BTG: February 2025 Discussion Thread

No, no, no. That was not a complaint. lol. I really, really like the font. It's one of my quirky random things I like. I would just love it if it was bigger...if that makes sense. Not hating on it at all.

I did not care for her directing on Days. I was hoping for Owen Renfroe from YR.

My screengrab of MVJ's name as creator was while the show was playing (I didn't stop the feed).  I didn't quite grab the best view.    It's not large, but it does stand out.

BEAUTIFUL!

Interesting how they didn't put the date as the title of the episode as Y&R and B&B do. Instead, they used Episode #1.001, referencing season 1, episode 1 of at least 249 to go.

Maybe after this week, they'll follow the Y&R/B&B format? I can't fathom them keeping things this way while B&B/Y&R does another show.

First lines of named characters!

Calvin: "Good Morning Mrs. Dupree"

Vanessa: "Well so much for, 'Stop by for a cup of coffee.'"
Chelsea: "Hey mom, what's up?"
Ashley: "Derek! you didn't have to do this!"
Derek: "Sure I did. My lady is turning the page on a brand new-chapter. You need to meet it well-fortified."
Hayley: "I like all invited guests to be accommodated."
Caroline Lee: "Law Offices of Bill Hamilton, Esquire. How may I help you? I'll let him know, thank you."
Bill "What is with this schedule? You do realize I'm getting married at the end of the week?"
Martin: "Good to be seen!"
Vernon: "Martin!"
Bessie: "I am so sorry to interrupt..."

Andre: "Congratulations. Aunt Nicole told me you were starting today."

A couple of people have commented about "all the commercials" during BTG.

I just checked, and today's GATES clocks in at almost a minute LONGER that Y&R, which is close to drifting below the 36:00 mark.

Thanks! @janea4old& @Errol!

Ted Richardson, Nicole's husband, is a doctor. More action will happen in the hospital in the next couple of days.

I love the SON Community. Only we seem to give a damn about things like the first lines of soap characters.

This is what I live for! Y'all are amazing!

No worries. LOL

I forgot Kat, who had this chunk of exposition as her first line:

"We'll be changing it soon enough. In the meantime embrace what you do! People will be interested in our brand because you're Chelsea Hamilton, fashion icon and social media influencer. We'll be tapping into that a lot, so don't knock it."

[Liberty City]

Action? At a hospital?! Imagine that on a soap opera?!

[Errol]

Right. Y&R is about 34-35 minutes. BTG is 36-37 minutes.

TBF, Vanessa was all over the show. I think the random white couple is supposed to represent the "downstairs" for now that will inevitably be tied into the Duprée drama. Health care workers are always going to get dragged into soapy messes!
