Yes to what dc11786 said about Dani: "While her hatred and anger is justified, it is exhausting, but at least that seems intentional on Val Jean's part rather than the typical a character annoys you because the writer is out of touch. Dani is very well constructed" I especially appreciated the idea that this intentional (unlike some writers, LOL)

Oh wow, I totally missed that. Now I have to go back and rewatch those scenes in episodes one and five.

While you were posting, I looked it up again, and found that Jan is Ashley's mother, and I edited my post.

I wondered who Jan was. (Edit) Then I looked it up. Jan's the name of Ashley's mother, the woman with the blonde wavy hair. Interesting idea. I agree with you that Mona is smart and might be more onto the scheming tendencies of Leslie, more than Leslie is aware.

fyi, Jerri Tubbs and Max Bickelhaup are spelled correctly on the individual episodes in which they appeared, but misspelled on the overall list. Thank you @Liberty City for doing all this work!

This was probably already posted but this might be more info: Aviyon Gilliam played the bartender at end of episode 1, watching the Dani/Hayley confrontation https://www.imdb.com/name/nm16425794/ He tweeted that he has episodes coming up. I can see from Aviyon Gilliam's IG pics that this really is him https://www.instagram.com/aviyon_g/ I see that BTG's instagram has an arrow pointing to this bartender in their post saying they are accepting applicants for an HBCU student to do a nonspeaking role - it says: "This could be you". https://www.instagram.com/p/DGoEaw4yX47/

Does SON traditionally credit background actors in episode rankings? @JAS0N47 sometimes credits U/5 actors for DAYS if they are known; but not sure about background actors? The actor Aviyon Gilliam (bartender at end of episode 1) watching the Dani/Hayley confrontation https://www.imdb.com/name/nm16425794/ He tweeted that he has episodes coming up. More info about him on the behind-the-scenes thread at this post: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/66310-btg-history-behind-the-scenes-articles-photos/?do=findComment&comment=1999426

It works aesthetically to use spoiler tags -- but then people have to log in to read. For many years, I would read the SON monthly episode rankings -- for many years before I joined SON. (If I quoted it elsewhere, I would still credit SON). Also, the fancy opening font image doesn't display for those not logged in. But that doesn't really matter at all. This is what I currently see if not logged in (on all browsers).. Logged out and then checked this thread on PC browsers and phone browsers, and it's the same for all. I made this screengrab:

I agree. Hayley doesn't seem to be a narcissist. Just interesting that Naomi sees the situation that way, and Naomi's line delivery was sincere and not bitter. The whole way Naomi said those lines. I was impressed with both the writing and the delivery.

amazing line of dialogue, Friday Feb. 28: (this scene is right after Cady McClain's entrance) Naomi to Jacob: Sad. I’m sad that our family’s come to this. Divided. Angry. Estranged. All because two narcissists recognized themselves in each other and fell in love with their own reflections. While the rest of us sort through the wreckage.

This promo aired during the broadcast TV credits on CBS-tv at the end of Friday Feb. 28 episode. But *not* within the online Feb 28 episode on cbs.com, paramountplus, or chch.com Thanks for posting it here. I would have missed it.

The spoilers have been reposted on the new BTG March spoiler thread. The preview video was added there and it shows glimpses of Dani, Anita, and Vernon.

My guess is that Dani intentionally shot into the air / at the wall.

From Zelenskyy's twitter, he's replying to all the world leaders who tweeted him support today. So many! https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/with_replies

@Errol ok thank you, that makes sense.

Oh gosh. I think it's normal and healthy to be distressed! They want us to cower in fear, and I don't want to give into that, but I certainly wouldn't judge anyone for being terrified. I mean, if you're not terrified, you're not paying attention. So yeah, it's *sane* to be afraid, and yet I don't want them to destroy me with fear. Both can be true at the same time. It's all insane. This cartoon is from the time of the *prior* Trump administration. Today, Trump insanely accused Zelenskyy of instigating WW3 if Zelenskyy didn't comply with Putin.

They want to kill us with fear (as well as literally killing us with poverty and abuse). I refuse to let them trample me with fear. I mean I have to remind myself every five minutes to not succumb to fear. It's really hard. But I won't let them take my sanity!

We got confirmation that Tomas is an attorney at Bill's law firm.

Reuters and AP have been banned from the White House. Someone from TASS (Russian media) was at the White House today. Really.

Agree with all points, especially the last one.
