Right! It's been so long.

I'm happy this thread is seeing lots of interactions, but it's only been one week and we're on page 81! Even for a weekly thread, that is HUGE!

As you said, it'll eventually taper down, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing for the show. We shall see.

The posters will decide where things go from here, of course.

We're not doing daily threads.  I hated them.  LOL  It clutters the forum.   There's a reason why the star or circle to the left of every thread title is useful.

I like the monthly topics. With my ADHD if there is a new topic every day or week... That will make me go crazy. (Not Dani level crazy don't worry) I like everything in one place. It calms me down. But thats just my opinion. Hahaha. I will adapt with anything

Regardless, I for one do not want to keep up with daily threads in perpetuity lol. I'd personally keep it to monthly myself for now (uh, unless it hits 150).

It does, but OTOH Ted already knows. How long can that sustain itself?

I do think they know they have to hit hard out of the gate to compete, so I don't have a problem with the pace atm - it's strong but doesn't feel rushed to me, unless everyone finds out about Dana and Eva immediately. But they're also saying in advance press that things get really crazy in late April in time for May sweeps. So I wonder what that will look like, and if we have a classic Guza-style event setpiece for May (and IMO they might as well).

As if we aren't used to the best HW seasons have an event every episode.

I would think to keep momentum BTG would at least give us one event a week. If not something to build up to a weekly cliffhanger.

 

 

And since it's now been mentioned so I don't have to avoid mentioning it yep on end of April/start of May Sweeps. Which is why I speculated about Guza being in the house because by that point, I bet the shows will be working well enough for one of his Sweeps events.

The last time I clearly remember daily threads occurring on this board was back in summer/fall of 2008 especially with Y&R and OLTL as the MAB/Sheffer/Rauch/Hamner crew and Carlivati material at the time excited everyone including myself. Unfortunately it turned out to be wool being pulled over everyone’s eyes in the long term. 
 

A weekly thread wouldn’t be a bad idea. I’m just now finally caught up and don’t even know where to begin replying or share my thoughts LOL. I’ll  share here in a bit though.

Yes at least weekly, maybe daily. 

With a monthly thread, those who wish to remain unspoiled, if they are a few days behind, would have to wade through pages of discussion of episodes they haven't seen yet.

Also with the show now streaming on Pluto, all the Pluto viewers would be a week behind, so I think weekly or daily makes more sense than monthly.

 

Edit, perhaps I agree with the poster that said daily might be too confusing?  Too many threads to search through? Unless BTG gets its own section on SON, there would be too much to have 30 daily BTG threads mixed in with all the threads on other soaps.

Week two is in the books and already, I can see the technical improvements. BTG, is definitely the soap we all needed right now. I love this soap and I honestly can't say anything negative about it. Sure, some of the cast is green, but I am willing to give them some time. And the expository dialogue, it is a must especially for viewers that are not as passionate as we are and watching daily.

The character I hate (maybe love later) is Martin. I love Nicole the best after 2 weeks. Vanessa was a surprise and I love her too.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
