Do we think Martin is responsible for the death of the guy (Alan?) Leslie is grieving?

Dani is textbook borderline- impulse, unstable, with severe abandonment issues.

I think she will seduce Bill away from Hayley just to prove a point

They give me JR and Sue Ellen, down to the cheating. Sue Ellen was fine if he was discreet and she could keep up the facade of a happy marriage but once you start being messy, that's when the problems come in. I actually think this is something that a lot of people can relate to and was a really smart storyline to play.

I suspect that at some point...like the best soaps...her disconnected part of the plot will converge with the Duprees. It's been a minute since current soaps have done that well so I hope it's true so MVJ can show off. I agree she and Andre have a spark, and I'm definitely intrigued by their history. Is she the one that got away, or is Andre just a constant flirt? In any case, I don't mind seeing a girl/guy friendship that is just that. A friendship. So far...she's the good girl and he looks like a bad boy. That can be a great friendship. Think Lucas (not that he was bad, but still got in trouble)/Haley on OTH. 

 

I don't know about the casting, but I do like that all the minor characters that would normally be played as tokens by black actors/actresses are being played by others. It's meta, but like a nice subversion of the trope. And Lauren so far is the standout for sure.

I can see that. It's making me think of the Brandy single of the same name.

Hmmmm I could see that. But I could also see the theory mentioned before that what if Andre's dad was Ted's twin. 

 

Definitely interested.

As for casting I do think they're a lot of newbies and green actors on the show... I do. mean you have to cut your teeth in the business somewhere. However, I do think that they're some seasoned daytime actors who are recurring on current shows that could bring a lot to the table if featured regularly on BTG.  I am excited for Cady McClain and Jon Lindstrom and hope they explore their characters more on the show.  

I do think in terms of casting, bringing in some other big daytime names would help as well.  I do think that Victoria Rowell, Alicia Minshew,  Tonya Pinkins, Valerie Pitiford, Timothy Stickney would fit in well in this show.  What do you all think??  

 

Ohh a Twin would be very interesting.  Perhaps Leslie could project the love for Andre's dad on to Ted, turning it into a Fatal Attraction type storyline?

    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.
