I wonder how many of those who find Finn/Poppy disgusting because of their familial connection were cheering and thinking that Thomas/Hope was a hot and sexy couple, not caring that they were step-siblings. (Not to mention any of the horrible things Thomas did to her)

Brad Bell is a disgusting piece of [!@#$%^&*]

 

Poppy is a groomer who preyed on her 18 year old VIRGIN nephew whom she was tasked to look after. She was "lonely and looking for a connection" is typical groomer [!@#$%^&*]

and Brad having Finn say he was "of age and adopted" does NOT make it okay. I'm so sick of him using Finn as a way to [!@#$%^&*] on adoption

The writing for that scene was a cringe eye-roll. Hearing Poppy romanticize having sex with teenage Finn was...something.

-- More bad writing? Luna going on about "all the lies" Poppy told her and still continues to tell. I mean, this is the Luna who killed two people.

BTW, what is $Bill's endgame with Luna? For how many years does she have to live with him?

I keep reading the dailies and I'm really confused about Li and Jack's marriage. Li talks about how much she resented Jack because she believed he slept with Poppy 20+ years ago. Was Li being passive-aggressive during those 20+ years? It sure seemed like Li was fine with Jack until the truth about Finn's real parents came to light. Are Jack and Li still legally married?

Of course, none of this makes sense because the entire storyline was made up when Poppy came to town.

While the whole story is gross, at least, it's interesting and totally fits within B&B's usual fare. Finn has been treated as if he's a Ken doll with absolutely no shades of gray or flaws. It's a huge disservice to the actor and character. Finn barely flinched when it was revealed that Steffy slept with $B when she was married to Liam. C'mon! I think this will make the Sinn a far better couple in the long run.

I do feel badly for RP because she's actually made Poppy interesting. Even though she's the same age as TN, she's going to get a lot of really hateful comments.

Side note: I can't wait for Liam's reaction when he hears the truth about Lunacy's dad. His mind may explode!

We'll see how Bradley will write himself out of THIS new mess he created. Is this what he is writing just before a new soap comes to air? Is this all he's got?

@Maxim A: Nothing.

Take out Lunacy and tell me what stories do $B, Will, Electra, Liam, Deacon, Sheila, Li, Poppy and Finn have? You could even add Katie because that Batie potential reunion vanished. They could've at least spent the last few months reconnecting Ivy/Liam - even one scene a week. Think of how rich it would be for Steffy to try to lean on Liam after the Lunacy reveal only to have Ivy blocking that!

Meanwhile, Ridge and Taylee moved in together in a hot minute. Yawn.

The FC takeover is falling flat, which take a lot of effort to do that! Having Brooke yet again show why she's the smartest *Forrester* would breathe new life into that tired FC office.

In the old days, Spectra kept the FC office happenings interesting because the Forresters would unite against a common enemy. The manufactured in-fighting between Steffy and Hope wore out fast and was illogical. Even before the Finn nonsense, why would co-CEO Steffy focus her energy *hoping* HFTF would fail? She wouldn't.

Family dinners could be awkward for Steffy going forward.... Her mother-in-law tried to kill her, and her stepdaughter kidnapped her and put her in a cage. Talk about strained conversations around that dinner table.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
