Same. And you know Ashland is serious cuz he shaved.

But seriously...it's just so bizarre to me. Moreso because I know I said in the thread a few months back around when Diane's return was starting that Victoria should tell any of them NOTHING. And that Old Victoria WOULD have done it and needed no man to do it. So to see that Victoria did EXACTLY THAT...I admit that was good and written to who her character used to be. Even her running off with Ashland to start her own company is written to how she is. So I didn't mind that possibility for story either. 

 

So to see her outsmart everyone right down to her arriving early and outsmarting Victor, too, just on arrival time, only for a wash, rinse, repeat storyline is just mind numbing. I sure any of us could think of new ways to take this story from the moment Victoria landed and revealed she got the money other than Adam feeling slighted, Nikki stuck in the middle again, and even Nick wanting to rejoin Newman...a move that will only destroy the truce he finally managed to get with Adam. 

 

At this point the plot twist of an Ashland kid would be nice. Or perhaps with Ashland now single...he might be moved into Diane's orbit and they could be a scheme team.

 

Though with my luck...he will probably hook up with Giggly Heffa.

Agree to all the above! I like your ideas too.

I get the feeling we’ll get Ashland and Diane eventually but I hadn’t considered Ashland and Phyllis. That would be downright juicy for the drama and conflict it should create on paper, but know JG’s writing and MS’ acting it would fall flat on screen.

Everything with the Newmans feels been there and done that...over and over. I'm sooooo tired of these corporate takeover stories on this show. I really don't care who's running Newman Chancellor Winters Yada Yada Enterprises this week.

Susan Walters has done miracles in making me care some about the show again. But, she can only do so much!

The Imani story has promise and those characters desperately need some sort of conflict.

 I like the idea of the character of Allie, but she needs some sort of an edge. Too much goody-goody nowhere, and a romance with Noah is Snoresville. The show badly needs characters that aren't Newmans or Abotts so they don't have to date each other!

But, that's been the problem with Y&R for so long now. It's as if the writers AVOID having conflict.

    • 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.
