Nick's bubble butt is about the only thing working on Y&R these days.
I complain -- a lot -- about all 4 soaps, but Y&R is the only one that makes me angry. Maybe it's because I expect more and never get it with Josh Griffith. Almost every storyline has potential, but it's NEVER fulfilled, it's never satisfying.
The business stories are wretched.
They're all about merging companies and changing leadership titles. When has it ever made a difference or any impact? Business meetings are held in restaurants, and now in the damn park. Oh, yeah, I forgot about Lily's 6'x8' office.
We're supposed to see Victor as the great mastermind while he does things that would have families put away the guy for dementia? How would any of this make money?
The relationship stories are wretched.
Griffith gets couples together only for them to do nothing and go nowhere. Have Adam and Sally had a storyline? No, and now he's going back to Chelsea, which no one asked for. Their terrible OCD story is not going to give them anything. And sorry, I don't care about offscreen Connor.
The Lily/Daniel/Heather storyline was a dud that ended with a thud. Tucker and Ashley, another dud. Christine and Daniel? Jesus. Just kill me now and light me on fire. Hearing them talk about his concert tour is pathetic. He's not the male version of Taylor Swift and she's no Travis Kelce.
And no, I'm not watching this show for a love story between Traci and Alan. I'm just not.
The Claire character came in with potential. Now she's like s storybook version of Laura Ingalls Wilder. She's cringe. We got a couple days of "Johnnie and Katie might not like her," and then they disappeared. No reason to care, because that won't go anywhere either.
We get scenes teasing us with Nick and Sharon, wondering if it's going to happen again. That's all it is -- a worthless tease.
The sets are still a monumental disappointment. Not because they don't look good, because they do, but because there aren't enough. That's why it's so bad when you can't help but notice a business meeting is held in the park. But what do we get? The concrete benches are replaced with new green benches and gorgeous roses that were never there before.
I'll spare you the other dozen complaints I have, but the bottom line is that it all makes me angry. Obviously, this post won't get many -- or any -- responses because most people have given up on caring about this mess.
