Why the hell is Hope SMILING at Liam during Beth's birthday party??? Has she lost her mind, is she on drugs, or is she just an idiot???

And why is RJ lecturing and preaching reconciliation to Hope and Liam??? Shouldn't he be hitting on some fine young ladies in town, or even checking out other guys' pecs and arms at the rooftop gym?

I'm reading through the threads and everything sounds ridiculous.  But - that's an honest SORAS really.  She was born at the beginning of 2019.  She'd be 4 and a half in real years.  Given divorces, remarriages, annulments, and re-re marriages happen in 1 week on this show, that's about the most believable thing I've heard in the past few years.

So at the beginning of the show, I was like....maybe we're finally getting a Liam-free episode for once. But, NOPE, there he is! Smirking and being tiresome.

Poor RJ. He's got a rocking bod. Should be having a fun youth focused story, but all he gets to do is play marriage counselor.

Did Zende fall off the face of the earth?

I wondered what people's feelings are - how do you set up a poll? Is that possible on here?  Never done it.

Vote for who Finn will sleep with first, while Steffy is gone (if she's leaving - I read she is leaving for maternity leave):

A. Hope

B. Taylor

C. Brooke

D. Katie - probably will need Emmy reel material, so a tryst with Finn will allow them to get it on, get it over with, and give Katie some well-deserved crying time

E. Paris or Bridget (I think these are the two underdog / long shot choices, but tempted to put them on the list, just in case the writers wanted to toss someone else a bone).

RJ is starting to give me Aly vibes when she began to go off the deep end, wearing long Amish dresses and preaching about Hope's virtues... 

In the world of B&B, the George Floyd era is over, so Zende and Paris are yesterday's news. Carter will eventually be just a wedding officiant again... I'll be glad if I'm wrong, but we've seen this sort of scenario play out on B&B.... 

Meanwhile, didn't Rena Sofer leave the show a full year ago and she's still in the opening credits?

The RJ obsession with saving Hope and Liam's marriage might could have worked if the writing has been more nuanced such as RJ coming from the point of view on how Ridge and Brooke's many marriages and divorces impacted him as a child. But, instead he's preoccupation with fixing everyone's marriage just feels odd.

    • 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.
