BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

[DramatistDreamer]

Sometime ago, I posted the possibility that they may not go full tilt in promotion until after the election. Consider it- the attention of the majority of the target audience will likely be consumed with the campaign of VP Harris through Election Day. Would they really want to try to compete with that?

I mean, some random, no-name blogger isn't the best of sources. A lot of people are taking what Soaps in Depth posted as them confirming his casting, when it didn't do that.

RA also hinted at going to a "bigger network" so I think it tracks. We'll have to see

But it's all speculative right now, and everyone is taking Depth's article as fact. That the one you linked stated he told them he was going, but that's entirely untrue.

@Liberty City I also noticed how several sources are citing the speculation in the SID article as confirmation. If Real Andrews is cast (and he probably is), I am hoping its for the role of Joseph, the ex-husband of Dani, but he is probably more likely Anita's husband Patrick.

There are several, less-known websites citing the In Depth article as confirmation, but he never spoke to them. Their article even states it's from his Instagram and that he signed an NDA. Realistically, he'd be "Patrick" over "Joseph".

Maybe Errol or Toups can edit my post for me, since I apparently can't. thanks

Complete speculation here, but does anyone think the reason Robert Gossett (Marshall) is leaving GH is because he has been cast on BTG? 

[Liberty City]

Please NO!

I don't think it would be wise to leave the heavy promotion so late. At best it would have a couple of weeks after the election and I don't think that would be enough to get all the attention and interest it would need. They really need to start to ramp up the promotion soon. It's nice to hear casting news but unless there are any A listers waiting in the wings, casting news is largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. 

TBH CBS hasn't done themselves any favours by their scheduling. Ideally BTG should have premiered in September because as you said any major news or attention is going to be lost most likely.

Oh I’m in the same boat, but I was just catching up on GH and reading this thread and got to thinking that the timing is suspect….

[Liberty City]

Nah. I think it's just coincidental.

All but assuring Emmy gold for BTG.

 We know the academy loves him! 

I am a bit surprised that they didn't dribble out casting announcements after the huge Tamara Tunie news, to keep up the momentum.

I don't lean heavily towards this being a reputable source for confirmation. That being said, I'm feeling like it's noticeably possible just by the timing of it. The actor's real life age helps with the possibility of him being cast as the senator patriarch Patrick.
