The story involving Amanda's family has been an afterthought. The trial excerpts were beyond awful. Amanda and Michael in a panelled corner. C'mon. This is THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, not local city hall coverage. Josh Griffith has done poorly by Amanda and her offscreen family. At least GENERAL HOSPITAL has a courtroom set, a judge, a prosecutor and a bailiff. Shame on CBS and Y&R.

 

The momentum for good story was there, but the writers dropped the ball. Imani could be a great addition. Naya could be working with Nikki on charity functions. The never cast husband (Paging Rif Hutton <cough>) should be on, resenting Amanda. It doesn't take a genius to make this story work, just some interest.

So sad to read about Jerry Douglas passing away, and so soon after his birthday. I'm sure there will be an in memoriam segment in the next few days.

Precisely.

i haven't watched since the wedding and reading synopses etc, apart from Chance's 'death' I have missed nothing.

The same character, conversations.

I did skim through the Wed episode.

OMG the 'courtroom' scenes were an embarassment-that whole story is played like an outline. There is potential but its not explored.

Jessie Gaines gets a hotel room hideaway but they won't do an office set for characters (Jack,Lauren,sally,Chloe,Michael, Devon etc) that are wandering around empty restaurants.

Noah has been back a few weeks and all we've got so far is some vague backstory.

Faith/Moses has received no play.

Abby and that damn doll.

Most of the female characters are dressed like hookers.

I will tune in to see new Chance and Jill.

   Jason Thompson is the best actor in the role of Billy period IMHO.  Lily is NO twit.  The writers and exec producer of the show are ruining several characters --- Billy, Nick, Sharon, lesser degree Lily, Mariah.  I do think the baby Dominic storyline is very,very lousy as is almost everything written for this show.

    • 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.
