I know that the show had been in the works in MVJ's head for years, and I wonder when it came to making her dream a reality if anyone sat her down and explained to her that some of her ideas might need to be adjusted/trimmed back due to budget concerns. Had this been the 80s or 90s, a lot of the Plasma story would be shown instead of told and the clinic would be shown as well... and probably SPS's Frankenstein esque new house, etc. I'm sure the clinic will be featured eventually.
In regards to people working at Orphey Jeans instead of an office, I just want to point out that it's 2026 and a lot of people do work from an Orphey Jeans or a coffee shop during the day. Vanessa as a real estate person doesn't really need an office since real estate people are out and about meeting clients, making sure the houses she's showing are in tip top shape, advertising her listings on social media, etc.
Naomi seems more like a prosecutor so her job would require her to be at the police station a lot so she doesn't need an office. I would say a clinic set should have been created since that seems to be a new place for the plasma ring to occur. Eva/Kat/Chelsea have jobs that can be done remotely.. same as Dani. Nicole has an office.. actually she has two offices (one at home for her outside functions and one at the office for patients). Perhaps one of her offices could have been used for another character.
In regards to the recent episodes, seeing Vanessa/Deanna/Donnell together makes me really sad that the show didn't think to feature them both on recurring basis from the start. That way we could have seen both Deanna and Donnell interacting with Doug, being curious about what Vanessa was doing, and they could have been mixing it up with the other younger people... perhaps Chelsea could have used Deanna to help with her new line and perhaps Donnell could have had issues with hazing at his frat, etc. I guess I'm saying again that Tyyrell/Samantha weren't needed and should have remained younger kids... perhaps still have featured June in her unhoused story, getting herself a job at Orphey Genes, becoming more sure of herself.. and later on down the road have it come out that Tyrrell/Samantha were her kids.
The actress that plays Deanna looks like she could be Vanessas daughter and has father's quick temper while Donnell has Vanessa's tortured look mixed with Doug's intensity. Great casting for both.
