I'm on my way back home to San Diego, but the luncheon yesterday and the studio tour today was AMAZING. I will share more later.

OMG, BTG friday episode, YIKES! WTH??? I loved the concert 😪😪😪

I really like the potential of Derek & Shanice. I think they could really be awesome together. Btw, Derek looks HOT in his workout gear. As for Ashley, I don't hate her per se, but she's neurotic and I think she needs to be made a villian. Dani's one-liners today were amazing. I cackled a few times. I like how everyone is getting a turn with an "A" story.

I watch Y&R daily and it's not good. It's so surprising to me that it's doing as well as it is the ratings. It is unbelievable to me that BTG went down, even if it was ever so slightly. I'm happy for GH. The "wedding" was very dramatic and well done. As for B&B, I got nothing.

You have to be kidding me. That line Cane delivered about having an exact replica of his train on every continent was absolutely ridiculous LOL As much as MS gets on my nerves as Phyllis, most of the time, I did enjoy her sparring with Billy. The worst part about today's episode; They had Cole's service off camera and then they talked about what happened at the service. Make it make sense, please!!!

BTG has been absolute fire. It just keeps getting better and better. I, too, want Smitty & Martin back together. They feel like a real couple to me now. I, also, love Samantha & Tyrell. TT was incredible in her scenes Friday and today. So good. And I think my favorite thing about today's episode: they actually had a full room of extras at the country club. Such a joy to watch and witness.

BTG is definitely holding it's own. I have to assume CBS is happy the show is being competitive in the timeslot and that it's doing much better than The Talk. As I've said before, we just need to get the show over two million total viewers mark. We can do it.

I am thrilled for EH. However, it is not lost on me that she thanked JFP. I wonder what she is actually doing at Y&R.

So, I don't hate Ashley and I like her more when she's being OCD or neurotic. She definitely has more chemistry with Andre than she does with Derek. Derek & Shanice is definitely a better pairing and maybe they will branch out with Ashley beyond Derek & Andre.

So, I was watching today's episode of Y&R (July 29th) and after it ended tomorrow's episode(July 30th) started on Paramount+ 😳😳😂

I was for sure B&B would be the first CBS soap that would crossover to BTG, but I still think it's exciting "Devon" is making an appearance.

It's absolutely shameful. Honestly, what is Y&R even about anymore???

It is beyond idiotic for Y&R to kill off Chance, one of the very few Chancellor's left and Cane doesn't count as one. JG is horrible and I can't say that enough. I have really tried to give him the benefit of the doubt for years but no more. He needs to go.

I am beyond thrilled that DAYS not only was renewed, but for two more years. Such great news and congratulations 🎊 🎊🎊

Yay!!! This news definitely brightened my day. 🥳🥳🥳

Having Nick tell Ridge to shut up and stop calling Brooke, Logan, was awesome. It was the best of B&B this decade 🤪🤪🤪

I really like Billy Flynn, but having watched Y&R for many years, to have him as Cane is way too jarring. Additionally, this entire story in Nice is atrocious. Sharon has been held captive three times this year. ENOUGH already. It's just bad. And Phyllis has become beyond insufferable. The character in my opinion is useless. She slithers around and says a lot but does absolutely nothing. Y&R needs a complete overhaul.

I truly enjoyed the interview with Sheila Ducksworth. She's articulate, intelligent and very charismatic. The interview was informative and a good use of time. Apparently, I'm in the minority, but I love RB & GR 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

I can't believe it's been almost five months since the premiere. IMO, BTG has had far less growing pains than some of the other soap premieres I have seen. The stories have been compelling, the acting top-notch and with really great production values to boot. Nicole, has always been my favorite. As for Ted, he's a terrible father to Martin and terrible husband to Nicole. Brandon Claybon has improved but he still comes off like he's reading a speech when he speaks. I want to also express how much I'm enjoying Shanice & Derek. Ashley is completely neurotic and knowing that is making me want to know more about her character.

Great news that BTG didn't lose too many viewers after the week of repeats. They definitely have a core and loyal audience that they just need to grow. I need them at the 2 million viewer mark.

I totally agree with both of you.

I assumed Smitty got the information from one of his "contacts".

JG is WAY past his expiration date. Y&R has had no long-term story direction for YEARS. Yes, there have been fleeting moments of brilliance, that quickly fizzle into nothingness. I sincerely hope CBS makes some real behind the scenes changes at Y&R and B&B. I want all three CBS soaps to be must-see TV and sadly only BTG is, IMO.

Uhmmmm, Mariah??? WTH??? 😳😳😳

OMG, today was so gooood!!! What Martin was seeing was REAL; Kenny was there!!! And, Tyrell told Martin off, even though he was an idiot for bringing that loser home LOL I loved the scenes with Shanice/Derek/Ashley/Andre. So unexpected IMO. And hurricane Dani 😂😂😂 Smitty is quickly becoming one of favorites, along with Nicole, Eva, Dana/Leslie, Vernon, Bill, Kat and Anita. Welcome back BTG ❤️❤️❤️
