BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

I found the ATWT reference to be cleverly done and I enjoyed it. I thought this was another great episode. I'm starting to love Jacob and Naomi as the grounded good guys. June has brought the best out of both of them and both of them have made Derek more bearable.

It's convoluted but the CBS soaps that were still on the air in the 2000s are all in the same universe because of Sheila Carter appearing on Another World as an alias named Shelly Clark who hated some unnamed characters that matched Eric and to Stephanie's description. In the 60s Mike Bauer from Guiding Light crossed over to Another World which linked their universes. Cass also appeared on Guiding Light. Now if the Sheila Carter connection is counted as just parody and not a crossover there is still a connection due to Emily Stewart appearing on Y&R looking for Alison.

-- Maurice Johnson was fine as Ted, but Keith D. Robinson is also good in the role. They're different but both are solid actors. I'm already "over" Johnson being replaced, and I don't think this is worth a lot of discussion over....nor do I think the internet is going to discuss this for much longer.

-- I also had no problem with Ted's blazer.

-- The Derek and Jacob scenes were good. I'm getting more clues that Ashley is the problem in this story. And I'm sorry, Derek isn't the only one who should apologize for what happened.

-- In other news, Ashley is still Basic.

-- I'm still out on the Anita story. Why have Anita and Tracy bonded again? We should have heard at least something of what happened in the past to cause the break up of the group.

    Instead we're told nothing so that we can wonder what "horrible" things happened to the group's 3rd member who has such an Anita problem. If this is just going to be a retelling of Diana Ross getting with Berry Gordy, becoming the star of the Supremes, and then striking out on her own, I don't want to hear it.

     Besides, wasn't Miss Ross THE star of the group? Wasn't she THE money? Berry Gordy was right all along.

     In addition, I'm looking side-eyed at Anita having all these regrets. She doesn't seem to be the type. She's a DUPREE!

I’m actually enjoying Anita having a storyline that doesn’t revolve around her reminding us she’s a Dupree.

Also I don’t see the issue with continuing to discuss a recast that just debuted last week and is entirely different from the previous actor.

Yes, today was a return to form as far as entertaining episodes. I didn't have a standout but enjoyed Mona, cause I didn't believe we would see this much of her for some reason.

Love the thought of Nicole and Naomi being in each other orbits more. 

They have been wonderful, I agree. 

Stop! Lol! I think Teresa is becoming my favorite writer on the show.

There are still complaints about how Amelia Heinle plays Victoria Newman here and there and it's been 20 years since the recast, so a week is nothing when it comes to complaining.

That jacket was embarrassingly small. It's not the actor's fault, but wardrobe for putting it on him. A wealthy doctor would not walk around like that so production really whiffed on that one.

Jibre/Jacob is moving to the top of my list. Such a likeable presence.

Give Jacob/Naomi a home set!

Ted's jacket ...

Stating that Derek/Ashley have been together 2 years kinda undermines the story.

If it had been say 6 months, then problems might be arising-but after 2 years??

The ATWT reference was cute-but of course Dr Nicole only knew about the show through patients-God forbid she ever watched it herself!

Might have been cuter had she said she got hooked through patients and ended up taping it herself and watching it at home to unwind.

    • Happy 40th anniversary, Bo and Hope!

        And it was so great to see them again, and for the two of them to finally have scenes with both Shawn and Ciara, as a family. I especially enjoyed the first scene with Hope at Bo’s bedside and the flashback to their wedding. It was really sweet. Victoria Konefal did a really good job too. It really is a shame that things didn’t work out with her… and that her character was so disregarded by the previous writing team. And yeah, they really didn’t need to have Ciara mention her serial killer though. It was not necessary. I mean, Ron’s gone lol we don’t need to do this anymore. And I don’t know where she was going with those leather pants either. As for John, like I said yesterday, I just don’t know. I’m glad that he’s a part of trying to save Bo’s life, but to have him go out like this… As much as I disliked the whole Orpheus thing, maybe they should’ve continued on with that for John’s exit story. Like I said before, and have John sacrifice his own life to kill Orpheus once and for all. Because the fact that Orpheus is still gonna be alive while John isn’t kinda pisses me off. I can’t help but wonder if this was always planned or if Paula/Jeanne changed the story. But I think this whole thing is gonna be very divisive. Soap Twitter/social media will probably be explosive today. 
    • It was interesting to peruse Twitter and seeing some fans who were very upset Anna didn't get to do a tango with Chase, while others were glad because they felt that was her special dance with Duke. A good reminder of how long-lasting soap fanbases can be, even as the show has tried to move Anna on. How any Duke/Anna fan did manage to stick with the show I don't know, but points for will power, I suppose.
    • It's probably a good thing most of us don't post here often now as the shameful conduct of the "legacy media" enabling the attention seeking and grudge holding of Tapper and Alex Thompson would probably have broken the servers. I avoid CNN as often as I can, so I had no idea that every anchor on CNN, probably even an AI Larry King, was plugging the book 24/7. The wagons truly are circling, as even some journalists who love to pretend they aren't like the rest, like Dave Weigel, have joined in. I am at the point where I have no use for any major reporters or media figures. I find it especially disgusting when I see reporters who talk about losing loved ones supporting this book after the reports you posted. 
    • That wasn't an original song. That song is by ABC and was a huge hit in the 80's. As I was watching I was thinking he just ruined a great tune.

        Looking forward to that. 
    • The Hollands obviously had long term story in place for Lee/Caroline/Bobby etc but when the Pollocks arrived they quickly wrapped it up with the new diagnosis and sent them packing. That could have been it for Lee but I think the Elmans brought Lee/Scotty back in their short stint.  Somebody must have regretted dumping Lee.I'm sure Peter Hansen was happy to get the call to return.
    • You have to stop and think: was Estelle the mother to all five children?  How many Mrs. Kendalls existed? Linda Cook played Aileen Kendall in flashbacks, but, at the time, we thought she was the only prior Mrs. Kendall.  It seemed that Aileen’s name was changed to Estelle when Domini Blythe came on.  But Lloyd (Peter Haskell) is said to be going through a divorce when he’s introduced (and when he’s pursuing Sunny).  To me, Aileen is Estelle, and the mother to all the children. The wife Lloyd is divorcing is inconsequential.  Wendy’s fate is never resolved. 
    • Oh you are probably right. I thought Marland brought him back but that must have been an interim writer. Tex somebody...?
    • Do you have Days Breakdown list for Thurs 22 May 25 please?
    • I just hope it doesn’t become a constant thing. Like with Days, it’s funny the first time, but after the 475th time, it isn’t anymore.
