BTG seems to be the only soap that still has characters mentioning real life relevant celebrities sometimes and not made up ones within their own universe. Sometimes it’s very cringe - like no, in no world would Dani have ever been a legitimate model rival to Naomi Campbell, lol. Stop with that sh!t now!

Other than that, Beyonce has been mentioned a several times - often in Danielle Paige’s scripts. Really just speaking to the icon status she’s solidified and being the last of her generation of popular music to still have both cultural and commercial longevity.

I came to see Naomi vs Hayley... but stayed to see Kat vs Silk Press Sheila.

Naomi vs Hayley:  Both bought up good points, and I like a fiesty Hayley.  Naomi's whole women supporting women line made me roll my eyes since sometimes women need to call out other women.

Kat vs Silk Press Sheila:  I didn't expect this pair up, but I quite enjoyed it.

Smitty vs Martin:  I think Smitty is playing the long game here.. and some people think he should have reacted more forcefully/emotionally... but keeping your emotions in check is a sign of strength.

Speaking of lacking strength... Dani lack strength and any sort of character direction.  

That said, I did like the Nicole/Dani sister moments and I'm going to be curious to see how Nicole will handle whatever is thrown at her during her/Ted's anniversary party.

Lastly... good cliffhanger with Ted and Silk Press Sheila coming face to face.

Loved hearing Nicole... say what I've been thinking. Cutting down to the actual narcissism and desire to win at all costs.

And I want to give props to both ladies - Karla and Daphnee were so natural and believable as sisters today. It was a moment when the show really worked and felt like it's been this way for years. Brava, ladies. Show the rest of daytime how it's done.

And also saying that the kids are his and Smitty's priority.  I mean, that's a joke coming from him.

Hayley was harsher to Naomi, but she's also a joke. I don't think she has anything to back up a word she says or a threat she makes. It's kind of embarrassing.

I hear you on this. I love the real pop culture references, but sometimes it goes too far, as with the Naomi Campbell call-out or calling Anita an EGOT winner. Then we see her trophy shelf and see fake golden statuettes that look nothing like the Oscar or the Emmy or the Grammy.

Agreed. The dialogue today was great all-around. Very real and natural. Sometimes it isn't, so I appreciated this.

 

I'm fine with the limited use of background music (especially compared to GH which uses HEAVY music to do the heavy lifting instead of allowing the actors to do the work.

I'm still not a fan of the scene endings. It feels like an intentional play to be different, and I don't think it works.

As much as I enjoyed the Nicole/Dani sister scenes, I do think Nicole enables Dani's behavior.  And Dani seems incapable of taking responsibility for the choices that she choose to make and until she takes ownership then she'll never evolve/grow.

And Naomi, and to a lesser extent Chelsea, are the women they are today because of their father Bill.  If left to Dani.. both women wouldn't be the individuals they are and proves that a father figure is vitally important to a child's upbringing/development.  Case in point... Hayley.

I have a strong feeling that tomorrow will also not feature Derek/Ashley/Andre... and truthfully.. I haven't missed any of those three characters.

I enjoyed today's show. It had a lot of characters that I enjoy watching. I love Nicole. She is fabulous. I enjoyed her talk with Dani and watching the advice/support she was giving her. She really does want what's best for her "sissy." They are very believable as sisters and I enjoy their bond. Dani really does not want to give up on Bill, I wonder when she may finally be able to move on from him. (Even if they probably will reunite later on).

I don't care for Hayley and her attitude with Naomi. Hayley is wrong in multiple ways and I am interested in seeing how the showdown between her/Bill/Naomi/the firm works out.

Eva is so pretty; she has good chemistry with Ted. (I hope that continues with the recast.) She really does seem a bit conflicted about how her and Leslie should expose the "truth". 

Speaking of Leslie, she is something else lol. Showing up in that new wig, lol, (but it did suit her). She really is taking a risk by running around and pretending to be all of these different characters, with different names and backgrounds. She's putting her whole plan at risk by doing this so openly and introducing herself to more member's of Ted's family. She's fortunate that Nicole didn't see her again with this latest character. I wonder how/when she may expose Ted.

Smitty continues to show a lot of grace with Martin. He keeps letting Martin get away with disrespecting him over and over again. And I agree with those that said that Martin really did sound ridiculous today as well as selfish.  He keeps manipulating Smitty. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he uses whatever trouble Tyrell got into on today's show to try and force Smitty to continue to be a stay at home parent. Smitty needs to break free of that way of living and get his career back.
