Ted paying off Leslie is Weinstein-esque. Trumpian even. It seems more like something Bill would do. Also according to the character descriptions from last year...

Spoiler

...Bill's law partner Mike is going to have a #MeToo scandal. How many men on this show are going to be revealed as cheating pervs? 🙃

 

I feel like there’s a lot more to this Ted/Dana relationship than we know and that will unfold.

Right, but he paid her off. That's what makes it skeevy.

I don't think that's terrible. He made a mistake and he wants to avoid his wife finding out about it. He didn't make the right choices but I still don't think it automatically means he's a bad buy. Now if we find out he's been cheating for all these years like Bill then that's another story.

Dani's crazy azz is likely to ask the PD for a copy of her photoshoot mugshots and have them delivered  to Bill at his office

I kinda feel bad for the actors playing Dereck and Ashley because they have to see the terrible reception their characters are receiving but again today they just stuck out like sore thumbs compared to everything else

They just drain the energy out of the show whenever they’re on. It’s a combination of the characters being so damn generic, actors lacking charisma (Jen Jacob), and just being plain wooden as hell (Ben Gavin). 

I don't hate Ted for the cheating. But, I do believe, it is too early for this IMO. I'm sure the writers could have come up with better situations for conflict. They are both intellectual and in the medical field, maybe they were some competition and disagreements at work, or maybe one of them for starving for their own space since they worked so closely together.

I feel like there’s an intention to write and produce this show with a streaming/binging audience in mind first.

 

I can see that! The Sherry storyline is moving too quickly though.

Oh come on dude. Paying your whore to keep quiet is super skeevy. I cannot believe they have made him worse than Bill in one fell swoop.

I could envision a Deveny Dixon-like storyline where one of Ted's patients, who had a botched procedure, comes back into their lives for revenge. But they don't recognize her/him because of the cosmetic changes.

I'm just puzzled at the decision to blow up both Dupree daughters' marriages with infidelity storylines. I don't mind blowing up their marriages, but why make both husbands cheaters? I'm still hoping for a twist which will demonstrate that this story is not as straightforward as it seems to be.

Is Nicole the only character now that's been on 11/11 episodes so far?

It's a soap, that is child play compared to some things people do. I'm going to let it play out. Now you could be right in the end but I'm going off what I know so far.

I would have enjoyed that much more.  I guess we will have to wait and see how this all plays out.

The new Kendall Hart 🤩

The Leslie/Ted affair payoff was revealed to the viewers today.  (That is, if we have the full story and there aren't more twists.)

Speculation: I don't think it will be revealed to the other characters for a while?  My guess is that Leslie will spend some days/weeks making Ted squirm, before Nicole finds out.

He is not worse than Bill and we don’t even know the full story yet. I’m not quite writing him off yet
