Members te. Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 I love it - I was just saying I wanted a bit more character focus. I will say that some moments are on the cheesy side of things Please register in order to view this content I also think that I already know that I'm going to hate the influencer storylines and just roll my eyes so hard at it, but I guess it's realistic these days Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 (edited) No, I agree. I was just telling a friend this is where ABCD has had it over on CBS' daytime dept for at least a decade now - the Y&R, etc. promos have been incredibly shallow and superficial for years. Just random action and lines. GH's promo dept is certainly not what it used to be, but their promos and many of ABCD's for other shows are/were often a bit more character-driven in the modern era. Fortunately this isn't like those Y&R promos, but I do think it could go deeper. It's a fun trailer and I get why they are highlighting the glitz and OTT soapiness for the general audience and to bring in new viewers - to underline 'this is a soap opera about wealthy Black people.' Spotlighting high drama and messy behavior does get eyes on the show, and that is important. I just hope they modulate these promos a bit once they're on the air. Though frankly I don't trust CBS Daytime to get those right. Edited January 31 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 Today's promo is another example of why we should trust the process when it comes to the promo. We're still 4 weeks away from the premiere and they continue to deepen the promo as we get closer to the premiere date. People were just asking for character profiles and boom, there they are. They continue to show us that they're committed to doing this right. Also, on the subject of spoilers, I wonder how that will be once the show is on the air. I hope it doesn't end up being a soap where everything is known prior to it airing. So many big twists end up spoiled which is fine, but I'd prefer to be surprised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 This is in my opinion the most exciting promo so far! It gets better and better AND BETTER! WOW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 Totally - if the show fails to attract an audience, or worse, if the desired target of Black women don't support it, it wasn't for lack of trying on the part of CBS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 I will be That Guy and say maybe it's because I always found Timon Durrett so fine as yet another cheater on Queen Sugar, but I think Bill and Dani may bring it back around together eventually. He is a commanding presence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 I'd love for BTG to return us to the time of no spoilers. None. Make everything a surprise. That "Welcome to Fairmont Crest" with the finger snap at the end was sooooo good! Chef's kiss! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 Teasers not spoilers please! eg Anita faces danger v Anita is pushed down the stairs. Not a great example but you get the gist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alan Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 I love that the drips of information are becoming more frequent, and we are still 23 days away! The latest promo shows even more of the character dynamics, including the potential sibling rivalry between Dani/Nicole, insinuations of Bill's influence over the Duprees, the conflicts in Martin and Smitty's marriage, Hayley's struggle to be accepted in FC. I love it! I also love the fact that the Thomases have been confirmed as rivals to the Dupree faction. It looks like they will bring class dynamics into the story as well which is terrific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
