I was wondering who she was. She works fast.😂

Bo/Ciara and Bo/Hope screencaps are on the promo thread (Link)

Just like her father 😂😂😂😂

Ha ha, I thought that was Ceara with Doug³.

Also, nothing new about DOOL introducing a bad girl who sleeps with a dude within the first week.  See Joy, Sloan, Talia, Chanel, and any number of others.  It is very cliché.

Ari's grandfather Lucas' first episode was Sami discovering him having just had sex with a singer named Cherish.  Bryan Dattilo's first scene.

Why would it be Ciara with Doug III? 🤔

Poor eyesight + long dark hair + a cute upturned nose = mistaken for Ciara on first viewing

And, to be fair, Ciara has made questionable choices in the past.😉

No I literally thought it was Ciara too and was so confused 😂. From that angle it really looks like her.

I understand the confusion.
If Doug3 is really who he claims to be, then he and Ciara share Doug as a grandfather, so they'd be first cousins.
LOL, it's a fair point that Ciara has made questionable choices in the past.

I don't think the writers would choose direct biological incest...
but former and current writing regimes have made questionable choices -- with adoptive incest (Stephanie/Max, Chelsea/Max, and Stephanie/Alex.). . .

Julie is Hope's sister (and also Hope's stepmother).
Julie and Hope's mom Addie is sister to Lucas' father Bill.
Lucas is first cousin to Julie and Hope.
Arianna is granddaughter of Lucas.
Arianna and Julie are first-cousins-twice-removed.
Arianna and Hope are first-cousins-twice-removed.

If Doug3 is really Doug's grandson then...

• Julie is Doug3's stepgrandmother.
• Hope is the sister of Doug2 (Dougie LeClair aka Charles),
  so Hope is Doug3's aunt.

Julie is stepgrand to Doug3 via Doug.
and biologically related to Arianna via Lucas.

Hope is biologically related to Doug3 via Doug,
and biologically related to Arianna via Lucas.

But Doug3 and Arianna aren't biologically related to each other.

(How much time did I waste trying to figure that out? And I bet I still missed something.)

EDIT:   I forgot, DAYS had two bio-sibling storylines of almost-incest.
Marie and Tommy.  Lucas and Cassie.  But in both cases, the characters didn't know they were siblings, and learned just in time.

May 16th interview with Cherie Jimenez.   30 minutes long.

The first 17:30 minutes are spoiler-free, talking about her life, getting the role, learning the character, her acting style, etc.

Cherie says that Brandon Barash was very kind in welcoming her, especially since she wasn't familiar with everything at first.  Cherie also says that when she was first cast, she was coming out of postpartum depression and the producers were understanding.  It's very interesting!

The second portion discusses Arianna being cast, and working with Marissa who plays Arianna.
In that second portion, Cherie also discusses the recent JJ/Gabi scene in police interrogation, and working with Casey Moss.

The only new spoiler is that the interviewer mentions that when Ari first comes home, Gabi goes into Ari's room to check on her, but she's not in her room.
