A new week on our favorite sudser and in Mondays episode, Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) and Dani (Karla Mosley) discuss the pull they still feel towards their exes when in crisis. As we have seen, when the chips are down, Dani still turns to Bill (Timon Kyle Durett), and he makes himself available to assist, as he should, even at the risk of irking his con artist/wannabe murderer wife, Hayley (Marquita Goings). As for Nicole, she seems to have softened a little towards Ted (Keith D. Robinson), which is likely to be very short-lived.

BRCA Gene

In Mondays episode, Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) needs medical advice from Madison (Kenjah McNeil). The scary thing for the young Duprees is that the BRCA Gene might have been inherited from their mothers, and if so, they will need to take action. Chelsea arms herself with knowledge from her partner.

A Rough Start to the Day

Kat (Colby Muhammed) could do with reading the book “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” In Monday's episode, Kat has a rough morning while Jacob (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) spy a suspicious duo. The list of suspicious people in Fairmont Crest grows faster than a weed. There is no shortage of pairings that could fall into this category. Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) and Marcel (Darryl W. Handy), or Randy (Maurice P. Kerry) and Hayley (Marquita Goings), top the list, and both are shifty.

Make sure to check out The Scoop and The Next Week Sneak Peek for a deeper look into what’s to come this week and what you have to look forward to from your favorite characters and not-so-favorite characters in the DMV. First, look forward to a vibrant explosion of culture as Anita Dupree defies her diagnosis by transforming the mansion into a spectacular Mardi Gras bash. Focusing on family and resilience, she proves you cannot keep a Dupree woman down with grand costumes and New Orleans spirit.

However, the festivities clash with a sobering reality. The second massive storyline delivers the life-changing genetic test results for Dani and Nicole. With Anita (Tamara Tunie) also officially starting medical treatment, spoilers warn that the news is dire. It is a gripping week of defiant celebration and drama in Fairmont Crest.
