To me, that’s already saying too much.

Why would they say anything?! God, these people don’t know how to build suspense or mystery.

Nadine Velazquez has been cast as the fourth member of the group. Sounds like her character has become sort of a Wendy Williams type. https://deadline.com/2021/03/nadine-velazquez-abc-hip-hop-drama-pilot-queens-1234709580/

They’re too different to keep doing the Lecy Goranson/Sarah Chalke swap, for sure.

I agree. Half of them were dreadful (Olivia, Kandi, Tina, Utica). The others were meh. I agree that Gottmik and Rosé were the best of the bunch, but that wasn’t saying much.

Certainly the Oscars have had some left-field choices in recent years (Benh Zeitlin, Lenny Abrahamson). The above seems a feasible final five, though. I see Regina got nominated as a first-time director.

I wonder if that’s our Oscar final 5 or if Regina King might break in.

C’mon now. This is great comedy!

I deleted my last post as it could be perceived as spoiler-y. But I’ll take Franco all day, every day over Peter.

Just saying that she could perform it well if they did, which I didn’t see when she was playing the Gabi alter. She seemed limp as that “character” to me.

I sympathize to a degree, as it was an unexpected tragedy, but they did absolutely nothing with the cast they *did* have on the canvas (BJ and CK), and that’s unconscionable to me. CK may not have been back full time at that point, but she was around. And, to this day, years later, they’ve done close to nothing to honor Neil.

Use it as a jumping-off point to generate renewed energy in that part of the canvas and really honor his legacy in a way that carried the show forward. Plant a seed. Get Neil a secret in his will that Devon and Lily have to uncover. Something. Y&R hadn’t been in the public eye like that in years, and like you say, I had modestly hope that the outpouring of support would have at least inspired them to recognize the goldmine that they’d ignored for years. To no avail. And, to add, of course they used those scenes to win the show Emmys.

Given that he’s trending No. 1 on Twitter for a show that doesn’t even air here, he’ll be monetizing his BS somewhere else very soon.

Not to be morbid, but, with all of the eyes on the show during that tragic time, that was an opportunity to pass the baton, but nope. Unlike with Jeanne Cooper’s real-life passing, no story really came out of it. (In actuality, Neil had been so thoroughly diminished that there wasn’t really a baton to be passed.)

She’s just doesn’t work at all. Get rid of her. For a 30-minute show, B&B feels awfully padded with filler. Is this really how this Vinny/Thomas story gonna play out? These plots are so anticlimactic.

I’m gonna need Paris to slap the lip gloss off her face and snatch that ugly, gaudy-ass costume jewelry from around her neck (is it attached to her chemise?)

I can’t say enough good things about Marci’s revitalized take on Abby (if my new profile pic didn’t give it away). Icy yet down-and-dirty. She’d make an amazing villain if they went there. MM is a star who definitely deserves a better platform, but she’s making the most of what she’s given these days.

I just want to be on a fly on the wall behind the scenes. Would be much more enlightening and exciting than watching this show. At least they realized they needed a “secret” to be revealed with the Chelsea faking the severity of her stroke complications and scheming against Adam, but that’s a steaming pile of “who cares?”

Institutions are crumbling one by one, some more slowly than others. I would say “pass the popcorn,” but too many innocent folks will be hurt by vengeful people aiming to hold on to their increasingly flimsy power.
