I don’t know what happened, but there was nothing wrong with Maurice and I am sad to see him go this soon. I hope it was his choice, but if it wasn’t, then the show made a mistake letting him go IMO. I wish this new actor good luck though and I hope he does well.

Michele Val Jean interview: Exclusive: Who really tells Michele Val Jean where to take her characters on Beyond the Gates

If only one of those doors opened up to an interesting character and actress…😙

She’s also a hypocrite for making cracks about the difference in age between Bill and Haley (“child bride”) when she’s getting d!ck from someone young enough to be her son on this show.

I love that Leslie and Eva look like they’ve been rummaging the racks at TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, Ross, and Burlington.

Someone has to see that whenever Ashley and Derek are in the momentum automatically dies on this show, right?

I’m at the point where I hate these characters and get annoyed whenever they’re on. It’s the character, it’s the actors, and it’s the writing. It all sucks or is incredibly vanilla and uninteresting.

Me whenever Ashley and Derek are on.

It’s because a number of different entities have joined forces to finance and produce this show. CBS, P&G, the NAACP. They all have their individual people representing them on the EP team. That’s in addition to MVJ (creator and HW) getting an EP credit along with Guza, and Julie Hanan Carruthers (whose primary role is focused on keep the production in order).

MVJ is a rape survivor herself, so I don’t think she’ll tackle any sexual abuse storylines insensitively if that time ever comes.

Add Tomas in there as well if they won’t recast!

I’m ready for her start driving a car at full speed.

That Tomas actor is just ridiculously bad.

That was the group MVJ herself was part of as a teen, I believe. So based on her own life.

I really hope they don’t go down that route. There’s already a pervasive ideology from right wing bigots in this country that most gay people are gay because of sexual abuse they’ve experienced during childhood. BTG should stay away from feeding into that. Bill seems to know what the situation is, so I am assuming Martin may have killed someone and it was covered up or some type of other coverup.

A lot of new soaps have some type of reset in their first year - I wonder at which point we’ll be getting one. At the very least, they’ll likely be some recasting for the contract cast as some contract cycles start to expire.

Didn’t the original character description we got for Dani say she had some sort of cocaine addiction? I wonder if that was taken out but other elements of the character remained without that.

Not to mention, it’s not illegal to move wherever the hell you want to move to, or having an affair with a married man. It it illegal however to fire a loaded gun in public, to trespass, to physically assault. Things Dani has done repeatedly.

And of course Dani’s tracks are being covered ala Phyllis and Carly. 🙄

Loving Haley today.

Yeah, I am not liking Cady on this show and her hyper theatrical acting in this role.

TT staying busy:

Ashley both with and without Derek is coma inducing to me.
