That Indigenous actress didn't report the facts accurately. She said the N word was used on set, indicating that the show was very racist. What she failed to mention was the very important context that the actor who used the N word was a person of colour (many speculating it was more specifically a black actor) reciting rap lyrics which makes the use of the word considerably less problematic. It's still highly unprofessional, but not racist. I don't trust the actress. That, however, doesn't negate the other actors who have come forward with their own experiences. I'm more inclined to believe them. However, I don't believe racism is a rampant issue on Neighbours as that actress seems to want everyone to believe. They absolutely do need to address whatever issues there may be behind the scenes though to make sure people are comfortable and things like this don't happen again.

Is anyone watching this?

 

Really had enough of Amy's polyamory story. It keeps going and going and has successfully managed to ruin both Ned and Amy as characters. Hopefully Amy's daughter arriving can reinvigorate her character.

 

Love Nicolette and her being a worthy adversary for Paul. Would really love it though if they could start and give her storylines that don't involve the boring Boo's.

 

Terese turning back to alcohol has been well done.

 

I can't help but love bitchy Harlow and thought Roxy was more than a little mean to callously exclude her from her wedding party like that.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
