ALL: What do you hope for soaps in 2026?
BTG Bigger POV for Nicole and more consistent. She had no real story this season, in my opinion. Better ways to utilize her occupation, she's around the hospital a lot, but we don't work much because everyone is family. Vernon needs a storyline of his own. Hope we see more outdoor scenes. Martin's reveal and the Naomi and Bill scene from the first week added a level of realism that I enjoyed. More useful sets. That new cafe shop was not needed; we have enough eateries. Showcase a variety of different types of stories in a week/episode. Scenes with more adrenaline and action. At least one segment should have high drama. Build more romances from the story. Like, if we're digging into ChelseaKat's business, I hope Kat gets a new man from it. And he stirs up drama between them. Dr. Kial could have been a shady politician trying to date Nicole. Most of the male characters still need improvement, but right now, I have issues with a lot of female characters, too. So just work on making the main characters more likable and rootable. @NothinButAttitude I agree about the workplace drama and political intrigue. The show needs it! The way I thought the show would be rolling in scandals because of Vernon and Martin's backgrounds. Still holding out hope that Joey's escort service will serve a bigger purpose.

ALL: Best soap rivalries of all time
Erica always accused Brooke of going after her leftovers. It started with them competing for Tom Cudahey's affections. He eventually marries Erica first, and Brooke, years later, the show continued the tradition with Adam Chandler and Jack Montgomery. Brooke also dated Erica's brother, Mark Dalton. There were deeper undercurrents, though Erica was striving to be Queen of Pine Valley, just like Phoebe English Wallingford. Brooke English, a member of the founding family, poses a threat to that title; her lineage gives her privilege and power. She is also a respected journalist and editor, well-liked by the community, with genuine friends. This juxtaposed with Erica's entrepreneurial rise, pure genius.

BTG: September 2025 Discussion Thread
June and Ted actually make perfect sense to me as a couple. The potential for drama writes itself. I believe the show should go for it, and they had nice chemistry.

And not entirely right either, cause imo she doesn't know what caused Barbara's suicide, she could've been dealing with something else. Leslie is just assuming, and without any facts. I feel like she was only right about Eva.- BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

Thank you!🫶🏿 Same. I came around to enjoying scenes with Andre, too. Yeah, her logic that they took my mother, my man, and almost my daughter was a little off, but she is a cuckoo. I couldn't agree more. It's very frustrating. I get him trying to overcompensate with Eva, but at least run this by with Kat first. Kat has the right not to want them at her launch.- BTG: August 2025 Discussion Thread
And I agree with/ @Maxim take all the time you need. Your thoughts and opinions are always welcome here. I certainly have been there before and said it out loud, LOL. Soap watching can be stressful. I do hope to one day read your comments on the show again, but until then...😉- BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

I can't argue with you over the pacing. I agree, they are, and you can lose some of the dramatic flair that way. Overall, I liked this week.- BTG: August 2025 Discussion Thread
I'm sure to be alone in this, but getting rid of Ted altogether will be a little bit of a copout. I believe the writers should put some effort into making him more likable. Ted should be a big deal on this show. He needs some serious characterization, delve more into his life before Nicole, learn a bit more about his family and upbringing, and give him a storyline around his career. A Black male plastic surgeon on TV is very rare. This dude came from humble beginnings and is intelligent, the perfect male character to inspire a 13-year-old boy watching with his grandma. I want better for Ted.- Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread
