BTG: April 2025 Discussion Thread

Lord...all of those hot men getting Tomas befuddled lol.

 

Hmmm at Anita thinking about her old life again. 

 

And I loved the Anita/Dani moment.

[Soaplovers]

I loved the twist that the men were trying to playfully warn Tomas about Kat.. not the other way around

Other then the lack of follow up on the stellar cliffhanger from yesterday, this was a superb episode.   It makes me sad that B & B no longer produces fashion shows at this level anymore when that was one of the highlights of that soap in the 80s/90s/00s.   Maybe this show will help light a fire under that soap and they can eventually produce a fashion show of quality again.

This episode was definitely Chelsea's episode.. and the first episode where it shows how comfortable the actress has gotten playing the character and doing a soap opera.  

Lots of warm family moments with Martin/Smitty and their daughter... plus some great moments between Samantha/Chelsea/Kat.

I'm going to miss the actor playing Ted because he can effortlessly play the charming handsome father and husband, but also play the rougher elements as we saw yesterday.

A delayed thought from yesterdays episode and having seen the Have Not Gossip session at play:  I noticed that Jan and Silk Press Sheila have a good rapport and similar viewpoint about the wealthy country club while Mona seems to be the third wheel in that friend group.  I wonder if that will play out.

Do we know how Dana become friends with Mona/Jan and what she does to support herself?

Not following up the cliffhanger was weird. Laura is going to be OK but I wonder if Ashley will be investigated as nurse on duty?

YASSSSS!!! FASHION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

And that music!!!

 

 

Get it, Samantha!!! And Naomi's reaction was EVERYTHING. 

 

I AM going to want that song though. lol. And will totally rewatch later. 

 

It was so old school though. Taking me back to when I was young and a cousin got with someone. I loved every minute. And then Ted with his 'bye Tomas.' I hollered. And they all looked soooo good. Vernon is wearing that suit. And Ted and Martin in theirs giving strong Father/Son vibes. You know what*fans self*

 

You also know what? You know an episode is strong when you forget about the cliffhanger. And I am one to always get mad about that.

Feb. 26, episode #3, Mona said she'd been working a lot for Nicole. Leslie said "that's why you've been missing from choir practice". Mona replied that she'd be there tonight by 7:00.

I don't know how they originally met, though.  I'm just laughing that Leslie's in the choir.

Mona was originally shown working for Nicole.  Later that same episode (Feb. 26) Mona was at Nicole's office. Nicole acknowledged that Mona had been working extra hours.  Laura offered to stay late and finish up so that Mona could leave now to go to choir practice.  (later that same night, Laura left Nicole's and Leslie ran her off the road).

On the night of Nicole's award ceremony, they said Mona wouldn't be there because she(Mona) was sick, and Eva took on extra work to prepare.  We didn't see Mona again until yesterday (April 7), and there was no mention of Mona ever working for Nicole -- that seemed odd to me. I wondered if I had missed or misunderstood something.

You caught that to eh? I actually wish we could get more moments like that bc he still seems a bit stiff and awkward to me most of the time.

[Cheap21]

Mona is gonna ind out her secret and Dana is gonna be forced to kill her. I can see her showing Nicole some pictures from choir practice and she noticed Dana is the "Sherri Carter" she's been looking for. Mona will later confront Dana about that and well it was nice knowing you

[Taoboi]

Very much rewatching later. Really liked and would like it without the internet interference.

 

 

I guess we will see soon enough.

Oooooo I like that.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yabbut today Martin was good, for the first time I might add. But the very best thing was the ganging up on Tomas. Did you see the look on his face? Second best thing was Chelsea singing Dani's prasies. I was so surprised. It was very nice. And showing the purse worked.

[Cheap21]

Im no sure if Id say extra gay but I did notice that he felt alot more pleasant today.

[Tisy-Lish]

Where is Cady McClain?  So much was made of her casting, but she's had only 3 or 4 rather brief appearances, right?   Is she off the show?

[Maxim]

I can't wait to see today's episode! Judging by you guys... it was probably good. 

[Taoboi]

Fashion, hunni, fashion!!! 

That's how you do some good organic comedy!!! And I would say it's almost a running joke that pays off. For weeks, they have been mentioning Kat with Tomas but no one seeing him with her outside of the scene with Vernon, Anita, and Nicole so it pays off that he gets to meet the whoooole family (and we get a scene with Father Ted and Son Martin finally, too). The actor even looked nervous which was cute. 

[Liberty City]

She's still on the show; she's recurring so she only films when they call for her to.

[Tisy-Lish]

But isn't she supposed to be Dani's best friend?  Yet, she is seldom around.   I hope she gets back to taping soon.  Best friends need more than four scenes together in almost two-months.  Cady get back to Atlanta and tape some more episodes, please...
