I don't believe it's production issues; I think it was smart allowing them to bank a third month's worth of episodes, and allowing them to have more time to settle into a proper working groove (a.k.a. not rushing anyone). It was smart, in my eyes. Plus, with the inauguration, it avoided some potential preemptions that could have easily happened.

I mean, we know there were production issues - stuff like the lighting equipment not having arrived and CBS forcing them to start filming because they didn't want to delay it further. We also know that they spent time reshooting scenes, had to get an experienced soap videographer out of retirement to help them out and Tamara Tunie sending out an e-mail about "professionalism" (ouch), so it wouldn't surprise me if it did get delayed from whatever projected airdate CBS had in mind. I guess we'll see next week if there's a big set up for the pre-emption cliffhanger and that's why this week's Friday cliffhanger seemed off (or rather, seemed to have happened on Thursday).

BUT! The premiere date was removed by the time production was due to begin; it went from "January 2025" to "early 2025," so it's clear plans were changed from April to October 2025.

 Either way, I think pushing back to February from January was smart.

And I fully disagree about the cliffhanger thing; Thursday's didn't feel like a Friday ending, and I didn't see any issue in how yesterday's ended, at all.

Friday's episode was a weird one for me. 

-Tomas throwing in a random Spanish word here and there is cringe. Why do they write Hispanic characters this way? It's cliche and awkward. Have him speak on the phone with subtitles or interact with another Spanish speaking character if that was so necessary, but the amor, muchísimo, etc when just thrown in there to be thrown in there is giving Ricky Ricardo vibes.

-Derek/Ashley/Andre. Wow, this is painful. There is nothing remotely interesting about Ashley. We don't even have the full backstory between Ashley and Andre, but their romance is just not believable. I like whoever said that watching Derek and Ashley scenes feels like watching a different show. 

-Haley and Bill scenes actually made me uncomfortable. There was just a weird uncomfortability about it to me. I don't know if it was the writing that was bad or Haley's acting that seemed off today or maybe a bit of both.

I don't even think it was merely him cheating; it's been established Bill had cheated before, but it was bringing it into the home she shared with him and with Hayley specifically that drove her to this Betty Broderick-level of behaviour. It's fully believable; at the launch of the serial, according to Karla Mosley, it'd only been six months since the divorce had been finalised.

Accurate (i.e. Dani and Nikki comparisons)

I have a feeling Dani has always been impulsive and emotionally unstable.  That flashback we were shown was from Dani's perspective... but seeing how the family walks on egg shells whenever Dani is around tells me that this isn't a new thing going on with Dani.

Thank you for this. I thought I was the only one giving the side-eye to Andre's photography. I took better photos years ago with my Samsung 10. That collage of Ashley was laughably bad.

Honestly, some of the mantle photos in BTG homes look lousy, too. That framed photo of Bill and Hayley that Dani smashed was cheap looking, and no way would Anita Dupree want that weirdly posed photo of her kids on her mantle.

      Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.

      Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena

      Reva should have had a stroke...leaving her permanently MUTE.  Not able to utter a single sound, not even the slightest blubber or gurgle.

      I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

      I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.

      Could Nikki just be a big Gram Parsons fan? I think it works for Julie, but they should be doing better by Traci - none of this, from hair to wardrobe, is flattering.

      To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.
