I've stopped watching. I just saw some clips on instagram from today... and looked like Ridge was acting like a jerk to Carter, talking so rude and demanding sh-t... with his pitbull daughter standing next to him ready to bark at any second. Bold is just not worth it at this condition that it is in. Boring Will and Electra are the nail in the coffin for my interest to die completely. If I hear or see something that may interest me... I may tune in, but for now... I'll watch soap classics and wait for BTG.

Carter is going to risk both his law license and career to forge a legal document with Hope egging him on. Unbelievable. The two characters that have basically been B&B moral center are conspiring to steal FC. The least they could do is put Brooke in charge.

Unlike the BeLief legal saga, which was so well done, this doesn't hold water at any point.

I could totally buy into the Will/Electra/Stalker story if it was done 6 months from now. Why are they rushing this??? For a relative newbie, CM is doing just fine. Let's compare him to the two Forrester cousins...

I also disliked The Vine, the character. I forgot how much I liked AB. I always though the material didn't serve her well at all. I like the protective aunt vibe with Electra.

Sadly, there's only two available men on B&B - Liam & $B. While she's not blood related to Zende, Thomas and RJ, even B&B wouldn't go there.

I remember when weeks ago a lot of people were praising Will's acting abilities. I forgot the actor's name, I'm getting old, and the gin is not forgiving, sorry.  And I felt like the odd one out,  who was not that impressed. Yes, I still find him charming, but maybe for a hair wax commercial. Something's missing. He just stands there and stares and smiles. And the lovey dovey scenes with Electra are undescribably cringe. He doesn't have any chemistry with her. Maybe they'll push her into Bill's dirty bed too, since Bradley doesn't know what to do with any of his new characters. I just don't want to be subjected to the torture of hearing Will and Electra talk to each other. In this show people don't know what subtext is, they constantly either tell each other how beautiful or hot they are and how they love each other or they spew hate at one another like they are cartoon characters.

No play with words. No double meanings. No sarcasm. No irony. No venom. No edge. No wit. No substance.

Flat. Flat. Basic. Flat. Boring. Boring. Flat. Vanilla-safe.

I don't know why I do this to myself and continue watching. I must be a masochist. Cancel this drivel or hire a new head writer!

I watched the episodes I had missed last week, just to see if something may change my mind... about stopping watching this drivel... and No. It's unbearable. And at this point... I am pulling the plug. Not worth my time. I don't even plan on making the monthly topics anymore, since I am not interested in this show anymore. I would be glad... if anyone else could do it...

 Last time I was so disappointed and bored with the show... I didn't watch for years. And I don't think what can bring me in again. Especially now... since BTG is coming on the horizon... and I have my classic Another World... My tolerance for Bradley's drivel has... lowered. I mean... it is quite impossible to watch a Harding Lemay or Donna Swajeski episode of Another World... and then watch 2024 Bold. It's painful. Unbearable.

So yes, guys, I'm tuning out! Again... you can find me in the AW topic probably and in the Off-topic section... but I'm done with this show. I will miss the laughter and the joy we used to have roasting the show, but... I'm done. I'm not supporting Bradley Bell by keeping the attention and the clout about his show... alive. I'm tuning out! Happy watching to all who can still manage to watch it... and again... give me a signal if Brooke does something really bad or scandalous!

Meh.

 

I admit that they almost had me. I thought they would spin Taylee off to a new tale after her talk with Brooke about not needing a man. Instead...more aroma therapy. RME.

 

I do like the charming romance of Will/Electra so far. But alas, I feel that it's moving too fast with the stalker. Not that I dislike the idea of the stalker. But alas...

    • 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.
