BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

[Alan]

If it is fully pre-empted on the East Coast will it be fully pre-empted on the West Coast by default?

[John]

Yes most likely given a rerun

[MontyB]

I was going to make the excuse, it's because this Pope is from the US, but the last Pope pre-empted everything too. 

[dragonflies]

Yep that's usually how it works. It's how ABC used to do it with their soaps. If it didn't air more than 30 minutes they considered it a full pre emption and it got pushed back a day 

[Chris B]

It's airing in Canada so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed they just put it on Paramount Plus.

[Alan]

Only getting one new episode of BTG over a six-day period is crazy.

cbs has always been the worst. when dan rather was the anchor, he was always the first one in and the last one out! 

[John]

BTG may be coming on

[Liberty City]

Not once, at least in my area, has Beyond the Gates been interrupted for "news". Nor do I need the history lesson as a decades-long soap watcher. In remembering World Turns versus General Hospital at the 2 p.m. hour, CBS is less likely to interrupt in comparison to ABC. This isn't an interruption of [another] school shooting, the orange monster announcing more things to ruin this country, or weather personnel telling us it is raining outside (when we can see it raining outside); it's the election of a new Pope. That's a major thing, especially for a lot of people who are deep in their faith.

Would I rather my show be on? Yes. But am I going to absolutely lose my damn mind over it? No. I'm not. This is not an everyday occurrence (the election of the Pope). This isn't new, and yet people⏤not just here⏤continue to act as if it is a new thing and that it's the end of the world as they know it. It's not.

It's on

[DemetriKane]

I noticed on Monday that Vernon mentioned someone named Titus, I am assuming he's the driver.

@Soaplovers I threw it out there that perhaps the Hawthorne's needed to be the rival family, I believe it could've helped Naomi/Jacob marriage immensely.

[Alan]

It's on now!

[alwaysAMC]

Ugh - on now for me too, but I don't want to watch since I missed the first 18 minutes. Now I'll just watch tonight on Paramount.

In-laws interacting.
