this is the kind of thing i’ve been talking about. i would have been so much more engaged in this storyline if i had a better sense of their back story.

and yes, why now? why not wait a week or two — or three:)  for the reveal? there would have been nothing to lose, and so much to gain.

If I was Hayley after today I would probably invest in good security for my house... And probably a bodyguard or two.

Possibly, but Dani seems more unhinged than Erica ever was. To me, they're not the same. As someone mentioned earlier, Dani holding a gun on her ex feels more like something Annie Lavery—or even Greenlee—would do. Greenlee’s rage when she tore the dress off Kendall on the witness stand, exposing her fake pregnancy belly, is the kind of intensity I see in Dani.

I think its possible we are all overreading a production choice to have the phone placed that way, but I am certainly not judging given my speculation heavy posts. 

The piece that makes me leery about it being intentional is it hurts her case for leaving her mother to start the purse line. I imagine this accident will be used to keep Chelsea attached to Dani a bit longer and frustate Kat in the process long enough to accept a date with Tomas. 

It's been subtly alluded to, but was more clearly laid out in casting call for Leslie. I'll address that and the stuff about Ted behing a spoiler just in case:

It was subtly alluded to in the episodes leading up to Friday's reveal, but it wasn't stated implicitly because it would have spoiled things. If you read my above comment, it should give some more insight.

Ironically, the other Atlanta produced soap "The Catlins" opened with a fairly large cast of the main family:

Generation 1: Catherine Catlin

Generation 2: her son T.J. and his wife Annabelle

Generation 3: , their children Matt, Jonathan, Maggie, Beau, and Jennifer.

Jonathan's wife Eleanor, Maggie's husband Roger were both present in the opening with Matt's ex-wife Crissy appearing in June, and Beau marrying Lauren in July

Generation 4: Jonathan had two children with at least one on-air early in the run, Stephanie. Matt's son Bobby arrived with Crissy in June.

Yeah her actions I could see Annie and/or Greenlee doing. Because Erica would never be unhinged about it. But the dialogue for me...especially the parting shot ('I'll see myself out.') with the walk-off was giving diva. And that I could see Erica doing after verbally dressing down her enemies.

 

But you know I bow down to your knowledge on all things Erica so I should just shut up if I'm offending her memory.

What makes the Leslie/Eva revenge campaign extra creepy is that they are about to make life hell for two innocent people who have not done to them what they are alleging, providing the twin angle comes to fruition. They said this show was going to be crazy and wild. It's already taking shape in so many ways.

I don't recall even once someone saying that Erica Kane and Dani are the same.

All people have said is they've seen similarities in certain aspects and vibes and etc. 

And Karla herself has stated that Dani IS somewhat like Erica Kane. And Reva.

    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
