I can't believe a new show starts on Monday with the sneak preview episodes. Monday is a holiday, so it will be interesting to see what kind of viewership the show will bring.

I guess they picked the Ridge/Taylor clip to maybe attract AMC Zach/Greenlee fans?  Because otherwise, why pick that scene?

HA! It won't work on me LOL!

In the IG stories, I think the host Ashley Britney Silva announced that the attendees would be getting gift bags, and inside each bag is a key, and the keys unlock the Gates!

Oh I see, re: the host of the Feb. 13 screening in DC -- Ashley Brittney Silva... 
I didn't know who she was until it was mentioned on that WUSA9-tv youtube -- Ashley is from the reality show "Love & Marriage: DC"

I am too excited right now.

I feel like BTG is tarnished being associated with Y&R/B&B the way they are now.

I think BTG is mostly going to struggle from a new soap being introduced in 2025 and likely being seen as "DEI" by bigots at a time when they run every part of our media and government. It's a shame they can't provide better lead-ins in terms of ratings but ideally, they can still scrape through.

To be fair, in terms of lead in's, the Bell soaps are both doing well. Not only in live viewers, but in Live+3. I know they're quality is lacking but we can't deny that people are tuning in. They remain towards the top when it comes to daytime offerings. I'm sure they're also doing well on Paramount Plus if CBS found it worthwhile to try and launch a new soap.

I keep hearing people talk about how poor B&B's ratings are. I'm glad if that's still enough to help BTG.

This shows existence alone is a gift I never thought I’d see. I’m not wasting time being paranoid about things out of my control.

I've been sick all week with the flu (Totally Sucks btw) and I have been anxiously awaiting the news Errol mentioned earlier in the week. Being home all week has been beyond boring and awful but when I've been up to it, I've been all over this thread looking for any morsel of additional news about BTG. I'm really looking forward to Monday too.

Maybe we'll get the news over the weekend??? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
