So many interesting comments from everyone.

The hospital scene with Mom and the two women showing up was awkward, especially the 'I've only known you for a few months, but you're fulfilling your destiny spiel' from the daughter. I still don't know their names or how they are connected to the nurse. Are the two older women friends?

Day 1- Dani punches someone out

Day 2 Dani destroys the desk

Day 3 ??? She bulldozes Bill and Hayley's new home???

I don't want to see DID,a murder, or any of those soap cliches so soon. Let the characters provide the drama, not an evil twin etc

I though Nicole's house looked a little sterile, although maybe that was intentional to reflect her more reserved personality. Some pattern, texture and color please.

I wonder how long this day will go for? I want to see Tamara out of that silver space suit!

Dani with DID? I wonder if Dr. Ted has DID? I already get the vibe that Leslie's look towards him means they SMASHED at some point in the past (producing Eva by the way). But if that's true, he came off of that elevator and walked right past Leslie not noticing her. I don't know.

Thanks for posting this.  Some people just need time to adjust to how daytime shoots.  I'm sure she'll improve. 

Add the Dupree house and Martin/Smitty's apartment to the list of sets I like. 

The way the show sounds, reminds me of British soaps - the quietness of the scenes.

That's pretty good for a first week of a new soap! Y&R's entire first week was one day I believe, and Passions started day #2 the second half of episode #5

I wonder if BTG will ever do that rarity where they end an evening and begin a new Day within the same episode? From what I've seen I think that might have been more common on classic AMC/OLTL

mmm...not sure about the whole day passing in an episode...seems too similar to what Mal Young tried to do when he was EP over at Y&R...haha

Showing a weekend would be different on a soap

I think we might be more interested in Ashley if there was some hospital drama depicted rather than her just chatting at the Nurses station (with the empty shelf)

There was all this talk of her beginning this long anticipated career so some encounters with difficult patients or maybe disappointment that she was assigned admin stuff?

Again maybe something is coming...

    • 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 A few hours before her death was announced, her husband posted onto her facebook this: https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid02hxSLCXSKM62DHE72RFXeY8s8M4PXeAcDJGkhfnTLKVNVpZqSYmAREpr7W7RgDhUzl This is Ruth Buzzi‘s husband writing on her page.  She asked me to thank all of you for being so good to her for so many years.  She wants you to know she probably had more fun doing those shows than you had watching them.    Because of health issues, she’s must withdraw from writing, but she will still be reading and enjoying your posts.   If you've met Ruthie and had a picture taken with her, please post it below.   If you have a great memory from her career that you enjoyed — a special comedy sketch, or a moment that made you laugh — share that with us. Ruthie loves you. --------------
    • 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
