The script that revealed that Dani was arrested also stated this was the day of Bill and Hayley's wedding so it would seem there would be at least some fairly strong days very early on if you are arresting one of the major antagonists in the same episode you are marrying off a power player and his new younger bride. 

I am looking forward to this show. Happy we are approaching the premier in under 2 months. 

As am I. I will say I don't think

Spoiler

Dani is necessarily a full-on antagonist from what little we've seen. I think she seems reckless and possibly her own worst enemy. I think Bill and Hayley, the ex and new spouse are meant to be heavies.

@Vee I agree with your assessment of Dani. Anatagonist may be an oversimplification. I think she certainly more of the "bad sister" compared to Nicole. The "momager" label rarely tends to be a compliment though I don't think Dani will be anywhere near the caliber of GH's "sympathetic" homophobic momager Natalia.

I think it is said Bill / Hayley were involved during Bill and Dani's marriage, but the desire for acceptance seems more of a gray area character. I could be wrong.   

I am more out of the loop on the modern soap tropes so you are probably right, Vee.

No, I think this is all correct. Admittedly I am also bearing in mind the actor in the role of Bill (whose name escapes me atm) also playing the cheating husband/heavy on Ava DuVernay's excellent OWN soap Queen Sugar, so I'm bringing that to the table.

❝ “We wanted to have a show on the air that spoke to a different side of the Black experience,” Val Jean tells Entertainment Weekly over a joint Zoom with Ducksworth. “Not the downtrodden, not the ghettoized. We wanted to show rich, Black people doing messy things.”

“I've long been fascinated with showing the side that we haven't seen a lot of,” says Ducksworth. “In these Maryland suburbs, there were some of the most affluent African American counties in all of America. So looking at that and the wealth of everything at Howard University, I felt that this was an area that was ripe for the picking. You get the upstairs, the downstairs of it all. It's true to life." ❞

Thankfully, none of this sounds "ratchet" or like "smut," or even (Thank God) "Black porn". This sounds smart, thoughtful and very insightful. Ducksworth calling it "true to life" is refreshing. That's what we like hearing!

Nope; wasn't just you.

Everything looks so beautiful! The fashion, the hair, everything! But, Karen Huger?! C'mon now.....

I dunno who that is, sorry

It does somewhat make sense for Karen to make a cameo as the show does take place in the DMV area, which is where Potomac lies. I wouldn't be surprised if Michele Val Jean drew some inspiration from Potomac. It would be genius seeing as Potomac was a hot show during the time she started to work on the show--during COVID.

The show looks like it's going to be so good! Karla looks amazing in that red dress!

Yes, the more red-hued orange dress is stunning. The fashion is serving in the first episode alone. Dani is definitely looking to fulfill the "momager" wild child vibe that she's been described as. Plus, she gives "free-spirited, headstrong and uninhibited".
