I think you’ve hit on what a lot of people have shared over the years. CK’s light skin, etc. has opened her up to pairings (and rivalries) that Mishael Morgan, Loren Lott, or Angell Conwell never would have had. Being in Cane Jail sorta obscured those advantages (even though, of course, he was white). But Y&R clearly sees her as palatable enough to the aging white audience to be a lead. She’s seen as formidable enough to go up against another longtime (white) lead, AH’s Victoria. She barely interacts with her black family at all, and her mentor is her dead white best friend’s mom.

This hair tho

Valerie has a new gig.

If these shows want to be sci-fi, they should commit to it. Not just lazily use sci-fi when it’s narratively convenient. But that’s pretty much the past 40 years of soaps. The masks thing RC falls back on seems singularly, eye-rollingly stupid.

Shapovalov was so annoying today, so I’m glad he lost. Harris is also rolling.

Wow.

Stefanos defending really well. This is funny.

Doesn’t that just say it all?

Lorenzo Musetti is rolling. Diego, Frances, and Grigor are great scalps.

I’m sick of folks pulling guns on Peter. Kill the guy already.

HA!

Carrie Ann, who’s been out sick, must be like, “Damn, y’all.”

Thank you! I’d like to “get lucky” with him...

If they actually treated the POC love interests with the same depth and care as the white ones, I’d be a lot more forgiving.

He is eminently punchable, that guy. If B&B just aired an episode with the rest of cast lining up to deck him, it’d be their highest-rated in years.

And Hope giving voice to a lot of our issues with Liam lol. Not it will mean anything.

It’s interesting. I think there are a lot of parallels between the soap audience and Bachelor Nation: https://www.thecut.com/2021/03/bachelor-finale-cant-handle-racism.html

That is true! Maybe as a Gold Star Gay I’m overstating how easily distinguishable a vajayjay can be. 😂

...change her entire body structure? Change Kristen’s middle-aged hands? Change her punany (thankfully Rex didn’t get it in)? It’s just so, so dumb...

I will say that I like Sally needling Phyllis a bit. It’s like Phyllis vs. a younger version of herself.

When things get this dumb, I’m out. Hard to watch this stuff with Kristen. I will say LG does a good version of SH’s Kristen. But that doesn’t salvage this.
