Today's episode was such filler.  Boring.  Nice to see Kate interacting with her son for once.  

This Jake/Gabi stuff is so stupid.

Chloe/Brady/Phillip start and stall a lot.  

I have no idea why Nicole would plead her case to Roman.  He obviously would have strong feelings against adultery.  Marlena would have been the better choice.  She is much more aware of Sami's faults and might be a little more forgiving about cheating. 

Ava and Rafe continue to be stupid.  Can't Ava do something evil?  She's so boring and doesn't even interact with her son.  Or anyone she used to.

Yeah, today's episode was really boring. I was disappointed when I realized Johnny and Chanel weren't on.

The Ava/Rafe drama is so lame. Rafe's pairings never work. Why is he still on the show? He is a sorry excuse for a leading man. And I agree that they've watered down Ava too much. Can she please do something besides cook in Rafe's kitchen? She should be causing trouble. The Ava/Rafe/Nicole triangle is a snooze. I did laugh at Gabi pushing Nicole to go to Rafe's just to create drama.

Glad to finally see Kate. Philip needs a haircut BADLY. How are they letting him go on camera like that?

I totally zoned out during today's episode. It took me 30 minutes to realize that Chloe and Brady were on. And Roman. Oh look, Nicole is crying again. This episode was SO boring. Lol. It desperately needed someone fun to spice it up. Paulina, Big Mama, Chanel... anyone.

I agree with this. Now that Peacock is available on Fire Stick's, I've been catching up since I prefer to watch on my TV and June was such a strong month not having to see Ben or Ciara. I accept that they're popular, but they really are such a dull couple and dull characters for me personally. I don't even care about his past, I just find them boring in general. 

I'm so late so I won't go into detail, but I've been loving the show once they wrapped up Charlie's death story. I'm not almost to the Olympic break and I love that the Carver/Price families are real movers and shakers and not just a once a week thing like you'd get on Days or in the background like on GH. The show has integrated them well. nuEJ doesn't bother me too much, but doesn't make much of an impact. I'm very curious to see where he will be in six months time. 

Now I just need to get through August and I should be caught up in time for Beyond Salem! I'm glad the spin-off is happening at a time when the show is actually good. Makes it more exciting.

I like Raven Bowens/NuChanel and Carson Boatman is adorable as Johnny. I love seeing Johnny with Tony and Anna today. And Dan has made me interested in EJ. Miracles happen. Kudos to casting.

 

Agreed that Chanel and Tripp have some chemistry. But she also has it with Johnny and Allie.

 

Calista Lockhart?

 

Really Ron

 

LOL I can't

Today’s episode was enjoyable. I’m really liking the direction they’ve taken Johnny and EJ’s relationship. At first I had hoped he’d be a troublemaker, and he could still be down the road, but I like how doesn’t want to be a chip off the old block like his father. DF has also won me as EJ and it’s the scenes that he has with Johnny that have really helped solidify that.

    • 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.
