I agree, but I think people ultimately set themselves up to fail when they take this mindset. This is what happened with Kate Oates - her arrival was treated by many as if she were wafting down on a cloud. Then she produced some of the worst trash in the history of the show, which just made the betrayal even fresher because of delusions.

The Six for me had awesome moments, but if this is its final resolution, then it is terrible

But aside from that, I am now having issues with copy/paste storylines... we just had one friend sleeping her friend's guy (Stacey/Jack/Denise) and we just had a father coming back with an agenda (George's storyline). And I enjoyed both! But literally few weeks after these stories are done (in George's case even less), we are getting both again with Lauren/Zack/Whitney and Billy's dad coming. 

Currently, I am only really interested in Yolande's storyline. Although I fear how it will handled. I worry the Pastor will not be caught just because Yolande didn't go forward with calling the cops, and now there is no evidence. 

Aside from this and the aforementioned repeat storylines, we don't really have anything happening.

Oh yeah, there is Jay's storyline, I guess.. But I don't really care enough about Nadine, so yeah.

As all of you said, I hope we get some storylines for the sidelined characters like Chelsea, Cindy, Peter, Martin, Ravi, Alfie, Freddie (when is he coming back???), Kathy...

I hope Alfie's cancer storyline is not finished as well. It had some nice moments, but not nearly enough for a lifechanging storyline like cancer. 

Didn't Ravi kill that guy and Denise had that video that got deleted? Is that never going to come back to get revealed? I mean, they were kind of going there with Martin and Ravi fighting for Priya, but I just dislike Avani..

I assume Reece's wife will wake up from her coma or whatever now that Sonia is pregnant. I could get into that storyline. 

I would be fine if they cut any of the Mitchells, Callum, Avani, I would be fine with them cutting Linda as she goes to prison, Bernadette, Howie, Eve, Felix.....

Don't forget the nice with a history of sexual assault. I never cancelled my BritBox subscription (mainly because I want to watch all of Keeping Up Appearances and Are You Being Served? this summer lol), so I tuned in to Easties a few weeks ago, and it happened to be the ep where Yolande is raped. The whole story reminded me too much of Stacey/Leo. I can't see myself jumping back in, no matter how deeply and madly and stupidly in love I am with Jamie Borthwick and Thomas Law.

Oh you are right! That is also somewhat a copy of a recent storyline. I forgot about Theo since I started watching the show again when the Theo storyline was coming to its end. I do prefer Yolande's storyline just because it deals with a sexual abuse within church which I haven't seen on a soap opera before, so that gives it an interesting layer. But outside of that, it is indeed a copy of a recent storyline. 

They really should get more creative.

I swear Ravi killing his father and it coming out, was supposed to lead up to Kherat's return somehow (around Christmas). But like the Freddie paternity story(with Little Mo), it seemed to be written around wishful thinking that certain actors would commit for at least a brief visit. 

It's crazy how little Ravi has been shown, or any follow up to his stories.

This is the end result of a show that is wholly plot-based. He was given a pointless ex and daughter (the latter only getting attention when people talk about how old the actress is), and will presumably reunite with his ex when the plot demands, rather than due to any buildup. It feels like the character is on hold until awful Nish returns.

I wouldn't mind dysfunctional, but it's just the fact so many of them have been involved in murders, and some more than once. I quite like the actress who plays Suki, but wish they had been written differently. 

I'm so glad Yolande's back, she should never have been axed back in 2008.

What a surprise to see Yolande back. I had no idea Angela Wynter was also playing Ruby Sunday's adopted grandmother on the new Doctor Who (starting Friday!) - she looked absolutely unrecognizable in a much less put-together part in the Christmas special. Good for her!

    • I'm surprised it took me this long to get into RH. The soap is so damn good, I am just as obsessed with the Ryan's as Delia. The Ryans are a great family unit and seem like good people. I wish I had a family like that. This show has so many parallels to BTG. Frank's mystery is very similar to Martin's. Both are my favorites on each show. adding more thoughts soon once I get a consistent watch going. 
    • I also get why Gio feels his life was a lie. I get everyone's emotions are high now That's why I think Monica passing will be the catalyst that starts to the healing process for Gio, BLQ, Lois, Tracy, Ned, Olivia and Dante
    • Judging by the fact that I was able to watch two episodes today, looks like Canada being a day ahead might be permanent. 
    • Agreed! I normally don't rate Amanda Setton that highly as an actress, but she knocked those scenes out of the park. Between this and the Michael storyline, I think we're in for a week of juicy drama. I heard everyone talking about how dull Rory Gibson was on Y&R, but I thought he was pretty good today playing a steelier version of Michael. And I loved Wiley's little "Bye mommy!" moment. The writers clearly know how much most of us hate Willow if they're tossing out little nuggets of schadenfreude like that one. 
    • Slower day, but not bad. I thought Tomas was at his personal best today, flirting with Kat at Uptown.  Hayley is pregnant!  Oh boy... Samantha felt more like the babysitter today vs. the young sister. I'm ready to meet Sharon. I want a strong dynamic so it's not a repeat of what we just saw with Tracy's reunion.
    • They've been on same day for three episodes, which is a good thing because the days flowed weird to me before. 
    • I see both Lois and BLQs sides re Gio BLQ wanted her son to be happy. Lois wanted to make sure it happened, so she gave him to family. Selfish?  Yes, but I get it Gio was raised by a loving mother and extended family. Lois followed BLQ wishes Great acting by AS & RS

      date: Tuesday, May 27 | Christopher Dunn, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford I feel bad for Chelsea; she's exploring her feelings, and they're getting [unintentionally] hurt. But I love the support that Katherine has for her cousin. Bradley, you deserve one hundred times better than Deadbeat. So much more. Anita essentially tossing Tracy out... whew. She's done. DONE. Ouch... Chelsea hit the nerve with Katherine. How interesting... I feel like Tracy is becoming the mirror Anita has been avoiding while being a Dupree. What are these top secret things she's harbouring? I really hope Jessica's interest in Tyrell is genuine, because if it isn't, it might just destroy him. Back alley meetings? Your family? As if Bradley is not part of your family... Deadbeat, sit your ass down. Hey, Childbride, lower your damn voice. You're in the country club, not the country field where your ass belongs. And oh God, she's knocked up. Whew... here we go! Dante Greene, what control did this man have? But I appreciate that Anita and Tracy are uniting together; I pray that Sharon joins them soon. I love how easy Katherine and Tomas are with each other; it's smooth, it's natural and it's blooming in all the right ways. Hayley is about to battle the Dupree women for all she's worth. I am calling it right now. The unwavering support Vernon continues to provide to Anita is paramount; I adore them as the couple they are. Notes: Mike Manning (Bradley) continues to show up time and time again in scenes with Brandon Claybon (Deadbeat), who brings nothing to the table. There is an extreme lack of romantic chemistry between them. I'm wondering how different Dante Greene is going to be in comparison to Berry Gordy Jnr; we know the true history of Diana Ross and the Supremes, but how different will it be with Anita Williams and the Articulettes?
    • This episode is beyond excellent Could have waited on tge Trina Kai scenes  but regardless  great soap
    • Haha same! I didn't like her in the beginning, but over time, I've really grown to love to hate her as a villain.  I can't wait to listen to today's new episode later tonight! I've been waiting for the mom and dad (Crystal/Vincent) to have an interaction, so I'm happy to hear it's today.
