Trying to always be here with nitpick & technicalities, Ron's last day is Wed., 4-23. My countdown timer tells me that is 37 days away as of this very minute. I feel good about this because when I created this countdown timer/calendar it was 80+ days away.

To be fair, headwriters do not make all decisions. They sometimes get rather clear instructions from TPTB above them. 

 

He has abs. That's about it.

Annie Wilkes still defending her Paul Sheldon, no matter what.

While I can believe that this is all Ron, and that Paula/Jean didn’t edit or rewrite anything, I’m still curious as to how this all came to be, especially after years of completely ignoring Sami’s rape.

So many questions are going through my mind about it. 

Yeah.

But, it’s also pretty clear that Ron had a lot more authority than other head writers have had.

Come on now

Last week was great, except for Wednesday, with the reveal on Friday even making me cry. Having Lauren Koslow come in after Roman accidently dropped the bomb about EJ was a smart move to secure that the emotional stakes necessary were struck. Prior to this reveal, Carson Boatman was someone I had a contented like about as Johnny, but now I feel this story has solidified him as someone I can be truly invested. I had no idea he had it in him. It's nice to be surprised by this show, in a good way, in 2025. His scenes today with EJ made me cry again. The scenes were a bit longer than usual and more in depth. I find it very hard to believe the new writers didn't have some sort of hand in the writing dig deeper. This rape reveal has really lit a fire under the show's ass and I hope they can keep up the momentum, especially for Carson Boatman and Johnny. I've even liked the show more than BTG in the past week because of it.

Once the

-- So are you blaming TPTB for the entire Body & Soul debacle? Sometimes TPTB should step in earlier.

-- Dan F and Carson Boatman were both really good today. Their scenes made the episode, and I agree the episode should have ended on them.

-- I'm sick of both Kristen and her mother. They can both go. I never liked this old Rachel casting.

I’m blanking here, I know of Alan and EJ, who’s the third? 
 

Every now and then when I completely have written DAYS off as a complete mockery of soaps under Ron, we have scenes like today and Fridays episode.

Maybe

Arnold (Rafe2) raped (legally called rape by impersonation or rape by fraud).
EJ raped her again by facilitating Arnold to be in her bed.


In addition to all of that ... Sami herself is a rapist, she raped Austin

 

Someday I'd like to see Sami get therapy.  But I don't have high hopes for that getting written correctly.  And I'd hate to have it written poorly.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next.

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.
