I always wondered why Austin was so passive about custody of Will.  His argument to Carrie is just basically that would be mean because Sami gave birth to him.  She drugged and raped you Austin and actively tries to destroy her own sister (your fiancé).   It wouldn't be hard for Austin to get primary custody IMO.  Obviously he's not the father but we didn't know that then.  I don't know why I loved this story so much.  It's so stupid and so is Austin.  

CC is really natural onscreen even as a child.  I don't think she's the best actress, but she's very good with her screen partners and very likable.

Nowadays fans are up in arms about pre emptions for major political events, imagine the outcry if Days was interrupted by a report about the moon.

How times have changed. That whole race to the moon was deemed big news. Did the average viewer really care?

I remember getting aggravated when they would pre-empt for the astronaut returns.  The capsule would just splash in the ocean and you really couldn’t see anything since they were filming from a distance.  Then the commentators would repeat what had just happened.  Did enjoy the moon landing but that happened at night where I lived.

Tbf, it was different back then. There were only like three channels, so preemptions were unavoidable, unlike nowadays where there are countless places you can watch the hearings or any other news event, but still only one place where you can watch your soap or other daytime show at its scheduled time. I still think regular programming doesn't need to be interrupted.

And besides, astronauts were a lot more likable than politicians

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Randy (Doug's friend who works for Joey) -- Joey told Randy weeks ago that Joey's plan was to get Doug into so much debt that Doug would be forced to get Vanessa's real estate holding turned over to Joey, to use for money-laundering.  That's been the plan all along, which the viewers knew.  The only thing new is that Joey finally told Doug this. I think Joey is written badly.  I also think Jon Lindstrom is doing "Now I am going to act menacing".   But I don't really feel the menace.  It's too overdramatic and it doesn't feel like a real person.  Jon is a fine actor on GH, so I don't know what's happening here -- the entire BTG mobster premise is badly designed/written.  I don't know if Guza pushed for a mobster storyline?  Or did Jon?  (Jon wrote a novel about Hollywood mobsters). It just doesn't fit.  It feels (to me) like this storyline for Jon was just shoved onto the canvas but it doesn't fit all all. Monday's scene of Mona coming into the "casino" to check up on where Leslie supposedly lost money in the slot machines -- and Randy explaining to Mona that there are no slot machines, there is nothing but the card room.  I had to laugh because they had characters comment that it's just a card room and not a casino -- the show is now acknowledging that there's nothing there.  If they are going to do this, then have it make sense for Fairmont Crest residents to visit a high-end glamourous casino, and not a random room with one table. So what money is Joey laundering? A while back, Joey told Vanessa that he knows about her sexual philandering because owns the escort service that she'd been using. But I don't care...  I'd just prefer that the entire mobster storyline go away.

      I caught up this past weekend. The show is better written, but I have been bored with the show. I did notice it ranked in the top 5 again this week, so that's a good sign.

      I can't take this show seriously. I truly miss WJB writing this show. Bradley didn't inherit his dad's talent.

      I haven't had a chance to view the interview, but I'm glad Mike didn't get the part of Derek.  Derek is a badly written character. Any Ben Gavin screenshot from yesterday's show?

      Wait, what? So, Martin’s not running for President anymore? Just like that?  I didn’t expect this storyline to be long term but I would’ve liked to see it play out for a little while longer, or at least until Martin’s secret was revealed. And definitely not fade out with a whimper. Sort of like Naomi’s lawsuit against Bill’s firm; what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up so easily and (probably) forgotten about?  Eva is still the breakout character though. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes from here with everyone, especially if the twist that we’re all suspecting turns out to be true.  And I did find the gambling storyline interesting finally, now that we know Joey’s endgame. I’d like to see it play out and to see what happens to everybody involved in it.  As for Derek/Ashley… I wonder how it would’ve played out if they actually had cast Mike Manning as Derek. Yeah, the writing isn’t there but I imagine that Derek would have more of a personality lol and I also imagine that it would’ve made Ron Carlivati’s head explode

      Ben Gavin did look hot though
