Do the writers want us to dislike Naomi? I often think it's a one step forward, two steps back situation with that character. She seems to have inherited the worst traits of both of her parents Dani and Bill. She bullies and takes her spouse for granted like her father Bill did to her mother while being a nosy buttinsky and blurting it out at the worst moments like her mother Dani.
Instead of the show doing those pointless filler fantasies of Dani/Andre.. they should actually look at the character of Dani and really delve into her toxicity and how that damaged both of her girls in different ways. Naomi grew up not wanting to be like her mother (i.e. letting Bill cheat and walk all over her) while treating Jacob just like her father Bill treated her mother Dani while Chelsea is emotionally immature due to the domineering hold that Dani had on her with Chelsea resenting Bill because his cheating made Dani take out her frustrations and lack of control out on Chelsea.
Plus, like others have said, Andre not wanting to be photographed is a clue to something from his past and wondering if he witnessed something or it has something to do with the death of his parents years ago? I think the popularity of Dani/Andre (not planned by the writers) made the writers keep them together.. but not have anything to write for the two other then those filler fantasies and constant love scenes and talk. There is so much that could be written/mined from this coupling that hasn't been mined thus far.
Derek should never have to grovel to Ashley. Writers.. Derek can do so much better.
