this is the regular P&G logo for everything.
It's all over their website pg.com

The part that's new is the word "studios" added onto that, with the candle "i".

I watched on PPlus, so no commercials, but I thought this was interesting to read
(from the founder and former owner of soapcentral)

I assumed it would be mostly P&G products advertised, but were there other things?

Oh cool, they said “Beyond the Gates will continue” on the live CBS TV broadcast?  Of course that didn't happen on ParamountPlus due to lack of commercials.

Y&R has "mid-show bumpers" (pics of the cast) and those appear on the ParamountPlus feed.

I wonder if BTG would do that?   
Actually I prefer it plain, because when streaming without commercials, the story just flows.

I haven't been this excited about a show for a long time. Especially since I can't stomach the other soaps anymore. 

 

My favorite things: That behind the scenes and the network actually care about a soap opera again. Most of the sets look great. We had a real song to start. It will be more character driven than plot driven at least for now (even tho i don't mind plot driven if its good.) 

The dynamics are already interesting with Anita/Nicole/Dani but also that Dani is a daddy's girl with Vernon. Also love the dynamics that Naomi will bring with her father cheating with her best friend and all. 

In fact, Naomi/Arielle Prepetit was surprisingly my favorite of the episode. Especially of the actors I don't know. I thought she was good being funny, sexy, serious and shady all in the first episode. Plus as much I watch soaps for drama and villains I also need a good couple with chemistry and Naomi and Jacob have that.

In reply to earlier posts about the P&G regular logo and the new P&G Studios logo with the candle . . .  I looked up the clues the other posters mentioned, and found this

More about Procter the candlemaker and Gamble the soapmaker:

Interesting history of the P&G logo
https://www.businessinsider.com/pg-puts-moon-in-new-logo-despite-satanist-accusations-2013-5  
From just a star, then moon and 13 stars. And then just initials and why.
And finally since 2013, the current logo with a simple circle with a crescent moon and the P&G initials.

Watched the premiere and it was a very good start. Clearly, there are people behind the scenes who care about this show and want it to succeed. The exposition about who the Dupree family is worked well and I think we know their dynamic. I really liked the scene between grandfather and grandson in the diner. Starting a show with Best Of My Love playing sets a great tone.

Daphnee Duplaix is my favourite so far. Natural and restrained.

Karla Mosley is overacting. She did this on B&B as well.

Loved how the show had extras (including Real Housewife of Potomac's Karen Huger!)

The sets are definitely over lit and the lighting is too bright which detracts from the otherwise very nice, expansive, sets, and the hair, makeup, and costumes that all looked good. Any white in a set, prop, or costume was ultra bright. Hopefully they will work out that issue.

I rewatched the first episode that was available to stream at cbs.com...some thoughts:

1) Smart to introduce all the Duprees and show the bond/family loyalty before we get introduced to 'the Nemesis'. 

2) Vernon has a bond with Dani (Anita seemed a bit jealous) while Anita has the bond with Nicole.

3) Dani's daughters seem to take after Aunt Nicole while Nicole's daughter seems more like Dani.  I sense some friction between Dani/Chelsea (stage mom, living through her daughter).

4) I'm almost sorry we didn't see what led to Hayley betraying her best friend Naomi and Dani.  A few people I know got Brooke Logan vibes from Hayley...too soon to tell if I agree with that or not.

5) Vanessa was the perfect gossip and bringing the mess.  Apparently she has a story herself so we shall see what that entails.

6) Andre is a player and I have a feeling our new nurse will fall for his charms.

    • I thought today was still good. Leo is always awful, but the characters treating him like he's a plague feeds my soul. Rafe in particular had been very passive about him, but today was wonderful seeing him put Leo on notice. I really think it's being written that Javi is going to have to eventually take the blinders off and see Leo for who he really is. Them having sex on Gabi's desk made me want to explode. Roman taking in stray Doug was nice to see. And the mention of Frankie and Max was unexpected, but good to know they're at least being thought of. Tate being petty and a bit vindictive by going back to Sophia's as soon as he saw Doug with Holly was entertaining for me. I think I actually like Tate the most out of all of them because he's so damn messy.  Is Holly about to be kidnapped? Her first time? Also, Gabi finally revealing what happened with her the night EJ was shot and the clearing of all the other main suspects, but Johnny made this still feel like an important episode. I think Johnny will be cleared soon enough leaving everybody at a loss for the hell shot EJ. How the real shooter will be revealed is going to be interesting.  Speculation: When Kristen finally puts together that her daughter Rachel shot him, she'll agree to frame her mother for the crime, while keeping her hidden away from Salem.
    • That would have saved the Anita singing segment -- having her by herself, singing quietly and reflectively. Belting it out like she was in church did not work. The black screens fade at the end was a mistake. BTG insists on being different with these fades for the sake of being different, and it's not working.   I thought all of that was just fine. Worked for me.   I'm going to disagree with this. Martin hasn't had many scenes with his parents, but he's been around family A LOT -- and that's what matters. We also know Martin is someone with a hair trigger response. He can be very emotional when discussing an issue before getting to the logic and reason of it all.  
    • My view of Evan is that he's smart but not as smart as he thinks he is, not a good guy but not an entirely bad guy - he's a lot of things, the show never quite knowing what to do with them. I never saw him as Iris' follower because Iris always seemed a bit in over her head from the start. 
    • She was the Town Historian, who knew a bit too much about Brandon and the infamous cottage.  SF was still a pretty normal place at that time, with Nola and Reva being the most outrageous citizens....seems that Carrie Pipper would have stood out a bit more for people.

    • Yes, I need to dot hat. Also on my list talking to the person I got these files from since they clearly have a mess, in terms of dates being wrong. And, unfortunately finding one date wrong, automatically means more are wrong, too. 
    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83.
