I have to admit I didn't pay much attention to the Constantine storyline. It felt like added filler to the show which at that time was all about the Shane McGrath shooting and Stephanie's crusade to get Brooke's kids taken off her.

Thank you

Yes it looks like they've got 2002 sorted. Fingers crossed.

Once Sarah Buxton was gone, the show really lost its fun vibe. I was super excited for 2001, but it ended up being kind of a letdown.

By January 2002, things are really heating up again. The show is totally hitting its stride. Ronn Moss absolutely crushed it in the boardroom scene. Usually, his serious face doesn’t do much for the show, but when it comes to a business storyline, he really nails it.

It's funny how hardly anyone brings up 2004. It feels like that year is totally overlooked when people discuss B&B. I don't think the show has even posted any episodes from that year. I only started watching the show regularly from 2005 onwards, so anything before that seems like a blur.

I kinda liked 2001... and loved 2002. And overall 1999-2003 is LIGHT years more strong period than 1994-1998. 2004 and 2005 are not bad at all! AT ALL. And 2005 has one of my most favorite camp storylines - Stephanie's heart attack that gave us that iconic showdown between Brooke and Stephanie... in the presence of Jackie. It was sooo great.  2003-2007 is very Nick oriented... and it started GOOD and ended up badly. He would change women and they would change him every couple of months. And I hated the Nick/Brooke/Bridget triangle. It was disgusting and went for waaay too long.

Guys if you could pick... which 3 seasons of the show are the ultimate worst... LIKE absolute worst.

I have my picks.

1. 2024 - uninspired drivel, parody of the former show. Mints, toes and staplers... And a backpack.

2. 2022 - incredibly boring, skippable year. It had 4 months of Brooke crying because she kissed Santa. Yawn.  

3.1994 - a huge flop compared to the years before it. It's like.. the show's first car crash where nothing was the same afterwards.

    • 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.
    • 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.
