I reeeeeeealy want to know the truth about how Alan died now. 

 

I'd also like to know if they'll expand on Leslie's line about her theater days. I wonder if we'll see more costumes and wigs down the line 

I always like reading people's differing thoughts. What didn't you like about it ?

No soap opera is perfect, but BTG makes all the other current soaps look like they are written for 13 year-olds.  And the writers on BTG don't talk down to their audience.  I finally feel like I'm watching a soap opera written for adults.  Thank you MVJ!!

Ding, ding, ding! This is smartly written, and it's clear CBS, CBS Studios, NAACP, Procter & Gamble Studios, Sheila Ducksworth, and company believe in Michele Val Jean and her team to make the creative decisions necessary for this soap to proceed, and it's refreshing, because I don't feel like from the other four American daytime soaps. Beyond the Gates reminds me of the days of watching soaps as a child with my mother during the summer months.

I completely agree. While the show is not horrible I don't think all the storylines were thought out for long-term storytelling. I felt the same way about the family tree, and am happy to see a few others starting to see what a clocked in week one. On a positive note, it is only week 3 and MVJ has plenty of time to change the set up.

High five for more gay crew members. Hate to say it, but I think this will become common on the show. Outside of maybe a handful of shirtless scenes throughout the summer. 

It wasn't a bad episode I just did not feel the excitement as everyone else did regarding Leslie's shenanigans. It lacked mystery and intrigue for me. I am pretty old school I guess, I love those build-up scenes of the villain getting dressed before they make their entrance. I am not anticipating the interactions as I would have. Hope that makes sense lol.

And me.

      https://apnews.com/article/school-segregation-order-civil-rights-justice-department-7fc5e2e4ef8e9ad4a283f563c042ae7c When the Justice Department lifted a school desegregation order in Louisiana this week, officials called its continued existence a “historical wrong” and suggested that others dating to the Civil Rights Movement should be reconsidered.

      Lol.  I love that this board still allows misinformation from a bad source.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      Thanks @kalbir what a time to have enjoyed the peak of the primetime soaps. Haha you’re good. The only complaint I have with Lorraine’s death as I mentioned recently in the FC thread was it was overkill, and all we got Apollonia. If a pregnant woman had to be killed off, I would’ve chosen just killing off Robin instead in some freak accident or in the explosion at Richard’s to save us from us that disaster lol.    Did Hotel have a cliffhanger that year? I imagine if Hotel had been soapier we would’ve had cliffhangers like the hotel catching on fire or bombed by an ex-lover of Christine. Peter pisses everyone off and is shot in his office. Or a major Golden age star like a Olivia de Havilland shows and tells how she originally owned the Hotel and how Victoria Cabot & Laura Trent stole it from her but now she owns it etc.

      The whole AMC 2.0 pulled it together in mere weeks to get a show up and running, with scripts and a cast.

      Ginger Smith seemed really passionate about being in the executive producer position, and I think she really did a fantastic job in six weeks. It was just well done.

      I totally didn’t pick up on that. Just perfect! I don’t get the Maurice Johnson hate around here at all. He didn’t take me out of the scenes at all. I understood everything he was portraying. It was great. I do wonder if there will be a personality shift with the new actor, whom I’m still not excited about. Exactly. Right? I’m in the exact same boat as you. Agree with most of this except I never found anything off with Ted, didn’t suspect a thing. I just watched yesterday’s episode and it was one of the best soap episodes I’ve seen in a very long time. I was enthralled the entire time. Just fantastic.

      I was confused too, but I think it was always a "tribute thread" (this one and OLTL's were created when their cancellations were announced). They just changed the show abbreviations to their titles spelled out, I guess to make the board just a little bit more uniform. I was lost, too lol

      Well... I am. I think she's losing her initial menacing presence. Slowly but surely. I need the crazy dialed back. But as I said... this is very miniscule negative reaction. I am loving the show right now. We'll see how they'll continue after the fireworks.
