This marriage to Andre (Sean Freeman) is causing many issues for Dani (Karla Mosley) and Andre. In Monday’s episode, Dani's parents have a tense sit-down with her and Andre. Dani and Andre have decided to stay married and not have it annulled, which is causing the entire family to lose their minds. Can Vernon and Anita change the couple's minds, or will they remain resolute and defy all in the name of love?

In Monday's episode, Nicole is caught off guard by a romantic gesture. Ted (Keith D.

The proverbial bad penny

That’s one name for her; the other is Fairmont Crest's very own WMD, In Monday's episode, Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) is riding high, and Eva (Ambyr Michelle) realizes her mama is up to no good again. Whenever Leslie is in the best of moods, everyone should watch out; it means she is most certainly up to no good. Whether the target is Anita, Nicole, or any other of the Dupree family, let’s not forget her intense dislike for Kat (Colby Muhammed). Leslie is compelling to watch as she maneuvers around the law and the Duprees. We are at the start of a brand new week in Fairmont Crest. We have Jacob's (Jibre Hordges) brother, Izaiah (David Lami Friebe), arriving in town. The black sheep of the family is bound to stir trouble, and the end of the week features a crossover with CBS's The Bold and the Beautiful’s Ridge Forrester, played by Thorsten Kaye.
