Just saw that, yeah. If it’s reasonably successful, maybe they’ll do a DAYS universe on Peacock of spin-offs (and provide a roadmap for the other soaps). And, more importantly, give the genre an off-ramp…

This Shawn and Sam stuff is unbelievably stupid. Sam knows that Nik was responsible for Hayden's shooting! This is a storyline that played out on screen just a few years ago. There were scenes where Sam confronted Nikolas about it. Drew also knew. Laura knows. Liz knows. Curtis knows. I believe Finn knows. Literally there was a story where like half the town figured out it was Nik. Are we supposed to pretend that stuff never happened? Unless this somehow leads to Sam finding out she has a brain tumor that's causing amnesia, her investigating Hayden's shooting makes no sense. Do they not have anything better for Sam to do? KeMo looked good in her swimwear though (duh). Why was Shawn wearing a shirt?

Also, someone explain to me how Ryan is at this spa prison for non-violent criminals with Alexis. Please! What's next, is Cyrus going to be there? I love JL playing Ryan and am interested in seeing what happens with this, but come on.

I like the idea of Britt and Terry running the hospital together, but this would've played a lot better had we ever seen any kind of conflict/animosity/rivalry between them before now. Terry throwing shade at Britt just feels random because we've never really seen them interact and don't really know why Terry doesn't like her other than the usual "omg she's the Britch, so evil." Also, how in the world did Terry know about Jason/Britt? Stupid! But I'm all for more airtime for Terry and her and Britt working together/fighting... just make it make sense. I also had to roll my eyes at Monica saying that if Britt doesn't accept the offer, they'll have to look for another chief of staff. Uh, why wouldn't they just give the job to Terry then if Britt doesn't want it? Silly.

I enjoyed Liz telling Jason about Peter finally. Also, the look on Jason's face when Britt was rambling on about the toothbrush head was hilarious. Britt, I doubt Jason knows what Venmo is.

Nina/Mike... zzzz! I'm so over it. I barely pay attention to their scenes at this point honestly. They felt so out of place today.

My assumption is that Nicholas Bechtel lost the role because he didn't shoot up in height fast enough to play a contemporary of Joss, Cameron and Trina.

The new guy is alright but he lacks the puckish charm that NB brought to the character. And he doesn't have the high hair.

Thats a new character though and GH has done this since 2008. The fact that in story multiple people know Nik had Hayden shot and they are playing as Nik is only aware now makes no sense

Unless its gonna come out that her Mom or ex husband had her shot, The one Nik put in motion never happened

    • 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.
