But didn't Dani give up modelling when she married Bill,like 20 years ago?

Why would Pamela still be her bestie when their lives went in different directions decades ago?

And Bill insisted Dani give up modelling, right? And she acquiesced?

I agree with all of that. I know the Cady stans are out there, but I'm not down for adding a character and making it up as they go along. CM is clearly an add-on -- and someone we won't see all that often. It comes off like a favor to give her a job.

The excuses like "Hopefully, it'll all get straightened out" are never made for other soaps, and I'm not accepting that here. Pamela will be gone again before anything is straightened out.

Maybe the problem is that I don't know Cady from her ABC soap days. I know her only from Y&R and DAYS, where I thought she was overwrought and over-the-top far too often.

They had a professional relationship when Pamela was her agent but it’s obvious they built and maintained a friendship after that. I don’t think they were besties when Pam was working for her

Not sure that Andre is quite finished with Ashley yet. That aside Andre gave Dani painkillers and that definitely was not good. I just don't see him as this noble, great character that Dani is dragging down.

He still has an infatuation with her but he's not acting on it and has since hung out with Derek and gotten to know them both as a couple. Things may change, but he's actually been shown to respect them now and move past what he felt for her. And did he give Dani painkillers bc I dontt think that was mentioned. I was iffy on what he had her take but it seemed more like something to help with her hangover. It wasnt nefarious like he was trying to harm her

All I can say is that the nitty-gritty needs to be gotten down to come next month. I am simply not fascinated by the majority of these characters right now.

Dani and Andre: Constantly having sex is NOT a storyline. She’s become obnoxious and he's still a big mystery. How about telling us more about his deceased parents and other possible backgrounds.

The Dupree matriarch and patriarch: They are king and queen of the show, but somehow even they are coming up short.

Are they dropping plot lines left and right? Bill vs. Naomi is now a no go. Martin is no longer interested in running for president and he's no longer all over Smitty about returning to work. Dropping plot lines already as a brand new show ain't good.

Kat and Eva: I know quite a few people are liking this potential sibling rivalry, but it’s just too ordinary for me, like "been there done that" a million times before.

The bottomline for me is I'd like to see some huge surprises and stepping more outside of the box.

How about focusing less on this silly product placement and focusing more on these characters.

I didn't post it because of the persons who bought Febreze. That's not relevant to me.

I posted it because, if you see at the bottom of the image, Febreze replied to the tweet.   Just sayin' that BTG viewers are buying P&G products and P&G is noticing.  Well, maybe it was a generic reply from Febreze that they'd tweet to any consumer.  But still, I hope that P&G is noticing.

It was odd that Andre asked Dani if she wanted another painkilller.  He could have said "aspirin" or something.  Perhaps this was intended to be an over-the-counter mild headache remedy for a hangover, such as aspirin or ibuprofen but they avoided using a brand name? Or maybe they intentionally avoided specifying anything medical?

But saying "painkiller" made it sound like a prescription narcotic, which what I thought at first, but then I soon realized that was likely just aspirin or ibuprofen.

But then looking again at the bottle, it looked like it might be a prescription?  And the pills were orange. Does Dani have a hangover remedy in her bedroom, that Andre knows about?  I don't think he brought it with him?  Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

    • I vaguely recall it surfaced on either TNT or TBS around 1993 or so but I could be wrong about the channel. By 1997 when this article was written Knots was still airing on TNT, Dallas was on the old TNN network (which today is Paramount), and Dynasty was on…well I don’t even recall now but feel like it was either E!  or Bravo. TNN ran Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas together in the evenings for years surprised they didn’t just pick up FC to resurrect the trifecta. 
    • I think you're thinking of the dress she wore on April 15 from her Ebony cover shoot when Andre had to put her in bed.
    • @Maximthank you for such a thoughtful reply. I have printed it out so I have it with me as I watch most of the soap clips on the YT app on my TV. I've always wanted to get into Edge of Night, but I didn't no where to start.
    • Laugh-In was also before my time, but I loved watching her when Nick at Nite and TV Land ran repeats. She was also on Sesame Street for years. So vibrant. One of those people I've never heard bad word of. Sorry to hear that.
    • Amazing resource. Thank you! I'm pretty confident that she's worn it before. I'll look into it. That or I'm having some serious deja vu. 
    • Other than Soapnet I am trying to remember if I ever even saw it in syndication. I know I saw Dallas, Knots and Dynasty in syndication before Soapnet.
    • Dani's dress  https://wornontv.net/511259/ Brand page: https://onalaja.com/en-us/products/zusi-maxim-dress about the company: https://onalaja.com/en-us/pages/brand-story I don't think she has worn it before, this is her wardrobe so far: https://wornontv.net/beyond-the-gates/dani-dupree/
    • The preemptions helped me catch up. Watched the last two episodes today. Obviously fantastic stuff. Martin's acting was really great when he was confronting Ted. He's finally clickin. The look on Naomi and Chelsea's faces when Silk Press talked about Bill... but was she telling the truth? This does explain what I always wondered which is why Silk Press didn't just sue for child support. Hayley all scandalized that Ted had an affair like she isn't a ho. Vanessa all scandalized that Ted had an affair like she isn't a ho, and Doug being like "ummm... ?" but Vanessa having kind of a point, and this setting up a good dynamic that Doug isn't that cool with the arrangement (and, the B&B of it all, with the A storyline going and the B characters sitting around talking about it). That guy popping up to say "that much is true!" about Eva being locked in the closet. Nicole's understated acting and Eva's emotion. Ted not being able to handle Eva at the moment, but you get the sense he's not closed off to her completely. Andre and Eva's unexpected bonding was nice. The point made to Dani that she shouldn't be upset because Ted technically did what she wanted from Bill which was to recommit himself to the family after the affair.  
    • Also, where has Dani worn this dress before? I recognize it, because the first time she had it on I was like why is my girl wearing party streamers. Then when I saw it yesterday, I was a little surprised that they were having Dani who pulls out 4 episodes in a single episode repeat a outfit so soon.
