I am used to US soaps having ruined timelines because of SORAS but BTG is only a week and a half years old - the ages cannot be this fcked already. If Martin is going run for president in 2028 he needs to be at least 32 now to be eligible. DD has said Nicole is 53. That means Nicole had Martin at 21 at the earliest. But Nicole and Ted met at a professional conference. Do premed students typically attend those? If Nicole met Ted as a resident psychiatrist she needs to be at least 58.

The mob stories have officially begun! Smitty finally gave Martin a chaste kiss on the cheek.

Smitty and Martin as parents of adult children is crazy.

The way Leslie went faint 😂

I get the sense that he doesn't mind her extracurriculars given her comment to him about cabana boys a few episodes ago.

Diego is giving Derek a run for his money in terms of woodeness.

Martin and Smitty are just 2 straight bros who happen to be raising kids together 🙄

We have actually seen two of Nicole's offices. One at the hospital and one at home. I have been keeping track of the storied 27 sets and unless I'm mistaken, we have seen just over half of them: 1. Dupree home 2. Dani’s living/kitchen 3. Dani’s bedroom 4. Ashley’s studio 5. Leslie’s home 6. Naomi and Jacob’s bedroom 7. Martin and Smitty’s home 8. Bill and Hayley’s home 9. Fairmont Crest Country Club 10. Orphey Gene’s 11. Uptown 12. Garland Memorial Hospital 13. Nicole’s home office 14. Bill’s law office 15. Richardson living room In an upcoming episode we will see

The press conference felt very B&B. From the Forresters Duprees each taking a turn at the podium to the under-five press core shouting questions. Aside from that I thought this was a very smartly written episode by Sara Bibel and Judy Tate.

Good memory!

Bill made the Duprees look like 🤡🤡🤡

Smitty slowly realizing he married into the mob.

I am about to re-watch but have to say, today felt emotionally off for me. The characters witnessed a traumatic experience, but nobody is crying. Nicole, Pamela, and many others instantly forgave Dani. The family seems more concerned with their reputation than the fact someone could have been murdered. Maybe the Duprees are more cold blooded than I realized.

After a week of the Duprees congratulating one another we definitely got another side of the family today.

Thank you!

Did anyone catch today's writing credits? I didn't see any.

When Leslie is unmasked we are going to have a Dani and a Dana.

Yes his look when Andre and Ashley were taking the picture was really weird.

LOL at the elevator just opening after Derek pushes the button.

Ugh now even Nicole is enabling Dani.

"The shame you have brought on this family!" Yes, tell her Anita! Ugh shut up Martin.

I am confused about the timeline. Did Ted leaves Leslie for Nicole or was Leslie his sidechick? How old is Eva?

I am officially Team Hayley after today. 🤍

I have watched the episodes multiple times but I'm not catching the reference to Ted being a twin. Can someone kindly point me to the episode number and scene? If you are willing to invest in a vpn, cbs.com posts the latest 5 episodes for free: https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/xntraLCHjwumHJHCftwnL78kOPGZCDEm/ Personally I use Nordvpn to watch Brookside and Coronation Street on STV. It's super easy to use and reliable. If you are willing to catch it live at 7pm GMT, you can watch CHCH's live feed: https://www.chch.com/live/ That was a cute moment. I remember Brad Bell calling Maya the "Black Erica Kane" but it seems like Dani better fits that description. I loved Karla's comparison of Dani to Reva because Dani's various wardrobe changes reminded me of Reva putting on her notorious red dress: Nice interview with yet another Dani/Erica comparison. It's intriguing to hear Cady describe Pamela as an Opal-type. It makes me wonder how might Pamela interact with with Vanessa. Maybe the two have a rivalry?

You are describing Emmerdale. They shoot interior scenes in Leeds and exterior scenes on the village set about 30 minutes away. Pulling off this kind of show hinges on a studio's proximity to rural areas and the ease/cost of shooting there.
