This show needs to do better with the social distancing. Those scenes at Society were so damned awkward, as if each actor was sent to a different corner of the set. It just takes me out of the scene.

BTW, that jewelry Jack had made from Dina’s emerald? I think he should have found a better jeweler, because those pieces look like boring junk.

The costumes were the only good element of the election episode. My God, what a trainwreck.

it went bad from the beginning, where used-to-be woke Joss said she’d vote if she had time and then said she didn’t think a single vote would matter. So to push this episode forward, they had to trash what we know about Joss?

I actually heard quite a bit of autotune in that recording, but it did absolutely no favours to the performance.

It was bad, period.

Another thought I had....please tell me they’re not moving to an Epiphany/Cyrus storyline. I noticed he spoke to her and made a connection when he left the bar. Tell me they didn’t break up her marriage so she could be involved with Cyrus, either for real or to help the police.

What we’re watching now are new episodes right? Cause it doesn’t look like Days does any social distancing at all. Which I’m kinda okay with because it looks so awkward on Y&R

I agree. This social distancing is not noticeable at all.

The distancing on Y&R and B&B is awkward as hell. Today on Y&R, Chance sees Abby at the end and doesn’t hug her let alone kiss her??? They stay 6 feet apart??? It doesn’t work. The writers would’ve been better off with a phone call between them.

SE is pitchy today, and this song is a disaster.

I have to agree. Lousy song, pitchy singing, and lip sync on top of it? Ugh. And did we get the break up with Milo only so they could use her for the song? We’ve heard ZERO about marital problems, so the whole thing was absurd.

The loud argument Epiphany had with Franco was cringe. Am I the only one tired of the writing for Epiphany always playing to the loud angry black woman? I think it’s disgusting, horrific writing.

Michael and Willow being unable and incapable of telling each other how they feel is just lame as hell. Leave that for the teen set on this show. Adults shouldn’t ac5 that way.

I agree too. It's weird when you think Bryton and Brytni are involved in real life. They should have chemistry.

They do have chemistry. So do Bryton and MIshael. Of course things look better with Amanda now that Elena is a disaster.

Sad. These dream/fantasy sequences just don’t work very well.

I didn’t enjoy the episode, either. For one thing, these fantasy episodes have been done so many times there’s nothing new. For another, we know that nothing will come out of anything that happens. It’s a waste.

Emme  Ryan is just lousy as Lulu. I just don’t see her in any romantic pairing, because she comes across as too hard to me. Not sure if that explains it very well. She just doesn’t work as this character.

Julian has been written into a corner, but I do think he’s a solid actor. Most on here are happy he’s going, but i can think of plenty who should get a pink slip before he does.

The doll kind of reminds me of the bedridden Angela Forrester lol.

 

Definitely disappointed that Julius wasn't there to rip Zende a new one. Maybe it's a setup.

It has to be a setup, or else it’s too ridiculous for words. The thing is, if it is a setup, the question is why Zende is such a PUTZ to Julius.

He’d open up with him about a new relationship? Would think it was normal for his former father in law to give him dating advice?  It’s just bad writing.

That was ODD. When I saw Julius was coming back I figured he was coming back to tell Zende off lol. However Julius’ behavior is why I think Nicole is at fault for the behavior but the story continues to be really really vague as to why they separated. It reminds me of Noah & Eden on Y&R several years ago at least Steffy didn’t meet Nicole in rehab lol. Zende’s conversation could have easily been with Eric really.

 

Carter & Zoe is ridiculous but I love Carter so I’m glad this will make Zoe look like the hoe she is.

They have been vague about the Zende and Nicole separation, but hearing details about it won’t help the story. If Nicole is not on the canvas, I don’t care what happened. Hearing about offscreen stuff is worthless.

i like Carter a lot, too — and they’ve failed him again. Yes, Zoe is looking like a total hoe, but Carter looks soooo naive and soooo blind about her, about dating,about women, and about noticing that Zoe and Zende are giving lustful looks to each other right in front of him.

I thought it was just me with Kyle. TPTB finally had a modicum of success with the Kyle character and handed him the entire Abbot story, including the company.  Mealor can't carry this. He just can't. 

I think Mealor can carry plenty. It’s not his fault he’s been written as a whiner who is gobsmacked every time a female looks at him.

When Mealor arrived in GC, he was a lot more bad boy. That’s all been taken from him, and that is not his fault.

I love love love Nikolas and Ava. I can't remember the last time I was excited about a soap couple. They have great chemistry and I love this actor playing Nikolas.

 

I agree that Joss is boring - I'll take Trina over her any day.

 

Speaking of boring - Michael and Willow zZzzZzzzz

I so agree with you about Michael and Willow. They’re deadly.

And as Nikolas, Marcus Coloma is someone I never get tired of, or get tired of looking at. Daytime has a lot of hot guys, but MC is something special. Damn.

