Dull actor, dull character.

 

Just thinking how the marriage of Sharon/Rey was pointless. They're already having problems.

The whole story would have been more dramatically effective if their mutual reluctance to marry came into play.

Sharon, because she's already had umpteen marriages and is conflicted about her relationship with Adam.

Rey, because he's already had a bad marriage and Sharon has the above listed issues.

The inevitable split wouldn't leave Sharon with yet another divorce on her scoreboard.

 Rey has lost his family and work connection, so he could be dropped with little fallout.

It’s funny back during 2007-2010 I just didn’t care for Bryton or the character of Devon at all but grew to love and appreciate him since then. I blame all of it on idiotic writing.

 

Rey has been basically a Dylan replacement this whole time. With the news about Sasha Calle and the fact both Calle &  Vilasuso’s contracts are up this year means it’s the end of the Rosales clan. We’ll probably end up with Dylan returning again as soon as Rey leaves to cause conflict for Adam & Sharon.

Seeing Bill (who I cant stop calling Brad) and Lauren was cool. As someone said it felt natural and energetic. I could stomach that pairing. Bill is an a***h**** annoying villain, but I'd like to see him give Victor and Jack hell!

 

Characters getting married so willy-nilly becomes tiresome and repetitive. It dulls the impact of the relationship and or eventual breakup. Nothing wrong with just having them date. 

 

As for Brighton James, it feels like they just have black actors there for affirmative action purposes. They get no interesting story lines, and haven't really had any interesting cast hires since Drusilla got killed off. I was never really into Hillary but I feel like she could have done well as an antagonist to Dru and Olivia. I miss the days lf Malcom, Dru, Neil, Olivia, Alex, Callie, Keesha, Nathan etc...

I very much dislike Steve Burton - both him and his acting - but once Dylan was Paul and Nikki's son, I am OK with the character being on the canvas and getting an actual actor who can act in the role might make him slightly more interesting. It'd be Rey but with ties to the rest of the characters. 
Imagine the current storyline, flaws and all, but with the added wrinkle that the man Sharon is playing around on with Adam is Nikki's son and you immediately get at least a couple extra fun scenes out of it.


And unpopular opinion: almost all her storylines were duds but I love Jessica Collins very much and I wouldn't mind having Avery back, especially if she is written like she initially was.

I wouldn't mind Jessica Collins on Bold and Beautiful as a recast for Kristen Forrester. But I know Brad would get bored with her and Kristen in about three months due to his legendary short attention span for characters that aren't Liam/Steffy/Hope merry-go-round.

This show is really starting to tick me off.  They'll drop a bomb at the end of an episode.  You expect them to deal with the fallout in the next episode and they don't.  Sally tells Summer that Bill Spencer can ruin your life or whatever and we don't even get to hear Summer reacting to this the day after.   Faith shows Sharon the Shadam picture and they don't even show Sharon trying to lie her way out of it in the next episode. They always drop these major shockers on us and then they abandon those scenes altogether.  It's like lazy writing.

    • 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.
    • 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.
