Speaking of Forresters and family, the lacking of additional Forrester family members beyond Ridge’s family for the current Ridge/Brooke situation is both outright glaring and appalling. No Kristen to give both motherly and sisterly advice? No Bridget to be completely stunned/floored by Brooke & Deacon’s night together while harboring old feelings for Deacon herself? No RJ to beg his parents to stay together? No Rick, Thorne, and Felicia to conspire together to throw push Ridge & Brooke out of Forrester because of all the drama, with Rick especially tearing Ridge a new one? No Eric III, Dino, and Logan Knight to start the next generation of Forresters? Yeesh. 
 

I enjoy Grace though; a recast Zoe could make this story more whole though.

All of this, and it gulls me that the elephant in the room is that Steffy and Thomas are not even Forresters. When is this show going to use that to get them kicked out of the company?? Thorne can do that in a minute if they ever revisited how Ally really died, and This would be his ultimate payback for all the times Ridge caused him grief too.

LMAO it’s so easy to forget. I think the last time the Marone connection was stated was a few years ago when I can’t remember if it was either Rick or Bill (I’m 75% sure it was Bill) who said it while mocking Ridge. One of Thudley’s first “big shocking plot twists” that was a total dud; Ridge, like Phillip on GL remains the favorite golden boy of the family. Maybe if Stephanie was revealed to be Nick’s mother instead of Ridge being Massimo’s son and Jackie being Nick’s wife instead of mother it might have worked out better? 
 

But on the flip side I’ve seen a few people here and other places suggest the upcoming  “big shocking plot twist” is that Ridge is Eric’s bio son after all.

And what became of Diana Marone anyways?

People speculate about a lot of things but none of them are "unheard of" in daytime.
Ridge being Eric's son - besides being pointless if Stephanie is not around to react to it and pointless because the fact he isn't hasn't mattered for story at all for more than a decade - would be well within the bounds of having been done tons of time, even on this very show.

The only speculation I saw that doesn't read as something as having been done before was

but I would be confused where this would be coming from and what they would achieve with it other than

So I don't believe that rumor either.
I'll admit though they got me curious. It'd better be something fun AND actually shocking if they want to live up to their own hype.

 

Yes. I understand why Bell thinks Bridget has run her course but her absence during the current story is a HUGE missed opportunity. Hoping the upcoming cameo gives us a chance of a conversation between Bridget and Hope.
B&B has flaws but it has a fun history it could do a lot to write good dramatic soap scenes with heart for if it tried. I am all for camp but give us some character-building bones from time to time!

    • 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.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
