BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

[ranger1rg]

Dani really got on my nerves. Her own life is a total disaster, yet she interferes with everyone else's. What could she possibly say to Ted that will change anything? That will help anyone?

And as you said, while she bashes Bill, she wants him back -- all the while knowing who he is and who he's been for years. None of these scenes are pushing me to appreciate Dani.

-- OTOH, Bill got some very good shots in at Dani. He won that face-off.

-- June is just a ball of cliches and stereotypes to this point. I hope this goes somewhere.

-- Martin flies off the handle much too easily, but I did appreciate that he grew calm and subdued, and even sad, with Ted.

-- I'm glad Tomas is pretty, because damn, that acting.

-- I'm glad Derek looks so good in tight jeans, because damn, that acting.

-- LMAO at Leslie gaining entrance to Nicole's house because Nicole wanted the front door ajar so Door Dash could leave her takeout.

Yes, I like him too. He is a good actor, and I agree with your comments about his personality. I also want to add, I think that he comes across as realistic and IMO sane. Yeah, he's done some bad things, but he seems pretty in control for the most part and not the least bit crazy. I appreciate that type of behavior in someone who can behave like a villain.

And I continue to buy that he really does love his daughters. Unlike Leslie who seems to only use and mistreat Eva, I have seen Bill soften when it comes to his daughters. And I do believe he would do what he felt he had to do to protect them. His love for his children, helps make him more layered as a character. I really enjoyed his scenes with Dani today.

I enjoyed the show today. I thought that the scenes with Nicole being comforted by both her parents including them switching out to comfort her were sweet and cute. I particularly enjoyed her scenes with Vernon. I love her relationship with her parents.

I also liked Tomas/Eva scenes. He genuinely seems to care about her, and I am interested in seeing how things will play out between them and him and Kat.

I didn’t even think of that OMG

Tomas not even pretty enough to make taking his “acting” palpable. And his two potential love interests are played by these genuinely charismatic actresses

I think Martin’s flying off the handle so much is intentional and plays into the secret. The family seems to know theres some rage issues there.

I'm thinking he's much older than the age he's playing and botoxed the hell out if his face - that's why it doesn't move. Source: I saw him in a 2012 episode of CSI. Not only was he already in his 20s, but his face moved back then.

I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.

I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more.

I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters.

As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.

[janea4old]

interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.

Yes. That's called good writing.

[Taoboi]

Very. They're building up his story again and picking the perfect time to do so. As the SilkPress storyline climaxes and go off in several great directions, they are building up that story to take a turn.
