What's wrong with the frat boy look?   Frat boys can be hot

Indeed. 

Has Chelsea spoken to Dani about the marriage?

Or Chelsea and Naomi discussed it?

Certain interactions are missing.

We need to see relevant characters reactions. That is Soap 101.

Every time I see the Hamilton living room I shudder. Literally every aspect is wrong.

The fact that someone got paid to design the Hamilton living room and they literally air it regularly is a crime.

One of the things I appreciate about this show is how sex-positive it is. I don’t understand half of what these folks are doing to and/or with each other but this is the world we live in now. 😀

It is very refreshing; it is not censoring anything, nor is it treating the audience of dumb-dumbs who cannot handle a bit of that kind of language/discussion.

My guess has been that the Hamilton home was designed to reflect the poor taste of Hayley and Bill. Hayley has worn some tacky, garish outfits and Bill is a man's man who would have questionable taste in furniture.

Thank you. It’s meant to me tacky and a reflection of the characters lol

What an insult to Morrow to compare Gavin to him.

And then there was two. Well, three. 

I was not expecting the defense of Joshua Morrow but I'm sticking to my guns.

Alex Alegria is BtG's Ronn Moss. Ben Gavin is BtG's Joshua Morrow.

It's so bad that I have no words. Not one element of that room speaks money or class.

Bill's office is nice, so I don't know that I'd blame him for that living room disaster. I guess it's all on tacky Hayley. Everything looks like it came from the Walmart clearance aisle.

-- Ben Gavin has a good moment here and there -- among some very awkward moments that do not work. I'm not calling for a recast, but he needs to improve.

-- I don't see the comparison between Ben Gavin and Joshua Morrow except that they're both good looking. Was Morrow rough when he started? Yes, but he was much younger then than Gavin is now. By Ben Gavin's age, Josh Morrow was doing much better work.

-- We've done this before. JM regularly is raked over the coals on this board, and I step in to defend him, and no, it's not just because he's hot.

-- Morrow nails the Nick character perfectly. Is he playing himself? Maybe -- but he's also playing Nick. The guy is always prepared, always knows his lines, is generous to other actors, and never phones it in. I don't get the criticism.

-- Why is calling Morrow a frat boy a criticism anyway? Nick is a frat boy -- and always has been. The casting was perfect.

Why "Poor Ben"? Joshua Morrow has been on Y&R for 31 years. Sounds like he'd be a good role model for Ben Gavin.

Yea I kinda see that, but I think Bill and Hayley both having been around the Duprees would have more of an idea of what constitutes 'good taste'.

And they mentioned Hayley used a designer.

I guess maybe the set designer went overboard with the brief. It doesn't look garish and expensive- which it should be- just tacky and cheap. 

And the room itself is too small with no windows and that table and chairs that are squashed in at the entrance

And the opposite (but nowhere as bad) is Nicole's house which is supposed to be restrained and minimalist but comes off to me as bland and lifeless.

Yep. The set design on Gates is hit-and-miss, but really is more miss than hit, at least for the characters' residences.

This is cute 😊

LOL - that was cute. It's things like this that really make me love the actors and characters even more.
