I'm just baffled at the lack of what's the word for it? I guess when it comes to storytelling, I miss the good ol' days of soaps. With this Eric, Donna, and Quinn stuff, I'm not getting any falling action or resolution to the actual story. Or, was there a story besides a container of honey?

The "better family"?? What? LOL  Comments like that is very stan wars-y.  Taylor just tried to be friends with Sheila.   "Celebrate infidelity" - like Eric cheating on Quinn, who was cheating on him.  The countless times Ridge cheated. I'm sure Steffy cheated before too.  Thomas had his psycho phase.  No family is "better" than the other.  And what's with the constant name calling/bashing of the Logans in every single post?  It's another stan wars-y thing, so please try to reign it in a little.  I'm not saying you can't criticize certain characters, just try to be less stan wars-y.  I didn't like the Taylor vs Brooke or Forresters vs Logan back-and-forth here a couple weeks back.  SON is stan wars free zone.

Sheila literally cut her toe off to fake her death and yet she's hanging around Deacon?  Why? What does she need him for?  Did I miss something?

LOL! Perhaps she's sexually frustrated. I think a fellow poster questioned her financial resources and so far, she has mentioned that she has a lot of money to help Deacon financially, but I don't get it either. Hell, we just saw Hope barge in there unannounced. So, I think it's time that a lightbulb finally flicker inside their brains and realize to start locking the front door at all times. 

I don't know the name of the restaurant where Deacon works at, but the management needs to step up their game. If Ridge wants to get all Barney bad ass, then he can do at the privacy of his own home or at Deacon's while Shelia sits on the toilet taking a big ol' poot.

If I were customer at that establishment, I sure wouldn't want to hear some blathering lunatic flap his mouth while I'm trying to enjoy my fish tacos. That's just plain harrassment right there.

Steffy cheated before too??  LOLL.  She jumped in bed with Why-not ASAP because Liam didn't return a text. I remember that much about the pre-Adam and Eve thing/bump on the head accident/oops I'm actually off to Australia to see Ivy home in the plane bathroom.

You’re the one who brought up the Logan’s infidelity. LOL  I’m just saying one family isn’t “better” than the other.  They’ve all done crappy things.  To say one is better than the other is absolutely ludicrous.

I know I'm the drolling down trodden drum because of my negativity but - I've said, Sheila can never be killed off, so there's no interest for me there.  They've made it so they can never be without her - they need a character to dumb everyone down, and that's what they do every time.  To me at least, she literally looked like they do with Clark Kent and Super girl too....they put on a pair of glasses on and no one knows who they are. 

Although I was tired of Quinn, and I don't really watch often, Rena kind of deserved more than that if she's gone.  I'll have to look up today's episode and see what they did at least on that front.

    • 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.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
