I love that Bill called Vernon out on the Duprees’ bullshit. He’s easily becoming one of the characters I’m rooting for, which I would have never thought. I might take some flak for this, but I wonder what Dani did to drive him away.

Bill made the Duprees look like 🤡🤡🤡

This flashback of Dani remembering talking to Bill after Naomi's wedding...
what Dani wore back then in the flashback ...

Karla's wardrobe: the same dress she wore as a presenter at the NAACP Image Awards on Feb. 22

 

Good memory!

I'm sure Bill was in that typical midlife crisis era in his life. Lacking real excitement and a real reason to live.

Well of course, Jamey couldn’t live without his Lord and Savior 🤮🤮🤮

As glad as I am that he’s off Days, I’m so sorry y’all.

Be prepared for constant stupid jokes, weak resolutions and justifications and piss poor dialogue. 

If BTG starts to tank, we know who blame, MVJ for hiring these two idiots.

Yeah… somebody really should’ve sent her the poison scripts episode 😂

Yeah, I know we've all covered the heavy exposition issue but it remains an issue for me.  So much of the dialogue plays really well and then it just comes to a thud.  I was looking back at early/first episodes of other soaps and none of them seemed this bad in that respect (ya ya I get that it's a different day and age, etc, although that also means that if people are curious about how characters are related and other issues, they could go to a well designed webpage.)  Even on Monday when Nicole called Dani "little sister" at one point (and yes, I get that maybe they have a relationship where she always calls her little sister) it sounded forced to me.  I have a twin sister who I never ever ever would call "twin sister" when talking to her.

There was also a lot of this with Dani/Jacob “mother in law” “son in law” laid down thick. I recently was rewatching Sunset Beach from the beginning and they did a much better job of showing how everyone was connected in a more natural way instead of this heavy explanation that, like you said, brings the scenes to a thud. Granted, SuBe wasn’t based around one big extended family where they really have to show how everyone is connected but surely there’d be a better way! I keep thinking back to Wendy Williams as the gossipy tv host on OLTL, something like that to almost narrate under the guise of this prominent family, or the way they have the gossipy nurse, there could also be an upstairs/downstairs type of situation with perhaps a new member of staff at the country club being shown the ropes and given the full run down by an OG Fairmont Crest staffer, just little scenes to help us link people together while letting the main characters focus on the action without taking their feet off the gas to tell us who their mother in law is etc.

MVJ is gonna make sure her scripts are top notch

I thought the press conference was sort of silly.  They're trying too hard to excuse Dani and let her go free and it's just too unbelievable... I almost wished they just did away with the live stream because it ultimately didn't help or change anything in the end.

I agree. If people care enough about her pulling the gun, wouldn’t they already know the story of how Bill and Haley got together?

How tall is Bill? Bc damn, he makes Haley look like a member of the Lollipop Guild.

Andre is so ridiculously sexy, Jesus Christ.

That flashback IMO showed how much Bill loved Dani, so I wonder how it all went to sh*t

Other than the Hayley affair I mean lol

YES. To me, the bigger issue is that almost every man has a beard, making it harder to remember who's who. To be fair, I had the same issue with Game of Thrones.

I'm not giving up my own halfbeard/halfstubble look anytime soon, and I know they're on trend, but that's another good point.  I just feel like SO much thought has been put into the looks and differences that those looks convey with the women (and understandably so) that... barely any at all has been put into the men who are all just slightly varying degrees of traditionally handsome and basic good dressers.
