BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

That part.

I know the interactions were brief, but I don’t see any friendship rapport or chemistry between McClain and Mosley. Pamela just seems like a quickly created character for Cady to keep her SAG insurance. Meh so far on her. 

I would have much rather she’d be a friend of Anita’s or something.

He's really been riding for his Aunt. I like that

LOL, yep! Looking forward to that day.

FYI the transcript site is up (the site that has recaps and transcripts for US soaps and some primetime) :
https://tvmeg.com/index.php/daytime/beyondmain/

"Updates" is their word for "recaps". 

 

As of the Mon March 3rd episode, I think it's still the same "Fairmont Crest day" as the first episode.  They had breakfast at the club, when Hayley showed up and Dani punched her.
The wedding was the same evening, I believe.

From the Feb. 24 transcript:

Hayley: You realize that’s the last time I’ll ever have to ring that doorbell? Finally getting the keys to our brand new home. I can’t believe I’m going to be living in Fairmont Crest.

<snip>

Hayley: Well, I’m choosing to stay positive. Sure, it’ll take time to be accepted. I’m sure Dani’s poisoning everyone against me. But, I am confident that if I’m patient and persistent, things will work out. They always do. I assume the designer has finished furnishing the house?

Vanessa: All done.

Hayley: Excellent. I can’t wait to take a look around. Thanks so much for your help and your discretion.

<snip>
(phonecall dialogue)

Bill: Hey babe, how’s the house?

Hayley: Uh, above and beyond my wildest dreams, babe.

Bill: Hey, that was the plan, right? Where are you now?

Hayley: I’m at the country club, about to go to the restaurant for a bite. I am famished.

--------------

From that dialogue, I assume Hayley and Bill hired an interior designer to furnish the home.  They just got the keys and are spending their first night as a married couple in their new home -- the first night either of them have slept there.
The couple may have expressed some preferences to the interior designer, but I don't think the home has the couple's personal touches yet.
 The paintings on the walls might be as random as what you see in a hotel suite?  Therefore I speculate that the sets for the rooms in Bill&Hayley's home are supposed to look generic.   If the marriage survives, maybe the home will look more personalized.

 

--editing later:  As was pointed out belowthread: They've had the house for three days, not one.

She's the most impressive member of the younger cast so far!

[All My Shadows]

Same.

Another random thought: I know everyone is mostly Vanessa fans, but she just feels like an Amy Poehler character to me.

[Contessa Donatella]

You say that as if it's a bad thing?

[titan1978]

I like most of the young cast, even the really green ones show promise. But Eva is killing it so far.

The show is fun to watch. We are still in the introduction phase, so I can’t really get too bogged down in details that are just forming. But it is fun, and that’s something I haven’t felt about GH in a long time.

[BetterForgotten]

With so many characters already kissing her ass and enabling her toxic behavior, Dani didn’t need a random BFF to do the same that looks a good 10 years older than her. 

[Contessa Donatella]

This is Suzanne Lanoue's site. She also has a general TV fan group on Facebook. We've been friends since the 90s. But on this site, TV Mega etc., she has recaps going very far back & some are long form, some short & these which are derived from CC. So if CC got it right, nuff said.

@Contessa Donatella That new avatar and signature... with Dani and Anita... are giving me LIFE.

Are you saying the show is still on its first "day," or is this what that site is saying? In the world of Fairmont Crest, the show is on day 3.

Dani and Hayley's confrontation was Day 1. The model photoshoot for Chelsea was Day 2, with Dani and Andre having sex that very night. The wedding was on Day 3, with Dani and Andre having a morning after conversation, Dani confronting Bill before the wedding, and then Dani pulling the gun on Hayley and Bill that very night.

In fact, there were scenes where characters specifically said Hayley and Bill's wedding is on "Friday," so there is no way all this took place in one day.

[Contessa Donatella]

Thank you so much. This is kinda new to me. So hearing this means a lot. 

 

I think that might have been the recapper's comments, not Jane's.

[janea4old]

Okay thanks.  Somehow I thought it was all the same day within the Fairmont Crest universe.
Ah, I totally forgot that Andre spent the night with Dani, (how could I have forgotten LOL ) so of course my theory made no sense.

Okay so then to correct my original post:
Bill and Hayley have had that house for three days, not one.  But still my reasoning works for why their home seems generic -- they haven't lived there and they hired someone to furnish it.
