I just checked and can confirm this is true! Happy they changed their minds, at least for now. The last episode (S1E200) is still dated Jan 1, 2025 instead of 2026 so you have to scroll to the very bottom to get to it.

I think they got a lot of backlash, especially since they had episode 200 up like close to midnight then got rid of the whole season, people barely had time to watch it.

I'd watch it while you can, cause it probably won't stay up too long

Tamara is knocking this story out the park .

Im excited to see how this clinic story is about to go. Its reminding me when Michael opened up his clinic on Melrose Place lol

Episode #198 & #199 are now on Pluto, for those (like me) who were galivanting around last week & missed them.

Episode #200 should pop-up on Pluto tomorrow.

the CBS dot com site has S1 back up too, but you have to "subscribe" to view. I'll wait for Pluto.

Today's episode was well done. I enjoyed all of it. Vanessa was a little more tolerable today and having Nicole's issues lead to her pushing Joey into the clinic idea is great. It's just another way to mix up some characters.

The Nicole, Mona, Laura scenes were sweet and explained how Mona came to be such a great family friend.

The Martin/Vernon scenes were nice in showing the interaction between grandfather and grandson.

And of course, Tamara Tunie hit it out of the park today. I liked that Tracy was pushing her into the fighter she knew Anita could be and it finally worked.

Glad Shanice is getting to show other aspects of her personality beyond the gossipy nurse we first saw.

But I had to laugh when they said they needed to talk somewhere private and literally took two steps away from the front desk.

They need to work on those hospital scenes to make them more realistic. I also have problems with the PDA between Madison and Chelsea every time they're shown at the hospital. I don't think that's realistic or cute.

Leslie’s naming drives me insane. Why in the world did they feel the need to put it in inverted commas? Leslie is Dana’s second name, not a nickname. Besides there’s literally no reason why anyone should call her Dana these days.

The changes to the characters' names in the credits is ridiculous, period, especially Leslie's name. Why make it all busier?

Count me among those who are NOT happy with Joey joining the opening credits. I am bored by his uninspired character and - sorry to say this - by his cartoonish portrayal. Plus the mob has no place on soaps, as it’s depicted in such a childish manner.

I've been pretty clear about how I feel about Joey. It is cartoonish and cliche. This show wants to have a big bad mobster while also keeping the actor on the show, and it doesn't work for me.

That Golden Corral Casino set doesn't scream power or money, and I HATE that everything he does USES and ABUSES POC in general and Black people in particular. It's maddening.

And yeah, I know that many viewers think Vanessa will take him down and has a plan. The problem is she's not written that way and LB is not playing her that way. She comes off as in love with this lowlife hood who controls all the Black people in town. Will it be another year before we get the "Surprise! It was all Vanessa's plan!" ??? I don't want it.

-- That cleavage today on Vanessa did not work.

-- I understand the goal with Tracey's conversation with Anita, but it made me cringe. Tracey went on and on with the negatives, imploring Anita to face up to how awful everything is. I thought it was a rough way to make the point.

I don't think she necessarily has a plan right now. I do think it will end up being her that finishes him off.

And @Khan since multi-quote is being annoying, I think Ben Gavin is def off-contract.

Eye roll at Vanessa running to tell Joey about Nicole's business. And despite Doug's issues, Joey is totally delusional for saying that he's better than Doug.

That... he is.

MAJOR eyeroll. Not only is she violating her friendship with Nicole, but she's overreacting like crazy. She wasn't this upset over Doug's death and has never shown this emotion over her own kids.

Tamara Tunie (Anita) showed up to work today. Whew. Powerful scenes and powerful performances. I am verklempt. Whew. That was brilliant.

If she does not win an Emmy, it's rigged. I mean, I don't know what competition there is out there. The only other show that I watch is GH and Nancy Lee Grahn would be the only other Lead contender, IMHO.

Agreed. Doug was a flawed but basically decent human being. Joey is a flawed and amoral individual.

I am hoping that the N.A.T.A.S. voters no longer have that bias that they once seemed to have against actors on P&G, especially since P&G is only a "partner" and not actually producing BTG. It would be great to see Tamara Tunie be acknowledged for the work she has put in.

This I don't remember. Do tell.
