[alwaysAMC]

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.

Love it.

[Taoboi]

Wait!!!! That's not her mama???

 

And I am rolling at Dani letting Andre down. I was expecting him to let HER down. Shame cuz they got IT.

[BetterForgotten]

And then a few minutes later, Bill torched her ass when she came begging, lol

[dragonflies]

[Liberty City]

Oh I'm rolling with it!!

[Taoboi]

I'm watching right now and all I can do with Dani with him is shake my head. She looks dululu.

 

 

So Andre really DOES like Ashley. Hmmmm.

 

Oops. Not desperation!!! 

[Contessa Donatella]

Just finished, What a day, what a FRIDAY, what a week, what a launch!!!!

I'm gonna have to say that if we're talking about a female, Andre is interested.

Darn, Dani, that was just sad. 

[Taoboi]

Yassss!!! This is the menace that I've been missing from Bill. He read her down.

 

And Dani. *cues Karadisahan 'tragic' gif.*

 

God, that goatee on Ted is making me think thangs...

 

 

[dragonflies]

Karla said they didn't have their lighting the first week, it had to be shipped from Germany, they had to have a lady come out of retirement to show them how to do it 

[Taoboi]

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

[Contessa Donatella]

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! 

 

[ReddFoxx]

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.

[Taoboi]

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.
