Some of the best episodes we’ve seen in a long time, some of the worst episodes we’ve seen in a long time and an absolutely gorgeous and talented actor being wasted in a horrible storyline #PoorPeter

Is Elliot Roth's,(aka the von Leuschner lawyer), loved one going to have ties to Salem?

It seemed rather foreshadowing that they showed him talking and phone and saying he would be home soon.  Also, given his history of going to drag shows, and the obvious lack of gendered language when speaking to his partner, is Elliot also going to be gay?  Because they could've just re-used the actor who played Dimitri's family member to do all of this inheritance stuff.  So, I wonder if there's a story arc for Mr. Roth...

Today was an improvement over yesterday. Just the storylines themselves made this episode better. Clearly, yesterday’s main storyline is a failure on every level. 

Welcome to Salem, Dick Van Dyke! 

It’s so great to see him working again. He really is a national treasure. And I actually enjoyed the little *wink**wink* to Mary Poppins too.

I have mixed feelings about what his storyline may turn out to be. I don’t necessarily hate it, but it’s been done before, so many times already. Can’t wait to see Monday’s episode again

For the first time in a while, I actually found Abe’s storyline interesting as well. His reaction today to Paulina and the date that they had just seems so natural and organic considering everything he’s been through. I do wish we could have seen their date though. 

I also really liked the ending of today as well. Despite the casting rumors, I think this could be a really good storyline for Brady and everyone around him. Kristen and her demon spawn still can just go away

Is Dick Van Dyke John's dad?  Are we going down that road again?

Good show today overall though.  I don't understand why Theresa's appearance got wacky background music when last we heard she was a stable, good mother to Tate and Brady spoke positively of her.

No, I don't think you're wrong. John's biological father is gonna come up. Where they're gonna go with it, no idea!

I hope they do not retcon anything! As far as I know he is John Black and he is Forrest Alamain but there is no reason for him to go by that name.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time. 
    • 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.
