I see Ted and Shanice are back on the chasity couch in his office.

This whole “Smitty is being framed” story is so lackluster. I’m curious as to how Dani and Bill boinking in the elevator is still going to come into play with Bill/Hayley. I fast forwarded anything to do with Ted and Shanice’s engagement. That’s a shame The only thing that held my interest during this episode was Tyrell/Jessica/Belleclaire drama.

The show doesn’t want to pit any of the Duprees against each other for too long, hence why we aren’t getting Kat/Jacob/Naomi which would spin months or even years worth of story.

I guess I’ll tune in for today’s episode. BTG is one of those soaps where I find myself tuning out during those weeks where it’s clearly in a lull but I have no problem tuning back in for the culmination of a storyline. It shouldn’t be that way but it is for most soaps unfortunately.

The show could've had story threads coming from the cotillion but opted not to. Nathan could’ve drunkenly ended up in an accident involving one of the Richardson kids, or more could’ve spun from Nathan and Jessica sleeping together. But nope..we got Tyrell and Jessica getting tattoos … The show plays it too safe.

I wish we had seen the led up to Lia’s demise. Smitty visited her? Ok. Show it. Missed opportunity to not up the stakes and have Lia’s killer also cross paths with Smitty. The interrogation scenes today would’ve greatly benefited from showing and not just telling us what led up to it. Who cares about some death that took place offscreen.

Don’t mind the actor, but the canvas seems full of young males his age range and not enough characters to pair him up with

I think the show rushed through Kat and Martin reconciliation after he said some uncalled for and nasty things to her after the tornado bc she didn’t instantly want to go under there knife for Eva.

More Kat vs Hayley PLEASE! Kat had a bunch of great one liners aimed at the trophy wife. 😆

Love an episode penned by these two, always quite entertaining.

I haven’t been 100% sold on Keith D. Robinson’s version of Ted since he took over, but I was really sold on him having it to here with Leslie’s shenanigans in that scene.

Cautiously optimistic. Jamey at least has passion for the genre and understands Y&R’s history. Dan was the better part of a writing team that had some hits or misses. I think Dan can keep Jamey grounded. I’ll definitely be tuning in which is something I have not been able to say at all during Josh’s run.

I’m just going to say it; I preferred Guza’s influence on the show compared to Thompsons. I still watch day to day, but it could be better, writing/pacing could be miles better. I always thought the show should’ve given Leslie her Alan Spaulding or Eric Forrester so to say. Both Annie and Sheila were given a chance to have their wildest dreams come true with these men, only in the end to mess it up (with their arch nemesis working to undermine them). Missed opportunity yet again to possibly have a rival family or rival for Vernon at least, who falls head over heels for Leslie and she ultimately messes things up with her obsession with Ted or trying to cover up her prior misdeeds.

Well hopefully he can go back to Days… The show should’ve made one of Nicole’s suitors The Impaler or at least connected to the plasma ring.

The only thing Jean P is known for is being a hack. Keep her far away from this soap.
