It could all look different once post-production is final or if it’s run under some type of filter then. We’ll have to see when the show premieres.

In addition to hair and makeup, lighting is incredibly important on a show made up of actors of colour. A lot shows have long misunderstood that unfortunately.

I didn't assume anything incorrectly. You came in after some of us expressed our dislike of the lighting with the phrase "I will not b-tch about it". Which left the implication that maybe you are referring to what we are doing... as BITCHING about it. You may have not meant for it to sound that way, but it did. I don't like that word when I've only given my constructive criticism. There have been other people b-tching about the show for months and finding faults where there aren't any. This time, I saw something that I didn't like and I said it.  I'll continue to do so. I repeat - I love the trailer, I think we have the making of a great soap... and just because I WANT IT TO SUCCEED, I CARE about things like that. If I didn't care... I wouldn't mind. 

I hope so and I agree with this 100000 percent.

I wouldn't say I'm offended. Just correcting false impressions. But you are forgiven if you need my forgiveness.

I hope you don't bet much, because you'll lose. I KNOW what the lighting was. I've seen episodes from his era.

It was like the entire production (including actors) was dipped in Vaseline, and then pushed into sets lit like your nearest Costco warehouse. Way too many blondes running around in pastel colors for a while too.

Luckily, wardrobe, hair, and makeup seem to be on point for BTG.

Lookin' good!

And no, while the show is bright it is nowhere near Rauch's GL. My eyes bled back then.

Someone mentioned the PP soaps and I do think they had the lighting down. OLTL in particular had a lot of dark or shadow and atmospheric lighting or warmer/darker tones in furniture and sets, which was good for the renewed contrast between it and AMC. But I'm not seeing anything egregious here yet.

  Brilliance.

Although there were other uniforms for the women that I disliked MUCH more than the pastels.

And, yes, Reva, Cassie, Beth, Lizzie, Blake were all blondes but Olivia & Natalia were not. Oh, hell, Tammy & Doris & Daisy & okay, I concede. Too many blondes. Harley! Lucy. SURRENDER. 

Riiiight. Which is why I said I was on the right track because I VERY rarely bet. ....

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Chris B · Posted

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/
