As a fan of the genre from as long as I can remember and as someone that has witnessed the cancellations of so many shows since the 80s, I was beyond excited when it was announced a new show was coming. It felt like a tide had been turned. I wasn't sure if I'd like the show or not, but was willing to support it just because and I have to say I love the show. I enjoy it even more than I thought I might. It has become my daily fix that I have lacked since the days of AW (my show!) and then on to OLTL until that was cancelled.
Yes, the show has had its ups and downs and definitely took a while to get its groove going. Considering the production was in Atlanta and many involved had to learn the production of a soap opera, it has now come together. I can't wait to watch the next episode and I haven't said that about a soap in a long time. I also watch Y&R and B&B, but honestly, I could go days without them and not be upset. BTG, though, I want to watch the next ep. I feel it's the most well-rounded and the stories move without too much repetition as the other two. The one thing BTG does that I love is that it feels like a community (especially lately) where the characters flow in and out of each other's orbits like one would in a community. For examples, the free clinic and plasma stories are pulling in characters together that hadn't mixed it up before and it's interesting to me. Then you have the Hayley mess that is pulling in Lynette, Randy, Joey, Mona, Tomas, etc.
I can't wait to watch more and I hope there are many years to come. How crazy will Leslie get? Will Kat and Eva ever have a true catfight? Is Doug truly dead? How about Kenny?
