More repetitive dialogue between Steffy and Luna.

Finn acting all smart and Mr. Know It All Detective is

.

Li being clueless. It's like she and Finn switched roles.

RJ is even more buff than before.

More screaming and screeching from Steffy.

Luna isn't even a smart criminal.

Is Luna more interesting with the rewrite? Some but her character was a flop so it wasn't hard to improve. Luna is not awesome and Lisa isn't amazing. She is campy bad. 

Sheila was never campy bad under WJB run until the very end. Sheila is evil. Luna isn't evil.

This is the same character that cried most of her run because she was raped and now they're telling us that never happened.

BTW...Sheila should be gone. Can't make her like Luna because then you have to write her out. That's why Bradley made her June Cleaver.

LOL Finn has been clueless since forever, and now he's finding "clues" and making quantum leaps to "I think Luna did something!" It is HILARIOUS!

 

Yeah, Li took dumb pills overnight. Her entire edge is gone, too.

 

Actually, I'm OK with this.

 

She's really not. Talk about a criminal who hasn't thought through her plan. LOLOL

Which is soooooo stupid. 

The Luna mess is so out of nowhere but still oddly the only thing interesting in a "this is just a mess" kind of way. The actress that plays Luna has so much potential, but they only gave her "perfect Luna" and "psycho Luna" to play...nothing in between where she could actually stick around.

I'm sure that RJ is sticking around and will probably end up in a boring triangle with Will and some boring blonde girl.

For all the bad of Tuesday's episode, JMW gave a solid performance in the cage - her voice, facial expressions, her body language/position, etc. It was far more nuanced, yet still emotional than the shrieking one-dimension Steffy that's been overkill. I hope we see more of it. 

A better approach to Li today: have her fess up to Finn that the reason why Li didn't want Lunacy in LA was that she's always been emotionally unstable due to her upbringing, etc.

Li: 'There were terrible incidents, which is why I've always hated your Aunt Poppy. She put her selfish lifestyle above her daughter.'

The bad acting the last few episodes... is... alarming. That this goes through the editing process and is in the final product amazes me. The whole production is beginning to show signs of sloppiness and I-don't-care-vibe. I truly hope the future is brighter... since this has been rock bottom for Bradley. Maybe he can pull a rabbit out of the hat again and give us another 2002-type of over the top entertainment.

He also needs to hire some new dialogue writers, because the current situation is dire.

    • 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.
