I am talking about what I'm seeing. Here on Earth. On my TV, in my living room.

Yes, In my opinion, Steffy is way too obsessed with her mother and father's love life. First 5 months of 2022 were Steffy telling Ridge he should not trust Brooke. She was like a bully repeating the same things. 

And then the boring scenes with her shirtless husband. Is that good storytelling? I can see that man shirtless 100 times and then it's just boring. Again, my opinion. I don't want to offend any super fans out there. Lol.

I like my characters to have dept and do something that surprises me, you know. Steffy and Finn are so predictable, it's like a bad reality show.

And... when did I say that I want her to be like Brooke?

Brooke has been a ruined character ever since 2002-2005. But she is Brooke... she is the ultimate heroine of the show. No way I will compare the two. Brooke gave us 25 years of entertainment.

Steffy in 2022, 2023 is just a basic cliche of a character with no dept and soul. Bradley struggles to write for her. He is better when he writes for the good girl... Hope sound more real to me. 

I really dream of this show to be better written. Even Steffy could be made interesting. She just needs Stories and dialogue.

You react so emotionally to comments about fictional characters..  I mean.. Steffy is not your mother or sister. I can think and say whatever I want.  Please don't take every criticism about the show so serious.  Or do... I don't care.

It's funny and predictable... these responses. Just like the show nowadays.

Steffy has the most character growth of anyone on the show, and you wanna single her out, yeah the parent trapping was dumb, but that's Bradley for ya

WHen Brooke, Donna, Eric, Liam, Bill, even Sheila, show any character growth let me know till then I gotta laugh when someone knocks another character for something that doesn't make sense, all the while sporting an avatar of a character who's the most regressed on the whole show.

I like how she is acting but I think Taylor is in a bit of a plateo. Nothings really happening with her. And I find it hard to believe her main goal is to find the woman that practically destroyed her life.. Brooke.. a date...

Bradley is ignoring 30 years of history.

But I like the actress a lot.

Your response is really special. You single out Steffy (and Finn) for predictability, yet ignore everyone else in town. Hilarious. Steffy is a "basic cliche of a character with not depth or soul"? LOL That sounds like every character on BOLD. And please miss me with the idea that Hope is "more real."

I guess I'm triggered more than anything by your accusation that someone reacted "emotionally" to "fictional characters," as if your comments aren't as emotional as anyone else's. For someone who doesn't care, you wrote a REALLY lengthy response.

I think it's possible to disagree about characters -- even strongly and completely -- without attacking a poster with condescension.

I realize they've been biting at each other, but I feel that latest response ratcheted up the argument.

I understand passion. My posting style can be passionate and even off-putting to some people, but I also respond negatively when I'm told someone's comments are too emotional and that soap characters aren't real. That's just a way of negating someone completely.

I have no problem with someone not agreeing with me about a character or a story. That's all good. I responded here only because I don't think the way to disagree is to diminish the other person.

I think the main problem is the dragon flies has a habit out of making people feel stupid over fiction, I could see why the other poster reacted the way they did because it’s not the first time he/she has done that, and it’s very annoying.

You replied to yourself then. You attack me and criticise me and then say you haven't given it much attention and maybe missed something. Well. Good for you. 

God... the show must be so boring that people need to make drama here.

People... I have Never wanted to start a thing with aanyone. NEVER. I don't know you and I rarely write because I am scared of the reaction.

Every time I comment about the Show... there has been a response telling me My opinion is invalid. Every time I have an unpopular opinion there has been drama.

Why?

I don't need this toxicity in my life.

And this is the last post in which I will address anyone outside the topic.

I will not be made to take part in petty conflicts with people I don't know and don't want to know.

Me commenting about Steffy being disappointing does not mean others are not. Am I required to say that All characters are bad... to suit you better ...??? 

Am I allowed to have an opinion about a God damn soap opera. 

And that's why I'm scared to write in this forum.

This is unsettling.

    • 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.
