I do too.

ESPN has it for the next 12 years. So it won't be coming back to CBS anytime soon.

I have to laugh at how smart they are making Finn look.

I was totally disgusted by the rape, but you know what something about this insane reveal works because the actress has playing Luna is playing a campy psychopath to the T without eating the show, not hamming it up, and despite being absurd it’s still reasonably plausible. 
 

We’ve been complaining about B&B but here in 2024 here we are getting classic Thudley. James E. Reilly and Hogan Scheffer would be proud of such a campy twist. @YRfan23

You know of the three different CBS affiliates I grew up with in the late 80’s, 90’s and into early ‘00 all three always the Jerry Lewis MDA telethon instead on Labor Day weekend so US Open coverage was pre-empted by lots of affiliates running the telethon.

At least back then the four CBS soaps Y&R, ATWT, B&B, and GL use to least have a big cliffhanger right before Labor Day…I seriously remember once each soap ended with a car crash in like 2003

Luna for me isn't believable as this serial killer. Steffy could take her if she'd stop weeping and shouting. Yes, it s very bad camp.

So Li really hates her sister because she's a slut in heat and not because Jack is the father of Luna? Ridiculous!!

The cliffhangers for the CBS soaps were golden during Labor Day break. In 1989, Paul was about to shoot James on ATWT.

Indeed!!

It may be an unpopular opinion and I can definitely understand and respect the frustration and indifference that many of my beloved fellow SON posters have with this story but in my opinion finally for the first time in forever B&B really has given us a twisted tale worth watching….

Forget “Adam” & “Eve” Liam/Quinn captivity, forget Felony Flo, forget Thomas and the doll etc. THIS actually holds my interest 

As for Steffy looking weak heck she’s stronger here in a cage  than last summer and this past spring when she was terrified at the mere sight of Sheila I don’t see an issue here other than Thudley’s wildly inconsistent writing for Steffy even though JMW is playing it perfectly whatever she is given.

It's not a bad idea (Psycho Luna), but the execution is horrendous. Comical and not in the good way. There is just no way I'm enjoying this WANNABE Orphan sequel. No way. The dialogue is making You on Netflix look like Chekhov's Cherry Orchard. One positive thing for me is that IT'S FINALLY donned on Bradley how bad the Zende rape was... AND it was a rape, no re-write can change that. It was  a HUGE mistake that he's panicked about... 

So now Luna is on her way out... soon there will be no memory of her being on the show... I think that's when he will clean the slate and put the Tridge/Bridge retro storyline in motion. He's been giddy to start it for some time now. Nobody's called Brooke a slut and a whore in a long time.

And I just watched the explanation episode and Luna is just campy AND shady. Love it!!! 

 

B&B was overdue one of their goofy 'wind up on THE SOUP' tales and this works. 

 

I love me sum JMW. I feel she's playing it just right and blends perfectly to the campiness that the actress playing Luna is bringing. And there's also something good about us the audience being in on the twist while the characters are not...yet...because it adds a whole other level to the Luna actress's acting. And she's doing that perfectly for me. 

 

Same though I will in the minority on that.

 

And grateful Zende should have been mixing it up with Thomas anyway around that time period, but let me let the mouse go.

I feel like it's time Ridge get tired of Brooke and...  Taylor... and have a male romance. In my experience... this happens to a lot of men after a certain age. They start experimenting again... and open up hidden rooms in their psyche. And it will be so hilarious having to see Brooke compete with a man for him. Degrading, yes, but Brooke's been degraded to a point of no return... It will be the camp of all camps. But this will never ever happen on a show written by... Bradley Bell.

I still want to see some hot young masseuse or assistant make Brooke's life a nightmare by seducing her and stealing all her money... slut from the valley style. Nobody believes that Brooke is still in love with Ridge, except Bradley Bell...

    • 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 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.
