Dani isn't on my list but then again I've always loved Karla Mosley, even as Christina on GL. Nurse Ashley is one of them though. I'm curious how her character will fit into the show overall. The other two I'm worried about are male characters but again, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and see how they fit in the show before making judgements.

Ashley and Derek were by far the most painfully boring and uncharismatic part of the first episode to me. They kind of come off that way in the bits we’ve seen in the trailer now that I think about it too…

Dani is a character that will be highly divisive. That’s all I’ll say.

Maybe CBS thought of this already but it would be smart to air reruns on BET and make this show avalible on BET+. Can't wait for Monday!

Regarding the intro

It's not terrible, the theme is okay. It just needs something more grand, catchy and classic like Y&R or DAYS had. This has a generic power point presentation underscore feel to it.

It's amazing as time went on, and technology advanced, soap intros looked more amateurish such as GH's openings since 2010, and Y&R's 50th anniversary open.

ATWT's 2007 theme was really good but the visuals sucked!

^ re: above IG post from Karla Mosely:

The NAACP Image Awards are broadcast tonight Saturday Feb. 22.
Obviously there will be a promo for BTG, since NAACP is coproducing BTG.

Last night Friday Feb. 21, was the first ceremony called the 
"NAACP Image Awards Creative Honors".

A lot of the awards were given out then, including in key categories.

Maybe it's like the Emmys and Grammys having the key night televised with entertainers/headliners,
but the day before also has important awards, sometimes on social media platforms.

Clifton Davis and Karla Mosely were presenters last night for the Creative Honors.
Brandon Claybon (character Martin Richardson) was also there.

I still find the P&G connection to be odd. Seeing them celebrate their success in developing soaps is so odd when you consider they do nothing with their back catalog. Even when they tried to do a streaming service with Walmart, they never used their soaps. 

I'd love if the success of BTG inspired them to revisit what they tried to do with their AOL streaming channel and brought it back. Of course now they could also add ATWT and GL since they're cancelled. Previously I thought this was a fantasy but it could actually happen the way things are going.

One example is the series' fictional version of HBCU (historically Black colleges and universities) Howard University called Banneker University. The name is a nod to mathematician, astronomer and author Benjamin Banneker and his contributions to Washington, D.C.

Tamara's hint of ATWT alumni appearing on the show gave me chills.

When I first heard the news of Tamara, I thought of Scott Bryce, one of her best friends, making an appearance or having a role on the show. I actually thought the role given to Jon Lindstrom would have been great for Scott.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with. 
    • How did this come to be?
