I've been forced to watch some of the past 2 days of this show and I'm astounded we're telling this type of lazy, tone deaf story in 2024. It's unwatchable and all I feel is sympathy for the actors who have to act it out.

They're telling a story of this young girl basically being drugged and raped without telling that story. It's gross. She immediately believed Zende's version of events, they even had her say something like "Of course you wouldn't force yourself on me!". How do you know?? And how do the writers even enjoy writing this crap?

Yes, her not even questioning Zende's motives was insane. Who wouldn't at least question it?? She barely knows Zende.

Poor Zende. They're writing him into a corner with this crap.

They could have told a similar but much less damaging story. On Poppy's special mints...don't even get me started on the mints...she climbs into Zende's bed. When he gets home, Zende is shocked to see her there just as RJ walks in on Zende and Luna trying to figure out how this happened. It would be enough to plant doubts in RJ's head about Luna.

After sobbing for most of the episode and a fake out.... Poppy finally tells Luna those were her mints.

Mom you drugged me? 

Terrible episode.

Those missing it due to preemptions aren't missing a thing.

These are my soap binge hours. I have terrible sleeping schedule lately - watching soaps till 6 in the morning and sleeping for 4-5 hours.  I just can't enjoy the shows with my husband and the dog around. I need to be completely alone to watch and feel the emotion.  When you add a glass of wine... I have a soap party every night.

    • 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.
