For most of her run I was fine with her. Not a fan but she was decent enough. Not Emmy-worthy at all but the stupidity of the Emmys isn't on her and she was fine.

I think what soured everyone was not so much Nik/Emily who, as overplayed as they were, made sense story-wise.
It was Sonny/Emily. Fair or not, there was no coming back from that.

Sonny and Emily were bad.  I don't necessarily think there was no coming back from that though.  It was generally something that happened that was never spoken of again once they broke up.  It was very creepy, but it's basically all but ignored now.  I thought her and Nik and all their stupid romance stories were more obnoxious.  But Soily was obviously more reviled and offensive.  Anyway, I think Emily/NL were fine and there is still a place for her on the canvas, but, oh well, it's not to be I guess.

Have y’all seen all the Twitter drama? I’ll admit to being shocked. I wonder how that set is...

 


Then you have Steve Burton clearly making a white power gesture in a scene (while sitting next to a black woman). Many tried to claim it was fake, but people have posted video to prove that isn’t the case.

As a Jewish dude I am obvs sensitive to the kind of wink-nod Nazi shít we see IRL all the time now with racists trying to be cute. But I can't see enough of his hand or the angles there to be certain it isn't just how he positioned himself. My hands do weird stuff sometimes too. I have no doubt Big Steve could be full MAGA but I am not gonna Da Vinci Code that without seeing more.

 

That Ingo/Mo shít needs disciplining though. Frank won't do a thing.

This is Maurice’s response, which is odd considering it’s underneath Nancy saying she was offended. He should’ve just kept his mouth shut. 
 

 

These soap stars need to be careful. The press has given them a pass for so long, but all it takes is one story going viral and that could be the end of their career.

What saddens me is that everytime NLG calls them out, she is the one that is made to take her Tweets down and say she was drunk (which to be fair she sometimes is when she is bolder about calling some costars out).
It is the old stereotype of the nut-busting angry nagging liberal harpie winning over the trash that the cast is filled with.

 

Storywise, you are right. I was more talking about her popularity in the fandom. That's, from my recollection, when the irritation became genuine dislike for her, fair or not.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • 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?
