DAYS: April 2025 Discussion Thread
So bizarre to pen a “Whodunnit?” on your way out the door. I wonder what backstage going ons possessed Ron to go with this story, and as someone said upthread it seems rushed, sloppily put together, and not really thought out.

BTG: April 2025 Discussion Thread
I think Dani will have to hit absolute rock bottom first before realizing her true calling(be it modeling or a tv show host). Meaning we’ll have to sit thru this alcoholism storyline and her realizing once and for all she doesn’t need Bill (probably at the conclusion of this drinking story) before she can truly tackle a career path that’s right for her.

LATEST RATINGS: March 17-21, 2025
Let’s be honest here BTG was not going to debut at #1 or #2 in Total viewers or Households. It should go without stating that soaps like B&B, RH, DAYS, and AMC took multiple years to build their audience. BTG has solid demos and that’s a foundation on which they can build on. I’m quite impressed with these and the effect the show is having on the rest of the line up.

Very strong week with the Avani stuff, and the show playing all the right beats with Phil and Linda recovering from individually hitting rock bottom.

DAYS: Janet Spellman-Drucker Retiring | Noel Maxam New Co-EP
Noel has come a long way from his days at Y&R. Sad I don’t have faith in anything changing.

Just a prediction; further down the road they’re definitely going to go there with Jacob and Hayley! I’m all for it and the ripple effects it will have, especially for Bill. Naomi and Bill give me Victor Newman/Victoria vibes and I just love it. Circling back to Naomi and Jacob I think Martins secret and it’s obvious public revelation is going to be what splits the two apart, especially if Jacob is forced to arrest Martin. These episodes have been good because we don’t have Ashley and Derek weighing it down, and to a certain extent Andre being love struck with Ashley…zzzzz

I knew the Tomas actor was bad from the brief moment he was introduced to us. I know the comparisons to Passions are getting old but Dani’s many shenanigans are reminding me of Theresa’s when that show first started 😂 As much as I’m intrigued by dark Derek or Derek’s simmering jealousy, I have zero faith in the actor doing such a transition justice.

The Lady Gaga Thread
This album is pretty much the Lemonade to Lady Gaga’s Beyoncé. Meaning it’s an album that displays her talents through so many different genres and areas/sounds of pop. I fear it’s going to be underrated or overlooked, but for me this is one of my faves, no skips at all.

DAYS/Y&R: Casting Shocker!!
I’m shocked. Honestly feel like Days would be better to him than Y&R, just look at Trevor St. John, Robert Newman, etc. etc

Never thought the writers of EE would make me believe that Grant and Bianca were so much alike, but here we are. It was a beautifully written scene between two iconic characters. I hope they bring Grant back to conclude Nigel’s story.

BTG: February 2025 Discussion Thread
Now that I had a chance to watch I LOVED it. The opening scene of Nicole driving to actual music 😆 you can tell that us American soap fans are starving when we get excited at actual music being used 😂 The outdoor scenes wonderfully shot. Why do I get a sense of foreshadowing when Anita and Nicole were talking about how lucky they were to find a “good” guy (unlike Bill), that somewhere down the road a man from either one of their past may show up being the complete opposite of their husbands. I have sense that while Nicole may have married the right man, that there’s a bad boy out there that the Duprees may have disapproved of, and may have left behind to go to medical school and etc. It’s just speculation but I definitely get a sense Nicole’s life isn’t all that perfect and neither is her past. Bill is definitely going to be someone I love to hate, a Roger Thorpe or Victor Newman in the making! The actor has that IT factor! I need more exploration of the friendship between Bills daughter and Hayley! I definitely get a sense that Hayley will be a character I will like more further down the road as soon as she grows up and wisens up about Bill. It’s going to be glorious to watch! Dani is an Erica Kane in the making.

I haven’t watched it yet but it’s already been spoiled for me with social media. What a mistake this is though 😢 I’d rather them just be safe and just let the death be Reiss.
