Umbrella...

Took me a while to form an opinion of the new regime, but I'm glad to report it's positive. They seem to be creating umbrella stories, and planning things in advance. Though it appears I'm one of the few, I'm really enjoying the Erica/Caleb/Cortlandt Electronics developments. I see nothing but great potential in the many directions these could go. I don't know if this is a possible pair, but Caleb and Opal have some good chemistry going on. Wonder how Palmer would feel if things happen the way I hope?

Christina Bennett Lind is wasting little time winning me over. Her Bianca is strong, self-assured, and assertive. It was obvious right out of the gate that Christina has acting ability. Quite a refreshing change from most new to daytime. Am excited to watch her mature, blossom, and take Bianca in a new direction. Hope the writing stays true to the character's core.

Thumbs up all around so far. It seems everyone involved with the show is working to keep it viable. I know we're still in the honeymoon phase with these new writers, but their material is far from a Pratt catastrophe. If you can inspire good performances from your actors, keep stories somewhat grounded in reality, and integrate everyone believably, it's all good with me.
