BTG: February 2025 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I do not dislike any of the actors.  Some are very green but I am willing to give them 3 - 6 months to develop.  I am enjoying the show so much I am able to focus on what is working and not get distracted by minor issues.

  • Seeing Dani, Nicole, and Vanessa having breakfast at the Country Club was nice.
  • Dani vs. Hayley is going to be a constant ongoing theme, and it's not going to matter when, where, why, or how! It's going to happen!
  • Naomi vs. Bill is something that I feel like is going to be juicy. Headstrong daughter vs. headstrong father. Classic.
  • I love the iPhone template; it's so much better than post-production on phone edits, or split screens, etc. A nice unique touch they have.
  • The new iPhones? So good!
  • Those Ebony magazine covers? And the mention of runway models?! So, so good.
  • "You are the oldest, most disgusting cliché in the book!" Oh, what a powerpunch of a line. And from his daughter? wow. The juice. The DRAMA, MAMA! This is GOOD!
  • The hospital room felt very real; I feel like I've been in several like this one.
  • Dani is a super stage mom, and it shows. The amount of personalities she has is endless.
  • knew Dana would offer Eva to replace Laura... and that's her IN! I called it.
  • Andre has that smooth-talking playboy appeal to him.
  • Ooh, Dani has her plaything in André. Loving this.
  • That male worker with Bill & Tom (welcome!) is a creeper. Is this "Mike" from the casting breakdowns?! Because it's giving that.
  • Not the tap of the glass with a knife. I'd break the thing.
  • Red and blue are Dani's colours; she wears them both extremely well.
  • Chelsea is about to get set up for something nefarious with this bar rando; the writing is on the wall.
  • I love seeing Ashley question things; it feels realistic of how some go from school to the real world and it becomes reality.
  • Ben does not work for me. But Ashley is a complete mood.
  • So Andre's father is the police chief? Some kind of nepotism? Interesting.
  • Poppers?! Something else is gonna go POP, isn't it?!
  • "I only plan on getting married once." Well, you're doomed for six-plus marriages!
  • Oh, we've got Tiffany blue?! We got money!!
  • Multiple loves scenes in one episode?! Oh now!!!

haven’t watched soaps for over 10 years, so i don’t know if this is the new standard. but, not loving these 5-minute scenes followed by 3-5 minutes of commercials and promos. 

1st and 2nd breaks within 1st ten minutes

3rd@ 2:22-2:25

4th@2:30-2:35

    • 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. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
