Dani, I think, is more upset that Bill actually left her for his side piece thus breaking the facade of their life and marriage together. It was all about keeping up appearances for her. But, in a way, it seems that’s nothing new for the Dupree’s. Anita and Vernon are merely keeping up appearances and trying to salvage Martin’s reputation (whatever it is that he did) by forcing their whole family to attend this trifling wedding, lol.

An extended interview with Sheila Ducksworth: One with Karla:

❤️

All of the entities have representation - CBS, P&G, and the NAACP. Because it’s a joint venture with all those properties, they each have executives with EP credits. Sheila Ducksworth is in charge of the CBS/NAACP joint venture, so that’s her EP credit. Michele and Guza seem to have it written into their contracts, so they’re more on the creative side. Michele’s naturally makes sense since she’s the creator of the show and the HW. Julie Hanan Carruthers gets an EP credit because she’s the main producer in charge of the actual day to day production. It’s not a typical model, but I think because so many parties came together to produce this show, the credits are atypical.

BTG’s hour just flies by and doesn’t drag like the other 3 hour-long soaps currently.

I wonder how Nicole will feel about Dani screwing her nephew. They’re both adults, but so damn messy, lol

Ashley and Derek = Zzzzzzzzzzzzz At least Derek has a nice butt, that’s the positive.

Ashley and Derek continue to be as interesting as watching paint dry. Thank goodness they aren’t doing that much in this episode. Even with small amounts of dialogue, Ben Gavin is so bad.

Haley’s little monologue in Bill’s office is straight out of the Brooke Logan archives.

Kat is beautiful, but why does dress like Jackie Kennedy all the time?

Leslie is so damn delicious.

Dani is an awful stage mom. Hate the way she treats Chelsea. I’m ready for them to try a new wig on Naomi…

After watching Tanner Novlan in the B&B cliffhanger, suddenly the greener actors on BTG don’t seem as bad immediately following.

With P&G back in the soap and production content business, it may be a good time to revisit a revival of The Edge of Night. True crime and crime procedurals have a huge market for them. It would be interesting to have a soap again where the focus is more so on crime and mystery than just simple domestic drama. It doesn’t even have to be a true reboot - call or something else or use the EON name and have it set somewhere else. I just think the premise would be a lucrative one in today’s world.

They also had to build everything out from scratch as it was a completely new studio that they inherited. I think, over time, a lot of the kinks will be finessed to a more cohesive look and feel. Most new daytime soaps that have launched have had to deal with this. BTG's situation is unique in that most of the production crew didn't work on soaps in LA or NYC, so they are looking at things from a slightly different lens - which isn't bad, and makes the show more unique than the standard fare we've had for years on daytime.

In term of sheer charisma, Trisha Mann-Grant has it in spades and more than most of the relative unknowns in the cast. She's a find so far and I am really looking forward to her developing this character.

He really is, and the actor is beyond limited. Something about his line delivery feels so unnatural.

I thought KM was hilariously bad during the crying scene in the elevator while Dani was leaving Bill’s office. Sometimes less is more, especially when playing a character that’s so extra.

And those specials had very minimal promotion behind them too.

If BTG overtakes GH in its first month and sticks there, ABC needs to make sweeping changes at GH. Frank Valentini and the writers need to be fired immediately.
