We know it wasn't Hoagie & it wasn't Goutman, so that rules out one HW & one EP. I'm sure it wasn't Laurie Caso so there's another EP. Leaves John Valente & FMB. FMB came from ABC. We called her tenure the ABC-ification of ATWT. Black & Stern had no idea what they were doing. Les Moonves recommended them which shows that he didn't know what he was doing either. 1995 was when P&G did the executive shuffle & sent the EP from one show to another between AW & ATWT & GL. Jill went from GL to AW. Valente went from AW to ATWT. Laurie Caso after 40+ yrs with the company got left out in the cold. Who's left? And, it is some writer before Hoagie came in & Barbara was in good shape again!

I ended up FF’ing through some scenes lol couldn’t handle the screen chewing and non-performances of this Jordan mess.

@YRfan23 this whole thing reminded me of the Sarah Smythe story the show did in 2010, and that’s not a good thing.

Nate and Audra totally should have staged takeover of Newman with Tucker in the absence of the Nemans.

A bit off to see Billy, Nate, and Audra fret in Crimson Lights when really it should have been Sharon, Summer and Adam while they filled in a clueless Abby.

This Jordan/Eve plot has more holes in it than a bathhouse on  a Friday night in 1975!

How did Jordan get poison into the bottled water?

What happened with the private jet crew -are they just hanging around the airport?

Newman Security strikes again-the whole family heads out of town and nobody is alerted.

And the baby switch- wouldn't the parents of the dead baby missing a baby?

If Eve was sickly wouldn't she be under strict observation. How would Jordan gain access? And how could she look after a very ill infant?

They should have made Jordan a former nurse, that would explain the hospital access, caring for a sickly baby, and at least a little about administering the poison.  They could have explained that over the years, she had been fired from multiple hospitals for doing inappropriate things. They should have also had a throw away line about the private jet and the crew.  A few details similar to those thrown into the script here and there would make this plot much more believable.

Victoria, Victor, and Nick have been gone from Genoa City less than a day, maybe only a few hours. They took the private jet from Genoa City, Wisconsin to whatever airport is nearest to wherever Jordan lives in Oregon.  Jordan and Claire haven't changed clothes since Jordan's first appearance.   This sequence of luring, traveling, capture, poisoning, stabbing, antidote, police arrival, and arrest ... has played out in a few hours of character time.

wtf?

Lorraine Broderick was HW and Felicia Behr was EP. Colleen said she didn't care for them and were the worst. She mentioned they never wrote for Barbara. They were also the team that fired Liz Hubbard and Allison Rice.

    • 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.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
