I don't buy Anita being from Projects for some reason. She gives old money. Like she was birth into it.

The childlike wardrobe isn't making her look younger.  It's having the opposite effect.

Yep and I don't go for bashing looks but her face alone makes her look her age

Hahah and a 16 year old girl shouldn't know what "Didn't you go hard at Uptown last night?  Respect" means... right? I don't have children, but I don't remember talking to my aunt about that stuff nor know what bars they hang out at and what 'go hard' means haha.  Maybe I'm just too old these days.

Interesting, they got baby cakes, Andre, taking shirtless pics because I thought it would've been a better option to have a male cast member as the model.

lol...what did she do to get the old manager fired?

That 16 going on 30... Is giving Orphan the horror movie vibes.

Nobody gonna make me not cringe at that.

I don't mind Uptown being a breakfast spot, too. Gives the space more functinality. I used to frequent a place like that. In the mornings, it was a cafe/brunch place and in the evenings it had live music and alcohol (sometimes even karaoke). However, they need to have the "lights on" in the mornings. Though, I don't know if I want to see what that green on the walls looks like with bright lighting. 

So agree - they need lights on during the daytime, but you're right, the green is so ugly.  I wonder why they chose that color.

They also need to give the country club their china back and pick something more fitting for the setting.

She looks a character from that Pen15 show from a few years ago or that 70's Mexican sitcom El Chavo del Ocho.

I'm committed because I want this to work and yes I know that this is a brand new project and it will have its hiccups. But on that same note, it is a new project but following the same old script. I feel like the storylines needed to be new, fresh, exciting but keep the core elements of soaps like the melodrama, the long looks and pause to a cut, the families, etc. 

I really hopes sweeps turns this around. 

I agree with all of this. I'm committed to BTG, too, and I watch every day -- giving it more of my attention than the other soaps get.

Still, problems exist that need to be fixed, and that includes storyline that's new and fresh and that moves. I love all the parties and get-togethers, but I need plot progression at the same time. I really thought BTG would be much edgier than it is. It hasn't moved soaps into the 21st century. Characters are energized and talking, but not much is HAPPENING.

I worried about and cringed at all the "Wait for sweeps!" comments made in the first 2 months, but said nothing. Sorry, that's old-school thinking. I do not want to wait for sweeps for something big to happen. Give it to me on any unexpected weekday. If you do, you'll have your audience there for sweeps.

I know I shouldn't speak for anyone but myself, but I acknowledge that too many of us expected too much from the jump.

Starting a new soap is an enormous endeavor and challenge, and in many ways BTG has done a great job. Still, we were calling EVERYTHING incredible and magnificent and game-changing and brilliant from episode one. We were handing out Emmys all over the place. Now we're getting back to earth.

I'm comfortable with the criticism of the show which has obviously increased dramatically. It's honest and genuine, and I hope people from the show see it and use it.

I criticize the other soaps all the damn time, many times to the point of abuse LOL. I won't be treating BTG any differently.
