We're in yet another holding pattern with characters just repeating the same words over and over again.

Why couldn't Bill and Liam's scenes be replaced by a B-story to mix things up? This is why it feels like stories come out of nowhere. There's no build-up with stories at the different start points.

Why can't these people find ONE other restaurant in LA to eat at??? lol

The dialogue is out of control bad... there was this moment where RJ was telling Luna something like - Thank you for being such a truthful and honest person. I mean... who says this to someone else? It's so obvious to make us say... AHA! But she isn't! So one-dimensional. A guy with RJ's body and age... will not be talking to Luna like he is a 65 year old man. He will be doing other things... 

It's so UNNATURAL and out of touch with the reality how YOUNGER PEOPLE talk and communicate.

WE NEED A NEW HEAD WRITER ASAP.

@Althea Davis@1974mdp I used to *pitch* that B&B should have the younger characters clubbing, experimenting, fastlife, etc. especially in LA fashion world.

After seeing that B&B's average viewer is 70 yo, I understand why that's never happened. If B&B and soaps could draw in younger demos, it could be more Gossip Girl than Golden Girls, but it's not. Of course, I'm sure those watching via Paramount are far younger, but still it's a tough road to draw younger.

There's so many fun things that could be explored just by the fact that show is set in LA. How has there never been a character that's been an actor, for instance? The show should have a fun younger set that explores more of the city.

Just listen to Bold live. That's all you need.

Casey: Yes your are live with Kimberlin. What's your question?

Idiot female caller: What dress would Sheila wear if she married Deacon?

Lord!

LMAO, and yes that person is right, this show doesn't use foreshadowing or anvils or whatnot. That drives me crazy that some see anvils in literally every single thing. Aaaah the days of watching soaps pre social media lol

You're right Ron that's so the type of question they'd get

How bored KKL must be... that in months and months the only 2 scenes she is doing on repeat are 1 - smiling and hugging Ridge and telling how excited she is to be with him and 2 - asking Hope is she really thinks Thomas is the right man.

Sometimes when I am watching this for the 2934839th time I get a feeling of creepy deja vu. The REPETITIVENESS AT THIS LEVEL is new even for this show.

I mean... imagine going to work every day, getting in makeup and wonderful wardrobe to repeat the same type of scene you did yesterday and the day before.

Back in the day, even in the most boring years... there was at least the camp and the over the top lines. Now it's flatline of Boring and Repetitive.

I really will gag the next time I see Brooke gush when she sees her on and off husband for 4 decades - Ridge. We are really tired of them hugging and kissing and telling each-other how much the love each-other. Really tired. WE GOT IT - WE heard it the first 6490 times.

And then Hope, who is how OLD? Talking to her mother like she is 16... GIVE ME A BREAK.

    • 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.
