Are you forgetting all those neighborhood barbecues hosted by Vic's next door neighbors, Lucretia and the rest of the Borgias? Not to mention the many parties she and the kids went to around the corner at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. I'm sure they're going to really miss Grampa, Herman, Lily, Eddie and Marilyn. The only neighbors I ever remember Vic having trouble with were the Collins family. Barnabas was always stopping by trying to give them a copy of the Watchtower.

I think of Grampire and Nikki's "40th" Anniversary as in the same universe as the upcoming Locust rebirth and devastation. Both are fuzzy with numbers, and both have all the taste and discretion of an expired Bed, Bath and Beyond Anniversary coupon discount. Also, tell me that locust on the far left doesn't look EXACTLY like Victor!

Oh dear........If Show goes that route, having Victor become Connor's savior and role model, does that mean Victor will be having Connor fitted for his very own Black Tee-shirt of Virility? Can a pint-sized punching bag be far behind? Just think! Connor can have his very own origin story about the time his parents dumped him at the Green Acres Home for Lil' OCDer's and tell it in tandem with Victor's tale of That Time My Parents Tossed Me Out of a Conestoga Wagon in Front of the Orphan's Home for Lil' Tykes with Unexplained Accents. I hope hope hope they set it all to music. Yougothatright and Haveanicedaynow.

Well said. My empathy is saved for the actors. These two had to try and make drama out of being kept captive inside what amounts to a giant, empty beer can, which alone starts the giggles. As the storyline goes forward, they begin to become oxygen deprived and try to somehow make that into an emotional scene of last love. I'm surprised that we didn't hear some ghostly, otherworldly voice declaim, "Come to the Bud Light, come to the Bud Light.........). But I guess Show didn't want to doubledip the death details too much since that was sorta going on over at Paulina's death bed, too. All it made me want to do was to have a cold, frosty Blatz.

Oh no, we've been found out. Yup. Dat's us. We're revolting. But you gotta admit, we're cute!

He sure does. In NuTate's case, the term "high school senior" can mean wayyyyyyyy more than a graduation date. This guy is going to be receiving his AARP card along with his diploma.

So Connor has OCD and that means the Apocalypse, the Rapture, Black Friday AND Senior Ross Dress for Less Discount Tuesday are ALL rapidly approaching?? All Ye Who Watch Thy Show, Abandon all Hope, apparently. Or, at least according to overly dramatic Adam and please-take-that-delayed-flying-leap, Chelsea. Off to the roof with you, Chelsea, caw caw, and Sally, please roofie Adam for OUR own good. I don't understand all the hand-wringing by Adam and Chelsea. This isn't the end of Connor's world. Hell, his father has survived having self-pity with a stronger gravitational force than a black hole. His mother's aardvark boyfriend, ButtBiscuit, has survived with a self-centered sense of entitlement so strong even Irish Spring dipped in radioative isotopes can't mask the smell and his uncle Nick has been striding around Genoa City with a barnacle encrusted backside since shortly after his Grampire Victor dismantled his rats-for-food habitat in the basement at the ranch. Kids gonna be fine. Nobody in town, absolutely nobody, would have convicted Lily if she'd stuffed ButtBiscuit's twin blowholes full of nerf balls, wound him up and set him on repeat after that self-serving rant about him and Lily taking over the company. I've said it before and I'll say it again; ButtBiscuit's only positive use could be as a traffic bumper in the company garage. Small vehicles only, though, or they'll lose a tire in those nose holes. Poor Lily. She gets through that nonsense with Der ButtBiscuit and then ends up having to have lunch with Nick. Her whole day was nothing but one long "Pull My Finger" joke from beginning to end. It could only get worse if she gets home and finds a cow's head in her bed because then she'll know Cane has returned.

Pardon, but who is/was Christian/Evan?

So you're saying he REALLY REALLY REALLY resembles Brady?

What was the point of those scenes, anyway? They did absolutely nothing to move any storyline along so all I can think is that it was yet one more contract mandated tongue bath for JH. I'm waiting for Paulina's picture to be hung over the Horton fireplace when Julie is done decorating.

Snaporaz, I forgot it was Dirty Tan Sofa who went under the wheel! I do remember JT's grisly ghastly ghostly tour of GC. You and I both knew that no good was going to come of it. But, there's a first time for everything and if JT would re-enact his predecessor's finest hour, it could be his Emmy reel.

After today's show, I'm with Nikki. Gimme a swig of that rotgut to wash out the taste of the B.S. shoveled our way today. The width and breadth of ButtBiscuit's arrogance is stunning. You can always tell he's angling to top off his bad behavior with something even worse when he speaks in that lowing cow tone, furrowing his brow while we can see him chewing his cud as if his apple doll cheeks are filled with sour cheese curds. The man is sex on a stick, isn't he? I don't think ButtBiscuit should be fired as much as I think Devon should park on his head the way Noah did that memorable night when ButtBiscuit got beaten up and went into a coma. That was, without a doubt, Jason Thompson's best performance as Billy Abbott. Encore, please! I generally love Jack, but I wish today that Traci found a new way to welcome him home, maybe by giving him a swift kick in a place he'd notice. What a sloppy bonehead he was today, dismissing Traci so he could play handmaid to Nikki and her constant need. Her behavior to Diane, and in her own home, was atrocious and it didn't bother Jack one little bit. It's a sad day when the best male Abbott is Lil' Hausenpheffer and he's not even onscreen. Oh dear oh dear, whatever will CW do without Daniel to run the gaming platform?? Whattodo, What.To.Do........ perhaps hire any middle schooler on up?? They'll have the technical skills and have better ideas than Big D Daniel on his best day. But Show will probably decide to put Chelsea in charge because....reasons..... I have to compliment Josh Griffith, though. It takes a one of a kind non-talent to create a shitstorm like today's show. He's like ButtBiscuit in human form. The only thing that could have made it worse would have been Aunt Mamie, and we know she's not far behind.

