Do y'all think May is going to be when everything explodes? If so, was it worth the stalling and waiting? Plus, aren't May Sweeps not really a thing anymore?

Spoiler

Cecelia Spetch (Lia) has implied big things will happen in May with the plasma storyline. She said it was exciting for a woman to be a part of such action. Further down the line in June, Brandon Claybon seemed to indicate the Y&R crossover will be exciting as well.

I think I can safely say since we found out she’s been playing Bill all along, Hayley is definitely my favorite character on the show. Now that we get to see how much she hates Bill’s kids, I die laughing. I really enjoyed Lynette, if she’s really dead I can’t believe we got another completely offscreen death.

Carlton’s spray on beard continues to annoy me. And it’s crazy to me he wanted his best friend’s wife for admittedly decades. That’s so slimy.

Re The Dupree living room. The door on the left is the elevator. Any ideas what the mystery door on the right is? A closet? Rowena's hiding place?

Maybe the fault is in my device.
I should have said "didn't display for me", instead of "didn't display".
Anyhow thanks for posting the picture and the question!

Yeah, it's a big ick. It would be one thing if he said he always thought Nicole was beautiful or that he admired the person she is, but that's not what he is saying or how it is coming across.

Not Joey cruising on Martin and Smitty lol

That's because Anita is a narc that has main character syndrome.. the very thing that Dani has inherited from her mother. It's why Anita and Dani aren't close because they both deep down want to be center stage.

Love this. I wish that was actually something the writers had in mind.

And I remember the on call physician when Anita was hospitalized with the infection, that her regular physician Dr. Bauer was out of town. I don't know why my mind thought of Rick (Ed would be retired was my 1st thought). Probably because the by the time Mel was on the canvas, I was no longer watching GL.

We saw Dr. Bauer. A 50-something Black man. Must've been Mel's hugely SORASed son.

I love that this show is run and written by women, but show feminity toxicity in spades with almost all of their female characters.

Thank you! I agree with everything except for Joey being interesting.

To me, it sounds as though TPTB didn't think realistically about what sets were needed and what sets they could without. Was there a need for two offices for Nicole, a living room set for Nicole, a kitchen set for Dani (which could be re-used for Anita/Vernon's house), Dani's gate house, and a living room set for Bill/Hayley? Bill's office could easily be re-used for Joey's office or even Vanessa's office.

At least they gave Jacob/Naomi a living room set eventually.

To me, I would have not introduced the coffee set, and perhaps used that set for perhaps the clinic instead.

Big agree on everything. When they doled out the sets, they were high on Dupree Febreze or something. Also agree on the unnecessary coffee set.

Same. I give my all not to fast forward their scenes honestly.

I started FFing through their scenes a few weeks ago and my life's improved dramatically. Do it.

Would anyone ever say, "It's just a primetime drama?" Or "It's just a movie?" Or "it's just a Broadway play?" Frankly, I can't believe anyone would defend that sort of comment regarding soap operas.

Interesting take!

Bottom line - why give a character an occupation if you are not going to explore it in some way?

THIS. Ultimately that's the real problem and it's extremely annoying.
