Yes! I mean Finn was in FC for the Hope meeting. RJ was presumably there 'working' - it would've been totally logical for Finn and Carter to go for a steam after that 'tense' meeting with RJ popping in.

As RJ whines about Luna 'not being who he thought she was', Carter cuts him off by saying: 'I feel ya. Yeah, Brad does these random switches. Like when I dated your former sister-in-law, she was a sweet hot model. Next thing you know, *she* suddenly became a completely different person.'

I like the lack of cringe and bad-camp these past few episodes. For a moment the show had gone into cartoon network territory and was definitely not my cup of tea. I am all team Taylor/Steffy this time. I want to see Brooke hit the ground metaphorically speaking. KKL shines when Brooke is in huge trouble. The past few years have been so boring for this once incredibly hot and dynamic character. She's there, but it's like she's not there.

And what can I say about Hope, I don't want to be a Debby downer or troll Annika, but this new version of Hope is not her thing. Sorry. I am not even sure if it's her fault or just the cringe scripts, but I am not buying slutty stupid Hope at all. 

I am finding Hope in desperate need of a break from the show. Bradley needs to write her off for a while till he knows where she is headed. For months and months now... there are hints and IFs about things, desires and wants, but nothing is happening. And it's not the slow build up that we would love - it's confused mish-mash of changing her personality and trying new things every week to seem SHOCKING and new. Doesn't work with a character like Hope. She worked better when Annika first came in the show. Her first 2 years were better in terms of characterization and storylines. Hope used to be smarter than this. 2024 she seems to not have a brain, which is disappointing. Bradley just wants to have a 30 year old blond Brooke, but KKL is soon going to be approaching her 70s, so he is confused what to do. Copy/pasting Brooke's style and acting into Hope is... a flop. A desperate bleached flop.

I am also VERY tired of the same old conversation Brooke and Hope have every day about Finn. At this point, the only thing that will shock me is either Brooke or Taylor sleeps with him accidentally in some bizarre mint-mistaken identity Bradley way scenario. But even this is going to end being a bore-fest.

I called the Finn/RJ idea weeks ago, nice that people are picking up on it. Never gonna happen though, sadly. One thing to add - RJ is a huge disappointment lately. The actor is not giving his all, if he even has more. He wasn't that bad in the beginning or maybe I just thought he was new and giving him a chance. Lately I've been cringing at his facial expressions. Him and Finn are really... not even at premium porn level acting at this point. I've seen better acting on the TV in the after-dark hours of the night. Maybe that's why I thought about giving them a hot bromance storyline, LOL. I would also add that the hair department needs to do something about RJ's hair. Yes, the muscles are bulging, so are other things, but that hair needs to be fixed. 

Overalls, I am happy I am not seeing Nozawa power anymore on my screen or watching cartoonish fight scenes with no substance. 

BUT, Bradley needs to step up his game and get interested in Bold again. He is soooo bored at this point and it shows. If he is trying and that is his max - then he's really at a point he better start thinking about vacations and not writing anymore. There are plenty of desperate for a shot writers that can write  101929101 times better than him.

    • 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 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.
