Her schtick is beyond tired.   She's smug and gets Sonny out of trouble even though she knows he's guilty because she's such an awesome lawyer.  Then Diane will bemoan and complain about the fact she had to do the job she's paid to do because Sonny/Jason are the worst.  Like, lady, just quit then and leave town.  

Yup.  Take you Talbots suits and move on.

No, now you're not paying attention. She ALWAYS says that Jason is her best client. Not anything at all about Jason being any kind of worst. Sonny, okay, you are right there. 

What is this? Are we being snobs about wardrobe now? If so, can I have a word about Mayor Collins & her wearing those big boxy always black blazers. We know from Dr. Marlena Evans that there are literally 100s of style & colors of blazers. Also it is apparently very possible to get a blazer that actually FITS. I realize you want to talk about Diane, sorry, I do not.

She's complained about defending Sonny/Jason for years!  While she was dating Max? the mob flunky at the same time!  Every now and again she pretends to like defending those two, but she mostly acts exasperated at having to do her job.

Diane's suits are ugly af.  So are most of Marlena's, but at least Marlena is a good character.

At least you get me.

She should not have been sidelined to begin with. And again, when Alexis went to jail she “joked” online that Frank was punishing her. It was around the time Ingo was still there and there were some backstage issues.

They should have used her at the paper much stronger, but again, she was mostly sidelined.

Diane should have been caught in crossfire years ago.

Marlena would never have to brag about hot sex.  We know what she and John are doing lol. 

Ugh, gosh that's an ugly outfit Diane is wearing.  And I can get past it all if I didn't hate the character so much.  She was fun for the first 2 or 3 years calling Sonny/Jason out, but it is the same thing GH did with Spinelli.  Just keeping a C character for years and giving them story because people liked that side character. 

Although I actually like Spinelli now.

She's demure and mindful about her sexual escapades with her husband. I love that for them. Shows that an older, more mature couple can still have a vital, sustainable sex life.

It's ill-fitting, looks two-sizes too small and shrunk while being poorly dry-cleaned.

Re-pairing Spinelli with Maxie helped both characters out (for me).

    • 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.
