Speculation/theory:
I'm getting an impression that they're writing Andre as the world-traveling rich playboy photographer who can be interested in/smashing multiple people.
On the surface-level.
But I also have the impression that they're attempting to convey that he thinks about things and tries to listen, so he does have some depth, maybe?

When, yesterday after sex, Dani admitted to Andre that she'd just shot up the wedding, I got the impression that he realized she was using him to unwind from all the family stress, and he was okay with that, but still surprised at the level of craze.  Yet he also listened to where she was coming from, and asked her how she now feels.

The whole deliver-a-baby-in-elevator trope -- was a trope, somewhat poorly directed/written.
I agree that the level of praise that nurse Ashley is receiving in the dialogue from the other characters -- is really way over-the-top, LOL.
But I do think they are *attempting* to convey that playboy Andre is somewhat moved by Ashley's dedication as a nurse (despite the bad writing).

I think the show might be trying to go with Andre being willing to charm anyone and jump anyone's bones,  yet at the same time there might be a trope of him... attracted to bad girls, but impressed by good girls (Dani/Ashley). 
I mean I don't think Ashley is strong enough for this trope, but perhaps the show is going for that? Or maybe as others have posted, there may be more beneath the surface for her.

Just speculating based on a few episodes, that they seem to be showing layers with Andre.

I think that's quite natural for some of us. I'm the same as you... any new show and the first couple of episodes my head is spinning. But I'm sure sure we'll get to a comfortable state. I still feel like I've missed something and I'm sure I haven't... but still... especially when you read speculation that people state as facts on the boards... I start scratching my head and thinking... Did I miss this?

I think it is his real voice, and I don't think he's putting on anything. My gaydar pings with Brandon Claybon, for sure.

There's so much talk about recasting him and the actor playing Derek, and I'd rather they not do that. We're just getting used to a huge cast and I think the idea of recasting already is crazy. Let's see how these guys work out. Let's see if they improve.

I don't want the show to announce "We made mistakes" this early.

 

Bill and Hayley mentioned they had an interior designer for their house. Looks like they hired one who gets everything from IKEA and Walmart. Wayfair was off limits.

I noticed on their home set and elsewhere, the BTG designer has a fascination with open shelving that looks really inexpensive.

      Lol! If Kat is going to do one thing, it's going to be give shade.   And of course, the Duprees would get into formation and team up. Sadly, I don't think they have anything on Silk Press Sheila.    Poor Nicole.   But loving it. I know I'm invested besides I'm seriously side-eying Vanessa/Doug cuz I want to get to the meat. And I love that every single beat is getting played.    Oooo Nosy Nurse!!!   OOOOHHHH so Silk Press Sheila and Nicole were preggers at the same time. And HA!!! The lawyer WAS Bill!  The acting is superb. Silk Press Sheila even toyed with Martin a little bit.   Ooooomg! Eva revealed.   Wait! Is it food posioning for Vanessa or is she with child?

      Well, if you add that one caveat, oddly, it disqualifies Renee. Because she is one person who was both the planner (if you will) and also the "evil" revealer. Weird but that is THE difference.  And it's the only difference. But, sure, I think those words make it unique. THE REVEALER CONVINCES HER TARGET TO HOST THE EVENT. Right?  Well, if we nitpick The Revealer used her secret agent to convince their target to do this shindig. Yes. That's it. Because Leslie/Sheila/Sherry/Dana/Leslie/Mom didn't do it by herself. She HAD to have Eva doing her part.  Okay, run with that.  And, why not discuss it here? It's topical.

      Leslie having the nerve to show up at the Dupree House was pure insanity. Bill being revealed to be more ruthless than anyone would have thought was a good development. I have to imagine that will change Dani's view of wanting him back. The whole reveal was well done and Trisha Mann-Grant owned those scenes. That was most definitely material for an Emmy submission reel.

      I agree, all the Guys Tux were nice. I like how they differ from each other and all stylish in a way. Awe, same. Can not believe I actually have enjoying a current daytime soap. Rewatching these episodes over the weekend as a jump back into Ryan's Hope and Santa Barbara. Agreed! Exciting times.

       And it was pretty dope we didn't know that tidbit before the reveal.

      yes I thought of the Renee party... But this is different because I'm talking specifically about the revealer convincing someone else to throw the party.  And the someone else complies, having no idea what the revealer plans. I'm wondering if Michele Val Jean did a first with BTG in 2025. But the BTG thread is already so busy -- that I thought it important to *NOT* clog it up with discussing this, so I brought the question here instead. That way, if other reveals come up in conversation, it's not a problem on this "general retro soap" thread.
