I know a lot of people want Chance with Summer, but I'm not seeing it. She just doesn't seem mature enough for him.

I'm curious as to what you mean about bringing Abby/Devon into that equation. Why would they have anything to do with Summer and Chance's relationship? It's not as if Chance has much at all to do with Dominick.

Honestly does Victor care about his kids at all? This has gotten so freaking old. And he really is just doing random [!@#$%^&*] right now out of boredom.

Can the Abbott siblings ever all love eachother at the same time?

What's up with all the flash-backs?  Jeeze-Louise!. For the past couple of weeks, it seems there are four or five flash-backs per episode.  Typically there might be one a month.   I can say for sure, the audience does not need flashbacks to put current scenes into context.  We aren't children, and we don't need to be spoon-fed the story.  Does anyone know why this is happening?  It's ridiculous.  Maybe just lazy writing??

If Newman was a real company I would be highly concerned with all the constant CEO swapping going on lol. 
 

Once again the highlight of the week for was Audra moving her moves, this time discarding Kyle like yesterday’s old newspaper. But I have a feeling we’re far from seeing the end of Kyle and Audra just a yet.

The writers strike essentially made JG (who already was a very lazy writer) a one man show and the constant flashbacks have been occurring since the strike material hit the air. What makes these recent flashbacks odd is them being shown in some faux art house black and white style form. Ridiculous indeed as I haven’t seen this many flashbacks since the Reilly 2.0 era at Days. 

The Y&R writing staff had been hacked down to the bare minimum right before the strike, so we’re probably stuck with.

Audra tends to be the highlight of the show. I would LOVE for them to explore more of her backstory.

A lot of it has to do with the actress, of course. She's able to elevate the material to something far better than what's written. Just her eyes and facial expressions alone convey so much. I love how she just dumped Kyle, but I, too, suspect that they're not completely over yet.

Well, I knew it was coming, but I can't say I didn't dislike the Adam/Sally kiss.

 

Ooooo at Victor and the portrait. That said, outside of Nikki being in Boss Mode, I am not feeling the Newman storylines right now. But it could be that it's in a constant state of repeat. I almost wish that Victoria would do a power move a la what she did with Ashland to get the money back...but I know, I know...WRONG Victoria. And already there are cracks in her relationship with Nate.

    • 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.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
