Right?

The whole episode fell flat for me. That Black girl fight didn't look like any Black girl fight I've ever seen, and honestly, I'm tired of DAYS' constant move to a slap during so many arguments. The Leo Lady Whistleblower stuff is painful.

Wait until you see the body on Nicholas Chavez. WOOF! The boy is all grown up and more! What a body.

I don't think it does. All it did was remind me of this.

Fully agree. Brooke had fire chem with that waiter, an d watching her salivate in front of Ridge was so pathetic. For me, the Braylor friendship not only doesn't hit the same, it's completely absurd. Both women have apparently had lobotomies to have a friendship like this. Seeing them longingly look at each other like there's some deep, cosmic connection is just LAUGHABLE.

30% of the DAYS scenes are of the "How can you possibly be alive?" variety.

SO many good comments here that I lost count. G ad to know I’m not the only one who thinks Wendy is bland and boring. There’s nothing special about her acting at all, and I don’t see chemistry with Johnny or Tripp.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Dex’s dancing was just fine, and so was Josh Kelly’s. Both guys are hot. I think they pay a price here because their characters aren’t well liked. Yuri was fine, but I hardly think he gets to be called a real man — as opposed to the others — just because he’s hairy and not shaved. If that’s your preference, cool, but that does make him a “real man.” Yuri didn’t move any better than Dex or Cody, either, but no one’s commenting on his dancing. Is that because a “real man” isn’t judged for his moves?

I think a mention is due to Josh Kelly (Cody) who lost weight and got into great shape for the Nurses Ball strip show.

I tried to be kind while watching this first day of the Nurses' Ball...but damn...that was so much cringe. The choreography is just so awkward and stilted. It's like a middle school show that had too little rehearsal. These performances with a dozen+ on stage are just so bad, and yes, I realize they're not supposed to be professional entertainers. Part of the problem is production, because nothing about the lighting or direction tells us we're watching something special -- which I thought we'd get for the 60th. Yes, they paid for bodies on the screen, but otherwise it all looks cheap. If they can't do it right, whether it's budget or time or whatever, don't do it at all.

That's exactly my complaint about the pacing. I wasn't talking about a soap taking its time to play the beats, but about contract guarantees/appearances getting in the way of telling a story that doesn't get hot and then disappear for 2 weeks.

I really thought the "Peacock episodes" would be better than this. I'm not seeing the "changes" or "improvements" that other people are. The lighting and sets are better? Uh....ok....if you say so. The writing is more streamer than network? Uh.... ok...if you say so. Meanwhile, the pacing is NO different. Characters get strong story for a week and then disappear in the middle of that strong story. And Bo and Hope? Sorry, but in my opinion Ron botched their return, which should have been epic and magical.

Why shouldn't Deacon get off scot-free when no one else on this show ever pays for their crimes? I'd put money on it. I can't think of ANY good reason to to call it anything BUT a rewrite. It's not just a left turn, but a HARD left turn. I've seen rewrites on soaps over the years, but never one THIS bad, THIS jaw-droppingly awful. It's great for hate-watching, but it also makes me despise Brad Bell for treating the audience with such disrespect. It's not just you. They've taken the decades-old "pregnant pause" on soaps and brought it back. It's an anachronism, and it doesn't work, instead making production look incompetent.

Yep, the red carpet was awful. Chandra Wilson is good on Grey's, but she is the wrong choice for this red carpet interview stuff -- way too laid back and reverential. They needed someone who was ALIVE and fun and irreverent, asking questions that are at least semi-embarrassing. Instead, they played it straight, and you can't overcome boring writing by playing it straight.

Whatever it is, it's a mess. If they put something like that on our screens, we would SCREAM. The new open looks better every day. Yep. After a week+ living with the new open, I call it a success.

I think that font change is much too small. I prefer the current, new font…perhaps a little smaller. And again, I think the skyline is fine. Overall, the new open is a success in my eyes.

Ryan Carnes was special as Lucas. Anyone paying attention could see the detail he put into his character, especially in the relationship with Brad -- the way he looked at Brad, the way he touched Brad. I'm not talking about a romantic or a sex scene, but just that everyday touch of affection that made the relationship seem so real. Carnes brought out the best in Parry Shen, too. I don't think any of the things I've mentioned were in the script. I think it was all Carnes.

I co-sign everything being said about this wretched "storyline." It gives "rewrite" a whole new meaning. But it IS all worth watching -- to hate, to laugh at, to ridicule, to see why people disparage soaps. And can we all applaud Kimberlin Brown for her "I'm going to squint through every scene" acting style? I mean, Jesus, just get rid of her already.

Disagree completely. That scene was gold. What a piece of work. Why doesn’t he “explain what went down” right there on his damn Twitter page?

Just curious -- why is this hilarious?

The new open is fine, and I'd even call it good. It's not great, although like most of those commenting here, I don't know if it's possible to come up with an open that pleases viewers to the point of "greatness." I've now seen it multiple times on two U.S. episodes, and it looks better every time. Every actor looks great, hair and wardrobe. The font is getting heavy criticism, but I like it; a size smaller might be better. I think they went for a red font to match the lipstick color on the Y&R. The deep, dark background is a big contrast from the last open, so I think that was intentional. The skyline is being called "cheap," but I don't get that criticism at all. They're obviously going for some noir look with that and the font. If you don't like it, fine, but throwing out "It's cheap" doesn't work for me. Regardless of how poorly the business stories are today, Newman and Jabot are still at the center of Y&R. I don't know what else viewers would want as a background, other than generics. Importantly, they kept the actors' names on the screen. I love that. I also love it that they did not mess with the theme. I did like the jazz/porn theme, but not as a replacement for the classic. I'd use it today, but as the end credits music. One more thing I like that's continuing: that the music cue leads into the open theme and becomes a part of it. I'd say that works almost all of the time, and it's an example of extra work being done.

But the "Sheila is catching on" element doesn't make any sense either. Why not marry him and take his money? There's nothing about marrying Bill that puts her in any kind of danger or bad position. Then they throw ominous music behind it all -- as if that saves it.

I think Amanda Setton is just fine as Brook Lynn. The writing for her and Chase is at fault. When she’s given the material, she’s good. I have bigger problems with other characters, like Maxie, who has become annoying beyond belief. I also can’t stand Esme, who’s being redeemed in a flash for no reason, and who I’d rather see written off with that ginormous baby.

I liked it better on the 3rd watch than on the first, so maybe it'll grow on me. I want to see it on my television tomorrow rather than on my laptop. It isn't special, which is what I hoped for, so in that sense it's disappointing. Still, I can't agree with the comments that are trashing it and calling it awful. That's just overboard, I think. I'm most grateful they didn't mess with the soundtrack.
