B&B July 2022 Discussion Thread

This was worth 100% checking in on this board.  I watched for a couple minutes the other day and heard Liam and Bill and Wyatt talking about why isn't Sheila behind bars for everything she's done.  I didn't watch anything else but thought - that's been said for 35 years practically.  Yawn.

But this snippet was worth the visit here. I think the reason I don't care for Quinn/Rena is that they made the whole show about her for a couple years and it was ridiculous.  But, I do think she's a decent actress so it's kind of a shame that she was 1-note crazy/cartoonish for years...it set the table for if/when she does have feelings of any kind - I don't care.  The impression is spot-on, save a few things that would have been insulting to the actress who plays Donna.

I have to say, and I only check in once and a while, but from the brief things I've seen, it's kind of a breath of fresh air, and not at all (sadly) that B&B has done well at least in recent history.  There are no new characters with staying power, so anytime a new character is/was introduced, it was wondering when they would be killed off, or sent on their merry way - the character is just a plot point.  Back when Liberty Bibberty was introduced it was kind of sad/useless because you just know he's a goner, of no consequence anyway so who cares.  If B&B goes the route of actually having a character going forward, I am shocked and this would be a positive sign that someone finally gets the show cannot be Liam, Steffy, Hope, and Wyatt 24/7.  They missed the boat the size of an aircraft carrier with Courtney Hope/Sally....have no idea why that didn't smack someone in the face with such obvious talent.....but maybe this is a sign someone has a brain at B&B.

    • 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.
