BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

[Cheap21]

You dont see Sheila Carter from Sherri Carter? I mean they arent trying to be subtle with that one...lol

[Liberty City]

No.

[MontyB]

This one is so in your face, but I'm here for it as long as they don't go down the completely ridiculous road.

[Contessa Donatella]

Two things. 

I am not discounting self-referential injokes that are written into soap dialogue. Although I am critical of some of it. (DAYS, Jamey & Ron, mostly) I was NOT critical of this usage. 

And, I am not a Bell soap fan so Kimberlin Brown's villain is mostly a footnote to me. I am aware of the broad strokes, but I would not begin to say that I really KNOW that character because I simply do not have the experience of it, if you see what I mean.

Yup. It's an obvious homage in parts.

It’s crazy to see a soap opera cause this much discussion in 2025. We really were starving.

[Taoboi]

Very.

 

I definitely shocked to see any soap get me to do a rewatch. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Starving specifically for a different kind of soap.

 

Now, I have been rewatching GH for at least 2 years, not every day, but some days. I know I started before Mulchahey, which has been 1 year. Dang, I can't remember why I began it.

 

[Antoyne]

I literally never rewatch episodes except this show.

[Liberty City]

It's so delicious an American daytime soap has done this.

[kalbir]

I know. I can barely keep up with this thread

Same. I know Shelia as a legendary soap psycho but I didn't watch Y&R so I don't know anything about her. I respect the homage but that's all it should be. It's a brand new world and I'm ready for the evolution.

[Contessa Donatella]

I am so pleased to be in good company! 

[UKBoi]

Idk why but I get big Danielle Staub vibes from her

[ranger1rg]

I co-sign on this. The Andre/Ashley/Derek story is absolutely awful, and I blame the writing more than the actors. They're not doing it for me, but I have to agree with you and wonder who could make this stuff work.
