You know I brought up just that story, based on truth, weeks ago.

One thing I feel I have to say, a woman crying in an elevator?!!! Really? This to you spells insanity?!!  if that's the way you think, then I shudder to think how you are with an ordinary person who is grieving. I know I would not look to you for any kind of empathy.

It would be. While the writers aren't going to have a core character turn into a murderer they certainly have borrowed from the harassing behavior Broderick engaged in and how her husband achieved his success with her help.

What I can see happening is that Bill's shady legal antics get him shot and Dani gets blamed for it but no one believes her. And of course her gun will be the weapon.

Yep, the Tomas actor is pretty damn awful. Casting made some bad decisions. That "So you're a virgin" talk was so bad.

Why have George be so dumb -- giving Dani the security code? I hate that kind of writing.

Part of the mistake here isn't even the actor. Why have him still in the hospital? And walking around an IV? For what??? He would've been released after the concussion check. Instead we get Ashley (apparently with little nursing to do) meeting with Andre and his camera by the front desk. Why would Andre hang there?

Yeah, I know, he likes Ashley. Sorry, the whole thing is awkward as hell.

Dani... yawn.  One note character played by a one note actress.

Andre/Ashley/Derek = Not working

Hayley has potential, but I would love to see her mixing it up with other characters in town.. and not just isolated to Bill and Dani.

Tamara is a great actress.. is that why she's given the most cringey words to speak because she has the ability to make them sound good?

By far. I'm sad that I have to complain, but all the negatives mentioned here about today's show are true. Overall, it was bad. Carlivati's name on the script only gives those of us who dislike him a reason to nod our heads.

-- I want Dani to be crazyfun. I don't want her to be batsh_it crazy. I cannot tell what the writers are going for.

-- Why make Dani so insane...and so insanely stupid...as to go to Bill and Hayley's house with that gift? Why not have her do stealth things to get back at them?

-- I guess that honeymoon lasted less than 48 hours.

-- The Tomas actor is worse than the Derek actor. Ashley is not much better, and I still can't understand why Andre is hot for her.

-- The "weekly family dinner" where no one shows up? And Anita doesn't get pissed?

Today was a chore. When purse cat manages to give off more emotion than a majority of the humans in the scene, I should have known today was going to be an issue. 

I don't think is anything to Derek / Ashley / Andre story to invest in. I think the show might already be shifting to an Eva / Andre angle which would be in their best interest. I'd be much more intersted in trying out Andre / Shanice. I cannot really find any angle of the current configuration I enjoy. Andre / Dani doesn't feel longterm, to me, and I don't hate Andre in theory. He's just drifting, which makes sense to an extent because he is suppose to have spent so much time abroad. 

Dani getting the code from George the security guard was just dumb. I think there might have been a better angle to explore with Jan, Ashley's mother who cleans houses, if they had established she had been hired as she is already Team Dani. This is only going to get Dani deeper in trouble with her legal proceedings, but whatever. She seems very undeterred. I almost wish they would go really unhinged and have had her live streaming the whole thing to her merry cult of online worshippers. Initially, I thought leaving the bottle was actually going to lead to something cathartic, but then in just descended into another Dani moment. 

I like Kat, but the whole set up for her date was odd. At her parents house was a choice. I would rather they have just redecorated Ashley's studio for the occasion. Tomas is rough. I want to like their romance, but this first date just wasn't it for me. 

After a terrific set of episodes this week, to lose the energy on a Friday is a disappointment. Not having any follow up to Eva / Leslie today was probably the biggest disappointment.

I am quite aware of the family tree. Given that Eva's paternity isn't definitive yet and Andre was acting a bit shady week 1, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them isn't a Richardson. But considering the fact that Andre was raised as a surrogate son of Nicole and Ted, and he had no problem bedding down with Auntie Dani then I don't think the cousin angle is something that would give him the ick.

No one. Just like "which one of these things does not fit with the other?" To the thread. To anyone being too serious about a character that can function 100% successfully who is used to express heightened drama & camp. 2 extremes: golf club attack on property & woman weeping in an elevator.

Dani Dupree's Real Housewives tagline

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      Unpopular opinion, but the Chelsea coming out scene reeked of Afterschool Special and I really didn't care that we didn't see her coming out to her grandparents.  We were spared the 'We're Duprees and we're better than everyone' speech. As a gay person, I kind of like watching straight people acting all messy and cringey (which is why I probably have a soft spot for Ashley/Derek... and sometimes wish Jacob would take his balls back from his warden Naomi) LOL If the show were willing to take risks, I would think the Dani arc is basically a 2020's version of Betty Broderick... but I doubt Dani would actually shot/kill Bill and Hayley.  Though I do have a feeling that if Hayley is pregnant that Dani will cause to miscarry the baby.

      I don't think that's clever, though. Maybe the writers should forget about throwing shade and write dialogue and story for Ashley and Derek that isn't boring and doesn't paint them as boring.   I agree -- both of those still need a ton of work. I still say the fades to commercials look like someone walked past the camera and hit the OFF button.   Yep, this was regression in every way. Dani was all hopped up with Chelsea like she'd taken some party drug, and then it got worse when she literally broke into Bill and Hayley's house.   -- The fakeout scene was good, but I don't want them to go to that well too often. They're already in danger of doing that. -- I'm good with Brandon Claybon's acting style. It's different, but in a good way. -- It was an interesting turn to have Tyrell question Jessica's intentions. -- I didn't see anything special about the plated food on today's show. At Orphey Gene's, it looked like everyone had a plate of french fries.

      Diana's BSOD in Gary and Abby's hot tub is yet another gif-worthy moment.

      I'm sure once the next budget comes in, they'll develop another community lot.

      I agree; she's always spoken highly of her time on World Turns and how they treated her as a professional at that point.

      Who says they won't, though? I mean, Bill doesn't even know, yet, either.

      Julianne Moore has always spoken positively of her time on As the World Turns. She also had the good fortune of being on that show during the Calhoun/Marland era when it was at its creative peak. Hard to believe that April 2 was 40 years since Julianne Moore first As the World Turns episode.

      You forgot Uptown. They eat and meet up there too. And don't forget Kat & Tomas' date in the Richardson living room.

      Today was the Dani I can’t stand. She had been doing so good for a few weeks here.
