Are you Bradley Bell? 

Grow a sense of humour. My grandmother died of dementia and I was not using it to insult anyone. The whole comment was just my sense of humor and me being honest. But.

I am not going to write in this forum ever again. Every time I try to speak my mind people like that come and make it something it isn't. 

I was complaining about a god damn soap opera. Are you kidding me...

So Brooke is doing this all over again. But this time she is not 35... it's so sad seeing the same old thing repeated till you are sick. How many times will that woman be made to act a scene like this...

And here I was dreaming of a story with that hot young waiter. Brooke could have been on fire with him.

No... it's destiny for the 102000 time.

4-5

 

Well...you all did say that more than likely Hope was going to trip and fall on Thomas. lol.

 

I think it's a decent week so far. My favorite moment being Li's 'who's smiling now?' to Sheila. Ooooh how I like for their rivalry. All I want is one more catfight. Just one!!

So given how Monday ended...are we going to get Carter/Katie/Bill or are they just back together like that?

 

I'm glad the Brooke/Taylor friendship held strong now that Ridge is back. At least for now. I thought it was interesting to have them in a scene together with Ridge and...bonding?

 

I was sad that the Thomas vs Ridge scene were so underwhelming. I was looking forward to seeing Ridge's reaction to Thomas being back. And I guess I thought it would be a bigger reaction. Oh, well.

The Braylor friendship doesn't hit the same because it's not KKL/HT - that's where the 30 years of bad blood lies.

I like KA she's done a great job in breathing new life to the character, but it's just not the seismic shift it's made out to be.

If HT/KKL were hugging it out, having a girls night, etc. that *would* be mindblowing along the lines of the Brooke/Stephanie evolution, but somehow bigger. Brooke/Stephanie always felt like a mother/daughter relationship - they were never peers. 

Skip the girlfriend's aspect, keep them friendly, but both should move to different stories - preferably Brooke flinging with Hollis and Taylor with Deacon.

I did laugh though because Ridge reminded me of someone I knew in real life, but I couldn't figure it out. No, I don't date slobs, but when Brooke came down the stairs in her lingerie and told Ridge that she forgot to blow out the candles, Ridge said something like, "I told you I would take care of it as I would be downstairs." OMG. Who do I know who acts like that? Anyways, I found it funny as it reminds me of a grumpy couple who've been together for so long, but they still love other in their own way. 

Even though I'm mad at this show, I still try to find a way to laugh. But no, if anything, I feel the writers are pushing for Brooke and Taylor to have a taste if you know what I'm saying. Mmmm-hmmm

I don’t watch this show enough to understand the stories. But, I have to say this show still looks classic Bell. The sets, the lighting, the unique camera angles, even the roaring fire place fire… it feels like what Y&R once was. Gosh, I guess Ed Scott can still wield his magic somewhere. 
 

I loved the innovative thinking of having Ridge and Brooke eating their dinner on the floor at the coffee table. I’m sure the reason behind it is the lack of a dinning room set for Brooke, but it was a natural and realistic thing to do. The fire burning behind them, the close-ups, classic soap. 

Can this production team come over and teach their Studio City neighbours how it is done? I get better filmography from Lauralee Bell’s reels than the show!

Soccer may disrupt B&B and Y&R 
Tues. April 11, Wed. April 12,
Tues. April 18, and Wed. April 19.
This affects the CBS broadcast only in western timezones.
You might need to watch on different time/channel, overnight, or online.
Does not impact the Canadian broadcast.

If you watch CBS soaps in Arizona or Hawaii, the disruption will be different than it was in Feb & March., because the live match in Europe is on "summer time" (Daylight Savings).

Details here:

Fully agree. Brooke had fire chem with that waiter, an d watching her salivate in front of Ridge was so pathetic.

 

For me, the Braylor friendship not only doesn't hit the same, it's completely absurd. Both women have apparently had lobotomies to have a friendship like this.

Seeing them longingly look at each other like there's some deep, cosmic connection is just LAUGHABLE.

    • 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.
