BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

[te.]

I mean, I'd place Naomi in her late 20s as Dani would've gotten a kid pretty soon after marriage and Martin around Claybon's real age (37), so late 30s. So not exactly the same age. 

[Vee]

LOL, they're not going to do that with Martin at all. Next Vanguard #3 is gonna claim Kat being a social media maven is MVJ stealth recruiting for DOGE.

The problem with that is Nicole and Ted met at a medical conference. They'd be in their late 20s to have gone through med school. Lets say it as during med school that means they met in their mid 20s and had Martin before she turned 30. Having Martin be late 30s puts Nicole at closer to approaching 70. Things work best with him being around 30-31 which would just be a few years older than Naomi

It's so silly. If they started the show tomorrow and said Nicole and Ted somehow raised Anita and Vernon's last child due to some passing major health issue I would not complain. Or just a straight-up 180. I don't care!

[te.]

I agree, but I'm talking about if Martin was Anita and Vernon's instead of Nicole and Ted's child.

I don't write for this show any more than I assume that you do. I'm just theorizing and you sound worried. But I'm not.

[Contessa Donatella]

I need to make you my asst in Nitpick & Technicalities. There's too much work for just one person. 

[Vee]

We know. And you never will. That's the primary impetus beyond your increasingly embittered posting history over the last year across two active accounts (you haven't used the third much since you got mad that Empire existed). As soon as you realized BTG was not going to be using your helpful story and casting notes on this message board, you began constantly spamming its threads with hate speech videos followed by a series of conspiracy theories about how the show is secretly anti-Black and now homophobic. Will you be closing one of those other active accounts, BTW? Do you still think the show is 'guaranteed trash?' You've said that twice before in the weeks before its debut. Like you, I'm also just asking questions.

I did think yesterdays episode did a good job of providing a bit of difference between the Vanessa and Pamela's characters in regards to their function in Dani's life.  We all have friends that provide different functions so I could see Vanessa being the social friend (i.e. drinks out, having a laugh) and Pamela being the fixer (i.e. her snapping Dani back to reality, bringing the stuff Dani asked for, and being calm/posh).

It also was the first episode where Pamela had more then just a few lines so we got to see a bit more development of her character, plus got to see how Cady would make this character different then her previous long term characters.  The posh/upper crust accent and mannerisms differ considerably from Dixie and Rosanna.   

Also, soaps do adjust/change once they air for a bit vs what was planned originally in bible.  While it appears Ashley/Andre might be in the cards, the chemistry he has with Dani and Eva supersede the chemistry he has with Ashley so the show could shift gears. 

Santa Barbara is a perfect example with Cruz/Eden ending up being a couple vs the original plan of Cruz/Santana and Eden/Warren.  So it isn't out of the realm for plans to shift down the line.

@BetterForgottenMy thinking about if there will be any shifts/changes would most likely be four to six months into the future since the show taped about 12 weeks in advance before it debuted and probably wrote several more episodes ahead of them being filmed.

[Vanguardian53]

You are so silly AND worried. Have a nice day. I certainly intend to.

[Vee]

That will definitely be a shift, but it can come sooner than that. I'm extremely ready to see the fallout from May sweeps and that first contract cycle, let's put it that way lol.

Pamela is closer to Rosanna Cabot IMO, who was upper-class, was fiercely intelligent and articulate in Cady's first run on ATWT and was very different from Dixie Martin. Pamela is a more outsize and comic version of that same type, but I don't see her as very different yet from Vanessa myself. They will need to highlight her breeding and intellect to make that work, but then they'll actually have to give them uniquely distinct roles. Which I don't think they have yet myself. But as i said, I do think they can and should both exist.

I'm really not, but I'm not hearing any direct answers from you. Is BTG trash? Are you still mad you don't work there and never will? Are you pleased with the ratings? I hope you find contentment in some other field or vocation in life. Other than writing soaps, I mean. Since you don't.
