This is the episode I show people to get them into This is Us! Love the "when have we ever cared about the odds?" And Randall's version. And that dance scene at the end, followed by "I wanna teach"

Probably the most underrated relationship of the entire show was the relationship between Randall and Deja. It was always so true and pure.

My husband & I met via a dating app and in my profile, i wrote that I was a Beth looking for her Randall and in his profile he wrote that he was a Randall looking for his Beth. ❤️❤️❤️ hands down my favorite television couple ever, and Beth was phenomenal in the Little Island Girl episodes.

nice, congratulations. I am also looking for my Randall

Beth is such an aspirational character. She's equal parts self-assured and kind. She has a strong backbone, but she's flexible. She's hilarious but appropriate. I really love her and look up to who she is as a person. It's great to hear how much Susan brought to the character... Beth wouldn't be Beth without what Susan brought to her. Bravo to Susan, the writers, and to the rest of the team that went into creating her!

Season 3 STRESSED ME OUT!!!!!!! I totally connected with Beth and her realization about supressing herself for Randall. I did not breathe until Beth said "I found the door"

@taeb8143 I would likely be making a large move and shift in my life and happiness trajectory right now... except that I know I would lose access to my 7-year-old granddaughter (STEP-granddaughter), and I truly believe that would send her down a very dark road ahead. Unfortunately for her, pretty much everyone else in her life is a DE-stabilizing force. I really feel like an island for her. One day, she will have the ability to contact me and connect with me on her own, but right now, she's powerless. At that point, I will have a renewed shot at a life that I love.

I loved the conversation around hair. As a black women with natural hair, I noticed and loved the changes throughout the show. I also loved the part centered around Deja's hair and how beautifully natural the daughters were.

Susan is very gorgeous, elegant and so authentic. It's been a joy watching this cast back together.

RnB will remain one of the best representation of Black Love & Black Excellence on television. 🖤❤ Susan's performance was sensational. I/we saw ourselves in her - so realistic and relatable. Excited to see what she does next! (Btw, I'm still mad about her role on Will Trent, but I digress. Lol)

As a white woman, I feel like I learned so much important stuff about black culture from watching This Is Us. It helped expose blind spots I didn't know I had (which I guess is what made them blind spots in the first place🤦‍♀️). I'm so grateful to TIU for inspiring me to keep learning about such important topics.

I still remember the argument Beth and Randall had in their bedroom. The writers were really putting them through it. Once the door to that argument opened, they couldn't close it.Those flash fowards really messed with people.The person's not coming later they're just dead. 😂

Beth was my favorite character and R&B were my favorite couple hands-down! I’ll never forget the argument that they had in their bedroom one night. Beth slammed the door, and then she turned around and she said, “this relationship only works because I do the bending”! I fell to my knees and cried like a baby! 😭 I feel like NBC missed an opportunity to put that on the shirt and sell it to all the fans!😉 Sue, Sis you killed it ALL six seasons!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🏆

One of the best couples on the show. Love them.

We love all the characters on This Is Us but if we really have to pick, hands down is Beth!! Susan really brings her to life 🥰so magnetic, little island girl who danced before she walked Gosh like Mandy said, we can listen all day for the BTS stories and just in awe of R&B magic

Beth and Rebecca are my favorite characters from This is Us. They are so complex and amazing. They are, to me, the heart of the show and an inspiration in my day to day life. Thank you Susan

@ajpreclaro1608

Ай бұрын

I feel the exact same way. Everyone talks about Jack and The Big Three but I feel like the depth and life that Mandy and Susan bring to Rebecca and Beth is sometimes unsung. But they are my favourite parts of the show. Nothing gets me more emotional when watching than when they are just so real and honest about what they feel and what they want that really informs their character (ex: Beth’s backstory and her choosing to teach dance, Rebecca opening her heart to let Baby Randall in after losing Kyle or even the speech she gives to the triplets before their birth)

Beth is my absolute favorite character. The Island Girl backstory makes me so emotional every time. Susan is such a deeply connected actress, in every scene no matter who it is with, my goodness.

This will always be one of my favorite shows man I love this! Susan we LOVE you! R&B is one of the greatest couples ever depicted on screen💯!

I ran into Susan one time when I was visiting NY. She was on Central Park and she was kind enough to take a Picture with me ❤ I immediately called my mom to tell her!

I love the Cookie and Lucious reference! I love Beth and Randall so much!

I need Beth to come back and speak about her monologue toast during the FUNeral FOR William one of the most impactful pieces cinema I’ve ever experienced

I love how conscious and culturally aware SKB and SKW are. I LOVE IT!!!! 🖤🖤🖤

Loved Randall and Beth, and their kids, so much on this show. I wished that they could've gotten a spin-off series, because those characters were a treasure on "This is Us."

WAIT, WHHHHAAATTT!!!!! Beth is here!!!! Thank you, guys! What a treat!!!❤

Beth was my favorite character!!! It's so cool to listen to her! Thank you for inviting her!

I loved the episode “ Memphis” I was very close to my dad who died with covid, and I didn’t get to say goodbye to him, and believe it or not that episode really helped me to process it. Thank you!! 🤗

BEEETTHH!! Randall and Beth were couple goals. It's so cool to hear Sue's story about the casting, and then the hair. I recently did a rewatch after listening to this podcast and I ended up finishing it again ha! So this time around, This Is Us made me appreciate my mum and her journey as she ages. Rebecca asking her kids to see her as a person and not her disease made me realise that I was doing that to my mum and what a disservice that is to her. I know you guys get the "This Is Us made us cry" thing a lot but This Is Us was really funny and heartwarming and sure, at times we cried, but that's very much like life and that's why it's such a good show. It's about family, and it's actually a really comforting show (season 5 not included). Also, yeah I hated that Tobey and Kate got divorced but it made sense because they just weren't in the same place anymore and that's why they ended up resenting each other. Sue described is perfectly! Once Tobey healed, they couldn't connect. I connected with Randall's panic attacks and Tobey's depression tbh. And Beth is a woman I look up to. She was so self assured and chill. I loved that about R & B.

