Fake Rafe… Skip.

But I did enjoy the Philip/Xander and the Sarah/Stephanie scenes. This seems to be like the perfect way to build up their storyline until it reaches its climax. Let the relationships grow a little bit before they get blown to hell. 

I wonder if Philip was actually being sincere when he and Xander discussed Victor. It seemed like it but I wasn’t sure. That’s might’ve been due to JPL’s portrayal again, but he stills growing on me

The Gabi/Kerry scenes were nice too, even though they were meant to be the bad guys, but it’s clearly not going to work. They both spoke for all of us today. Honestly, if they didn’t want us to like Kerry, they shouldn’t be writing him as so charming. 

Btw, I find it a little ridiculous that on a show where big reveals are rushed and multiple episodes of drama often get squeezed into one,

All the Greenes need to go. None of it is consistent, makes sense, or is remotely interesting. I hope they don't saddle Chad with the Nu90210'er indefinitely. 

With the new writers' material coming onscreen in a few months, I hope they did a full assessment of their very large cast of contract and recurring players and did some much needed pruning.

Given that EJ is single, I wonder if they'd be a good match?

I think they are trying to keep Cat as a "good girl", but there are references to a dark past of drug use and fraud, so maybe she could gravitate toward EJ.

In terms of today's episode, Fake Rafe is making Jada look dumb.  Except for her fantastic hair, her denial of the facts is beyond belief.

For me, what's missing in the Lady Whistleblower stuff is some viable exposition.  Did Kerry plan it from the first time he met Leo?  How did he connect with Chad?  Is his motive B&S based, or due to Leo's rejection?

Well, you know who I think needs to go, more than anyone

As for the Greenes, I think that if they are planning to get rid of one of them, it should be Cat.

And, I don’t even feel like it’s AnnaLynne McCord’s fault. She was basically set up to fail with all of the changes in the storyline.

31 minutes.

I think this is the shortest episode we’ve ever gotten. 

And to make it even worse, poor Marlena was wasted on Leo, once again. I would much rather have seen her with her awful granddaughter.

Btw, today it was Gabi who spoke for all of us. I seriously can’t believe they’re using classic soap pacing for the climax of this Lady Whistleblower crap. 

As for Brady and Tate, you could tell that they were both father and son; they have such messy lives but they both want what they want regardless of the messes

I don’t Brady starting a relationship with Ava, but I’m curious to see what’s going to happen after, for the two of them. We’ve already seen all this stuff with Rachel. I hope they don’t do it again. 

Same goes for Tate who, despite having everything he has to deal with, still had time to get flowers for Holly. But I don’t mind the two of them being determined, even if it is a little selfish lol it could lead to something good happening. 

And, Tate and Doug III finally met!

I loved the look on Tate’s face when Doug III came into the room. He was already looking suspicious. I’m really looking forward to this rivalry and how it may affect all the characters that are involved. Maybe we finally get a brawl

Storylines like this are the one that deserve classic soap pacing, not anything that has to do with Leo. 

More like “Cancel Leo Stark”

On some level, that does kinda suck. I like the actor. And the character, somewhat. But the whole Clyde/Caterina/Fake Abigail thing was a huge mistake that really hurt the character and the actor.

    • 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.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
