I've thought the last few episodes have been pretty decent. Although the constant talk about no drama and settling down, etc, was a bit overdone. Of course, that's never going to happen. I've found myself enjoying most of the scenes though without wanting to fastforward. 

For a show set around the fashion industry, it amazes me how poorly Ridge and Thomas are styled. Nothing about them looks "trendy". They look like they could have come from the 60's. Just putting them in a suit does not clean them up. Those in the fashion industry would realize that!

The choices for the wedding weren’t good. Hopes dress was terrible and Paris’s want much better. These ladies have great figures, it shouldn’t be difficult to dress them.  Brooke looked nice in her sparkly number. 
Thomas’s plus one was his man bun.

Speaking of Officer Byrd, Judge Judy's finalie should have been big, but there was no fan fare at all.

I get peacemaking but Hope is a bit too forgiving for agreeing to be Steffy's maid of honor. The gesture was nice though.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the rumors behind what Finn's dad suspicious behavior is about

We have talked many times about Bell's pacing but imagine how much more powerful Sheila's appearance would have been if we had been slowly treated to the mystery of his origins for months. If, even in a throwaway scene during the whole whos-the-father story, it had been hinted Finn might have a secret mother.
We literally met Finn's parents and even heard anything about his history three days ago. This is such bad pacing and plotting, sorry.

Word. Things just feel thrown in (see Justin’s sudden plot against Bill, which at least made *some* sense, yet it’s been seemingly abandoned). “Make it up as you go along” feels like the CBS way these days.

It is Bad Plotting 101 : Brad and Co. had brought on Finn to please most of the audience because they wanted Steffy with someone new (I did too) Yet, he didn't do any characterization for him in terms of his background. We don't even know if Finn is from California or back East? If we knew he was adopted since at least three months ago we could've gotten the mystery built up more. This felt like Brad had just thought out of this out of blue with no prior thought until a few months ago. 

I couldn't said it better myself.

    • Totally agree - we have much to learn about Vernon, and I'd love to see it.
    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • 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.
