While I'm here...I don't like that RJ hijacked the story that should have been for Thomas with Zende. Is Zende even in the same age group with RJ?

 

That said...Zende giving off Maya vibes pre-transgender reveal a la schemer...I don't mind at all.

LMAO I actually started laughing when he did that AGAIN today. That's all he ever says! And honestly, John McCook is playing all of this badly. It's a complete caricature of a dying guy with those coughs and bad posture.

Then there's everyone standing around talking about Eric dying. Every day. That's all anyone does.

And now? LET'S HAVE A PARTY!!!

Eric at the party

“All this food is delicious. Too bad I won’t be able to eat it anymore.”

“This’ll be my last party ever”

“But don’t be upset. Don’t start crying. No reason for it”

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The writing for Carter is so patronizing it makes me cringe.

I can see Brad Bell telling the writers "Make sure Carter is referred to as family at least 3 times so the audience knows we care about Black people. As we go around the room and let each character speak at least one line, make sure Carter gets a line, too -- and that he expresses his gratitude at being a part of the Forrester family."

Revolting.

eric likes being behind the desk

I'm getting tired of Eric's church finger.

Friday's final scene with Eric & Donna wasn't bad (and I am not a fan of the pairing).

So Carter is "family" now and knows about Eric before Zende?

Speaking of Carter, he and Katie didn't have any dialogue.  Are they together or did they part off-screen??

It's very strange. I think we're supposed to assume they're a couple, but they don't actually gets scenes together or any scraps of a storyline. I think there's a lot of potential there, but it's not explored at all.

Point Heather Tom has turned into a glorified extra at this point. There's no point to the character being there or included in the scenes she's in.

I get while Eric is pointless character, but the hate and the disgust some people here feel towards this old man is... strange. I guess he lack the abs of Tanner Novlan and that is why. LOL

    • 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.
