Yeah, I don’t understand why FV and team hold her in such high regard to think this role is somehow unrecastable on a permanent basis.

I think ATWT actually exists in the BTG universe, too - I think Haley once mentioned dreaming of shopping at Fenmore’s and wearing Forrester Creations and Barbara Ryan Originals when she was younger and poor.

I think Leslie could easily pivot into being a Delia Ryan-type character - always an annoyance to the Duprees like Delia was with the Ryan’s, but over time, you get to see her develop her own life and independence, and even a fire romance with a Roger Coleridge-type character. She’ll always be her own worst enemy and make terrible decisions, but often with the right intentions. Or maybe a long lost true love comes back into her life and she’s saddled with some of his family/children, but he’s equally destructive and makes bad decisions. She could see that as her second chance to do things right in life. Like Pat and Frank on EastEnders - I do think she could follow a similar trajectory as Pat as well.

‘The Young and the Restless’ Crossover Gives ‘Beyond the Gates’ Its Third-Best Week of Ratings Ever (EXCLUSIVE) But, honestly, in the context of daytime, one week means very little if it doesn’t emerge as an ongoing trend or semi-trend.

It was a great showcase of the qualities Shelley brings. She knows how to bring the heart and milk every emotion from the given material. Reminded me of GH episodes she used to direct when Claire Labine was HW in the 90’s.

On a network and production company owned by the Ellison’s, we shouldn’t be surprised if they don’t acknowledge it at all honestly.

Dani as a character doesn’t make a ton of sense to me. It’s like a bad fan fiction character where the writer really wants you to believe it’s a dynamic character, but it’s weak and pathetic instead.

ETA wrong thread…

Not the show, but John Byrne is returning to do an alternate universe X-Men comic title that is being touted as possibly his final project: John Byrne Returns to X-Men, the Superheroes that Made Him Famous, to Say Goodbye: “Leaving in a Blaze of Glory

Laura/Genie had been dressed horribly since the 90’s, lol, so funny that you mention she’s the closest to how BLQ is dressed.

I really wish she were producing this show day to day rather than Julie Hanan Carruthers (who she’s obviously close with and helped mentor when they both worked at GH). I’d take her back at GH, too, but Curtis knows and specializes in bringing a sense of heart to her shows, and she works really great with both actors and production staff from things that have said about her throughout the years at both GH and DAYS.

Despite the writing for Leslie veering off into cartoon territory sometimes, Trisha Mann-Grant was a find for BTG - I know she’s been around for a while and mostly active in black-owned media productions in Atlanta, but I’m glad BTG has given her a wider and more national platform. She’s one of the original cast members that “popped” from day one.

But that wasn’t the narrative being told on BTG, they talked about streets being blocked and power being out for most of the town, If I recall correctly. So, it was definitely far beyond just the club.
