BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

So you're the only one here who knows "the way of the world"? That is ridiculous.

LOTS is wrong and so is SOME, because it implies there's a significant percentage of gay people who claim they're gay because they were molested.

The number is not zero, but the number is very low. You are not going to go unanswered when you attempt to pass off ignorance as fact.

No. Be explicit about your beliefs so it's clear when we report you. Do you believe lots of gay men are turned gay by molestation, or that many gay people believe this? Which is it, because both are wrong.

Thank you for saying this. I’m a black gay man with tons of other gay friends. No one in my circle or even peripheral to the people I know have ever claimed to be gay because they were molested. This is harmful rhetoric to spread as “concern” for something that he has no basis to base it on. 

 

AWFUL

I love them so so much.

Ol drunk.

@Cheap21  I do like your ideas minus Ashley dying.  I do think she could linger in a coma/on the edge of death for a few days and survive.  This could also delve into  her friendship with Naomi and Jacob, since it was Naomi's mom who caused the accident that killed Derek and severely injure Ashley. What if mobster Joey turned out to be her father, his vengance on Dani and perhaps the DuPree family might be interesting to see as well.

Yes, or even think they are sisters for a while.  Maybe even through in a little competiton for Tomas.

That's what Ron Carlivati does, makes things a joke.  He thinks he's clever.  I hope MVJ corrals/stops those tendencies.  Friday March 14 -- the basic story from MVJ was great but Carlivati's breakdown was too camp.

Kat made herself look really childish with that "you're in my seat" stunt. Her suspicions about Eva are not wrong, but she's too worried about making fun of her clothes and feeling threatened by her presence than trying to find out what she's up to. Eva is pushing her buttons because she is figuring out how easy it is to set Kat off.

Hayley being ignored at the country club was hilarious. At one point I thought she was going to get loud, but she did have enough sense to just leave.

Naomi suing Bill would be quite a good story to watch. Of course it gives Bill another reason to engage with Dani because he was certainly blame her.

Bill has some decency. I liked how he told that creepy partner to back off talking about Kat.

Dani laying on the floor at the end was a perfect soap scene. It really is opening the door to how damaged she is and that her family doesn't know the extent.

    • -- I agree that the vibes are there, but I can also make the case that it's a pale imitation. That Neil Winters Lounge is already a pretty classy place, but the decor make it look tackier. Those Happy Birthday signs are tragic in design and color. The tablecloths look like they've been chosen by Helen Keller. Where is Claire? We hear stupid reasons for her lateness, but we all know it's because this show is too cheap to pay for too many actors in any one episode. It makes NO sense that Victoria has that toast to Nikki without Claire's presence. And where is Cole? Off coughing somewhere? -- The rest of the show was watching people open their black invitations from Alexander Dumas -- for a party on June 13...TWO WEEKS AWAY. So we got through the entire sweeps and still no Dumas? The big sweeps reveal is a party in France in 2 weeks??? Why anyone thinks this is good soap is beyond me.  
    • Chandler Massey smirked in EVERY scene in which he appeared. He's not a good actor. He cannot get into character, ever, and plays every scene like he's Chandler running into an old friend on the street. I hate it because actors should take their work seriously and respect it and everyone around them.   It's all so real, to the point where there's no sense trying to separate Drake from his character. I snarked a lot over the years about Drake Hogestyn's acting -- very arch, lots of tics, over-the-top at times -- but I also think he was a great soap star. There was so much humanity in everything he did, and he was always a comforting and stabilizing force on screen. Flashbacks on soaps are almost always special and fun, but does anyone come across as more loving and filled with humanity than John? I don't think so. DAYS has suffered a lot of loss in the past few years. For me, this one hits the hardest.
    • “I’m not a lifelong soap fan, but I sure am now,” Wolf tells PEOPLE about creating the documentary Soaps, which includes deep dives into the biggest and most successful soap operas in the industry, with a strong focus on The Bold and the Beautiful. “It reflects, in a broader way, the cultural significance of soap operas and the incredible task involved in bringing these stories to the screen every day.”
    • I have this for the 4th act on 11/9/88, which per my files, is the first time John and Stefano are in a scene together: Limo (Roman, Diana, Stefano, Milo) Then their second time together is 11/17/88 in the second-to-last act: ON LOCATION: Beach & Cliff (Diana, Roman, Stefano) I'd have to check the 2016 logs, so I don't know who shares scenes as easily in this year, but these are the last 4 episodes that John and Stefano were both in together: 1/8/16, 1/11/16, 3/1/16, 3/2/16.
    • I'm going to respond to you about this show. I've been accused of hating on it for some reason or another. But as a 53-year-old black man I do not hate this show at all. It heavily represents people like me, but I want it to be treated well and not just pushed with half-assedness, which is what I feel has happened on several occasions so far. Bad editing, bad cliffhangers, or no cliffhangers at all, disappearing characters with dropped storylines, etc. I can understand shows no longer wanting certain characters or  storylines, but why the "Judy Winslow" effect? I'm really finding it weird that Jacob doesn't mention his father or his detective partner. Jacob was smack dab in the middle of them both.
    • I love many things about BTG very much. For me, it's greatest strength is how the family relationships are so beautifully written. The deep love between family members while acknowledging each other's flaws--it's SO GOOD.  The best of the best is the two sister relationships: loving but very different sisters Dani and Nicole and adversarial sisters Kat and Eva. These two relationships can anchor the show for many years to come, in my opinion. (The one caveat is that the young and very talented Colby and Ambyr may want to leave the show sooner rather than later, but that's to be expected). My biggest problem with this show is this: Where are the romantic love stories? Where are the star-crossed lovers? Almost every character on this show is married, or in a committed relationship, or just fooling around. Right now the only potential for this are in the Ashley/Andre/Derek and Kat/Tomas/Eva situations. Like a lot of people, I feel the sooner they ditch Ashley and Derek, the better. I hate picking on actors, but the characters are so blah and bland it's like they're a parody of soap characters. I like Andre, and there's some indication they might have him become more serious about Dani, but I don't see that becoming a big love story. I could be wrong. Kat and Eva fighting over a man would be amazing. Over Tomas? No.  I've noticed on social media some people are starting to ship Kat and Jacob. I think that shows how much viewers long for a messy love story. There is much I enjoy about BTG and I have no intention of bailing on it. But over all my many years of watching soap operas, the thing that always got me the most excited about them was the question: "When are those two finally going to get together?"

        Some initial thoughts.   1) a Who's who back in the day with an assortment of well known performers. 2) Surprised Debra Messing would agree to play a conservative character 3) Not surprised a network didn't pick this up because showing a conservative that is human/likable is a no no in Hollywood LOL
    • Yes from when they went on Let’s Make a Deal too. Pam stole Forrester designs for Jackie M. Of course a month later we saw Nick, Lesley, Owen, and Bridget all exit in the same episode.
