Hayley said ENOUGH 

Ain't no wig Leslie can wear that Turtleneck doesn't recognize who she is

[DemetriKane]

Eva has my whole heart. I feel bad for her.  Looking forward to Tomorrow.

• Nicole is a good sister to Dani, and I hope that Dani is able to rely on her sister for help and support.
• Hayley vs. Naomi is beautiful; this is going to be the juiciest of juicy showdowns. I cannot wait.
• Bradley, do not back down to Martin again. This time rip him apart from limb to limb; stand up for yourself.
• Katherine Richardson what is it you are up to?
• Dana & Eva, isn't it risky to be seen at Orphey Gene's right now?
• Jacob is sharp; he's not going to just fall for Marcel's 180° behaviour turn, is he? I sure hope not!
• Good going, Bradley, for standing up for yourself right now. Make how you feel known for Mr. Abusively Cut-Off.
• Yes Jacob! You know this "good guy" facade is bullshït. Call it out, baby! Call it out!
• Eva, honey, you're barking up the wrong tree. Your mentally uneven mother is not going to go for this "in private" plan; if anything, it's going to make her more intent on publicly outing him.
• Nicole called it out: Dani is an addict. And yes, tell her the hard truths, Nicole. She needs to hear this from her "Sissy". She does.
• Hello "Anna". I am betting you each wig has its own name, and that's where she's going with this.
• Woof. Martin is such a piss-poor excuse of a parent and a spouse; he's a deadbeat. Flatout. A DEADBEAT.
• Dani, you're beating a dead horse. Bill don't want you. At all.
• Good on Naomi for not backing down from the whöre who slept with her daddy. GO NAOMI! GO!
• That slight zoom in on Katherine was a nice, unique touch. And then Ted walking into Uptown, noticing Dana in her "Anna" disguise? Wow.
• Martin... why the fück are you continuing to lie to Bradley? Oh yeah, that's right, you're a DEADBEAT!
• What a cute little roleplay between Dani and Nicole. That was awesome! We need more light-hearted, easy moments like this in daytime. It's the subtle things, y'all!
• Not Samantha and Tyrell showing up in the final moments of our episode today.
• Uh-oh. Dana is about to go head-to-head with Ted outside of Uptown. This could get messy.

This show needs Jacob. I hope they won't take a corny turn, and make him corrupt.

I adore the relationship, Nicole and Dani have. 

[janea4old]

Dani needs a job/career or volunteer project that is something she feels passionate about.  She needs that before dating anyone.

[Antoyne]

Lots of action today. Looooved Naomi vs Hayley. Hayley was so smug today when she realized she wouldn’t be getting her way.

Loved Kat setting up the hidden camera.

Silk Press with the new wig was hilarious.

[Vee]

We all know what this means on soaps: Time for Dani to adopt a streetwise white child and deliver them from poverty!

[Alan]

I need to rewatch to properly digest today's episode because I was distracted with emails. Still, I enjoyed what I saw.

I loved the scenes between Nicole and Dani, especially the roleplay. Nicole and Dani have one of the most believable relationships on the show, up there with Anita/Vernon, Bill/Naomi, and Kat/Chelsea.

All Leslie needed were some red framed glasses and she could have used the alias Sally Jesse Raphel. It's funny how Leslie has turned out to be the reckless one, while Eva is more cautious, but also feeling ambivalent about going through with the plan to wreck the Richardson family. Leslie seems to think that Eva will suddenly be entitled to Ted's assets once she is unmasked as his daughter, but he is under no obligation to support or even acknowledge Eva once the truth is out. If Ted never knew about the baby, there was no child support agreement, and thus nothing owed. There was speculation about a baby switch, but I didn't pick up any subtext that would suggest Kat means anything to Leslie from what I saw today. I'm looking forward to getting a better understanding of the history of Ted/Dana tomorrow!

The police story reminds me of "The Street" in Prime Suspect 5. It has to do with a corrupt police department who allow a crime lord to prosper as long he gives them information on rival crime bosses. It seems like that might be the case with Joey Armstrong. 

[janea4old]

I'm team Naomi.

[DemetriKane]

Yes, I don't want her modeling either, maybe she should find a job at the hospital with Nicole. 

Same. 

[Rmodelboy]

It's looks like they're making good use of Leslie's line to Eva about being in the theater. I can't wait to see what other Aliases we get lol

[Mona Kane Croft]

I like how most of the characters actually have homes.  And nobody is living permanently in a hotel room  The other soaps need to drop that tired trend yesterday!

I also like the sparse use of background music and cues on BTG.  It's refreshing that every scene is not covered with background music with a stinger at the end of each scene.  Often BTG just quietly goes to a commercial, and I sorta' like that.  

BTG is unique in many ways, and certainly has an identity of its own -- just as all soaps had before around 1982.

At least she performed--I guess

In the behind the scenes specials they talked about all these chances the show will have to feature singing, etc--and yet up to this point (and I'm not sure this even counts) we've always started scenes with characters sitting at or by a piano apparently just having finished singing together...
