One of the worst and weirdest things Thudley ever was back in 2018 was having Brooke encourage/force Hope to go after a very married Liam despite his own marital issues saying “It’s okay to go after a married man don’t feel any shame” blah blah blah. 
 

Feels so hysterical and hypocritical now

The "Heather Tom" episode was actually really well done. I still despise Steffy & Taylor but it was a cute Mother/Daughter bonding moment. 

I really wanted Hope to slap Brooke and I was kind of disappointed they hugged it out, but it was definitely a very watchable episode.

Annika is quickly becoming one of my favourite actresses in daytime.  She was phenomenal in Thursday's episode. KKL was also great, but this was definitely Annika's Emmy episode. I agree that Hope was spitting so much truth about Brooke and her relationship with Ridge.  Brooke was right about Hope having to take responsibility for her actions, but Brooke still looked pathetic because she still wants Ridge.  I hate that Brooke has no backbone (except for that one scene where Brooke told Ridge that Taylor was his second choice....but that amounted to nothing).  I was disappointed at the end though because it looks like Brooke/Hope will have made up?  I wanted tension between the two for a long time, with Hope moving out, and maybe starting her own business.   B&B has these powerhouse actresses in Annika, KKL, and Heather Tom, but their characters are written so terribly.

True, but I was thinking about how Bridget got the Forrester name. Not certain of timing, but I always thought Brooke was single because she was divorced from Eric and Ridge was married to Taylor. I don't ever recall 'Bridget Logan' only 'Bridget Forrester.' 

If my memory is correct, kudos to Heather Tom for having Hope call out Brooke's shame.

ITA. If written properly, that episode could have taken the show in an entirely new direction. The fallout of Brooke losing her daughter for once again picking Ridge and having to finally deal with the consequences would have been great, and maybe, just maybe bring Brooke back from someone who lets a man constantly dump on her.

When we keep hearing how great Hope for the Future was doing, I keep thinking this is why Hope should start her own rival fashion house.

Yes... The three girls showed us their power for sure. I still cringe when people say that KKL can't act. She can be fire when given the right material. And I am in agreement that this may get Annika an Emmy nomination at the least.

Ah thank you!

The photos are really spectacular. If only Bradley Bell realizes what he has and gives her adequate material.

Hey so I saw a clip from the Heather Tom episode and excuse me, Ridge left Brooke for Taylor? They broke up again? And she’s still on this destiny kick? This show is demented. 40 years of this. I thought they’d finally gotten Brooke and Ridge to a degree of normality. Brooke looks absolutely bonkers at her big age of 60+ saying to her adult daughter “no one understands what Ridge and me have.” Yeah, we do, some sort of codependent psychosis! Couple of weirdos!

And back to the life model decoy playing Taylor now formerly known as Rebecca Budig!

You gotta wonder who is Brad writing this show for. He certainly can’t enjoy this.

I’ve been saying for more than a year - when Sally is down on her luck in GC - she needs to have another turn at B&B and have her float between shows.  It’s time to revive Spectra only do it better than the last try.  Could we maybe get a phone call from Sally Sr. Herself?  I know DC is gone but they’ve done it before.

    • 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.
