Does Brooke know Taylor/Thomas knew about 'why did I drink?' 

Poor Deacon, his big 'Opening Night' got shafted during the rewrite - that should give an indication just how quickly they threw together this mess.

How many times will we hear these fools say 'Sheila's reign of terror is over'?

By November sweeps, Sheila's *brain tumor* will have been removed, her rich benefactor will arrange for an early release and Ridge/Finn's sister Diana hits LA to shake things up.

Oh I'm irritated by all of it, it's all stupid and you can tell, despite what Michele Val Jean claims, this was not the "long story", that they rewrote it, cause when it first happened, Don Diamont said he had to find a way "to make it work" speaks VOLUMES

That's so embarrassing. Unfortunately, Don Diamont did not make it work, but it's not up to him to make work. People all the time say: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!"

Well, I say when life gives you a plop of sh*t, make mudpies. So yeah, the cast of B&B are all making mudpies and the ovens have all been pre-heated. And well, TAH-DAH! Here is your result! Doesn't it make you want that mudpie served a la mode style?

Why shouldn't Deacon get off scot-free when no one else on this show ever pays for their crimes?

I'd put money on it. I can't think of ANY good reason to to call it anything BUT a rewrite. It's not just a left turn, but a HARD left turn.

I've seen rewrites on soaps over the years, but never one THIS bad, THIS jaw-droppingly awful. It's great for hate-watching, but it also makes me despise Brad Bell for treating the audience with such disrespect.

It's not just you. They've taken the decades-old "pregnant pause" on soaps and brought it back. It's an anachronism, and it doesn't work, instead making production look incompetent.

Anyone doubting the rewrite, think of the warp speed with the way things unfolded in just 10 episodes. Every episode could've easily been a week worth material during a typical B&B repetitive dialogue story.  The movement was shockingly fast and stupid.

For example: $B asks Sheila to marry him. What happens next?

1. Sheila talks to Deacon, hems for 5 minutes, says yes and confesses to murder in 5 scenes. OR

2. Sheila be flashing that black diamond ring at Sinn, Li, Brooke, Taylor, Katie and anyone else who'd listen to 'I'm going to be Mrs. Bill Spencer!' 

The latter would've lasted 4 episodes minimum and been classic B&B.

Cause that has what to do with anything? Deacon has paid before, and he HARBORED A FUGITIVE, and same said fugitive who as ready to stab his "beloved" daughter in a heart beat

I like character's who pay for the things they do, it makes them ROOTABLE, this is why I've always liked DeaCON, he was flawed, and shady etc but he paid, but now he's just another Logan bootlicker like Ridge and Bill

    • 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.
