So I’m on last week, I’ve been zooming through to get caught up. Is Brady off the wagon now because of what Theresa did? Seems like an extreme reaction. 
 

The Devereauxs still trusting Kayla to handle anything medical for them is hilarious.

Body and Soul plus Connie running around town is way too much camp for one show. 
 

I’ve been enjoying Xander’s mom.

There’s something entertaining about Jack who himself has died and come back several times, now having to worry about his daughter who also has come back from the dead before. This show has made death so meaningless.

How does Leo not know who Hattie is?

Again, this feels like an episode making fun of us fans.  What if Phillip was born in 1995 and was a teen in 1999?  Lol.  Who would buy that?  Ugh....

The only "joke" I liked today was Leo reading Kim's book.  It obviously went too far, because of course, but it could have been a subtle nod to history.

I actually do like the idea of a lot of people in town working on the soap.  It can make for drama and connects people that aren't usually connected.

Honestly, the jokes are what make it so awful.  If they treated seriously it wouldn't be that bad.  Yes, it's ridiculous that half the town is going to be acting in this, but it really does bring characters together that don't usually interact at all.

I would prefer more people working at the paper, but Xander sold it back to Jack and I guess that's a wrap for it?  Lol.  Eric and Nicole are gone, Everett is dead, Xander gave it to Jack, and I am unclear if Leo and Stephanie still work there.  So that leaves Chad.  

It's weird how they built the Spectator up as the place people worked at and now have abandoned it for a soap.  I suspect this Body & Soul stuff won't last past Ron.

I appreciate this take because I agree that there is something intriguing about grouping a small cast into a singular workplace for interactions.  It provides some conflict for Johnny and Chanel that doesn't involve a baby.  And there is an opportunity to see characters share scenes that have rarely interacted in the past.  We have no idea what Titan and DI do, so this is a much more understandable setting, and it feels like a low-cost approach to establish new motives. 

But, it elevates the most obnoxious voices on social media.  RonC seems tortured by the responses to his writing, and it makes it feel as if he is chronically online like a teenager being bullied in high school.  There was pre-existing conjecture about his animosity toward fans, and these "jokes" do nothing to advance sympathy for his reaction.

I am not sad Bobby/Everett are gone, nor do I really care about the ending.  During the entire episode Jada/Stephanie were watching him die the show could have just wrapped it up.  Just finish the story.  It's so lazy to just kill him off without any conclusion.  That's more annoying to me than not knowing.

I really don't mind the premise.  Like you said, it's much easier to understand than what Dimera Enterprises does.  

I don't even mind a few jokes.  It's the entire story that feels like a mockery of the soap industry and the fans.  It's so strange Ron would even want to go there.  Does he hate his job?  Did he want to get fired?

I finally saw those episodes of Everett’s death last week. I couldn’t believe Jaida and Stephanie sat there being hysterical for an hour instead of ya know trying to save his life.

I like the twist of Xander’s mom hitting Sarah, but man is Sarah ever happy and healthy for more than 5 minutes before there’s another crisis.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Emphasis on the work...VANISH.

      Please register in order to view this content

          I've discussed this at length in the monthly threads on the main A stories as established by Week 1...which Martin's secret was one of them. Most soaps would have an A story one week with all the B/C plots just orbitting about. BTG did that well itself in the first two/three weeks. But like I mentioned before one of the A stories (Dani/Bill/Hayley) they can't keep going to that at the moment since it was already overkill by the end of Month 1. The other one...the Silk Press storyline...was really the only one that has been well-paced in my opinion with twists, turns, and builds...including subplots and near-misses. But that was not going to explode before May Sweeps. So that left Martin's secret...which as I said...started off well. I loved how it started with Martin having problems sleeping, but NO images. Then we got sounds. THEN we started to get images. And NOW those images are getting more established. But before we got all that, his storyline...which has been established to be a main one...vanished for a month and a half. While it worked for the storyline since Month 2 gave Martin (and Brandon Clayborn to grow) time to be more established...along with his family...the story of his secret could have also been a story that had a nice slow burn (which I love) to the show while having the other B/C plots orbitting it. Again, not mad at it since it allowed the audience to learn more about Martin and his family life. It also allowed for other B/C plots to grow on the audience. I also think the story development for that A story might have suffered from the writers still trying to find a rhythm that works for this show.   In any case, I also said that I felt they might go old school soap in May. And by old school I meant as an A story is climaxing, the writers take another story that will be the next one and start to build it up again, while also starting another plot as a C plot. And right now, we have the SilkPress storyline climaxing while Martin's nightmares (with images) have finally started to come back into play. I mentioned when I saw the promos of Martin vs Ted that hopefully the reveal would trigger Martin to the point that we FINALLY get to see what he did. So far...how Martin's been acting since the reveal, being so triggered, I still feel that is how we will see how things happened...allowing the next A story to finally take off.    Fingers crossed.

      You know what? After all the men she's been with dying, it's only appropriate that she try her hand with women. Only then will she discover how much of a curse she is when it comes to relationships. Of course, I don't think the show would go there, but if they do, I wonder how Carly would react to her daughter being with Robin's.

      If I'm not mistaken, much of this took place while Claire Labine was writing LOL -- and believe me, it was a very compelling show!  Probably the best soap on the air during Labine's short tenure as head-writer.  I assume Labine left LOL to create Ryan's Hope in 1975, but much of the action your describe seems to be her work.  Not sure why -- maybe some dates are off.

      Felicia and Rachel were suddenly represented as friends when Mitch came back to Bay City in 1986 in order to try to add tension to the storyline of Mitch and Felicia getting together. I suppose we are lucky that Margaret DePriest didn't eliminate Felicia as she did Quinn and Maisie for being outside the "core families" of McKinnon/Love/Cory.   Felicia was more antagonistic when she was first introduced. She brought Carl to town not knowing he was Donna's ex. She was carrying on an affair with Cass while he was sneaking around with Cecile behind her back and was livid with him when she found out. She was resentful when Cass signed Julia to Winthrop Publishing. She was friendly with Lily though IIRC.

      Just coming to comment about Joss and I see there is some conversation. I want to know what's with the subtle "moments" between Joss and Emma. I've been noticing it, but maybe I'm just overthinking it.

      In regards to Sam and Amanda... both of them were immature and crappy people.  She was a spoiled daddy's girl while he had a chip on his shoulder.  Both were stubborn and pigheaded... and I'm thankful I've resisted wearing the 2025 lens of assuming women are empowering and men are toxic.... when quite frankly both men and women could stand to be a little less toxic (in real life, of course).. not on my soaps where toxicity should be the norm.

      I'm copying and pasting the entire post because, while I enjoyed the watch, I agree with every single one of your points (as I posted above I thought the dialogue tried for clever sophistication without sounding realistic throughout, in fact.)

      I've just been over Josslyn since her corn costume on Halloween, putting her into a "leading lady" kind of position, simply because she is Carly's daughter, all while backburning other children is annoying AF.

      Hilarious that Steffy just barges into Brooke's house to see Hope without knocking. Ridge bought it, so I guess she feels she's entitled to.

      Joss is nowhere near the top of my list to keep currently.  I just wouldn't kill her off and consider bringing her back sometime down the line.  I guess it depends on how well the show is able to develop the next generation of talent with Rocco, Danny, Georgie, etc.
