I haven’t loved them either, but I think drum-beaters against Ashley/Derek are not going to get their wish. Rounding out backstory, deepening the pairing, growth in performers, more direct and indirect ties. A&D are going to become more central and connected #BTG #BeyondTheGates

🤣

Was thinking today how a certain segment of the #BeyondTheGates fandom was probably losing its shit over Leslie getting her friends back. #BTG

Between repetitive dialog and flashbacks and rehashes of this mono-story (Luna), #BoldAndBeautiful is rough going tody.

Today Andre says to Dani “Bill was with me,” she gives a quick look, fade to black, no music. #BTG is so much more subtle and understated about cliffhangers than the other soaps. I like this but it takes getting used to. #BeyondTheGates

Deke’s portrayer has grown RAPIDLY in confort on screen. He is far looser in these scenes with Hope. The actor is a singer, and I enjoy Deke’s buttery voice. #BoldAndBeautiful

They had sex today

So far it's just a connection and friendship. Gabby's having sex with strangers in Spain, remember.

EMMERDALE: Robron-John-Kev, Charity kissed Vanessa, Vinny & Lewis
CORONATION STREET: Swarla + Becky, Theo abusing Todd, Carl-James, Billy & Sean support
HOLLYOAKS: SteRex, HayRay, Clienna, Peri and Clare (wtf??) 2/2 #Soaps #LGBTQ (All missing the "T" atm)

The way LGBTQ is front burner on 5 UK/Aus soaps right now. Unbelievably deep benches
NEIGHBOURS: Nicolette considers having another baby, Varga-Murphys battle Linwells, Colton flirts with Zac
EASTENDERS: Ballum-Johnny triangle, Suki-Eve reconciliation & adoption 1/2 #Soaps #LGBTQ

Yeah, I wondered.

It shows you how much corporate media WANTS fire.

Okay, let's have Greg Vaughan for Smitty. Or Martin. Or both.

It's so interesting, because I've seen so many people say what you're saying. And for me, the side families were ALWAYS more interesting. The Logans and the Spectras on Bold. The non-Newman/non-Abbotts on Y&R (e.g., Fisher-Baldwins), though Victor started as an outsider. #TeamLeslieEva

This pic is making me lmao, because it's kind of fake sitcom-opening laughter. It was probably cold as hell. #Neighbours

So many dirty cops omg. Even Jacob is doing favors for the family.

I don't want Dani or Nicole to have another man. If he's not for Vanessa, I want him to be the guy to call Leslie out and bring her into the circle of love.

What if Greg Vaughan is playing a detective or a businessman and he’s for Vanessa? And old flame. And it drives Joey CRAZY, since there’s also a legal or business confrontation with GV? #BTG #BeyondTheGates

George Alfred Clarke #Strictly fyi

This won’t mean anything to Americans, but this has become a George Alfred Clarke stan account. #Strictly

Well my timeline led me to #Fireworks and holy fuck that was a mistake. 100% quality film, but it's hard not to hate the world. It's on #Tubi en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewor...

Yep.

The twisted sexy dynamic between Andre and Dani is worthy of the Lockridges of Santa Barbara #BeyondTheGates #BTG

Do you think he's a short term villain this time around?

He was Amelia Heinle's best pairing post-Billy Miller on #YR. But he didn't want to sign a contract, so they parted ways pretty quickly.

Y&R's loss...

I really enjoyed yesterday's #BeyondTheGates. On the surface, it was many of the same two-person scenes we see on the other CBS soaps. But the longer scenes, deeper and more theatrical dialogue mean that REAL character and relationship work were done. It all feels elevated.

I feel worse for Wendy because she’s never stopped trying. Andrew really needs to lose it all.

I believe there are already promo pics with Holly and a ClearBlue Easy

Oh, her being PG never crossed my mind! Wouldn’t that be a twist!
