BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

[DemetriKane]

The actor playing Tomas is at his best opposite Eva. Ambyr will definitely pull the talent out. I still want him recast.

hard to believe that laura’s been in the hospital for what? — three months — and no one — not shanice, not mona — has filled her in about what happened at the anniversary party!

does she not have any idea what leslie’s done.?

[Melroser]

I can't believe the gall of Leslie, but I love it! Makes great TV. 

I hope they move on from this Ashley/Derek story about having difficult adjusting to living together. I get it. It's a thing. However, the way it's being written is boring. It should have been written for comedy getting on each others nerves. Maybe it would have lightened both characters and made them people to root for. 

Okay. What happened to Tomas? He's improved so much this week! He is still a little dry sometimes, but I stick with him for now. I enjoy hearing his backstory and bonding with Eva. 

Then, of course, Eva just rocks everything. 

 

[DemetriKane]

Great casting for Tracy. I already love her.

[Antoyne]

Just certain storylines. It’s definitely worth it to get caught up.

He absolutely still needs to be recast.

• Pack up your crap, Derek. And take that hideous chair with you, but don't throw out the food! We know you have a particular habit of doing that.
• Anita being nervous about Tracey's arrival is cute, and I love that Vernon joined her. I'm just hoping Sharon will join them soon.
• Tomas and Eva keep getting ... teased! I appreciate him filling her in on what happened with Dana and Katherine.
• Dana, what in the world are you working at?! If I saw you with your evil smiles in my hospital room as I woke up, I'd be questioning what nightmare I was existing within.
• I appreciate the continued evolution of Tomas' backstory and where he's come from. It sounds familiar to what I've heard from others, so it's nice that true history can be nodded to.
• Derek, there is no way in Hell Jacob and/or Naomi want your stank-gross behind crashing on their couch.
• Katherine better be careful; she keeps intercepting Dana at all of these places, and if she is not careful, she may become the primary target of her plans.
• Dante Greene? Is he the Barry Gordy Jnr of the story? I appreciate that Tracy has some genuine feelings towards Anita and their past history. But I appreciate that she is at least open-minded to reuniting with Anita on a personal basis; it'll be interesting to see how Sharon reacts when she arrives (I am guessing).
• Not the wig washing. Dana's personalities and wigs must be an ongoing gag. But good on Eva for calling her out about being falsely accused of running Laura off of the road.
• I've said it once, and I will say it again: Katherine should be a detective, because her instincts are sharper than sharp.

Notes:

• Can we stop having the male actors on this show sitting on tables? It's such a pet peeve of mine. Like, chairs exist for your backside to sit on, not tables where we EAT!
• The top they have Tamara Tunie (Anita) in would annoy the frick out of me if that flower kept hitting me in my chin. I'd be pulling that crap off immediately.

LOL!  Yes, very much so. 

Better episode today than yesterday. TMG really is a gift.

[janea4old]

The show is excellent in my opinion.  There are a couple of less-than-stellar actors and a couple of bad storylines, but otherwise it's awesome and I watch many of the episodes twice.  However, episode #55 from May 19 was really bad, which is where you popped into the thread, but it was the *first* really bad episode.  So 54 great episodes out of a total of 55 episodes is pretty good, in my opinion!  I haven't seen today (#56) yet, but I hear it's good.  Will watch in a couple of hours.

Watch and form your own point of view; even in its flaws, this soap is soaping.

[Vee]

No.

[GLATWT88]

Definitely. It's not bad at all, but yesterday was just an anomaly considering we haven't had an episode that bad before. 

[ReddFoxx]

Leslie's outfit is giving evil Foxy Brown/Coffy energy. She's only drawing more attention to herself by going around trying to imply that Eva caused the accident. Also, I feel like Laura was slightly clueless and not acting afraid enough. She has never seen Leslie before so it seems like a more frightened reaction was an order considering a stranger randomly showed up in her room.

[ranger1rg]

It's not all bad, or bad at all. I actually really like BTG and look forward to it every day. Yesterday's show was awful, though. So many things were bad or off that I had to vent LOL

Haven't watched today's show yet, so I hope I can be nice later LOL

[DemetriKane]

I see it. That coat! You're right about her putting a target on her own back though.
