Hooray! Today I know that Henry Newman was the day's script writer!!! 

Stephanie/Chad/Everett/ the whole thing bores me. Everett had a years old engagement ring in his laptop case. Oh so lame. Steph brainstorming & pacing while Everett types. How great it is that Leo & Dimitri are there. Really? The only reason they're there is because in their haste to escape prosecution they caused a terrible wreck. Yes it's all their fault! 

Kayla on the phone to Joey, again, hooray! Then Steve gets back from Greece. Now we the audience know that Constantin is up to no good. But, didn't Steve seem way too suspicious? But, we heard Kayla, next year everyone together for the holidays. 

It was really another lack luster day, wasn't it?

Today was ok overall.

Though the day to day episodes sometimes range from good to awful, I’m still optimistic about most of the storylines themselves. There are so many secrets brewing right now and I really hope the show goes all out once they come out. Add multiple layers and dynamics to each storyline. Make it so that nothing is ever the same again for as many of these characters as they can.

WTG, Steve!

Still have mixed feelings about this storyline but I like how smart he was today. Surprisingly, Kayla was unnecessary in those scenes, with her random pop in lines defending Konstantin. It would have been more in character if those lines had come from Sarah. I do hope Maggie has her guard up though, now that she knows about some of the lies.  

And I keep forgetting that Maggie and Theresa were once really close. Maybe that’s EOB’s fault. She’s not Theresa and she never will be. 

But I do have to say, despite RSW’s acting, his Konstantin impression was spot on

And yeah, Xander really should have given Gwen a heads up before he lied to Everett, just sayin lol

I wonder why Steve and John didn't go to confront Costantin together.  I know, I know.  Budget.  But I think two men that Maggie has known for years might have made more impact instead of looking like Steve was just throwing out these allegations wildly.

Sarah really needs some female friends her own age.  I don't mind Kayla as a talk to, but I was thinking Sarah truly has no female friends at all.  Maybe she should go hang out with Jada and they can bond over both being pregnant by Eric.

I am not going to lie Xander really did deserve that punch.  Alex/Theresa were pretty much minding their own business and he just starts going into her in public just because?  How rude lol.

I love how Chad's FOOLPROOF plan was blown up in about 10 minutes because Everett was smart enough to clarify things and just call Gwen.  It's rare for someone in Salem to use their brain and follow the logical path for answers.

Definitely. John should have been there. 

It was just crazy. Although I did love the foreshadowing. 

This is going to blow up in Chad's face. And the worst of it is that they're so boring I can't even get worked up over that. It is funny, though that Gwen could be pissed at their PR approach defense of Leo. At least I think they've played it that when Gwen left town she was ready to tear Leo a new one. 

Today we had no Ava & no Ari & it shows! 

I was proud of Peacock today. The credits ran just like they should!

I like that Nicole let Holly know about the baby. I hope she ends up really believing that the baby is alive too. Her being a part of that storyline could also lead to her own storyline moving forward. Tying it to Tate and Johnny/Chanel could be really good. As for her final scenes today with Eric, I heard spoilers about the DNA test but I didn’t know that she was going to be the one to get the ball rolling. Hopefully, they don’t take the easy way out and have Sloan just switch the results again.

Speaking of Sloan, I’m still shipping a #Slimitri one night stand, even though I know it’ll never happen

Have them build a friendship first, bonding over this whole situation. Sloan could confide in him over how guilty she feels, how the guilt is destroying her, etc,. And then Bang! After a while, Dimitri gives her some comfort

It would be in character for Dimitri because he’s so flawed. And him questioning his sexuality could be really good. Besides, Leo totally deserves it. And best of all, it would free Dimitri up to pair him with Andrew

On other fronts, Alex was pretty dumb today but I expected that lol this is totally in character for him. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Maggie. It would be pretty good if it turned out that she actually was lying and planning to trick Konstantin.

I was amazed that they're moving so fast! I really liked the involvement of Holly & also her taking the initiative! Also they seem to be writing her smart. I hope that doesn't change. 

The only thing appealing about this possibly pie-in-the-sky idea of a Sloan/Dimitri roll in the hay is that it would pierce Leo's heart & he totally deserves to have that happen. 

Maybe Theresa is a female Alex! 

I was very glad when she said he had to go but then less so when she agreed to pay for anything & everything. 

Again I'm in love with Ari's performance. SoapHub gave out what they're calling the November Powerhouse Performer status & DAYS is Ari, of course.

OK, let's say my lover/roommate had not made their bed today.  I'd still be more willing to make love on a mattress than a sofa (ie Alex and Theresa).  Meanwhile, I'm certain to be alone on this one, but their chemistry was pretty hot.  NGL, I enjoy a Thursday love scene.

@AbcNbc247 Why did Sloan tell Dimitri that the charged against Leo would be dropped by morning, if that's not what EJ said?

Hey, the man wants to be on contract. We want him to be on contract. His onscreen boyfriend wants him to be contract.

I say, just do it

Oh, that’s a given

But it would also finally be something good for Peter Porte to do. He’s being wasted right now and a storyline like that could finally give him the chance to flex his acting muscles 

Idk lol

I guess to get him off her back

The timing of Alex's punch was way off.

Xander, “Uncle Victor would be so disappointed that his secret son put all of his faith in this worthless piece of ....”

1 beat, 2 beats, 3 beats

Punch

Regardless of the fact that nobody has ever referred to someone as a 'secret son', Xander could've finished his sentence, jogged around the block, and ate a sandwich in the time it took Alex to throw a punch.  The editing completely took me out of the scene.

    • 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.
