I was disappointed that Ted didn't seem to react to Bill commenting on Kenny interacting with Tyrell and Samantha. Those are your grandchildren, Ted!

Oh Bill, Chelsea's right about the business lawsuit. If you don't respond to some things, then a summary judgement can be entered - and he didn't pay attention! Nicole refers to her parents snarkily as "the Dupree High Command" I really like Nicole telling everyone off!

Can't see embedded instagrams
Update: It has fixed itself! I know only that it began Friday evening July 18 Pacific Time and extended into Sat. evening July 19 Pacific Time. This morning Sunday July 20, I awoke and it is fixed! I have changed nothing on my devices and browsers so I cannot explain the problem or the solution but that's okay. It's fixed!

The issue isn't browser-specific for me, it's something that just started happening yesterday -- and it's the same issue in chrome, firefox, edge, on my Windows PC, and everything is up to date. Also tried various browsers on my android phone and it's the same problem. Normally when I post an IG post, I see only the white rectangle outline immediately after it's posted, but as soon as I refresh the page, it displays beautifully. But now ALL ig posts on the SON boards are just showing as white rectangles to me in all browsers on all devices, no matter how many times I refresh. This is true for new SON posts and old SON posts. FYI, I can never see instagram posts when I'm logged out -- they don't even appear as an outline. When I'm logged out, IG posts appear as only a horizontal blue bar -- like all imbedded images and spoiler tags appear when logged out.

BTG: July 2025 Discussion Thread
Tamara Tunie said she agreed to take the role as Anita provided BTG would give her the needed breaks to honor her many prior commitments from October 2024 through May 2025 . (Link to tvinsider interview) on BTG behind-the-scenes thread. We have had many speculations/theories about why Maurice Johnson was replaced by Keith D. Robinson -- but Errol has said that none of the theories have been confirmed, so we just don't know why. We know that the replacement time seemed to align with 13-week cycle, but that's all we really know. I have noticed that KDR's social media shows both BTG and his music career, and he has been promoting his latest song. This is just me guessing (with zero knowledge) but I wonder if KDR had prior commitments as well and if we'll see more of him soon?

I think Naomi's a great character and and that she and Jacob have a great marriage. What are your objections to Naomi? This is the very first comment I've heard any poster make indicating dislike of her. Not saying you're wrong or right... just very curious why you think this.

ARTICLE: Ron Carlivati OUT At ‘Beyond The Gates,’ Plus More Writing Changes At Daytime Drama Series
Ron was terrible at writing DID at DAYS, terrible and insulting. I don't want Ron writing any mental illness stories for anyone. Sure he'd jump at the chance but please NO. His favorite thing to write is one character with multiple personas; or separate characters who are lookalikes or masked lookalikes. He thinks he's all so clever and "fun", and he's not.

BTG: July 2025 Discussion Thread
In my opinion, the writing for the Dupree characters are not affected by writers lacking "fairness" or showing "favoritism" or "bias". It's *not* the job of a writer to give each character equal focus. It's the job of a writer to tell stories, with good characterizations that are naturally part of the stories. I do agree that Nicole's and Ted's points of view have been lacking to some degree. But I don't think that's about "fairness" or "favoritism" at all. Nicole is one of my favorite characters and I stand up for her, but I don't think the writers are treating the Nicole character unfairly. I do think that the writing is *intentionally* planned to show how Anita and Vernon try to dominate everyone, and that this is *supposed* to show that they do this to their offspring. That's part of the characterization of Anita and Vernon. If anything, I think it's intended to emphasize that Anita and Vernon are the ones being unfair, and patronizing to Nicole. The only focus I object to is the focus on Joey Armstrong, and I do think that's partially because Guza liked mob stories but also because MVJ is friends with Lindstrom; and Lindstrom himself is interested in mob stories, per the novels he's written.
