BTG: April 2025 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

The fact that people are so upset by this is a great thing in my opinion. As a CBS watcher I know at least for March Madness, that is something I'm used to but I haven't cared about those shortened weeks for years. People caring enough to want to see the show means it's building viewer loyalty which is only going to help in the long run.

I agree with you there.

Still, I think it's important to talk truth and reality about these decisions and not make blanket statements about how "stupid" the decision is and how "it doesn't make any sense" and "no one watches soccer at 2 pm."

I just do  not care. Peacock has spoiled me in a way that I love being spoiled. Why? No preemptions, ever, for any show, so DAYS is never preempted. And guess what? I LOVE IT! You can put away your charts & graphs proving that there is an audience for soccer in the middle of the week. Great. Good for them. As for me, I want my soap. And, I don't care who likes soccer. Today I am NOT watching BTG & that is where my point starts & also ends. If you don't mind, bully for you. I do mind. Now this is the end of my rant.

That's me - in a nutshell. But, it's because BTG is so damn good!

I also wondered who was watching soccer during the day, mid-week, or even watching soccer at all. However, I know SOOOO many people that never followed soaps that were downright shocked that a new soap premiered in 2025. Why? Because they didn't know that people still watch TV during the day, mid-week, or still watched soaps at all. Many also didn't realize that soaps streamed, too. So, I feel foolish, but I guess I don't have all the answers with regard to the programming of major TV networks. I'm glad they have people that focus on these things, because that is how we got BTG in the first place.

    • She does look good in blue. I wish they'd do more with her hair, change it up the way JMW does now and then 
    • Hahaha - this is hilarious (and a ton of wigs at use!). The closing shot!!! LOL
    • Yes. I don't know if Lenore was ever asked. Then it became a nun. Thanks. I didn't realize it was in 1987. That timeline doesn't make a lot of sense even if she would have had Ed to interact with. If they didn't ask her back in 1989 and she was willing, what a stupid error. The attempts at these feuds, or even the whole families tied together stuff like Maryanne Carruthers, never had any real impact because of how depleted the Bauers felt even by the mid '80s. And instead of expanding them, which would have been common sense, various producers were just too lazy, or too ashamed, and kept bringing on other families, or bringing in too many people at one time and not knowing how to write for them (the Spauldings in the McTavish era - as SOD said at the time, everyone in the family had the same personality).
    • Wasn't there talk of them bringing back Rita as Gus' mother at one point? Or something?
    • I think they are a part of the same family, although Carla was never really scheming for the same reasons, and once her double life was exposed, she stopped. 
    • Rachel/Ada, Mona/Erica, a mother/daughter at LOVING, these are all examples of the Agnes Nixon "troublesome daughter/put upon mother" trope. Are Carla/Sadie by any chance one of the pairs that make up this trope? Another thing that these 2 shows might have in common. OLTL had a very strong thematic approach to socioeconomic differences between groups of people. Class differences. AW at an earlier point had this too but to be clear it was not as much as OLTL. So that is a similarity but marginal.  Besides that, I see no other comparable things. Paul Rauch was a very different EP at different shows. Oh, I've thought of one more thing. Using actors from the Broadway stage.  But, realistically that was something all of the NY shows had in common. So I don't think it has any uniqueness between AW & OLTL.  
    • When you look at the period between Sweeps, it's as if they tried to maintain a kind of pace where they had a lot of plates spinning in the air & on their fingertips & the whole goal was nothing but to not drop any of those plates. A version of spinning one's wheels. They're not getting anywhere but they give the appearance of a whole lot of activity. I believe it's all about this appearance. At moments they accidentally hit a chord & something resonates but it is a false event.
