I am loving Annika these past few episodes. This girl is bringing it constantly - she deserves a proper storyline. JMW too. They BOTH need something MORE. Bradley - just copy/paste some of your father's storylines from the 80s and let us enjoy something, don't try to be original, doll.

I'd love to see Steffy and Hope in stories that gave them more to do than bicker with each other or fight over the same dullard of a dude (Liam, Finn...yada yada). Both actresses can do...and deserve...a LOT more! I am enjoying a feistier Hope. That poor actress had to cry in about almost every episode for....years! It's nice to see her do some fun things for a change.

Watching the show today...I thought that Carter and Hope would look hot together if they could craft the right story. God knows LSV is someone else who deserves sooo much more than they give him!

Katie needs a hobby. Being jealous over Bill again is a yawn. I still don't know WHO Poppy is... she's so ill-defined, but I'm hoping she is messy and a bit underhanded. Luna needs a edge badly. She's TOO perfect.

I could care less who killed the homeless rocker dude and Hollis (as handsome as he was). It's soooo contrived.

Yes to all of this. And Poppy's 15 second scream because someone was opening a door was... why a lot of people think soap operas are the worst of the worst on TV.

I am not feeling any of the new characters. Any of them. They are incredibly underdeveloped. This is a problem Bradley has always had with trying new paths and new personalities. He just can't do it most of the time, bores of them easily and always has to go back to basics which is opening Brooke's legs. Or some boring triangle with Liam in it.

One thing that irked me about the script is the complete lack of realism in the past few episodes. Luna coming in from outside, seeing Will for the first time in flesh and asking "Who are you?" was absolutely absurd, SINCE NuWill's photo was standing just behind him IN A FRAME. You can't tell me that Luna and Poppy HAVEN'T looked at the few pictures that are framed in the living room. I mean... if they haven't... then this is idiotic. Idiotic writing. Reminds me of Poppy asking Katie who is this... when she met her, all while she was sleeping and practically living in Bill's house. Katie's picture is also up there and even if it wasn't, just a QUICK google search about Bill will show you who she is.

So, yeah, Bradley once again writing, like we are 13 year old.

I thought the SAME THING. Dude's picture was sitting on the mantle! Are we supposed to believe that Luna never noticed it, or Bill never showed it to her? It shouldn't have taken much for Luna to put 1 + 1 together to come up with it's Will standing in front of her. Poor Luna is not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.

Bill's "mansion" looks like it's six feet wide.

Right! And how are we supposed to care about these characters when they are written like that? I mean... and even if the picture WAS not behind him, out of sheer respect to your newfound dad... and family... why wouldn't she look Will up on google or facebook. We are not living in the 1980s anymore. The plot holes in this show are like the Mariana trench.

CM has some of the same tics his dad has in acting. He has that same frat boy vibe his dad has too.

Why is his mouth/facial reactions half crooked?

CM doesn't pass as Bill's son look wise. 

Yes I watched

I was curious

DID Luna accuses Poppy of killing the homeless guy after finding the mysterious backpack and letters claiming she's the daughter of a homeless guy.

Seriously Bill treated Katie like sh!t! Why would she care about him?

Finn is a wimp. He does nothing for me anymore.

    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • 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.
