Let me just say I am not the one who started comparing actors and talent. It started in the previous thread and when it got to the offensive statement about RM I intervened. It was in comparison to Tanner that dragonflies called Ronn Moss a footnote and said that Tanner is a throwback to OG stars.  

If you ask me...  they are similar in the talent department. Tanner for me is very wooden as BoldRestless said. He has 2 expressions on his face and that is all. But he is also not leading most of the time and I see him in very little transformative scenes. He has had only one more major thing with acting required so far and it was still very wooden. Ronn Moss got better with time back in the day. He had some good moments but overall could not get a lot of emotion across too. Ronn Moss is just iconic with the way he became a star in Europe. People are mad for him in Italy, Greece and etc.

Tanner I don't think will have that durability as a TV presence and actor. That's just my opinion. To me he is very similar to other low to mid level soap actors and will probably in few years just fade out of the profession since he is not that gifted as an actor. He could do some commercials for fitness or underwear or teeth health... I think... since he is a pretty man. But that's all. I don't see a star here. Hate me for it but I don't see it.

Ronn on the other hand with the little talent he had... probably had some lucky star in his life... to become so iconic and recognizable with just this role of Ridge... is amazing. I really never liked him when I grew up, but with time I appreciated him and I think NOBODY could play Ridge but him. To recast was one of the biggest mistakes Brad has made.

I watched today's episode.  Why did I watch?

More Sheila nonsense. The same recycled scripts. I can't believe this is the best the writers could do to write out Steffy during her maternity leave.

Same here. I don't know why I watched.

The Sheila stuff is beyond repetitive, and I have no idea what Deacon sees in her as a person or as an object of physical desire.

BOLD feels like it's written by AI that's generated in a system engineered by tech failures.

I will say that RJ was looking like a snack today in that tight black t-shirt. I liked his hair, too.

    • 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.
