Solid episode - not the best of the week though!

I'm glad Bo finally arrived at Tinda Lau (sp?). I love how he went into action so quick. He knew exactly what to do and remanined postive.

I love how Belle continues to try to make a fool of Phillip - unfortunately, I think that ship has sailed. Is it just me, or did anyone else feel that Claire actually feels way more comfortable with Belle?

The Nick & Chelsea stuff was nice! Someone needs to smack Nick though for letting Willow interfere. Something tells me another serious love triangle is about to develop.

Sami & Lucas were outstanding!!! They have really grown as characters, and I'd like to thik that they will be together for the long-run. But, Sami didn't tell Lucas that she also drugged him and went to kill EJ that night. Lucas straight up asked her if that was everything that she was hiding, and she said yes. BAD MOVE SAMI!

I'm posting early since I'll be out for the afternoon. Heads up: This post is very spoilerish for those who haven't seen the show.

************************

First, THANK GOD that Bo is now involved with the Islanders. Talk about a breath of fresh air!

Chick were enjoyable today. There story has been far too angsty lately so it was nice to see a return to the cute stuff. I have no interest in a Wick/Chick triangle, though.

But LUMI pretty much owned this episode, IMO.

I've long suspected that Sami's rape was ultimately a vehicle to redeem Lucas. Today was the confirmation. I could kiss Hogan and his scriptwriter because his reaction was pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. I liked that instead of just having him randomly forgive her, they worked his history into the scenes There was acknowledgement that the "old Lucas" would have turned to the bottle instead of facing the problem. And he recognised that his past behavior played into her inability to trust him with the truth. This wasn't just a "payoff" for Sami but significant growth for Lucas as an individual.

I'm ashamed of the man I used to be -- the man who doubted everything and everybody, especially you.

It is my fault, all right? It's my fault. If you didn't have enough faith in the power of love, it's my fault because of what I've done to you and how much I've loved you and left you in the past.

I mean, where the hell do I get off appointing myself your judge and jury?

That last line addresses everything that went wrong with the character (and LUMI) under JER.

It was also a relief that he recognised the rape for what is was rather than seeing it as some kind of betrayal.

Lucas: Who cares? Will you listen to yourself? Rape is rape. It's never the woman's fault.

Last but not least...

You're my best friend. You're my lover. You're my wife. You're my hero, Sami.

That's a part of LUMI's history that often gets overlooked so the mention was a nice touch.

I knew Bryan & Ali would be amazing with these scenes (and they were) but the real surprise was how well they were written. I like to think of today's scenes as being the "unofficial" wedding vows.

So much for Hogan not *getting* LUMI or being incapable of good romance. B)

      I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.

      Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.

      And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
