I'm starting to think Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa) might be a scene stealer.

She’s primarily a comedic character (at least in the first episode). Think shades of Lucy Coe.

Not surprised. That's why I'm getting the vibe I am.

That was classy of B&B.

I admit that I am curious about what synergy they are going to do with all 3 shows so that's a good start. Outside of the tv spots.

I think crossovers are inevitable. And will be good for the show.

Trash show, but MVJ’s friends at B&B supporting her nonetheless:

 

I'm glad you posted. I was confused, and didn't understand what you were posting about.  I had watched the "next week" clip but couldn't hear all the words they were saying so I had paid little attention. But then I read the words of MVJ's tweet, so, curious, I sat down and I watched the end of the B&B episode on paramountplus with closed captioning.
Dialogue referring to gates and going beyond them! Ha!  Cool.

I don’t think this was posted in this thread yet. A clip from Access Hollywood where they went on-set and conducted interviews with the Dupree core 4.

(I posted it back on page 348, but can't hurt to post it again.  The more publicity the better!)

I love that there's so much publicity so often, that it's hard to track what's already been posted on this thread.  So amazing.  Hard to keep up!

This is a great one - the flagship CBS owned and operate affiliate in NYC (WCBS) did this interview with Tamara Tunie and Daphnée Duplaix. 

What's interesting is that WCBS is Headquartered out of the CBS Broadcast Center where ATWT was produced out of for years (until it moved to the former AW studios in Jan 2000 where it spent the rest of its time). Tamara makes nods to this being her old stomping ground and acknowledges the wall art which has a pic of Nancy Hughes (Helen Wagner).

I wonder who Tamara Tunie was referring to re: ATWT alumni, assuming that wasn't just a bit. Or she could've just been referring to Cady and Jon.

I'm getting good vibes about Lauren Buglioli as well! I'm also interested in Ambyr Michelle and Trisha Mann-Grant who seem like two schemers that are going to give me such joy. 

I'm not gonna lie, I've also identified some people I'm concerned about but I'm not going to say anything until I see them on the show.

Jibre Hordges (Jacob Hawthorne) appeared on a local Atlanta show to promote BTG:

I just found this, but saw it was already posted here.
What's new is that the full  transcript of this interview was posted on the website
of WJBF Channel 6 in Augusta, Georgia.    Fascinating to hear/read Jibre's story.

From the Atlanta screening Wed. Feb. 16.
Cast and guests at the screening, all wearing white.
Reposting these clips with something to ponder.. 
Wondering about why they were cheering at the end of the second clip.


The first clip shows the audience of cast & guests reacting to *that* scene, as the caption says.
(sound up)  

 

---

The second clip shows the audience standing and cheering at the end, so either something very cool just happened, or perhaps they're cheering at the end of the episode to applaud its entirety.

I'm concerned about Andre, the nurse Ashley, and Dani. Especially Dani. Some naughty theories about her posted elsewhere. I'd completely buy it if it came to fruition but hoping it doesn't. Lawd!
