This youtube channel "TheBertaris" is just a random site that posts whatever headlines they want about various soaps.  The same channel used to call itself "NBC - Voice of DOOL fans".

 My reaction to these fake-clickbait videos when I see one   - 

 

I'm curious as to what metrics will be used to determine if BTG is a success. We are obviously in a new era of television, one in which no soap opera has ever had to premiere and find an audience. How will BTG be measured? How much will live figures matter? Will streams matter?

OK. But this young woman is on the show, playing Nicole's personal assistant Eva, Leslie's daughter.

CBS aired a promo during the Grammys, the investment in promotion still shocks me

I saw TWO promos during the Grammys broadcast.

No new material, but one promo was recut to include both the "Welcome to Fairmont Crest! finger snap and "See you around the neighborhood!"

One of the reasons given for getting rid of The Talk is because of it's low streams. It's live ratings were also significantly behind the entire daytime lineup. Errol posted a ratings report from CBS Daytime a few weeks ago and from that I do recall the numbers they were touting included delayed viewing. I don't remember if it was Live+3 or Live+7, but I'd imagine they'll be looking at those numbers plus how well it does on Paramount Plus.

All I can tell you is that the finger snap and the neighborhood comment were the last two elements of the Grammys promo.