He deactivated all his Social media when he came back.

and  i agree, I wonder tho if this is because susan dansby was brought on, Ik she hasn't been credited yet so maybe he just got a fire lit under his butt.

I think the fire under the butt is the reason, too. The ratings were dropping and those in power who could light that fire know we’ve been unhappy.

i don’t think writers should listen to social media and follow every whim, bu5 neither should they block it out. It’s absurd to think viewers don’t sometimes have good opinions. Also, if you get HUGE numbers asking for something or wanting something to end, maybe it’s time to at least CONSIDER it.

i do have a problem with social media when NOTHING seems good enough.

This week was IMO clearly an improvement over the past couple months. I don’t know how any regular viewer could miss the difference. Yet, I come here and see the typical “It sucks” posts — from lapsed viewers who aren’t watching at all or who claim they catch 5 minutes here and there.

Only 2 cops during a Blackout/Prison break. Where's the red light coming from?

Exactly. And Shawn thinks there’s been a break in at his house and runs there himself without calling 911 or cops in the area?

That Salem PD is sooooooooo severely under-populated. 

Why have Trina decide with one kiss that she has no feelings for Cam? Just stupid. And a Joss needs a personality, stat. 
 

The Cyrus character won’t end soon, but should, because it’s pathetic. This ALL POWERFUL AND DEADLY GIANT is personally making visits to Julian’s dive bar to buy it and threaten him??? I thought he was supposed to be a big shot, a real boss. This stuff is just ridiculous.

I think we’re going to get the Thomas brain tumor story. That’s the only way to explain the doll. 
 

I’m having second thoughts about the storyline. At least it’s different,if ridiculous.

But also ridiculous and even worse? A Julius Avant I did not even recognize. Who WAS that guy??? Spouting things Julius would NEVER say???

Unless he’s pulling a fake out on Zende and is going to go after him, why visit him at all? Why praise him and support him? And why in the hell would Zende tell him ANYTHING about his romantic life?

Also bad: Zoe and Carter’s TORTUROUSLY boring “relationship.” My God.

I don’t thinkJosh Griffith is in a panic about any backlash at Shadam or anything else. I don’t think he’s takin* any cues from social media.

This has been the best week for Y&R in a good while, so I’ll take it. It has been lousy, but I’m not going to crap on good weeks, and this has been one.

It’s been happening off and on now for like the last 4 years. He literally keeps failing at killing her and John and just pops back up to fail again each year.

 

I feel like the blackout is ruining some of the momentum the show had been building up. I’m tired of Clyde and Orpheus.

 

Still crazy to think we’re not getting an official goodbye for the character of Hope after all these years.

It’s just ridiculous that these guys keep coming back to do the same thing time and time again — and failing. It’s maddening to watch.

The Hope mannequin is definitely unlike Brad Bell...We'll see if this storyline lures viewers or chases them away.

It is just so bad. So, so bad.

Nobody here has a comment on Zoe’s song? Her singing?

Honestly, I thought it was cringeworthy. Zende was over-the-top in his praise of that mess.

I thought Zoe was supposed to be a model? When she modeled that ugly dress for Zende she looked like a lumbering idiot.

She really did, and even offering to wear that for Zende was weird. A fashion house has no models available? She’s nothing but a hoe.

i still don’t get why Zoe went all the way over to Carter’s place to turn down his request that she move in with him. Witch.

Her clothing is awful. For awhile she was always in these dumb caftans. She is extremely unbelievable as a the figure head of a fashion line. She is a disgusting person.

Carter should leave this idiot Zoe alone. She is a slut on the come up and nothing else. Carter and Steffy would be a beautiful couple.
I don’t mind a Finn at lease he’s not idiot boy Liam. 
Poor Thomas is a handsome man and should have a lady in his life. Not moping after his whore stepmoms bastard daughter.

Preach!

Dina’s exit was very well done, but I agree that one episode just wasn’t enough. I guess Covid is the reason for that decision. Marla Adams was excellent. It’s not easy to do these emotional scenes with no one even touching let alone hugging.

Michael’s white hair was ok, if only because the dark dye jobs were so bad. He needs to cut it shorter, though.

Can B&B please stop playing those creepy over the top musical cues every time someone goes to hug and/or kiss the mannequin? It’s ridiculous now.

And Carter and Zoe standing 30 yards apart while they talk about moving in together? My God.

Are directors telling the actor playing Carter to be as dull as possible? He’s a great looking guy, and he’s playing this as drily as he can.

Making it worse? He doesn’t catch on when Zoe and Zende give looks of longing to each other RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.

I"m hearing the show has been getting better. I'm afraid to check myself. If so, why? New writers yet?

Short answer, yes. The show has been better. There’s more drama, more conflict. There are fewer conversations that go nowhere and mean nothing.
