This can be easily resolved. Daphnee could deliver lines the way Susan Lucci did as Erica when she said, "my daughter's daughter."

Julie is likely putting out fires every day, which is typical for a "startup" environment, which is exactly what BTG is.

This was a great 2 weeks, and BTG is now by far the most enjoyable soap.

I'm still keeping up with the others, but only GH holds my attention. Y&R, BOLD, and DAYS are "I can multi-task" while these shows are on. I'm watching them only out of habit, and much of it is hate-watching.

 

 

I think they've been sexy and fun, but I personally don't see the romantic chemistry.

Total agreement!

I remain very interested & even attached to GH. DAYS continues to be a problem for me, although I am only 2 days behind, which is not too bad since it's the weekend.

 

Chem being totally subjective, still I am curious. You specify "romantic chemistry" do you mean you don't see the sexual heat others of us do see? Does it matter if they are in romantic love?

Woo, I'm actually up to date enough with both the show and the thread to actually post a bit!

I'm really surprised y'all haven't commented on some of the spicy language... shizz, g-spot, liberal use of bitch and ass? I have never heard a US soap try to slip in the S-word! Andre almost dropped an F the other day during the elevator birth scene, haha. I'm hoping the other soaps will loosen up!

When the bartender asked Dani if she's Mrs. Dupree or Hamilton... that was kind of a recurring theme on Y&R when Nikki and Jack got married and Jack would be embarrassed as people about town still knew her as Mrs. Newman... in other words, very vintage soap.

It's kind of weird that they all hook up at the same bar... like Chelsea went to hook up with a threesome at the same place her mom is at all the time? Would Dani be cool with that? Vanessa meets her lovers there? I take it Dani doesn't know she's cheating (she made up a cover story for her hookup in episode 1), so I wonder how Dani will take that since she feels so strongly about cheaters. I feel like they may need a second, more downlow place for the hookups you really want to keep private.

Vanessa and Doug have college age kids? Why? All these kids are too old! She just seems too young to be giving lines like her sex life is dead and she's got an empty nest.

Guess Anita and Vernon have low guarantees, but I want Tunie in her own story, pronto.

Loved Shanice listening to Nicole and Kat in the hospital... it's a pet peeve of mine when soap characters have these personal conversations in public so I liked that she was reacting, and will definitely repeat it, lol.

The lighting for Jon Lindstrom was the most artistic lighting so far... made him look very menacing. But what does he want with a heart surgeon? Intriguing.

I love how sweet Ted is and how Eva doesn't know how to react... she has really good facial expressions. Eventually she'll realize how mom has been lying to her and melt down. Can't wait to see it.

The pacing felt weird today.... abrupt cuts to commercials practically mid-sentence, but then that long speech from Dani (fell flat). The catwalking was really fun, made them feel like a real family, and Tunie was a queen. Wish they hadn't cut away from Anita and Vernon's dance so soon... they called for a more classic soap opera fade.

Just when it was feeling like there wasn't going to be a cliffhanger... haha... so that's why they dragged out the rooftep set for Kay and Chelsea.... ohhh, Leslie pulling another Sheila-ism (rooftop scene with Taylor, also a psychiatrist!)! I don't know why Jacob had to be the one to do it, but... YES! Go Bill! Dani 100% deserves it and I love to see consequences. That press conference pretending it was NBD was such BS. Loved Bill's little Victor Newman contemplative moment at the end.

I think it was mentioned before that Vanessa comes from money so maybe Joey knows about that and is using the hubby to get to that money.   That's my money.

While I liked Dani getting what was coming to her, I was really hoping that we could have gotten another Bill and Dani free day so that we could have focused more focus time on the other characters today.

I have read on other boards that people are kind of annoyed with the overexposure of Dani, and I have to agree.   Nicole's family and story is more interesting to me then Dani's, plus would like to see a bit more focus on Ruben/Anita outside of handwringing about their kids and grandkids

NBD is no big deal, so we clearly don't agree. Haha. Yes i will agree attempted murder is a reach but at the presser Bill listed several other crimes... assault and illegal discharge of a weapon, that type of thing. She can plead it down to a lesser charge, but you can’t just go around shooting at weddings! Plus she assaulted them like three other times last week. Seeing consequences is refreshing!

kalbir mentioned "off the charts heat generating romantic chemistry," so that's what I responded to. I do see sexual heat, but not romantic chem. These are two lustful hedonists going at it.

I'll be honest about that. I don't like the cuts to commercial  that BTG does. I think they're striving for their own singular look, but it doesn't work for me. Usually seems awkward and unfinished.

I will never understand people being unable to accept constructive criticism. I’ve filled the show with compliments. However some things haven’t worked for me. And that goes for the post launch PR campaign as well. That is not negativity. 

Thanks Jane. This is much better.
