BTG: August 2025 Discussion Thread
I agree they should announce this ahead of time not just drop it on a Thursday that it is off next week. I feel that is disappointing and disrespectful as back in the day we would find out due to print publications being informed. Now it is just people finding out at the same time reruns show up n the DVR…

BTG: August 2025 Discussion Thread
One of my issues is the pacing as the speed of some plots work and others don’t for that reason. Bill having a stroke and being okay so quickly or Madison as a character generally but other things seem so long.

i wish they would have waited until the kids were out of high school or had them be curious about their biological family. Naomi doing what she did was wrong. i do wish the male characters were stronger.

Roger Thorpe from Guiding Light was an antihero when he returned in the late 80s. his actions were explained by both the show and the actor. I wish they would explain the why with Leslie. That is why the character is not working for me as well as she could.

R.I.P.: GH Star Tristan Rogers has passed away after battle with cancer
Still reeling about this and feel for Tristan’s family and friends. I had neighbors who sometimes watched me when I was little who were GH fans so I feel like I’ve known Scorpio since I was about 6.

BTG: July 2025 Discussion Thread
I was surprised by Kat’s reaction and wonder if they would do something surprising and make her the opposite of her model cousin. She falls for whom ever is near her, and instead have Kat be on the relationship spectrum and either barely feels attracted to anyone physically which is not something they do on US tv regularly.

BTG: July 2025 Discussion Thread
taoboi I was looking for clarification with the time line so thank you. Errol also thank you I was hoping by mid September unless there are more postponed episodes that would be the case. i don’t care for any housewives series though if they do a competition show I may know who they are. One of my biggest issues with the show is why is this happening and when will there be payoff? for example were Dani and Nicole old enough when the Articulletes (sp) were performing to know the other living members? did Anita go solo when the girls were kids? did she retire from singing to raise them? In one episode that seemed to be implied. but then why was the song Anita sang with Naomi and Dani sound like something out of the late 80s or early 90s instead of late 60s or 70s based on the age of the adult grandchildren and being a girl group. I am not assuming they are supposed to be in the time frame of En Vogue but earlier. At this point I fear this story is just an easy way to write Anita out if Tamara needs time off and provided her with a Daytime Emmy reel. I know I should not feel this way, but since it hasn’t rippled out to other people outside of Vernon…and there is no indication beyond one photo of Tamara in a cap with the group’s name that it will continue as the others aren’t regulars and the cast is already so large. For me it would be an easy fix, just tell us this is continuing later this year…I have been burned too many times with dropped plots in other series so I need reassurance. Why invest in the other singers in the group if they won’t get much attention? I mean something like we find out that one of the charities the Duprees support is suicide awareness and now we now why would also be something I would like to see.

I like the show, but it is missing something not sure what exactly maybe the follow through. There are moments but then it just stops. And it feels like feedback that isn’t positive is just ignored. The episodes airing now were after it premiered but instead of moving pieces we get the same as before. Did they say how much time Bill was in the hospital? Was there a time jump? Why is Nicole finally being upset and overreacting and everyone is acting like she shouldn’t be reacting?

BTG: Encore Discussion Thread
Yet another reason not to trust the network. and since their social media is so lacking it isn’t like they will provide any bonus content. I feel like they are taking the audience for granted or just don’t care with this sort of behavior.

BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos
I like to have an idea what the plan is. Do I need to know every story ahead of time, no but some info shouldn’t be kept a secret. For example, if an actor is written out for vacation or another project and is already back on set and it isn’t a major surprise just tell us how long they won’t be on approx. we used to get this info in the magazines more than 30 years when I was a kid. I don’t get why social media managers today don’t give us that info. if people are complaining about lack of POV for Nicole announcing that we will see her in a big scene the following week isn’t unreasonable. they need to realize that many viewers don’t have patience and if it seems like a plot is going in circles in a way you don’t enjoy you are going to complain especially if you have no concept of when it may change.

GH: Fan Fave Fired. Actress Blindsided
I believe Errol is trustworthy so some of what is going on may be personal but without more details won’t venture a guess. When some people not here act like this has never happened before I do shake my head. That said if this is a situation where we lose 20 to 30% of the cast between now and the premiere of the Gates and Kelly is just the first, I can understand the reaction more. Typically GH only gets rid of one major and then minor people unlike some other casting culls of the past on shows that no longer exist.

Guiding Light Discussion Thread
When Kim Simms left the reason given was the show wanted her for 2 years and she would only agree to one. So I think they actually liked her but didn’t want to have to renegotiate a contract again after a year if she had decided to stay. This was in a Logan article in tvguide I think but it has been over 30 years.

GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread
Churn is when people subscribe to a streaming service and then cancel Once the show they are a fan of ends and they only subscribe again when the show returns. I felt kind of weird watching real life exes with their fake kid at an imaginary wedding. At least some history was mentioned today.

Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread
The author of the book mentioned how he didn’t watch the show in the early years and only saw them on Soapnet. He started watching in real time later in the run. And he also admitted his love of Delia, from when he started watching the show.

GH: 60 Years of Stars & Storytelling
My issue as always is the whole we have the best fans who never stopped watching ever or will be with us no matter what we do. That is not true and sorry many of Cam’s fans probably liked him before he ever was on GH…so having him in that segment was odd.
