  1. Maybe I'm giving him too much credit, but I have to believe that JG put in all of those Phyllis<>dumpster references just for us.  If so, I apologize for 5% of the things I've said about you, Josh!

    Stupor Girl and The Roast Beast in one room maxed out my asshole tolerance quotient for the week.  Daniel must have been switched at birth.

    Thanks, Boesy I just thought I'd watch Show yesterday. I am lost except that Drinki's hair looked like crap.

    Now that you've put your toe in the water, you need to dive back in, @peacheslatour!  You have been missed.  I was just thinking of you recently when the SyFy channel had a Bates Motel marathon on Mother's Day!

    I can live without hearing about Neil or seeing his picture for quite a while.  Every time I think Show can't lay in on any thicker, somehow they manage to do just that.  It irks the hell out of me to hear Devon give that soliloquy to Neil about loving him so completely blah blah blah and never mention Dru.  Dru apparently isn't even chopped liver.

    Yeah, it's getting super-weird now.  Devon has pictures of Neil at his home.  Why does he need to stare at the one in the club and toast to it every three days?  As for Dru, there would be no Devon *Winters* if it hadn't been for Dru.  She was doggedly persistent about adopting Devon when Neil was dead-set against the idea for a good long time before he agreed to it.  I felt a little bad for Tucker, who looked disappointed that McCall wasn't anywhere in that list of names.

    My guesses for Sharon's stalker are Matt Clark (Is he dead? Not that it matters on this show.)   Or Cameron Kirsten (also possibly dead, but I believe he's the RL husband of Susan Walters, so there's that).  If it is Dylan, please let it be a re-cast and not that reject from Value City Furniture.

    Jack, the housekeeping at the motel may not be up to par with the Greek Phyllo, but the maids at the motel have twenty rooms to clean versus the one room everyone shared at that miserable hotel.  I'm so glad they are back to using the GCAC.  I hated everything about that hotel set.

  3. Sooooo..."Finding Princess Luisa" is not the children's version of OmahaSphere?  I can't imagine any adult playing a game with that title unless Princess Luisa can be found straddling a stripper pole.

    These people are ruining our break from Crispy! All they do is talk about her. If we must hear about the witch, Christine should be working overtime to prove that the body in the crash was not that of the cawing Crispy. The loon ran down Christine, smirked in her face and made comments through the years. What the hell is wrong with Christine? 

    It is really hard to believe that Christine, of all people, has doubts that Phyllis is capable of such a thing.

  4. Has Sally ever met Christian?  Has she ever even been to Nick's house?  The entirety of their relationship seems to have been spent in Sally's hotel rooms.  

    This show cracks me up with the way they handle sales of huge corporations.  It's like Tucker just transfered the title of his Honda over to Victor, who handed the keys to Adam.  "Okeydoke, I'm CEO now!"

    Elena gave up a position at Johns Hopkins to be with NastyNuts, which must really sting now.  I hope she sticks around.  The show needs some genuinely nice normal people.  They need to bring back that silver fox Dr. Neville for her.  She's earned it!

    That whole thing felt off to me. First of all, why hasn't Harmony met Dominic yet? He's almost two years old. Is her mystery job so important she couldn't spare a moment to come visit her first grandchild? Yet she could return to GC to commemorate a guy who's been dead since before Dom was born.

    Second, were Harmony and Neil even that close? Seems like the only reason she showed up is because Tucker talked her into it. If Devon had really wanted Harmony to be there he could've sent a car or jet for her himself.

    And third, I'm wondering if maybe they brought Harmony on to make up for Dru being barely mentioned, plus the lack of Moses, Mattie, Charlie, Olivia, and Ana. Harmony isn't related to Lily or Nate though so how does that work?

    The whole thing seemed thrown together at the last minute to me. (But Abby did such a wonderful job decorating, dontcha know?🙄) And Devon and Lily were being propped merely for being raised by Neil. Yeesh, I wonder how many other out-of-the-blue excuses JG can come up with to have group events in that room because he has run this Neil worship into the ground IMO.

    Yolanda was living with the Winters for a while when she was homeless and kind-of-but-not-really recovering from her addiction.  She stole something from Neil for drug money, but he still helped her get clean and even got her a job at Jabot.  She came onto him (Dru was still alive at the time), but he turned her down and she moved out of the apartment.   When she came back years later as Harmony, she and Neil had an affair that ended his marriage to Sophia.  I'm not debating any of the other points, but Harmony and Neil did have a connection.

    One thing about catching the show on Paramount+ is that there are no commercials, which reduces the running time to 36 minutes and 29 seconds - wow, a whole 23 minutes and 71 seconds of airtime are tied up in commercials!

