[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 429854, member: 19949"] What I like about BTG is that it doesn't drift into absurdity like some other daytime soaps. However, the soap is still quite young and a lot of absurd things can still happen. I also like that people have realized that BTG is no better than other soaps, but BTG knows how to sell itself as the better soap. Chelsea's kidnapping and rescue was pretty poorly acted, but BTG tried to sell everything as original by talking about how hard life is for influencers these days and how quickly they get stalkers. B&B had recently told a similar story (with fake nude photos) and everything there seemed lame. BTG tells its stories as if they were very important, like Martin's secret, which wasn't a bad secret in itself, but not exciting enough to remain a secret for so long. Although the perfect moment to reveal Martin's secret was missed, the timing with the announcement that Leslie is Barbara's daughter was perfect for me. Viewers already knew Leslie in her craziness and wondered how she could stay on the show long-term, and they got an immediate answer. I do wonder how much Anita earned at the Articulettes to set up such a large trust fund that Leslie could easily use to buy and maintain a mansion. It's truly unrealistic that members of Black girl groups earned that much in the 1960s. [/QUOTE]
