BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread
Tamara Tunie doing a possible breast cancer story. I'm for it...if they write it responsibly and not like the latest B&B stories where someone is dying for months to just suddenly live. With that said, no I do not want Anita to die, but this could be a big story if written well. Joey backing Bill against Martin for Congress?? Please let this happen! This could be a great umbrella story that brings in just about everyone. Hayley's former partner in crime? Uh oh. Again, this could be good. I'm suddenly reinvigorated for this show with these potential stories. Don't let me down BTG. lol

This week has been the first time in a long time I actually liked Kat. I think they've done better at having her point of view explained in regards to Eva. I hope she continues to get better writing. I like Bill upping the ante with Tomas about Kat and Kat putting on the brakes. If they don't get married, he's out at the law firm? Maybe this will be the exit of Tomas? I can hope, but it's a nice conflict. After being all lovey with Jacob at Winterfest, Naomi is now back to struggling with Jacob? She's being written hot and cold and it's not doing her any favors. Chelsea and Madison made up quick! I like them together, but since the Holiday was made out to be such a disaster I would have thought the reconciliation might be a bit longer. Leslie/Marcel is interesting. Who's going to be better at playing the other? Overall I think the past two weeks for the show have moved them in a much more positive direction after sputtering for a bit. Can't wait to see how the next couple of weeks go.

"and starring as Febreze....Febreze" with a picture of a can of spray. Liking it to Texas with starring Beverly McKinsey. It would be funny and tongue-in-cheek. This Hayley "kill Bill" story makes me laugh. I was so excited when it started because it was a great twist and made Hayley far more interesting. Now it seems to be played for comedy. If she's such a successful con artist who has gotten away with this several times in the past, how can she be so stupid at times? I guess she and Randy haven't been that successful and that's why they have to try and pull off another one. lol Kial and Nicole are hot! I am all in for them already. I hope yesterday's episode with Ashley and Derek calling somewhat of a truce is a sign this couple is moving on...out of each others' orbits. S2 really needs to send Ashley in a different direction. She's still not working, though I enjoy her a bit better away from Derek and Andre.

Procter & Gamble launches "The Golden Pear Affair" micro-soap
Interesting concept. Personally, I prefer longer content but maybe it's because I'm from the older generation. lol. Either way, I hope it works. Seeing P&G at least trying makes me happy. This can only lead to more positive things if it's successful. I kind of agree that if P&G didn't see BTG as having been a success with its launch it wouldn't be trying other forms of "soap".

Today's episode was much better. I was a lot more invested. Anita/Bill were great! Hayley and Randy with their Marv and Harry from Home Alone caper. I enjoyed Dani and Andre. Vanessa and Anastasia were a bit over the top, but at least comedic. Really the only downside for me was the Chelsea/Madison story. Not because they are a female couple, but the reasoning for why they are "fighting" makes my eyes roll. The pace of today was much better and moved story. I hope it continues the rest of the week. As far as people complaining all the time, isn't that the American way? Society wouldn't be society without everyone's constant b*tching and moaning. I'm not sure most people even know how to be positive anymore. lol

Knots Landing
I just noticed Tubi has the whole run of KL up now! When did this happen? During it's original run I watched the later seasons around the time of Nicolette Sheridan's arrival and have always wanted to watch from the beginning. I guess it's like a Christmas present. 😀

I just finished today's episode and enjoyed it very much, but I will say I was expecting something "big" to happen. I was expecting something to happen between Leslie and Laura. Maybe Leslie elude to running her off the road while making another threat to Laura only for someone else to overhear. Jacob? Marcel? or even Naomi? I also thought Leslie was going to make a "big announcement" to everyone at Winterfest about how Vernon was having an affair with Sharon only to have Vernon and Sharon reveal a surprise for Anita they were conspiring together to bring to fruition. Sadly, neither happened. I did find myself chuckling several times at the humor in the day's episode. The dialogue was great and even Vanessa sticking her tongue out at Leslie was a riot. Vanessa is a wreck and I wish the writers would figure out what they want that character to be. The Dani/Ashley scene was unexpected and nice to see Dani taken down a notch from her usual over the top performances. Greg Vaughan was great! I can't wait to see how he fits in. As others have said, I think Ted is a lost character right now. The show needs to figure out what to do with him too. I liked his scenes the other day with Shanice but I don't see them as a couple. I'd rather they explore Ted and June a bit more.

True. Sorry I fixed my post. Wasn't thinking since it was already mentioned above. Thanks!

It would be a great twist if Anita knows Peaches and had her return to Leslie's life in order to drain her of the funds supplied by Anita. Kat is more and more obnoxious with every episode and I still don't think Tomas is needed. At the very least, replace Alex with a more charismatic actor. I'm so ready for Greg Vaughan . Please let him be Dr. Rollins.

Anita with Marcel/Elon and Eva/Samantha scenes. Glad the show continues to keep mixing up the characters.

B&B: December 2025 Discussion Thread
I've never liked TK as Ridge and the last couple episode cements why. Ridge is written as such a smug ass and it does him no favors. The way he reacted to Bill being at Forrester and then to push aside Eric is sad. Ridge acts like he's the king of everything and he really isn't. Never understood the appeal of TK in general. I like Deacon/Taylor. They seem to work and the ramifications with Sheila and Ridge's jealousy would be worth it. What happened to Hope and Liam's wedding? Did they forget? lol Not that I want to watch them get married for the hundredth time, but I'd rather watch that than Will and Electra or Ridge walking around stomping his feet like a 5 year old.

Another World Discussion Thread
Perry/Vicky instead of Ryan/Vicky could have been interesting. If we're assuming he had a break from the show and was first seen again as the one rescuing Vicky from the wild horse ride, he still could have come back as a cop investigating his father to add conflict and Vicky still in the mix. Perry would have already had a connection to Cass and Kathleen (when she returned) and Donna. Probably would have been a better fit if the show wanted to use history. However, when did AW ever want to use history properly? Seemed like every time there was a new producer, the show became a completely different show and the past didn't matter. I suppose if no Ryan there would have been no Grant (or Kelsey, thankfully!) No Ryan/Vicky/Grant which drove story for a long time.

My first thought at the time was Mac on AW and all the toasts he used to do to the audience. Loved it.

ALL: Recasts who were quickly accepted by the audience
I was thinking on AW that Robert Hogan as Vince McKinnon and Marcus Smythe as Peter Love were accepted even though each was totally different than the previous actors. Robert and Denise Alexander as Mary had far better chemistry. Peter Love turned into more of a menace with the return of his father, Reginald, and became abusive toward Brittany. I thought Marcus did the role well even with the not-so-great writing for him. The writing didn't help Sally Spencer as the new MJ McKinnon either. Making her a former prostitute, but didn't she and Adam become quite popular? Re: Jensen Buchanan. She was hard to watch at first after the fire that was Anne Heche. However, Jensen's chemistry with Paul Michael Valley and Tom Eplin helped her overcome that. Both Vicky/Ryan and Vicky/Jake became hugely popular for the show with her in the part.
