Perhaps we can start giving BTG more grace and respect by asking people in this thread not to call it "officially trash" before it even airs, and spamming it with videos that call Michele Val Jean, a legendary soap scribe with decades of great work, 'a bootlicker'.

But that's just my take.

It's going to have to be accepted at some point that people are going to say what they want to say. If BTG is destined to survive then it will, irregardless of any viewpoints that those may have. But we ain't seen nothin yet. Just wait until that first episode airs and then look for the plethora of online articles afterwards of those seeking to tear it down. This show has a PREDOMINANTLY black cast and there are those, perhaps many, who already despise it for that alone. So like Anita Dupree said "GET READY."

I'm not talking about anyone else. I'm not discussing hypothetical articles. I'm asking why you think the show is 'officially trash' and are cosigning the opinion of some toxic YouTube troll who you said was 'totally right' that Michele Val Jean is a bootlicking sellout. Was it before or after they didn't set the show in the location you wanted? Didn't cast the actors you wanted, or didn't use the fanfiction characters you invented in this thread based on the version of the show you invented in your head, in this thread?

You're right that people have a right to their opinions. But this is the first new American soap opera on network television in over 20 years, and arguably the bulk of this forum is excited about it, including a lot of people who have been here a good portion of those 20+ years. I think they have a right to that space, and to not be inundated with preemptive negativity and nastiness. I don't have any authority to tell you what to post, where to post or how to post, and I can't report you for it. But I am going to call you on what you're saying, and ask you to back it up. And if you can't, you might want to consider reconsidering til February 24th.

I've began accepting the fact that this beautiful project (now a reality) called "Beyond the Gates" will shine brightest and strongest... in moments when it's being surrounded by toxicity and trash. Even if God himself came and head-wrote the show... some particular people would find extreme faults or something to hate or ridicule. And I'm not talking about the normal constructive criticism or dislike of certain aspects (that is welcome and should not be repelled), but pre-directed, pre-planned, derogatory, passive-aggressive, all-kinds-of-phobic agenda that we've all seen and reacted to in this topic. Agenda whose main focus is to create a toxic atmosphere and distort the reality. To change the fact that... till now... the reaction to the show has been amazingly positive. 

And just like a stunning rose in midst of hideous weeds... becomes even more beautiful when she is being surrounded by ugliness... this obvious, transparent and quite laughable agenda will be just that... a boring weed you have to look at... sometimes... because it stands next to the rose.

I will keep it cute and simple (and to soap specifics), and say I agree. It's overdue that soaps get the recognition as a genre (overall) that they deserve.

It's funny how some troll on YouTube called MVJ a "bootlicker" and a sellout when YT is nothing BUT bootlickers and sellouts, lol.

That's exactly what it is. That low level troll is mad he isn't making it and it especially burns him up to see a Black woman have her ideas brought to screen. YouTube is full of Black woman hating Black men.

      Yeah. I wasn't feeling it either. If it was meant to be a chem test, it didn't work. I don't think so. Because I think Neil and Liz moved into that house after Stefano "died", and Neil lived there until he went to go see his patients and never came back

      I was really starting to enjoy it, but after Anspach, Shelton and Keane left, it got a bit blah to watch. Jane Russell was great as Rose, Buddy Ebsen as Toat was interesting as well.  If a second season were in the cards, I would have signed  Karen Carlson on to a contract and cast a couple more women as regulars. The cowboy aspect could continue. Sam Elliott, as always, was fantastic,  The camaraderie between Roy and Quisto was really good as well. Cybill... she was sex on a stick and unapologetic.   Poor Robin Wright barely lasted five minutes, though, before being raped and murdered.

      I love it that we've gone from daylight to dark -- Luna's even returned to work -- but Steffy is still sitting next to shirtless Finn on the sofa.

      Is the current DiMera mansion the same mansion Stefano moved into around 1983?  I remember that house was out near a lake, and not far from Doug Williams' night club.  In fact, there was a tunnel connecting Doug's Place to the DiMera mansion.  If it supposed to be the same house, I'm fairly sure it is not the same set.  But I'm aware sometimes soap opera sets change without any explanation

      Amazing work @slick jones I remember watching and enjoying Yellow Rose but losing interest once they went to self contained episodes, Interestingly that's the opposite of what Dallas, KL and FC did. So maybe YR should have been more episodic at first and then go to a fully fledged serial. But really the timeslot was the problem -Sat @10 was not the spot for a serial. And Rounders turned out to be a poor lead in. Maybe 9-11 Tues following A Team would have helped.

      Doug Marland came on board shortly before Gloria Monty, I believe. Jackie Smith was in charge of ABC daytime at that point. All of the characters in place were not his creations. Alan was created by Irving and Tex Ellman who wrote the hurricane story a few months before and brought in Alan, Scotty, David Hamilton, Dorrie and Lisa/Lana. His first character was  Bobbie in Jan 78. Apart from wrapping up the Lan/Lisa story he pretty much kept all the stories going just adding new elements.

      She is 29... she's inching closer, and we know how important age is on soaps.
