Nik really is stupid enough to think he’s playing Esme but then end up sleeping with her. Avery Pohl is so good though. Her little grin yesterday when Spencer took off and left her with Nik was adorable. 

Kelly Monaco cannot say the word Cassadine. The struggle was real.

Wow what a ride!

 

I really can't believe that Harmony is gone. All the possibilities that the writers were setting up. That said...her unraveling has been fun to watch. My only disappointment is that NLG couldn't be around for it, but I really love the temp and she really does a good job embodying Alexis to me. But anything that involves Alexis and Carly teaming up is not going to be boring. And now Carly has a secret over Nina. Again. Lord.

 

But I have to admit it continues to surprise me how much mileage the writers are getting out Carly/Sonny/Nina. What appeared to have peaked when Carly walked in on Sonny/Nina, has continued the slow burn approach (at least for me) that they were using on Sonny/Nina in Nixon Falls. And the more debilerated the pace, the more the stakes are raised. Now we have Michael and Sonny falling out. We have Dante being in the middle. We now have a fight over Wiley. AND of course...Carly about who Willow is now. While the triangle is slow (and I liked the slow build to Nina and Sonny and if they can handle the other now that they are not in Nixon Falls and that dance they did).

 

I am curious to see if Harmony's death will damage the friendship among Willow and Sasha. 

 

I continue to LIVE for every time Laura needles Esme on what she's doing. But I do feel she's too late as she already has her claws into Nikolas. 

 

With all these other stories building, I think now is the time for the reveal on Liz. 

 

Speaking of which I am sad that the teens have vanished again. 

 

I am happy to see Mac and Felicia are getting another story. And I am curious to see where they are going with Spinelli. 

 

I am sure that I've said that I like that Austin and Maxie are together because that keeps Austin from any of the characters I like having to prop him (sorry, Max), but I liked the scene they had a few days ago about money, life goals, etc. They were finally written with something of substance and Maxie reflecting on how far she's come was refreshing. It resonated a little with what's going on with me. So bonus. 

Any day where I can see Brooklyn and Chase together is a good day.

After the drama of the last few weeks, I found this Friday kinda low key. 

 

So assuming this new guy is not a refaced Morgan...could he be a Novak or part of that new mob family that's hiding in the wings?

 

I did like watching the aftereffects of Harmony's rampage. Sasha trying to keep her drug use under wraps and how it continues to be more and more messy and Valentin has a clue (not to mention he has his romance with Anna and how it conflicts with the Jennifer Smith/new mob boss story). Carly letting Willow know about Neil and her not being Harmony's...but not telling her who her mother is. Speaking of Mom...that court battle with Nina showing her claws again and teaming with Scott. Against Diane? I want those court scenes!!!

 

And the stories are looping back around to the hospital staff. Amy vs Terry is coming. And while predictable, I am surprised that Amy does not know who her brother is dating...nor Terry does not whom his sister is. Really? I like how it loops in their co-workers though. I live for Terry and Britt's growing friendship and still be able to have conflict due to being co-COS. 

 

Speaking of COS, Britt really is doing a great job at it. I love her scenes with TJ and getting to see how TJ feels after losing his first patient. Those were some great scenes. Now I just need the writers to loop back around to Epiphany testing that test.

 

And I love when tv shows acknowledge STAR WARS so I was here for those cute Chase/Brooklyn/Violet scenes.

What does NB refer to?

I believe it may have been Wendy Riche's decision to recast Edward Quartermaine, after longtime portrayer, David Lewis, retired.  I am not so sure that went without saying at the time.  But it was an unbelievably successful recast.

Claire Labine liked to write socially conscious stories like Stone having AIDS, Monica having cancer, and BJ donating her heart to Maxie.  Ned and Lois provided the fun times and comedy.

Oh, sorry NB = Nurses' Ball. Yeah, and Robin & Stone was Wendy Riche's concept, to tell a story where straight kids would get caught with straight sex, etc. or however she put it to Claire, Wendy Riche said that Claire took that away & came back & pitched Robin & Stone & it was *exactly* what Wendy had wanted. That combination of collaborative spirit with some kind of serendipity of certain people working together, combined with a hullava lot of hard work. Mwah!  Yes, Edward was an excellent recast. The anniversary of BJ's heart was just yesterday, wasn't it? I think so.

I can’t even follow who NLG is mad at. Her daughter? Patrons who couldn’t mask up while they’re eating? I’ve generally agreed with her up to this point but she now sounds ridiculous.

Probably her Daughter's work for not requiring wearing of masks while on shift and patrons not wearing masks while there.

 

Plus her fiancee is immune compromised, So she wants him safe.

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      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.

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.
