I think with Kristian back there was no way they could've allowed Bo/Billie to continue despite their popularity, unless Kristian had majorly taken off with someone else. (Which has never happened, despite many attempts including many with Drake, some by JER himself)

I adored Bo and Billie as a kid and was heartbroken by their break-up, but I knew it was probably inevitable bc I'd been made familiar with the legend of Bo and Hope.

I was thrilled to see the end of Bo/Billie, since I have never liked Billie, no matter who played her. And JER tried to destroy Bo/Hope at her expense, and...that's where I am.

The fact that RKK turned out to be a trashy human just made the pivot back to Bo/Hope that much easier.

I think Bo/Bille/Hope could have been a much more viable quad ala John/OGRoman/Marlena if all actors stayed in place or even with a PR swap out.  I don't think Rinna had awesome chemistry with PR, but she herself was a chemistry magnet back then so I do think the triangle had legs.   If RKK stayed as Bo there would have been more rooting value towards Bo/Billie, but if the timing was better and people weren't leaving as others were coming I think it's a strong top or 2nd story to John/Marlena/Kristen as opposed the third or fourth tier treatment it was given in the late 90's.  But it is what it is.  I do think Bo/Hope were done a bit dirty by JER and I don't have the strong pull towards them as I do to John/Marlena and I think it is wholly based on when I started watching and who was the #1 couple.

I have no issue with Peter or Kristian together. I just think most of their stories in the last 30 years have sucked, lol. That's not their fault. Re-pairing Bo and Billie definitely wouldn't work now, though.

Oh for sure.  It would never work. On a different note, I noticed when Kate was talking to Bo she was saying they were family mentioning how she was married to his father and brother, but no mention of being his daughter's grandmother.  Does Chelsea not exist anymore?  lol..

Kate mentioned Chelsea to Bo today, so I'm glad the writers didn't forget that history. 

So, an anti-age serum to make Megan and Bo dip into the fountain of youth?

 Okay. Actually, it would be funny if Megan and Bo reverted back to 30 or 40 years ago played by a younger Bo and Megan, lol! Meanwhile, Dr. Rolf seems to be having issues aging them back. After a year or so, older Hope becomes a cougar for her younger Bo. And it's Hope's kiss that ages Bo back to 60 while Megan remains to be the younger breathless wonder who still wants to be with her Papi. And that Papi is Bo Brady.

This storyline is genius.

They actually remembered Chelsea today

I liked the Bo/Kate scenes. Peter and Lauren actually have good non-romantic chemistry. Similar to the chemistry that he had with Loretta Devine in BS2. And the cliffhanger was really good again as well. 

And I did see a little chemistry between Harris and Hope Not a lot, but some.

As for who stole the orchid, I don’t mind it. But they really gotta beef up security at the Dimera mansion. Everything’s that happened over there in the past year and people still can pass through it like it’s a subway station

C'mon, Kate. We all know how hospital gowns work. Show us some skin! So, they do make hospital gowns in that color. When I was at the hospital, they looked at me all weird when I asked if they had gowns in a shade of blue instead of green. I look better in blue although I do like a good kiwi or forest green. Back to Kate, show us some skin!

...for the same reason why soap fans get/got mad when their octogenarian favorites weren't given frontburner storylines anymore even though the actors could barely remember their lines.

For a good 20+ years now, so many soap fans (of all the soaps, not just DAYS) were only interested in their 80's/90's favorites, and the newbies were rejected by and large. So here we are, 2023, and our adventurous superheroes need walking canes and hearing aides (Drake is sporting one, yes?)

  He's so gorgeous!  How can you not lust after him?

Anyway, today's show was fine.  It absolutely looks like a Beyond Salem episode especially when they give the location/time updates lol and use some weird hospital commercial background for the ISA headquarters.  I highly doubt Hope's spy skills are revered throughout the ISA.

Marlena is going to telepathically reach out to John.  The moment everyone  (just me lol) has been waiting for.  

I think KA and SBu have really good chemistry.  Yes, I hate myself over it, but they do........

Peter was a little better today.  So the screen said several hours later and cut to John/Steve at the Pub but the second scene was Kate/Bo.  Were they just literally standing around staring at each other for several hours because the scene picked up the same scenario/convo lol.

I am absolutely interested in my faves and watch for them, but I would be fine with their children being involved.  I know people talk a lot about the veterans airtime and I always enjoy seeing them, but Deidre is like 75 years old.  We are lucky she is still acting lol.

And, yes, Drake has a visible hearing aid.

      I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.

In the loving arms of his wife, Dr. Marlena Evans, John took his last breath at the end of the June 2 episode, after suffering devastating internal injuries during a lab explosion. The iconic character went out as he lived — a hero. Sensing the fans’ devastation on Monday, Marlena’s portrayer Deidre Hall posted this simple-but-powerful message to fans on Instagram: “I know. I know. Hardest day ever.”

