That's a good idea. I may do this to bypass that initial falling asleep period. Thank you for the advice and... Merry Christmas! @TheyStartedOnSoaps 🎄

Merry Christmas to you too, darling @dragonflies !

Merry Christmas, @DRW50 ! I'll remember 2025 in part of being the year I discovered OLTL and that journey would have been much less exciting and meaningful without your amazing observations and thoughts in that topic. I cherish this very much. Merry Christmas to all and cheers to our first Christmas in the forum's new design - @Errol and @Toups have done so much for the forum, I don't know how to say "Thank you" enough.

BTG up more in overall numbers than the other three soaps combined.

Merry Christmas, dear @soapfan770 ! May Santa bring you a lot of presents. 🎁🎅

I think it's time she googles (publicly while someone is standing over her of course) - "rat poison on sale".

Sounds marvelous.

She said what she said. ❤️

Now I'm tearing up again.

It's beginning to get interesting.

Mother is ready for Christmas. @Taoboi

I actually share many of these criticisms and thoughts. I too believe the Hayley storyline has great potential, especially if they stop portraying her as a careless and messy fool. Marquita is truly a diamond in the rough. I also find it hard to watch the Anita storyline right now, but I'm trying to get through it. Vanessa is a lazy stereotype of a one dimensional unrootable whore. That's just my opinion. However, I suppose there is an audience for this, and I don't judge these people. To judge what others like when it clearly brings them joy is so absurd, especially on an internet board. However I think the whole mafia aspect of BTG is a failure. Others again may disagree. Regarding the so called nurse - I think almost everyone on the board would agree with you that she doesn't fit in. Personally, I think the issue lies more in the writing than with the actress herself, but at this point... I just want to fast forward her scenes, which is not a good sign.

I used to have a Shawn Michaels poster on my wall as a very little kid. 🤭

I was thinking the same thing.

I believe the show has gotten better over the past few months. There is still work to be done on the clunky dialogue and the caricature villains, but it's better. I also feel that the tree discussion was provoked by what we saw on screen and the upcoming Christmas, which put us in a cheerful Christmassy mood. At least that's why I personally participated in that discussion.The last 2-3 episodes have been good, and I suggest you check it out when you have the time. I've always appreciated your commentary and it's nice seeing you online.

I'm up to February 15 and the show just hit rock bottom in terms of stupidity and melodrama. I think when I write the next review I'm gonna give it a 1/10. Something better change asap or I'm gonna cry. 🤭

😂After tolerating Tomas for a year I'm immune to anything. Bring it on, it can't be bad.

🤭Sitting next to Death (Ashley) in the first glimpse of him... Is a bad omen ready. And I second this about wishing it was aged Tomas. LOL. Anything to get rid of that blow up doll.

I've never seen this guy before... So I'm gonna give him a chance. What worries me is the fact that they are investing in Ashley. It seems we are gonna be subjected to a lot more of her in the second year.

BTG is up in the total viewers number. They have the biggest overall increase.

Thank you @Errol ! Very interesting numbers.

Chileeeeeeeeeeeeeee when is someone going to run over this bitch with a truck. 🤭

Waiting for a visit from Santa!
