BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

Like I said, it was on the news last night. So for me, it was something that could have waited. And I can think of far more pressing news from what I saw last night that could early have cut into today that concerned me...and frankly the rest of the country. That was more of a big deal since no one would want history to repeat itself circa 1940s.

 

But I edited that OUT of my original post since we are here to talk about THIS show. Not politics.

no, it wasn’t on the news last night. what was on last night was them getting picked up. this live coverage is of the actual splash down. they’re back on earth. as i type, they are exiting the capsule.

might be in the minority here, but, at least for me, this is newsworthy!

and, it’s not like the old days when a soap aired and that was it. there are available options to watch.

There was a line of dialogue today that really bugged me. I guess that's down to today's scriptwriter Lynn Martin, who I have long admired. The line was about how it is just impossible to get this whole family together. WHAT?!!! The extended Dupree family gets together with each other every single day!!! Now, sure, they may not have 100% attendance. But, between meeting for meals, events & family meetings, they see each other quite a lot. I guess I should just laugh it off.

I'm catching back up again on this show. My work schedule is the busiest this time of year, so right now I'm binge watching this show (about five episodes) one day a week. I'm almost caught up again. I look forward to April where things will slow down for me some and I will be able to catch this show daily. Here are some of my latest thoughts:

I continue to love Eva. I think she's awesome and I'm really enjoying her interactions with the cast especially her alleged family. She's got nice chemistry with Ted, Nicole, Kat, Martin, etc... I like how as another posted pointed out it seems like she's falling for her alleged new family. Loved her getting rid of Leslie at Nicole's ceremony.

The theory that Chris B mentioned several pages back about her possibly Nicole and Ted's daughter had crossed my mind as well. I would love that especially since she has such a nice rapport with both of them. I have doubts about her really being Leslie's daughter. Maybe Leslie did steal her from them somehow, I think something like that could work and could be soapy. Especially considering her ongoing feud with Kat. It would be dramatic enough if she's Ted's daughter but to somehow make her Nicole's long-lost daughter as well, would bring even more fuel to their already heated rivalry. I would be here for something like that. It will be interesting to see what her paternity really ends up being.

Regarding Martin, I wonder if he murdered an abusive ex, stalker or something along those lines. Maybe that might help explain why he's so adamant about Smitty staying at home and out of the spotlight. Maybe his secret is one reason he's so adamant about that, though he has been coming across as controlling and manipulative regarding Smitty and his role. I do think that Martin may have killed someone, and I'm interested in learning what his secret really is. Smitty telling him he's safe after one of his nightmares, makes me wonder what Smitty may know/suspect about his secret (unless I missed something regarding Smitty's possibly knowledge of his secret). 

I continue to love Nicole, she's another one of my favorite characters on the show. DD is a breath of fresh air, she is so vital to the Dupree family. I'm also still enjoying Ted, Vernon, Anita and others.

I agree, Kat and Eva are some of the best parts of watching the show. Ambry(Eva) really stood out to me as a natural from day one. I wouldn't make them related though, I believe there is greater story options without that. 

These two have the potential to become Iconic and sit at the table with Vicki/Dorian, Brooke/Erica, heck even Phyllis/Dru. Let's see if the writers rise to the occasion.

Ooooh, look at yall favorite bad bish, THAT girl herself, laid out on the damn floor, probably pissy and shtty drunk. The wait staff at the country club waited on her hand and foot while ignoring Hayley, but once again, Hayley is at home with Bill, and Dani is a week away from cirrhosis of the liver. She really is trash!

Eva creeping on Tomas was out of left field for me. Randomly telling a stranger that you want him to bring you to multiple orgasms is definitely a big girl decision, but it felt like that only happened so that we could see Kat vs. Eva (again).

Naomi does nothing for me as a character, and the scenes with the prospective clients felt like an ethics training video.

As much as The Duprees suck™, I do enjoy their little breakfast scenes as it gets them out of their storylines and grounds them for a while and also gives us interactions between characters that we don’t get to see together, like Vernon and Kat.

Hate to say it, but Kat isn’t a favoriteanymore. I don’t mind her going after Eva, but the character just isn’t what I thought she would be.

Uhhhh NO...I'm pretty sure what I saw in my own room alone with my own eyes on the news last night where I live  WAS a news story about the astronauts. Not their landing...no. What their situation was...yes. I am not going to talk split hairs over another person's opinions on what counts as special report news where I've already explained my own opinion. Moreso when there are other options as well to see the current status of said astronauts without cutting into a show. To each their own.

LOL - I'm glad you said this, because I thought the same thing.  Being in corporate America, I couldn't help but think I was watching my annual ethics/workplace harassment training WBL again.  That being said, I still don't mind Naomi yet.

Here's some more thoughts I have regarding this last batch of episodes I just watched.

I don't care for Hayley and Bill together. She just seems too "young" for him IMO. I don't think they fit well together. I think that it could have worked better if Bill had married another age-appropriate woman that could have actually been a legitimate rival to Dani. 

Speaking of Bill I do think he's hot, lol. (To answer another poster's question about the hottest men on this show.) Yeah, he's hot lol. Though I understand that everyone may not agree on that. I am liking him too for now with his dastardly self.

I actually would like to see him and Dani make their way back together down the line and see them the happier version of them. (like the snippet we saw in the flashback). It's definitely looking like Dani is hitting the bottom right now, but maybe after that happens and if she can get herself together. Maybe both of them will have to deal with some/more consequences before that happens.

I think that Ashley is okay, but she doesn't really have much chemistry with anyone on this show. I think that Andre actually has the most chemistry with Eva, but I wouldn't want to see that, if she ends up being his biological cousin.

Also, I don't care for Vanessa or Doug too much. I am enjoying Jon Lindstrom's latest stint Joe the villainous casino owner. It's nice to see him on this show. I do wonder though how their storyline may possibly fit into other storylines/the overall show.

    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.
    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
