directly related to the problem with this show. To many stories going on at once requiring too many extremely large sets, so rather than dismantle them completely, they simply broke them into small versions of the originals. Right now we’re seeing the DiMera and Kiriakis "studies" rather than the full mansions. Also, with the show moving so quickly (compared to other soaps), they have to set up and break down sets quickly, so a good deal of the original sets have been downsized, but I read that they’re still around. We’ll probably view dfferent parts of the original sets as the s/l calls for from time to time.
As for Anne, she was so funny on Friday at the new club. Still, she’s comic relief only, so unless they give her some kind of backstory or give her a man of her own, she remains simply a prop for Theresa, and after a while it gets stale. The actress’ lines are funny though, and her dance moves on Friday made me laugh out loud.
