Yeah, I take spoilers now worth a grain of salt nowadays - especially Soap She Knows. Oh, soaps she knows she bettah don't! Mmm-hmm. Wasn't there like an Instagram spoiler a while back when Kimberlin Brown replied to a fan when he asked if she was leaving the show and Kimberlin Brown replied that she was? I can't remember the exact date, but it was definitely around the time when Soap She Knows (Oh, soaps she knows she bettah don't!) reported Tanner Novlan was exiting the show? Remember that?

Seriously, even the SOD spoilers are so thirsty, but nothing compares to the bullsh*t Twitter spoilers posted by stan fans or whatever the eff you call them. Are they posting untrue spoilers for sh*ts and giggles? Are they fascinated by the statistical analysis of how many engagements they receive? Will it forever be written on their tombstone when they depart this Earth? Whatever, get a life. Then again, if it gives them orgasms, then I would consider that to be important. So, I'm trying not to talk bad smack.

Oh, geez. Hahaha! Well, this whole Bill and Shelia situation just popped up like some big pus pimple boil to the point where Dr. Pimple Popper can't do anything about it. Seriously, it just came out of nowhere. So now, Shelia has three men--Mike, Deacon, and Bill. If I were Shelia, i wouldn't know what to do. I mean, she no longer has to wear her rubber doll mask thankfully, but my goodness. Now this means I'm going to have to hear how Shelia Carter is a free woman for the next two weeks. Damn it.

But, I do like the mysterious tense background music they play for the Shelia/Bill scenes. If I was around a piano or a clarinet, I could probably play it. It reminds of Mr. Miyagi and the Karate Kid. Like they have their swords out in slow motion as the sun sets into the crimson sunset.

This will be the first time since she was married to Eric that Sheila will really be in a position of power in LA. That COULD be interesting if they play it right. Was all of her talk of reform BS or will she behave for a little while? Of course it was BS, but curious to see how far she'll go. It would be fun to have Bill take her to the fancy parties, if they ever have them again, in open-toed shoes of course.

Awwww I hate to admit it, but I like Brooke and Taylor as friends and them trying on dresses was cute. It would be so good if the show WOULD let them branch out from Ridge and find new lives, stories, and men...if needed. I know, I know...probably not, but a nice little 3 month arc would be nice. 

 

I giggled at Steffy being blackmailed but STILL had to read Sheila. hehe. 

 

I might hate the blackmail, but I feel like they are not rushing it or going too slow with this story. It's nicely paced.

Power is good, but this will defintely be a challenge for Shelia. Well, Mike's a loser, so whatever. Deacon's poor, but maybe he's good in bed. Bill, I guess is what people like to call a DILF nowadays, but he walks around like he's either suffering from constipation or anal leakage. Then again, maybe DD had a back accident of some sort that I'm unaware of as I did notice the real-life scar around the tramp stamp area.

Super interesting script choice today to have DD have only one line. HT had a ton of uninterrupted long dialogue and somehow makes it effortless.

@dragonflies Like Taylor's ridiculously long absences from the canvas, Karen should've been there - even in a limited capacity - after all the Thomas stuff. Yes, Liam is a blood relative, but I can't fathom Karen/Bill combo wouldn't go to court (*bribe a judge*) to get Douglas into his grandmother's care. It's absolutely illogical.

    • 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.
