If Dani is looking for a new business venture, she should open up a modelling agency or work as a consultant in that realm

These episodes be truly flying by. I guess that's a good thing.

Why did he just overreact like that? 

Lol! The writers forgot.

They also forgot that it was Ted who told Andre he didn't want to confess to the affair at this point. But today Andre told Ted "I know you want to come clean." Huh? Did a scene get deleted?

Same. I've been saying that for a while. The show has definitely done a great job that...if she was not obsessed with Bill...Dani is an awesome businesswoman. Not completely nurturing, but will go to bat for who she manages...which is ripe for organic conflict in and of itself.

Gotta admit, Naomi dropping out of the case against Bill’s firm feels like a bit of a letdown to me. I was really hoping we’d get a court battle between the two of them, especially with May sweeps coming. 

Sort of like with the Quartermaine crypt thing on GH, what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up in a nice, neat little bow and ended? 

And yes I agree, Brandon Claybon had improved a little. Finally, I’m getting the impression that Martin actually likes his husband 😂

I’m interested in the drama with Tyrell, and also with Samantha’s modeling. Those two situations could lead to a lot of good conflict between Martin and Smitty. 

Same. Color me shocked. I was looking forward to Bill vs Naomi. Now she is backing out?? SMH.

 

And the Tracy/Alan storyline on Y&R. 

 

I continue to love everyone is coming around to Brandon. But I love that quite a few of the wooden actors are sloooooowwly getting comfortable enough to give better performances. 

 

I agree. I love that family unit. 

 

 

All the product placements on  #BTG reminds me of when #DAYS did all the Chinese food scenes
Also,  #BTG needs to give Cady McClain something to do as Pamela Curtis.

I want Andre's jacket but it costs 600 bucks. I wait a while until its on Poshmark lol

From the Domrembel site:  "Pondscum, an original oil pastel painting from the DOMREBEL studio, is adapted to a range of ready-to-wear pieces."

They have a bomber jacket, a short, and shorts

It's a Jazmen episode. So of course I was going to like it. 

 

There was so much going on. And I honestly feel like I missed so much both viewing. Especially in the Bill/Naomi scenes. I guess to me...part of it is the watching on my phone vs my tv PS watching live in a little while since it's a 'Not Loading on the System' week for CBS...there were so much layers going on.

 

It was all B stories, but I found there was so much movement and character development going on with each story. Also...the actors were acting. And even got to see Nosy Nurse, too!!! AND outside of the Ashley/Derek/Andre bubble. 

 

There were so many things I liked. I really liked the Martin/Smitty family scenes. For so long in those scenes, Smitty came across the Mother in that group. This was the first time Martin was THAT Mother. And I loved it. And it resonated because if I was to ever have kids, I do feel like that would be how I would be...diva shade and all. LOL!! I also felt those scenes show how good Jazmen's dialogue can be with the younger cast since he himself is young which I love. I love having a teen storyline on a soap. Curious to see where it goes and how it will effect the whole family unit.

 

I don't know what game Vanessa is playing but I do know it's becoming a little more dangerous. That whole scene with her using her own husband to get a rise out of Diego (hey, Diego, hey! lol) I don't feel that was a good idea. And then she made Diego be Doug's trainer for the day. smh. Meanwhile, Doug continue to fall more and more into Joey's talons and trying to work his way out. And good use of Randy to keep Joey's absent presence alive. And good seeing Nosy Nurse.

 

And Bill and Naomi. I've very disappointed that it seems we won't be getting Naomi vs Bill in the courtroom. And now I wonder if the lawsuit storyline is going to up and vanish now. I did like that the scenes gave way to exploring the Bill/Naomi dynamic and getting eve more into their past. Make them inroads, Bill!! And OOPS...not Bill firing Mike. Perhaps this is going to turn into a whole other storyline.

 

And I saved the best for last. I know @kalbir is going to love seeing all the Dani/Andre praise. lol. As a Day 1 Fan, I love their scenes. Just when I think the writers might not go there with the Drunk Dani storyline, we get scenes of her spiraling. In multiple dresses. But I continue to love Andre being there for her and their chemistry. I do wonder if the show casted that 'baddie' Jacob (mmm Jacob) was trying to set Andre up with. A way to walk him away from the Ashley/Derek storyline?

People been saying that for a while, but they really have never been alone in the same scene except for maybe once. So good to have them perfectly side-by-side so people can see what others have pointed out...Jacob and Andre DO look like they could be brothers if not twins.

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 think I caught what you all were mentioning on yesterday's episode. It's very primetime cut/fade out. And might I say done better than someone else we know *cough*frank*cough* 

 

But yeeah, still trying to find their rhythm.

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

The power of Jazmen.

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)

Yeah it's pretty old school. Back when soaps would throw out the new promo for their shows usually by Wednesday. I admit that I like it when I'm binging Y&R and B&B.

Well… 😍

I guess I have to say it again: the best surprises always sneak up from behind 

LMFAO!!!

 

 

IT'S TIIIIIIME!!!

 

And oooo Mike's going to fight to keep that job.

 

And mmmmmmm Jacob. First time seeing him and Naomi back in bed since Episode 1. 

 

Woooow!!! Not tension between Dani and Andre!!

 

 

Hehe. It's been a minute since we saw the menace of Bill. He plotted Mike's firing down to the letter.

 

Awww. These Dani vs Andre scenes. Resonating.

Mike ain't wrong. That said...KICK HIS A$$, BILL!!!

 

I like the bangs. But those who remember how I felt about Bitchy Bangs ain't shocked.  

 

'Don't bother. She's a waste of time.' LOL.

I know Cady says she's trying to channel Opal to Dani's Erica.. but I'm seeing that she's more like Olga then Opal.  

mmmmmmmmmmm Jacob.

 

'Tide got my back' with Tide in the foreground is taking me out.

Some thoughts on the episode for today:

- Andre is too good to be saddled with the entitled and toxic Dani.

- I'm interested in seeing Cady as she molds the character of Pamela, her first original character.  Pamela is nothing like Dixie nor Rosanna today... she reminds me of Olga (the modeling guru that helped Erica Kane with her career on AMC) and the late Carrie Donovan (Link) 

- I'm team Hayley.  Dani is just so unlikable that I'm glad Bill cheated on her and dumped her.

- Jacob and Naomi have a nice chemistry and rapport with one another.  The thing Naomi refuses to see is that the reason she's such a pragmatic/logical person and is good at her job is because of her father Bill.   It underscores the importance and contributions of fathers to not only their sons, but their daughters.

- Bill was a little scary in his scenes with Mike, but you need those scenes to contrast with the scenes of Bill as a father.  The show is at least recognizing that you need a strong male character that you love to hate.

- Smitty/Martin need a recommendation for a good marriage counselor from Nicole
