I wish we knew the reason why Hayley is faking this pregnancy. This show never likes to let us in on the secrets, we have to find them out as the other characters do... which is fine and effective sometimes, but not all the times.

I feel like they've shown us in bits but it seems to me that she just wants attention. She's very isolated with Bill and has no friends or family. As Bill has improved his relationship with Naomi and Dani, it's causing her more insecurity which led to the faked pregnancy to put the attention back on herself.

I'm cackling lmfao

🤣

that dosnt track with me. why fake a pregnancy instead of actually getting pregnant?

The only thing I can think when it comes to that is just pure stupidity. There is no long term way she could've faked a pregnancy so I don't see what her thinking was beyond temporary attention.

I wonder if Hayley went to the office late at night and placed that box in the office so she'd know where it was, but Bill and Caroline wouldn't notice it when they arrived.  Perhaps Hayley placed it strategically so that she'd have something to trip over? Perhaps she's been planning this "miscarriage" all along?  Timed to be so that she'd start "bleeding" when Bill would be out of town on his planned business trip?

But now she's scrambling because Bill wants to see a live ultrasound tomorrow morning before he leaves on his trip.

Months ago, there were speculations on this board that Ashley's mother Jan once dated Joey Armstrong.  It wouldn't have occurred to me until I read those posts.   Watching today, it seems like whoever posted that theory might be right.

Perhaps Vanessa is in the situation where Jan once was long ago?

I posted that; but to clarify, I hope that's not true.  I would prefer it if they're doing a parallel between Vanessa and Jan, but that Jan's bad man was someone other than Joey.  I really don't want Joey to have any ties to the canvas-- I want him gone ASAP.

LOL!

But ugh, this storyline is taking a weird turn. Doug just quit and wants to now be a money laundering king that rivals Joey? I don't know that we needed to go down that path, but if Doug isn't a contract player, maybe this will lead to his death?

Either his demise OR it might lead to him actually earning his place in the opening credits.

The final scene from yesterday August 4.

No pregnant woman is going to fall down hard on the floor and then decline to go to the doctor. Hayley is definitely not pregnant.

Ashley just wants Andre's money. All that talk about travel is proof of that.

Doug is coming unglued and is going to get himself hurt.

Jan!!!  See, just got to talk about it and they'll eventually come.

Jacob and Derek post-gym is nice   

I was posting about Jan a few days ago wondering what her take was on Derek/Ashley.. and I guess she appeared

Jan doesn't have to worry about Andre taking Ashley anywhere because of his work. That man has been in town for damn near 6 months and ain't book a gig yet and he can't hold a camera worth a damn. At this point, Andre is just using Ashley to eventually get on her nurse health insurance. He must have blown through all his money on women and drugs while abroad. 

Yesterday's episode was fine. I wasn't as wowed by it as some of yall, and today was okay too. 

Joey/Vanessa/Doug still don't care. 

Surprisingly, I am interested in whatever stunt Hayley is trying to pull here. I do admire the nevre and audacity of this woman wearing skin tight clothing while faking a whole pregnancy.

Bill said something like "Thanks for pulling these Atlanta files," while Caroline had the box on her lap. Caroline then sets it down next to the chair. 

Hayley definitely didn't plan for the box to be there, but it's still possible she saw the box and fell intentionally.

Ah, okay thanks.
