Gatecrashers

I disagree, because when Tomas is on, we get Kat, Eva, or Bill. Ashley and Derek are just alone together being boring.

All good! I will add Billy Warlock (Frankie, Days, A.J., GH) in "Society" and Kassie DePaiva (Chelsea, GL, Blair, OLTL, Eve, Days) in "Evil Dead 2." Of course, Sarah Michelle Gellar did "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "Scream 2," and "The Grudge," long after achieving fame as AMC's Kendall.

A few off the top of my head: Demi Moore (Jackie, GH), Meg Ryan (Betsy, ATWT), Amanda Bearse (Amanda, AMC), Barbara Crampton (Mindy, GL, Leanna, Y&R, Trista, Days), Kelli Maroney (Maggie, RH, Tina, OLTL)

I thought it was really sweet.

Not on topic, but can you DM me where you found that documentary? I've been looking for and can't find it. I don't mind paying for it. Thanks!

Dani's house for the win!

I don't even like B&B, but I'm stuck watching the last 5 minutes waiting for BTG when I watch it live. Watching JM's son reminds me of just how much JM sucked when he joined Y&R. He's a spitting image and a terrible actor, also. I just had to say that. I know its irrelevant to BTG. I just had to add my two cents.

He's not wrong at all.

I love that classic Eva Thomas eye roll!

The BTG subreddit is even more candid than we are here. It's actually refreshing. I like how we are able to read what each other think. I'm an old school soap viewer (well, I watched my whole life - I'm only 47) and I remember the ass-kissing magazines tryna make everything sound rosy when it wasn't (so they wouldn't be denied access - *cough, Ken Corday, cough*). Maybe, Marlena de la Croix was truthful then, but today she is either not watching BTG or losing her damn mind and she can't be counted on anymore for a thorough review. I count on y'all, Reddit, and the socials for a diverse and critical perspective. Let's hold the writers, actors, and showrunners accountable together.

It's always fun to read your feedback and opinions. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I'm not sure if Doug is dead, either. The body was burned beyond recognition? Please. I have been watching soaps for 45 years.

I still remember him as a young man with dreams on the Daytime Confidential podcast over 15 years ago. I don't know much about his ability, but I'm glad that his childhood dreams came true for him.

I loved him, but he really changed. After using Martin for a booty call, I started calling him Sh*tty. And, the way he spoke to June was downright vicious. Is this how MM came across as a rapist character on Days? He was seriously scary today. I think he's actually jealous of the kids having a relationship with June and hides behind his concern to look legit. Maybe he had a tough upbringing himself and that's why he's overprotective? I hope the writers have a motive for his attitude besides providing drama between him and Martin.

Actually, every girl fight I've seen growing up was about taking the earrings out and whipping out the Vaseline. Nothing new, lol.

.

Remember, she used play money last month and didn't know the difference? Waitresses need skills with making change etc..

June's just being human, though. I never was a good waitress and even when I last tried, in my mid-40s, I was terrible at it. It is NOT easy, and I have several college degrees. As for Nicole/Ted/SPS, I think SPS may pull a Nola Reardon (just without a pregnancy). He will probably stop and she will claim it went all the way (because he's wasted).

Where's Rowena when you need her?

I wouldn't go that far... BG and AA are, though.

Like Kat did? No, that was a TMI info dump. Not appropriate. It would be even worse with Sam, who is a minor (allegedly) AND a relative by adoption.

BTG's Alex Alegria has entered the chat and would like to display how wooden an "actor" can get.

They could have made some of the white people related to anchor them better to the core. I guess there is speculation that Ashley is Joey's daughter, and, honestly, I wouldn't hate it. Vanessa and Derek could have been siblings, and Pamela easily could have been Smitty's mom. I would also give Tomas and Caroline both some family connections to diversify the canvas.

No, actually, you didn't. But, I lived away from my home state for 10 years, and I didn't have any family nearby, so it's understandable. However, a throwaway line to explain this would be helpful. Then again, no friends have visited either. Not even Jacob, his so-called bestie has come by. Also, my family from out-of-state would visit me as soon as possible if I were paralyzed. It seems as though Derek, as a character, is not a priority to the writers. He's just propping Ashley and providing a stumbling block to Ashtray (my version of AshDre, because they suck together).

Who, in soapland, could play a convincing Ashley? I can see her as more of a scrappy, wrong-side-of-the tracks sweetheart (as written). I can't think of any current actresses that could make her interesting. As for JJ, I think she'd make a much better bitch. When she showed that side, she actually was more appealing.
