Yeah, this return hasn't been terribly impressive for Rena/Lois.  There have been some standout scenes especially with her and Wally, but she hasn't really had a story.  I don't consider losing her accent a serious story lol.  

If you ever have the desire or chance I would watch some of her first run.  I think it's the most compelling Rena has ever been in a role, although I didn't hate her on Melrose. Rena was fantastic as were Lois and Ned.  Unfortunately, since Rena/Wally won't play Ned/Lois 2.0 the show seems to be a little lost on what to do with Lois this time around.

I love Lois. Also I love Tracy. Now, Lucy, it's all according. BITD Lucy with Siggy, yes, YES. Now, not so much. Also BITD Lucy & Kevin, oh my, definitely yes. But, Lucy & say Scotty, just asking for a disaster, IMO, anyway.

I do have an appreciation of Lucy every once in a while in her position at Deception especially because Maxie has her nailed. 

The very last time I noted a Lucy line was this 

Lucy: You know this is ironic. The same person who locked poor Blaze in the closet is the same person who just outed her. GH 7-2-24

OH, I should mention. I really liked Lucy with Marty, but, both disposable characters, if you know what I mean.

Hehe. Not Liz and Ric reconnecting already over ice cream and stumbling over Alexis with a gun. lol. And just how glib they were about it. Like...just another day in Port Charles. 

 

Jason and Ava continue to intrigue. And I was right there with Diane wondering WTF. But I ask again...where is Scotty? They must be setting up for something. Either that or Kin Shriner's guarantee ran out. 

 

And I was wondering why CD was looking like he had pandemic bod...which isn't a bad bod to have btw. And lol at Willow already fantasizing about Drew. And I was glad for the Drew/Curtis scene because I've been saying throughout this writing transition that we have Willow's POV and Nina's POV, but we had yet to get Drew's talk on what's going on with Willow. Nicely set up now. And juicy soap now. 

 

Ugh at Sonny and Carly. 

 

And another great cliffhanger with Holly's appearance. Ready for Lucky to get out of there though.


And you can't go wrong with the Scorpio brothers in scenes together.

ETA: It was cute at first, but NO to Brick and Jordan. Where's Portia's brother when you need him?

On the Daily Drama podcast some unknown guest canceled at the last minute so LW filled in. They should have her on a lot. She's a real firecracker in that setting. She was laughing. Said no one ever went to the bridge & now everyone does!!! Steve revealed that he learned that his character paid to have that bridge rebuilt just this past year!

 

CD is Chad Duell? What is a pandemic body?

Me, I see nothing when I look at Jason & Ava. And, Drewfus, talking to Curtis, or when he is doing his thing with Willow, more & more it's just not working for me. Drew has begun to seem like a creep to me. And, for god's sake it was Liesl Obrecht who saved Willow. If I remember correctly Drew had to be saved from something on that island. 

Double that. 

That wasn't a Friday, though, was it? 

Maybe it's just me but I see two older fellas on my soaps who are not looking well, at all. Tristan on GH & Drake on DAYS. In contrast, the ladies are looking fine, still.

IKR!!!! That bridge is getting so much traction.

 

Chad yes. When I say pandemic bod, I mean that a lot of actors put on some weight (in all the right places IMHO) during the pandemic. 

 

I would hate on Drew, but since the New/Old Writers...and even near the tail end of PM's run, Drew's POV has been MIA in the Nina/Willow. And that's the only false note in the progression of that storyline. So I don't mind seeing it. It will help me decide if I like him going forward with these writers or just a creep. So I disagree. lol.

IKNOW!!! It's amazing. 

Last year his wife had a baby. They said that she had the baby but he gained the weight!

Perfectly alright to disagree. You're even entitled to. I just think - or maybe it's a dread - Willow is gonna find out that Nina has been doing the wild thing with him & Nina did not fess up to her about it. I predict Nina is now gonna mess up this nice space she's had with her daughter.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • 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.
