BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

Thank you for saying this! If I ever get rich upgraded security is gonna be one of the first things I will get.

[Liberty City]

Well:

• We have seen security systems at Bill and Hayley's home, so clearly, it isn't everyone.
• They're in a gated community, so I am sure some kind of security (a.k.a., George) exists and montiors the properties.

This is a guess, but Kat is going to mess around and help get Leslie off on a technicality. She is too determined to go around the law.

Sharon is so entertaining. The way she acted like Anita was about to trip her down or something at the end was hilarious. The silence from Tracy and Sharon when Anita called them out for not backing Barbara out was telling. They can't defend themselves because they were just as hungry for success as Anita was.

[BetterForgotten]

Yeah, Leslie doesn’t care that people think or know that she’s guilty. She knows she can get off in some way and will revel in throwing it in those hypocritical Dupree faces.

Leslie's campiness has become irritating to me, not mesmerizing anymore.  It's getting repetitive, constantly plotting and flirting.  She's become a cartoon, sadly, and the actress is worth more than that.

I want to fastforward through her, but now I watch to see her scene partners react.

[DemetriKane]

Same. I absolutely agree. It's a real shame, too. I had a lot of hope for the Character.

I grew up in a neighborhood behind the gates and it really wasn't uncommon to have your house unlocked. In my neighborhood there was an armed gate before you enter the neighborhood and you have security patrolling 24/7. One thing that was common when I was in high school were for the kids whose parents were real estate agents to use their houses to throw house parties. It was easy because they were always unlocked.

Nicole has 2 assistants but no one else gets any staff (that we see).

Are Dani and Hayley fixing meals and clearing blocked drains? I think they need to establish that they have some assistance.

Vernon and Anita need to have a visible housekeeper.

Give the Duprees some help!

[Liberty City]

Jan was supposed to be a Dupree family housekeeper, which connected Ashley to Naomi... but I'm pretty sure they dropped that storyline.

I agree.  She has become ridiculous, and simply not a believable character.  She needs to tone it down, or get to jail as quickly as possible.  

I completely agree.  A bit of an Upstairs, Downstairs vibe is really all BTG is missing.  

[Soapsuds]

Same

[Antoyne]

I’m still enjoying Leslie personally. It’s actually fascinating to see her so fear less about getting caught. I don’t even think she comprehends how Eva just saved her ass. Also her interactions with Kat and Jacob entertain me. She has great antagonistic chemistry with both of them.

I agree on both accounts. 

I have zero connection or interest in the character now. He comes off as such a wimp to me.

I hate to say it, but same. I gave the recast a chance, but I don't love the change his acting style has brought to the character. 

I agree that Maurice needed to develop his craft, especially with the delivery of the more emotional stuff, but he didn't need to be recast. NuTed feels like a punk and too soft.

-- I agree that they've taken Leslie's camp as far as they can take it. That works only if there's also a real character there, and we're not seeing that. Every scene with her is game-playing.

-- Laura couldn't call IT to have that Notes program straightened out? I get it -- we need to see that Eva is desperately needed, even though she was hired with nothing on her resume that told us she was a tech wiz. But the only person Laura could think of to call was Eva???

-- I would feel more sympathetic to Eva if she didn't continue to cover for her mother, essentially playing both sides. Again, I get it -- we need to see a daughter traumatized by a lifetime of control by her nutjob mother. Still, there's nothing about Leslie that Eva should side with at this point.

-- I had to LOL when Anita said she has to call her agent to call off the reunion concert. Huh??? You mean a concert was planned and scheduled even though we haven't heard these three sing a single damn note together? 

-- Are we supposed to be taking Anita's side in this Anita vs Sharon battle? Because I'm not there. One day Anita is sad, despondent, and regretful, and the next she's firing back at Sharon and Tracy that "You two are as much to blame as I am." 

-- I agree that we need to see the help hired by the wealthy on this show. It's a missed opportunity.

-- I continue to like Keith D Robinson as Ted. I think he has more chemistry with Daphnee Duplaix than Maurice Johnson did.
