Leslie and yet another wig. She probably picked this one up with a couple of hundred from that 50k Ted dropped off.

Tyrell is going to end up really getting hurt, either by bullies or himself.

Anita's line about things with Martin ending terribly was very much 70s soap. That sort of delivery is uncommon these days.

Martin still annoys me... but yes, the actor has gone from drama school reject... to... bearable.

I think the problem with him is that they are giving him material that a bad actor... or a really really inexperienced one... may struggle with A LOT. If he was given Andre material for example... he would have been waaaaaay more tolerable. It's too big of a bite for him to chew at times. The Martin character is important and has many layers in the writing. That means that the actor needs to be able to execute that...  

Now... imagine giving more dramatic material to Tomas. I start laughing just imagining it. Ronn Moss - beware... your crown may be taken!

Another work around could have been if Martin had been adopted by Ted and Nicole when he was ten years old, for example. That could explain PART of the reason why he's obsessed with making his family proud and doing well. It could also tie into his own decision to adopt.

I need to cosign on this becuase Jazmen's scripts are always good. When I see his name pop up at the beginning of episodes I know I'm in for a treat and this episode was no exception. 

Overall BTG has been a hit imo and has me watching soaps again, something I havent done in years. Sad to hear about Maurice but I'll stay tuned to see how everything plays out.

Can we give Anita a friend or frenemy or rival...like something so that she can interact with others outside of her family. Maybe one of the Articulettes who she had a falling out with can come to town with a secret.

Jazmen written scripts are always a treat, but we also should give credit to the breakdown writer Dunn because the episode flowed quite well.

Leslie/Silk Press Sheila vs Ted was so good and I also noticed that the scenes between them ran a little longer then usual.  So after getting a glimpse of Mr Hyde (Ted's dark side), I'm even more confused why he was replaced since he played up the dark/rough edges flawlessly.   And Leslie/Silk Press Sheila is so well cast!  She was missed!

Laura and Mona came back after a hiatus, but I have a feeling that Laura might not be ready to go back to work quite yet if the last scene is an indication (and girl... where are gloves?)

I'm curious what Martin's secret is.. and the story that Smitty mentioned he's working on I have a feeling will involve Chelsea and maybe shed a bit of light on those two quick scenes where we saw a less timid/more confident Chelsea with the guy and his partner.

I agree with everyone else that Martin should have been Vernon/Anita's son and not grandson.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

I've been down on the show for the last two weeks but today was very good! Finally! LOL I really like seeing Ted's dark side with Leslie because I enjoy his scenes with wife and daughter - it's a nice contrast.   I really hope Leslie didn't kill Laura.  I just don't want to see her cross that line.  I like her as a schemer, but don't want her to be murderer. 

Great breakdown by Chris Dunn and script by JDB.  I had no issues with how the characters acted or how the episode flowed.

    • Rebecca Hollen's (Trish) last episode was #9702 from July 11th, 1985
    • Yeah.  As one of the biggest John and John/Marlena fans here I don't like this exit.  I know the circumstances were difficult and Drake apparently signed off on this.  I think him dying while killing Orpheus was the way to go.  There isn't a scenario I can imagine John not immediately running home to see Marlena before he helps Bo.  It's very difficult to watch his family wait for him and be so excited.   I am positive the aftermath will be great.  I just don't love the exit.
    • Wouldn't the plan have been to pair Denny and Steve for a Steve/Denny/Carrie triangle and try to recreate the Tess/Bill dynamic from their time at Love of Life? Or was it just a short term thing like her role on ATWT? Maybe Toni wasn't interested in contract gigs?
    • Gail was around months before. I think she was added by the Elmans, who introduced Scotty and David Hamillton, Lamont and Katie Corbin and Alan Quartemaine, all characters Marland worked with and developed. The Ellmans were only around for 6 weeks or so but introduced some major characters. Unlike other writers who come in and have mass cast changes, Marland worked with what was there.
    • I am not a big Anna/Duke fan, but that was an awful return.   IB/FH certainly are better together than Anna/Valentin though. I could care less about the tango.  I don't know why some actors are doing multiple performances anyhow lol.  I certainly don't need the Chase variety show hour. IIRC, Jonathon Jackson can sing just as well as JS or Bradford, but I guess Lucky and head nurse Liz aren't cool enough to get an invite.
    • Rebecca Hollen's last airdate seems to fall between July 4th, 1985 and July 15th. Reva tells Trish she's in love with Kyle and leaving HB on July 4th. The Lewises (minus Trish) go to Cross Creek to celebrate Billy's birthday (this year, other years it's in March) to "accept" Kyle as a Lewis the week of the 15th.
    • I've said this before, but I strongly suspect Carlivati would've just... brought Duke back again if he'd stayed at the show long enough. They really fúcked up Duke's return leaving him moribund and pathetic after he returned, whereas Ian Buchanan IRL is anything but. I have no real interest in another return for him but honestly Zombie Duke Round 2, with a little life in him again, could not be worse than most of Anna's dreadful pairings since, and given Tristan and Robert are clearly not an option. But I do think she should have a new, better man.
    • Am I wrong or was Gail (and putting her with Lee) a Marland addition?
    • Brooke Logan agrees with this statement.

    • I loathed Duke and especially loathed Anna being with Duke.   I hated that the tango was one of their things.    I don't care about Chase one way or another.   I would have enjoyed finally Finola dancing as Anna without Duke.  But it wasn't that important to me.
