I thought it was a lot of fun and didn’t take itself too seriously in a way I’m not used to from B&B. The Bell soaps seem to avoid the silliness we’re accustomed to from the ABC and NBC soaps. The special opening titles were a great touch, and I got a kick out of the chocolate toes.

TB is aging very well (btw, when she was on the show, the opening photo of her in the gunmetal dress was always my favorite.)

If they were going to do a wash, rinse, repeat like they do with everything else, I'd actually tune in for Lauren.  I saw the Halloween episode and have to say - it was far better than anything they've done in several years.  I didn't watch B&B regularly when Lauren did her crossover, and it's weird to think....really Sheila has had more history now by far on B&B than on Y&R.  But we still for some reason think of Sheila and Lauren on Y&R.  It's battle that - if we're going to rehash the past - is a far better gamble than anything they've done lately.  (YAWN: CRAZY Thomas, Liam/Hope/Steffy, Brooke/Ridge/Taylor, whose picture will be over the mantle at the Forrester mansion).....they'd be smart to have a lengthy story of Lauren getting revenge secretly behind Sheila's back.  I'd tune in to see that.  Have a group conspiracy to ferret out Sheila - with one big queen-pin in the background left for surprise - Quinn.  Carefully planned over months and months and months and give viewers a PAYOFF.

10-28

 

Well I'm glad I went back and rewatched 10-26. How did I miss Thomas running around in his undies. LOL!!! Just a whole snack. lol.

 

That said...it was creepy to see the return of the manniquin. If that isn't a sign...

 

I liked that they had Sheila voicing her fears about Deacon running off after Brooke. Even she worries. I liked we played that beat. Because he would. In fact, he did. 

 

I came across the November Sweeps issue from last year and find it funny that back then they were setting up Carter and Katie and it took a WHOLE YEAR for them to get back to it. And I'm not sure how I feel about it honestly. 

 

Shut up, Brooke. lol.

THIS.

    • 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.
