Yikes. 50 episodes is 10 weeks of repeats. Seems excessive to me.

I don't mind the break next week since this is the last week I get to watch live before returning to work. Next week would probably be super busy for me anyway. However, as a general concept, I don't love it. Now what I don't get is why these break/repeat weeks or whatever we are calling them are never announced ahead of time. I might be wrong, but I don't recall a commercial this week saying that next week BTG would air repeats. I agree that these breaks can hurt momentum and I'm curious as to the bigger reason or purpose for it. I am not sure if surprising viewers with it is the best strategy. I remember a lot of viewers asking on Twitter last time, because they had no idea.

Hayley was not impressed with Bill looking like he felt some way about finding Dani and Andre in an embrace. Messy Leslie had me howling!

Yes, I am reading it as he is more upset that he was not involved in his daughter's life and sad that she didn't feel safe/close enough to come to him sooner. Now why is Silk Press being this messy. A sympathy plant 🪴 😅

This is the most interested I have been in Joey since the start of this soap and I do not care for this character at all, so it's working for me.

Some of yall are very generous with your assessment of BTG, let's just leave it at that. However, I wouldn't mind giving BTG an EON edge if it blends and balances it well with more traditional soap.

Just saw your post! I see we are having similar feelings about Hayley. I also agree with you about Kat. Sometimes it's great and sometimes someone needs to tell her to go sit somewhere. I didn't love her judgy tone when she said some comment about Craig being an escort either.

I was conflicted with Hayley's actions. Yes, the Duprees need to accept that she is Bill's wife and that's that. However, she knows the family is dealing with something serious and they aren't on good terms with her. I believe she should have taken Bill's advice and stayed away. This isn't a critique of the show. I think it was a good choice that brought good drama. It is more an analysis of Hayley and it is clear she is very insecure in her marriage with Bill.

Ok, then maybe she has the same cadence or affect that the Martin actor has where things come across a bit monotone and it doesn't read well all the time especially for more emotional scenes. I personally struggle to watch her acting. She has always been at the bottom of my list for acting ability on this soap, but like Martin I hope to see they improve with support and guidance.

I agree that Alison is coming across crazy. I personally don't agree that she is doing a terrible job. Is she amazing, no, but she is selling crazy pretty well. I'm actually shocked more people aren't having criticism about RhonniRose's acting.

So Chelsea had all those dream sequences telling her how to act in this situation and she has taken none of the advice. These Duprees love to meet about sensitive information in public places. The FBI agent probably should have met Vernon and Anita at home. I get it, there aren't enough sets. I'm not sure why I wasn't shocked Craig wasn't Alison's husband. I sorta figured that when she started tracking down/stalking Chelsea and faking that injury. I didn't realize it was a twist until I read some of the comments here. I guess in my mind I had already assumed it to be true. They really could have developed this Alison stuff more fully so that it would have more of an impact. We saw Chelsea leave with this couple one time and it was dropped for a while until Chelsea decides she wants to see Alison alone. Alison turned her down, but the question is what was her reason/goal for doing this? Chelsea was offering her what she wanted. It's not like Chelsea met Madison and decided to push Alison away and then Alison went psycho. I enjoyed seeing Hayley and Caroline. Caroline telling Hayley to message Bill under the guise that Caroline doesn't want to start a movie they won't finish is so real. I loved that tiny nuance of a friend giving you advice on how to approach a situation.

Loved this...nice seeing Caroline.

🤣 😂 😹 😆

Is Kim Cattrall doing anything these days? She played a good Samantha.

I thought the same thing while watching today. I feel the opposite. Rhonni was pretty bad and the actress that plays Alison was okay and decently gave off stalker vibes. I can see that now that you mention it, but they're definitely getting it on soon.

Don't get me started on that 🙄 I feel like they might be pushing Jacob and Kat. While I dob't necessarily love another cheating story, it does cause major ripples throughout. The fallout when Naomi finds out. How Chelsea will take it being Kat is her best friend/business partner and Naomi her sister. How Dani will take the news and what tension it might cause with Dani and Nicole.

I mean that bed so cheap and that chain so flimsy, Chelsea could have pushed that dresser easily and dragged that whole bed easily if she really wanted to.

I think this plays into some viewers thinking stories take too long to develop when they are cycling them in and out in this way. We have stories like June rediscovering her children and Leslie's financial windfall that move at the speed of light and skip several beats and then we have stories that are dropped for several weeks to resurface again out of the blue. Sometimes it works and other times it really doesn't. Definitely something they need to sort out for season 2.

I also thought it might be Allison's partner when they decided to not show who had taken Chelsea. However, as mentioned before, the show has gone for the obvious so it most likely is Allison.

My thought exactly when I saw Ted invite Eva to Kat and Chelsea's launch. How thoughtless to not even consider Kat's feelings knowing how tense Eva and Kat's relationship has been. It's not the time to force some kumbaya moment, Teddy. Story is moving wayyyy too fast. I feel like we have all these major stories in motion or limbo and now we've been thrown a curveball with Chelsea being abducted. If we look at a weekly snapshot, I've seen primetime shows move slower at this point.

Yeah, that was a choice...of words.

Really enjoyed the Ted/Andre/Dani scene. It felt real and genuine. It felt soap. This is something I feel this soap has struggled with, but I loved Dani reading Ted down and seeing Andre's facial expressions as he's caught in the middle. NuTed has more chemistry with Leslie than he does with his own wife. Although, in the actor's defense we've hardly seen NuTed have much interaction with his wife besides watching Nicole put him down...rightfully so tho. I love that Bill put those Duprees in their place. He was absolutely right. They need to stop acting like he's the scum of the earth and then want him to clean up their messes. It really frames the Duprees as comolex characters that are flawed. I think coming into wealth has given them a superiority complex and they have built these walls as defenses to keep others away that may want to take advantage of this wealth and status. It's probably why they see all the non-Duprees as less than while the Duprees can do no wrong. Bill, Ted and Jacob have all mentioned this in one way or another.

Well he did steal her virginity and did a lousy job. Stealing is a crime isn't it? Straight to jail, Tomas.

Ha! I similarly didn't want to bring down the mood, because it seemed like everyone was raving about it. Then I saw AllMyShadows post and I was like ok so I'm not the only one.
