Yeah, I get why they named their kid Donna in tribute.   I just don't no how many people are currently naming their kids Donna.  If the little girl wasn't so adorable I'd move to kill her off.

I would agree Theresa is much more common at least.  I have met a few Jeannie's in my life, but they were much older than me lol.

I think technically Belle was supposed to be conceived on the plane since it was the same night as Roman/Marlena's anniversary and Marlena was with both men.  I just think through the years the show has changed it to the conference room table because that was the more scandalous and memorable of the two hookups.

There are people who disliking Sonny as much as they do, who indeed do want Donna done away with, and the dimples for them just make it worse.Me, generally I am not into killing of children, although we do know I have called for Violet and sometimes Charlotte to meet that end!

Yeah, that whole time when we weren't sure who Belle's papa was, it was important that she had been with both men. What a slut! Do we even know if she grabbed a shower in between?

Donna doesn't need to exist in the first place.  We can keep her and sacrifice Violet though.

 

IIRC, they didn't show the love scene between Roman/Marlena.  Roman just said that they were together later on.   So hopefully she did shower in between, but she definitely went through the entire anniversary party without showering or changing her clothes lol.

I don't think the idea of a soap within a soap is bad.  I like Kate/Abe working together, I like Johnny being a part of it, I even don't mind Leo writing it.   It's the fact that Ron & co think it's the most hilarious idea anyone's ever had and they are so clever.   It makes me feel like they are making fun of their own audience and soaps are so silly and dumb.

Exactly.

The way all the humor gets written, it doesn’t come off as having respect for the genre or the actors or the fanbase. Or paying tribute to them. It comes off as having contempt for it all.

Seriously, Ron and Jamey are like the Friedberg and Seltzer of soaps.

I swear they hate their own show and their own dwindling fans.

I hate to feel stupid for watching the show everyday, caring this much, and even discussing it with others because this Body & Soul stuff is written as not laughing with us as an audience, but at us. 

Like I said, I hope the actors enjoy playing it at least.

The sum total enjoyment I have gotten out of this iteration so far at least is Hattie (who I do not like) calling Bonnie (who I do not like) her ex-cellmate, "Bon" &  then delivering the line, "For the love of pickled herring, .." That is pretty damn thin & is not going to hold me for very long.

I think you've hit the nail on the head, because this is not a parody of soaps, it is a parody based on how gullible and frenzied soap fans can be.  If RonC was this tortured by his audience, I hope he's found some peace now that he is out of a job. 

On a positive note, Deidre Hall looks great with a bolder lip color.

I will say I enjoyed the Johnny/Ava scenes.  I completely forgot they even knew one another then I remember their flirtation awhile back.

I often think Deidre Hall almost looks better as Hattie than as Marlena.  I know her outfits are supposed to be "goofy" and "silly", but they are often more figure flattering and her make up and hair look better.

I think there is a serious issue on how the show puts together episodes.  I really don't know all the nuances of producing and editing a show, but we know they have months and months of episodes done.   

Having mustache twirling serial killer Connie and all this Body & Soul stuff feels like too much camp for one episode.    I think perhaps a more serious story might help balance out the Body & Soul stories. 

I mean, does EJ even know Nicole left the country and Holly moved out?  Lol.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • 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.