The girl who danced before she walked ❤

I am so friggen excited for this one.

Susan's facial expressions throughout the show! So many times she doesn't need to say a word.

I especially love Beth's sense of humour and sensitivity. This episode makes me hope for more actors to come in the podcast. I literally cannot wait to see the others !!!! ❤

That was sooo good! I definitely was one of those people who had an internal dialog with myself, " If Beth and Randall get a divorce, I'm quitting the show." So glad they were able to find the door that didn't sacrifice Beth's happiness. Representation matters!

When Beth…sorry Sue says when people come together and they are broken and the healing begins, it’s goin to cause a separation.” That is what happen with my ex.

Their relationship was epic. Susan and Sterling were beyond brilliant - their chemistry and vibe was off the charts. Also, I 💯 agree that Susan was so underrated and deserves ALL the flowers 💐

I’ve been waiting for SKW!!! Beth was the best!!

R & B for life!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

What's up guys! Me and my wife are currently binge watching the show now. We kill two episodes a night and we're on season 5. Great Show and I wish it lasted more seasons.👍👍

Beth and Randall have truly changed my life. Thank you guys. ❤

Sterling's laugh gets me every time😂😂😂

Been waiting for Susan!!! Loved her character and how the show represented Black Love and Joy! Yes, more of that please! Love you all!

Beth is probably my favourite character on the show.

I loved everyone on the show like they were my own family, but Beth was my good girlfriend (in my head). I wanted to hang with her. I can't wait for Chrissy and Justin and Milo to drop by. This is so much fun! And the kids too. (I'm watching Tess now on Parish.😊)

I listened to it this morning and I was smiling EAR to EAR! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE R&B!

Rewatching since you all are recapping. This show is soooo incredible cathartic and therapeutic no matter what you’re going through in life. Glad you all are doing this and I’m glad to be rewatching 🫶🏼

What a great episode! Beth is my fave female character, and it's all bc of SKW!

Y’all I should not be laughing like this in the middle of a work day 😂😂😂😂😂

I can't wait until Susan comes back on the podcast! I loved this episode and the hair talk was so relatable!!

I love SKW!!! I loved the real and honest communication Beth had for Randall, William, and other family members. I wish you could have been a regular on Will Trent!

Instead of practice, I am guilty of calling it a rehearsal. "Have fun at basket-ball rehearsal!" With my whole chest. LOL

Great episode, thank you! Love to see the chemistry is still all there with all of you. True friendships. Wonderful to see Randall and Beth back together (S&S). You all being authentic made the show the success it was.

Love her! Bring her back please🔥🔥🔥

I can't say it enough: I love this show!

I hope they have the young lady who played " Young Beth" she was a treasure as well. I would love to see her on the show.

I absolutley love love this...I loved/love the series...i loved/love all the characters. Tonights Pod cast was amazing..I too love Susan...and I too looked forward to what she was wearing and how her hair was...BLess you all..(Kaye from New Zealand)

I've been waiting for susan!!!

Great episode! Loved hearing things from Sue’s perspective. I hope to see other cast members on in the future!

This episode and every episode! but seriously, 54:35 is all you need.

Love This couple! They were just perfect! Big fan from Argentina!

Susan!! Oh what a delight ❤️

Thanks to yall for doing these.its awesome to revisit such an incredibly special show.

Please do the "Little Island Girl" part 1 and 2, and invite Susan!!

MY FAVORITE CHARACTER!!!!!

1. the final episode at the new cabin did leave room for assumptions. 2. Beth's hair was absolutely noticable and impressive throughout every season. im glad they showed that. the same with Deja and Tess' hair

God can I just hang with you guys ESPECIALLY Sterling!!! So much energy 😂

There would have been a "black exodus " if R&B broke up. Beth is what every man dreams of marrying. ❤

“Sports player” 😂😂

The best written character of the show is definitely Beth ❤

Randall and Beth were such an important inspiring couple it was so beautiful to see they love and chemistry ❤

I loved Beth and Randal relationship the black couple resonating with the now times modern but full of love. R&B a good example not forced but just a normal couple because they’re plenty of black families like R&B but to be on TV was iconic ❤

I love that Susan was this week's guest. I just started re-watching season 3 and am preparing my heart for the difficult episodes ahead. I LOVE Randall and Beth's love story. It is one for the ages. Question, in several episodes, there are a lot of scenes with Beth drinking, sometimes secretly, sometimes over indulging. It felt like it was a set up for a storyline that never came to fruition. Can you speak to that?

Happy to see Susan on the show. I still haven’t forgiven what the writers of Will Trent did to her character. So this cheered me up.

She is so beautiful 😍 Even her hands are beautiful ❤.

In Italy they tried to remake TIU and called it Noi (Us) and I tried to watch it out of curiosity. I only managed to get through 10 minutes because the chemistry the original cast have was not there and especially the couple that represented R and B. I loved Beth so much that I just couldn't accept another actress playing her that wasn't SKW. Thanks to Susan for this break that made me laugh out loud. The other episodes have been beautiful and insightful, and this was insightful and pure fun. ❤

Beth's my favorite ❤❤

You know, I LOVE Susan as Beth but Tracy Toms as Beth would still be amazing.

South Africa? Yes!! Even Kenya (which is where I'm following you from)
