It didn't make sense because the Christmas episode wasn't a true stand alone. If Tracy was only in the dream section then no harm, but having the wrap arounds at the hospital before and after made it not a stand alone. (That said glad that Monica was reading.)

Even though I haven’t see a full view yet, I don’t hate the colors at all.  But while watching today’s show, I noticed that light green color on several sets.  A hospital wall, a small panel next to Anna’s desk at her house.

 

It’s like the blue invasion of about 3 years ago.  For a minute there, everything was blue.  Now I guess we are going various shades of light green.

 

I do think the show has some really excellent sets right now.  But they are also all starting to look generic.

That was my take. Better him than Howarth. Still tragic. I didn't watch it. I have it on the DVR. Some soap twitter folks were praising it. But I guess it shows when you put effort into the show, it shows.

 

Did she get a freshening up. But yeah I've noticed a difference too from when she started to now. Maybe GH is exhausting to work on? LOL

 

No lies here. The Queen has returned and she looks gorgeous. I'm happy the first person she saw at the Q mansion was Brook Lynn. I never knew I needed Amanda Setton as Brook Lynn but I'm here for it.

 

Remember under Frank/Ron when Kelly's got a makeover with lots of green panels on the wall (it didn't look horrible but it was kinda bad) and they ended up lessening the green panels. Guess they must have pulled them out of storage, lol. I like the new look. I'm a bit thrown by the staircase and door being moved but it kinda works. I'm not sure on the modern furniture but that's only because it's such a huge change from the old. At least it shows they're invested in the set, I suppose.

 

It was forced. But I wonder if they're name dropping him on purpose. I doubt they ever undo his death but I suppose they could (again). I don't see why they'd bother but I wish they would. But not so he can be trashed over and over again. Just leave him dead and buried. We should have been watching AJ all of these years instead of them propping and forcing Franco and Howarth down our throats. Imagine AJ being "redeemed" through Liz? AJ saving Cameron and losing his memory? THAT would be interesting to watch. And it would force Jason and AJ to interact. History. Heaven forbid we use it.

Very random thought while watching: I just realized Alexis almost NEVER has scenes with her grandkids. I know Sam's her daughter but I always forget she's Danny and Scout's grandmother. I get why they pawn them off on stable Monica but lol ... seeing her with them today was strange.

 

I also don't give a [!@#$%^&*] that Scout misses her mother. lol. Maybe actually showing Sam with Scout at more than the holiday's or once or twice a year would help ... (Sam never needed kids, IMO, but then again, Sam was never needed period). God I miss when soaps really made us care (both good and bad) about these characters. I really couldn't give two shits about most of them on all the soaps at this point.

lol when Jason said grandma was coming to get the kids I assumed he meant Monica. Alexis showed up and I was like what? Oh yeah, she's their grandma too.

 

I honestly forgot about Sam being in prison. The break from her was nice.

 

Does ANYONE care about this Gladys crap? I don't know who this woman is, I don't care about the drama with her.

There is no character on this show.  Everything is bland.  The only real emotion I saw was from Alexis when Sam arrived home.  NLG was still selling SOAP OPERA.

 

I like the new Quartermaine decor.  But without Tracy and any of the core family there it could be any nice house.  I hate they moved the staircase, because now that wall where the door used to be looks strange and empty.

 

And Jane and LC were playing their real life emotions.  I can’t with Tracy and Monica hugging and smiling so much.  I get that they had removed all the edges from Tracy but still.  Love Jane, love her natural hair.

 

Everything is just off, and has been for a long time.  Jason smiling.  Ned helping him.  Tracy smiling with genuine happiness.  All these bland kids.  Carly and Sonny stuck in the thinnest of stories with Mike and that annoying woman.

 

The people writing this show have no idea how to write for these characters.

 

Sonny is dangerous.  Carly is impulsive. Jason is caught between them and dealing with their worst instincts.  Everyone is so domesticated, even if it doesn’t suit them.

I appreciate their efforts in trying to inject some emotional reality (for lack of a better word) into the concept of "memory mapping," but...it's still bullshit.

    • 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.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
