Rant:
I just can't make myself watch a show featuring three rapists. 

EJ forced Sami to have sex in exchange for agreeing to save Lucas' life (with the understanding that if she said no, then Lucas would remain in a harmful situation and/or left to die).  So that's rape by coercion. 

When Sami was in relationship with Rafe (or married to Rafe), EJ put Arnold in EJ's bed for a while as Rafe's lookalike.  That's Arnold committing rape by impersonation, *and* EJ committing rape by arranging the crime.

I heard that EJ had a throwaway line of dialogue a while back that he understands consent better now.  Really?  That doesn't fix things.  That's not a way to write a character.  That's just a plot device to put whatever character in whatever storyline.

Kristen has raped multiple people.

I just don't want to watch any of these people. 

/end rant


I don't care if Martha and Dan have chemistry as Belle and EJ.  It's gross because EJ raped Belle's sister!

EDIT to add:  rapist Ava is on the show too.

It is remarkable how Marlena has avoided discussing Belle, Eric, and Sami's love lives.  That was always John or Roman's domain.  I mean, she counsels half of Salem on their intimate relationships, but she barely says a peep about her own kids. 

I guess it is like the proverbial cobbler's son who has no shoes.

So, Ron was fired right in the middle of the reveal? 

Interesting. 

4 rapists: Leo.

Maybe that all played a part in Ron’s firing too. 

Maybe it’s because fans like Belle, Eric and Sami

Just watched Thursday's episode and I did a lot of fast-forwarding.

 

Javi finally told Jada that "Rafe" cheated on her.

 

Brady and Steve found Ava tied up.

 

Kristen received a package which contained a memory-erasing vial.

Unless the vial was for something else and meant for fake Rafe.

Today started off with a new establishing shot… followed by a shot that made me want to vomit

Btw, idk about all these stereotypes about gays and sports.

I appreciate that Javi seems to have his own character though. He deserves to be more than just Leo’s little boy. But I do think Al needs a haircut because that big bush on his head kinda distracts from those beautiful eyes

EJ and Belle was the best part of today. I’m really enjoying the dynamic between the two of them and I’m looking forward to seeing this all play out. It could go in so many different directions. And with the new writers coming in, a fresh take on all of this might make it even better. 

And I hope Brady and Kristen lose their little demon spawn to CPS. That could actually be a good storyline. Plus, Kristen is a terrible mother. She deserves to lose her kid. 

As for Aremid, now that it seems to be ending, I hope it ends fast. And ends with some people getting their asses beat or killed off.

That was fast

My preview or that I watched it already?

I just fast-forward every scene he's in, including those with Javi.

I know this is a dumb question but I can't ever really make out what nickname Javi is calling Rafe.  It sounds like Rafa? or is he saying Rafi?  Closed captioning just says "Rafe".  Is that just a specific pronunciation?

I liked the establishing shot, but it was then remarkable that nobody seemed to acknowledge the snow in terms of how they dressed, or how they traveled from place to place.  And, of course, there was no trace of snow in Horton Square.

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.

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