I haven't actively watched a daytime soap opera since AMC was cancelled, which at the time of my life was the saddest end of an era for me because I had been a faithful watcher since 1991.  On the other hand, it brought a much needed hour back in my day because I was starting a new career in a new city and I started a new relationship.  I had already stopped casually watching ATWT when that got canceled, and OLTL no longer held my interest at the time, so AMC was all I had left.

Fast forward 11-12 years later and to hear a new soap was debuting, I was shocked and intrigued.  I didn't really have hope given where we are in today's world of modern day soap operas, but I decided to check it out this week just to see... and I'm very happy!  So much potential and it has been very entertaining so far.  Yes, some actors are green, and I actively had to google character lists/family trees to keep everyone straight throughout the week haha, but otherwise I think we have a successful show on our hands if viewers will tune in!  

Dani, while so over the top, is very entertaining to me.  I think soaps should be a little over the top, so I don't mind it.  Leslie and her storyline is juicy and I can't wait to see how that unfolds.  Nicole is smart and I love the actress that plays her.  Anita and Vernon are royalty and perfectly cast in those roles.  I think Naomi is strong and interesting.  I can't wait to see how some of the other storylines outside of Dani/Bill/Hayley turn out.

I haven't experienced a real-time Friday cliffhanger in so so many years and it was like being a kid again!  Haha, I can't wait for Monday!  I do agree though, if that turns out to be a daydream, I won't be happy.

Not the mysterious box!!

Enjoying so far.

 

Lol. I really do feel that when it comes to her, it's genuine. But otherwise, I would agree with you. I look forward to seeing more of their history or if we get some form of flashbacks with them.

 

It really was. The light died in her eyes when Bill said that. 

 

KENYA!!! But hahahahahahaa

THIS!!!

Totally agree. As a matter of fact, yesterday when she went to pieces in the elevator what I saw was genuine, real crying, actually half-sobbing & half-screaming. But, to me it was authentic. 

I'm in black! But, I loved that all the Fairmont residents were dressed to the nine but IN BLACK & also loved the withering look Anita gave the two men who stood for the bride. Priceless! Sit your a*ses right back down in that chair!

Dani begging Bill was embarrassing, but it does add a layer to the character's current state. She is all over the place and it's not just anger.

When Vernon stood up and Anita told him to sit down that was such a good moment. She was like "Why are you standing up? Sit your ass down".

Was Leslie saying that Ted is Eva's father or did she mean something else? Seems like there might more to it because it's quite early to make a reveal like that.

Dani's dress is my favorite. Hair. Makeup. Design. Vibe. It's EVERYTHING. 

 

And seeing Anita show up halfway through the episode made me think of vintage Y&R. lol.

 

Cady!!!!

 

I like Bill's assistant.

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
