Brooke and her LOVES??? Her only only... toxic... but love was queen Stephanie. This was the moment to bring back Susan Flannery for one episode... Her giving Brooke advice and telling her to fight for Ridge... Maybe even slapping her one last time... Only in dreams... But we saw these clownish 5 men... It looked perverse... at one point she was like... Ooooh so sweet... Thank you for filling my time.... but I really... want Ridge. Laughable.

The show has aged so bad. It needs plastic surgery and dementia medication.

I'm watching it again. I think because I stopped it on the credits it still appears for me but when i look at B&B main episodes page it's gone.

I agree and your idea would've been better.

My idea was the anniversary was about Forrester Creations and not Brooke. It would featured Eric happy yet sad without Stephanie with him. He and Brooke look back at all the people that came into their lives over the 35 years.

I was able to watch it on YouTube TV and I must say that even though he may have a few screws loose it was good to see Harmon as Thorne in the flesh again, the scenes with him and KKL felt very warm and at this point I wouldn’t mind having Harmon back as Thorne.

However the scenes with Nick complete with a Jack Wagner song playing over the montage were downright EMBARRASSING…..

Eric’s comment about 35 years made me think of the show existing on a sliding time scale like comic books do lol. In retrospect perhaps B&B should have never SOARSed the kids

Haha yeah WH is, but his real downfall was his public intoxication arrests, urinating in public, and I think something else in 2016? Oh and Thudley thought he was boring.

Harmon did give a nice interview with SOC a couple days ago:

Ho yes the Nick scenes we’re cringeworthy but hey with it being the 35th anniversary I suppose it was to honor the very cringeworthy years of 2006-2010? Because that montage straight out of the period.

Thanks! So it's basically a publicist/host hyping up a story...I never buy into those. I also never buy into actors being wow-ed by a twist. They have different barometers for what's exciting for the viewers.

Lol. Wagner and KKL was definitely a far cry from the warm & fuzzy nostalgic moment that WH and KKL had. And Brooke told Nick that she likes to read how famous he’s become….really??

Personally I would have cut the Nick & Bill scenes in favor of someone at the show convincing Flannery to appear for a single episode unless

I will go to my grave arguing that while I get Brooke/Ridge as the end game, Thorne was the best pairing Brooke had.
Spending two years making me root for them only to break them up in a week because of an off-hand comment Brooke made is still one of my bitterest soap moments ever.

Speaking of Trump, Nick and his haircut kinda resembled The Donald, at least from the back.

Deacon, Whip, and Grant should have been included. Not necessarily as loves bus as some of her men, like GH did for Brenda upon her return.

    • 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.
