BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

Ambyr is killing it per usual. The Eva and Leslie confrontation was GOOD.

I gotta admit Ted taking in Eva and promising to do right by her made me cry. 
 

See, he can still be a decent guy

Yeah either Leslie is a demented mother, or Leslie is not the real mother.

[Faulkner]

She’s riveting. And how she transitioned from utter devastation after the confrontation with Leslie to hopeful in the Ted scene—so seamless. She’s easily the most exciting actress I’ve seen in daytime in a looooooooong time. If she’s not the face of this show in a few months, they’re leaving money on the table.

I'm looking forward to seeing the first 18 minutes or so that we missed earlier this episode. But I loved what I saw today:

I thought that what I saw of Bill's/Ted's interaction was realistic and interesting. I know we have hardly seen them interact, but I think that they have nice chemistry together. And Iiked the dialogue that they had about their roles/mistakes in this whole paternity reveal/hurting Nicole. I would like to see them interact more together in the future.

I also enjoyed Dani being there for Nicole and giving her good advice. I did lol when Dani said she wanted to take off her earrings and be left alone with Leslie, Eva, Bill and Ted... I like Nicole as always acting mature and measured and trying to process what has happened to her along with support from her sister. I like that her family supported her and gave her space (including her parents) and then she went to them when she was ready. I enjoyed her scenes with her parents at the end.

Speaking of parents, Leslie continues to act like

this. Her behavior towards Eva is trash and she literally threw the picture of them together at the end in the trash. She really doesn't deserve Eva, and I continue to wonder if she really is her mother. She is just too cold towards her and sees her as a means to an end.

I really wonder if she thought that Ted was going to help Eva. Or if she was hoping that he would turn her away as well. I'm glad he helped her and wants to try and have a relationship with her. It will cause conflict with the rest of the family, but it's the right thing for him to do, IMO.

That touched me.

Yeah, something is not right here. I will continue to have doubts about Leslie being Eva's mother for the time being. Until at least the writing/behavior of her character changes.

She is acting way too cold/uncaring/hateful to be her mother. I know as soap fans, we have seen our share of rough around the edges, bad acting mothers. But even some of the roughest of soap mothers have acted like they love their children. Even if they don't always make the best decisions regarding them. Or are often at odds with them.

Leslie has not shown anything for me to show that she even cares about Eva, even a little. It's all about what Leslie/wants needs and what Eva can do for her. As soon as she felt like Eva no longer served a purpose for her she threw her away.

I am interested in seeing what happens with Leslie going forward. She really doesn't have anyone on her side. Eva at least now has Ted and Tomas to a lesser degree. I think that some others will eventually come to accept Eva in time.

It's possible that Leslie has narcissistic personality disorder

With Eva having Ted on her side now. Leslie will for sure now be jealous of her, lol. This should be fun.

[Chris B]

I feel like Leslie has only begun to reveal her secrets. If she's so willing to throw Eva away, she must have another trump card. She doesn't seem like someone who is going to give up or go away easy.

[DemetriKane]

Hilarious, and I would have paid money to see it.

[Vanguardian53]

Jacob's brother is named "Luke" and their mother is named "Darlene", for the sake of specifics and all.

[DemetriKane]

True. We agree here. She is far from done.

[Bright Eyes]

You guys are going to die when you watch the first scene of today's episode.

[DemetriKane]

What is it? I already know Ambyr was electrifying.
