Exactly.

 

I get why they do it, but for reasons above, it sucks.

 

I knew it wasn't going to be Stefan/Chloe, he was always destined for Chabby angst, but I really loved the idea. He belonged in the Chloe/Brady age range, not Chad/Abby.

 

Hell, if they cared about Shawn and Belle, he could have been their angst. But pop-ins it is ...

 

EDIT: But back to Y&R ... sorry all! Went on a little rant

Until now nobody has directly addressed the BTS allegations but Abhi Sinha finally has. Not the most high profile, but I think it speaks volumes that an actual cast member acknowledges that there is something going on. I would imagine being there for a year he would’ve seen something.

I just went to the comments and he specifically says “allegations against the showrunner,” which would have to be Mal Young no? Curious they haven’t done anything if that’s the case. If it leaks that CBS has another coverup it’ll be dire for the network.

Wondering who those might be.  The mainstream press usually shows indifference to all things daytime soap and the soap press are too cloying to risk their access.

 

Daytime drama seems to be at its nadir at this point.  I'm relieved that I gave up on the current crop of daytime soaps this summer.

Well, the actor wouldn't have posted references to these allegation against the show runner if they were completely unfounded and we have another poster in the Director/Writer thread confirming that Beth Milstein quit because of harassment and abuse by Mal.  Two new hires have come in, both men (Griffith replacing Lisa as SP and Daran Little replacing Beth).  Mal has not tweeted once about Y&R since Aug 27 tweet about an actress who went on recurring....hmmmmmmm.  Let's hope he's out at the end of his contract.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Ted has been icky and giving off bad guy vibe from the first moment I saw him. I have a sensor for that and it was beeping! So...don't put all the blame on Silkpress. The woman needs a good psychiatrist, true... but Leslie is just one of the skeletons in HIS closet. Ted is even a bigger monster, because he's hidden.  IT WAS A PERFECT REVEAL. Perfect, because in the beginning of the show... Dani was envying her sister's marriage... In these first few messy weeks... her own misery and life spiraling was contrasted to the picture-perfect marriage Nicole and Ted seemed to have. (on first glance). What happened now... is very very smart writing. THIS IS THE MOMENT THE MASKS ARE FALLING! The message it delivers to me is this. It says - no matter how things look... they are not what they seem. You can't judge a marriage by how it appears to be. Aaaand in the long run... maybe the messiest-looking people (Dani Dupree, I'm talking about you!) HAVE less issues and problems than the ones that seem to have it all. The ones with the MOST skeletons in the closets and the dirty pasts.   It was an AHA moment for the whole family and the viewers and a way forward for Dani and Nicole to bond even more and realize they are MORE alike than they are different. Now it will be quite a different dynamic, because Dani will have to SUPPORT someone and not be the one getting her wounds licked always. And also another lesson. Some men are dogs. Not all of them. But a lot of them are. The difference is... some can't be easily recognized. These creeps have put very impressive masks. The show is doing this perfectly. Beat by beat. Exploring classic soap opera themes and stories. Real-life characters and situations, that are relatable and make you think... Hmm... maybe I need to dig a little deeper next time I say "these people are perfect" or otherwise. Maybe I need to think MORE. That type of storytelling. It's not easy to do that.  Brava BTG.  B-R-A-V-A!

      I speculate that Nicole will go through cycles of numbness/grief/rage.  At some point later on, regardless of DNA results (or faked results), whether there was a baby swap or not, I think Nicole will forgive Eva, and eventually love her someday.  Nicole will come to understand that Leslie gaslighted/manipulated Eva.  Nicole will be her loving self, although more guarded than before.   Just my thoughts.

      Lol. That comment was just silly.  I feel like The Guiding Light started it when they made me love Roger Thorpe. Leslie is pussycat in comparison and there is a lot of story to go  for her and Eva.

      Your posts continue to amuse me. I don't know anyone else who thinks Leslie and Eva should "hightail it out of town."  And listen, soaps have been FOR DECADES keeping around villains who we know would be jailed in real life. So is it crazy to think "they are just going to let this slide"? No. It's kind of hilarious to watch you take everything that happens on this show and distort it or lead me to think, "Huh???"

      I can't even count the amount of magazine covers and photoshoots KKL has been in the past few months. Shame that the show is not mirroring the success she's having. It would have been so great to see both KKL and Brooke be on top.  I'm still holding a grudge that Brad rewrote the company take-over to a nothing... and then nulled Brooke to being a romance beggar again.

      I'm also getting an error that I haven't seen before, but there's been a couple of different variations, so not going to worry about it for now.

      Finally got to sit down and watch. Wow!  When LesDanLuAnn said to Ted, this your daughter. I started tearing up...... Eva got me.  I felt like I was watching a soap opera.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      The drag was when Tad and Edmund went to Budapest (?) in 1997 to get Maddie back from Dimitri.

      I know it's not happening but on the surface, there's nothing left for Leslie and Eva to do but to hightail it out of town, if they value their lives. Leslie has destroyed Ted's image, embarrassed and humiliated his wife and children, and unearthed the wrath of the entire Dupree family. She's crazier than I thought if she thinks they are just going to let this slide.

      It will be amazing if we could record the skipped episodes. Did someone sent a list of the skipped youtube episodes to the guys that are filling in the gaps?
