 Taste. 

 

Which I see you have with liking Jacob too with his nice onion.  

 

But seriously lol, I'm not as down on Derek as everyone else cuz himbo (and will holler if he ever gets a scene that feels Ronn Moss coded), but I agree. A few more shirtless scenes wouldn't hurt.

LOL, you're very welcome. We all know that this hotness isn't my cup of tea but it doesn't keep me from having an opinion & I agree with the Mike Manning character (still hate that name)  & Andre & Jacob. And, I want someone to get rid of the sameness in facial hair!!!

Since we're starting a new week of BTG, I'm curious as to how most of you are consuming the soap. Are you watching live, recording and playing back later, or streaming? Also, are you watching daily or binging?

My plan was to watch the premiere live and maybe daily for the first week, but I expected to be binging on the weekends. However, so far I've been streaming daily once I get home from work.

I do wish Paramount would drop the episodes earlier in the day.

I work in Public Education (a school counselor at a high school) so unfortunately I am at work during the day when it airs live.  I do record it through Hulu Live and watch that day's episodes when I get home in the evenings. 

I do hope that Ben Gavin will loosen up soon. Maybe it was the newness of the show or each of the daytime newbies trying to find themselves in their character, but he has been very wooden and shown no emotion these last several weeks.  I am wondering if we will see a darker Derek emerge after this concussion in the fire and his growing jealousy of Andre and Ashley.  

Not wanting his picture taken for publicity makes me think he also has something to hide.  Maybe it will play out soon. 

 

As for starving, yes we were.  Until now I felt like we have been on wash, rinse, repeat when it comes to daytime shows.  I hope this new energy in daytime will allow the other networks to either consider creating new shows or revive some of the cancelled ones. 

I do agree they want to keep Dani in a gray area and all of this bouncing back and forth is maddening!!!!  My ideal for Dani is for her to find out who she is as a single woman, a mother, a sister and a career woman and to figure out how to live independenly.  She went from living with the support of her dad, to marrying Bill at 19 and giving up her dreams to be a wife and mom, so her whole adult life she has only known one thing... wife and motherhood. Her kids are grown and she is in that house alone.  I am sure it  an bring up her insecurities, but that is what is missing.  I may be the only one, but I want them to explore those insecurities in Dani... and let her come out stronger and more powerful.

I am in the minority, but I like the character of Ashley and do think Jen Jacobs (I think is the actresses name) has started to come out of her shell.  BUT I like her away from Derek and would like to see them flesh out the character more and develop her backstory.

Hmm, you've made me think of what my soap consumption has been of late.  DAYS is my traditional soap since I began watching it in 1970. And, no question it is bad. Produced too fast & too cheaply & both of those things show. Recently we've had some good times due almost entirely to Hayes&Hayes. I hold onto the strongest wish that SSH wins an Emmy for Best Supporting.  I also hope the Emmys will pay tribute to those we've lost: Bill, Wayne & Drake. GH I applaud for the good they have but am perpetually angry with them because they could be great & they just aren't. 

Another great bit of fan review & critique of my girl, Dani! Thanks for this. I was in despair of Dani discussion here, the other day. A new day brings new talk!!!

Here, I agree with this. 

I watch GH & BTG daily in a group via zoom. The room which we use all the time is named Jarly Daily Zoom & that is the commonality that we began to be a group around, GH Jarly fans. However, at different times we have people watch with us who are not Jarly fans. They are welcome as long as they don't do something stupid like insult Carly or Jason or their host Angela or promote something intolerable to the group like wanting the show to put Carly & Sonny back together as a couple. We are very tolerant of varying opinions except NOT that one. Our motto is "ABC" with regard to female companionship for Sonny it's Anyone But Carly. We watch & we talk about what we saw. There's about a dozen usually. Then half the group departs & the remaining 6 watch - and talk - BGT, with great enthusiasm. This is my first experience in group soap watching & I love it. Later I may do a rewatch alone, at home. Or I may do an edit of either show.

    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
    • Not to hijack the thread, but was that character Justine? I just found this interview online with Logan and see what you're talking about - wow!   http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
    • My bad….ill fix that  Fixed 
    • Where do you discover this crazy rumor??
