Just an FYI Season 1 of BTG is now gone from Paramount Plus

Well, we suspected. Moreso once the Pluto channel vanished.

So sad.

People were all about Bill/Dani/Andre since the first weeks of the show.. and because the show films/scripts so far ahead.. it took too long to course correct.

People were also bummed TT wasn't given anything to do except those speeches and finally the writers are giving her a story.

Since the early weeks I was awaiting Joey and SPS meeting up and doing battle... didn't realize I'd like SPS/Marcel together so bonus!

There was talk that Ben Gavin wasn't in the credits, yet his social media has him hanging out with the crew so I'm wondering if he's been downgraded to recurring and the show is going to slow fade Derek from the show.

Ashley is being invested in so I'll be interested to see where season 2 takes her.

More course correcting. Nice to see. Bill/Dani/Andre has been too background as of late so I am excited for it to get its focus back. I could have told you about Marcel and SPS. ;P

I saw that talk earlier about Ben and I admit that I am curious. Then again...I've been said that Tomas's actor is on his way out so we will see.

As for Ashley...well...if you aren't in the Spoiler thread, then I won't say a thing. Though the updated headshot is a sign.

If they are keeping Ashley around, then they better figure out a way to improve her character.

I say the same thing about Chelsea. I don't see the point of her character being on screen

With Season 1 off Paramount Plus it would be good to rerun the first season on BET to possibly grab new viewers. Or at least do another week or so of episode like they did last year.

Nuking all of Season 1 mid-week is tacky of Paramount.

Additionally, Kimberly Doebereiner is no longer listed as an executive producer. In her place is Lela Coffey, who, according to her LinkedIn profile, is Vice President of Multicultural Business Acceleration at P&G.

It's just how CBS/Paramount+ do. They only keep one season for their soaps. At one point, The Bold and the Beautiful kept two 'seasons' at once, but not for the past year or two. Which sucks because I was about one or two months from finishing the previous season of The Young and the Restless before the next began.

I usually watch on cbs.com and they took down all but today's S2 episode. I didn't get a chance to watch yesterday yet. Not happy! It's the first ep I haven't been able to watch.

I missed Hayley yesterday so her scenes today seemed so out of left field. I didn't get why she was acting that way...but I guess Bill was supposed to meet her and he went off with Dani instead?

Anita/Bill and Dani/Vernon were dynamite scenes today. I thought the scenes helped to ground Bill and Dani both today and it was welcomed. I like seeing those sides of them.

Tomas has got to go. He was way too wooden with Kat. She may as well been acting with a wall.

I wonder why only two cast members got updated photos in the credits? Seems kinda random.

I wish Colby M got a new shot. I disliked hers the most.

-- Such a stupid, unforced error by Paramount+ to remove all of season one, especially without even a warning. I know viewers who are a month behind and will now never see those episodes. Just ridiculous.

-- Unpopular opinion, but it's been a relief to get less Leslie and Eva this week.

-- I appreciate the recent turn to writing Ted as a more hands-on and better father.

-- Maybe Kat should stop with the selfishness and think about how upset her grandmother will be if she refuses to get tested.

-- Hayley has been beyond unlikable in the past couple episodes.

-- He's still not good, but I have to admit this was Alex Alegria's best episode, period. Tomas was less robotic and more human. That's the best I can do as a compliment, because it might be a one-off.

-- I like seeing new head shots in the open, but I wish I knew why Ashley and Naomi were chosen. If we get more, I'll get it.

-- The ONLY thing I'd like BTG to steal from Y&R is featuring that episode's characters in the open. GH does it, too, but they include so many at such a fast pace that it's meaningless.

-- Good emotional performances from many in the cast all week, but for me, Clifton Davis was the star. I felt that way even before this episode, and his last scene with Karla Mosely sealed it.

It looks like Doebereiner retired from P&G after being with the company for 35 years. She mentions BTG in her farewell post at the link:

35 years at P&G: A career of brand building and creat...

Time to say goodbye! P&G has blessed me with an amazing, ever-changing, always interesting career for 35 years!    Being an equity and creative expert on industry-leading brands, like Tide, Charmin, B

I was annoyed CBS.com didn't have yesterday's show since it was preempted here. You can't expect people to watch on less than 24 hours notice, what the hell. I worry a lot of people who got behind during slow periods won't pick it back up.

FWIW reddit found a workaround where you can see season 1 through a Paramount plus free one week trial via Amazon and you don't need prime. I have not personally tried this so YMMV.

Damn that's rude of them... at least wait until Monday in case people missed yesterday's episode! 😩

I didn't get to watch yesterday's episode, because I only found out about the upload error on here today. I was planning on watching tonight, but then came on here to see it was taken down. I imagine there must be more people who don't watch daily or are further behind. I'm surprised they didn't at least keep this week up longer. Realistically, there should have been some kind of warning for weeks that certain episodes would disappear at a given date.

BTG has not done well in communicating with viewers about planned breaks and now this. Really not a smart move.
