9 hours ago, Sylvia said: It's the puritanical manner by which Martin behaves, expressing alarm about something so normal, irrespective of the his own lifestyle which had to be normalized, whereas it wasn't and still isn't. We're all be groomed at once in real time, and the social contagion of it is just mindboggling. If you don't get on the bandwagon, you're just cancelled, persona non grata. Thanks, Hollywood! I just forward through what I don't want to see. Still love BTG.
Uhhh huh, sticking that fast-forward button is a fantastic strategy. It protects you from the terrifying reality that other types of people exist, and it saves the rest of us from having to hear about it!

Now, Kat has a right to dislike Eva, but she was never good to her. While she was right to dislike Eva at first, she treated Eva like trash because of her outfits, class, etc. before she even knew the girl. Kat is a princess and Martin was right to call that out, but not because she was scared to be a donor.
That, that and that!
Kat's feeling are very valid, but meh. She doesn't want to help Eva, admit it and take whatever comes.

6 hours ago, Sylvia said: As for Martin's behavior when it comes to keeping his children chaste, I can't help but see it as ironic in that, notwithstanding that it's now widely acceptable and legal, he is doing with another man that which for time immemorial was deemed "abominable," and still is to many. But heteronormative teenagers who are nearly grown and coming into their own must be monitored if not kept apart. Would he stop them if they were gay? Then, it would be about living one's 'truth' and about 'freedom,' but straight youth can ruin their lives, education and career opportunities, by having babies! Horrors!
Protecting teenagers from unplanned pregnancies isn't a 'heteronormative' double standard; it's just Parenting 101. Trying to link Martin's adult relationship to his rules for his teenagers is a massive stretch. If a straight dad set the exact same boundaries for his kids, no one would bat an eye—holding Martin to a different standard just because he's gay is the real irony here.

15 minutes ago, Liberty City said: So it is confirmed: Bill and Dani had sex in that elevator. And good on Vanessa for calling out that this exact situation was bound to happen.
Dani is right: this could crush Andre, but it is the wrong decision to not tell him that she slept with Bill.
I knew it. I just couldn't image them doing that scene without them actually doing the deed.
As I said before. Hope we don't get a little Dandrea.

Something about Anita realizing that it was useless to oppose Dani, or something implied along those lines.
Your memory is on point because that's what was said.

8 hours ago, Paul Raven said: So Dani married at 19. Did she give up modelling immediately? Because 19 seems very young for her to be the acclaimed international model that they speak of. How old is Naomi supposed to be?
Both Naomi Cambell and Tyra Banks both reached supermodel status before they were 20.

7 minutes ago, Cheap21 said: IA would like to see her pregnant bc both men would want that baby. Bill to have his son and Andre to have the child he gave up on wanting when he married her. There's interesting drama there with Dani being put in a position to have an abortion or not. Ultimately I think bc of her age, it should result in a miscarriage but not before her secret is exposed and they are left to pick up the pieces of her mess
I can see this.

I finally got to watch, and it was everything some people said it was.
Bill and Dani doing the horizontal hustle in the elevator brought back memories of other characters getting stuck together and doing the do.
Chuck and Donna - All My Children
Ed and Claire - Guiding Light
Blair and Todd - One Life to Live
Lily and Holden - As the World Turns
These characters wound up pregnant though.
Lawd, if Dani winds up with child ☠️☠️☠️

I feel conflicted about this. 🫣
I really don't want Andre to turn to Ashley, but I think this time around it might actually work.
I know some can't stand her, but I think she's gotten a lot better.
