Precisely... despite their issues and clunkers, the show back then had heart, drama and passion, even multi-dimensionality. Characters had individual voices. And people certainly didn't go around barbecuing babies and sending frozen blood from Australia.

Hopefully, the record low ratings this week were a sign to the idiots running this show. Their idea of what Y&R should be is turning many off and no longer that popular with the general audience.

If they can't handle that, their immediate firings are needed, and needed fast before things get even worse with this writing regime.

I probably wouldn't have this much of a problem with it had the current state of this show not been as misognitic as it currently is.

- We have Ashley being gaslighted and being coerced into losing her mind by Adam.

- Patty Jane is literally crazy over Jack.

- Both Sharon and Phyllis have gone nuts over Nick, and they never learn. They're both obsessed with a guy who constantly treats them like crap and who constantly leaves them for one another.

- Even Lily's cancer is another form of female victimization.

- Jill going broke and forced to do nails again, when we know she's better off as the bitchy diva we know she is.

- Chloe is still hung up on Billy, though he treats her like crap.

- Ever since Mac came back, almost her entire existence has been based on Billy.

- And now, Amber is coerced into sex with Deacon on his "terms" as he yells and makes demands at her.

There's probably more I'm forgetting, but I'm really sick of this show and its hatred for women.

And the only time I like CF is when she's away from Billy. IA with all your points though.

I'm still puzzled by the fact that M.J. is Patty, someone who is still hung up on Jack after all these years. You think she would have come back to Genoa City many years earlier, plus what about Paul too. He's a PI but can't figure out that his sister is nuts and keeps a stuffed cat? I would have thought that if Patty ever returned to Genoa City again, she would be more together mentally having made a name for herself. I guess Hogan and Bell had other ideas.

Not only is Patty still literally crazy over Jack, but she's constantly a pawn for the Newman men, like Victor and Adam, who both use her to further their own agendas.

Thanks for saying all of that so I wouldn't have to. I agree with it all.

I was thoroughly disgusted and appalled with what happened between Amber and Deacon today, at least on Days most of what went on was left to the imagination.....

LOL!

Well that sure stopped this thread dead in its tracks. LOL!

I hate the story. Hated it on Days, and I hate it on here. But I'll tell you what I hate even more - that mistakes weren't learned from. That makes me want to claw somebody eyes out.

That being said, there was a way to write that scene that wasn't quite so angry. I like my Deacon slimy. Dirty. Hot. Not angry. Rage and demands don't become him. Grit and slime does.

^^^I like my Deacon .......on B&B

This rape or borderline rape or whatever does nothing to cement his being on Y&R. In fact, yet again, we have another un-rootable character on this show that's filled with slimeballs and pricks.

But I guess this crap fits perfectly in with this writing regime's women-hating antics. <_<

      Neighbours: Discussion Thread

      When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.

      @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.

      Knots Landing

      Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.

      The Politics Thread

      By marceline · Posted

      Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.

      Neighbours: Discussion Thread

      By Adamski · Posted

      Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

      Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.

      I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.

      Guiding Light Discussion Thread

      "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.
