Kevin Frazier’s voiceover was not fact checked. The P&G executive was talking about GL, and looks like the folks who put this show together couldn’t tell the difference between GL and ATWT.

Not surprised they fucked that up. 

This is beautiful; I will say, Jon Lindstrom's promience in this special is giving me contract and not recurring.

Lindstorm saying he's the minority on this soap made me chuckle. I totally get what he was trying to say, but I felt he could have worded it differently.

You cant tell "some" everything unfortunately... 

OK, so Fairmont Estates became Fairmont Crest.

Jon says he's a minority on the show and he likes it

Awww we're getting Easter eggs on the show, pictures hung up on set. The FC crest, the lantern is honor of Harriet Tubman, the donos, a West African drum 

 

The picture hanging over the fireplace is Paul Cheeks, he's George Cheeks father, the Paramount Global CEO

 

 

How cute that the Dupree family patriarch is based on George Cheeks’ grandfather, lol

I love they will be going to D.C. I would be great to see Ben's Chili Bowl or the subway. 

Loved that Michele Val Jean said that the diner’s name is an Easter Egg to pay tribute to her mom. 

Orphy Gene, in honor of MVJ mom who passed in 1983 awww

BTG gonna have a sexy gay couple 👀
