Wow, this was some amazing acting and amazing writing. And who came up with the idea that Anita would have memorized the letter? That person deserves an Emmy! I love it when soap operas do very serious storylines. So much in the last 40 years on soaps has been done for laughs or as camp. Its good to see BTG is not afraid to hit the serious notes. We all knew Anita had a secret, but I never expected this kind of tragedy was behind it. -

Finally... the show is giving TT some material to play and I like that Anita isn't coming off as so innocent. Although I do think so far that the story is mirroring the Supremes just a bit too much with Tracy as Mary, Sharon as Florence, Anita as Diana, and Dante (name?) as Berry. Andre... run far away from Dani because she isn't over Bill and you're far too good to settle for being second choice. The fact that I've read comments on other forums stating that Dani just needs the love of a good man makes me think a double standard is at play here. If the shoe was on the other foot, viewers would be telling Dani not to settle for being second best and to find someone who would put her first.... but since the person in that position is a man, that doesn't apply. Misandry at it's best. That said, the twist of Naomi and Hayley both witnessing Bill's latest health flare up and being on the same side was nice. I doubt this will repair their friendship... but it would be nice if the two learned to co-exist on a civil level. The Dani/Hayley scene was not needed and was the writers attempt to prop Dani. MVJ certainly learned about character propping from the Bell soaps. And I guess that Andre/Derek/Ashley is still a thing... or it was at the time this episode was being filmed. From what I understand.. both Derek and Ashley were one of the characters featured in MVJ's story bible and I'd be curious one day to see what the write ups for both characters were in the intial character pitches (we know that Vanessa was originally named Stacy and was supposed to be AA and more level headed.... so I wonder if perhaps Derek and Ashley had a different write up/vision that changed during casting). In the 2nd episode of the series, it was established aht Leslie knew Ashley. She was with Jan and Eva wishing Ashley good luck on her first day nursing.. and all were chummy. -
Yep, another good episode with a powerful and emotional ending! I'm really enjoying learning more about Anita's storyline, as they make small reveals each episode. It's also nice not being spoiled about these reveals! It was nice seeing Leslie interact with Derek/Ashley - keep mixing these characters and building a community, it's great. I had to LOL at Derek and Ashley studying the menu though, these people eat at Orphey Gene's every day, surely they have the menu memorized by now haha. Maybe these girls will finally make Bill figure out his problem. -
There are couple of thoughts I would like to share. I haven't been around for a while, so it's possible that other people have already addressed these matters. 1. The other day, Michael referred to Scout as his children's 2nd cousin. That is not right. Drew and AJ were half-brothers. That means that AJ's son, Michael, and Drew's daughter, Scout, are half 1st cousins. That, in turn, means that Scout is half 1st cousins, once removed to Wiley and Amelia. 2. I wonder if the show will have Monica and Lesley die on the same day, perhaps a few hours apart. That would be an interesting end for their characters. -

I tend to lean into Nigel Campbell's work and lately, Ryan Quan, as well. -
Outside of their headwriters, GH and BTG only credit the breakdown Writer and scriptwriter for each episode. Days credits their whole team daily with their breakdown writer listed after Ryan Quan. Their scriptwriter is the last writer listed. Hope Rena Sofer ain't gone for good -

Thank you, that makes sense. I do pay attention to the list when I watch. I seem to like episodes where Charlotte Gibson is on the list. -

It's no smaller than Beyond the Gates, honestly. Usually comprised of a breakdown writer, a script writer and a script editor; they only credit each episode with who dealt with that episode's work. But they do have a list of nine writers altogether (not counting Korte and Van Etten). -
LOL! He kept saying homina, homina, homina. Like the Three Stooges.
