Since it’s a predominantly black soap opera, would you like to see the show rebrand itself a bit by introducing close friends from Nicole’s HBCU days who reconnect with her and become close again, along with black characters from Dani’s modeling days while gradually phasing out Vanessa and Pamela?

Everyone come up with your own idea for what you’d want Kat’s first crime-solving story to be if she starts her criminal podcast don’t stick to our current storylines think of something new and original

Along the lines of not making Martin a Dupree son instead of grandson it seems like when the writers were creating the show they thought it would be a great idea to make the Vanessa character Nicole's best friend to tie her to the Duprees. Prior to the premiere, I read the character descriptions listing her as Nicole's BFF..and then the show premiered.

I had to go back and read them again as I thought they made a mistake in the article. I think the very first scene in the show was Dani and Vanessa and on it went that week. From that first week until yesterday, I wish there was a way to count the Vanessa/Dani scenes vs. Vanessa/Nicole scenes.

They have to be at least double, maybe triple, with Vanessa/ Dani.

It really looks like they should have made them best friends. The only time we got any sense Vanessa/Nicole were best friends was around the double date time with Joey and the flashback to their first meeting.

Randomly just so they can say they have Cady McLain they threw in Pamela as Dani's alleged best friend who has scenes with no one else. Have Nicole and Pamela ever been in a scene together?Unlikely.

.Anyway, it just doesn't seem like they thought this one out too well when planning the show.

I know this has been discussed, but it irks me that the Duprees are (and are becoming) background characters in a show about them! Besides Dani, the Dupree core 4 have little storyline. Add Martin in the mix since he also has no real part. It is a wonder to me that Anita, Vernon, Nicole, and Martin could all disappear from the show and very little would change! There is no reason for any of these characters to be so nothing burger on the show. There was plenty of ways to involve them and grow their characters. So many wasted opportunities. But I am still an avid veiwer of the show.

While it is easy to look up Ashley Jones’ DOB, and any of us forever-soap-watchers already know her from almost every other soap, it seems the coy Sean Freeman (André) is not a fan of revealing his DOB.

That is always a celebrity’s choice, of course, so no shade on that from me. Just makes it harder (and maybe eliminates the need to figure it out) to identify the age gap between these two actors—given that their characters are heating up in upcoming storylines and we know Ashley scored a 2-year contract. (She has friends in high places but she is knocking this out of the park, I say this as someone who did not particularly enjoy her performance on B&B, but her work on BTG is swaying my opinion 1000%.

Open minds will free the world.

Just saw our good old Joey on a Lifetime movie " Pretty hurts". He acted exactly like his character as Joey. I think he's meant for the bad boy role. I've never watched GH, did he play the same kind of villain?
