I watched part of the first season of that show and loved the cast, including Merle Dandridge (now probably best known for her role in both the game and show of The Last of Us). I should get back to it.

I'm half-way through the first season and it's quite solid.

Off topic, but what's up with these new pop-up adds that cover the posts and have no delete X in the corner?  They eventually disappear, but only to be immediately replaced by another pop-up.  Makes it impossible to read an entire post.  Plus, the reply button disappears from the bottom of the page, when these pop-ups are active.  Anyone else noticed these?  They don't always appear, but much of the time they do.   Very annoying.  

Have you tried going to the Support Desk? If not, that should be your first place to post this comment.

I can wait to see the character career set up. Black folks living behind the gates nowadays could get you a doctor, a preacher, musician, a social media influencer, a straight up scammer etc. They definitely should have a family who live right outside of the gates too trying to infiltrate.

 

Also, we don’t need to see religion play out extensively onscreen but I wouldn’t mind seeing family members enter the house after church, dressed in Sunday best getting ready for an elaborately prepared Sunday dinner. Who is invited, who is not, the “the Upstairs/Downstairs aspect with the machinations and conversations going on between the cook and housekeeping staff, could be an interesting view not portrayed in an American daytime soap opera before. It doesn’t need to be a regular thing but maybe an episode around Easter time etc.

That secondary middle class black family is what I'm hoping for. The one whom Demarco OR Demetrius is part of. Better yet, let's have them both, as brothers.

They're twins.  Demarco is a doctor, and Demetrius is a bouncer.  And Deniece, their kid sister, is following in their dad, Desmond's, footsteps by going to law school.

Somebody needs to be doing Onlyfans (or the show equivalent of) to deliberately make their family upset. There has to be that one character that rebels just to do it.

And, preferably, not the LGBTQ+ character.

I like this. Their mom Delilah would make it complete.

Not that they'd ever let the show get this complex, but, I've always thought B&B had the potential to explore the Upstairs/Downstairs aspect with Forrester Creations. You'd have all the execs and creatives "upstairs" and all the lower-income, not so glamourous underlings in the basement where Thorne once worked. Of course, there would be the classic character trying to claw their way up. Sigh. But, instead we just get constant conversations about mints, toes, and dialogue that goes in circles and has an amount of depth that even my betta fish could follow the show.

😂 at how y'all have mapped this soap out for Michelle Val Jean in its entirety. 

Demarco/Demetrius. Lol.  Seriously, I'm having so much fun envisioning this show.

I envisioned it being a straight man.

IKR, lol?

Michele Val Jean: "Don't worry, y'all, I got this!"

Before we start working on the intro... I want a black Jill Foster type.
