A black woman goes on a sleep over with about 5 or 6 white "friends".  At the end of the night, she's dead, no one knows what happened and the case is closed.  

A black man from PA goes on a cabin trip with 4 co workers and he's dead on the front lawn from 9 bullets the next morning.  No investigation.

The optics with this cabin mess are alarmingly bad!  

However, folks are not realizing the purpose of having Trina drugged.  It's a legit reason to remove her from the story with the other 4.  She is not important enough to be in the meaty scenes.  She is THAT irrelevant to her own future pairing and story.  Joss is supposed to be the center teen but Trina is outshining her.  Frank is rerouting viewers back to Joss by having Joss go to bat for Trina and now being taped while having sex.  There are no words to properly describe my complete disgust.   Spencer leaving with his tail between his legs after realizing someone may need to check on Trina?  Next level TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!   If I were a Sprina fan (never was), I wouldn't be after that.  

Then you have Joss' first time happen the same time her friend who's not feeling well is passed out in another room where no one checks on her?  TIIC were going for Sonny/Ava screwing in a crypt type of vile with this one.

Who knows what goes on in people's personal lives?  It's probably best for both that it's not legal, although it's really odd to have an elaborate wedding for it to be for show.

You are right.   I was generally curious to hear other peoples points of views.  I wasn't trying to be disrespectful.  I thought the teens were just being dumb and didn't think about the entire view of the situation.

It’s bad. I was very curious as to why Trina completely disappeared after being *drugged* and feeling poorly, while her besties and love interest behaved as if she didn’t exist. Not even Esme checked on her to see how her nefarious plans were working, if I recall correctly. I was baffled, but saw the online outcry and felt validated. Beyond even the bad optics, it’s nonsensical.

I have never been willing to believe Nelle was intended to be Nina's definitive daughter because it made no sense to sacrifice a family tie on a dead character.

And when Willow overheard Nina/Sonny and ended randomly being the one to blow the whistle on them, I raised an eyebrow.

Consider both my eyebrows raised now.

What was the point of Trina even going on the trip if she wasn’t going to be central to the action?  I hate this.  Another promising actor and character and the show can’t make it work.

Also- in what world is this compelling television?  The chemistry is there with Cam and Esme, and Spencer and Trina.  Instead Joss is the centerpiece again.

When Stanford was there and fighting with teacher Willow it was like a giant neon light was above her head saying I am your daughter.

Ooooh how I hollered at Finn paying Peter dust. I loved Martin talking common sense to him as well.

 

But...dare I say it...are we going to give Liz a storyline. This ring. The arson. Talk of her Dad. Or am I just hoping?

 

Though I love them together and it had a nice build...I liked someone (in this case Dante) having the 'can you truly trust Valentin' talk with Anna. 

 

I continue to love how much Felicia we are seeing. Given how she's been here and there and mostly unavailable when Maxie needed her, to see her all over the place has been awesome.

    • 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.
