When Will BTG Air Holiday Episodes?

On Wednesday, December 24, BTG fans will spend Christmas in Fairmont Crest. New Year’s will be celebrated on Tuesday, December 30. This soap is known for the musical talent of its stars, and it won’t be ending the year without bringing one of them center stage. Viewers can look forward to an original song by Clifton Davis. R&B singer Kenny Lattimore will also be making an appearance to serenade the soap’s audience.

It wouldn’t be the holidays on daytime without some kind of romance brewing, but the pair that are about to be thrown together may just surprise you. Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) and Ted (Keith D. Robinson) are going to enter each other’s orbit in a way that’s more than professional. That’s not going to sit well with Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) whose been trying to win Ted to her side. Cuffing season looks like it’s not going to work out in her favor, which could make for a very lonely winter.

Ending The Year With A Crisis

Unfortunately, for the Duprees, ringing in the new year will coincide with a health crisis that will leave them reeling. There’s no indication of whose health will be on the decline, but it’s a scary prospect to face for the family.

Dani (Karla Mosley) has already dealt with her ex-husband Bill’s (Timon Kyle Durett) heart issues and their daughter Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) being kidnapped. Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix—see which BTG star fans hope will be Nicole’s new man) and Ted’s son Martin (Brandon Claybon) dealt with the emotional weight and turmoil over having accidentally killed a man while defending himself and his grandfather Vernon (Clifton Davis).

Throwing a health crisis at the Duprees would be another blow to their ability to get some peace. Especially if it involves one of the pillars of their family, either the commanding matriarch Anita (Tamara Tunie) or Vernon, the Duprees’ rock and patriarch. That’ll certainly be one way to carry fans into the new year.
