I agree. But often families who show a united front to the outside world have loads of internecine conflict. I want to see Nicole's reaction when she finds out that Dani slept with her nephew.

I think it's pretty pointless to try and appeal outside to people who don't enjoy soaps at this point to be honest, especially as it's not attempting to be anything else. If it had some sort of special "twist" to it, it might've been worth pointing out, but this is pretty standard soap fare. I think the most important thing would be to get lapsed soap viewers to check this out from the beginning.

I completely agree; I feel like the positives are outweighing the negatives.

Oh, this is promising; I'll have to look into their works to see if they possibly producing anything a bit more uptempo.

Not a bad interview, aside from the shït audio overall. And it's leaning into what I believed: casting veteran actors as the leads of the Dupree family, is helping guide the other cast members in this journey. And as [some] assumed, the taping speed is about the same as the other soaps currently on CBS.

[Taoboi]

Very good to hear. 

[Aback]

Honestly I totally see where you're coming from. While the latest promo was way better, overall there's no real 'value proposition' to this from a narrative pov.

Honestly, trying to appeal to people who otherwise wouldn't watch soaps is the reason why we're down to four soaps today.

Yeah, I hope they have some conflict though.

This the kind of promotion I hope to see more of. I hope we see more of the cast doing press on some syndicated radio shows in the coming weeks!

Oh my. This is going to be trash TV for sure. Get ready.

[Liberty City]

Oh, this is very exciting.

[ReddFoxx]

 

My guess is the conflict will be over Dani being reckless and too vengeful. Clearly she's going to be off the rails at the start.

[Alan]

I have to admit I'm pretty jealous of people in NYC and ATL who get to attend these screenings. It would be cool if they had premieres in multiple cities across the country with different cast members attending each.
