Haha! Sounds like I need to catch up indeed. 

Please register in order to view this content

 I was tempted to catch up yesterday, but forgot I had an episode of 1923 to watch and it was so good that I ended up watching it twice. After that, I was tuckered out after doing cardios. A potential lesbain storyline for Brooke and Taylor? Well, it's not like Taylor hasn't Taylor seen Brooke in lingerie. I think I want to see Bill/Shelia. Shelia used to be crafty and diabolical. All Bill has is a necklace. I don't know the powers that unleash out of the necklace yet, but I'm willing to be patient for it. Maybe the necklace can talk to Bill as Shelia's toe can talk to her, ya know? No, wait. How can a cross and a toe possibly talk to these two people? Maybe they can place Shelia's toe on top of the cross and then wrap it around wih some sewing thread and boy scout knot that sucker on. I can't of any powers though, although I will be dissapointed if the only diabolical plan that the cross and toe have in mind for Bill and Shelia is to use the phone app that alters people's voices.

B&B has a funny way of having characters conveniently turn to the dark side to further along a plot. But at what cost? If Thomas is ever trusted again, they'll all look like fools (and he will be trusted again eventually, after saving one of Hope/Steffy's kids from drowning or something random and heroic like that). And what became of Justin? 

Just make Bill demon-possessed. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I get mindless entertainment, but I just cannot suspend disbelief enough to enjoy B&B. Ironically, the show would work better for me if it were even stupider and had less talented, committed actors. Watching the likes of Matthew Atkinson and JMW sell this stuff on a regular basis feels so frustrating and demeaning creatively. Hopefully they are compensated well and have solid 401(k)s.

It was obvious they had to figure out a way to keep Sheila after the ratings boost she gave them, but why play it off screen? It’s not like she or Bill were doing anything important enough that they couldn’t show us. 
 

The biggest problem though is that Brad doesn’t get Sheila’s importance and he’ll write her into a corner the moment he needs another buzz moment. I still can’t believe he had her shoot Steffy and Finn after working so hard to redeem her. Such a waste.

That may have been the wrong choice of words, but they’d gotten rid of the baggage of her Y&R stints and based off her previous B&B return, she was in good shape to stick around long term had they not had her going around shooting people. She could still scheme and cause trouble, but to immediately jump into a plot like that was short sighted.

    • 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.
    • 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.
