BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

Chelsea is a stalker like her mother. She is annoying me big time.

-- Hayley acted jealous when she walked in on Bill and Ashley. Really? I'm sorry, but they're writing Hayley as ridiculous.

-- I'm not crazy about the way they're writing Bill's stroke and recovery/rehab. Doesn't feel like he went through much at all.

-- So Shanice gets a promotion to physical therapist. Kind of laughable, but I'll take it to get more Shanice -- as long as her original personality remains intact. This is clearly a change from the original bible because the actress has been so good and popular.

-- Chelsea is flat-out embarrassing in her thirst for Madison. In addition, I see no way Dr. Montgomery would be good with going live on Chelsea's IG.

-- Why is Dani acting like she never ate at Orphey Gene's before? Are they serious with this?

-- Good scenes with Anita, Tracy, and Sharon, and I appreciated Tracy's dialogue referring to "us 4 little colored girls." Nice nod to history. Then they wrecked it with another reference to "Articulettes Strong," which makes me cringe.

-- Ever notice the staircase in the Dupree mansion's foyer? I can't get over how narrow those steps look.

My jaw dropped when Vernon showed up at Dani's house. I'm like "oh snap, daddy's home and its about to go down".

No father wants to find out that their daughter is involved with anyone, even if that daughter is grown and a divorced mother.

Another example of the dysfunctional enmeshment that the Duprees labor under.  

Dani freaking out about her father coming to visit as she's in bed with her boy toy totally screamed teenager instead of a grown ass woman that has two adult children.  The whole family needs to be in therapy including Nicole (who probably became a therapist because of the dysfunction within the family).

@ranger1rgConsidering the fact that Chelsea has been controlled by a domineering Dani... I would be more surprised if Chelsea wasn't being extra and/or pushy.  She's spent more time being a model, having every move controlled by Dani, and being on social media as opposed to developing interpersonal relationships with her peers.

Shanice is a physical therapist? YES! This gets her more involved with other characters and since Bill will be her patient, she'll be down to Fairmont at his house and in the middle of the mess!

 

@Antoyne We'll be seeing more of her!

Omg I didn’t even think about that she’d be beyond the gates doing his therapy! How exciting!

I want to see her doing brunch at the country club, flirting with the personal trainers and taking FULL advantage of all the perks while it lasts

I thought today's show was rather dull. I enjoyed yesterday's show much more. The best part of today's show was Shanice!

really! her father has a stroke and all she can think about is getting laid?!

but, while chelsea’s behavior isn’t really all that surprising, madison’s defies belief. the writers went out of their way to reduce her age, since what 30-year old attending neurologist would be gushing like a teenager, and going live on social media with a patient’s daughter?

on another note: i’ve never watched either y&r or b&b, but for the past three days, b&b has been on (long story:)

but three episodes with nothing but characters endlessly rehashing the danger sociopath luna presents to steffy was excruciating! nothing happened, no character development, nothing happening among the characters — just crazy luna, over and over and over. 

have no idea if this is standard for b&b. but, if it is, btg not holding b&b viewers makes sense.

Chelsea already got this lady on live? WTF??!?!

Yes...I was like what the hell is she doing. Finding every moment to talk to her too while she's at work. It was just super desperate.

She should've called Jacob and reported her for stalking!

I'm sorry, I can't contain myself as I am playing catch-up.

It's too much! 

Madison has potential as a character. I enjoy what the actress has shown so far in her limited scenes. But I must say that Madison playing off Chelsea and especially the way she was acting was giving a grown adult talking to a teenager. 

In true TV tradition Dani kept her bra on during sex.

Couldn't we have been treated to Andre in his underwear , rather than trousers on already?

I took Hayley's reaction as teasing. Surely she wouldn't think for a moment Bill was fooling around with Ashley?

I agree that Dupree staircase looks a little basic.Wish for something grander.

And in the living room there was a lamp in front of the door. Huh? Is that a closet? Would you have built in storage in a living room in a house of that size?

Chelsea has millions of followers?

It's definitely the angle at which they're shot, because from this view, you can tell they're much wider than they appear in that photo of the television:

It's an optical illusion.
