Finally the show is using other characters. The Spencer scene almost seemed surreal. Hope this means more than the quad but Im not looking forward to Katie and Bill redux

LOL at Bill reading Mayan. I forgot that he knows about her past. Good way to get him into this story. I will say Im disappointed though that he still is pro Rick/Caroline instead of rightfully being pissed at Rick. I hate how everyone is giving Rick a free pass. What he's done is sick

Liam works. They've shown him doing his job enough times. And to be fair there has been very little story outside of Ridge/Caroline/Rick/Thot. When other characters are used, its directly or indirectly related to those 4. And before that when he was in his quad, his 3 scene partners all worked at FC, hence why the writers would utilize him there

This a was a good episode. Finally, more characters/storylines!

I have to say, everything with Liam & Katie happened SO quickly and SO out of the blue, I thought I missed a couple of episodes. They crammed at least three episodes' worth of story in 18 minutes lol Still, good to see them. Despite it all, there's still something between Bill and Katie. They may be a poor substitute for the Brad/Victoria pairing we unfortunately never got to enjoy, but the chemistry is still there.

The Nicole/Maya stuff was great. The actress playing Nicole was so natural right from the beginning and seemed so at ease, playing all the little beats to perfection. I'm really excited to see where they take this.

Loved Caroline and Katie coming face to face for the first time. Katie at least isn't acting like she lost the world.

Pam was hilarious "shaming" Rick. I literally LOL when Rick looked up and there was Pam with the portrait. Interesting that Rick tried to get Pam to do a deep background check on Maya and that she shot him down flat.

YAS at Bill just barging into the Forrester mansion and telling Maya to leave Rick or he will reveal her thotness. Fight it out, darlings!

I guess there's more to find out. I hope they haven't dealt with the whole thing already and plan to explore it deeper. Nicole could have always made some money herself and found a way to go to college. I don't know whether she looked "well off," though. Seemed like a typically dressed college girl, but who knows.

Where is Chit's direct line to Jesus when you need it? Othello needs to GO.

by well off, I didnt mean rich, but like your typical American. She didnt look like she was rough around the edge or was brought up on the streets. From this small glimpse, she looked like she was raised right and had a decent upbringing

I liked Nicole too....I sort of wish they would just SORAzied R.J or bring an older Little D, or both so we can have a younger generation set....

I hope Bill does confront Rick too, though I thought the scenes with him and Maya were pretty funny....I'm glad B&B has become an entertaining soap again...

I may have hit another B&B watching period - I watched this show for the better part of a week and it's pretty solidly scripted and performed at the moment. Kudos to Lawrence Saint-Victor, too. That story Rick told about sleeping in his father's bed was classic soap.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • 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?
