BTG: April 2025 Discussion Thread

[ReddFoxx]

Ted admitting the truth to Andre was surprising. I thought the truth would come out to everyone at the same time. Andre said he wouldn't judge Ted but his expressions clearly said otherwise. Martin being sick while Ted was out giving Leslie the red light special makes Ted look worse than Bill.

So what ever happened to the paternity test that Leslie allegedly got last month? They had Leslie call someone ASAP as soon as she got it so I thought she was having it rushed but  no followup and Eva hasnt even asked about it.

-- Shouldn't Chelsea be way too busy with her new business to manage Samantha's modeling career?

-- The casino scenes are bad. I can't defend any of that. I always say "show, don't tell," but in this case, I wish they'd just tell us he went gambling and won or lost.

--I like the decision to have Ted tell Andre about his affair and the pregnancy. Didn't see that coming. Do I think Ted "talked like a man" about the abortion? No. He did say it was Dana's decision. I'm not defending Ted for the affair, but I think Bill was a much worse husband over the years.

-- So Vanessa hung up on a booty call from Diego to it and schmooze with Joey. Uh....what is she doing? I'm sorry, I don't see the excitement over Joey. I'm not seeing some high-powered money mogul.

-- SilkPress stole the show again today. The woman is always one step away from Looney Tunes.

-- This was a good week, but today was just OK for me. I wanted a little more fire at the end.

Are we sure we are not the same person?! I'm only joking, of course, but I'm once again pretty synchronized with your take. I just finished today's episode! 

Overall... this week... the show is 75 percent back in my opinion. After the horrible previous week. We need it to be 100 percent next week! 

And if Ashley is written out and more of her airtime given to Anita. I'll be veeeeery happy.

Just when it seemed like they were turning Vernon and Anita into Tom and Alice from Days of our Lives, they have scenes like those at the end of Thursday's episode! I'd love to see more of that

LOL I think I'm in good company.

I really enjoyed this week's episodes. Obviously, I'm a super big fan of the show and will indulge them to a certain degree. But having said that, they are definitely still settling in and they are having far less growing pains than some of the other soap launches.

I am going sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. Also, Brandon Claybon is finally more comfortable as Martin and I saw more chemistry between him and Mike Manning. Overall, I really like this cast.

 

[Contessa Donatella]

My thought exactly!!!

Not new, same old objections but interesting that Doug may be going to give it up. 

Did NOT see this coming & I think it's weird because Andre is as involved with Nicole as he is with Ted, so conflict for him to now know this secret. 

It's a good flirty thing between Joey & Vanessa, me I like it fine.

 

I didn't like it, Worry. Do NOT want Fatal Attraction. 

Good week, good day but not great day. Yesterday GREAT. 

It is now April & I want Anita's story to get going!!!

Glad we are going to have Pamela again next week. MORE please.

Yeah, I think she's fine for now. However, long-term might become a problem as Gabrielle Carteris wasn't an issue in the 90210 pilot, but by the end of season one... oof. I don't think the actress who is playing Sam is overly showing her age (to me at least), but that can quickly change as few are Bianca Lawson, try as they might.

[Paul Raven]

Maybe the original plan was to have a May sweeps storyline where Dana is exposed and goes out in a blaze of glory leaving Eva to pick up the pieces.

Now with all the positive response, they have to reconsider plans? Just a theory...

I wonder whether there will be adjustments or they'll stick to original projections?

[te.]

I feel like putting Trisha Grant in the opening credits as a contract player means that they at least have a projection for her character for maybe a year or more. I can't see MVJ to have planned such a short arc for a series regular. 

[Paul Raven]

You're probably right.

But I wonder what (if any) adjustments will be made?

[DemetriKane]

It might come into play at the event

I hope.

Right, I kinda always felt Anita was more on the bitchy side; but I worried about Vernon since the promos started airing. 

ICAM! Smitty and Martin have nice chemistry now. I never had issues with the acting though. 

When you put it that way, maybe so.

This! That's her rootable area, it's super real and super relatable. I hope they give her a moment or two where she can verbally talk about it, maybe to her therapist.

Well she battling Nicole for my #1 spot. I adore her as well, Ambyr is a star, she got me writing fanfic again . I am sure the writers are enjoying her as well, she's a secret weapon of a character. 

[Taoboi]

You know what? What if SilkPress Sheila turns out to be one of Anita's old bandmates?

[te.]

She's a generation younger than Anita, lol! 

The Articulettes are supposed to be a 70s/80s group - hence the use of The Emotions "Best of My Love" in the first episode.
