That's all they do lol. I don't see how there can be any conflict between them, which is what soap opera is supposed to be, after this last year. All the cheerleading and destruction of other characters, if anything does end up coming between them, it just won't seem believable to me.

Definitely. I wish they had left him as a villain because he was actually a good one! This obsession with romanticizing villainous characters and giving them 'redemption arcs' that are contrived, unsatisfying and insubstantial is one of my ultimate pet peeves. Every thing Ben says sounds ridiculous and hypocritical because, y'know, he serial murdered a bunch of people. I need VK to leave and get some two-bit CW part so they can stop catering to that fanbase

I've been fast forwarding all the bedroom scenes. Makes the show so much nicer.

 

I haven't watched today yet but it's really refreshing seeing Nicole and Eric deal with something together. Amazing how they work well when the show doesn't have her lying to him every other day.

I feel that way too, same with Abby and Chad. Although, honestly I'm not finding much about the show to enjoy these days. The only thing I do find remotely interesting is Gabi being a conniving bitch, but she gets no real rivalry or good story.

I hate that they're not showing Gabi now.  While she was fooling everyone, it felt like she was on so much that it became very redundant... but the fallout SHOULD be so interesting, and we're not getting it.  As a group, Lani/Eli/Gabi/Chad/Abby/Sonny/Will have so much history and potential, and this Gabi situation is the perfect vehicle to do cool plot AND character stuff.  (I hate that JJ is gone now.)  And it would make the show "young"... I love the vets, but the young characters are seldom shown and oddly kept pretty separate.  This doesn't include Ben/Ciara, they are the very worst part of the show and couldn't leave soon enough for me.

 

I would love a Ben murder mystery.  And even though I've grown to really appreciate her (mostly through this story honestly), a Gabi murder mystery could be really amazing and moving.  But I know it would get so butchered, and murders on soaps never have the long-term consequences they should.

I really hope we get most of the Steve/Kayla/Justin (with Jack and Jennifer and John and Marlena supporting) story out of the way before StefaNo returns, because I’m still tired of him, probably because doesn’t-learn-jack Gabi had the same story twice in a row thanks to his rapist ass. And I still need more time before Gabi takes center stage again if she still hasn’t learned that revenge (especially when you put innocent people in the crossfire) isn’t necessarily the answer.

 

I am, however, relieved to be able to make a reasonable assumption that the Steve story will be moving along and not wasting even more time on ground that has already been tread upon.

 

Also, I can’t wait for Xander to get his. I’ve been waiting for this since he got away with being fully gung ho on moving Sarah’s fetus into Kristen’s uterus.

 

Jeez, this show is ridiculous.

So it was looking like the baby reveal would happen at Sarah/Xander's wedding, but instead the revelation was so anticlimactic.  It would've been so much better if everyone found out when Nicole stops the wedding......then she reveals the DNA test.....then she brings out Dr Raynor......then Victor is busted too.......DAYS had a huge bullet with this baby switch and they totally misfired.

    • 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.

    • 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.
    • I cannot believe there is a whole storyline about the Abbott house renovation. They really are grasping over at Y&R. I don’t see a big difference in the set. It is refreshed. Why make a storyline out of it? 
    • Cady is using what sounds like a transatlantic accent which is so odd these days. Sharon's hostility is entertaining already. That look she gave Anita when she opened the door was pure attitude.
    • Glad you agree about Chandler’s smirking. It’s the reason I criticize him. He hasn’t grown as an actor, unfortunately. I don’t fawn over him because of his looks. I wish he’d never appear until he loses his smirking style of acting.  Dee is doing a great job but yes, the story with the bandages isn’t the best. I get it- Drake wasn’t available and its a throwback to how John came to Salem, but it’s tough to get into the scenes when we know it’s not Drake under the bandages. 
    • From that same channel, Anything For Love, which failed to make NBC's 1985-86 schedule. With all due respect to Lauren Tewes and Vicki Lawrence, that this was under consideration seems less about their star power and/or chemistry and more that NBC wanted its own Kate & Allie. Still, kudos to Lauren for being rehabilitated enough in one year to already go on the comeback trail.
