Agreed! His love for his kids help balance him out. They can still have the smoke for Hayley but Im glad they are starting to soften on him

I think they need to make more of the final scene of the episode. Dani gets out the booze, takes a swig and a quick cut to the credits.

It kinda takes away from the drama. They need to go for a soapier moment. Dani taking the drink and then the camera pans away and we emphasize her loneliness in the empty room-then a lingering close up, fade to credits.

Maybe they are trying to be more up to date but it is a soap after all.

I agree with you, and as you know, I've complained about the scene endings and fadeouts before.

I don't think new/different is always better, and I do think there's no need to fix something that isn't broken. We don't need the hyped melodramatic music to end scenes, but we also don't need a fade that looks like the camera person lost interest.

It's not just American soaps that have "standard" scene ends. So does every primetime drama.

I think things have improved here after a really rocky first few weeks, but they have a way to go.

I wanted to see Naomi and Bill to head to head in court. I guess we won't be seeing the powerpuff paralegals again.

The Bill/Naomi dialogue is fire.   Great scriptwriting for this scene.

“I love you too counselor.” 😭

Wonderful Bill and Naomi scenes.

 

The Martin/Smitty/Tyrell/Samantha scenes really picked up and got intense mid episode. Didn’t expect Tyrell to go into the kids at school calling him a woke charity case for being adopted by a congressman. The actors that play Tyrell and Martin were stronger than usual in those scenes.

The actor playing Tyrell is rapidly getting better every episode. That was a very strong scene. His remarks also implied that the kids were old enough when they were adopted to remember life before Martin and Smitty.

Martin sent his kids to public school so they could feel normal and not set apart? That doesnt even make sense. For that reason, why not send them to private school where they would be around other privleged kids like them? They stand out in the public school system bc of who they are

^ I was confused by that, too

 

I wonder how this Tyrell story will impact Martin’s political ambitions.

• I truly hope Naomi is not stepping back from the lawsuit; Becky, Carrie, and Stefania need her to succeed in winning their case.
• Dani is a drunk-ass mess. At this point, whatever kind of alcohol she's drinking should be a credited principal guest star (and jsyk: I don't really care what kind/brand she's drinking. I just don't drink, so I don't pretend to know).
• I love how much Bradley loves both Samantha and Tyrell, but then deadbeat has to come in and ruin it. Ugh. Can we just off Martin at this point? He does not deserve this family. At all.
• Looks like Vanessa's attention is veering from Diego to Joey at this point. No more closet makeout sessions, I would assume.
• Damn, Naomi just owned Bill in their mini-showdown, and I think Bill ultimately does want to go against her in the courtroom. That's insane.
• Douglas, you're [finally] at work, and you've got Joey's henchman coming to your workplace? No bueno.
• I know I said yesterday if Dani wasn't an alcoholic, this was her on her way to being one... I've now changed my mind: she IS a drunk. A fall-down, messy drunk, dependant on her drink to get her through her day.
• Andre should not be playing babysitter to the drunk, either. At least with Ashley he'd have an actual conversation and relationship.
• Naomi, girl, stop reminiscing... focus on beating Bill Hamilton in the courtroom. Do it.
• Ugh... here comes scuzzball Mike. Degenerate, gross dude. Bill, fire his ass.
• I'm beginning to wonder if Jacob and Naomi have another set in their home or if it's just the bedroom set. Hoping it may be more!
• Good going, Bill. Fire that scuzzball; it was overdue.
• Dani, Andre is not into you. Give it up, sweetheart.

There's another mini-promo for BTG airing at the end of B&B and BTG. started airing Monday April 14.  It's similar to but not the same as the "next week" promo that aired at end of Friday April 11.

(They did this last week, too- new promo airing at end of Monday that's similar to but different from the promo airing at end of prior Friday)
