I know nothing but with them finally acknowledging that Carter never has family around, I wouldn't be surprised if the reason he's there is because B&B scooped him up. I'm sure especially in light of BTG they must be embarrassed to only have one Black cast member. It would be a typical last minute Brad Bell idea.

I always thought they should be a laughing stock given their industry, fashion, couture & the LA setting that they never had a strong gay presence.

Can I say something about the theme? I’m literally obsessed with it. Like I want to play it on repeat. Like I’m this close to coming up with a dance routine for it and sharing said dance on TikTok. (Note - I can’t dance)

I'd hate B&B wasting a good actor like that. Its also crazy for as long as Carter as been on the show outside of being Macus's adopted brother we know nothing about his past or family life. They don't even care to bring Marcus back as family for him.

Yeah, I thought the theme was so-so at first but it has grown on me considerably. And I really love those James Bond/Jazz Age horns.

The opening itself I'm just fine with.

Opening is fine, I'd just like a bit more "oomph" to theme. But maybe they felt like that would evoke too many comparisons to those 80s prime time soaps and being dated. At least it's not a complete buzz killer like the Generations theme as previously mentioned, lol. 

May GOD Hear You, i love the idea of a new soap but don't know if my myopic azz can take a super bright show 5 times a week

I'm not sure if it was how the episode was screened at the Paley Center, but the lighting was not super bright in the first episode I saw. There may have been some filtering/processing that happened in post-production that made the lighting more flattering than what we saw in the promos/previews.
