This is an exciting announcement! The more we learn, the more real it is starting to feel. Also, while these aren't names known to daytime, I do love that so many of these actors have worked on popular Black projects. That's going to help bring in their fanbases who watch the soaps on streaming and BET, but may not immediately want to watch a daytime soap. 

We still have quite a few names to be announced so I'm sure we'll have some more big names coming, but I love that we have a lot of new blood as well. Let them make their own stars like many of the other soaps did.

Yes. I may question a few things here and there but I think this is going to be an interesting ensemble overall. A chance to see some we know mixing with some we don't, or at least we're less familiar with. And yep, I still think Real Andrews is "Patrick". COME ON NOW!!!!

And he's Patrick's and Anita's grandson IF I'm connecting the dots correctly.

I *believe* this is how characters lined up from the casting breakdowns to the casting announcement:

  • Sam > Ted Richardson
  • Marcus > Martin Richardson
  • Allison > Katherine "Kat" Richardson
  • Armand > Andre Hamilton
  • Joseph > Bill Hamilton
  • Jillian > Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne
  • Cheryl > Chelsea Hamilton
  • Elizabeth > Hayley Lawson
  • Dana "Leslie" Thomas
  • Kate > Eva Thomas

The character "Stacy" is missing so far. Described as a successful real estate gal in a loveless marriage. She no longer loves or shares intimacy with her husband but she has lots of fun with other people, so to speak. Ahem! Where is she? Interestingly, the original character description stàted that her husband felt the same way. I remember sizing them up as Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Not the only one missing. These characters are missing:

  • Patrick, a retired Senator, described as "gentle, humble, and generous", husband of Betty, holding a family secret
  • Stacy, owns a real estate agency which specializes in luxury properties
  • Courtney, a charmingly intense woman who experiences a "chance encounter" that triggers suppressed feelings connected to the death of her husband
  • Diane, described as a bit of a mystery, with "two faces," with a plan to "righting a grievous wrong"
  • Luis, a personal trainer at the Fairmont Estates Country Club, who has his eye on one of the married women who lives in the gated community
  • Rick, a fireman who is described as fearless
  • David, a descendant of a family of law enforcement officials, known to get too personally invested in his cases
  • Tomas "Tom" Hernandez, a "confident" attorney
  • Mike, high-powered law partner to Joseph, who has been accused of "sexual impropriety in the workplace"

Plus, Marcus' unnamed husband.

No, "most viewers" DON'T want the "fictional drama and escapism" from reality that soaps are presently giving us. You've mentioned anemic ratings more than once. Are you listening to yourself?

No one wants or expects scenes revolving around Kamala Harris or other real politicians. Still, it'd be nice to have a soap that doesn't purposely avoid mentioning politics or politicians. Instead we get political races where no one is part of a party. No one stands for anything. It all comes off as fake as hell.

Joseph is marrying the woman he had an affair with, and that is Bill marrying Hayley. Per the casting breakdown:

"Joseph, an attorney who is engaged to Elizabeth following their affair"
"Elizabeth, a paralegal, engaged to Joseph following an extra martial affair"

"Sara" in the breakdowns was always referred to as the ex-wife of "Joseph," and "Sara" became Dani. But the breakdown for "Joseph" lines up more with Bill Hamilton, Nicole's ex-husband. They could have SWAPPED the backstory, or Soap Hub mis-reported who "Joseph" was the ex-husband of.
