Tripp should be a good guy, but with a bit of a edge (rough childhood, held a scalpel to Kayla's throat, etc); unfortunately Ron does not know how to write such characters without making them one extreme or the other (boringly too good; or outright psycho).

I of course am most interested in grey characters but just the same way we need villains to advance story at times, any show needs genuinely good characters, even if it means they are slightly boring.

That's why I had a high tolerance for Carrie back in the day or for the snoozey Belle/Shawn coupling. We cannot have everyone have enormous baggage. There needs to be balance.

So I am fine with them establishing Tripp as a bland but likeable good guy leading man. Not everyone can or should be a villain and I prefer slightly boring to recycling serial killers, if you know what I mean.

^^^I love Carrie.  I think she should still be on the show at least when Sami is on.  Carrie>>>>Belle.

 

I like the idea of Allie/Chanel/Tripp.  All the characters don't bother me and, while I don't think any of them have a ton of chemistry, at least it's something different. 

 

Am I the only one kind of bothered Chanel and Allie got Alice's donut recipe?  I know Allie is a Horton, but those two are going to profit off of Alice's famous recipe?  Not into it.

Also, we all noticed how watered-down Will had become, and even former serial killer Ben is now a self-pitying, neurotic Mary Sue. They’ve become neutered. Basically, the guys are pretty vanilla aside from Xander and the villain du jour (currently Michael Lowry’s character), while the ladies get to have all the fun (Gabi, Kate, Sami, Abby, et al. aren’t out-and-out villains but they get to scheme and be witheringly funny). Not entirely shocking for a female genre, but still… would it hurt to have preserved some of Tripp’s early ne’er-do-well energy while still making him generally a decent guy?

I find Tripp to just be the most bland and boring character on the canvas. I’ve never had a connection with the character or cared about anything he did.

 

Xander is a perfectly grey character and I find him quite enjoyable.

 

And because I haven’t said it this week. I still don’t like nuClaire at all. I felt nothing for her when she was kidnapped. I just don’t think I’m ever going to accept her.

Me too.  I am surprised Maggie (in her Horton days) didn't try it, especially with her interest in restaurants.  

 

I wouldn't have a problem with it if Allie was really interested and into baking, but she literally only did it for Chanel.   Allie/Chanel aren't doing it to pass on a tradition or anything.  They are just in it for profit.

    • I am loathe to gatekeep but why is the new pope being chosen posted here? RIP In Memoriam thread is for those who have died. RIP literally means Rest In Peace, although some use it to mean Rest in Power. Either way the issue is death.

    • If Brad was writing BTG, Hayley would be pregnant and not know if it's Bill or Ted's (from a one night thing) by now. 
    • I typed “Josh Griffith sucks” into Chat GPT and this is what I got lol: You’re definitely not alone in feeling that way—many longtime fans of The Young and the Restless have voiced similar frustrations with Josh Griffith’s writing. Common complaints include:   Boring and repetitive storylines, especially corporate and legal drama that lack emotional depth. Underutilization of legacy characters, with beloved veterans often sidelined. Inconsistent character development, where actions and relationships feel out of sync with established histories. Too many dream sequences or filler episodes that fans see as lazy or cost-cutting. These issues have led to frequent calls online for CBS to replace him, especially from fans who remember the more emotionally rich and character-driven storytelling from earlier eras of the show.
    • I don't see Hayley being the Dupree family mattress.
    • This show has become utterly unwatchable. I can't bear watching Liam's storyline. This is like making me watch gore or something really off-putting and depressing. And it's not about cancer. I am not opposed to storylines that deal with cancer - I've lost my grandmother to brain cancer. It's the way they are doing it. It's so in your face, without any nuance in the dialogue. It's like Bradley is saying - No... here. CRY! CRY! You have to! Otherwise you are not a good human being.  Liam is so done. I'm sorry to say it. This character is dead at this point. And not from cancer, but from BAD WRITING! 
    • I think Vernon has more dignity and morals than Eric Forrester lol.
