I agree; in both photos and videos, of the studio and its grounds, as well as other shows that have shot there, it looks capable for so much to be done. AND it looks like the studio grounds themselves are built for filming, so that's promising!!

I really like what Neighbours has continued to do, via Amazon MGM Studios, despite my displeasure for how their post-production has been (very green in the 2023 season, but the 2024 season has improved slightly). I'm praying for a proper 4K UHD production. Yes, CBS only airs in 1080p, but imagine the episodes going to Paramount+ in 4K UHD? That would be supremely amazing!!

I agree, and I fully believe that's why I do believe is part of the reason they went to Atlanta. New studio, new assets and technologies to use. It's going to be amazing. I just know it.

I love the UK production models, Eastenders and Emmerdale specifically are very visually pleasing to watch with their permanent outside sets.

I would love to see BTG do something similar but I’m expecting it to look closer to All My Children during the LA years. That on set announcement video with the core four leads  reinforced that expectation for me.

I wouldn't be upset about that. To me, All My Children had the best high definition production model of the then-six daytime soaps. But, it was also a very ABC production model I don't see fitting on CBS, if that makes sense..

I just have a hunch that we are going to be pleasantly surprised in all aspects here: the look of the show, the vibe, the way it moves, the storytelling aspect, etc. I think a suspenseful aspect will figure prominently in this show just because of the way most of the characters have been described. There's a lot that these characters can get themselves into. Three characters are attorneys, there's a retired former Senator, a Congressman, a successful psychiatrist, a highly successful plastic surgeon with his own practice, a real estate business owner specializing in luxury properties, a young photographer who inherited a fortune, a former singer, a former investigative reporter, a police detective, a waitress/bartender whose mind is not quite right, the nurse, the firefighter, the former model, and the paralegal dismissed as an opportunistic tramp. I'M SO EXCITED for February.

Give me an opportunistic tramp on a rainy day and I'm good to go.

In the end, all I care about are the characters and the stories.  You can have the best production values in the business, but it doesn't mean crap if the characters and the stories aren't interesting.

SO excited for February 24th! I will be leaving work early and watching Live. I cannot wait to see a new soap premiere and am dying to find out how it all turns out.

I was a tween and my older sister was a young adult.  In summer 1969, we had begun watching OLTL and GH together.   
So guess I began watching OLTL when it was 11 months old.
I remember watching All My Children from near its January 1970 beginning, but I was in school and there was no way to record a show.  I think I watched every AMC episode the summer of 1970.    So I guess you could say that's the last time I saw a soap from near its beginning, from when AMC was six months old.

Re location filming the UK soaps and Neighbours have a street, square and cul de sac to use as a meeting place for characters whereas BTG doesn't seem to have that central gathering place.

So maybe we will see characters outside workplaces, an outdoor area of a restaurant or a terrace of a home etc. Depends how easily it can be accomplished. Hopefully it will be a regular thing.

It would also be nice if we saw more than one room of a house eg bedrooms, a den, dining room etc.

I really like this video breakdown of the show. I'm intrigued by Andre Hamilton. He inherits a double fortune apparently from the death of his parents. He's a sophisticated playboy who has people questioning his true intentions. What's that about? Also, the youngest Hamilton daughter lives in her own condo and is a social media influencer. This show seems to have loads of possibilities and I hope they take the fullest advantage of it all.

      GH: November 2025 Discussion Thread

      By carolineg · Posted

      I honestly don't care if Laura is friends with Sonny.  She's been friends with him for decades.  The way she goes about the friendship is stupid.   She has no sense of self-preservation or awareness about the optics of parading her friendship with Sonny around town.  She practically celebrates it.  There's no reason in the world she can't just keep the friendship low key and explain they share a grandchild and frame the relationship that way.  A lot of Laura's choices, like getting into a public fight with Dalton, just make her look silly and like a fairly incompetent mayor. Carly is another PC lady that's starting to look silly.  I know she's explained her plan a lot, but it's still stupid and moving at a glacial pace.  If Joss is 45 by the time her revenge plot unfolds, what's the point?  Just dump Brennen and move on please.

      On that same note, it's astounding to have mobster Sonny in the same office with Mayor Laura chatting it up about their mutual grandson. Think about the reaction if John Gotti and Mayor Eric Adams had a friendship

      ?? I guess the Logic behind Sonny & Jason acceptance is like when i saw a documentary where FBI agents said they'd rather deal with the mafia than terrorists or cartels---they're the "lesser of 3 evils". Anyway I'm about 30 years late on this convo.

      Im confused. Does Jessica know anything about June's relation to Tyrell? At the start of the episode, it seemed like June was gonna slip that he was her son but she caught herself but later in the episode she referred to him as "my boy" and Jessica had no reaction like that wasnt a surprise to her No, Anita was putting money in the account every 6 months but we werent told how much was in it when Leslie became a beneficiary. The show has set it up that it was multiplying based off the interest so that its really worth quite alot now. I dont buy it but thats what they've told us

      What was the point in Lori's return as Mrs. Max Hollister? That little story never made much sense to me.  Were there plans for a permanent return? Or even a new family with her as the matriarch?

      I guess it depends on your device.  I can watch CW shows via their website on my Windows PC.

      Welcome back, Shawn Douglas! It's been a while. It really is too bad that the writers don't really have an interest in the character because there are still a lot of ways that he can be used effectively on the canvas. He should have been a part of the 60th anniversary celebrations as well. If anything, just to represent Bo and Hope. And I'd much rather see Jada paired with him than possibly with Theo. But I enjoyed him getting caught up with Belle, and comforting her. I'm sure they'll find their way back to each other at some point but I do like them as divorced friends. I just hope we see it play out onscreen. Belle being a dick about Sami again was unnecessary though. And we finally saw Liam again!  I'm curious to see how this storyline is going to play out, and who's going to be weaved into it. He and Abe do work well together too. And we learned that he has a kid. Hopefully, we'll learn more about his character in the future. But I'm not really sure about Johnny and Chanel suddenly having problems with raising Trey. They've wanted a baby for so long, so I don't understand why this is even an issue. They should know by now what it's like to raise a baby. But I did enjoy Johnny's scenes with EJ, and that Johnny still hasn't refused to forgive him. This storyline was/is very clunky, but having the two of them be at odds is the right decision. There's so much story potential that can be drawn from that. As for Chad... there was no time for us to see his reunion with Will, but there's time for us to see him talking BS with Leo? I don't get it. And I don't get all this random dating app stuff either. Leo and Javi were boring af too. If we're forced to endure them, can they at least have some real conflict? The two of them losing the baby was the perfect opportunity for it.
