Lately I've been missing the edge he used to bring... and that venom that he could bring out of certain female leads. Everything is flat nowadays... And nobody knows how to write female dialogue. It's so unrealistic. I don't want to name names... but it's bad, bad, bad. Bradley needs to do something, or soon we'll see KKL and TK writing dialogue for the show. (which may be better than what we are getting right now BTW!)

I could swear... KKL was almost drifting into sleep in her boring scenes with Taylee. Her facial expressions were saying - God... this show is so boring, I miss my vacations in Italy! LOL.  And they are making her so vanilla, so predictable. OG Brooke would have f-cked Finn by now, just to spite Taylee and Steffy. Why is Brooke such a coward these days? All she does is cry to Ridge and ask Hope - How are you doing, sweetie. I mean... it's a record for Bradley Bell to write a character that has 200 episodes a year, but only has 2 types of scenes. 

LOL.

Elektra is soooooo boring simply because it's just another flatly written "Forrester" character. There's nothing new here. God forbid the show bring in a Latina character who has to claw her way up Beverly Hills society a la Brooke-ish from the 1980s. The show feels sooo claustrophobic now.

Elektra and Will are your typical boring, vanilla characters. Elektra has been on air only a couple of times, and she's already getting a major story? Bradley hasn't read Douglas Marland's rules of what not to do on a soap.

 

I'm calling it! Luna and Elektra's stalker are going to hook up to cause havoc.

I’m confused about Electra’s heritage…I thought she was Jessica’s daughter but then Ivy mentioned she is her brother’s daughter…? WTF. 
 

This show deserves a grade of Z- for November sweeps. 

Nick Newman Jr is also underwhelming……The stalker story already? He’ll probably turn out to be some lost kid of Sheila’s or the lost kid named Jack.

Will is the most boring character ever. Like... He makes me fall asleep. I'm just not into it at all. Electra adds another layer of basic unnecessary we've seen it a million times already we are bored make it go away... Vibe. The show is unwatchable and I'm kinda out. I prefer spending my time watching quality shows like Another World and Edge of night. 

Maybe if Brooke sleeps with Finn... Or Bradley Bell fires himself...  Then call me.

Maxim, I feel your pain. My situation consisted of "ludes". And I don't expect you to reply.

I was just expressing my opinion about a fictional story that was possibly rewritten to show manipulation. And yes, Luna cried alone, but that could also be re-written as guilt for cheating and possibly ruining Zende's character. Not saying that excuses anything, but as we all know, in the soap opera world even the dead are risen without any side effects.

    • 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.
