I didn't understand what the implication was with the button because we know Belle didn't do it. My second guess was Claire. We know Ron loves D.I.D. stories so maybe Claire killed Charlie wearing Belle's coat and doesn't remember because she had a dissociative episode.

It is ballsy, but I love Lumi so I am okay with it.  Offscreen EJ is a drag...I really don't think Sami should be saddled with that baggage tbh. 

 

I am more of a Phloe fan, but I think Chloe is 1000 times more appropriate for Brady than Kristen.  I can never get that 1997 scene of ED's Kristen telling Brady she is his new mommy out of my head.

Haha... only in soap opera land can the kid whose diapers you changed grow up to become the love of your life

And yeah, I'm a Lumi fan too. This was a long time coming and I'm glad that it happened. But at the same time I am a little excited to see what's going to happen when nuEJ shows up.

I feel like people should be WAY more creeped out by Kristen and Brady, but they aren't.  Marlena is Kristen's bff, so    I am also excited about nuEJ.  I just never liked EJami.  Sami should be with Lucas.  She was never meant to be with the Austins or EJ's of the world.

During ED's first return as Kristen, when it was short-term and something of a ploy on her part, I liked Brady and Kristen. They had good chemistry; it was weird but it worked because it straddled a fine line between a scheme and some real passion and you could just enjoy a ride you knew was short-term.
When they started to want us to buy into it as a legitimate couple who is trying to make it for real and play them in stories over time is when they lost me. A fling? I was into it. A love story? no way.

Agreed.  I liked them at first.  I thought it was a great revenge plot by Kristen and ED and EM had good chemistry.  SH and EM don't really have much chemistry and they don't make sense as a couple or a love story.  Kristen should be a villian, plotting revenge against John/Marlena for all eternity, not whining about a kid she knew when he was a toddler.  Brady is no prize, but there are better options for him.

Dramatically I hope that either Claire or John killed Charlie. I'd love for Sami to secretly know it's one of them and be protecting them. The tension that would cause with Belle and Marlena and the extended family would be nice, considering they are so quick to judge Sami when she does something wrong. Especially if it's Claire, I'd love to see where it takes Belle and Sami's relationship.

Hat’s off to the scriptwriter.


Jackée’s delivery and facial expressions are A+.

 

All the soaps are bad, but only DAYS tries—and unlike GH, often succeeds—in entertaining.

Are Jack and Gwen kinda creepy to anyone else?  Their scenes are just weird. I could just be reading the room wrong, but they aren't hitting the father/daughter notes very well.

Also, WTH are Jarlena?  Just sleeping in?  Isn't Kristen worried about them walking into their own living room lol?  Or the other 40 people that live in Jarlena's penthouse?  It seems unnecessarily risky to go out of costume like that.

    • 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.
