We need Deanna full-time. She brings an energy the show really needs!

I'm actually excited to see him air!

It's time for Brooke to have a steamy affair with another inappropriate person. I hate how she lets Ridge just dump on her time and time again.

I agree. I actually really liked them together...leaning a bit more Marco. I was so bummed when they killed him off.

I really hope this means we'll start seeing more of Elizabeth. She's waaaaay overdue for a decent story.

Logic rarely happens on B&B. Deke should be working at Logan. I still can't get into Elecktra, Will, and nuRJ. Dylan might have potential though.

Sometimes B&B really feels more like a parody of a soap than a soap...if that makes sense.

TPTB were so stupid to let him go. The best casting they had done in years. They did the same thing with Zach Tinker.

Speaking of Ava...where is Avery supposed to be? I don't even remember. I'm surprised they haven't aged her up yet.

The only reason I can think of Zende being there is that Hope will ultimately poach him for Spencer, too. The guy who plays him is so freaking handsome. I don't know why there could never figure out how to write for him. Yes, and Deke! Why isn't he already working at Logan...at least as an intern or assistant? Duh....the one gay dude should be allowed to design!!! Dylan...girl...don't answer unknown calls. I'm guessing it's Remy.

Michael Roark was the best casting the show had done in a very long time, and they totally squandered it. If he'd been cast as a Dimera and not a Horton, they would have kept him. I don't understand how this show fails to write for Horton legacy characters but can bring a Dimera back from the dead more times than I can count.

I've said it before, but I think a reboot and modern spin of Passions would do well on Peacock.

ITA. Outside of Chad, most of the Dimeras have just turned into cartoon-like characters.

1000%. It was kinda the straw that broke the camel's back for me, and I ended up cancelling Peacock. I just struggled to get through much of the show. Michael Roark was a great actor, cute, and had chemistry with a lot of the other actors. So, of course, they got rid of him. I don't know why this show struggles to write for the Hortons, but we always have TONS of Dimeras running around.

I feel like Y&R has just given up in so many ways. They just repeat the same stories over and over (Victor vs Jack, nonstop talk about corporate takeovers, etc), and they barely bother to write for anyone under 45. I love the vets as much as anyone else, but they can't be the whole show if it's to have a future in 10 years.