It's Mariah for the win. It's especially easy because if by some chance she cannot serve, the next runner up, Lily, will fill in admirably. Besides, Lily is going to have her hands full singlehandedly finds places to stash ButtBiscuit, Daniel and Devon's bodies if they don't STFU and stop making her look like a chump for putting up with them.

Gosh, Auntie Jordan's disguise was so good nobody but nobody would have known it was her! An escapee from a Cosmetology Clinic for the Criminally Insane or an attendee at a Sherlock Holmes convention who got out of his manacles, sure, or maybe Simon Legree on his day off, sure. Nobody would give a man dressed up like a Jack the Ripper lookalike a second glance sitting at a bar in Genoa City, not anyone. I guess she'll start choosing her disguises from horrifically bad movies from the 1970's next. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the Killing Fields, next on The Young and the Restless. Lookin' good, Auntie Jordan!

Mariah and Lily. Lily has survived a long term relationship with both a cow tipper AND an at-large ButtBiscuit so she's an expert at dodging his unleased boogers which are even worse than nerf balls and fly at a higher velocity. Just of late, she's been dumped by an errant scrap of Phyllis DNA and seems to be surviving that indignity as well. They both got it.

And his tight suit pants. He lives for them. Or is that just me?

All I got from today's show was one more iteration of Chad's "I miss Abby" lament. Change the record, Chad, we've heard that tune. Besides, Chad's "missing Abigail" is about as convincing to me as if Chad was "missing herpes". At least there's a vaccine for that.

I bet it's for Aunt Jordan! She needs a place to park her broomstick.

Oh yeah, Princess Louisa, the life changing game that remains just undefined enough so that none of us can understand exactly how the actual fluck a video game is supposed to be changing/saving lives while sorting our garbage into recyclables and non-recyclables. Isn't this the same stupid game that brought Chelz and her amazing insights into the gaming world, too? Also, isn't this the same game that wouldn't exist without LILY pushing Daniel to do, convincing CW to hire him to do and boosting his flat ass every single step of the way?? If that ridiculous game is Daniel's baby then Lily is the midwife who delivered it. I'm resisting Show's attempt to make Heather the Svengali who leads Daniel to fight Lily after he's the one who lied and went behind her back so disgracefully because Show always makes women the bad guys. But Heather's showing herself to be every bit Daniel's equal in being a viper, first class. I forgot, they're doing this all for Lucy. Best thing they could do for Lucy is put her back up for adoption. Isn't it counter-productive for ButtBiscuit to encourage a fired employee to go after the company he works for? Wouldn't that be bad for the business? Wouldn't Jill frown on that? Every time ButtBiscuit opens that Hell Mouth of his, more vampire bat thoughts fly out. I hope him stirring Phyllis up comes back to bite him in his proboscis. Also, it seems pretty ButtBiscuitian of him to encourage Heather and Daniel to go after Lily, who treated him really well and let him dump her without any repercussions. He's such an ass. Wasn't the fakest backdrop ever? Almost as fake as Victoria trying to show human emotion.

Gotta got with Abby. Not that she actually EATS any groceries, but she does buy them for those feckless mortals who dine at her restaurant who, unlike her, need actual sustenance and can't survive on Oxygen refreshers. Nina. The woman who raised Chance definitely knows her groceries because that boy isn't filling out his clothes so nicely without some expert help in the food department. Lily. We just saw her with a bag of groceries she was going to feed Daniel. Now that she's learned he survives on scum sucking and bottom feeding, she can go back to those delicious Oxygen refreshers like her good friend, Abby. Diane. I'm sure she knows her groceries, just as I'm sure she knows what poison pairs best with each meal plan.

Thanks for posting this. I loved Barbara Rush in all her films and remember how thrilled I was when she appeared on All My Children. She had such presence.

Genetics. Brady truly IS his father.

I felt so bad for those other people at the AA meeting, who themselves might have had some urgents things to talks about. But in walks Mz. Thing and the meeting is preempted for another report from Skull Island's Head Hostess. I bet everybody at that meeting hates her like poison. What's with Dickolas telling Adam that "you have to tell Dad yourself" about taking Connor to the new facility? Nick and Vic and now Adam, along with Nikki, always put their Pustule Pater before everyone, and now that includes a young grandchild in crisis. Victor is such a malignant narcissist that it's more important for him to be told, asked, informed, whatever than it is for any of his children to deign to delegate that task to anyone else, no matter how busy or stressed they might be. In other words, Victor must come first, always, no matter what, no matter who. The psychological damage Victor has inflicted should be a class A felony but instead it's held up as some noble Newman family trait. Abby, on the other hand, is barely on their Christmas card list. She's the luckiest Newman of all.

Abby! I wish they were tossing ButtBiscuit, though.

I haven't seen a good teen storyline on any soap since Erica, Phil and Chuck on AMC in the early 70's, and I liked them better as they aged out of it. JMO, but but I could live quite well without ever seeing poorly written and acted teen angst EVER again. It's tough enough to deal with in real life. Not that there's anything wrong with it.....
