CBS starts their seasons in late August, during September, or in early October, so basically fall seasons. B&B and Y&R differ on their season start dates sometimes, but their start dates are usually within a few weeks of one another. A U.S. soap season is usually around 255 episodes. When it was announced that BTG got a contract or promise of 200 initial episodes, that doesn't mean that the first season is 200 episodes. I'm assuming they simply got a promise of 200 episodes. My preliminary guess: Some of the initial 200 episodes would be for a short Season One that lasts 5-7 months. The remainder of the initial 200 episodes would kick off Season Two, with more episodes to film gradually, to fill out a full 250-episode Season Two that would go a full twelve months from Sept 2025-Sept 2026. That was my first guess/theory when the 200-episode deal was announced months ago. The fact that BTG has more preemptions and planned repeats than Y&R/B&B -- that throws off my theory a little bit, but not by much. But of course, I'm just guessing about all of this. -
Monday June 30 U.S. (Friday June 27 CDN) Abby and Devon talk about Lily, and Chance walks up. The three of them discuss Dominic. And they also discuss that Cane brought Chance over to prevent a murder. Then Lily walks up and joins the conversation. MEANWHILE Amanda watches them on the Dumas video spycam. Lily arrives, Amanda is watching Screengrabs from Canadian broadcast - thanks to all the recappers

Thurs June 26 U.S. Cole is still in the hospital in Chicago. He is asleep Victoria and Claire make a quick stop in Genoa City to check on Johnny and Katie and to get a change of clothes, but plan to return to Chicago before Cole wakes up. Esther is still managing Crimson Lights. She waits on Victoria and Claire. Victoria tells Esther that Cole has Legionnaires’ Disease. Legionnaires’ Disease. Legionnaires’ Disease -- that's a new way to write out a soap character - if he dies, which isn't certain. There have been no spoilers about this (and this is a nonspoiler thread anyhow.) Just saying, Cole's fate is uncertain. It's hard to tell with a sporadically recurring actor. And Esther gets an appearance. Nate walks in and joins Victoria and Claire at their table. Claire has a panic attack and dashes outside to the park for air. What's most interesting about this scene is that Victoria and Nate talk about their past relationship, forgiveness for how it ended, and becoming friends again. Nate listens as Victoria talks about Cole, and he is supportive. He seems to miss being a doctor. With the lack of cell service at the Dumas/Cane estate in France, Nate hasn't heard from Audra. *** Speculation: perhaps *if* Cole dies, they might pivot back to Nate/Victoria? Or at least they'll be in each other's orbit whenever Victoria returns to Genoa City. I'd prefer to see Nate as a doctor again instead of a businessman, so I hope he decides to return to practicing medicine. Meanwhile Claire is outside panicking about Cole's illness. Shirtless Holden is jogging and sees her. He realizes that she's having a panic attacke, and he gives her techniques to help her calm herself. I don't care about Claire. But it was interesting that Holden said he had a history of having anxiety attacks when he was a teen and he tells her what he learned from that. Holden seemed sincere and that was a new side of him. . . With the lack of cell service at the Dumas/Cane estate in France, Claire hasn't heard from Kyle. And Kyle is flirting with Audra via applying sunscreen. They might pivot to Holden/Claire (I hope not). But . . . is Holden really sincerely caring about Claire? Is that story about his past anxiety true? Or does Holden he have an agenda with Claire? I don't know. Audra and Kyle in swimsuits in France, each flirting with the other, supposedly faking the flirting in order to each further their own agendas to manipulate the other for business reasons. Audra deserves better than Kyle! Arghh. I hope they don't go there. I'd be more interested in an Audra/Sally pairing.

I had been looking forward to BTG acknowledging Juneteenth, but they didn't.

@Errol, to you know if CBS remembered to tell CHCH.com ? I learned recently that W.Network in Canada gets batches of DAYS episodes early, ready to queue up to broadcast on the designated date. And possibly same situation with CTV for B&B. That's why I'm wondering about CHCH.com

I've seen short daily clips here: https://www.youtube.com/@CBS/search?query=beyond And lots pf highlights here https://www.instagram.com/beyondthegatescbs/ Y&R recently did a huge promotion for behind-the-scenes of the Y&R summer storyline that's 6 minutes long -- (Link to the promotion) so CBS does have the ability to promote if they want to.

On the Monday June 30 U.S. episode (just aired Friday June 27 Canada) Guests at the Dumas/Ashby estate wonder what Cane's plan is, and is he trying to distract them from his real agenda? Cane privately tells Amanda that he's headed for Genoa City. So, meanwhile, while the guests are in France, Cane goes to GC. This must be the scene in the Next week on Y&R preview video . . . Probably airs July 1st or July 2nd U.S. Cane and Holden have a "secret meeting" at Crimson Lights. Really.

The link to the youtubetv thumbnails? https://tv.youtube.com/browse/the-bold-and-the-beautiful-UCiaukWSbRCUga4KUd9vKVtw When I scroll down the front page there is a big image and then "try it free" (but I don't click on that), and then below that there is a horizontal list of thumbnails, that I scroll left/right to see. These are just the same thumbnails that cbs.com and paramountplus use for each episode, but sometimes you can see them in advance from the tv.youtube menu.

Promo that's different from the "next week" preview. This is a full minute promoting BTG in general. On the CBS youtube channel, you might need a VPN to see from outside USA.

I feel for Nicole when all is revealed about who knew what and when, and that they gave her no agency to decide for herself. I have faith that Ms. Duplaix will rock her scenes and I will be sobbing and cheering all at once.

They really should have promoted this as "Binge BTG" with lots of hype. There should be promos on TV and online. Remember during the COVID break summer 2020, B&B and Y&R aired repeats and they promoted it a lot. They know how to do this, if they choose to.

Next Week on Y&R preview video week of June 30 - July 4 Edit: None of the scenes in the preview will air Monday June 30 U.S. (per the recap of that episode that aired Friday June 27 CDN). Everything in the preview airs in July.

Week of June 30 - July 4 will be repeats. Good time to catch up. I imagine GH, Y&R, and B&B will air repeats on July 4th anyhow.
