Is this really how 2024 is starting? Is it? With this lack of taste stupid storyline that we'll forget in weeks? This is what he got for us? With RJ, the new kid on the block who we are still warming up to? And nothing major happening or about to happen? With no real stakes anywhere? With this appalling dialogue and Eric dying every other day? With Donna's fake crying every other day? 

How did Bell write himself in this corner? Yikes. 2020-2024 has been the worst period this show has ever had. And I am not dramatizing. Worst in terms of storyline, quality of dialogue, production. Even the wardrobe has never been worse. Are we supposed to believe the young macho muscle guy RJ, even if in the fashion world, will wear these absurd Zara-type shirts? Give this boy some handsome clothes. 

The shows need to either do a complete revamp and completely change course or go back to basics and more classic stories. 

RJ and Luna are written in such rushed, fake manner, with the actors having Zero chemistry, that it's making my head spin. And as much as I like seeing his bulging muscles, there is too much RJ too soon. There is no build up to this and I am confused why should I care.

Why is everything so one dimensional with no build up? Why?

And how many times do we need to suffer through Eric Forrester and Donna Escort Logan?

I am tired of this sympathy essay towards Eric. Imagine in two years, when they really need to kill him off, they will do it in like 5 episodes and be done with it. And I don't need to see Donna, the escort, in virginal white telling her teddy bear how much she loves him. I am tired of the repeated dialogue.

Why is it that this soap opera is more boring than the drama in this forum?

Sorry for this rant. I just can't stomach Bradley Bell Anymore. His writing gives me reflux.

Li attacking Poppy again is getting tiring very quickly. Especially when it comes off cold and mean and not one bit of sympathy for her sister.

Zende is a saint people. He did nothing wrong. It was the mints. The acting by the actor that plays Zende... Yikes

Poppy finds out about Luna and what happened to her special mints.

Seriously what an awful story. Reminds me of the tainted biscuits mess on Days.

Bradley must be watching Days online.

    • 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.
