They also forgot that it was Ted who told Andre he didn't want to confess to the affair at this point. But today Andre told Ted "I know you want to come clean." Huh? Did a scene get deleted?

I wanted the camera to pan down and we see Mike's little feet dangling.

Same. I've been saying that for a while. The show has definitely done a great job that...if she was not obsessed with Bill...Dani is an awesome businesswoman. Not completely nurturing, but will go to bat for who she manages...which is ripe for organic conflict in and of itself.

Same. Color me shocked. I was looking forward to Bill vs Naomi. Now she is backing out?? SMH.

 

And the Tracy/Alan storyline on Y&R

 

I continue to love everyone is coming around to Brandon. But I love that quite a few of the wooden actors are sloooooowwly getting comfortable enough to give better performances. 

 

I agree. I love that family unit.

All the product placements on  #BTG reminds me of when #DAYS did all the Chinese food scenes
Also,  #BTG needs to give Cady McClain something to do as Pamela Curtis.

It's a Jazmen episode. So of course I was going to like it. 

 

There was so much going on. And I honestly feel like I missed so much both viewing. Especially in the Bill/Naomi scenes. I guess to me...part of it is the watching on my phone vs my tv PS watching live in a little while since it's a 'Not Loading on the System' week for CBS...there were so much layers going on.

 

It was all B stories, but I found there was so much movement and character development going on with each story. Also...the actors were acting. And even got to see Nosy Nurse, too!!! AND outside of the Ashley/Derek/Andre bubble. 

 

There were so many things I liked. I really liked the Martin/Smitty family scenes. For so long in those scenes, Smitty came across the Mother in that group. This was the first time Martin was THAT Mother. And I loved it. And it resonated because if I was to ever have kids, I do feel like that would be how I would be...diva shade and all. LOL!! I also felt those scenes show how good Jazmen's dialogue can be with the younger cast since he himself is young which I love. I love having a teen storyline on a soap. Curious to see where it goes and how it will effect the whole family unit.

 

I don't know what game Vanessa is playing but I do know it's becoming a little more dangerous. That whole scene with her using her own husband to get a rise out of Diego (hey, Diego, hey! lol) I don't feel that was a good idea. And then she made Diego be Doug's trainer for the day. smh. Meanwhile, Doug continue to fall more and more into Joey's talons and trying to work his way out. And good use of Randy to keep Joey's absent presence alive. And good seeing Nosy Nurse.

 

And Bill and Naomi. I've very disappointed that it seems we won't be getting Naomi vs Bill in the courtroom. And now I wonder if the lawsuit storyline is going to up and vanish now. I did like that the scenes gave way to exploring the Bill/Naomi dynamic and getting eve more into their past. Make them inroads, Bill!! And OOPS...not Bill firing Mike. Perhaps this is going to turn into a whole other storyline.

 

And I saved the best for last. I know @kalbir is going to love seeing all the Dani/Andre praise. lol. As a Day 1 Fan, I love their scenes. Just when I think the writers might not go there with the Drunk Dani storyline, we get scenes of her spiraling. In multiple dresses. But I continue to love Andre being there for her and their chemistry. I do wonder if the show casted that 'baddie' Jacob (mmm Jacob) was trying to set Andre up with. A way to walk him away from the Ashley/Derek storyline?

People been saying that for a while, but they really have never been alone in the same scene except for maybe once. So good to have them perfectly side-by-side so people can see what others have pointed out...Jacob and Andre DO look like they could be brothers if not twins. 

 

 

I think I caught what you all were mentioning on yesterday's episode. It's very primetime cut/fade out. And might I say done better than someone else we know *cough*frank*cough* 

 

But yeeah, still trying to find their rhythm. 

The power of Jazmen.

Yeah it's pretty old school. Back when soaps would throw out the new promo for their shows usually by Wednesday. I admit that I like it when I'm binging Y&R and B&B

 

 

Hahahaha!!! stop!!!

 

LMFAO!!!

Some thoughts on the episode for today:

- Andre is too good to be saddled with the entitled and toxic Dani.

- I'm interested in seeing Cady as she molds the character of Pamela, her first original character.  Pamela is nothing like Dixie nor Rosanna today... she reminds me of Olga (the modeling guru that helped Erica Kane with her career on AMC) and the late Carrie Donovan (Link

- I'm team Hayley.  Dani is just so unlikable that I'm glad Bill cheated on her and dumped her.

- Jacob and Naomi have a nice chemistry and rapport with one another.  The thing Naomi refuses to see is that the reason she's such a pragmatic/logical person and is good at her job is because of her father Bill.   It underscores the importance and contributions of fathers to not only their sons, but their daughters.

- Bill was a little scary in his scenes with Mike, but you need those scenes to contrast with the scenes of Bill as a father.  The show is at least recognizing that you need a strong male character that you love to hate.

- Smitty/Martin need a recommendation for a good marriage counselor from Nicole

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
