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 ?

Yup. Did you see today when Martin basically... behind Smitty's back... tried to ruin his career opportunity? That was sooo vile.

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.

    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
    • Y&R: 10% good, 90% garbage time BtG: 90% good, 10% garbage time
    • Valid question. Decades ago I didn't understand how this works, but then I learned.  But I never saw her as a romantic lead anyhow. I still dislike rapist Chelsea on Y&R.  And that show pairing her with her victim was just awful.
    • Oh yes I tuned back in once Ron was gone and have been enjoying what I’ve been seeing so far. This upcoming week is probably going to have me bawling though! As far Y&R I may a little harsh haha but the month started off with Summer’s abrupt departure (You go AL!!!) and it’s been downhill ever since. The one bright spot has been MM’s return along with Traci and Ashley returning to reflect, otherwise I felt the month as a whole was cumbersome to get through, especially since there wasn’t any momentum when there should have been.
    • from her nytime obit: ”Ms. Mahaffey had worked steadily over the past five decades, starting out on the NBC daytime soap opera, “The Doctors,” for which she received a Daytime Emmy nomination for best supporting actress in 1980.”
    • Do people have the same problem with Sami and Kristen being rapists who have been married several times? I don't often deal in moral equivalencies, because we would obviously need to consider their relative capacity to overpower a man's ability to consent.  But, their motives were similar to EJ's. Honestly just wondering since the EJ thing has never been an issue for me.
    • Thank you!!! You knew I was coming.

       But it just seem like a pretty good one from what I've seen so far on the majority of the soaps. I'm just sorry that I'm so behind. lol.    I'm loving the DAYS praise since I'm still approaching mid-May. I am liking the new writers so far.    That said...oooooo you gave Y&R an F? I admit...I've not been liking it much either, but I am still surprised. Thank you!!!

      I only liked Ejabby for the sole purpose of breaking and freeing Sami from her rapist. They had Chem out the a@@ and it was messy fun until they tried to make it more then it needed to be. KM Abigail was more like MA Jack so her being a messy smug thot wasn't much of a stretch. I didn't really take to her Abigail until the Ben/Chad affair and the Cabin abs is a serial killer story for the 50th.
    • 5-27   UGH. SHUT UP, RIDGE!!!   So darn entitled, and I don't even care if he's right. Steffy and Hope FINALLY getting along does look suspect. But he's the last person to be sitting here and having an issue.   And I'm a sucker for it, but awwww. Carter and Hope got engaged.   Cute Liam/Finn moment.
