Hi, gang! It’s that time again 

Please register in order to view this content

What will be in store for us this month on Days… especially now that it looks like the end of Bo and Hope’s return has been completely botched? 

Maybe this month, we’ll find out who’s actually responsible for this mess. Uncle Ron and his biggest cheerleader (who’s finally leaving Ron’s writing team, thank God) or some clueless suits over at Peacock? Who knows? 

As for what’s happening onscreen, will this month be May Sweeps or May Sleeps? Let’s find out

DISCUSS!

EJ and Belle’s scenes today seemed so random. There didn’t seem to be any point to them. Plus, EJ was out of character. He’s not the type of man to rely on somebody else to get something done; he’d do it himself. But if it means that the Shawn/Belle/EJ triangle is going to be revived, I’m all for it. I hope they weave more characters into it as well. 

Andrew’s support of Harris seems a little random too. But Colton and Steve do work well together, and I’m curious to see how rescuing Kate is going to play out. For them and for Roman and Steve. 

And yeah, I still can’t believe that Bo and Hope are just gone. I hope we find out the real story as to why it happened like this.

EJ and Belle scenes are worthless. Belle reschedules her day to be with EJ but not Shawn?

I just want Harris and Shawn to have angry sex. Just because I don't care for their scenes.

The Kate redux story is typical Carlivati. 

Mumbles has to go!

The Bo and Hope updates is what we're reduced to? Why did they bother bringing them back?

In all seriousness if the show is going to revisit the EJ/Belle story they need to be careful. I mean on one hand the chemistry between Dan and Martha is very strong and the characters connection is wonderfully complicated. However at the moment Shawn is in a serious crisis and he needs his wife desperately. Yes Belle can be pretty selfish at times. But if she begins an affair at this point it would be pretty hard to show any sympathy towards her. But then again it may add layers to the story. Good people can from time to time do things that are unsympathetic. If Belle does this we must see her suffer for the consequences of her actions.

Well, I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds SB/Harris hot

Agreed.

We can add this to the growing list of reasons as to why this storyline should never have ended last year. If it had continued, Shawn shooting Bo could have been the thing that brought him and Belle back together.

I was confused when Belle said that she was in trial on a case.

We can assume she didn't mean Chanel's case because that was either dismissed or hasn't gone to trial.

In January it was mentioned that she and Shawn were living in South Africa helping their daughter, and we know she is not a member of the Johannesburg Bar Association. 

So, is this just an unnamed litigant or have I missed some recent detail?

Also, on Friday EJ was jealous about Nicole, but today he's flirting with Belle.  Is he just an F-boy like Alex or do his emotional connections change on a dime like his Aunt Kristen?

If today was part of a plan to make Alex a likable good guy, it still isn’t going to work. There’s too many factors that are up against it.

Idk what to make of Colin’s plan. I think it could be good if it’s taken seriously, and Ron leaves his biases out of the writing (which he didn’t do today when Allie was mentioned) It could be gritty and realistic, which the show really could do with their storylines now that it’s on Peacock. And he did look good today too. Was he wearing Xander’s shorts?

Speaking of Xander, we don’t need another pissing contest, with him and Brady. EJ and Stefan is enough already. That’s another storyline where the envelope could be pushed and as a result, stir up conflict for Brady and Chloe, instead of using the same tropes again.

But I’m glad that apartment set is going to be used again.

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.

      A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
