I wonder if that woman who's run off the road is Andre's mother and Ted's sister? I remember the early description of both of Andre's parents being killed in an accident and then he inherits a double fortune as a result. Of course, this means a rewrite would've had to occurred since this woman was in the vehicle by herself and is not dead. I don't know.

I splendidly enjoyed that promo. A lot of exciting shots! This should be a fun watch. Everything looks solid. 

Since Bill and Hayley are getting married so early in the story I take it they have been dating for a while. Or is it a business arrangement? Dani’s reactions imply the divorce womb is fresh. 

I am very intrigued by what Bill said at the door. And will Vernon be a Victor Newman or Tom Horton?! 

Dani must be the showy role. Hmm…

On a superficial note, the men are all FINE!

I kind of did the same thing and, thus far, a lot of personalities match what the breakdowns said. It's nice to see those breakdowns be developed properly.

Like you, I've been slightly lukewarm on Karla Mosley, although, that's also due to the fact I wasn't a fan of her character on Bold, but seeing her as Dani you can tell she has sunk her teeth to the gums into the material, and isn't letting go. Seeing her semi "broken" while making herself up, clearly preparing to go to Bill's office and make herself known, it's beautiful. I'm actually excited to see Daphnée Duplaix, as I wasn't a watcher of Passions or One Life, and I've always heard positive things about her and how she's been so ignored in daytime, so that's where I'm most excited.

I applaud any white person who admits that they don't like TP's stuff, instead of pretending that they do, because they're afraid of what the NAACP will do to them.

If you're going to represent Black people, or ANY people, then REPRESENT.  Don't just reinforce stereotypes.  Instead, shatter those stereotypes into so many pieces, so that all the king's horses and all the king's men will NEVER put Sambo or Topsy back together again.

I think that's what MVJ is doing there with BTG.  She's saying, in effect, that white folks do not own the rights or the patent to being messy.  As long as you've got money, you've got problems!

Now, would I have developed BTG in the same way?  No, I wouldn't've, because I was practically weaned on Douglas Marland and Agnes Nixon's storytelling; so, I like to follow stories about different socioeconomic classes.

But I respect what MVJ is attempting to do, I think it's long past time for someone to do it, and I wish her nothing but the best.  (Follow that rainbow, 'Chele!)

    • What consequences are there to suffer? He didnt commit any crime and everyone already hates him. If anything this will set back the progress he's made with Naomi
    • Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.
    • Danny: Don't drink it. Just hold it. Rocco drinks three laced cups.

    • OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too. 
    • I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.
    • It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.' 
    • And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.
    • @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

    • Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.  
    • I figured the "long" was already implied
