BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

[janea4old]

Still working my way through Thurs March 6.  Oh wow.
That line from Smitty: 
"it doesn't mean that my needs and dreams are gonna be ignored by default. And I am not gonna put my life on hold - just to avoid upsetting you!"

I did that in my own life, gave up my needs and dreams just to avoid upsetting my "partner" at the time.   And giving that up - it gave me lasting scars.  It was many years before I finally left that person.

This is the catharsis of good drama.  I reexperience my own life trauma by watching it fictionally, and it gives me a way to process it.  I thought I was past it, but there are still layers of those scars within me, that I see I still need to process.

A good soap will entertain, but also inspire a viewer to examine their own life choices, and perhaps make needed changes.   I hope this storyline helps viewers to leave toxic relationships before there are longterm scars.

O course, agree about Dani & Andre. Hilarious t hat daily she says, "No more. Never again" and then they have sex & spend the night & she throws him out again in the morning.

You were talking about Ashley & Derek. My mistake. I thought you were speaking of Bill & Hayley. Seems like  I'm the only one remarking on those two.

 

Is she the perpetual low bar comparison point?

BTW, I dispute the idea that lesbians are always safer to tell story about. GL Otalia being a prime example. They were far more threatening than teen or YA guys.

Taboi's reference to "nosy nurse" was not about Ashley.
It was about Ashley's nursing supervisor "Shanice", the fun gossipy character.

Well the story with Forbes March. He has said that Mason could not be physical with Noah, only shoulder taps.

Also killing Reid like that and never showing a Nuke love scene

ATWT did seem committed to Luke given he had multiple love interests crushes (Kevin, Noah, Brian, Reid) but Noah's other possibilities  (Zach, Mason) were treated like dayplayers

Ah so Bill and Hayley's home set is *supposed* to look unimpressive:

Thurs. March 6: Dani enters Bill & Hayley's new home and glances around at the living room decor, and then 
Dani snarks to Hayley:
"This is nice! Bill hired Glorietta Interiors, am I right?"
Hayley to Dani: "I'm sure you didn't come here to judge my living room."

MVJ wrote week one all by herself

Wonder if those scripts are what got the soap greenlit

[janea4old]

Dani to Hayley: "The fairy tell never tells you how Prince Charming can become a real son-of-a-b!tch, once that ring goes on your finger."

(this is also relevant to Martin/Smitty, obviously)

Bill is upstairs during this whole convo.  After Dani leaves. Bill enters the living room and asks Hayley if he just heard Dani's voice.  Hayley says yes.  Bill says "I need you to hear me well.  You cannot trust Dani". 

This makes me wonder/speculate -- what if Bill was listening from upstairs, and is trying to gaslight Hayley to disregard Dani's warning?
