BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

[Chris B]

I feel like they've already addressed this. From the beginning they let us know something is off about Martin, that he killed someone which is doesn't remember and the he has nightmares. Obviously the Martin we're seeing is a Martin with a lot of issues stemming from that incident. I think once he deals with that we will get a better idea of who Smitty fell in love with and who the family seems to adore.

Kudos to Danielle Paige on a great friday script! I feel like this flowed much better than yesterdays episode and the show is developing a nice rhythm to it. At first I questioned why certain characters were included but I feel like each player makes sense within the world and they're doing a good job of slowly introducing them. I like that it took until Week 2 to really start diving into who Jacob was and of course today we just met Jon Lindstrom's character. We still have yet to really see the Tomas character and he's on contract. It's nice to know we still have people to meet.

Kat vs Eva continues to be a delight and I enjoyed the rooftop scenes with Kat and Chelsea. That relationship is going a long way to humanize Kat and keep her from appearing too judgmental when it comes to Eva.

Silk Press Sheila in her first disguise had me in stiches. You could never make me hate her. I'm sorry Nicole, but this is my girl!

Next week looks even better. I also have to say the lighting has improved tremendously which is so nice to see. I was worried about that ultra-bright light from the promos and the pilot but I'm glad they worked through that. The actors and the sets look much better now.

thank you!  

watching drama requires the suspension if disbelief — even more so for soap fans — but, there are limits. exceed those limits risk insulting their intelligence.  

fans will walk away!

for me, it’s all moving too quickly. these first two weeks have left me exhausted — too much happening too quickly to too many characters we’ve barely met — for more than a few, i still have to check a cheat sheet to figure out their name and who they are  

i’m hoping that things settle down sooner rather than later. but, after the breakneck pace of this week — a three-way!? already? — i’m not holding my breath.

Super pleased with the last two weeks. Out of the remaining soaps I watch, I’ve only really kept up with GH since BTG began. I’ll occasionally try to get caught up on Days or Y&R and I just can’t do it. Even when GH frustrates me with Sonny worship, there’s enough other things and characters I like to keep me interested.

[Contessa Donatella]

I think we're going to be seeing a lot of changes on GH. Various actors have just announced rather drastic changes to the dates of fan events. This leads me to believe they've just gotten new taping schedules. This is all on the wrong thread so I won't belabor any points.

Sorry, but I'm Team Jacob. He was put in an untenable position and I hope the family realizes that next week lol even though the potential conflict between him and Naomi could be interesting. 

It was good to see Jon Lindstrom finally make his debut too. I wonder where he's gonna go from here. 

[Antoyne]

I dunno. There’s a whole police station of cops. I don’t think Jacob had to be the one to arrest his mother in law.

I can barely keep up with this thread. It might break the board 

Andre/Dani have the most off the charts heat generating romantic chemistry that I haven't seen in I don't know how long.

 

[Cheap21]

They're not on contract...lol

[Contessa Donatella]

The live posting is driving   ... I don't know what it's driving but among other things it is fast & furious, almost manic but it sure is fun. 

 

[Antoyne]

I’m obsessed with the wardrobe on this show. Easily best dressed soap for me and before anyone jumps in with calling it hyperbole, this is my opinion.

Lol Cheap

That applies to half of the cast!!!

Jeresa Featherstone is legendary. She was one of the first people to "jump ship" which in her case, not a stretch by any means, was from B&B, and she began from scratch in August. I believe that made her the first person on support staff to get underway. And it shows!!!

 

[Chris B]

I feel like it speaks to his character that he did it. We've seen people arrest family on soaps before but he did it with no empathy for Dani or care for how it would affect his family. Plus we saw his dad telling him to chill so I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped at the chance.

I'm very interested in seeing how Naomi reacts to him next week.

Is Leslie a deranged former patient of Ted's who has fantasized this entire thing? Eva may not even be her biological daughter.
