Coming into August (yay!), it does seem like the show is finding its groove and going through one of its good periods aka more than ONE storyline going on. And they are fairly balanced out as well as intriguing. 

 

This rivalry between Katie and Poppy has been...popping. Hehe. Pun intended. Just when it looked like Katie might be getting one over Poppy, Poppy went right ahead and told Bill about her past with Tom and the possibility that he could have been Luna's dad. So...your move, Katie. lol. I guess I'm missed HT in Victoria mode for a long time so it's good to see her mixed it up with another female. 

 

And that filters into the whole murder mystery. Who killed Hollis and Tom? Could it be someone from Poppy's past that we don't know about? Or is there someone on canvas that has a connection to Poppy that we don't know about? Or could Bill had already known before Poppy said anything? it does seem like Justin will be around for a while. Though I would hate to see a Barber being a killer. 

 

The Return of Brooke's Bedroom continues to be goofy fun. And KKL has been looking great. And goodness knows I have enjoyed Steffy rolling her eyes...right into losing her passport. 

 

And now...here comes Will...at last...feels like things are looking up.

I would hope so since at one point she was his father's sister. lol. Respect.

I hope he gets the chance to shine on his own, without the constant comparisons. I know how being always compared to a famous relative can be... hard. I prefer to think of him as Crew Morrow and not someone's son. I am rooting for him to maybe be our first lead gay character... or at least a smart villain that can stir the pot.

The acting standard is not that high, so if he doesn't scream like Poppy and doesn't cry like Finn... I'm good to go. Just needs to reduce the head-movements a bit and maybe a different haircut - and he's good to go.

I'm sure the acting standard isn't high. But one thing that Bell soaps could do...and some ABC shows...was putting newbies with vets. Bonus if they were vets known for their awesome acting. It used to help a newbie grow up quickly. I know it's debatable, but it worked with JM being around HT on Y&R so I feel good about his son being around her now. And DD can bring it as well so it just depends on who he will be orbitting going forward.

Anything above the level of cringe that we had to endure when Finn was mourning Sheila is great by me. I just can't stand wooden-emotionless acting. As an actor myself, it just irks me, seeing the missed opportunities. Crew Morrow, even from his 1-2 scenes, has shown to have potential and even if he is not Al Pacino, he is not Liberty Biberty and he has charisma that will work in the show. Just the head movements - but maybe it's a pet peeve I have. Late Hunter Tylo used to shake her head so much, I would get dizzy watching her.

He wasn't on today's episode.

Today's episode sucked!

Hope having her Finn massage and kisses fantasies.

Seeing rapist Zende.

Luna and Poppi and the ridiculous murders.

So Ridge and Brooke went all the way to Monte Carlo to show a lame video?

That video with various unknowns watching it was soooooo bad!

The show seems so outdated.

It really needs someone to freshen this soap because its not Bradley that will do it.

After more than a year, I decided to binge last week's B&B.

As others have pointed out, the show finally has a few stories going on.

Using the umbrella story of the Tom/Hollis murders made the interactions between Katie/Poppy a lot more interesting. This is the version of Katie (Victoria) I strongly prefer.

It was interesting enough that I'll binge this week's over the weekend.

      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.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
