Did you mean Andre instead of Ted? I don’t see how Ted would factor in their story in that way.

Yes, I meant Andre. My mistake.

Btw... Some good news. My husband has agreed to watch the show with me. He had refused so far... Accusing me of wanting to watch too many shows at the same time.🤣 But now... He's agreed to watch starting with episode 1 tonight!!!

I will have to binge all the episodes with him in the coming days. It will be interesting to see his reactions. He hasn't seen nothing but my wallpaper on my laptop (Silkpress ❤️).

I'm excited to show him the show... And btw... in just less then an hour we are going to hit 2 years of marriage... So BTG will be in a way... Part of the festivities.  🎇 

Aaand I'll see how it feels when it's binge watched. Maybe I've missed some details.

LOL I'm not surprised that Robin is on Dani's side because Dani has some of Dorian's campy ways.

Diva respects diva.

You mean Mona? 

Yes - that’s her name! Thank you. Hopefully, I’ll remember it now. I almost have everyone memorized at this point. Ashley’s mom is the only one I think. Oh, and Martin and Smitty’s kids. I’ll get there…

Ashley is MVJ's Elizabeth Webber.

No.  Elizabeth is far more interesting.
Also MVJ wrote young Elizabeth on GH with far more layers.

Add me to the Dani train. Is she a villain? Is she just snapping over what happened to her? She’s obvs completely obsessed with him. And I am here. For. It! 
 

I can’t stand Haley. For me, I can’t get past the actress. As long as she’s playing Haley, I’ll never have sympathy for her. The writing can only do so much.

Ashley and Dani are examples of negatives that all soap operas have been doing in their shows over the last few decades.

Ashley is an example of telling instead of showing.  All the characters talk about how wonderful and gifted she is, and we've yet to see many examples of that.  It's as if the writers are intentionally trying to sabotage her character on a subconscious level.

Dani is an example of a character that we're supposed to root for, but the writing and acting don't justify supporting such a vile character.  Karla saying she's trying emulate the Reva and Erica characters fascinates me because her acting choices don't support that.

It's only been three weeks, but my initial instincts say that MVJ is good at implementing other people's ideas/visions.. but doesn't have the ability to be an effective headwriter/showrunner.   I get Sally Sussman vibes from her (another talented writer that lacked the ability to be a showrunner/head writer).

At least MVJ has the good sense to have writers and a co-head writer (Bob Guza) with ability join her staff unlike Tyler Perry.

I don't think it can be said that we're SUPPOSED to be rooting for Dani. Bill is definitely being painted as a villain, but Hayley is not. I think everyone in the "triangle" is pretty gray, but Bill and Hayley both painted more villainous than Hayley. 

There has been no heavy handed writing in Dani's favor and if anything she has been unnecessarily ruthless towards Hayley when Hayley has been painted as doing something good. 

Dani is polarizing for a reason and it is by design. 

Also if anything is wrong with the writing it is Guza's stench of one note plot heavy writing because only a few characters have had actual character development in three weeks.

We just finished episode 1. He hates Hayley and likes Dani the most. 

This is not going to end well 🤣🤣🤣

You've not done any rewatches prior to this?

Are you gonna be okay with not being up to date & not being able to live post on this thread? 

I cannot wait to hear his reactions!!!

I am quite enamored of my two recruits opinions!!!

One of them gave some praise at first but then came through with a very detailed critique of SO MANY PRODUCTION PROBLEMS!!! OY!!! Our last conversation danced around thinking, ahead of time that we would be that bowled over by 27 sets only to find that the most fun instead is Wardrobe! This recruit is a married gay guy. He's something of a hardass & thinks they should have worked a bunch of this out pre-launch. Julie Hanan Carruthers was rude to him once & that can never be healed. 

The other recruit is a partnered lesbian who was in love with Sue Ellen when she was 6 years old. Then Anne Heche as Vicky cinched her love of soaps. She loves almost all of the characters but especially Leslie, Eva, Dani & Hayley. She blames Bill & doesn't fault Hayley at all. She's changed from FFing Ashley & Derek because now she likes Ashley but still cannot stand Derek. Loves Andre. She also had a ton of notes for Production but also says she's not bothered by it because they'll work them out & you can actually see them getting better in front of you. She's more patient & appreciates that she sees it evolving & being able to experience that with a new venture. 

These people you don't know are not boring to me, but if they are to you, sorry. I'll follow Queen Anita's advice & not make a habit of it.

Oh, no... I will, of course, continue watching live here with you guys... It will take us (me and my husband) just couple of days to catch up to the new episodes. In this time I will still watch the new episodes and repeat the old ones with him. ❤️

Predictable that I would not realize the particular method you will apply!!! My 2 recruits are primarily binging on weekends & I think they see it a bit different, but then wrong to compare to us anyway because we've been immersed since months before. I don't know anything about watching a soap via immersion. It may not even be a thing. I'm babbling. Main point: excited for Nikolai & cannot wait to hear who he likes, etc.
