Do we need a hotline for this? Or are we good like the adults we're supposed to be?

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 don't think you're reading too much into it. I was immediately struck when Andre used the word "painkiller" -- and then used it a second time. Why not say aspirin? Or even "Here's something for that headache"? I mean, who takes painkillers for a hangover?

That had to be intentional. If it wasn't, it was a major error on the part of the writers.

A man giving pain killers to a woman who has passed out (or nearly passed out) without her permission, AND while the woman is completely drunk on alcohol???  Alcohol and pain killers at the same time??  Seriously, either these actions need to lead to some consequence, or this some very irresponsible writing.

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.

Dont forget Chelsea swinging bc it feels as if the writers forgot about that too

Fck these hoes! After all that they decide to settle. Which means since this settlement comes in after they switched lawyers, Naomi won't get the money for the pro bono work. Id cuss them out and leave them with the bill

I know Martin gets heat for being strict but I like him checking his kids. They disrespectful AF and need to be disciplined. Smitty is too soft

Who is this Dr in the back?

"Its none of my business but is something going on at home?" Love that she is intervening even though it is not her business

And who is this nosy doctor? He about to get Doug in trouble

 I know her only from Y&R and DAYS, where I thought she was overwrought and over-the-top far too often.

Yeah, I didn't like her Kelly. I enjoyed her a Jennifer but I did notice a lot of negative feedback during her tenure.

I am simply not fascinated by the majority of these characters right now.

How about telling us more about his deceased parents and other possible backgrounds.

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.

I expected to care more about some of them. I am fascinated with a handful of them. I agree with you, most of the characters had decent descriptions that have not come tofruition, just yet.

You're right, Andre would be more fleshed out if the writers gave him more scenes to speak about the loss of his parents. 

Kat vs. Eva is probably the best thing that got going at the moment. It's a typical soap for sure, but it works. It all comes down to storytelling and characters to make it interesting. 

Like you, I wanted them to be more edgy, and push the envelope with their stories and characters. It's still time…

There really should have been a Dupree son to serve as a rival to Bill. If not that they should have given Naomi an older law partner or mentor who doubled as a father type figure. That would certainly aggravate Bill. 

I could see that.

 And love or hate Dani, it's so...hmmm true to life that someone who is so beautiful, so passionate, and have pedigree, too...sees herself as so unlovable. That really and truly resonated with me. And I'm sure anyone who has felt unloved even when they have no reason to could feel that scene. And to see someone NOT her dad or an immediate family member tell her. 

It resonated with me. I understand that part of Dani all too well. I just hope they don't make her this powerful businesswoman too soon. They could set a goal but it should be a long road for Dani to reach IMO.

This is one of the rare times that I side with the husband and mistress.  

That was a great choice to not make Bill this evil cheating husband.

I mean who would step up as a worthy rival opponent for Bill? Is there anyone on the current canvas?

I do not see anyone at the moment. 

I thought that was Samantha
