Ummm,,, Whatever do you mean?

Silently is the operative word. I wish he'd do everything silently. I'd especially tune in to watch him leave Salem forever. Silently. If Show just had to have an Arnold, why not Arnold Ziffel? Now that's a storyline I could get behind!

The scariest thing about that scenario is that then we'd have Claire dreaming about being rescued by Kyle along with Sharon's dreams of rescue by Bonzo the Butt-headed Boy.

That's very interesting, Joimiaroxeu. I didn't think of it that that way. I know that for me, the subject and how it's portrayed has managed to both annoy and bore me simultaneously. It seems so overwrought. So today Show decided to have Victoria join in on the pushing the most unromantic, least compelling re-coupling of Adam and Chelsea? It's the dreariest "romance" since Cane and anybody whatsoever. They're pushing Adam on Chelsea as if they're trying to get her to have more fiber in her diet. Oh, the romance. Also, anytime Show has both Victor AND Victoria giving relationship advice, that's time to run the other way as fast as possible. Show is so boring these days, so very very boring.

I'm ALL for that, although I'm sure it would mean he'd be back to infest The Young and the Restless. But, Salem's loss would be our gain.

Does she mean the way she replaced Tara, Harrison's biological mother?? How bad so sad. Show is making me cranky. Now Connor gets to direct the adults in his life, even to where they live? And Adam is using that nonsense to manipulate Chelsea into living with him at the Ranch? What a sludge he's become. It's getting very old for Show to keep treating OCD as if it's pediatric cancer. '

Waldo13, there's more information about this and more in the Reel to Real: Backstage subsection here you might wnat to check out.

When was Tessa born again, this time as a wide-eyed, naive naif? When Tessa came to town, she was a woman who lived by her wits, had grown up in a shady, uncertain and violent household. She blackmailed Nikki to get money to help save her sister, did some shady shit when Victoria, Nikki and Sharon tried to kill JT, pretty much showed that she was capable of pretty much anything, if needed. So it doesn't track that now, all of a sudden, she's become easy prey for an emotional grifter like Ian.

Couldn't Sharon had her delusion at least change his shirt?? If she sees Cameron with all controlled medications, is she visited by monstrous projections of Barney and the Sesame Street gang when she's on over the counter meds? I'm assuming overdosing on Mucinex brings Jabba the Hut to life. Or maybe Nick in his underwear. To be just that critical, Josh Morrow has been playing the character for 30 years and in all that time, this is still as good as he gets??? I hope they're paying him in circus peanuts.

Eric Braeden and his wife have had to evacuate from their home due to the fires. Here's hoping he and everyone else is safe and has a home to return to .

Yep. Abby was ready to retire her virginity ring so she set up a competition between Cameron and Chad and the winner to be her first time. Cameron basically said, oh HELL NO and left town. Some prizes aren't worth winning. So yes, some soaps have even worse storylines than Y&R.

I thought along the same lines when Victoria said she'd set up a play date with Johnnie and Katie for Christian. Admittedly, it's been a very long time since I was a kid, and we didn't exactly have playdates back then, but I would think Johnnie and Katie are too old to have their mom be setting up playdates. Connor, too.

That was my first thought, too. But Nikki is no way cool enough. If she's intent on the uniform look, then may I suggest a little something from the Cloris Leachman High Anxiety line? I know Victor would love it.

Sweepea59, I'll see you that moth and raise you a stinkbug. Dealer!!

Waldo13, you done ####KILLED#### me dead with that one! I bet he uses that ruler for something else in bed, too. This time, using the metric system.

Tming is everything. Too bad he has sex mixed up with the three minute egg.

Me too. I like Chanel and Johnny, but not enough to sit through the drama of the affair that wasn't. Since I'm completely skipping everything Body and Soul, I don't care about Joy, Alex is still a total miss for me, as is Stephanie and the tic-ridden JPL version of Philip. I really like Jada and I also like Rafe with Jada but double the Rafe is definitely NOT double the pleasure. I'm liking the softer version of Gabi with JJ and I love having JJ back - so far. EJ, loathesome as he may be, I always enjoy and I LOVE having Belle back. I won't mind her taking up with EJ since I think those two have chemistry, which I don't think he has with Sami, at all. Besides, Sami is in the rear view mirror unless AS decides to return permanently.

That's sad. And now we know why. I guess this time we really can blame it on the bossa nova.

The piano was by the front door after the ranch burnt down, in the "new" set before it was redone. I remember that specifically because Nikki played the piano for and with Reed when he first came back to Genoa City in 2018. It was such an odd place for a piano.

I've looked and been unable to find it, too. Hopefully someone else has a clue?

Thank you, FrankOFoley, and Happy New Year to you and all the wonderful posters here!

My mind also zipped off in that direction but came to a screeching halt when I realized that even with that scenario, this JPL version of Philip trying to cross swords with Xander would be Philip wielding a butter knife against Xander with the sword.

I'm more than a little surprised Victor doesn't make any and all women greet him by saying "Under His Eye". Even Baby.

NinjaPenguins, you've come up my new word for 2025. Schmucklings is too divinely perfect not to be included in every genealogical chart, every family description, every biographical sketch yet to be written or revised. Well done!!!! (as always)

For Nikki, it's 1985. For Victor, it's more like "Picture this, Sicily, 1485......"
