Yes the LOWgans really do, and the hate for them on twitter and other places is chef's kiss. They are dragging down the ratings too

Honestly no LOWgan fans have room to say anyone's intolerable given Brooke is literally the most insufferable character on soaps all the LOWgan's are.

Katie brought back to prop the sister who stole her husband, got impregnated by him and then sided with said husband during the custody battle.

Yeah you got yourself a winner there with that LOWgan trash!!

I'm happy for Krista. It seems like a perfect marriage of a similar type of actress and look with a character who desperately needed a new face that wasn't a total divorce from the original (which is what happened with Thorsten Kaye among others).

B&B doesn't have a shortage of strong actresses. Add KB, NB and, if they wrote Donna like Grace (Y&R), JG.

On the other hand, DD, SC and SK are the only actors who aren't elevated (or carried) by their female acting partners.  But it's always been this way on B&B. Always. Flannery, Tylo, Finnegan, Down, Eakes , Franz, Finnegan, Courtney Hope, Ashley Jones, etc.

Look these are Stan wars type posts that I’m trying to stop.  If you’re going to say something bad about a character, say why and what they’re doing in the episode.  Also, if you’re in opposition of those characters, you don’t have to post a childish comeback.  It’s like “OMG, they said something bad about characters I like, so I MUST retaliate!”  Come on guys. Take the Stan wars behavior somewhere else. 

Another example.  Come on.

2022 has to be the worst year ever for B&B, honestly. I don't think there is 1 positive thing I can say. The Finn dying / coming back story hit the bottom of the bottom, you can't sink lower than this in terms of writing and acting. 3 characters presumed dead in a few weeks is beyond  ridiculous.  The first 3 months were all about Brooke drinking and Sheila's secret - terrible. Taylor's return has made Steffy and Thomas totally insufferable. The 3 main couples - Lope Sinn Bridge - have no chemistry and are so mismatched. Quinn was written off like she was a recurring character, zero respect for her fans and they did the same to Zoe/Flo/Shauna earlier this year (even if they were hated by a lot, they deserved better closure). Now we're headed to a 4th round of Thomas obsessing over Hope and Sheila obsessing over her son and grandson. And a 36th round of the triangle from hell. It's no wonder even the big location shoot in Monaco brought the ratings down. Everything sucks.

The old episodes are 1000000x more interesting. 1987-2005 were the best years, then it started degrading. Even 3 years ago in 2019, the show was already bad, but not THAT bad. (for anyone wondering, the vault is full again, I will start uploading the new episodes as soon as @ChickenNuggetz92 fixes it)

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL.
    • 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.
