I get the feeling they designed very specific sets from the start with the budget and that those doesn't lend themselves to easy redressing. They probably could use a generic apartment set that's isn't very specific-looking and the police office probably should've been designed a bit blander to easier double as a office set for Naomi and so on. 

Do we know if Doug and Vanessa's bedroom was an actual specific set or a redressed one? 

I doubt and hope they wouldn't build a bedroom set for Doug and Vanessa for that singular scene. They honestly could have used Dani's bedroom or Naomi/Jacob's swap out some furniture and dim those lights low and it would have done the trick. 

I don't think Naomi needs an office at this point. Besides June, we aren't really seeing much of her work in action and I don't see characters just popping up at her place of work.

I am pretty sure we have; I think Tyrell's bedroom is the dining area just redressed/filmed tightly to appear as if it is a separate set.

To me, Orphey Gene's is the answer to Y&R's Crimson Lights; as for Java, the original set was beautiful (so small by the end) and it seemed the shift on the Diner was more used in those final years.

Oh wow! Great eye. I always wondered why the scenes in Tyrell's room were filmed that way. Made it seem like his room was a walk-in closet.

Yes and Deadline refers to the exiting writer as "Frank Carlivati".

MVJ: Ron, Bob Guza and Chris Dunn all agreed to come on to help me launch the series. Now they’re off to do other things. There’s no animosity. I’m so grateful to have had their knowledge and their humor and their contribution, and I can’t say enough about them.

Edited July 29Jul 29 by janea4old

So yeah as we thought Ron, Guza and Dunn were all there to help her get the show launched and that's it

Deadline article contains spoilers. Decide to read or not depending on if you want to see spoilers.

Non-spoiler info from deadline:

DEADLINE: I want to jump right into a storyline that’s been so provocative — the one involving Martin [played by Brandon Claybon] and how he was attacked on that deserted country road. An offensive slur was used by his attackers.

VAL JEAN: I decided to go down that road because I wanted to show something that happens that you’d never see on daytime. It happens. It’s like people being recast. It happens. I’m telling a story from the Black experience. A lot of it based around a Black family who is privileged and wealthy, but at the end of the day, they can still be accosted on the side of the road by racists. It’s shocking and I meant it to be very shocking, and I think production and the actors did an amazing job. It was controversial, but I don’t think controversial is wrong. It’s hard to be that right now. And so I give all credit to the network for standing behind it and believing in it. And as far as whether stories like that kind of live on in the psyche of this world that I’ve created, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some repercussions down the line. Martin still has a lot of healing to do because he’s sublimated so much of that because he had to. Nicole still has a lot to work out because she’s so angry at being left out, and she feels like she could have helped him and her role as a psychiatrist. Vernon and Anita, even though they felt like they did what they had to do at the time by covering it up, are now feeling the repercussions of that. Now another guy is dead and now they’re in debt to Joey Armstrong. So yeah, the tentacles do live on.

DUCKSWORTH: The Martin storyline is just real. And that’s what we’re looking to give our viewers.  Realness on every level.

DEADLINE: Maryland is right next to DC. Will we ever know who their president is in this world?

VAL JEAN: No. I want to stay away from politics in the show as much as I can with a Black congressman, but I want this show to be entertaining, not polarizing.

TBF, they live in a townhouse, so it makes sense that they have maybe a big master bedroom with smaller adjacent rooms. I guess you can reason that Tyrell's bedroom is directly above the living room corner area lol. I think it's a smart way to use the set either way, especially as I doubt Tyrell's bedroom will feature that often. 

Cheers to 100th episode milestone.
