Things really need to pick up. I understand that they're trying to set things up but at least have some good action. Also, I hate that everyone is at a different location once again. Get everyone together, Tim Kring!!

The pacing is so bad, it hurts!! If they don't fix something soon and fire Philbin and Green, I'm done with this show. Plot-holes galore, coma-inducing stories (twins and Hiro), plain awful sh!t like Peter in Ireland and Niki wanting to be cured, Candace...

And how many unbelievably corny moments did this episode exactly? Signature Philbin writing.

Yes, Kring is guilty, too, but these two also. Bad dialogue, awful structure. Bye, bye, Greene and Philbin.

And what on earth are Loeb and Alexander doing over there?? They should know better and steer Kring in the right direction!

And ratings are down - from 8.1 to 6.4.

I like the twins (them, Nathan, the Bogeyman, and Micha's family is intriguing to me)... now Peter's storyline and Niki wanted to be by the Company (despite the fact that she worked for them, and know the "evil" that they do) that is some mess. And I can do without the same ol' mess that Sylar's doing. I'm also tired of them not revealing more of the older generation yet.

To me, the whole idea that Niki is serious about curing herself from this "disease" is just so naive and unbelievable. That woman Micah is going to stay with is I guess his grandmother (or is she?) and she has an intriguing face, so I'm waiting for some interesting stuff over there.

The twins are all over the place, they keep running from the law, than there's that badly written scene with the fortuneteller, escape from prison equally bad, their power is weird, too.

Too many deus ex machinas for my taste - every time we need a power or a miraculous escape, oh, look - there is a character that has it and that can get us out of this mess. And there is the fact that at the end of each episode there is a cliffhanger that is quite good, but that's supposed to delete the previous 40 minutes of plain boredom.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.

      I thought it was Sherry Stringfield, but maybe it was before Blake slept with Ross.

      Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.

      When written correctly or played correctly the antagonist will often have a sizable following, although this can go too far. It's why having a balance and allowing your heroes to be called out by other characters is so important. Speaking of that, I did not realize Sonni got a lengthy montage when Michelle Forbes left, or that Pam Long was willing to showcase Sonni/Josh so much for her farewell. The care taken reminds me of when Anne Heche left AW a few years later. Given that Sonni was brought in an as interloper, it shows just how much respect the show had for Michelle's talents and how much she captivated viewers in those two years.

        Oh I think Holly gives Blake a smack in the mouth. I think it was during Liz's early days as Blake as that is when they become estranged for a good while, although I may be wrong.

      Billy slapping Mindy is a turning point in '90. And I feel there was a slap between Holly and Blake during the Ross thing.

      ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?

      I was going to put this Lisa Brenner interview in the AW thread but I'm not sure she says much about AW in it. I admittedly skipped around a lot as the interviewer's style annoyed me.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Today was amazing, for so many reasons. Others have complained certain stories are dragging and others have rightly pointed out, the show only premiered THREE MONTHS AGO! Yes, the caps are dramatic, but I think they seize the moment appropriately. I have watched more than a few soap opera debuts. BTG, is by far, the best, first three months of a show, I have ever seen. MVJ, rightly, found the best in the business to avoid as my pitfalls as they could, to get the show settled quickly. They have found their footing. Is it perfect, no, but is it as close to excellence I've seen this quickly, yes. I loved today's scenes, particularly with Anita. That voice reading the letter, sounded like June

      GH has to be the only soap that still has a courtroom set and I appreciate that as I love courtroom drama on soaps.
