BTG: April 2025 Discussion Thread

[Vee]

I actually like the Martin/Dani bond. I think they could play it more because he comes off like the straight (don't!) man to her antics and has kind of a droll, amused reaction to her business while she gets to be kooky but fun with him. It helps that BC has seriously improved.

I'm all for it and have been happy he's been out of Ashley's orbit for a minute.

I'm not bright enough to follow the hidden meaning here, feel free to spell it out.

Hayley letting us all know she's a lady in the street now.

These scenes didn't have the passion and heat as their other love scenes or the fight scene. Yeah they have their booty call hook ups, but I'm sensing that a connection is forming that's going to turn into love.

Exactly what I've been saying all along.

[GLATWT88]

Just giving some sass about your "straight" remark. Although, they have Martin playing straight in every way except the fact he goes to bed with a man. His personality, his role in his marriage, how he goes about those relationship dynamics. Dani needs to take her and the gays to a gay bar one night...or in soap world...Uptown has a drag night. 

[Vee]

I don't see Martin as playing str8 at all tbh. But I do think his intimacy and rapport with Smitty/Mike Manning onscreen has improved by leaps and bounds since the first month or two, when he came off like a cold, robotic controlling spouse.

In boxers at that.

*gasps* Color me shocked.

 

 

[kalbir]

Don't be. Not every romantic scene of theirs can be off the charts heat generating.

I thought it was cute and you might find it cute. So

-- Beating A Dead Horse, Part XIV: Samantha looks 30, and Najah Jackson isn't even trying to play her younger. I don't know what the hell casting was doing.

-- Wasn't Chelsea supposed to move away from modeling? Then why is she spending so much time working on Samantha's modeling career? It makes no sense. Besides, Samantha doesn't even have that model look.

-- A partnership at the law firm is mentioned for Tomas. In what world is Tomas partner material?

-- Silk Press was good again today. I enjoy how she appears and disappears at the most convenient moments LOL

-- I hope Dani sticks to her guns and says no to working for Chelsea. I don't know in what world Chelsea would want her around anyway.

-- When anyone here says Dani should be written out, I have a hard time with everything else that person says.

-- If Anita returns to the spotlight, I hope they keep it realistic and not pretend she's going to fill stadiums and huge arenas. Keep it small and simple, like with classy lounges and clubs. Don't pretend she's going to be some huge hit on Spotify. I mention this because I think that "going too big" mistake was made in talking about Martin's run for president.

I don't think Martin was ever seriously going to be depicted running for POTUS, so I don't think it's an issue.

I do love the hilarious Tide plugs. All that's needed next is for the Tide to literally spoon in between Dani and Andre post-coital. "I don't play games, Dre. Not on the runway, not in business and not with these fine linens. I'm about that Oxi Boost."

[Taoboi]

I swear if they do that re: oxi boosts, I will holler and scare my neighbors.

God I love Trisha Mann-Grant. Can I just say this... without any freaking reason? Well no... actually - there's a huge reason - she's soooo good. SOOOO GOOD. Any episode she's in... I'm wide awake... no missing a beat. I swear if these Emmys don't be careful in nominating her in the future... I'm gonna put on my Sherry wig and do something about it. 

[Taoboi]

LMAO Not the Sherry wig!!!
