Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane!

Ugh, I hope this is not the last of Tripp! I'm from the D.C. area and "the Exorcist steps" in Georgetown is a local attraction. Had Tripp taken a tumble down a flight of stairs after he jumped out of the window just like in the movie would have been thoroughly satisfying. The last time a soap character took a great fall down a staircase was Dorian on OLTL when Viki's alter Tommy gave her a great push.

I am glad Linsey Godfrey is cancer-free after she battled Stage III Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I find myself easily distracted by the visible tattoo located on her neck. What is so weird is that when Sarah got her memory back from the hospital after taking Dr. Kayla's 3-minute miracle antidote, Sarah Horton shortly became tolerable for a second. Now, the actress is back to being annoying as all holy hell. Thankfully, the tattoo on her neck helps me overlook everything, so I guess the tattoo serves as a blessing in disguise. I wish Maggie would have cut her hair sooner when Sarah was doodling around with crayons, but I'll take it for its worth. Dr. Rolf and Dr. Kayla Johnson should be in an antidote competition reality show as these antidote concoctions are dope AF. 

Nothing against sexual promiscuity, but two recent scenes with Nicole remind me how much of a whore she is. If she were more of an unapologetic whore, I would have more respect for her. The first scene was with Eric when he inquired about her relationship with E.J., and Nicole replied that she was not with E.J. but now with Rafe. As fast-paced and as these forgettable storylines pan out, thinking of the period of Nicole/Zander, Nicole/E.J., and Nicole/Rafe is quite the doozy. I believe all three instances occurred within one and a half months of each other, but not exactly sure. The second scene was yesterday when Sarah asked Nicole why she was no longer with Eric, and all Nicole had to do was reply that she was a whore, and that's it.

It is nice to see Peter Reckell again but rather annoyed at the audio effects used for angel Bo, as the show uses the same audio effect for flashback scenes. I clearly do not understand why he chose to return to the show. I do not mean to get far ahead, but Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso definitely had their reasonings back then, and I do not understand what makes it so different now. Hey, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. How many times exactly has this been again? Still, this weird vibe feels the same vis-à-vis Grant Alexander when he returned as Philip Spaulding on Guiding Light. 

When I was a teenager, I used to love murder mysteries on soaps, and as I got older, all I had to do to solve a soap murder mystery was figure out who had a contract with the show and those who didn't. Now, I have no clue, and I don't know if the writers are treating this TR Coates murder as a mystery or not. So far, Rafe and Steve know that the gun present at the scene of the crime was a police gun, but no autopsy so far. So, if the writers are trying to spin this thing around, perhaps revealing a different gun weapon was used to kill TR Coates, watch it be somebody stupid like Beth, lol! She was crawling on the floor of the hallway and seized her moment. And you know what? I really don't care.

    • 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.
    • 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.
