I really appreciate Errol pointing out the positive with BTG ratings, even though the show took a real hit week over week. BTG from the beginning has had way more total viewers than The Talk. I want CBS to announce a multi-year renewal this month for the show.

OMG, I loved today's episode. From the character development over the past 13 months, to the family drama with the McBride's, to Joey having Hayley's number, to Kat getting Naomi involved with the Hayley shenanigans and Kat and Donnell bonding. Because I care about the characters today's episode was that more thrilling.

I love to hate Hayley. She's a piece of work and I want Lynette to take her down. Finally, it looks like Bill is getting a clue. Hayley being exposed should be epic. I enjoyed seeing the Richardson- Smith's in family mode. BC's delivery has regressed to him sounding like he's dictating a speech, but I love their family dynamic. I'm still enjoying the show immensely and I'm looking forward to May sweeps and the Y&R crossover.

I'm finally caught up on GH, having been two weeks behind and all I can say is wow! All involved must be commended for the execution of Marco's departure and SB temporary exit story. I'm sad Marco was killed off. I thought AA really started to hit his stride in the role. There were so many directions they could have taken with Marco but alas the writers chose this path. I just hope Lucas isn't backburned because of recent events. I may be in the minority but I like Britt & Jason together. He makes her tolerable for me. I'm looking forward to when Jason comes back. As for Nathan and his return, I'm honestly still not sure how I feel about it. I think his reintroduction was clunky. It could have been because of KS leave of absence but Nathan seemed aimless and the intrigue faded quickly upon his return. While I do like Nathan & Lulu how could they have Nathan seamlessly slip back into his life without more conflict and pushback from others?

I feel BTG is more of a character driven show with a sprinkle of plot. Everyday we're getting to know the characters better and threads are being sown consistently. We've had the big reveal Eva was Ted's daughter, we discovered Martin's secret, we found out what happened to The Articulette's and Dana/Leslie being Barbara's daughter and now Anita's battle with cancer. Those are big revelations for a show that has only been on the air 13 months. What I do find odd however, is that there are only 19 contract players and 30+ non-contract players. Is that because of the budget? Is it cheaper to have a heavily recurring cast as opposed to having to meet contract guarantees? I do respect that the show is committed to the contract cast they chose with only two changes (recasting Ted and making Ben Gavin non-contract), I feel that at some point they should focus on the characters that are working and put those actors on contract (Shanice/Joey/Izaih/Grayson/Kial/Tyrell/Samantha/Donnell/Deanna and I want Derek back on contract). I understand the show is literally still a work in progress and they are doing a lot right but I would focus on the contract players and limit the addition of new characters for awhile. That would be my only real suggestion to improve things at this point.

Thanks, Toups. I am really happy with BTG Wednesday numbers. I hope those continue.

OMG, it took me 3 months to notice??? 🤣🤣🤣

I wonder if we'll be getting a renewal announcement about BTG over the next couple of weeks, since CBS finalized it's shows for the 2026-27 season. The schedule will be announced on April 15th and I think we're going to hear something about BTG.

I am happy for all the soaps doing well. Nielsen has never adequately presented data I thought was accurate but I will take this as a win.

The tears were definitely flowing watching this episode 😭😭😭

Wow, today's episode was great, because of the Dupree's. Anita broke my heart. Dani & Nicole at the club were the comic relief for me and the Scooby Doo gang were more interesting than usual.

Yes, that I remember but he has been receiving on screen credit as Executive in Charge since the SONY demotion. I noticed in today's episode he's no longer listed.

How long has Steve Kent not been onscreen as Executive in Charge at Y&R???

I haven't posted about BTG for a few days but yesterday's episode really touched me. The way TT and CD played their scenes were so natural and real to me. They were definitely the highlight. As for Dani & Bill they are 100% playing with fire but that connection they have obviously hasn't been severed, despite everything. Smitty & Jacob playing Scooby Doo made me chuckle 😃 😀 😄 Overall, it was a strong episode IMO.

Yay!!! I'm happy it's finally happening. At the fan event this past August we were told all about this. Happy 39th Anniversary B&B 🎉🎉🎉

I'm definitely bummed about this. I wonder why Hulu backed out???

I'm happy for Drew. The times I have watched, I was entertained. The daytime landscape is most definitely changing. I'm not sure it's for the best or not; only time will tell. At least the soaps appear to be holding their own in the ratings.

I am so sick of Ridge, Brooke and Steffy with their holier than thou attitudes about EVERYTHING. I did enjoy Katie throwing Bill in Brooke's face for stealing him from her. I love Will, as dumb as he is. I also don't trust Dylan but Electra is ridiculous.

I don't think it's a secret how much I love BTG. I'm also aware that the show is not perfect but honestly what show is??? I watch the other four soaps but the difference with BTG is I'm entertained everyday and most definitely look forward to each episode. I can't say the same about some of the others. I watch more out of habit. BTG has very much established itself as a real contender to becoming a cultural sensation IMO. I'm just enjoying the ride.

I'm just dumbfounded. I don't get it. How are Y&R and B&B increasing??? Yes, I still watch both daily, along with BTG, but I basically hate watch Y&R.

Seeing the dailies for BTG definitely put a smile on my face. I pray this momentum continues.

We all have our opinions and likes and dislikes. With that being said, the fact BTG has only been on a year and has been so consistent in the ratings, with the upward trend happening now, is a major accomplishment. Even on it's "slower" days there is always something entertaining in each episode. The fashions, the hairstyles, the witty/sharp dialogue, and the character development has been a welcomed change of pace for me.

Oh, I also forgot to mention I love the updated scenic direction at Will's beach house. It looks way better than it did before.

With Y&R's ratings seemingly going up, CBS/Sony will never get rid of Josh Griffith. Y&R just seems directionless. What is the show even about anymore??

I like that we have multiple stories happening as opposed to one storyline being featured ad nauseum. I like Will/Electra/RJ/Dylan. I think it's a good thing to feature the next generation. I wish they would somehow integrate Deke more with them but I guess that can happen in time. Deke, Hope and Steffy talking about their parents love lives is ridiculous. Steffy comes off like a controlling shrew and Hope & Deke need to get their own lives. Ridge finally accepting his role in Eric's feeling of being put out to pasture is growth for Ridge. But, will it last??? I will say those scenes with Sheila/Deacon/Taylor were absolutely cringe worthy.
