people who could & do have opportunities to offer her condolences, don't. 

So, I definitely think the issue of optics is an issue. But I think it's worse than just optics. Tell my why Laura hasn't offered Trina condolences. I honestly don't think Frank & gang are racists but some stuff looks like they are. Someone told me they thought they are unintentionally racists. Scratching my head there, not sure what that means.

He would never look like Jagger no matter what they did but his hair length and color are very distracting.

Sam, FTW!

I like Jason, but Sam was 110% correct when she ripped him a new one today. Her being upset about Danny’s part in Jason’s return was so justified and realistic. As for the Danny/Jake scenes and fight, the acting was a little meh… But I like how messy they are over everything that’s going on right now. 

Dex joining the PCPD seems like another one of those clunky story beats that suddenly changes a character out of nowhere but I don’t hate it. 

And no Trina, you didn’t have to apologize to that trash bag

Believe it, or don't. Nothing you can do about it.

What does it have to do with cleaning up or not cleaning up stories? It's not my favorite idea but it is an entirely new development. I still don't think Dex is long for the canvas and/or the world.

[AbcNbc247]

 

I still think that’s more a Frank mandate than anything.

[dragonflies]

Cause Vee all I see here is "give the new writer's time, they're cleaning up the mess from the previous writer's" 

As I said this doesn't feel like they're cleaning up a mess, this is a new story that makes Anna look stupid and incompetent

[Liberty City]

If anything, this is a potential story to allow for more time to either find him a place in-canvas (out of Josslyn's world) or to simply write the character out.

[janea4old]

 

The length and depth of scenes!

[Liberty City]

Had this been in the previous regime, these scenes would've been choppy as fück, and Sam would have had no backbone. Mulcahey & Korte are strengthening WOMEN and it makes me SO happy to see.

[Vee]

How does drafting Dex make Anna incompetent? She told Dex there's less likelihood Sonny will want to take out a cop, and she's right. Are you watching the show or just posting tweets?

Also... Jason knows about Bobbie & Britt, but when he is going to find out about Epiphany? He never questioned Michael when he said Elizabeth was head nurse..!

[Contessa Donatella]

Well, they are doing clean up but it's possible for them to start new things, too. 

And, there's no guarantee that all of the fans are gonna like all of whatever new they introduce. Just because you don't like the idea of Anna putting Sexy Dexy on at the PCPD (which I can certainly see people questioning) doesn't mean you're not gonna like everything new they do. One new story can't be made into a trend. So far they've done Marshall, inherited, and Heather, inherited, and now this. I kinda feel like Anna is hiding him in plain sight & just daring Sonny to touch him. It's certainly different. 

[ranger1rg]

I'm more distracted by how bloated Michael looks.

[Khan]

To me, it seems a little strange for anyone, let alone for Anna, to recruit a former (?) mob enforcer for the police department - I mean, wouldn't it be the other way around, lol? - but, like @Vee said, I don't think Dex is long for this show, so whatever.  I don't hate it.
