It was inevitable after JY was discarded. It was only delayed by KM's leave. As soon as the legal requirement after her return was met, we knew she'd be gone. But nearly all of us saw this coming with the Marlon reveal and the PSA storyline that boxed-in Rick/Maya. A real shame.

 

The Myrna/Rick/C2/Widge months got me hooked back in. The Myron ploy was disappointing because B&B had finally managed to have a diverse leading actor - and one that had languished on canvas for years - so not an instant character forced on the audience.

Hope - Now Thomas is "in love with her" after being back for 2 weeks.  This show is so horribly paced.  Hope is bubbly and excited with Thomas and his Son but gets home to Liam and is a boring dishrag pushing him away.  I'm tired of hearing Hope cry and sob about Beth, and not falling asleep and passing out, and then the bawling when she's around Liam.  

 

Any time the Liam/Steffy/Hope triangle pops up again after this - Hope can die as far as I'm concered.  Was always a Hope fan but this version is just so depressing and off-putting.  I hope Liam goes back to Steffy, and then never let Hope find out the baby is hers.  Let the next 20 years go by and let her never know.  And send her off with this version of Thomas that isn't working. 

 

The chemistry isn't there from what I see and I never thought I'd say this...and I know he had a first couple tough days with the emotion he had to give - alot to ask with this actor, and I liked him on Y&R and thought he might be a good choice for this role.  But Pierson Fode had chemistry with Sally - I don't see chemistry with him and this version of Hope...it's already not working.  Pierson Fode was better.

 

Hope:  "My body is in mourning".  LOLLL.  Hope is a whore.  She'll be banging Thomas by the end of next week.  LOL.  She's been frigid since the 'death of Beth' but will get fired up over another man just like every Logan girl very quickly. 

 

She wants him to be a Father to Kelly, and Phoebe.  Such horrible writing - a couple months ago she whored herself out immediately and notified Steffy she was fightin' for this man regardless of Steffy's baby.  Now she keeps pushing for them to be back together.  He should leave and not look back. 

 

Thomas:  "I'm DOING this.  I'm BREAKING UP HOPE AND LIAM!"  So contrived.  So awful.

LMAO!!! 

 

nuThomas doesn't seem to have chemistry any of his potential love interests.  But I have to say he sure should have been cast as Ronn Moss's Ridge's son.  They not only share a resemblance, but this guy's acting is probably just a notch better.  He does most of his (over)acting with his squinty eyes, just like Ronn Moss did.  His line-delivery was pretty close to Moss's during his convo with Sally, too.

 

Sorry about Karla Mosley.  I never really had a huge problem with her, though I agree she was more interesting as a beyotch and the trans story as written totally ruined her.  I'm more or less disappointed that we're losing the last (mostly) developed and established Black character/family on the show with the slightest bit of interest.  Everyone else is just expendable glorified day players, door mats, or talk-tos for Hope/Liam/Steffy or whatever Forrester or Logan flavor of the month (Flo at the moment).

The writing was on the wall which is a shame since she was daytime's only trans character. If they were going to write her out after her maternity leave, they should have left her married to Rick. She could have just come home to LA for a visit and went back to Paris to be Rick. It negated their whole love story for no good story reason.

I honestly don't remember them being a thing either.  You'd think they shared some epic love affair or something

Same for Taylor pushing for her son to go after Hope, who she has blamed for destroying Steffy and Liam's relationship, just so those two can get back together.  The twisted logic on this show is off the charts.

Quinn to Wyatt:  You should be with Flo!  She's a LOGAN! 

 

Since when the hell has Quinn been a Logan fan?  Good Lord. 

 

Kelly be walkin' and talking at 6 months old wearing her best Easter bonnet and dress. DAH DAH! DAH DAH!  This version of Thomas needs to be dead faster than Austin on Y&R. 

I love this show because I love seeing how bad it can get...

      I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

      And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.

      I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)

      There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.

      Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.

      It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
