I absolutely do not want B&B to fail or to be canceled. I love the show and have watched it since day one. My reason for saying what I did, if the ratings go down maybe CBS would step in and finally make some much needed behind the scenes changes. But again, to be clear, I want B&B to very much succeed.

I am so happy BTG is back and yesterday's episode didn't disappoint. I love Smitty and I'm really happy he's getting into the thick of things with Martin's secret. I can't wait for it all to come out.

Hopefully, the week of repeats doesn't stall the recent surge in the ratings for BTG. B&B deserves to drop.

I'm going to the B&B fan club event next month, and I got the surprise of a lifetime; I get to visit the new studio. I am so excited.

Yay!!! Let's go, BTG 🥳🥳🥳

In the grand scheme of things, I guess it doesn't really matter at this point, but do you think we'll ever find out why CBS chose to air a week of repeats???

I swear, I'm really trying but Y&R is just so bad. Having the cast sent to Nice, with these abysmal production values, isn't helping move along the stupidity of this story. The saving grace for me??? I love the new costume designer and hopefully we never hear the name Aristotle Dumas again!

I'm devastated we have to wait an entire week before we get a new episode. Hopefully, the other four soaps keep me entertained until BTG comes back 🤪🤪🤪

Why, what??? Are you asking why I feel BTG ratings should be higher??? Maybe because Y&R is boring and B&B is just ridiculous and not in a good way. At least BTG is trying to do something different. It's all new characters to discover and my interest is piqued daily.

I was actually kind of shocked there was no mention of Juneteenth. Maybe next year.

I totally agree with you, up to a point. Yes, it may have been a reach to think of a production move, but nothing would be surprising nowadays. ABC did with All My Children and if CBS thought it could save money, I think they would jump at the chance.

In Ben Gavins IG story today, he was reading a script and Tracey Thomson is listed as Co-Headwriter.

I hate that BTG isn't higher; it's crazy to me. I still watch B&B and Y&R but I need BTG to exceed both of them

Maybe they are moving production to CA since the state just increased their tax incentives??? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Ted finally had a backbone today. As much as I love Nicole, I'm glad Ted stood his ground with her. And to be fair, Ted tried to tell Nicole about Martin, and she jumped to conclusions and shifted the conversation to Dani & Andre. Hayley is such a loser, IMO. I can't wait for whatever she thinks she's doing blows up in her face. I'm a little confused why Tomas ran out on Kat. They do have chemistry but maybe Bill got into his head and he got cold feet? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

I have no words. Y&R goes up in the ratings and BTG goes down??? How is this reality??? Yes, I'm totally aware BTG isn't perfect, but it's a really good show and deserves better ratings IMO.

I don't hate Pamela, per se, but I hate CM accent. She can do so much better with this character but I will give her more time. I loved Vernon & Bill going toe to toe in today's episode. They were both formidable IMO. Nicole showing Eva such grace makes me love her character even more. Also, I'm sold on nuTed. It was fun seeing crazy Leslie today and I LOL at Bill throwing Tomas out of his office. Overall, another great episode.

Friday's episode was fire; so good. I enjoyed every minute of it. Smitty is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I'm glad we're finally going to learn Martin's secret. I can't wait to find out what it is. I love how it seems like it's tied to other stories.

That's right. Thanks for the clarification.

I'm terribly disappointed where the AD story is going. BF is a very talented and handsome actor, but his casting reminds me of Maura West, as Diane. I am going to try and give BF the benefit of the doubt, but I have ZERO faith in JG.

I am majorly intrigued by Martin's story. I love how it looks like Smitty is going to uncover it all through his work. I honestly have no clue what the secret is. We got a mention of Tomas having a younger brother named, Ramon. I wonder if we'll meet him anytime soon. Also, I can't figure out June's deal either. Lots of unanswered questions and a lot of speculation on my part. But still very invested overall.

Yeah, B&B is just bad. I am devastated Daphnee is back. I truly hate the character and it's completely contrived having her come back to LA. I'm glad we FINALLY got a Jack mention. But again, where's RJ, Rick and it's ridiculous Thomas is not there. The show needs a complete overhaul IMO. Electra & Will need their own storyline away from Forrester and since they have written Luna into a corner, that was a complete bust. Having Remy & Luna as partners in crime could have been fun, but Luna is just too nuts. Lastly, no offense against RB, but she's just not Taylor.

What happened to GH on Tuesday??? Just wow!!! Of course, I'm glad to see BTG holding it's own.

I'm really enjoying MM portrayal of Smitty. He's really good at his investigative reporter job, he's a great Dad, and he's a great husband to Martin. I want to learn more about their backstory as a couple and Smitty's life before Martin. Chelsea is absolutely coming off as thirsty to me and Madison seems to good to be true. I think this pairing is going to hit the skids quickly. I have absolutely loved Vanessa this week, even though she's a total whore LOL I am definitely intrigued to see how this all plays out. Ashley & Derek get a lot of criticism. I don't hate them but Ashley is completely neurotic and Derek just comes off as desperate. Ashley 100% wants Andre and he likes her too, but the writers need to do more to make the audience want them together as a couple. Shockingly, I like Dani & Andre but I do feel Dani & Bill are endgame.

GH is much improved story wise and I'm happy they are having more people tuning in. ABC Daytime is basically in shambles, though. How is Y&R still pulling in these numbers??? It is so boring, but sadly, I think I answered my own question, because I'm still watching. B&B being a million viewers ahead of BTG is mind boggling. I am just happy BTG has been so steady in the key demos and total viewers. They are doing pretty well and that is extremely gratifying.
