I was laughing when Marlena gave that heartfelt speech to like John, Roman, and her kids.  They could have invited a few more people.   I did enjoy Brady, Belle, Eric, and Sami in a room together.  That never happens.  And I love me some John, but is Drake getting more OTT everyday?  Even in the background he's making these odd faces and gestures.  Has he just given up on any semblance of dramatic acting and just moving into comedy?

I think the Tripp/Allie sex or love scene not being shown ... was a COVID thing.  That was filmed around the end of March or beginning of April.  Maybe the actors hadn't been vaccinated yet?

But that was fine with me. I have zero interest in that pairing.

I don't know why we had to see all those Kate/Jake sex scenes. Maybe the actors were quarantined, tested, and agreed to the risk? Or maybe they were actually kissing for only a few seconds but the film editing made it seem like more?

It's weird the disparity in love scenes.  John/Marlena are full on making out and I feel worried for them.  EJ/Sami are in bed together.   I honestly don't have much interest in the pairing, but it needed more.   I am certainly not wanting people to risk their health for entertainment, but it's a case where if they can't show anything due to health risks maybe they should have waited on the actual sex or put more depth into Allie having sex the first time post-rape.

Honestly, maybe.  It did feel like we were supposed to root for Chanel and I do.  I just think there is so much more to Allie/Trip with the rape, the baby, and now her willingly sleeping with him.  Even without a love scene it feels like this romance isn't even scratching the surface of all the issues.

I disagree lol.  Eli is the one who decides to be naked all the time when he knowingly has a house guest.  Chanel was just reacting normally to a naked hot guy.  She wasn't hitting on him IMO.  Chanel seems vaguely like a partier, but she doesn't really seem slutty to me.  She seems like she might just be a gold digger, but that's sorta how Allie was introduced as well.

I agree. And when Chanel hit on Theo a few days ago, it was her reacting to her own pain of Allie sleeping with Tripp.   And Chanel and Theo had a relationship in South Africa, so she wasn't hitting on some rando - and also Ciara didn't know that Theo had become involved with Ciara.

Not to be Professor Tsk-Tsk-Tsk here but "slutty" involves a judgement that is on the person who makes that call.
Chanel could very well be sexually promiscuous but my personal reaction would be: so? Good for her if she wants to enjoy her body with people she is attracted to. Anything that involves consenting adults is fine by me and it doesn't make the character a good or a bad person. 
I for one am all for a female character on soap having a happy busy sex life and not giving a f*** what others think.

    • 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.
