In the most disgusting way possible... I found myself missing my daily toes episode. It's soooo bad it's starting to get addictive. I am ashamed to say this.

You can write my name on the wall of shame.

I really don't want to go down this road again because we've covered it before. However, so many on this board insist on calling this a rape that I have to again voice opposition to that.

Yes, the story is horribly written. It is awful in every respect, and I can understand why people talk about consent, etc. However, I do not think it's fair to call this a rape without examining every step and every fact. I don't think any justice system would convict Zende of rape.

Luna put herself in Zende's bed. She was impaired BUT HE DID NOT KNOW THAT. We have to assume that he was also drinking. She willingly agreed to have sex. Did she know it was Zende? No, but that is irrelevant. ZENDE thought she was saying yes to him. She NEVER said no or tried to stop him.

When "Zende raped Luna" is mentioned on this board, someone who hadn't watched those scenes would think there was sexual assault. That is not what I saw and that is not what happened.

I  have nothing good to say about the writing on BOLD. Nothing. Bradley Bell is scum for writing those scenes and that scenario. Was anything about that story realistic? No. But it also wasn't rape.

I am beyond sympathetic to any victim of sexual assault/sexual violence, but to me it's beyond overboard to call this a rape. I don't think that word should be thrown around like that.

I don't expect to get any support here for my take, because this board seems to have passed judgment and then some. I'm sorry for opening this up again, but with the total mess this story is, I do not understand wanting to convict someone of rape and calling him a rapist.

 

I saw this and wanted to take the time to respond. I personally did not see the scenes because the episode itself was kicked off my possessed tv system before I saw it. Thankfully, B&B is very good...okay overdoes...at their flashbacks. 

 

I did not like that the episode itself appeared to turn into a witch hunt. Or that it triggered people. As someone who has been triggered by things in media I watch...I get that. However, this situation got no trigger...at least for me. And I've seen SA been done much worse to trigger. 

 

That said...my humble opinion is the same as the above. Moreso because I am finally watching 4/15 and 4/16 and the writers PLAY...THE...BEAT. Which love it or hate it so far they are turning on everything you just said. Which to me and them being the writers is also what they felt happened. And they are at least good enough writers to have the counterpoint to it. 

 

I was in awe, they figured out that the Zenda/Luna might be a sensitive subject to some. That they might have written that sloppily and needed to deal with it in some way. For that, I will give them some respect.

 

To me, it was more a misunderstanding (that could have been written better by the writers or not written at all but we all know how I felt about the RJ/Luna/Zende triangle from the beginning) than I would feel is a rape...a word I feel has also been thrown around too loosely.  But now that the discussion has made it on screeen, we can move forward with opinions and not pointed words. 

 

Speaking of...4/15...4/16

 

It was good to finally see Poppy show up. She's vanished so much since the 'mints' appeared. Is she even still with Bill?

 

Yeah, this ten toes storyline is starting to drag. Is it Sheila? Is it Sugar? Is Deacon just losing his mind? lol.

 

No...no more Hope/Liam.

Just a post to say that Sean Kanan is an a-hole.

He posted on X/Twitter last night about a black-on-white crime in NY -- complete with video and some very special coded language. Wally Kurth responded, asking why Kanan made it so political.

Of course, SK denied it, and Wally accepted his denial in a civil, kind, and responsible way. WK made his point.

I thanked Wally for standing up, and when someone gave a LIKE to my post, Kurth gave that a LIKE. An hour later, Wally followed me, so I know I was on the right track about Kanan's post and what Kurth meant in his.

Of course, SK got a lot of support -- mostly from the MAGA crowd.

Others may be different, but when politics and art collide, I cannot forget the politics. It's why I have no use for Kimberlin Brown and it's now why I have no use for Sean Kanan.

Screw them both.

Mmmmm Kkkkkkk.  And this is why I’ll be here more often. Already dislike her for politics so I’m here to follow this. Screw ‘em both.  And good Lawd what happened to this board last night???  Such vulgar posts, But I’m also here for that, so.

I swear...B&B stay using Y&R characters better (and they look better) than they do on Y&R...LOL!!!

 

I've been liking this stuff with RJ vs Zende. I guess I can say the actor might look silly, but at least he is trying. And he did seem angry to me. Thought there's been a few moments when ironically he echoed RM's Ridge. For better or for worse. I don't like that it appears that RJ is now going to turn this around on Luna though. But least...movement.

 

And going back to my first comment...HELLO, LAUREN!!! I was just about to get annoyed that this was a fly-in cameo regardless of next week promos. But I liked how they did Lauren's appearance. They set it up with her checking in on Eric...which I forgot about his being deathly ill. So of course she would come and see. And she got to figure out what was going on. Then she saw Deacon and called him out. And then I realized...duh...Lauren had some history with Sugar...whether the writers acknowledge it or not heehee...so her being the cliffhanger was cool. The fact LAUREN was the cliffhanger. All Deacon has been doing has been hoping to figure out who Sugar is...and now he has someone. Movement.

 

Well done.

Besides Sheila/Deacon, the rest of the show was just FF. We did not need, in the least, for Liam and Steffy to basically repeat the same tired dialogue they said on Friday to each other.

Write a "B-story" for God's sake!!

Revealing Sugar’s actual name, Janet Webber, was a nice touch, as the name is a compound of both of Robin Mattson’s most famous roles. That B&B is finally acknowledging the doppelgänger/bomb shelter storyline makes me wonder if they’ll ever try to explain Pheila (Probably not).
