The much-anticipated first day of shooting for Body & Soul is finally here, but it’s anything but smooth sailing for Abe, Kate, and Leo.
As they battle behind the scenes to keep things together, drama brews both on and off the set.
Meanwhile, Chanel and Alex reconsider an old fling for the good of the show, and tensions rise between Bonnie and Hattie as they fight for the coveted role of queen.
Rowing the Boat: Abe, Kate, and Leo Face a Steep Challenge
Abe, Kate, and Leo are quickly learning that getting Body & Soul on its feet is far from easy. While they thought pre-production was tough, the actual filming process is proving even more grueling.
It’s not just the actors that are causing them headaches — the creative team has its own struggles to manage.
Johnny, the director, initially refused to allow his wife, Chanel, to shoot a steamy scene with her ex-lover. However, after Chanel gave him a piece of her mind, Johnny has changed his stance — again.
Now, he expects Kate, Abe, and Leo to make last-minute adjustments to accommodate his new vision. Unsurprisingly, Kate isn’t exactly thrilled with this constant back-and-forth.
Off-Screen Drama: Chanel and Alex Revisit Their Complicated History
While Johnny grapples with his directorial indecision, Chanel and Alex have their own complex feelings to sort through.
Years ago, they shared a brief but passionate fling that included a threesome, though it never blossomed into a serious relationship.
Despite this, the pair are now open to the idea of rekindling their physical chemistry — all in the name of the show, of course.
However, both insist there’s nothing more to it. Alex has no romantic feelings for Chanel, just as he claims to have none for Stephanie.
Meanwhile, Stephanie, who is haunted by strange dreams involving bears, peacocks, and showers, is far more preoccupied with sorting out her own subconscious thoughts than focusing on Alex.
She’ll have plenty to share with Jada about the bizarre imagery that’s been occupying her mind.
Open Options: Uncertainty Between Chanel, Alex, and Stephanie
Chanel and Alex may be considering revisiting their fling, but they remain adamant that it’s strictly for professional reasons.
Alex continues to downplay any romantic inclinations, maintaining that his interest lies only in making Body & Soul a success.
Stephanie, on the other hand, is caught in a swirl of confusing dreams that seem to reflect her inner conflict. Despite their complicated history, both Alex and Stephanie are keeping things casual — for now.
Catfight: Bonnie and Hattie Battle for Queen of Body & Soul
The fight for the spotlight is heating up as Bonnie and Hattie go head-to-head for the title of queen of Body & Soul.
Both women are determined to take the crown, but there can only be one queen, and neither is willing to back down.
In this round, it seems that Hattie has the upper hand, and she wastes no time rubbing her apparent victory in Bonnie’s face. Of course, knowing Bonnie, she won’t let this slide without putting up a fierce fight of her own.
