Yeah, I know we've all covered the heavy exposition issue but it remains an issue for me.  So much of the dialogue plays really well and then it just comes to a thud.  I was looking back at early/first episodes of other soaps and none of them seemed this bad in that respect (ya ya I get that it's a different day and age, etc, although that also means that if people are curious about how characters are related and other issues, they could go to a well designed webpage.)  Even on Monday when Nicole called Dani "little sister" at one point (and yes, I get that maybe they have a relationship where she always calls her little sister) it sounded forced to me.  I have a twin sister who I never ever ever would call "twin sister" when talking to her.

The Dana and Eva exposition dump scene also had these issues for me and just needed a bit more finessing because as it played I kept thinking "why is Dana telling her daughter all of this stuff NOW, especially since it's clear she already knows it?  Isn't there some better way to incorporate this info into the dialogue" because as it was written it sounded like when a villain reveals their secret plan for the first time--and yet none of this was new info to Eva.  (To be fair, that kind of writing isn't new to soaps--it's very Jim Reilly in fact, I just think this show doesn't suit that style and I don't like it

I love that Bill called Vernon out on the Duprees’ bullshit. He’s easily becoming one of the characters I’m rooting for, which I would have never thought. I might take some flak for this, but I wonder what Dani did to drive him away.

This flashback of Dani remembering talking to Bill after Naomi's wedding...
what Dani wore back then in the flashback ...

Karla's wardrobe: the same dress she wore as a presenter at the NAACP Image Awards on Feb. 22

Maybe Jamey is replacing Gregori Martin as outline writer. I previously posted how Gregori talked about his time as a writer in the past tense (on a recent FB post).

I really liked Bill and Dani in that flashback. They look beautiful together and have chemistry. For story purposes, I still want him with Hayley though.

[EricMontreal22]

Shame he doesn't have that chemistry with his husband.  (not that they've really had a good scene together yet, IMHO)

[DemetriKane]

Same. 

[Rmodelboy]

Yessssss Dani jump on that young thang again

I thought the press conference was sort of silly.  They're trying too hard to excuse Dani and let her go free and it's just too unbelievable... I almost wished they just did away with the live stream because it ultimately didn't help or change anything in the end.

Nice seeing Sara Bibel's name again!  I remember thinking she was one of the better script writers at AMC back in the day!

Today was probably my least favorite episode so far, but I'm still excited to see what comes!

[Rmodelboy]

We can wait until a Sweeps snowstorm reunites them lol
