Ah thanks! I honestly think I’ve only ever seen the first 3 episodes of Bold, so to this day I never saw episode 4 or 5. Haha.

I forget if B&Bs first week was also 1 day?

Or Matthew Atkinson, if he’s definitely off of B&B. Sigh….not sure if I’m board with the whole Incestuous thing, but I guess that shows that MVJ has definitely learned the ways of a Bell soap if she includes some of that 😂😂

That helps so much! Vanessas married?? lol

Speaking of Passions I got a bit of an Julian/Ivy vibe with Bill and Dani's sparring too!

I'm willing to give it some time, but if the current Derek proves to not work out as well, maybe they can swap him with the "Zeke" actor! haha. Honestly too soon to think about serious recasting, yet I know with it being a soap it will happen at some point. That's amazing!!! again I don't want to speculate too much now, but this really could be like a renaissance for people tuning into Soap Operas and for Soaps again in general!

I totally agree, It's refreshing to see a powerful family all be united yet still likable at the same time, just as the Dupree's are. I was living for the reactions though when Anita made it clear they were all going to attend Bill and Haley's wedding as a family! Speaking of old school soap touches.... Naomi playing the piano and singing felt very Leslie Brooks IMO! It's nice to see characters actually have hobbies or other interests too like Chelsea's social media status...I felt it when Kat and Dani prevented her from enjoying her charcuterie! The working class women gossiping about the rich?? hell yeah!! and wow Leslie is psychotic....was that it for Laura?! I definitely see plenty of chemistry with Bill and Dani, Hate and LOVE! I actually thought he had less chemistry with Haley, but then who knows what Bill really has planned for her? It's amazing how fast this hour flies by....that's not the case whenever I watch Y&R...or even a half hour of B&B...LOL Oh yeah, Vanessa!! 🥰 LOL at the Bandana around her head and the glasses!! very old school soap! and I totally agree that guy should have been Derek!!

Oh hell year for sure! BTG is slowly becoming the new crown gem of CBS, but Y&R still isn't as bad as B&B. Yet 1 out of the 3 is the one that most resembles a soap opera, and it's not the two there are over 50 and pushing 40 years old sadly....😂

Still in so much shock! 😢😢😢

I mean most of us did accept John McCook and Ronn Moss as father and son for 25 years given their only 8 years apart! 🤣🤣

Barely made it to 40 😢😢 I’ve only seen a little of her on AMC but she was always a great young actress.

My mouths still hanging open literally about this one!! 😮😮😢😢 I watched Harriet the Spy lord knows how many times when I was a kid, but she was also a fixture of my childhood.. damn….RIP😢😢

Haha, Bill is another one too, because of Bill Spencer. (Maybe MVJ named him after Bill Bell?)

We will see. haha, i need to get use to another soap character being called Ashley, because to me Ashley Abbott just keeps popping into my head!

Was it said somewhere if Ashley and Derek have kids? I'm guessing not though they both look mid-30's already.... I found her more interesting today so like you said hopefully something's coming.

mmm...not sure about the whole day passing in an episode...seems too similar to what Mal Young tried to do when he was EP over at Y&R...haha Showing a weekend would be different on a soap

That's pretty good for a first week of a new soap! Y&R's entire first week was one day I believe, and Passions started day #2 the second half of episode #5 I wonder if BTG will ever do that rarity where they end an evening and begin a new Day within the same episode? From what I've seen I think that might have been more common on classic AMC/OLTL?

Just finished episode #2! It definitely seems like the show is finding it's footing, beat by beat! It will be interesting to see how the week concludes. Ashley and Andre definitely have better chemistry then her and Derek, and I felt more spark with Ashley today then on yesterday's show. Nicole not having anytime for Haley was hilarious, her and Bill are definitely a piece of work. I wouldn't want to cross Vernon or Anita if I was Bill. It's also refreshing that the family seems to hold the man accountable for the affair which is something you don't see ever on say B&B. It's gonna be quite the showdown tomorrow with Dani and Bill based on the ending! LOL Eva and her mother, they are social climbers and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do! I guess Eva's mother had a past with Nicole's husband? gotta have the folk from the wrong side of the tracks, if that's what they are? I thought Martin and Smitty were cute. A kiss would have been nice, but I do think it was intentional they didn't show too much affection...I'm looking forward to seeing their kids too. I'm in agreement with everyone that some of the character's look way too young to be parents to 20 or 30 somethings, but at the same time, I feel like this is a throwback to B&B and even Passions where most of the actors playing the parents would be way too young to have kids at certain ages. I know Mike Manning is 37, and I'm assuming the actor that plays Martin is around that age or a little younger. The actor playing their son is 20 IRL I think, so it kind of gives me flashbacks to Passions when you had a 37/38 year Eva Tamargo play a mom to 5 grown kids, two of them at least pushing 30 and the others playing teens. Although at the same time I think people tend to look younger these days too so that doesn't help. Who were the two assistants of Nicole who had that conversation together? are they contract players, the older one looked like Bessie from the first episode? I love even the recurring/dayplayers are getting good airtime!

Griffith has watched the SAW movies too many times apparently…

Good to know! Excited about episode #2! Everything seems pretty positive so far!

That’s Nicole’s husband right? Well that’s good casting cause he does look like Martin the son.

That’s one thing I noticed. as handsome as the men are, some of them do look a little too similar and besides the ones that stand out more because of them being older like Vernon, Bill and I guess Nicole’s husband who we haven’t met yet, the younger ones including Martin kind of have a similar look to them.

I’m quite surprised Victoria wasn’t considered for BTG at all? It’s still early yet but thinking of it, most would assume she’d be a must get for the show.

Yess!!!!

True! They should have them on there.
