Jenny Bransford still very much looks like herself. Looks like she's been busy in the Social Education Field over the last few years.

I think SJB still looks like herself but she definitely lost a ton of weight - perhaps having celiac disease might have something to do with it?

No one is asking them to be at her bedside, but they at least could've shown Cam or Joss talking through the door asking if Trina is all right? While they could've had Trina say something like "Yeah" or they could've had said that they checked on her offscreen, and she was asleep. 

This makes me wish they would bring in another young adult male onto the scene to mix it up with Trina. Causing Spencer to be like "What is happening?" And this one wouldn't be interested in Josslyn romantically either. But we know that's not happening anytime soon. 

I also think the issue is they write the teens on this show like they're 15 or 16 and not 18 or 19 in college. And I do think it's weird they never have Trina tell off Esme everytime Esme say something cunning to her.

100%.  Trina is much better and more interesting than Joss.

Could be.  My sister was diagnosed with Celiac's disease and she lost a lot of weight because it's just so limiting on what you can eat. 

Yeah.  They should have checked on her.  It just really wasn't something that I noticed or bothered me, so I was curious why it was bothering others.

A lot has gone wrong in this teen storyline, but I think this was just the last straw for a lot of fans (me included). They brought Spencer on and had him immediately click with a Trina, teasing that couple all summer long. As they’re about to have their first kiss, they bring on his long-term girlfriend and that’s the story for the next six months. 

I’m sure SM’a schedule hasn’t helped, but it feels like a bait and switch. Having Trina be absent for the culmination of the cabin trip, where Esme finally gets told off, was just bad storytelling. But to me it also feels like a sign of where this story is going. I know GH does this all the time, they take potentially great stories or pairings and throw them away. Doesn’t make it less annoying.

I do think Trina/Spencer is where the show is going it's just taking a while and it's lost its momentum some what.

All the teens are decent and I think SM and WL are a cut above, but I have trouble seeing any of them leading the show in the way it was obvious KMc or JJ could immediately.  I think you could tell someone like SBu was very capable even when Jason Q was a bore. Even if Vanessa was a green actress in the beginning you could tell she was a star in about 5 scenes.  Eden McCoy has been leading stories for several years now and the fact is she's just bland.   I think EM would work much better in a supporting role and Trina should be the lead, but I think that's the general consensus of this entire board lol.

Yeah, you all are making me dread these scenes when I get to them. Even sounds like there is some bit of backlash online, too.

 

To think I was excited for the teens to make it to that cabin they have been building up to for months and it goes bad wrong, not soap bad wrong.

 

Well, I'll judge it when I get there.

 

I did go ahead and watch the first few minutes of the Chase in black boxer briefs clip online. Black socks. My kind of man. lol.

They're all pretty green except Lipton, who is susceptible to bad habits picked up from older hams. I think he's the most skilled but Mikayla and Chavez are enjoyable and charismatic and have a ton of potential, plus they're not chained to Joss. McCoy is passable at best. Still, overall it's the strongest talent GH has had in a youth scene since the 2000s.

Ha I never thought of It that way before but I can definitely see Lipton having picked up some chewing the scenery habits from RoHo. I agree though they’ve got some nice talent to develop here. We were quite spoiled in the 90s with Kim Mc, JJ, Amber, Becky and even Steve Burton back then.

    • 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 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.
    • 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.
