There is no disconnect, and calling it one doesn't make it so.

I responded directly to what you said. If you disagree with me, fine, but don't act as if I'm in some parallel universe, making comments out of nowhere.

I made multiple posts here -- probably too many -- because the discussion went beyond the storyline to implications that I condone and excuse rape. Pushing back against that does not mean I think "it's all about me," and I'm not going to run away when someone thinks of me as a rape apologist.

OMG...I just couldn't with Hope today. I can't believe she told Deacon that she was tired of people telling her they had "changed" when they hadn't, and that's why she can't trust Sheila. Uhhhh, hello? That's the same exact same relationship she has with Thomas, the guy who drove Emma off a cliff and told Hope her baby was dead. The scene would have been so much better if Sheila had pointed out her hypocrisy. I do think Sheila's visit needs to wrapped up. There's just so much you can do with the character after all she's done. She should push Liam off a cliff on her way out though. It would make more sense to bring back the kid she had with Massimo to be the "new Sheila" without all the baggage.

The whole RJ/Luna/Zende mess is a...mess. If I never hear the word "mints" again. Just when they started to do something with Zende and this actor for the first time, they give the character this horrendous storyline. There's no way he wouldn't have known something was off with Luna. He was just at a party right before pledging her love for RJ, and then she was waiting for Zende in his bed??? Not only does it make him look like a rapist, despite what all the characters are saying, but also an a*&hole for sleeping with his cousin's girlfriend!

I was hoping to see an early prewiew of Hollis instead I got....

The rapist telling the victim maybe the rape happened for a reason. So they can be together more easily. The rapist tells the victim to end it with the boyfriend to be with him.

What horrible writing by Rex M. Best and Bradley Bell.

OMG...could this storyline get ANY worse? Zende's solution is for Luna to break up with RJ and be with HIM??? Really?

Probably the only person who hates this story more than the viewers is the actor that plays Zende. They've completely written the character into a horrible corner. 

Also, if I hear the word "mints" one more damn time...

Meanwhile, Hope's at the office making out with the dude who told her her baby was dead. This show is so misogynistic. Time and time again, women on the show turn to men who treat them like trash. How many times has Ridge tossed Brooke aside, for instance? Liam waffled back and forth between Steffy and Hope treating both of them like crap for years.

I would love to see this show written by a WOMAN for a change.

    • Yea, that's been nice to watch this week.

      date: Wednesday, June 4 | Sara A. Bible, Danielle Paige | Phideaux Xavier Anita is definitely lost in space. The space of her own mind and history. Oh, hello, miss eye-sex at the bar of Uptown! I see you eye-sexing Ms Chelsea! We love to see it. Shanice stopped Dana dead in her tracks. Good on her. It comes out: Barbara was the fourth Articulette, started the group, came up with the name, etc. Dante Greene is about to become the most hated man to exist in this universe, and that's a high-level position that many covet. I appreciate seeing Anita own up to her wrongdoings and that Vernon is still by her side. So, Sharon wants to use Anita for her own benefit, and that does surprise me. That ugliness is right there. At least Tracy, outwardly, seems more open to forgiving Anita and reuniting for the one-off concert. I had a feeling it might've been a stroke (or mini-stroke) but did not want to admit it. It hits close to home for me. Very close. Oh, that glimmer and gleam in Bill's eye and that ever-so-slight smirk on his face of Dani checking on him at the hospital. Yeah. He's still got it for her. Vernon continues to be a wise man with some wisdom unlike any other, and I love that he's getting through to Anita. Ugh. Sharon, you're ugly, ugly, ugly. You will reap what you sow. That's right, child bride, watch the woman that knows your husband better than you ever could. Katherine, mama, sit down and be careful. Now this is in the firm hands of Jacob and the police department. Dana, barking up Andre's tree. She works fast. Like a bitch in heat, fast. The one thing Tracy has with Anita that unites them is their love for Barbara and acknowledging her as part of the Articulette's history. Andre, you big dumb dumb. You never saw the suspect the footage before the police can. Ugh. Notes: For the first time in a while, we see Tide and get a commercial right after.
    • I feel like they've worked out the kinks with most of the wigs (notably: Anita, Kat & Chelsea) but they still haven't gotten it right with Naomi. They need to cut her a custom hairline to account for her widows peak. I also don't think you can do a side part without addressing that.
    • There's nothing about the Kyle/Claire pairing that makes me say "Damn, I really want them together."   Yep. Everything interesting about her was swept away.   We were supposed to be moved by that bracelet, but all I could think of was "We never see these kids." Oh, and hearing Harrison had a charm was LOL   Exactly. It's vets rinsing and repeating all the old hits. Josh Griffith thinks honoring history means giving us the same stories over again. Where are the young people on this show? WTH is going on? Cole is a perfect example to represent everything JG is. He does reference history and bring characters back, but it's invariably a huge disappointment. Cole has done NOTHING since his return. Now he's sick, and instead of us worrying about him, we're smirking because these wealthy people won't call a doctor. I don't think anyone cares if he lives or dies.   Complete disaster. The Alexander Dumas story is the worst of all. ALL this buildup for ALL these months -- you just know it's going to land with a thud. Even the best writer couldn't follow through with something good. Will any of it matter? Two days after we see all these shocked faces when Dumas appears, we'll be back to talking about takeovers and changes in job titles.   None of this will change unless Josh Griffith is fired, and unfortunately, the ratings aren't calling for a firing. I will never understand why Y&R and B&B are immune to long periods of relly bad storytelling.
    • I find Kat annoying but Colby plays the part well! I do like the antagonism between Kat/Eva and Kat/Leslie.  Leslie has balls. I found it a bit annoying at first, but at least the writers are keeping it as a throughline. The "twist" of Eva hiding the evidence to protect Leslie was nice. I hope it's a way to keep Leslie going longer. I was afraid she'd get written into a corner and she's one of the best finds of the show.  Tamara is nailing her scenes. I was losing interest in the Articulettes, but Barbara's suicide and now Sharon wanting to use the reunion to push herself at Anita's expense have me interested again.  Nice to see Dani tone it down with Bill and Hayley.

        Naomi's wig is sliding!
    • Uh oh, is Bill giving Dani some hope here? He appreciated her concern, so it's not all hate there. Hayley doesn't seem so pleased.

      This dumb bish is leaving a trail of witnesses to corroborate her crashing out
    • For all of Kat's interest in "true crime" shows, she doesn't seem to understand some things.  I mean, you don't tell the suspect your suspicions too early -- you don't want the suspect to cover it up before there's enough for an arrest.  Kat shouldn't have told Leslie that she'd found the jacket and the receipts.
