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...

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By ranger1rg · Posted

      It does, and I don't get it. This feels like Josh Griffith's middle finger to fans. They're end game, right? That's how most people feel. So what reason could there be to keep them apart? Are we supposed to wait until Y&R is canceled and then see them reunite in the last month? Joshua Morrow and Sharon Case have FIRE chemistry with each other -- and they strain to have any chemistry at all with anyone else. Isn't that obvious by now? I can't explain it, but we've all seen it. A decent writer could give us Shick AND good stories with them.

      To clarify, they didn't really date.  They pretended to be on a date once or twice due to a an interest in fooling someone else at the event/restaurant/whatever.  It wasn't planned by them to be real.   I think one of them became sort of interested at some point ?

      A shame the Ben/Thomasina tease didn't go anywhere.  I didn't know until last year that they brought Thomasina back a few days before Quinn was murdered. I guess it's nice that they got those last moments of happiness but then you remember they never would have brought her back if they weren't going to kill Quinn off.

      Not trying to be a contrarian, but I don't think the show needs a rival family.  Rival families have been over-done on soaps since the 1980s. And it might make the show too predictable.  I'd prefer they beef-up the have-not group with perhaps a couple of workers from the Country Club and one or two Dupree servants, joining the existing group of have-nots.  They could all know one another without being a real "family."  That would give the audience more opportunity to see Fairmont Crest life from the "backstairs."  To me this would be a far more interesting perspective than another wealthy family to rival the Duprees.

      I wonder if that's why Valerie quit. I think some of the magazines at the time implied issues with Valerie and the producer, although I may be wrong. Painting Diana as going bad would have made more sense to me near the end of her run.

      Carter & Thomasina were also stuck with a baby almost immediately and didn't get much to do after they finished high school. Carter's father was killed off and Marley drifted out of their friend group because of Jake. They left town after Carter's father died (of tomb dust!) and before Quinn died (unreasonably murdered by the Sin Stalker for dating Zack Edwards).
