BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

OK TY

I trust MVJ. That's all I have to say. Ron isn't my favorite writer; however, I have the same feelings as others that him being in a subordinate role means he can't stray too much from the head writers' vision. 

I wish MVJ had snagged her good friend, Patrick Mulcahey, for a position on the show.

He might be profoundly over it after the GH debacle. But who knows about the future.

I thought so. Good to know.

Gregori J. Martin is new to daily broadcast TV soaps... but not new to soaps. He's been the showrunner for The Bay for around 13 years.  (The Bay has a limited number of episodes per year, but still).

Fully reppin’ the brand. Love my #beyondthegates family already. If I’m dreaming, don’t wake me up, okay? #cbs #cbstv

Excuse me...WHAT???

[Liberty City]

Seeing how supportive the cast is of each other is so nice to see.

[Taoboi]

Oh, I would die if Jonelle Allen shows up.

Loving these. And that picture of them opening the doors to the sets...just...WOW. A moment.

If he is over it, I hope he has a change of opinion and joins MVJ at BTG. I've always enjoyed Mulcahey since his stint at GL with Nancy Curlee.

I'm so excited for them going into Friday's taping. I know there are a lot of nerves, but so much joy and a commitment to make this work. Launching a soap in 2025 is unheard of, but the fact that they took such a risk with a Black-led soap makes it so much more meaningful and they know that. The audience and the endless Black actors who have been wasted on soaps deserve this moment. 

I'm not complaining about anything or asking for anything else (they spoiled us this week), I'm just wishing them all the luck in the world. 

[Vee]

It is very exciting. With pictures like that you think a lot about the actors you wish could've been here to see it. I can think of a few.

[Taoboi]

Same.

1. Generations was half-hour rather than hour.

2. Yes, in a sense, BTG is "blacker" so to speak. Those pics of the actors certainly display more black faces than anyone else. There's only like four white actors and one Hispanic if I've observed correctly.
