It's 'mortem' but thank you for putting the show in the ground already, since it's obviously made you uncomfortable from the jump. Talking about the need for more Black romance is one thing but you've been at its throat manifesting its cancellation from the beginning. That's weird to me.

Thank you for the correcting my typo.

I said it deserved to be renewed in April based on its (then) success with women under 50. But continue on with your fan fiction about my posting history.

"I'm glad that people on this board are enjoying it. Not every show is for everyone. My opinion is also clearly the minority view as the show has been remarkably stable in viewers under 50. BTG's renewal will surely be announced shortly, and deservedly so based on its performance.

Yes, your posting history speaks for itself and has not gone unnoticed. With the exception of this smidge of posts you've been on its neck most weeks in the last year, breathlessly spinning against every weekly result. And now you're predicting its swift doom. Again: It's weird.

But I actually don't think it's got anything to do with racism. I think you just don't plain like the presumption of any new soap existing on the network, putting on airs and getting a lot of attention next to your clear preferred favorite. Hey, whatever, we all have favorites; I loved OLTL. And I think BTG is far, far from flawless. But I'm sorry, claiming any show, anywhere, should take a page from The Bold and the Beautiful on diversity or representation is laughable. So maybe dial it back.

Surprised they have not jumped on the "bootlicker" bandwagon someone else has been peddling for over a year.

I'm one of the only people who pointed out how historically well did the show in the beginning. More than a smidge of times. I recently pointed out that the show had its best W25-54 hold since April. I don't apologize for talking about its ratings dip. It was real. And I've repeatedly pointed to the repeats being detrimental to its growth. Way more than I've brought up the creative. Go back and look.

Where did I predict its swift doom? It'll end eventually like all shows do. Be it in December, or with the rest of the CBS soaps, or somewhere in-between.

Nah, I'm giving my thoughts on the performance of the first, and likely the last, network soap launch.

It was supposed to be laughable. You are correct, B&B has a horrible track record of Black representation. Diversity in general. "Even B&B did this!" wasn't meant to applaud B&B for the epic saga of Carter & Daphne Rose (epic was sarcastic BTW). It was a factual statement. Even if their execution is half-assed (it is).

I'll post as I see fit. No one is forcing you to read my posts if you don't find any value in them.

And which other currently-running soap are we preemptively writing the post-mortem for? Just this one? Okay.

Likely? We said that about PSSNS for at least 20 years. Here we are.

And if you're going to obsessively dog the show out week after week in the ratings threads, people are going to draw inference that you're just plain not happy that it exists in proximity to your favorite show and start forming their own conclusions. I'm sure we'll all find a way to cope with these posting patterns together.

Andre & Dani fell in love over the past 11 months and Sean Freeman and Karla Mosley are contract.

Of my last 3 posts on BTG's ratings, 2 solely pointed out a positive. On the week I noted its record bad demo holds, I did note that the week before it had its best hold since April.

In my OP on this topic I specified met. Didn't Dani know Andre since he was young because he was her sister's nephew?
