It's either blanks or she shoots the wall.

From past production material:

IIRC Dani gets taken in and booked for this while vamping for the mugshot.

 

My guess is that Dani intentionally shot into the air / at the wall.

Are we counting Emmy episodes yet? While hit or miss for me early on, I did find Karla astonishing today.

I have seen a lot of mentions of B&B when it comes to Dani and Hayley. But I actually viewed their setup, Katherine and Jill. 

I wonder if Eva was lying, when she said Leslie was from Chicago. Isn't there where Anita is from?

This interview was so damn good. I am falling in love with Arielle (Naomi). She said Naomi and Jacob are the stable couple right now so that made me happy!

Also, happy about The Mention of Debbi Morgan. Marquita (Hayley) definitely has a similar presence. They would rock as family.

Looking at the preview, it looks like she shoots at the wall.

As a black man that’s been watching soaps for a little over 20 years, I can’t say enough how much it means to me to be able to watch a soap where are all of the leads look like me. Watching GH after BTG and seeing their flipping pictures opening and it’s just a sea of white faces, really drove this home for me today.

In zoom our group immediately all wondered out loud if either Eva was lying or if Leslie lied to her. It was like red flags went up.

Yeah, I agree. A part of me hopes it true. 

Ok, those were some great cliffhangers 👍

It was a really good way to cap off the first week, but at the same time, I felt the pacing was a little off in today's episode. And yesterday's too. Things felt a little rushed, almost like the New Years Eve episode of Days. I understand why they would choose to do it like that but I really hope they go back to the pacing of the first three episodes. 

And Dani begging Bill to take her back seemed a little strange to me as well. Throughout the whole week, I never got the impression that she even wanted him back. Maybe it was meant to trigger today's cliffhanger, but I think it could've been established and built up a little better.

And getting back to yesterday's episode, I think we should've seen the immediate aftermath of Laura being run off the road too. Why end Wednesday like that, if in the next episode, Laura was gonna be perfectly fine?

I did enjoy Dani's scene with Chelsea and Naomi though, and that they seem to be firmly on Dani's side. We'll see what happens next week lol 

@AbcNbc247

Pacing, do you mean how quickly everything shifted to the wedding?

 

I expected everyone getting ready for the wedding and showing up one at a time, but we didn't get that. Instead, everyone was already dressed and there.

Yeah. 

It all felt so rushed

I would like to add to the Underdog discussion. Even though she comes from a well-to-do family. In my eyes, Dani Dupree is the underdog.

Everyone around her has thriving careers and marriages (including her own daughter) and it will be interesting to watch her pivot and rebuild her life.

 

I'm looking forward to a Dani free day because she's kind of exhausting.

I'm more interested in the Nicole/Eva/'Leslie' story that is brewing and the nuggets being dropped regarding Vanessa and her role play fetish (an open marriage arrangement maybe?).

Ashley has awesome best friend energy, but keep as support only.

Hayley's arc is fascinating because she isn't written like the typical vixen/other woman...thus far.  And sounds like her father is out there somewhere.

Thank god they kept the one element from grandma's soaps....the Friday cliffhanger.

And a gathering with extras, good interactions, and pretty clothes.

not just the wedding. the whole week felt rushed — so much happening, so many people, i had to keep checking a cheat sheet to keep track of the characters and the relationships among them. 

and, as i mentioned upthread: i would have been ok if the leslie/eva/ted reveal had happened nexr week — even the week after.

Hopefully without Sonny's picture today. 😜

I have felt the opposite all week. I think she has been desperate to get everything about him back- the status and power in their community, she doesn’t want to be alone with their kids all grown, and actually has feelings for him, no matter how toxic they are. Her family has the status, but I have a feeling that Dani as the wild one didn’t start to get respect both inside and outside the family until her marriage and family. Daddy’s favorite is not the same as respect.

Karla did good work today in the scenes about coming back to life sexually and later pouring her heart out to Bill. These people do not seem like stunted twenty year olds  like so many other soap couples their age have for the last 20 years.
