As I said ealier, the issue didn't exist before. New regime, different value placed on the character. That doesn't make it less valid. Sure, folks wanted her to have more. But that didn't mean that folks wanted her propped to the gods either. 

 

I never once said it was CGs fault. I never once said she didn't have a right to prominence on the show. My only point was, don't blame Bryton or Mishael if Mariah didn't work out in Devon and Hilary's orbit. That's all.

BTW Bill Bell had this tradition where he would build a leading man up, have two women spar over him and then he would kill the man off... How I wish the same pattern would apply to Devon

That was me or I was one of the people who said it at least.  I'm not feeling the need to "defend" myself because I don't think I said anything wrong, but I will explain.  I simply saw more chemistry between Mariah and Tessa than I have seen with Mariah and anyone else.  That is obviously subjective to some degree, but I'm not the only one who saw it  I'm frankly amazed the show might go in that direction, I never expected it when I said I thought Mariah might click better with a woman.  I certainly don't think that clicking with another woman on screen is some kind of "dis" to her. That implies that having chemistry with a woman or a same sex relationship is somehow lesser.  I'm not coming from that position at all.  I obviously like Hillary, but I'm not particularly invested in Hillary and Devon.

Nah, it's just the most random-ass insult I've gotten since that dude who said I had AIDS. True fact, I just used the search engine to look up "cheeto" on here searching for some sort of context. Girl I don't even like Cheetos. Thanks for coming out though, this has been great.

    • 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.
