If I see someone hyperfocusing on JUST a white guy in this topic... it will disturb me too. That's the scenario IF it's overly obvious, which I don't think it's happened so far, or maybe I should go back a couple of pages and check if I missed something. And if I see something disturbing or racist, I will report it. Just like how I am disturbed by some words people have used in other topics... that were so vulgar... they should... just be in a different forum, maybe one for fetishes and porn, and not soap operas (I've done my duty to report the really hardcore ones). Since there ARE white characters on the show... it's inevitable that screenshots will be posted. And knowing the vibe here... a lot of them will be shirtless... which is absolutely fine. Glad to see everyone has a healthy libido and normal working eyes! (just joking) At this point, I've gotten used to a lot of things. And also... sadly... my personal observation is that the more someone asks and demands of others to not do something... the more others do it just to spite the one asking. It's just human nature. That's why I just report and try to be as descriptive and exact in my reports. And I'm glad to say... it's working.

I was not talking about Luna crying to other people, that can be perceived as being fake and manipulative, yes. But she cried and was distraught when she was all alone. Many times. We saw that. It's in complete dissonance to the later re-write... which was that she planned everything all along and was scamming her way up. All I'm saying is that EVEN if she was the manipulative b-tch that faked being drugged... to make Zende sleep with her... Even if this was the case (which it wasn't - we saw her all alone distraught) that still doesn't make the man NON-rapist. He chose to sleep with a woman he didn't get a clear consent from, who he didn't check if she was drunk or drugged... he just saw her lying in his bed and proceeded to have penetrative sex with her. I mean... if that's not a rape... then I guess I'm crazy. But yeah, as a rape survivor of something very close to this scenario... (in my case alcohol was used to make me unable to give consent)... I just find it quite disturbing that people are still saying he was not a rapist. He did not get a consent from her. Manipulative bitc-h or not, he did not. He chose to do what he did. That's all I'm going to say and I'm done about this. Not going to beat that dead horse one more time.

I will be able to binge watch it... in like 10 years time, knowing my pace. Which is okay with me. I'm willing to do it. My husband will also be dragged into it, wanting or not. LOL. So... Soap Gods and Goddesses, do something and bring us Restless from Day 1... just like you smiled at us with Bold couple of years ago!

More than some artists have achieved in their entire careers... In just 1 performance.

Some people who lack backbones and dignity... can be nothing other than sycophants and cheerleaders to those in charge or who they perceive is the ones higher in status. These people are worse than rats. I despise them.

I'm sick of bigots.

Absolutely doable. 🥹

All I know is... she is making history... And part of the re-birth of the greatest genre known to mankind - the daytime drama. 🥲

This room looks psychotic. 🤣

Listen... We all watched when Zende raped Luna... YES. Raped. He had sex with her when she was drugged, high, under the influence, say it how you want it. It's not possible to give consent under the influence. That's LAW. And we had multiple scenes before that where she gave him somewhat of a cold shoulder. THEN... Bradley rewrote what we all SAW... months later. Or do you think Luna was fake-playing being raped while crying alone in her room... (before the horrible idiotic rewrite.) We all saw her distraught even when she was just alone. Forgive me, but psycho manipulators don't continue playing the role when nobody is watchin... They don't cry all alone, because they are playing being raped. This is ludicrous. SO... IT was A rape. The re-write doesn't change that fact at all. Tomorrow Bradley may write in that Luna is an AI robot for all we know. But we all saw... what we saw. And the consensus of most members has always been that it was a rape. P.S And even if someone is hypothetically PLAYING being high... to make someone think they are under the influence, that doesn't change the fact that the rapist decided to do it, thinking she is under. Not changing that fact. https://utulsa.edu/student-life/sexual-violence-prevention-education/alcohol-consent/ Yes means yes. Consent is not the absence of a no. It is the presence of a clear, affirmative, expression of interest, desire, and wants. Consent involves all parties, with each person setting their boundaries or sharing their desires. Consent is respectful, mutual decision-making. Drugs and alcohol impact decision-making and blur consent. When drugs and alcohol are involved, clear consent cannot be obtained. An intoxicated person cannot give consent. Consent needs to be clear. Consent is more than not hearing the word “no.” A partner saying nothing is not the same as a partner saying “yes.” Don’t rely on body language, past sexual interactions, or any other nonverbal cues. Never assume you have consent. Always be sure you have consent by asking.

One of the reasons I couldn't continue watching this show... when I tried this year... was the Sonny character and the actor playing it. Unbearable to me. Just not my cup of tea... I've never bothered to share this anywhere, since... who cares in the end. People like what they like and people don't like what they don't like. Even the voice is like hearing nails on chalkboard to me, honestly. I hope nobody gets offended. Just... every time he's in a scene... it's like this depressing vibe comes over and not in a good way.

Social media made all of us... Crazy.

When I'm made to take care of someone I don't like....

+1. I agree 100 percent. My analysis of the situation is pretty identical. This is the way! I wish you and you family prosperity. All of us have to fight and keep our heads up high. They want us to feel defeated, but I won't give them this satisfaction. NEVER.

Sometimes you have to mourn the loss of people who are still living, but not part of your life anymore... and when you're done mourning... you can re-heat some nice yummy lentils soup and have a ball. ❤️

Some days all I can do is... twirl.

Before my gin and tonic kicks in.

Brooke Logan always gives birth to her illegitimate spawns in the Big Bear cabin. That's all I can contribute to this topic... And I think it's a lot. ❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂

can't this loop be like 24 hours 1 hour is not enough for me
