So... are they ever going to follow up on Allie and Chanel's kiss?

Ben is back to getting fast forwarded. Can't stand watching him and his sessions with Marlena. Claire is close to being FF material as well. Everyone telling Ciara that she doesn't belong with Theo and should be with a serial killer instead is ridiculous!

Who is dressing Nicole lately? Her outfits have been horrible. Good to see her with Theo though.

Yeah, it was like the air was let out of the balloon/tire, so to speak LOL. It was like they gave up and simply reunited Wilson and wrote them off. I know Christopher Sean left but I still question the total missed potential of Will/Paul/Sonny. 

 

I can't even count on two hands the missed potential DAYS has wasted over the years. I don't get my show sometimes. Even Twitter is seeing that not much substance is here to be found, nothing really matters and it's almost like the show has been in a holding pattern for years.

 

Hopefully having a longer renewal allows them some room to mix things up.

 

And I have to say, as a writer, Ron is a massive tease. I know some of it is budget restrictions and poor management but still ... 

 

The show has the cast and potential. Story ideas, on paper, aren't bad. But the execution often lacks. I don't feel like these soaps have time to waste anymore, if you will.

And you just nailed why I tuned out awhile ago and watch classics instead now. I realized a year or so into Ron's run, almost NOTHING matters long-term. Why should I invest in a story if I know it's not going to significantly impact anything six months from now?

Absolutely.

 

Had the show on live the other day and saw Marlena with Ben and turned it off. Like ... she has several kids and grandchildren on the canvas and her airtime goes to Ben? Can we stop trying to make this serial killer happen?

Marlena was on 2 times this week I think.  And one time was with Ben.  And the other time she talked to John about Ben lol.  Marlena's related to half the canvas.  It's odd she rarely sees her family.  And it's annoying she correlates her and John to Ben/Ciara.   Not the same in any capacity lol.

Pretty sure they're referring to when Daniel Goddard was fired, fans revolted and demanded his return, so Goddard was re-hired in this piss poor twin storyline, which ultimately became the story that Cane was never actually killed.

Well, they did let Robert Scott Wilson go before... but Ron Carlivati's desire for the stereotypical "hot" guy redemption story is what's keeping Ben and Wilson around.

To be clear, it wasn't "fans" who revolted.
It was a small group of HIS fans that HE riled up through his social media and who campaigned so aggressively for his return that producers yielded, despite the fact most of the show fandom was actually fine (if not happy) to see him go.
Similarly I suspect the vocal Ciara/Ben supporters give the show a misguided sense of where the general fandom is at.
 

The Ciara pairing wasn't a thing then so I don't think things would go the same. VK left of her own accord which makes it hard for their fans to scream and shout but they are still hanging on to the hopes that her regular returns are feeding. Firing RSW would be a too-clear sign that it ain't happening

I don't even know what their relationship is.  Are they friends, is it doctor/patient, is it maternal?  It's weird is what it is.  I wouldn't mind just the dr./patient thing, but she treats him like a friend.  It's stupid we waste the one or two episodes DH is in on this nonsense.  Ben is just repeated the same things he has being saying for months.

    • 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.
