  • Andre found Dani in her druken state; I wonder how she'll talk her way out of it.
  • Derek, you don't even look like you season your food beyond a bit of salt and pepper. I'll skip your lasagna, kthnx.
  • Ms. Hayley is feeling down in the dumps. Oh. Well, Miss Thang should have thought about that before marrying Bill Hamilton and moving into Fairmont Crest, darling. Perhaps you should have stayed out of the community.
  • Momma Dana don't play. At all. Eva is seeing things beyond Momma's rose-coloured glasses, and she's seeing the error of Dana's ways.
  • Andre isn't buying what Dani is selling. I love it. He's smarter than he actually looks. It seems like second doubts are setting in. That's it, André; realise she's using your ass! Go fight for the right girl for you: Ashley!
  • I love the family chemistry between Andre and Nicole. It's very special.
  • Yes, Derek overdid it. Now admit him back into the hospital, and let him stay there. ALONE!
  • Derek is a moron; all hands on deck situation or not, it does not matter. I am sure your chief knows of your medical situation. Back to the ICU he goes.
  • Dana is unhinged to the highest of the max. She has got multiple screws absolutely loose, and a one-way ticket to the nutfarm is where she's headed.
  • Atta girl, Ashley. Think about the man you should be with!
  • Bill is a smooth-talker, but it wouldn't work on me. These women (Dani, Hayley) need the damn backbone Naomi has.
  • It's about time we got some scenes between Ashley and her mum Jan.
  • I am with Nicole. That anniversary sounds pathetic and boring. And would be even if it were not an anniversary. I'd rather sl*t my wrists.
  • What is it with Bill that has women wrapped up in his hands? Insanity to me.
  • Good on Dani for pouring the booze out. That's the first step (which I am sure she'll take plenty of times).

Next week looks insane! Hayley vs. Naomi?! That's going to be fire! And looks like they prepped for this shortened week, too. Loving it.

Lackluster cliffhanger... it'll be a very slow journey to Monday.  The previews look good though.

How old are Andrew and Ashley supposed to be?  I'm guessing 25-28?  And Dani is what 45-50?  Wondering if the age gap between Andre and Dani would make sense, and if that's just of fun and the Andre/Ashley/Derek triangle is endgame.

Yes! I love that you can look at them and totally see where they are shopping at.

 

But would Leslie be shopping at Target? I see her more picking up what she can at Wal-Mart or Big Lots or even thrifting.

Walmart and Big Lots carry the same type of stuff that Target has. my point is that her decor is dated and not stuff you'd see sold in stores in 2025. They would have to be obtained from thrift stores. I dont find her fashion dated so she doesnt seem to me like someone thats stuck with a 1980s mindset. Maybe thats largely Eva bc I hate her fashion and find it dated more so than Leslie

I've not seen today yet so I'm intentionally not up to date here but I wanted to say something about yesterday that I neglected to say then & that is how glad I was to hear Hayley say that she IS going back to work!! She's right about that & Bill put a fair amount of pressure on her to get her not to, so I was right proud of her.

Costume designer Jeresa Featherstone said that Eva is a "thrifter" (buys her clothes at thrift stores).  Any wardrobe the show purchased for her was adjusted to look like it came from a thrift store, yet it still suits Eva's style.

I think it’s weird for a grown adult that watched a person grow up from a young child to adulthood enter into a sexual relationship with said person. He played with her kids when they were children. They aren’t touching on that but he was likely spending time in Dani’s house with his other cousins. I think it would be realistic to write Nicole as being disgusted by that and I wouldn’t blame her. Like how long were you sexually attracted to him? Obviously she’s not a predator but it’s natural to not be approving of this given the optics

It always amazes me on TV when someone had just gotten passed out drunk and hours later seems fully functional (just a little tired lol)  I mean obviously it makes sense for dramatic reasons to have them sober up, but...  One other drunk behaviour annoyance--if Dani has been hitting the vodka bottle regularly for a while now--would she really have passed out drinking a bottle of wine the other day?  From a relationship I had I know a bit about heavy drinkers and that wouldn't track at all (I guess she could already have been drunk when she showed up at the house which would make some sense...)

Of course, Andre would find Dani!!

 

GIRL, BYE!!! Hayley wanting to break up like that after being ignored at the country club. As if she was not warned in Episode 1.

 

Oooo...not Ashley thinking of Andre...

    • -- 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.
