1. No real lore, just that CBS abandoned "CBS Daytime" in their promos years ago when they consolidated the division into CBS Entertainment. They even abandoned the YouTube and social media channels on X/Twitter and Instagram. It's just been a long time since we've heard "CBS Daytime."

2. That's Tamara Tunie.

Let's all keep in mind that the 30 second promo is primarily based on clips from the first episode of the series. Not much can be revealed this early, and the outdoor shots aren't expected to go beyond the first week or so as they did outdoor scenic shots in the first couple of days following the table read.

The only clips shown outside of S1E1 were what is presumed clips of the cast as shown in the opening sequence.

That promo looks amazing and it looks like from a production standpoint, Atlanta was a smart choice. Compared to how Y&R and B&B look these days, it's nice to see a soap with such expansive sets. 

I hope they're able to weave location shooting in throughout and not just at the beginning. Happy they're starting to promote it.

What do the people who are disappointed... expected to see in this promo?! It literally is couple of shots and just hints and teases and atmosphere, vibe. Nothing more. I'm quite perplexed how these 20 seconds can create such a feeling of it being a "parody" or "trashy". 

Did we all watch the same 20-30 seconds... ? 

This is not enough to make such statements in my opinion. I'm not saying you HAVE TO LIKE IT... but saying that it looks like a soap parody... is a stretch.

Not going to judge from that teaser.

Looks like the opening will feature the cast in the 'turn and gaze into camera' trope.

Guess there's a belief that helps viewers get into the characters but I also like an opening w/o the actors a la Days.

Not sure about Tamara with long locks. And the silver hair with matching suit?

I'm sorry, but weren't you the person that wanted the show to look like "Fashion House"...

some long forgotten primetime soap... which... from what I remember was incredibly trashy and cheap looking. Thank God... from these 20 seconds... BTG looks NOTHING like it. THANK GOD.  So... you liked the style of "Fashion House" on one hand, but just from this 20 second promo... you think BTG almost looks like a parody?

I mean... we are 20 seconds in... and already... some people are spewing words like "trashy" and "parody". 

Jesus Christ Almighty.

People should be allowed to have negative opinions guys. 

I was thrilled to watch the promo. Soap scenes always look  a certain way when watched out of context. Can't wait to watch the first episode. I think I am going to love the intro and the production values look really good. 

I can't say enough how happy I am for MVJ. Lets hope that the other soaps will wake up from their coma. GH is the only one still trying.

PS: The "opening" (?) reminds me of ATWT's 2007 intro.

    • Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?
    • Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.
    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
