I would be happy having an hour with that lout.  She had 30 years!  I completely understand why Hayley could not resit 

I know some people are finding ways to be sympathetic but not me. Bad guys: Bill, Hayley, well, that's as far as I've gotten. They're not gray.

Bill is bad but so fine!

He's the JR Ewing Type!

Except Bill is hot.  JR was not.

Did Dr. Ted clock the Thomases at the hospital elevator? They were much better at home than in that painful meet cute at the hospital explaining who they are and what they do. Andre did not have to come back to the blindingly white hospital hub just to have the same exact scene with Ashley as yesterday, followed by the duty nurse giving more exposition lol.

Martin is very cute, but he didn't exactly put over much of his often clunky dialogue. The civil rights discussion with Vernon was worthwhile but Martin continues to approach scenes as though he is informing Southwest passengers where the emergency exits of the airplane are. Of course, most of his dialogue was pure exposition. So far he's more wooden than Mike Manning, but hopefully the actor can find a groove. Nor did they need to keep talking about Martin's mysterious dreams vs. just showing one (as AMC 2.0 did early on with Celia Fitzgerald, whose mystery will sadly never be solved).

The rest of the show flowed better, was more organic dialogue-wise and performance overall. Karla and Tunie got much stronger dialogue today and KM had nuance for me. Daphnee carried as mentioned and her dialogue with her husband and poor Hayley, while at times explaining plot, still felt much more organic and natural than Day 1. Solid enough for me.

I did crack up when Hayley doffs her leopard print coat to reveal a transparent titties-out top for work. They may be dressing her as the homewrecker but to their credit so far she is not being written as one.

I hope the next episode doesn’t end with another public outburst from Dani.

Wanted to mention I thought the nurse training the white nurse was really good. The actress has me wanting to see more of her on the show.

Same. I liked her, too.

That blouse definitely read strumpet. It seems like the writers are trying to go in a different direction than the standard homewreckers who make snarky comments and brag about breaking up marriages.

Just finished episode #2!   

It definitely seems like the show is finding it's footing, beat by beat! It will be interesting to see how the week concludes. 

Ashley and Andre definitely have better chemistry then her and Derek, and I felt more spark with Ashley today then on yesterday's show.

Nicole not having anytime for Haley was hilarious, her and Bill are definitely a piece of work. I wouldn't want to cross Vernon or Anita if I was Bill. It's also refreshing that the family seems to hold the man accountable for the affair which is something you don't see ever on say B&B. It's gonna be quite the showdown tomorrow with Dani and Bill based on the ending! LOL 

 Eva and her mother, they are social climbers and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do! I guess Eva's mother had a past with Nicole's husband? gotta have the folk from the wrong side of the tracks, if that's what they are? 

I thought Martin and Smitty were cute. A kiss would have been nice, but I do think it was intentional they didn't show too much affection...I'm looking forward to seeing their kids too. 

I'm in agreement with everyone that some of the character's look way too young to be parents to 20 or 30 somethings, but at the same time, I feel like this is a throwback to B&B and even Passions where most of the actors playing the parents would be way too young to have kids at certain ages. I know Mike Manning is 37, and I'm assuming the actor that plays Martin is around that age or a little younger. The actor playing their son is 20 IRL I think, so it kind of gives me flashbacks to Passions when you had a 37/38 year Eva Tamargo play a mom to 5 grown kids, two of them at least pushing 30 and the others playing teens. Although at the same time I think people tend to look younger these days too so that doesn't help. 



Who were the two assistants of Nicole who had that conversation together? are they contract players, the older one looked like Bessie from the first episode? I love even the recurring/dayplayers are getting good airtime!

Does Dani have DID?

That was one of my thoughts; the moment she took that shot, something snapped inside of her. Either way, or possibly bipolar?!

I really hope not.  A personality disorder of some type could be interesting and informative but no to DID.
