“How is the previous ball and chain?” Dani snarked at Invoice after he got here out of Hayley’s room. Mosley’s Dani by no means fails to strike out at Invoice, nevertheless it’s at all times clear that she’s coming from a spot of harm.
Durrett performed Invoice as having had sufficient of Dani going after his spouse. He’s a bodily imposing determine, however the actor knew he solely wanted to make use of his phrases to get Dani to know actuality. As an alternative of elevating his voice and blasting his former partner, Durrett had his character ship some pointed remarks.

“Hayley and the infant are doing nice,” Invoice knowledgeable his ex, holding eye contact together with her in an effort to ensure his message landed. “Due to you, Dani. We’re each so grateful that you just received her right here to the hospital.”
There was no want for Invoice to go on the assault with that line. He knew that that’s what he wanted to say and that Dani wanted to listen to within the hopes that she’d lastly cease the accusations that Hayley had been faking her being pregnant.
In a continued effort to ensure Dani opened her eyes, Invoice added that Hayley was experiencing mere cramps. “I’m positive you keep in mind that,” Invoice mentioned. “Proper, Dani? Although it has been just a few many years in the past for you.” (Ouch!)

We’ve seen many scenes crammed with rigidity between Dani and Invoice since Past the Gates premiered. Nonetheless, their encounter on the hospital was a standout as a wave of actuality swept over Dani. Bravo to Mosley and Durrett for his or her performances!
And it’s not over but. What Dani didn’t notice as she headed for the steps was that Hayley refused the ultra-sound throughout her go to to the hospital. Why would she try this? Hmm…
