BTG: April 2025 Discussion Thread

[Paul Raven]

But didn't Dani give up modelling when she married Bill,like 20 years ago?

Why would Pamela still be her bestie when their lives went in different directions decades ago?

And Bill insisted Dani give up modelling, right? And she acquiesced?

I agree with all of that. I know the Cady stans are out there, but I'm not down for adding a character and making it up as they go along. CM is clearly an add-on -- and someone we won't see all that often. It comes off like a favor to give her a job.

The excuses like "Hopefully, it'll all get straightened out" are never made for other soaps, and I'm not accepting that here. Pamela will be gone again before anything is straightened out.

Maybe the problem is that I don't know Cady from her ABC soap days. I know her only from Y&R and DAYS, where I thought she was overwrought and over-the-top far too often.

They had a professional relationship when Pamela was her agent but it’s obvious they built and maintained a friendship after that. I don’t think they were besties when Pam was working for her

Not sure that Andre is quite finished with Ashley yet. That aside Andre gave Dani painkillers and that definitely was not good. I just don't see him as this noble, great character that Dani is dragging down.

He still has an infatuation with her but he's not acting on it and has since hung out with Derek and gotten to know them both as a couple. Things may change, but he's actually been shown to respect them now and move past what he felt for her. And did he give Dani painkillers bc I dontt think that was mentioned. I was iffy on what he had her take but it seemed more like something to help with her hangover. It wasnt nefarious like he was trying to harm her

[Marco Dane]

Yes. We have a semi mason dixon country accent.

It is. Dani mentioned it when they woke up yesterday.

[ReddFoxx]

I don't think he was being nefarious, I just think it is a mistake that might come back to haunt him. 

[Cheap21]

Oh I missed that...thanks!

 

Ugh, he's encouraging this BS

[Vanguardian53]

All I can say is that the nitty-gritty needs to be gotten down to come next month. I am simply not fascinated by the majority of these characters right now.

Dani and Andre: Constantly having sex is NOT a storyline. She’s become obnoxious and he's still a big mystery. How about telling us more about his deceased parents and other possible backgrounds.

The Dupree matriarch and patriarch: They are king and queen of the show, but somehow even they are coming up short.

 

Are they dropping plot lines left and right? Bill vs. Naomi is now a no go. Martin is no longer interested in running for president and he's no longer all over Smitty about returning to work. Dropping plot lines already as a brand new show ain't good.

Kat and Eva: I know quite a few people are liking this potential sibling rivalry, but it’s just too ordinary for me, like "been there done that" a million times before.

The bottomline for me is I'd like to see some huge surprises and stepping more outside of the box.

How about focusing less on this silly product placement and focusing more on these characters.

Well, I missed a few things, too. You are so not alone.

I didn't post it because of the persons who bought Febreze. That's not relevant to me.

I posted it because, if you see at the bottom of the image, Febreze replied to the tweet.   Just sayin' that BTG viewers are buying P&G products and P&G is noticing.  Well, maybe it was a generic reply from Febreze that they'd tweet to any consumer.  But still, I hope that P&G is noticing.

I know which is what I was referring to.

April 16:
It was odd that Andre asked Dani if she wanted another painkilller.  He could have said "aspirin" or something.  Perhaps this was intended to be an over-the-counter mild headache remedy for a hangover, such as aspirin or ibuprofen but they avoided using a brand name? Or maybe they intentionally avoided specifying anything medical?

But saying "painkiller" made it sound like a prescription narcotic, which what I thought at first, but then I soon realized that was likely just aspirin or ibuprofen.

But then looking again at the bottle, it looked like it might be a prescription?  And the pills were orange. Does Dani have a hangover remedy in her bedroom, that Andre knows about?  I don't think he brought it with him?  Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
