BTG: April 2025 Discussion Thread

I've never heard of "ACE Honors".  Their website says "ACE" is acronym for "Arts, Content Creation, & Entertainment" but I can't find any other information about it.
The website is run by "Carter Unlimited" which is a marketing firm.
They give a phone number on the ACE Awards website.
That phone number also goes to "RICE Awards". RICE is Rising in Community Excellence.
It seems to be a Georgia thing? 

Edit, yes it's an Atlanta thing.  Carter Unlimited is run by this person

I kind of have a history of liking overly precocious kids that some people object to: this guy, on GH both young Robin & young Emma, the kids on THE GOONIES & the kids in STAND BY ME.

I loved Smitty and Martin in this episode. That was a nice date.

Same. I actually see them testing him with Shanice at some point. He needs a woman with an actual personality.

I think that's a great idea. 

IKR! I was confused for a moment, thought I missed an episode.

I think I'm ready for Anita's story to begin. lol. I know random thought.

 

Well he was cute.

But seriously, it could be that we are finally getting material for the actress to sink her teeth into. 

She can diva hair toss anytime. hehe.

I am fascinated by Ambyr Michelle who plays Eva, she checks all the boxes as an actress. 

[Contessa Donatella]

No, anytime Anita comes up, is the right time! We know she has a secret & we know that Sheila Ducks said things coming in April AND this is April!!!!

I think yesterday was another set up day for future story in regards to Ashley and I think this because of a few nuggets mentioned throughout the run of the soap thus far:

1)  Ashley was the nurse attending to Laura in week 1

2) Ashley was falling asleep during a night out with Derek/Naomi/Jacob

3) Eva in episode #2 mentioned that she felt her life was in limbo compared to Ashley's, who seemed to have everything going well with her first day as a nurse.

4) People have been boasting about her being a miracle nurse since the elevator baby situation... even someone as nice as Ashley would let that go to her head.

5) Laura's one blood test result had potassium in it.

6) Ashley was spoken to about her clerical error with dosage of potassium even though she did give the right dosage.

I have a feeling the show is setting it up where Ashley will be accused of causing the issues with Laura.  If that doesn't happen, then the last 30+ episodes have been a waste for Ashley's character and the show is just running in circles with her character.

If this happens , Silk Press Sheila has managed to derail the 'daughters' of both of her Have not friends... and all for Eva.. while poor Eva is probably going to feel guilty and not have proof of her mom's activities.

And I have a feeling Shanice will be remember 'Lulu' and I also think maybe Andre might have filmed 'Lulu' looking up the test results (even though we didn't see him filming during that scene.. it still could have happened).

 

Also, I think Anita's story will get started at the end of April and start to develop during May sweeps while other stories are hitting their peak, etc.

And I noticed the actress playing Chelsea has finally hit her stride acting wise in these last few episodes.  Soap acting is tough and it takes time to get into the groove of acting on a soap.

Well, that happened. And, it was a lot. So, there's a lot to unpack. But, I really don't care about Ashley. I've tried, really I have. And, to me, at least, Ashley is just not cutting it. But, I disagree about Eva. I think she's lived with Dana/Leslie/Anna/Sheila/Shelly/nowLizzie for her whole life & she rightly is suspicious of her mother all the time.

 

[janea4old]

I saw Dr. Flannery pointing out to Ashley that she made a clerical error on someone's chart with the decimal point noted incorrectly, but I didn't see him mention potassium in relation to Ashley's error.  Did I miss something?

[Soaplovers]

That's fine, you don't have to care about Ashley.  

And yes, she lived with Dana her whole life, but I have a feeling this extreme behavior from Dana didn't really start until the death of Dana's husband Alan.

[Contessa Donatella]

When was that? Do we know? I don't think we know anything at all about this Alan.

 

[Soaplovers]

According to the wiki website, it looks as though she and Eva moved back to the area in 2024 after the death of Alan.  I think it was mentioned it had been at least six months or so since his death.
