The Ford gay brothers. They arrive in Salem to stir up trouble. It's a fight to the finish as Will, Sonny, Leo and Craig try to snatch one up!

We knew it would happen but I don't like that Shawn is being painted as the bad guy when he was actually sexually assaulted by Jan. This is silly. And we all know where this is heading - Shawn's "betrayal" will send Belle right into EJ's arms. They couldn't come up with a better way for that affair to happen? 

Ciara and Ben are truly pointless. I was too lazy to FF them today but all they did the whole episode was makeout and grope each other. There is zero storyline here. 

I really don't get why Clyde is back. 

Rafe and Nicole, ew. 

I am grateful that there was no devil or child-Sarah today.

Yeah, hopefully Belle grows a pair of balls and stands up to Jan.

If I was Belle, I would've taunted the hell out of Jan and gloated about how I was going to take the baby and raise it as my own and make sure that Jan is declared an unfit mother lol I am looking forward to EJelle, but I agree that it should have happened more organically. Maybe have Shawn confess immediately that he slept with Jan. Have Belle put on a brave face but deep down she's struggling with the revelation. And with Jan being pregnant, that could affect her even more. Eventually, she gets a sympathetic ear from EJ, which leads to her getting something else from him

I've said in the DAYS spoilers that it's hard for me to take this Belle/Shawn storyline seriously as this incident with Jan happened on their wedding anniversary in December. They both CHOSE NOT to talk about the occurrence and both swept it underneath the rug as if it never happened. In real life, if I were a therapist, and if I had clients who's marriage was in possible turmoil, I would ask them simple questions. The most important question, I believe would be: Why did the both of you choose not to communicate with each other?  In general, relationships involve communication constantly. Going back to DAYS, and I don't mean to sound like an elementary school teacher here. Belle saw what she saw. Shawn saw what he saw when "Belle" morphed into Jan Spears. Why would they choose blissful ignorance? Why would they not talk about it? As a wife, Belle witnessed something that broke her heart and couldn't figure out why there was a look alike kissing her husband on her wedding anniversary. Shawn, on the other hand (and as Belle's spouse), was sexually assaulted. Yet, Belle goes on with life being EJ's attorney while Shawn continues his civic duty by protecting the citizens of Salem. Even if I belonged in some crazy-ass Shelle fan club in a trailer park in Biloxi, Mississippi, even I couldn't wrap my head around this nonsense. 

And just when I thought we were rid of Ben and Ciara's former sh!thole studio apartment. Ugh. However, I did laugh out loud when Gabi and Jake were having a personal conversation and Ava was sitting in her bed attire. Gabi looks at Ava and goes: "Do you mind? Could you -- can I speak to Jake alone? Would you mind?"  Where was Ava supposed to go? What other viable options would she have besides the cockroach infested hallway or the bathroom?

As usual, when it comes to this show, I'm confused.

How did Jan become pregnant with Shawn's baby when Shawn slept with the devil, who only morphed into Jan in order for Shawn to betray Belle?  Is this the real Jan, or is this the devil taking yet another form?

    • 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.
