Phyllis might want to have her dotter checked for brain worms. It would explain so much. My problem with Mamie is that this is not who she ever was. If you're going to bring a character back after 20+ years, the character should at the very least somewhat resemble who they were when they left. Cole, for example, is the same guy he was when he and Victoria were married. Mamie was wise and kind and sensible, more of a mother figure to Dru, Olivia, Jack, Ashley, and Tracy than their own mothers. This version of Mamie is unrecognizable. I suppose Jill buying her off to get her away from John may have made her bitter, regretting the life she could have had if she had seen where a relationship with John would have taken her, but she didn't have to take Jill's money. I thought when she first came back that she had some terminal illness and was desperate to secure some kind of legacy for her family, but they kind of already have that on their own.

Yeah, I'm convinced Sheila had the key to those chains in her pocket the whole time, and that credit card purchase from the convenience store was a couple week's worth of snack foods and water. There's a reason she didn't want to go to the hospital. But I'm still looking forward to Steffy's meltdown!☢️ Does it look like SC has lost weight? He looked really thin today, and his face looks a little gaunt. Hope he's ok...

Sadly sharing the fear of Ivy turning psycho. They did the same to sweet Aly just to prop Steffy, and it happened out of the blue. One day, she's going to the Renaissance Fair with Oliver, the next day she's seeing Darla's Floating Head telling her to kill Steffy.

My only other soapy DID experience was Carrie Todd on GL ages ago. I remember it being pretty well done (Doug Marland was writing at the time, but the story ended abruptly when he left). Carrie had distinct personalities, and I don't think they knew what the others were doing. Real Ashley is totally in the dark, but the other Ashleys seem to know everything about Real Ashley's life. So why didn't Flirty Ashley know the details of how she and Alan met? The most interesting part of Nikki's drunk dreaming was how it revealed that she subconsciously knows how cruel and abusive Victor is. So it sucks to be Jack, who is the main reason she won $500 million! (And an honorable *sucks to be* mention to Victor's hot brother Matt, but I don't think Abby ever met him.)

There would be a bit of an age difference. Ivy actually could call Deacon "Daddy". Although the gap between Eric and Donna is probably bigger. Deacon should have been looking down when he prayed for help. But Beelzebub heard his prayer all the same. Seconding the opinion that a redeemed Sheila is pointless, unless she gets snapped back to her true self by Steffy or Lauren (who really should be the one to put her down once and for all). Sheila obviously has no memory issues, since she knew Sugar was heading off to kill Steffy. Why in the world would a knockout like Ivy want to get bogged down by a guy with as much baggage as Liam, father of two children with two different women? And Liam pretty much telegraphed to her that he would be with Steffy if Finn weren't standing in the way.

So...they killed off a character we never saw or even knew existed. I can't imagine why I was confused!

I daydream a lot, so I think I missed Claire explain who the dead woman was?

Nothing has changed, Steffy did get another one. Just not the one she thought she got! Liam can't be single for five minutes, can he? How long has it been in Show time since Sugar was killed? Could anyone besides that cockroach Sheila survive that long without water?

It would be nice if we could get some throwaway line about where Paris is. Didn't she and Zende get back together after Carter left her? And they broke up again when exactly? Taylor, too! Do we know where she is?

WTF did I just watch? Where was Scarlett O'Abbott when Teen Ash and Sleeping Ash were chained to beds? Thank gods Summer's son was found! Summer's son can shine again! But come on, really? It was that easy to outfox Jordan? Unless her real leverage is that Claire is still missing. Malcolm could fill that role. The original is out of the question, but I wouldn't be opposed to a recast. Or a recast Olivia, for that matter.

This has to be the dullest kidnapping story ever. It might have been mildly interesting if they had left Claire's involvement ambiguous. But Victor never loses, so the outcome is pretty obvious. I agree that Nate hasn't earned his way back onto the board yet, but neither has Billy. I'm still so confused by the power structure at CW. Jill and Devon are the owners. Lily is an employee. But she has the last word on everything?

During his online research today, Deacon saw a report that Sugar was released early a few months ago.

Phyllis is supposedly doing community service for killing Whats-his-nuts (not sure about any conspiracy charges), but it's happening off-screen like everything else of interest. Or maybe she thinks paying her debt to society involves paying her tab at Society.

Zende needed a raincoat. RJ's spit was flying everywhere. Yeah, why isn't anyone asking if they were using protection? Luna slept with RJ and Zende within a day or two, so is yet another WTD on the horizon?

It's been a minute and my memory is fuzzy here, but I think Lauren knows Sheila-faced Sugar. Ridge and Brooke know Sugar with her birth-face.

Sheila's picture is no longer in the opening credits, but I guess that could be a red herring

GLORIOUS ENDURING LOVE! Seriously, Lauren? WTF? Aren't you in Los Angeles right now dancing on Sheila's grave? Ooofah, the whole party was...a lot. Devon said that everyone in that room felt the power of Nikki's and Victor's love. Diane may beg to differ. Abby seems blissfully unaware of her mother's plight. Nobody ever tells her anything. Weren't the Abbott's supposed to get Ashley to a hospital that morning? She's been asleep now for 24 hours. I think that's called a coma. New Harrison is more catatonic than the first one. How nice of Victor to invite his old pal Toulouse-Lautrec. Not sure why he was waiting outside, though. I guess the post-impressionist always rings twice.

I'd love to see the CW organizational chart. It probably has a lot of squiggly lines and astrological symbols on it, and there might be a different one for each day of the week. Lily is so full of crap. Billy may not have been sleeping with Chelsea, but he had been having an emotional affair with her long before Lily found out about it. But Noah didn't back over ButtBiscuit's noggin. It was actually the Dirty Tan Sofa that entered the coma, and then he morphed into ButtBiscuit during a ghost tour of GC and exited the coma in all his dork glory.

⬆️Lauren was visiting LA a Halloween or two ago and did know Sheila was back in town. It may have been when everyone thought Sheila had been eaten by the bear. Add me to the list of those who thought it was odd ( and gross) to have the casket at the restaurant. That has to be a health code violation.

Whatever Ashley has must be contagious. Now Tucker has a few personalities, too.

So glad I took a break from building my ark to watch Show today, since Mariah and Tessa sightings are so rare lately. It's so weird to me that Phyllis would be such a Heather fan. I'm pretty sure Heather was the only prosecutor in GC who successfully put Phyllis behind bars. Maybe the fifth person is Reed, although Victoria never mentions him anymore.

A memorial service is more for the survivors than it is for the deceased. Sheila will not be attending, so I don't really get why everyone is so aghast that Deacon had the audacity to invite them. Brooke and Hope should go to support him.

I swear on my brand new $59.99 bible that nobody could be gullible enough to be fooled by Jordan's disguise. 🧔 Maybe whatever is happening with Ashley is the result of the experimental treatment she had for her aneurysm. The car accident might have jostled something up there. Paging Dr. Neville!

Oh my gods, can the AA meetings happen off-screen like everything else does? We saw what happened, so what's the point of Nikki giving the Cliffs Notes version of her whack life to the attendees? When the camera panned across the back of the group's heads while Nikki told her tale of woe, I thought they might show the face of the redheaded woman to be Jordan's in disguise. That could have been good, so of course not. Is that really a thing for people who have gotten married to each other 10 or 12 times to celebrate the anniversary of the first wedding? Do they also celebrate the anniversary of each subsequent wedding?

Lilacs are definitely viable in Yinzerville! Mine isn't doing so well, but that's likely my fault. I see them everywhere around here, though.
