My mother and father are no longer here. So I am asking everyone within the sound of my voice or sight of this page… Celebrate me home. Come back with me. Watch this show. I am so proud but grew up in a family where we were told that “bragging” is wrong. Forgive me, Mommy. Can’t hold this one back. Although I never fell for a boy from Baltimore, there were a few in Silver Spring, Shepherd Park, North Portal Estates… #iykyk #homecoming #cbsdaytime #audramcdonald #baltimore #beyondthegates #dcnative #shepherdparkdc #shepherdpark #motherlesschild #imnotatouristilivehere #washingtonian

As is often the case I was joking. I knew she didn't mean "bangers & mash". I asked Bing CoPilot to tell me about it: 

"Bangers and mash" is a classic British comfort food. It consists of sausages (the "bangers") served with mashed potatoes (the "mash"). The dish is typically accompanied by onion gravy and sometimes peas or other vegetables.

The name "bangers" comes from World War I, when sausages were made with such a high water content that they would often burst (or "bang") during cooking. It's a hearty and satisfying dish that's loved for its simplicity

Now that all the writers have been listed for BTG, we don't need to post the daily credits.  Just need to post whenever there is a new writer or director or producer is listed for the first/last time.

Just curious, why in the world do they keep misspelling Xavier as Xaviar? Wouldn't his union object? Credits are taken seriously.

Another thing, I finally saw that Michael dude who I saw listed with the writers in a non-SON blurb pre-launch. He only showed up on the very long Wed, closing credits among tons of other producers. Have you noticed that this show has more producers than I've ever seen? And I've been a credits watcher since way back when, even when credits were full screen.

Jamey Giddens just tweeted that he has completed his time at Sistas.
He's now writing *only* for BTG.

Welp. My work here is quite literally done. Tonight's episode marks the end of my time at @SistasOnBET. Immense thanks to Tyler Perry and Mark Swinton for the incredible opportunity and CONGRATULATIONS to the cast and crew on the Season 9 RENEWAL!! #SistasOnBET

He should be very proud of his work there. He left the show as the #1 cable program among Black viewers and I know the fans loved what he did with the show. I hope he carries that same positive energy to Beyond the Gates.

I just saw a video of Tyler expressing his annoyance with the creatives who took over some of his shows, the choices they made, and viewing numbers lost and was wondering if Jamey was one of the ones he was bitching about but maybe not if the show he tookover still maintained good ratings. TP is very aggy here

That is interesting! I don't know if he includes Sistas in that but I know he's always been resistant to having writers rooms, especially when they tried to unionize against him years ago. One of the biggest complaints people have with Tyler's writing is how slow it is and the lack of follow through so I imagine that might be a struggle for him when he see's others moving the story forward. I mean, The Have and Have Nots was a primetime series and I wanna say something like a weeks worth of time passed over 7 seasons. He has a very unique way of writing things.

      I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.

      I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".

      Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.

      I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable.

      I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.

      Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
