Same.

 

Also same.

 

JASON. Especially right now...well before the New/Old Writers came back. 

 

Outside of that...I'm liking her with Ric so far though it's doomed to fail. As for Lucky...I'm curious to see them together to see how each character has grown since 2011 (?) when Lucky was on last, but I don't feel they will be good if they are still stuck emotionally back in 1999.

Complete snooze. Who thought this would be interesting?

Totally agreed. The correct emotion was being conveyed and it’s very realistic for siblings to go off on each other like this for less in real life.

Good to see we’re keeping Kristina as a complete as.shole. Everything Molly said to her today was true. I have no idea what Alexis was thinking knowing how Kristina is still acting. I’m glad Molly basically let her know she’s not even going to bother looking to Alexis for support. Hopefully we see her bonding more and more with Ric.

Really liked the bonding scenes today of Ric and TJ. 

In general they’re doing a great job getting Ric all over the canvas.

Hehe. True.

 

I call it pandemic body also because it's on actors who I don't find attractive whatsoever, but with the extra 'junk in their truck' so to speak...I admit I do a double take. Michael Mealer on Y&R also had a similar thing happen during 2020...and recently I feel due to his girl also having a baby. Don't find either guy attractive normally, but add a little bit of weight and I'm looking at them like a piece of meat. lol. Let me quit...this heatwave must be getting to me. 

 

Yeah, that's another shoe that I'm waiting to drop...Willow finding out about Nina/Drew. And for it to have full impact, I felt we needed to see all three characters' point of view. It's like the kiss felt like Willow started it more than it was just in the moment for both of them to me due to the acting and direction. So I was happy to see Willow verbalizing that aloud. Nina/Drew (up to that point) have discussed their whatever they are and slowly allowed their feelings to grow. But they had not at the same time discuss their REAL feelings...only their feelings were growing. I would say Nina has verbalized it more than Drew before the writing regime change. So Drew for me was the only hold-out. Was he really being an old school ABC cad, feeling flattered, or just confused? I feel under the new/old regime, we got what Drew was thinking with his talk with Curtis. And I respect they filled in the hole that was missing in that triangle to make it work. 

 

It now feels even more juicier and even more messy than it already does. And outside of the nuances that PM put into this story being pretty much gone, the triangle is still feeling soapy. And I cannot wait for it to explode even though it is no longer one of my favorite parts of the show...which it was under PM.

Yeah, I feel that long term.

 

Right now, part of the fun and potential is the fact that it is pushing Molly closer to him. And it humanizes Ric (even more than his Liz redo) because he is really feeling like the only one who has Molly's back. And now TJ is growing closer to him, too? 

 

Drama!!!

For sure!!! Which is why it should been a one (or two) scenes with Lois and be done. Having Tracy move on Olivia is just a way to keep this slapsticky tone that this writing regime like to do for no reason than silliness and I'm not here for that.

Damn.  Do people not have siblings?  I kid, I kid.

  LOL   I do wish we would get MORE screaming scenes with dynamics like this.  Screaming matches between siblings - relatable.  Screaming matches between parent/child - relatable.   To me, it just adds more realism to situations.

I am praying that this character is not tied to OLTL. It's time for Frank to let OLTL go. It's dead. Move on. No more characters from other ABC soaps. They already flopped with making Ava Delia's daughter. They flopped trying to assimilate OLTL characters on the canvas. They flopped when they mentioned the Loving murders and had them hiding out in the Alden manor once upon a time. Just stop. 

And Tommy would've been the most logical choice as it would've further tied Liz to Lucky's story as her cousin is involved. I mean it was right there for the taking. I don't get how the writers, production, or even the network didn't see it.

    • 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.
