What to Watch Next Week on BTG
Hayley (Marquita Goings) is pregnant. The latest batch of teasers suggests that this sudden development is an upsetting surprise for the con artist. She recently admitted to hating kids. And now she’s about to have one? Something tells us that even though this might throw her temporarily, in the long run, she will make this situation work to her advantage.
Next week, she turns to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry). She’ll also have a verbal confrontation with Dani (Karla Mosley). Additionally, Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) will grill her for answers. He might wonder what in the world she’s still doing in town. And he’ll want to know about certain rumors. Has word about her condition already leaked?
In other news, Martin (Brandon Claybon) isn’t just fearing for Smitty’s (Mike Manning) future. He’ll be questioning his own, which can only mean he’s unsure about his status as a congressman. Meanwhile, this should be a happy time for Ted (Keith D. Robinson) and Shanice (Ernestine Johnson). They’re planning for their Christmas wedding. Shanice even got Kat (Colby Nixon and Eva (Ambyr Michelle) to call a truce, at least until the big event. So why are they suddenly clashing?
And at the worst possible time, it becomes clear that Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) may not be as unbothered about Ted and Shanice as she’s made it seem. Look for her to search for some gossip on the two. We can already imagine her joy when she hears about Ted and Shanice’s latest bump in the road.
Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) has been worried that she has emasculated her husband for the last couple of years. Well, things with her and Jacob (Jibre Hordges) aren’t about to get any easier. Apparently, they are about to hit a snag in their relationship. Will transparency and communication help repair their marriage?
And in the good news department, Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) and Kat celebrate an important launch. And Anita (Tamara Tunie, who will be a presenter at the upcoming 2026 Daytime Emmys) prepares for an exciting step in her career. She’ll take the opportunity to tell her fellow Articulettes, Tracy (Maria Howell) and Sharon (Bonita Brisker).
