Today's episode was incredibly boring. I am not buying the Thomas-Paris thing at all. Once again Bradley is fooling us with cheap telenovela twists. We saw that coming from miles away. You can't surprise us, b-tch. 

And someone needs to tell the editor to stop with these over the top zooming to face shots. It makes the whole vibe infantile. 

P.S I am not loving ANY of the new characters. I'm sorry. None of them work. The actors are not bad, but Bradley is struggling to write for all of them. Poppy makes me so confused. I don't know what the direction of this character is. Or if there is a direction.

I'm still not convinced that Bill is the daddy. I think Li set up that DNA test because she doesn't want the real truth to come out.

I feel like Poppy had potential as a character but the writing is ALL OVER THE PLACE. And, now with the homeless guy making googly eyes at her...sigh.

Also, Luna (I do like the actress), is WAAAAY too perfect. She needs some sort of edge to her. Perfect = boring.

LOL at Paris answering to Douglas' mommy call. So random. First, we haven't seen Paris since when...November. And, now we're supposed to believe that she somehow got engaged to Thomas in the past few months??? What would have been much more interesting would be if Thomas had returned to Paris engaged to Nicole Avant, Zende's ex-wife for which we never got an explanation for on why they divorced. At least that would tie more characters into the story. Paris, due to the writing, has suffered from "Luna-ism"...so perfect she's boring as all hell.

Hope to Thomas (while she shakes uncontrollably with sadness and fear):

"I really thought you returned to restart our lives together, Thomas."

Are you frickin kidding me, Hope? You mean the guy you haven't mentioned in 3 months??? While you've been asking for and getting massages from a married doctor???

The show is a mess. Nothing they are throwing at the audience is sticking.

The Thomas/Paris insta engagement will turn out the same.

Douglas has barely appeared and he's already gotten on my nerves. Bradley sure knows how to ruin even the likeable characters.

Thank you @Jeff!

Hope and Finn looks so awkward next to each-other. They have an actual negative chemistry. They don't look at ALL like a couple or even people who are attracted to each-other. I am also seeing this on screen. Bradley should give it up, before it's too late. Hope and Finn have the same type of negative chemistry that new Ridge and Brooke have. It just feels OFF. I can't describe it. We are human beings and we detect these things as fast as we detect a bad smell. It's in our nature. It's OFF.

And this?  Is this the future? If so, I am... so sad for this show. The ratings will continue to fall. Awkward triangles don't work like they did in 2010, Bradley. Give it up. 

P.S Liam is so badly photoshopped next to Hope in this photo, it's embarrassing.

 

 

 

And sorry, this looks AI generated. And so WRONG. A girl with her boyfriend and rapist. I am gagging. @Soapsuds

Plus... why are they continuing to shoot Brooke with her boring one-beat sisters in bathing suits? Shoot her with Hollis on the beach. Brooke needs to do something NEW.

    • 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.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
