BTG: February 2025 Discussion Thread

[Errol]

The logo in the show is blue, but that is the P&G Studios logo being used now. At first when I saw it on a smaller screen I was hoping it was a lighthouse in reference to Guiding Light, but nope, alas it is just a candle.

[Contessa Donatella]

No, it used to be PGP for Procter & Gamble Productions & then they segued to TeleVest. Anything with P&G Studio/s is automatically new. 

[BetterForgotten]

It’s a new graphic. A more colorized version of this graphic was flashed at the end of the episode. The candle could be a GL reference, but I can’t confirm that.

Remember the good old days!? Like you, life has changed so much for me, but I'm so glad that we got to share this moment in soap history together this afternoon. ♥ 

[Errol]

Personally, and this is me without having prior knowledge of anything, I don't think anyone dies. I have a theory on what happens, but ultimately we...

Very wise to include Tachina, Justin, and Shamar on this - all proud of their soap roots.

This thread has already surpassed the Y&R/B&B thread in the number of replies this month than Y&R/B&B combined.

We need to lure some more Y&R/B&B fans over here.

So glad got to experience this with all of you! The last soap debut I got to watch was Port Charles

It's been 20 minutes since the show finished airing on the East Coast and Beyond the Gates is still trending, holding strong at #2:

if this were another soap, Dani would be made to forgive Hayley, Hayley would still be BFF's with Dani's daughter and Dani would be blamed for everything

So refreshing to have something different!

[Liberty City]

I have a feeling they'll come on their own.

EXACTLY! It's giving SOAP with characters, not plot points to appease audiences.

[BetterForgotten]

They are multiple dimensions at play because Dani isn’t presented as totally sympathetic either. She’s a bad mother (regarding Chelsea) and is totally delusional about the state of her marriage before Haley entered the picture.

I'll be interested to see it play out. One of the reviews I read said, "You'll be dying to find out what happens on Monday." But, reviewers only got to see the first 5 episodes, so they clearly won't know for sure. I'm still trying to figure out who might even be the intended target and will be all week! I mean, one character, is obvious, but it could always be something out of the blue. 

I'll have my popcorn and my glass of champagne (classy) on Friday at 2pm to find out!

@Contessa Donatella Can't wait to see your reaction when you watch the first episode!!!!!!!

[Liberty City]

But that's also realistic: we've seen mothers project their own delusioned wishes regarding their youth onto their children, and their rose-coloured perceptions of their own marriage.
