It really was. Even The Edge of Night always had great holiday episodes.

I was watching GH's episode today and looked at the time clock on the recording and it was 25 minutes in. I was thinking that's it? It was so freaking boring. I just turned it off.

In contrast, BTG episode went so fast. I wanted more.

This may or not be popular, but when Ted and Shanice kissed. I melted.

An hour watching Beyond the Gates always passes by quickly; the other soaps? Cannot relate.

I love them and I was not expecting to! My new favorite couple that took me by surprise

Preach.

If the show only got a one year pick up, I'm hoping they've mapped out the year with two possible outcomes (if they get a season 3 pick up or if they have to resolve all the stories) much better than they did during season 1.

With the advanced film schedule and even more advanced script writing schedule, it does make shifting course more difficult especially if something isn't working out. I think that the producers and writers should be watching the episodes as they're filmed in order to see what is and isn't working and make those adjustments vs waiting until the episodes air and the audience isn't happy.

Had the writers/producers done that, I have a feeling Dani/Andre would have become an actual couple much sooner and the whole Andre/Ashley thing wouldn't have become written as end game like it was during the first 120 or so episodes.

I wonder if we'll get a season 2 preview from MVJ and co to let us know what to expect in the coming weeks of the season 2 plot-wise. I hope it's more than just the Anita story because that's a story I can't watch due to personal circumstances with a family member.

Any idea what's going on @Errol ?

Waiting for confirmation from my sources, but this is what's being reported elsewhere:

100%. And he's a great guy, judging from the interview he did weeks ago.

BTW I wanted to add:

• Karla is doing an extraordinary job. Dani is the role of a lifetime for her. I was not a fan before - in fact I wasn't happy when I heard she was involved in BTG. Well, I was so wrong. I'm a fan now.

• This is going to be unpopular but I find Nicole's style... tacky 😅

He really is! I am so glad he made the transition to Beyond the Gates, and he seems well loved on set, too.

I was never the biggest Karla Mosley fan. Hated the character of Maya on The Bold and the Beautiful, but when she did sub for Mishael Morgan on The Young and the Restless, I did see her differently. But Dani? This is a role she was born to play and I am so glad she didn't stick to her denial of the role.