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Now coming into June...well...   I knew it was coming but I didn't like the start to the next round of Dani/Bill/Hayley. As the 3 A plots from the start of the show (The SilkPress storyline and Martin's Secret being the other two), it needed to be benched for a while to develop those characters and allow other characters and storylines to grow. 3 months in, Hayley is the weak link, Dani is still divisive, but not boring, and Bill has been making his mark with some plots faster than others. So last week seeing the story starting to loop back around to them with Hayley's potential pregnancy, I honestly had mixed feelings.   I get it. The SilkPress storyline is currently in aftermath/next turn mode, so it has to be moved into a C plot position. Moreso if we want to keep the very talented Miss Trish around. And I love how clever the writers are being with the storyline. They give us enough in the episodes and are still playing out beats to keep the appetite fed. I don't feel like anyone is being dumbed down to keep her around. And Trish is giving nuances in her alone scenes with NuTed. I shouldn't care for a clear psycho, but she be selling it. That said...I wish they had given us a little more of the Martin's Secret storyline in the last week of the month though I loved the game of cat and mouse Bill did on Martin and Smitty to keep the storyline alive and active after it had a nice build beginning of May and vanished for a week mid-May. And it appears like it's about to go back to the backburner as an A plot which of course leaves the A plot of Dani/Bill/Hayley.   I am probably in the minority as someone who is not anti-Dani here and even she annoyed the heck out of me last week. In character true, but I just felt like there was a way to get all of that across without it feeling like...as I've said before...one step forward, two steps back...and have it feel organic. I liked Hayley got a little bit of edge with her, but she still ain't no match for Dani. And it reminds to be seen if we should be going back to that well of a story yet.   Now about today's show...   And I thought Tracy was bad! lol. But YES. Sharon has been worth the wait. And so has Anita's story! Finally having TT in the limelight. This has been a nice slow burn for me and a nice B plot. And the actress is good. The wig is giving. And her holding what Anita's secret is over her head and threatening to tell Vernon....Ooooo...that is what I was waiting for.    And speaking of bad...I thought Eva vs Kat was a great rivalry. But I am loving the rivalry that is growing with 'Nancy Drew' and Silk Press Sheila! They both get good licks in and are so cunning with each other. And I definitely have liked that since the anniversary party, that it has been growing. Now that Kat has been proven right, she has not backed down. And neither has SilkPress. And we got a 'Ms. B@tch' moment, too? LOVE. Eva coming up with a trump card was delicious and so 90s Sami Brady. GOOD. And the coda with Jacob and the expert...YES. The Silk Press storyline has been the best paced on the show so I love that the aftermath of the anniversary party continues to be so...barring one flaw...well for me. Not enough Nicole's POV.   And I like the C plots on display. And by that, I mean Chelsea with Vernon. And it made me wonder what the writers have plan for her love life now that the throuple is over with. I was watching her and going awww.   And of course the mystery man around Martin. I am starting to wonder if he really even works at the country club given how he made a run for it. That would be a twist.    Speaking of Martin...good to see him in scenes with his father and mother.    I'm getting used to NuTed.    I felt the last episode of May was a bit of a letdown, but this was a very nice recovery.

      Unless they cut him, I'd think he would stay. Surely, he didn't choose to return because he expected high quality. I figure he gets to work when he wants and spend a lot of time doing his own thing and being with his family.

      The writing for Liz and Lucky is indeed terrible, but if JJ signed a one-year contract he may be gone in a couple of months anyway. Perhaps they’re just cutting their losses.

      That would be his older sister Stacey. She was the center of a big story back in the day. Nola was out to snag medical student Kelly Nelson, who she thought would provide her with the life she craved. He was in love with a girl named Morgan. Nola plotted to get pregnant by him, but couldn't manage to get him in bed. So she seduced Floyd, who thought she was in love with him. When she knew she was pregnant, she got Kelly drunk and made sure he woke up next to her in bed. Kelly believed her when she told him he made her pregnant. They were about to elope to Las Vegas, but her mother ratted her out and Kelly abandoned her. She almost married Floyd, but jilted him at the altar. She went to work for Quint. When the baby came prematurely, Kelly saved both of them. She named the baby Kelly Louise to irk Morgan, who was now married to Kelly. When she fell in love with Quint, she had a change of heart over all the trouble she had caused, so she changed the baby's name to Anastasia Louise, shortened to Stacey. Quint was a devoted stepfather and Henry treated her like his own granddaughter.  After Quint and Nola leave SF, I believe Stacey is never seen again. Which is odd, you would think they would have brought her back with Nola and J, but they never did.
