What happened to Pamela (Cady McClain)?
BTG avoiding the Dani, Andre, and Cady trio actually working at the modeling agency makes no sense to me.

Genie is outstanding for coming up with that idea. Her acting skills as Laura's life imploded is tough to watch. I respect it.

ALL: Escapism vs any semblance of reality
A lot of people said they stopped watching when they decided to no longer have Robin and Patrick as a couple. I guess the two of them could make the show more grounded. However I'm pessimistic about the GH writers properly doing medical storylines. I believe they would have Robin and Patrick getting mixed up with a bunch of other bs that has nothing to do with medicine. Do you think that part of it is because the writers don't understand how to show the cruelty of rich people? From what little I've seen of Y&R and DOOL I know for a fact that Victor and Stefano can be cold blooded men when they want. GH used to present the Cassadines as the main villains .Even in the 90s and 2000s when it came to the "good" members of the family they were still presented as inherently richer, more powerful, more perverse, and more vicious than mobsters if they chose to be. Damn you're right. GH was the most medically relevant in the 90s. That's wild to think about.

GH ignoring covid might be understandable. But them ignoring the Luigi Mangione situation, big pharma vs holistic medicine, the not so easy conclusions about marijuana's side effects, edibles being trendy, insurance companies vs actual medical professionals, etc is so cowardly. Surprisingly BTG seem to be at the beginning stages of tackling big pharma vs holistic medicine due to Madison getting sued for malpractice.

*cackles* I definitely like hearing Shanice, Jacob, and Naomi speak their feelings on Derek's death. And I'm all for a PTSD and survivor's guilt storyline for Jacob. I like gritty stuff like that.

ALL: Types of characters every soap needs
Usually the women on soap operas are rich and glamorous or not rich and still prefer to present themselves in a glamorous way. I think soap operas need more tomboyish women. Doesn't even matter if the tomboyish one is working class or not.

BTG: May 2026 Discussion Thread
Recently Deanna did say out loud that she has good instincts and Donnell has confirmed it too. Between Kat and Deanna I wonder if the writers are going along with the jokes about black people being psychic, telepathic, or spiritually connected. Especially because even though Deanna is a light skin biracial girl she clearly prefers her black parent. This seems like a huge leap but honestly it's show business. Stranger types of favoritism has happened. Samantha's character is simple. She's a rich girl who's spoiled, insecure, and unsure of what she wants her future to be. It's actually a straightforward character.

Yes we do. And I want Deanna to ask Joey questions about the plasma stuff too. I wanted to take the time to post something about two villains. First of all I know it's an unpopular opinion but the fact that Mike is back as a villain is very interesting. He's such a piece of s__t but a sleazy type of lawyer like him is necessary. Mike vs Bill could legit be one of the biggest feuds of the show. As for Joey, the reason why he's white is because of political correctness. I truly believe that if Joey was a black man instead there would be a lot of complaints. I think the show wants to establish Joey as the big gangster and then bring in a black gangster later to be his rival.

BTG: May 2026 Discussion Thread
A small messy part of me wants to see Pamela and Joey in a scene together. These two posts will most likely be the most relatable posts in this whole thread. Deanna looked so badass! Once again I love my people and I love how we have fun. Between this and the footage of this past Christmas party, that cast and crew must be haven't the best time of their lives.

ALL: Those big, iconic soap moments
The performance of Stone's health decline should be put in the Hall of Fame of Soap Opera Performances. I'm a Michael Jackson fan and I remember finding out that the "Gone Too Soon" song on the Dangerous album was dedicated to a teenager named Ryan who had HIV/AIDS.

ALL: Those big, iconic soap moments
I didn't start looking up soap operas until the 2010s and I'm a younger millennial. But objectively it's insane how the Robin and Stone having AIDS storyline has impacted Generation X.

BTG: April 2026 Discussion Thread
@Tisy-Lish I'm gonna pass on Martin's office. @Paul Raven I'm gonna pass on all those offices, mid scale eatery, and Vernon's study room. I will however say this about the Banneker or high school set, there's only two teens and two college kids. Beyond The Gates has to start building their own Four Musketeers or Last Blast Generation in order for those sets to not be a waste of money. This is dope.

I'm glad y'all reminded me about the lack of a swimming pool. As for sets I was more focused on the lack of a set for the clinic and Naomi's law office.

Days: Sony to begin releasing previous seasons on YT?
And that sucks because I also like GH. The more subtle parts of RKK's performance as Stavros back in the early 2000s was really good.
