Is there a reason for Lauren not wanting to tell Michael? Is this supposed to create friction in their marriage, or just simply show Lauren as an independent determined businesswoman?

 

As for Thursday's episode

I still don't really mind Ravi, lol. It's a bit stereotypical. Ashley's not exactly falling all over herself for him at this point. He has a crush on her and they kissed. I don't think she's *that* interested in him.

 

I don't like Jack going after Fenmore's either. I know "it's business" but it makes him look bad. I don't know what they're going for with Jack at the moment.

 

Idk, he's just a doctor now, not like they have him leading a storyline. I used to think the actor was bad and the character was pointless and needed to go, but as it stands I don't mind as just the doctor. At least he's a familiar face and not some random nobody.

 

I can believe it about Jack but I don't really like it.

I think they are trying to take Jack back to his ruthless "smilin' Jack" days.  A lot of time has passed so I'm not sure it works.

 

I found it a little odd that Abby and Nikki mentioned Devon, but didn't go to the hospital to show support for Devon and Neil.

With Sharon too

 

I guess so, but with the way Bergman is playing it, Jack has no charisma or charm. He comes off miserable, moody and pissed off. Angry. It's not working for me, LOL

 

Yes yes yes to all of this.

 

LOL at Billy: The Reed Whisperer. It's so contrived.

I hate these kind of twists. It been done so manyyyyyyyyyyy times....yawn.  And I don't even care for Devon so that's a double whammy.

 

Can writes write compelling drama anymore?? Gawd no wonder the soaps went to sh!t!

Why does he need a motive beyond business is business, though? A lot of these characters (and others all over on soaps) were raiding each other on principle when Donald Trump was still on his first wife.

    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.

    • 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.
