He reminds me of if Andrew Shue would be acting today. So I guess he's Andrew Shue on Temu or something. 

 

His dead eyed stares into NOTHING is inspiring. Duurrrr Alithun...

Looks today's script writer was Judy Tate with Sara Bibel as breakdown writer.  

Today's episode seemed more focused with just Plot A and Plot B being focused on today (The press conference and the aftermath of Ashely/Andre being trapped in the elevator).

Seeing the dynamics between Bill/Hayley and Bill/Dani really highlights the differences between both couples.  The Bill/Dani flashback showed a partnership between a long married couple that seemed on the wavelength while Bill/Hayley is showing a couple not on the same page and not a team.  

When I look at Derek, I think back to a comment that we used to say to the hot guys or girls... 'Smile and look pretty'.  We all know if there ends up being an Ashely/Andre/Derek triangle.. that Andre will be the winner.  Either recast Derek, or get him some acting lessons.

I wonder if the nurse will eventually join the gossip circle that includes Mona, Ashley's mom, and Dana(Leslie)?  Would be a fun time seeing all four compare notes on the goings on behind the gate.

No Silk Pressed Sheila? 

 

But I liked this episode. Nothing really happened, but I did love that they continued to play the fallout from Friday's cliffhanger as well as flesh out more of the characters.

 

Is it wrong that when I think press conferences that I immediately thought of Karen Huger and hers from RHOP? lol. Because that was how this press conference came across. And I loved that the Dupree continue to be all united front out in public, but divisive behind closed doors. It's quite old school black family for me. And I still can't believe that Bill crashed the conference and tried to sway the press. As if the Duprees aren't THE family in that community. Good to see Dani with a gun dealt with in the end so she can just keep moving through plot.

 

And so many little things came out of it. Bill and Hayley having internal conflict over Bill's need to hold on to the Dupree influence vs Hayley wanting them to have their own path. Vernon being boss...which Anita has been up 'til now as the heavy, but it's nice to see they can do it equally. And of course, the fleshing out of the Martin/Smitty relationship. What a jerk.

 

Dani suuuure looped back around to Andre sooner than expected. lol. But I like the two of them together so good. 

 

And for me, I could care less about Ashley/Derek today.

 

Good moving of the pieces with some resolution to the current main arc.

I thought that today picked up at the best point.

Team Dani is rocking this show! If this is a tent, then she is def a tentpole.

 

Loved our first real flashback!

 

IKR?!!! Never dreamed she'd be back knocking on that door.

Now that would be great! And I remembered the actress who played Monica Colby on The Dynasty Reboot, Wakeema Hollis, I thought she might also fit the show, she seemed like she was capable of much more than what she was given too

    • 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.....
