Gotta say it again... #PoorJagger

He got the Nina treatment, only a lot worse. I seriously wonder what the original plan was for him. Pikeman? A pairing with Carly? A pairing with Ava? The shift was so obvious and I'm still wondering why that was all approved if it was disliked so much that it got scrapped as soon as Patrick Mulcahey left. Did King Mo lead another charge against another head writer?

And it's too bad. Not only because a popular character got trashed, but because Adam J. Harrington had a lot of potential. I know some of y'all didn't like him from the very beginning, but I think he could have done really well on GH. He just never got a chance. 

But I also gotta say that, except for that blatant propaganda, these last few weeks and especially this week have been great. Honestly, the best sweeps since February 2023. There was so much depth in so many storylines and characters. They really went there and didn't hold back, in so many episodes and I'm really impressed by that. There are still some lousy stuff onscreen (Heather's thing, Deception) but it really does get overshadowed by all the good stuff that's happening. 

And of course, #Drillow 

There was a lot of tension built up between yesterday and today and it had me hooked. That's how you grab the audience and get them to keep tuning in. Somebody really ought to show those scenes to a certain former head writer (and his obsessed #1 fan) at Days.

And, if Gio does turn out to be Dante and Brook Lynn's son from 2010, that's definitely another huge rewrite by Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten. Wasn't he originally gonna turn out to be a long lost son of Drew's?

Do we know if Stone's mother is dead?  I can't recall all the details of Nightshift right now, but I didn't think Jagger said his mother was deceased.  Just not around.  Literally, with the love of baby rabies this show has the mother will pop up immediately lol.

Jagger still has a living sister as well.

LOL...Vanessa definitely brought the buzz. 

 

You make me wonder if I can find that promo. I am now curious. Perhaps some time this weekend once my work schedule settles.

Slowly catching up so good to hear you say that. And it's not even Sweeps yet lol.

I suppose. In 2010 he was not even a glimmer of an option for her.  And they spent a thousand years in Rome where Jason and Brenda would just bicker and argue and then Brenda would be like sit with me while I sleep like a weirdo.  It was an act that got old fast, but whatever.   I'd watch it now with no problem.

    • 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.
