B&B will just go in circles for months and months (Brooke tearfully stumbling around her home, muttering to herself, “How could I have possibly relapsed?” for literally weeks), then have a flurry of activity, then more wheel spinning.
Y&R is a mostly directionless, momentum-free flatline, although it recently got a small burst of energy from Diane’s return (when Susan Walters isn’t on, it’s like someone took the batteries out of the show).
GH bites off way more than it can chew with that massive cast of nobodies and filler. The whole Sprina/Esme/Ryan story is beyond exhausting. Some of the issues stem from lack of actor availability on these shows, I know.
