So many strange moments with the writing/direction/acting on these episodes! 

Grace slapping Carter was just strange. She was sitting there, then stood up to give him a weak slap without any buildup, then sat down again.

And "heartbroken" Paris just sitting there with the exact same blank facial expression and tone of voice that she always has.

I love Sheila and Mike but it seemed like nobody could decide whether the scene when Finn flatlined was supposed to be dramatic or played for laughs. The dialogue could not have been meant to be taken seriously ("oh no, I killed him AGAIN!") and there was a strange lack of urgency when Sheila tried to restart Finn's heart (including Mike debating with Sheila whether or not to use the machine, like just leaving Finn there with no pulse might be a better treatment option...). And why did Finn flatline in the first place, only to be awake and lucid minutes later?

I'm sure it was some kind of marketing ploy. It's weird sometimes because when I'm on Twitter reading Tweets from imbeciles, I'll get these weird things of what's "trending". I think the same would imply for anything else because they want you "glued". Not that what is described above is actually from Twitter, but I do find the topics of King Mattress and Chicago Weather dumbly fascinating. Wow. Chicago Weather and King Mattress.

Trending displays to an individual based on one's own twitter and browser history.  It has nothing to do with what's *actually* trending.   In some cases it displays by location which isn't accurate either.
To get something (somewhat) more objective, you have to change your twitter profile settings.  something about unchecking all interests and topics or something. I don't do twitter myself, but I have family who do this.

Come on, Finn. 

 

Why didn't you at least try to fake not remembering anything? It's SHEILA. Le sigh.

 

That said...while I did miss the Quinn finds out the affair episode (is that in the vault btw), lord, that wedding was a trip. Or Quinn trying to get to the wedding. And I do find it funny that given it was Paris that exposed Carter and Quinn's affair...now she has egg on her face at this wedding. On one hand, it was nice to see Quinn being the right beat to play given all Carter has been up to this year. But still on the other hand, it is sad that Paris was basically a side piece. No wonder Grace slapped Carter. lol. 

 

I did like the Sheila/Mike montage. But I don't see how Sheila can even nurse Finn. Did Li leave any notes? She is going to have to bring someone in. Paging...Bridget...?

 

I've been enjoying the Katie pop-ups.

    • 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.
    • 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.
