There was also a lot of this with Dani/Jacob “mother in law” “son in law” laid down thick. I recently was rewatching Sunset Beach from the beginning and they did a much better job of showing how everyone was connected in a more natural way instead of this heavy explanation that, like you said, brings the scenes to a thud. Granted, SuBe wasn’t based around one big extended family where they really have to show how everyone is connected but surely there’d be a better way! I keep thinking back to Wendy Williams as the gossipy tv host on OLTL, something like that to almost narrate under the guise of this prominent family, or the way they have the gossipy nurse, there could also be an upstairs/downstairs type of situation with perhaps a new member of staff at the country club being shown the ropes and given the full run down by an OG Fairmont Crest staffer, just little scenes to help us link people together while letting the main characters focus on the action without taking their feet off the gas to tell us who their mother in law is etc.

I agree. If people care enough about her pulling the gun, wouldn’t they already know the story of how Bill and Haley got together?

How tall is Bill? Bc damn, he makes Haley look like a member of the Lollipop Guild.

Andre is so ridiculously sexy, Jesus Christ.

I'm not giving up my own halfbeard/halfstubble look anytime soon, and I know they're on trend, but that's another good point.  I just feel like SO much thought has been put into the looks and differences that those looks convey with the women (and understandably so) that... barely any at all has been put into the men who are all just slightly varying degrees of traditionally handsome and basic good dressers.

    • I do wonder if the show realized that fans would take to Silk Press and Eva as much as we have?    To me, I think the core four was mostly used to get eyes on the show since all four were familiar performers in both daytime and primetime.   Of the four, I think Nicole is used most effectively where it doesn't look as though she's hogging airtime.  She works as a lead and as a talk to. Anita has been the most under utilized of the four, but I do have a feeling that might be changing once the Ted/Nicole/Eva/Silk Press Story goes back to support status. Of the four, I think Dani has been over-used.. but I do still see potential for the character.  I know some people think she's the modern day Erica Kane, but I don't see that.  Erica was a Have Not that became a Have while Dani is a Have by birth and has done nothing to have earned being a Have. Good cliffhanger.
    • LOL now this sells it for me!  I can't wait to watch later tonight!
    • I think this is a great observation.  I do wonder if some of that was down to how Nixon had started writing story and plot outlines.  By this point (maybe even by the mid 70s) many have discussed how she *didn't* write detailed story outlines anymore--the focus more was on a mood or theme and ABC simply allowed that because they trusted her at this stage (in her "memoir" I think even Megan McTavish talks about Nixon's writing in this way in the 90s and she basically seems to admit that it worked for Nixon.  But if Nixon wasn't in charge of the daily execution of these ideas...)
    • Ooooooo that was a soap reveal!!!   And we even got a brief Kat vs Eva fight.   OOoooo cliffhanger!!! Oh, yeah, I remember they had a cover story, but I find it interesting that it was just mentioned again today. I wonder could it be foreshadowing another twist coming up. 
    • Thank you @rsclassicfanforever for 2824 (and that incredible s11 and s12 upload)! The number of non-English speaking episodes left have been reduced to double digits.
    • Eva and Dana came up with a story to tell Fairmont residents that Dana's name is Leslie and that Leslie is Eva's surrogate/foster mom who took her in after Eva's real mom died. This is what they agreed to tell everyone. But Eva is really Dana's daughter, or at least as far as Eva knows and believes.  Eva believes Dana really is her mom.     
    • Kat is so shady.   Oh, Eva's out!!
    • Dani...and Eva??? And now Ted and Nicole are setting her up for success. These scenes are sooooo giving old school soap when the schemer is being set up for a fall...loving it.    YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! He showed up with his FOINE self!!   Oh my Goodness! Kat is really on it today. Wait! Eva is the daughter of one of Leslie's friends who passed away. OH, REALLY? So that cover story might not be just a cover story then...   These Eva vs Silk Press Sheila scenes!!!    Awww...I guess no Vanessa, but at least she was mentioned.     
    • ^^ Talk about being unsuited for his position.....
