BTG: February 2025 Discussion Thread

The show is stunning! God I have tears in my eyes!

"He is unworthy of even 1 of your tears"!

[SFK]

Agreed. I'm sitting here waiting for some big juicy secret to drop the moment one of them leaves the apartment.

It's dreadful, especially the the boyfriend. There's an actor who appears in an episode this week with Vanessa (Lauren) and HE should have gotten the role as the boyfriend instead, IMO. He's hot, well built, cute, and can act (he has like 5 lines!)

It’s refreshing to see a show hold the men accountable (so far) for their cheating actions.

It's so nice to see an affirming family. I know this mess is coming though lol.

We got REAL Music y'all! I feel like I'm back watching soaps in the 90s lol 

[Soapsuds]

Beyond The Gates will continue. Wish they had the theme music playing in the background

[YRfan23]

Well I think he’s cheating on her, but yeah the actors are just kind of blah…

[Maxim]

I love the background music in this scene. God I am already in love. This is what we needed. This is a brand new beginning for all of us soap opera fans. Anita is just mesmerizing. I like both sisters and I think beyond that rivalry... there is deep love.

Vanessa gives me major Lucy Coe vibes, as much as Haley gives me major Brooke Logan vibes. Fitting, I guess, since GH and B&B were the soaps MVJ spent the most time on before this. 

[YRfan23]

I’m guessing there’s 7 acts in total?

I think it's time to stop worrying, let the cards fall where they may and enjoy the moment. This show won't stand or fall on illegal streaming, if anything it's CBS not being patient with it. 

[Maxim]

I was just thinking this! 

[All My Shadows]

So glad we got to see the Dupree women together and then Vernon and his grandson together before the whole group joined together for the first scene featuring the whole core four.

The two older women pushing past Ashley as she tries to have a "moment" stepping off the elevator was low-key hilarious.

I think the conversation about Dani revolving her whole world around being a wife and mother and giving up her modelling career gives so much more depth to the brewing conflict with Chelsea. It is also why her mother and sister, two women who didn't sacrifice their career for their men, would not be as able to see into Dani's vision. Dani only listening to her father would also make sense because it seems like she has defined herself by her man for so long that transitioning back to her father makes sense. The dynamic among the core four is very rich. 

I think Naomi / Jacob have a nice rapport.
