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!!!

want to watch the first week before posting my impressions. but, this really sticks out.

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

    • Per recent Twitch live: Wraps filming his new film on Friday. Begins a new film on May 19. Will resume regular Twitch streams soon. Has a lot of projects coming out later this year. His current project has kept him in Tennessee longer than he was meant to be.
    • Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?
    • Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.
    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?
