Same here! I haven't watched a soap regularly since AMC went off the air. Since BTG was brand new, I decided to give it a whirl... and now I'm watching GH and BTG daily. And I'm watching 90s GL. It's so interesting how this reenergized my interest and passion for soaps.

Lovely to hear.

Time flies. Good to see you are still here.

Thankfully Paramount put them back up. That backlash was fierce when they pulled that. It felt like they really found their momentum again around X-mas/NYE so hopefully it's been an enjoyable binge. :)

I really enjoyed this week. It feels like we are headed somewhere for the first time in a while.

Don't want to derail this thread, but I have tried to get into GH as well. It was never my soap but I did have a few periods where I watched. May give it a try.

Hard to believe it's been year!

This show broke my DAYS habit. Being able to easily watch a show on broadcast, that had a budget and good soapy writing justa did the trick.

Totally agree, first thing I thought today when she sat down. She looks good and has confidence.

Always love a good Shanice/Leslie verbal spar.

I agree. Especially after reading one of the Parade article yesterday. I'm super excited.

original release date: Monday, February 2, 2026 | writers: Sara A. Bibel, Skyy Sandifer | director: Michael V. Pomarico

Thoughts:

• Jan is right on Ashley's throat before her coat is even off. Slow your roll, darling. It is not as if you are dropping information about your own new beau.

• Dana, you are in fact trying to win Ted back, and it is not a plan you will win in the end. At all.

• Yes! That is right, Izaiah: stand up for Eva against that spoilt, self-centred bitch! Glad to see more people telling it to Katherine like it should be told to her.

• Tomas is being very observant of how Eva is feeling and how it does relate to Katherine. I like that.

• Chelsea is observant when she wants to be, but her immaturity continues to shine, especially when it comes to being a partner to Madison, whose reason for wanting to join this fellowship is heartfelt.

• That is right, Shanice. Play the sad, tiny violin for someone who cannot help themselves but wants an undeserving pity party.

• My woman? Look, I appreciated both Izaiah and Tomas standing by their respective partners, but it is such a turnoff (for me) to have a woman be referred to as someone "woman" like they are owned.

• So Chelsea is going to go to Copenhagen with Madison? Why do I feel like this might not happen as they plan it to?

Notes:

• I love this soap. Lord knows I do, but today's episode let a problem it has shine bright: consistency. There are episodes where things are so heavy that it feels like we are being overfed, whereas today's episode left me feeling hungry. Putting in a storyline, like either Bill/Dani/Hayley or even parts of Anita's cancer storyline, would have made today's episode feel a bit fuller and more community-like. Again, it was a good episode, but things just could have been improved.

Look at who forgot he was home and missed the first 12 minutes...and this system ain't let me rewind so...IT'S TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And not Kat giving Izaiah the Eva tea. Good to see Izaiah standing up for his woman. While it's true what some of what they are saying.

Awww hell no. Not Eva putting her insecurities on Tomas. Why is she even around Tomas? Oh, yeah...them insecurities.

Uh...Girl...you ARE second rate with your actions.

I'll give it this much...these Izaiah/Kat and Eva/Tomas scenes are pretty good with the layers going on behind the words.

Doing my rewatch, I have been enjoying there being some drama between Chelesa and Madison.

Awww Derek and Shanice.

Ugh...so Eva strikes again.

Awww well at least Madison is asking Chels to come with her.

HEY, TIDE, HEY!!!

Wait a minute, wait a minute!!! Silk Press Sheila just offered Ashley a job at the clinic...the clinic that JOEY is creating. Let me go hmmmm

Yay! She went with yes.

I don't think I'm here for a 'Derek looks for a job' story.

Awww the couples made up. For now.

It was an okay episode. After a month and a half of good momentum, I don't mind a meh one.
