Winterfest has come and gone, and now so has Christmas, and the new year is almost upon us. In Mondays episode, Anita (Tamara Tunie) and Vernon (Clifton Davis) struggle to accept their new normal. The secret Anita carries is now carried by Vernon and The Articulettes, Sharon (Bonita Brisker) and Tracy (Maria Howell), but surely the decision to tell the family can't be far away.

Scandalous proposals

In Mondays episode, Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) courts Joey (Jon Lindstrom) with a scandalous offer. The queen of scanadlaosu deeds pays Fairmont Crest's shadiest and most charismatic character, Joey, a visit at his casino. To what end? Leslie has a business proposal for the mobster that she says he will want to hear. These two in cahoots can only spell trouble, but for whom?

One man, two women

This one will be a mystery until it airs, in Monday's episode, Dani (Karla Mosley) and Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) compete over the same man. Andre? (Sean Freeman) Vernon? Joey? Martin? (Brandon Claybon) The list is as long as this article, but seeing these two powerhouse women compete over anything is going to be a treat. Neither are accustomed to losing and will give it their all.

Young hearts

In Mondays episode, Eva (Ambyr Michelle) pulls back where Izaiah (David Lami Friebe) is concerned. Are they moving too fast for Eva? Or has Tomas re-entered the scene? One can hope that Tomas stays in his lane. This relationship remains a mystery, as fans are divided over whether they love them together or hate it. But one thing is for sure, soap fans, if Leslie is involved, it’s going to be soapy drama here on BTG.

Preemption for Wednesday

Next week, we have a preemption on Wednesday for the SunBowl The Sun Bowl is one of college football's oldest traditions, a post-season bowl game held annually in El Paso, Texas, at the Sun Bowl stadium (home to UTEP), featuring teams from the ACC and Pac-12 conferences (or Big Ten recently) in a nationally televised event, currently known as the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, known for its history and unique desert setting. In addition to the above mentions of Ted and Shanice, spoilers for next week show the pair having their first kiss at a New Year's party. Cannot. Wait. This is my favorite pairing so far on BTG, bring it on!
