That was the first thing that came to mind, especially after reading a spoiler about

And in the past few weeks I’ve gotten very selective with what I will watch on the DVR even more so than usual, especially with having to FF through the recent Newman family dreck.

Watching(skimming) through todays ep I am puzzled by some of the staging.

Billy is in the park and Chelsea appears. Then they are chatting at CL. 

Why not have Chelsea simply appear at CL while Billy is there?

Nick/Victoria confront Victor at his office. He then leaves with Nate. Nate and Victor then chat in the park. Seems an odd choice. Why not have Victor stay in the office-seems more appropriate. Nick/Victoria could go to the park or appear at CL -Billy/Chelsea have already adjourned to bed.

Nick/Victoria talk to Adam at the GCAC lobby area and then chat at GCAC.

Meanwhile Mariah and Cole chat at Society. Their convo goes on throughout the ep while other characters have moved on to new locales. Must have been a very long catchup for Mariah/Kyle. Billy appears -he's already had chats with Chelsea at the park/at CL and a sex romp upstairs.

It seems like a lot of these scenes may be taped on different days. The scene is written and then takes place at whatever set is available that day.

Otherwise the choice of sets seems weird.

Oh, Lord. Chelsea is back. SNOOZE.

The show needs more new blood like Claire to mix things up.

That being said, I wonder why the show hasn't also put Heather in Adam's orbit. That would make sense and add conflict to Daniel's story if he disapproves.

I watched. Lots of Danny and Nina flashbacks with Cricket. Some with Phyliss and one with Michael and a few with Paul. 

Doug Davidson screwed up! He could've been a part of it in person.

First full episode of YR I've seen in a while. 

Funny Esther was in it serving coffee at crimson lights wearing the same outfit she had on BB and Lauren the same and no mention of LA instead Lauren said she had been with Michael and Gloria.

The furthest back was Nina and Cricket from 1988 after Chance was home from the hospital. There were some clips of Danny and Cricket around 1990, but then basically nothing until the 2000s. There were two clips from the other day...

 

I missed that Esther was wearing the same outfit from LA, LOL! That moment should have been an opportunity to show a Cricket/Kay clip.

 

I truly don't know what LLB thought was in this episode that made it different. It was a typical Y&R episode of characters wandering through the park, coffeehouse, and jazz club, plus old clips (thankfully in color). Same format we've been seeing where they run into someone or talk about someone and then show clips of that person. I still think Nikki's episode was by far the best, because it was her alone reflecting, not this formula. You would think Cricket would have reflected on her first day as a lawyer, or the cases she did, her mom dying of AIDS, being raped or sexually harassed, but it was more about setting up a new contrived triangle with Phyllis and Danny.

There was a lot missing. Cricket had so many interactions with many in GC. I guess they didn't want to pay any more quarter residuals to former cast members.

Somehow, Paul will probably turn his appearance on the show into a Twitter rant.  

I didn't think the episode was anything very spectacular or unique.  But I did enjoy the final scene.  Nothing too dramatic, rushed, or "climactic", just two folks who've know each other for 40 years chilling in a way they've often done in the past.

    • 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.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
