I’d love for Bridget to come back but I think Thudley really burnt through a lot of story with her. First he threw her at Ridge for the love of God knows why and then how many marriages/miscarriages with Nick did she have?

I don’t even remember how the Jackie/Owen/Bridget/Casper quad ended lol.

The Ridge/Bridget flirtation is in my top five of worst things to ever happen on a soap but, to be fair, I am positive that Jennifer Finnigan played Bridget when they tried to go there.
Talking about Nick, I don't necessarily miss him and it won't happen anyway but it is SO weird to me - if I take the BB universe at face value that he is Ridge's brother and the father of Brooke's son) that he is going completely utterly unmentioned.

I'm a little confused about Brooke's disdain for Deacon this time around. Deacon was around back in 2014-2016 and managed to form something of a relationship with Hope and mend fences with Brooke and they were all in a better place for the most part.... Are they pressing the reset button on that the way they did with Sheila by overlooking their previous stints just a few years ago?

In a way it was a nice little throwback for Deacon to initially attempt to stay sober….I remember during Deacon’s original run he was such a multi-layered character and villain. I always loathed what Y&R did with Deacon and his later B&B runs did with him.

LOL surprised Deacon hasn’t visited Quinn yet.

Deacon and Shelia have good chemistry and I enjoyed their scenes today. I liked how the meshed from this initially trading insults to them realizing they had wanting to have relationships with their children in common. I liked her laugh at the end and the way that Deacon was looking when she said they would both see their children. They are interesting together. I'm also really enjoying Deacon and Hope's interaction. AN's doe eyed version of Hope actually plays well against Deacon trying to better himself as a man. I believe them as a father and daughter, wanting to have a relationship. And I wish that Liam and especially Brooke/Ridge would have backed off at least some.

    • 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.
