Admittedly I am not a Darin Brooks fan, even when he was on Days.  He just doesn't have that IT factor for me.  As pointed out, at least Scott Clifton can act, but he tends to chew the scenery...Evident by "Exhibit A" above!  It's like tone it down dude.  He's like Michelle Stafford, but at least she doesn't have these goofy expressions.

I agree. The character needs a rest. BIG TIME. I would much prefer see a story with Bill or Wyatt than Liam.

Jack would be a great character to bring onto the canvas. Brooke is his bio mom, and Taylor gave birth to him. He could have an axe to grind with BOTH women. I could see him being similar to what Jonathan was to Reva on GL...the son from hell!

RJ is very fresh and I love the actor. They need to give me some story though. I would love for Brooke to have a fight with Ridge and take over the company as CEO and make RJ the main designer.

Have to agree. I'm no Darin Brooks fan, either. In most of his scenes, he's one step away from LOL. I can't defend Scott Clifton's overacting, and I think it's more noticeable because he's done such good work in the past. Now? He must know the scripts are total crap, so he tries -- way too hard -- to make tehm work. He might be better off phoning it in.

I managed to watch (as in fast forward) the last 2 months and let me congratulate Bradley.

You have finally managed to turn Bold into Indian telenovela. The absurd close ups and over-reacting. Liam and his hungry dog face... Hope and her longing in pain face... Brooke and her HOW dare you face... It is bad. The scenes lack any sense of real drama and conflict. Even 2002 now seems like GOLDEN era compared to this crap. 

But I laughed so much when Brooke just like that entered a 30 year old man apartment... snooped with few looks and JUST LIKE THAT burst into the bedroom. This is classic Brooke and I loved that scene. Laughed for hours.

    • 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.
