BTG: February 2025 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Didn't make it to them before tapping out but the ages on this show are a mess. Why not just make the junior politico Tamara Tunie & Deacon from Amen's son instead of grandson if they wanted him to be the father of teenagers. Also, if the producers really like the Hayley actress, why not just re-write it to make her a friend of the wife instead of a friend of her daughter? 

I get that ages on soaps get wonky after a while because of aging up kids for storyline reasons, but why start it so messy? It makes it confusing for people trying to learn who the 20+ new characters are. Even Sunset Beach & Passions got this right at their launch.

Yeah… there are a lot of people on BTG that look way too young to have grown children and grandchildren.

I’ll roll with it… even though it’s quite obvious

Plus, it’s not the first time a soap has done that. Hell, Days cast Ric Hearst to play Julie’s grandson and he’s only 22 years younger than Susan Seaforth Hayes

Looking forward to getting home and watching!

Thoroughly enjoyed episode two.

Nicole and her husband had INSTANT chemistry. The most chemistry on the show thus far.

Loved that we got introduced to even more sets today. And I will echo everyone that the hospital set looked much better today. Ooo the look the scheming mom gave to Nicole’s husband before that elevator closed gave me life, and I need to know more ASAP!

I don’t see any chemistry between Martin and his husband. I’ve also never been impressed with Mike Manning as an actor on anything I’ve seen him on so there’s that.

Dani’s ex truly is a piece of work and I’m going to thoroughly enjoy getting to know him more. That was definitely a vieled threat to the Dupree patriarch if he doesn’t get that wedding filled out with guests.

Today's show was a solid episode. Loads of potential for story directions.

Right now, Nicole is my favorite character. She reminds me so much of Brooke English. Ted seems so devoted to her. I am shipping them. 

I like Bill and Hayley together. Maybe it's good writing, but they don't feel like true bad guys to me. I see the shade of Roger Thorpe!

I probably would have changed some of the family tree. Andre should have been Anita’s nephew. And, I wish there was a third sister. Maybe one who wasn't married and enjoys traveling the world and spending the family money LOL.

Also, I wish they had a black sheep who was removed from the family.

 

Facts! I am intrigued by Leslie and Eva, and Vanessa.

I don't think I've been this way about a soap in a good minute. Or at least that non-wedding of Peter August on GH. lol.

 

I was stepping out of work and someone might have needed something and I sooo side-eyed. 

 

And then several streets were blocked by the police and fire department. I hoped everything is okay, but I did eyerolled. I haven't been so aimed on a soap in a good minute. 

 

Coming on soon...

Ooooo I take that as good praise coming from you.

You are giving me life since she is my favorite.

 

I feel that. Outside of the Damian storyline on Y&R...I have no immediate desire to watch the other soaps this week...lol. Now re-watching the Gates on the other hand...

    • the tweet linked to https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2025/05/02/ruth-buzzi-dies-the-rowan--martin-laugh-in-star-was-88/ That Forbes account of Ruth Buzzi said she'd had Alzheimer's for 10 years? -- they are quoting her facebook as saying that. But her facebook says this: Ruth Buzzi  July 24, 1936 – May 1, 2025 Ruth Buzzi died peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas. She was in hospice care for several years with Alzheimer’s disease. Memorial arrangements by Lacy Funeral Home, Stephenville, Texas to be announced. Her family requests donating to Alzheimer’s research (www.alz.org) in lieu of flowers. https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl  But she was tweeting a couple of years ago...  There's more info on @slick jones page here https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/55788-soap-hoppers-the-soap-actors-and-roles-thread/page/380/#comment-1869080 Perhaps her loved ones were assisting her with social media?
    • Link to the official announcement on her Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/100052018909496/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl/?app=fbl
    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
