I'm looking forward to the island story. Seems like an old school 'adventure' without the budget. Glad we finally saw Sarah. Reminded me of the Hope reveal at Maison Blanche. I'm excited for Sarah and Abby to see each other. I like that it isn't all Kristen. Half this mess was made by Gwen and Ava who I'm also enjoying together. As absurd as it is I'm enjoying it.

I've already voiced my opinion on Craig and Nancy. They needed to tell the story differently or use a different couple.

The devil is lame. They should've written him like True Blood's Maryann, demon succubus feeding on dark energy throwing the town into angry, violent orgies by the end. Like Trump but with balls.

Still loving Stacy's Kristen.

Who wrote today? There was some bad dialogue.

We had Nancy talking about how she loves that Craig is a REAL MAN... inferring that he's not a real man because he's secretly gay. 

Then we had Chloe talking about how Craig was always "different" from the other dads because he enjoyed opera and what not. Stereotype much? It is hard to believe that a gay man is the headwriter of this show. 

There was also a line where Roman essentially said he hopes EJ gets raped in prison. I get that EJ is a rapist himself and that Roman has every reason to dislike him, but really? Roman has too many women close to him who have been raped for them to have him making jokes like that. They could've left that line out or just have him say he hopes EJ gets beat up.

Lol!  Brady likes signing, musicals, opera and all those things-the person Chloe was married to and talking to.  Stupid dialogue and stupid reasoning.  

Roman had some weird lines today.  The EJ ones and the initial Nancy/Craig stuff.  He's still mad on Carrie's behalf about something they did 20 years ago?  I don't think Carrie even cares anymore and hasn't for about 19 years lol.

I don't know what to think about Sarah's behavior.  I am slightly interested in this.

And Xander proposing to Gwen with Sarah's ring.  The show isn't even pretending we should root for Xander/Gwen.  Talk about the tackiest, most insensitive thing.

As Ryan Murphy and the talentless hacks at Riverdale show, gay men are happy to push anti-gay imagery and gay stereotypes. This is the same moron who had gay men faking hate crimes to get a boyfriend, and trying to sexually assault straight men in-between Golden Girls marathons. He is shameful and does nothing but perpetuate the easy contempt many straight people have for gay men. He treats them as "others," as weird, pathetic, and a joke. I hope all the people at sites like Daytime Confidential who blew his ego up with no real  cause are happy - then again, I guess one of them has a job there...

In that case, Dr. Frasier Crane and his brother, Niles, have a ton of explaining to do, lol.

Now we understand why he was always so desperate to get John back under his control.

    • Totally agree - we have much to learn about Vernon, and I'd love to see it.
    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • 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 know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • 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.
