So RJ main purpose in the show is to appear half naked and giving marriage advice.

Okie dokie at least he's got a great body and chest/pecs to look at.

So Hope and Liam get divorced over a kiss? That's a big stretch and really not believable.

It's right up Brad Bell's alley though. Remember when Ridge out of the blue proposed to Taylor just because he saw Brooke and Grant kiss? He had everything planned for a proposal to Brooke. He had even designed a wedding dress for her to wear at a fashion show. All of a sudden he switched, had Taylor model the dress and proposed to her on the runway. All without even talking to Brooke first and ask her about the kiss.

I hope RJ has to try on shirts more often! But, it's kind of sad. There are no other characters his age, and all he has to talk about is the rehashing of Hope/Liam...like just about every other character.

At least we got two stories in one episode finally!

No going to lie I thought about you immediately as I saw that RJ scene in wondering if you were watching it

But yeah the divorce is so unrealistic and rushed so very very unrealistically fast lol. But hey I’m all for Hope dumping that dolt Liam.

Haha I couldn’t remember where that started at as it has always bugged me a lot as a plot device to trigger a breakup or a divorce. 1996 was such a messy year for the show I recall that story was slapped together fast and loose as both KKL and HT almost quit the show.

This show needs a complete makeover. If it was up to me I would bring Macy back from the dead and set her out to destroy Brooke and Forrester Creations. I would turn her into modern day Sally Spectra... older and full of tricks. Macy was a power house back in the day.

Bradley Bell and company have had plenty of opportunities to really re-work and re-shift this soap into something real worthwhile, reminiscent of what William J. Bell created.

When Ronn Moss left the role of Ridge, there was opportunity there to re-tool the canvas, and have Rick take Ridge's position as the leading male, and allow Eric, Brooke, Stephanie to take the backseat roles. No, instead the role was recast and we were thrust back into the same 'ol recycled bulls**t.

When Jacquline MacInnes Wood came back as Steffy, there was a real chance to again, re-tool the canvas and have the younger-set really push Forrester Creations, and even Spencer Publications, and allow the veteran characters to step back and support those players. No, instead we were thrust back into the same 'ol recycled bulls**t.

The closest we got was casting Courtney Hope as Sally Spectra, but even that storyline went WRONG! Instead of having Thorne return and want Brooke back for 2.5 seconds, he should have revealed himself to be working with Sally to have Spectra Fashions overtake Forrester Creations, proving himself as more than the basement/international Forrester, and truly bringing fashion back into the Bold fold. No, instead we got the same 'ol recycled bulls**t.

    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • 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.
