But how do the other soaps currently on the air feel about some healthy competition headed their way?
Soaps.com recently shared a video on their Instagram handle with a variety of interviews from both Young and the Restless (Y&R) and Days of Our Lives (DOOL) stars.
From the sounds of it, everyone within the daytime drama industry is onboard with the new soap.

He also added that he’s excited to see the cast, as there may be some familiar faces he knows.
In addition, as the Y&R is the sister-show of BTG, both airing on CBS, he also teased about possible crossovers! That would be fun, right?
Meanwhile, DOOL’s Stephen Nichols (Steve Johnson) reminds fans in the video that BTG’s Creator, Michele Val Jean, wrote for him at General Hospital (GH) during his stint as Stefan Cassadine.

Y&R’s Jason Thompson (Billy Abbott) chimes in, stating he believes BTG’s debut is ‘fantastic’.

Next in the video, Days’ Colton Little (Andrew Donovan) is excited to see BTG’s amazingly diverse and beautiful cast at work.
He also gives a shout-out to DOOL alum, Mike Manning, who once played Charlie Dale on Days, but now is set to play Bradley “Smitty” Smith on BTG.
Little adds, ‘the more the merrier’ when it comes to daytime drama shows, noting the “more ways soaps can live on – it’s going to be incredible!”
Little’s DOOL co-stars, Martha Madison (Belle Black) and Brandon Beemer (Shawn-Douglas Brady) collectively agree on BTG’s ‘great team’.
Madison acknowledges that the new soap has some of daytime’s biggest producers and writers, and she thinks things will ‘go well’ for them.
Lastly, Y&R’s Zuleyka Silvers (Audra Charles) closes the video by noting that BTG’s debut is ‘great’, stating as CBS has picked up another daytime drama, soaps aren’t going anywhere!
