At this speed of character assassination aka making Hope a senseless wannabe-raging whore... how long till she and Pseudo-King Ridge are caught in a compromising position? It's meant to happen. Bradley's sick modus operandi always repeats itself.

Watching Liam and Hope is making me have PTSD symptoms - my eyebrow twitches.  They are sooo unnervingly irritating and so vanilla-basic-cringe. Their problems are so fake and their  conversations make me want to drink alcohol.

Liam needs to be killed off. He is dead weight in the show and every time he is around, the show is losing precious seconds they can invest in some different characters/storylines. No offense to Scott Clifton, but Liam's got to go.

Taylor's chakra cleanse will for sure involve penetration at some point. Ridge knows it. Taylor knows it. We know it. Even Brooke knows it. 

So - Brooke better pack. Her time with the designer's done. Bradley's decided this new Taylor deserves 2 pictures in the intro, her chakras cleansed AND Ridge as a consolation price. So, Brooke, babe, pack the 50 dollar bra and panties and go somewhere else. Find some mistake (Cough... Finn... cough... Thomas...) and have fun girl. It's a blessing in disguise.  Move on! 

 

Ugh!

All of that is true. Poor Brooke.

But still, the STANDOUT MOMENT of the episode -- even more than the chakra bull -- was hearing about Donna at her "weekly chess meeting."

I mean, that is coffee-spitting stuff!

It’s wild to sit down and think how much insanity has occurred here in 2024.

When the year began we were still talking about Eric’s Christmas miracle and his stapler.

Then it was all about how bad Thomas was for Hope.

Then Luna got a hold of Poppy’s mints and that dragged on.

Then out of the blue Sheila attacked Steffy and died. Luckily for us Deacon saw the body had ten toes and Googled “Who is Sugar?”

We also had Deacon marry Sheila, Thomas randomly run off with Paris to Paris (I wonder what her sister Zoe had to say…) and the whole Bill has a family with Poppy and Luna.

We nearly got HINN

Then we had the Il Giradino murders and Luna turning into a psychopath.

Now we have this mess with Taylor taking center stage while Hope and Carter are about to get it on.

YUP. This is the worst year of the entire show in my opinion and I've watched pretty much everything with little exceptions... maybe just 1994 (I hate this year with passion, since it was the Bradley-Bell-turning-Bold-into-circus-season) can rival it... but 1994 still had some amazing stuff in comparison and of course some of the Bill Bell energy still lingering on. 2024 is the first year I'm not even adding to my Bold collection. I don't know if I will care to add these episodes. Not that 2023 was a lot better, but it had a lot less insanity. 

2024 has been insane non stop. None of it builds up, none of it makes sense, none of it matters in the long term. Crash after crash after crash. With every new storyline I say to myself - can it get worse than that? And then we get mints and a rape.... And then I tell myself again - ok, no, this is rock bottom, and Bradley tops his insanity with Sheila in the dungeon, burning the missing-toe-corpse... and on and on and till the Broken heart syndrome... Taylor's blocked chakra and Ridge's curative penis. 

What is next? Sex demon invading Hope's body? Luna being revealed to be a Tesla AI robot? Sheila getting pregnant by Thomas? Brooke finding an anti-ageing potion that makes her 35 again? Taylor's chakra opening to reveal Hunter Tylo's face?  

I really hope that after hitting rock bottom, they can rebuild something in 2025.

But I am also scared... of what's to come.

    • 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.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
