BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread
They had the scene with Vanessa and the gym trainer talking about the property, in front of Vanessa's husband Doug. So Doug knows what property she's about to show and where it is. Doug asked his friend, the mob-affiliated Randy, for money for his gambling debt, and Randy told Doug to go ask Vanessa for the money. Do Doug and Vanessa have an open relationship? Does he know she likes to play around, and is he fine with that? Will Doug go to the real estate property location to find Vanessa to ask her for the money? Will he be surprised or unsurprised at what he finds?

BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread
Speculation/theory: I'm getting an impression that they're writing Andre as the world-traveling rich playboy photographer who can be interested in/smashing multiple people. On the surface-level. But I also have the impression that they're attempting to convey that he thinks about things and tries to listen, so he does have some depth, maybe? When, yesterday after sex, Dani admitted to Andre that she'd just shot up the wedding, I got the impression that he realized she was using him to unwind from all the family stress, and he was okay with that, but still surprised at the level of craze. Yet he also listened to where she was coming from, and asked her how she now feels. The whole deliver-a-baby-in-elevator trope -- was a trope, somewhat poorly directed/written. I agree that the level of praise that nurse Ashley is receiving in the dialogue from the other characters -- is really way over-the-top, LOL. But I do think they are *attempting* to convey that playboy Andre is somewhat moved by Ashley's dedication as a nurse (despite the bad writing). I think the show might be trying to go with Andre being willing to charm anyone and jump anyone's bones, yet at the same time there might be a trope of him... attracted to bad girls, but impressed by good girls (Dani/Ashley). I mean I don't think Ashley is strong enough for this trope, but perhaps the show is going for that? Or maybe as others have posted, there may be more beneath the surface for her. Just speculating based on a few episodes, that they seem to be showing layers with Andre.

BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread
The actor who plays Ted has been reading and replying to many tweets about the show. To all the theories about Ted -- he simply replies with a "hmmm", or a gif, or an expression of enthusiasm about the discussion -- but without committing to any particular speculation. https://x.com/iamMauriceJ/with_replies We know Ted's brother (Andre's father) died. It hasn't been stated in the dialogue that he was a twin. Quite a while back, someone posted the twin theory here on SON -- I think it was a speculation? I don't think Ted having a twin was ever in any article describing the characters. However there have been a gazillion articles and video interviews in the past 11 months, so of course I may have missed it. As far as I can tell, it's an internet viewer theory that keeps getting repeated. But I could easily be wrong.

I don't know this person; but I'm posting this to show an example of new viewer engagement https://x.com/Gregpuna/status/1897093774553313361 Gregory Lewis 🇹🇹 🇧🇧 🇬🇩 @Gregpuna Mar 4, 2025 Okay, so I’m utter shock. My 82 year old father came over while I was rewatching today’s episode of #BeyondTheGates. He took one look at the black folk and proceeded to sit down and watch it with me. My father has never been interested soaps. I was speechless.

The dialogue said that Nicole does both philanthropy and psychiatry. I think Nicole's home office and personal assistants are for her philanthropic work. I don't think we know yet where her psychiatry practice is located - at home or elsewhere? Ted is a plastic surgeon who can work at the hospital but he also has a high-end private practice in a building/property which has nice grounds. That came up when they were deciding where Andre would shoot the video of Nicole and Ted. Edit yes, Ted was Laura's doctor at the hospital - after Leslie ran her off the road. I don't know if he was just working as a regular Emergency Room doctor that day or what? There was some dialogue about Nicole arranging to pay for Laura to recover at a private clinic somewhere. Andre is independently wealthy, inheritance from his late parents. He travels the world doing photography. I got the impression he doesn't live anywhere fixed, and is just visiting Fairmont Crest right now -- but might decide to stick around. (and obviously will stick around since he's contract cast). Edit, I do think we saw Nicole's psychiatry office because there were framed degrees on the wall.

I don't even know if the show would write the firefighters in 24/48 shifts as I described above. Edit: In real life: Prince George's County Maryland fire department does do 24 hour shifts for some firehouses, and regular day shifts for other firehouses. https://www.princegeorgescountymd.gov/departments-offices/news-events/news/prince-georges-county-government-announces-fire-staffing-reallocation-plan I wonder if BTG will have a similar model?

Final scenes of the episode: Firefighter Derek leaves Nurse Ashley in her apartment. Interesting, I had thought they lived together. If he's a standard professional city firefighter, then he would have shifts like this: 24 hours on, 48 hours off, 24 hours on, 48 hours off, alternating thus. With the "24 hours on" including sleeping at the firehouse. The dialogue today says his shift starts in the morning, and implied that he was going back to his own home/apartment for tonight.

Serena Williams now added to the owners of the new women's basketball team: WNBA Toronto Tempo, which will begin play in 2026. https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/44095242/serena-joins-ownership-group-wnba-new-toronto-tempo-team Serena joins ownership group for WNBA's new Toronto Tempo team Mar 3, 2025 Twenty-three-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams is joining the Toronto Tempo ownership group, the organization announced Wednesday. The team is primarily owned by Kilmer Sports Ventures, chaired by Larry Tanenbaum, and is led by team president Teresa Resch. The Tempo are the 15th team to join the WNBA and will tip off their first season in 2026. Their expansion draft will be held after the 2025 season. "This moment is not just about basketball; it is about showcasing the true value and potential of female athletes -- I have always said that women's sports are an incredible investment opportunity," Williams said. "I am excited to partner with Larry [Tanenbaum] and all of Canada in creating this new WNBA franchise and legacy." Toronto says Williams will play a role in designing jerseys and creating merchandise collaborations with the team. "Serena Williams is an icon, a role model and a force for change in the world" Tanenbaum said. "She's earned every bit of her incredible success with hard work, tenacity and determination in the face of countless challenges. She exemplifies the very best of what the Tempo stand for -- we couldn't be more honored to have Serena in our court." Williams already owns stakes in the Miami Dolphins, Angel City FC and Los Angeles Golf Club. https://bsky.app/profile/tempobasketball.bsky.social/post/3ljigpf4wxc2q https://www.instagram.com/p/DGvqqvkRpRQ/ serenawilliams March 3, 2025 New court, new game. 🏀 I am incredibly excited to join the @torontotempo as the team's newest owner. video: "New court, new game" nLSU2vsZKDev4wdn.mp4
