BTG: February 2025 Discussion Thread

I think she might have a drinking problem.

Her nosy self was giving me Amy Vining…lol

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!

Errol already told us the first day concludes on Thursday, with Friday being a new day.

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.

They made it a point to have Ted say he had a facial reconstruction consult in today's episode. I have to wonder if that's gonna to become a major plot point down the road with one our characters

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?

I personally feel like they are going to just give us great writing and hold off any of those until May Sweeps. But I could stand corrected. 

[Paul Raven]

Or have a whole day pass in an episode?

Show a weekend?

Or make clear that several days have passed b/w episodes?

 

[YRfan23]

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...

[YRfan23]

Was it said somewhere if Ashley and Derek have kids? I'm guessing not though they both look mid-30's already....

I found her more interesting today so like you said hopefully something's coming.

I just realized the only contract player we haven't seen yet is Alex Alegria who is Tomas Navarro. I assume we'll meet him soon. 

But two episodes in and I love BTG so much already.
