You're in luck. I think last week we had NO BODY & SOUL for at least 3 of the days. Believe me, it was a welcome respite. 

 

Understood. 

Recently I went over Geary's exit interview but an odd thing was that the same day I went over one of Jerry verDorn's last statements & the juxtpasition of the two interviews was, shall we say, jarring?!!! Jerry is such a class act & Tony came off really pissy and petty.

Honestly, it's hard for me to pinpoint any female character Ron likes lol.

Marlena?  Lol

All these women get saddled with the worst stories.   Not that the males get vastly better material or anything.  It's just very clear who Ron's favorite male actors are.

Have they explained to us why they need to reboot Body & Soul from scratch, rather than just continue to produce it with the actors and writers who were hired before?  And is it like DAYS, where there is a backlog of months of episodes that fans are currently watching while Abe & Kate take months to film new ones?

I mean, aren't fans going to miss Jessie Whitherspoon as Charlemagne De la Croix? (p.s. I had to look up Deidre Hall's character's name on the DAYS wiki).

Also, WTF, they're filming the soap at the Pub? What in tha let's-not-build-a-new-set BS is that?

I'm certain Stephanie's amazing PR powers will assuage the fans.  I mean, look at how she saved The Spectator.

BTW has this been how The Gates was developed?  You get two producers team, some doppelgänger actors, then a director, then a writer, then a set, and you're ready to film?  They make it seem easy.

    • 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.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
