Yeah, I definitely think it will be someone known to the audience. And duh at me not even thinking of Anna Maria. Janet would be fierce. 

Sean Freeman's real name is

Deric Kennedy.

I wonder why he changed it?

The trailer was good for soap fans like me, but bad for people who are not soap opera lovers.

It didn’t have a narrative or a plot to engage new viewers. It just offered some soap moments like slaps, romance, etc.

It looked more of a trailer of an on-going series than a new series.

I think I can love this show, but right now the publicity has been bad IMO.

Are you on drugs?

I've seen people who have never watched a soap a day in their lives say this trailer makes them want to watch

Same, especially those who've felt they've not been represented in the genre/medium.

When you look at the comments on any post about the show, the comments are universally positive with people showing their excitement for the show. Clearly, they're doing something right. 

Exactly! 

Same.

Honestly, these are fair comments.  The "Are you on drugs?" or "Are you okay?" comments were unjustified.  It's okay if people aren't 100% positive all the time.  There's nothing wrong with valid criticism.

The show's composer is Kurt Farquhar. His output is very diverse. I'm not familiar with any of the dramas he has worked on but I included a couple of his pieces below. I was hoping for more of a timeless Pino Donaggio-esque symphonic soundtrack, but I like the orchestral aspects the 96 Minutes score.

Thank you so much for this information. I'm going to check him out for sure.

Interview with Jibre Hordges (Jacob)

He mentions the vet actors have been helpful with the pace and technicalities of doing a soap and admits there was a struggle at first but the cast has found a groove. Also says the show does a great job mixing drama with strong representation of black affluence

Yeah I think trying to look at the show from a non regular soap viewing lens is making people project more negativity than they should.

@Alan I know a lot of the shows Kurt has worked on, he’s a legend tbh. My only wince would be on some of the dramatic stuff it felt like the soundtrack never stopped long enough to allow certain scenes to breathe (Saints & Sinners had this problem the worst). Hopefully we get more quiet moments on BTG with the score only added when its truly needed.

I mentioned Anna Maria Horsford ages ago. If not her then I think Janet Hubert would work. Or maybe a real wild card like Bern Nadette Stanis. Someone who is known by audiences from another show is ideal.

Those are all great options.

Agreed!

From what I can tell, it doesn't seem like Dani and Nicole have any rivalry. If anything, the way Nicole is talking to Hayley makes it seem like she's protective of her sister.
