The way he started berating him... the second he came in...  Narcissistic abuse. 

If anyone recognizes themselves in a similar dynamic - look for help ASAP... Tell relatives and family. RUN.

Just popping in. There’s a lot to be excited about (even with a frustrating character, Karla Mosley already has a winning Lead Actress reel from the confrontation with Haley at Bill’s). The expansive sets are glorious, Friday’s Dupree dance-off was the type of fun character-building moment daytime forgot how to do, and it feels refreshing to watch a soap that can actually afford set changes, events with extras and day players, etc., the very things we took for granted when soaps had real budgets. Loving Eva/Kat’s “sibling” rivalry and Leslie’s campy treachery. That story has my attention.

It’s early days so I’m willing to be patient with the many issues, like the rushing through plot points, hit-or-miss dialogue, and weak casting for the supporting roles. Monday’s episode was an absolute disaster IMO after a strong first couple of weeks. Like that’s the kind of drivel I expect from the legacy soaps.

I’m getting annoyed with the almighty Duprees (too early for that!) and agree with whoever said that Martin and Dani’s kids should have been Nicole and Dani’s siblings instead. Not buying Chelsea and Naomi as Dani’s kids at all. Even putting the real-life actors’ ages aside, I’m just not feeling the maternal aspect of Dani yet, even from a dysfunctional place (and the Bill obsession is already getting old). Tamara is young enough to be the mother of two twentysomethings. I’m also not impressed with many of the male cast aside from Clifton (who carries the right gravitas and quiet danger as Vernon) and the tall, sexy TKB/Bill.

Ashley is not working at all, and I have no clue why Andre would be so enamored with such a dull woman.

I wonder if we’ll start seeing Santa Barbara-level recasts in the coming months. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right people.

This was the perfect time for his face to be burned up and we hear the voice saying "The role of Derek will now be played by <insert better, more attractive actor>"

Finally we see Martin/Smitty's children.

My problem is still with the writing team. My issue is not with the affair, it's having too many going at once. And so early on, and why not have Nicole step out?

    • Elliot is SOOOOO tasty in this period. He's so wicked. One of the reasons I stayed on with the show when I began watching. 
    • I can get through another 10 to 20 episodes. April is such a compelling character. The actress just owns the screen. I think this is also why I'm annoyed by Draper. Margo and April are so fantastic that Draper is a wet blanket (except for one scene which I mention below).   Draper was bearable in his scenes with Logan because he was not whining about the house. If he has more scenes with Logan, I can tolerate him. As of now, he's just very one note. Everyone has had more to do.  Thank you for explaining about Raven's backstory and her connection to Draper. It clears things up. Logan explained things a bit in the convo with Draper, but there was still some things I was not sure of. Gabet and Kibbee are just sensational. I now see why people adore Sharon Gabet. How did AW squander her talents? SMH.  It's the way Draper is written. I'm drawn to Eliot who is a total cheating pig. The writing and the performance are first-rate. Draper is stomping around like a spoiled child and I don't have the benefit of seeing April and Draper's relationship from the beginning so this is my first intro to Draper. He's annoying as can be. ========== There's also an African-American police officer who's struggling to walk again. He's Steve's partner. He took his first steps. I can't tell if they are writing him off or if he's going to say. I hope he stays because the actor is quite charismatic.
    • Oh no!  Did you not like the Susan character? She intrigued me from that one episode I skimmed through. What didn't you like about her?
    • The eternal dream...him begging to get with her included. 
    • On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.
    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes.
