BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

That's where I am. I've offered some criticisms of the show, but I consider it to be normal soap talk. The wrong thing to do would be to say everything -- the dialogue, the acting, the sets, etc. -- is fire.

I really enjoy BTG and am extremely happy it's on the air. I think MVJ is a hero and a miracle worker for getting this to air. She has cemented her role in daytime history. She is legacy and she is iconic. I have no words to fully explain how impressive she is.

That does not mean I won't criticize what's not working.

I agree. Ambitions was a wild ride and a lot of fun. Jamey Giddens gets a ton of criticism here, but he did really good work on Ambitions.

Many of the people here who are wild about BTG mention reasons that were all over the place in Ambitions. My guess is that most people here never watched an episode of Ambitions.

So do I think Jamey is a positive addition to BTG? I do.

March Madness preemption of CBS soaps is always 3rd Thursday/Friday of March.
(only time that changed was in 2020 when Covid changed everything).
So Friday March 21 is end of basketball preemptions for 2025.

 

At this time CBS broadcast TV is
*not* carrying UEFA Champions League soccer "round of 16"
and *not* carrying UEFA Champions League soccer quarterfinals.
(The soccer is on CBSsports/paramount streaming options only)
Thus zero soccer interference with broadcast CBS soaps
in February, March, and early to mid April 2025.

Unknown if CBS broadcast TV
will carry the UEFA Champions League soccer semifinals.
If they do, it's during the end of April, start of May,
which could affect CBS soaps in some timezones (maybe).
To be announced at a later date.

    • The first time I cried from a soap, Zane's death. I cried for 3 days.
    • Very happy to see GH hit #1 on Hulu! The show's been on fire and deserves the added eyeballs.
    • I really appreciated all the movement in today's episode.  It resonated with me that it felt like the sort of nervous energy that can surround a family after death. I want to point out the EJ scene.  I was riveted by his multi-layered performance. When he told Belle that he went to her because he loved her, and then saw that she was embarrassed by him, and rejected the part of her that was attracted to him.  It started to make even more sense why he would try to protect Johnny (who I still don't think shot him).  EJ feels like a pariah (although TBH, it wouldn't have hurt to bring Marlena some of that tea that everyone had been promising her all morning).  And he doesn't want to pass that along to his son by exposing him as the shooter.  It is interesting that we see none of those same concern between Kristen and lil'Rachel. 
    • -- What a stupid party. Devon and Abby leave while Victor goes upstairs to the GCAC bar and talks with Kyle. Then we see Jack giving Nikki ANOTHER birthday toast as if the party has just begun. Huh??? -- This party perfectly encapsulates sweeps month for this show: lame, deadly, boring af. -- Once again, Cole gets really sick and no one insists on an ambulance or the ER. They really want him dead, don't they? Instead we hear multiple characters say "Gee, I hope Victoria doesn't catch it." Cole will be dead before Dumas. -- Kyle is really offering to make a contract with Victor so he can continue to see Claire? Jesus Wept. -- And then the shoe ends with Victor praising Nikki for softening his heart over the years -- after we've seen him treat Kyle, Michael, and Jack like sh_it for days.  
    • Your welcome! Will never understand the point of Budig! I forget she’s there 95% of the time and Thudley does too! 
    • I do think Zane could have been a decent long-term addition if they hadn't disposed of him - up to Lucas' arrival, at least.
    • It is 4 feet!!! https://www.hulu.com/hub/tv/collections/9979 Today, GH, I am amazed. #1 Up from #2 on Saturday, which was up from #4 during the week last week.

    • If he was responsible for Egyptian dust, you should have led with that! That one thing cinches it for me.
    • I would consider recasting Nikolas again just for the sake of those around him, but you may be right.
    • Watched Mondays episode, wow! That’s all I have to say. It was heartbreaking to watch. You really don’t know how invested you are in these characters until moments like this. Deidre was absolutely phenomenal in that whole episode, as I am sure she will be in the coming weeks. I was a bit torn about having Bo and Hope being the contrast in this episode, but I understand why they did it. And when Bo woke up and said fancy face to Hope, it broke me even more! Honestly, there are no more words except bravo to everyone involved and RIP to the greatest hero that ever existed in soaps John Black
