BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

-- Have to agree that Dani is a mess. I mean, she went to Haley and Bill's house to let them know she wanted nothing to do with them. LMAOOOOOOOO Just stay away and you won't have to hear Haley's lame "I didn't mean to" apologies. Dani is delusional.

-- And how sad can Dani be if she's having constant sex with one of the finest guys in town?

-- Chelsea's date is one lame actor. That was not good, although that final scene gave a pop to the entire episode.

-- Derek showing up with carnations -- CARNATIONS -- made me howl. Cheap ass bouquet from the grocery store.

-- I hope they're done with the Ashley praise for delivering that baby. My God.

-- The writing for Martin is embarrassing.

-- I'm looking side-eyed at the lack of affection/desire between the married gay couple. Yes, things are strained, but we still could have had a hug (or more) from them by now.

Ya'll are missing what the writing is telling us. Martin and Smitty are not in a good place. This isnt about straights vs gays. Their chemistry is off bc they have marital issues and seeing how Martin is, it makes sense. Martin is very controlling and quite selfish and there is a disconnect between them which is affecting their intimacy

Martin comes off as perhaps the only reason his married Smitty...and adopted kids...is because it would give him a good public image. Smitty needs to tell Martin to shut the hell up. Wow...talk about selfish!

I didn't see Chelsea's three-way coming! I wonder where THAT'S going to go!

Ashley and Jacob continue to be snoozeville for me. Ashley is slightly better, but there just isn't anything to the Jacob character. Who is he outside of dating Ashley?

If I was Dani, I'd be walking up in that country club with my hot new young man on my arm!

nvm lol. No, the show is clearly not afraid of LGBT content if Chelsea is getting down with both parties.

P&G never forbade kissing with the gay storylines in the 2000s. The reason these characters are so mild with each other atm is clearly a story thing.

Lesbians are going to be considered safer than male gay characters plus their execution of that was just as clunky as Martin and Smitty's kiss on the cheek. I'm happy they're attempting the story and will give them time. It's better than them not including these characters at all. If six months on things are the same I'll say something then but I give them grace right now considering the obvious constraints they're under.

I'm guess I'm the only one loving that Martin is the antithesis of his namesake lol. 

I also had to laugh at Chelsea going to her potential threesome and kissing the female on the cheek. CBS said yall can go but not to gay ha ha

Him also being plagued by nightmares isn't helping the situation either.

I'm loving the shades of gray on this show.

 

They've got me totally rooting for Eva even though Kat is 100% right!

 

I'm team Haley, but Dani's speech about how she never let her mask slip... ohhh, I'm gonna need to see flashbacks because that's kind of diabolical.

 

And now Bill is repeating history wanting Haley to quit, and yet I hope he's on his way to taking down Dani.

I feel like the point of Dani's visit was to issue the warning that Bill will eventually show his true colors but that could have been done with a random encounter in public that happened before Bill told Hayley he didn't want her working. 

Dani and Hayley's dynamic sort of mirrors Katherine and Jill's on Y&R where Katherine had a friendship with Jill before Jill had an affair with Phillip.

Forbes March wasn't the one getting makeout scenes and kissing, which they did have. So no, I'm not buying P&G vetoing LGBT intimacy almost 20 years later. Your concern is noted.

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
