BTG: April 2025 Discussion Thread

Its possible she may have loved him at one point or married him for security.

Mm-hmm. Eva, finding this out:

I loved today's episode!

The flashback really humanized Dana for me, and I wish we had seen more of this a bit earlier. Dana thanking Martin and Vernon for keeping Bigfoot and Atlantis secret was hilarious.

Jan instantly elevated the Ashley and Derek scenes with her presence and I like that we are finally seeing some real conflict between the two of them.

I was hoping that there would be some Supreme-sized drama surrounding the Articulettes's breakup and it was confirmed today. Telma Hopkins and Valarie Pettiford for Sharon and Tracy? I know they have been on Y&R recently but I don't watch. Are they still there?

This scene was everything. Silkpress is out of control.

[DemetriKane]

You're right. It was probably for security.

Anybody remember what year Anita was supposed to have retired? With her being so successful (EGOT), I expected them to have it she missed pivotal moments in her children's lives, and at least one of them has resentment over it. 

[dragonflies]

So true!

Did they ever really say. It had to be late 70s or early 80s, then again she sang that NJS sounding song.

I still think this is such a weak storyline of Ted the cheater. Right after Bill being exactly that. MVJ  ain't inventive I'm sorry to say.

[Chris B]

I'm curious if it'll change with the recast but I don't find Ted and Bill to be similar at all. Bill reminds me more of a JR Ewing type of sleeps around and views his wife more as a prop (at least with Dani) whereas Ted just had an affair that led to a child. I believe that Ted genuinely messed up and loves Nicole which I don't see with Bill and Dani.

 

Valarie is still there but not Telma. If they end up bringing her band mates on, maybe this could be an opportunity to finally get Victoria Rowell on board. I do think her joining would give them another big jolt of publicity which could be nice for the second half of the year.

It would be great if they could get VR. I thought I saw a blurb about her returning to Y&R.

Chelsea is headed for trouble trying to see this woman outside of the arrangement. Her husband is not going to take this well.

The diner scene with Leslie faking being a fan of the Dupree Family was crazy funny. Leslie is definitely getting more insane.

[Taoboi]

It's TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

And look at them starting off the episode with the Have-Nots!! I admit that I was wondering with the Silk Press Sheila/Nicole storyline coming to a head, what will become of them. Seems like SilkPress thought the same.

 

Not Ashley giving sass!! lol.

 

God, I love Chelesa's hair like that. And haha at Martin reconfirming that just because a gay man is in a couple does not immediately mean it is an open one.

 

Aha! Sharon and Tracy! And Anita did not have a good break up from her group. Hmmmmmm

[Vanguardian53]

It doesn't matter. It's an infidelity storyline one immediately after the other. Do something else.

Anita was seen shading Bill in her very first scenes of the Pilot! But how cool would it have been if Anita actually was more conflicted over her feelings about Bill?

What if she was one of his big supporters, or saw something great in him? Maybe she related to him in some way? 

I find it interesting that Anita does not have a strong relationship with either of her Son in-law's considering she does not have a Son of her own. I think MVJ should have played with that element more. 

Another component is Anita the superstar Diva, who owns whatever room she walks in. Why not have one of the Son in-laws be secretly in love with her? 

Seeing Mona sit next to Ted made me wish she was playing his sister.

I figured they hadn't mentioned it. Thanks.

Yeah that worries me.