    And most of those commercials are from Big Pharma, peddling drugs with a list of side effects that sound worse than whatever ailment they cure!

    They could’ve given us the illusion that she had to spend a few hours tracking them down since LA is the size of you know, Los Angeles.

    That must be the only restaurant in Los Angeles, because Jack and Phyllis ate there about a dozen times when Jack first met Allie and discovered not-dead Diane.  I'm a little surprised they didn't take advantage of a cross-over opportunity (and an existing set) and eat at Il Giardino, which is now owned by Deacon Sharpe.  

    There's so much to love in NinjaPenguins' amazing recaps, but I think my favorite part is Summer's "asshole" epithet.

  7. I'm not sure if this got much press, but the CDC has approved and recommends an additional Covid booster for people over 65 years old and for those with compromised immune systems.  I took my parents to get theirs yesterday.  I want one, too!  But I'm not eligible.  I feel stupid for being annoyed that I'm under 65 and that my immune system is ok.  😕

    Where is Kevin when you need him. As the computer tech, for the GCPD, he could determine the IP address where the order was placed.  You can’t buy Cyanide at Walmart or CVS so I would imagine the seller would have more detailed records, of the purchase,  not just the purchase receipt.  Plus we need Kevin to find the CCTV footage of the accident. 
     

    One last thing for now. Where is the EMT and why hasn’t Michael deposed him?  Is the EMT another person that they won’t be able to find to give testimony at trial?  

    When Jeremy paid off the EMT, he also told him to leave town and assume a new identity.  Nice work, if you can get it! 

    It is strange that Kevin has not been around for any of this, if only to support his good friend Daniel.

    Did Phyllis anonymously text Summer and ask to meet?  Is that why Summer was acting so fidgety?

    I thought it was hilarious that Sharon wanted to have dinner in a place that must hold so many happy memories for her!

  9. I have a new pair of scissors just like those, and I can barely cut through the tape on my Amazon packages with them.

    Summer has been stuck on stupid since 2013.  I can't believe she wanted to re-enact her mother's death!  I mean, if Phyllis had actually been killed, I would watch that on a loop.  Please don't saddle Chance with Summer's dumb ass.  

    I'm still trying to figure out why Jeremy and Phyllis needed Diane's ring?  What was the significance of that?

    Don't think my questions belong on the show thread, so I am posing them here to you posters who are way more show savvy then me. First, the show seemed to start eliminating sets, stylists, good costuming, and writers. Now, younger trending characters like Ally, Faith, Noah, Moses, & Amira have gone missing. My question is could the cumulative salaries/benefits to "old guard" characters like Victor, Nikki, Jack, Sharon, Ashley, Nick, Phyllis, Victoria, Billy and the remaining "writer" JG be dragging this show down financially? Because IMO, these characters have all passed their expiration dates of being young (or for the most part restless) and the writing is dull as dust. IMO, somebody needs to hit the "refresh" button on the show and scripts. Hugs to all the posters here that are having health challenges, wishing speedy recoveries to you all, and the show too!

    I don't really follow the behind-the-scenes stuff very closely.  I only know what other posters have mentioned here, so my answer might not mean much.  Someone has said recently that the CBS studios are being renovated, so that (along with budget cuts) might account for the limited sets.  And apparently younger people generally aren't that into soaps anymore, considering all of the other options they have for distractions.  If they aren't attracting many new younger viewers, that may explain the emphasis on the "old guard" characters.  I agree with you about this writer.  He really has no idea how to tell a story.  I've been watching so long, the show is more of a habit that I should probably try to kick!  

    Others probably have better answers to your questions.

    I'm also sending my best wishes to everyone dealing with health issues, annoying colleagues, and/or other nuisances!

  11. Some recent convenient coincidences have been giving me an awful feeling.  In her remarks at the service, Lauren mentioned out of the blue how Phyllis was another of Sheila's many victims, just as Sheila's time on B&B has wound down.  She's supposed to be in prison (for life, this time) after having confessed to a murder, but we all know how that goes.  Lucy's arrival makes me think it's even more likely she'll be in GC soon.  I don't understand why these shows can't quit this character or the canned ham that plays her.

  12. Why isn't Billy there, bringing his undertaker vibe?  And why are the wait staff wearing yarmulkes?  In the real world, those three servers would be asking Phyllis, "Who the fuck are you?  We're only supposed to split this tip three ways."   A strand of Phyllis' real hair was escaping from under the wig.  Will anybody notice?

    It's still fascinating IMO how Christine is chummy with Lauren. Lauren's husband went to prison for sexually assaulting Christine back in the day. Bygones?

    Lauren's second husband Scott was Cricket's half-brother (and almost husband), and Lauren's first husband is Cricket's current husband.  And Cricket put aside her grievances against Michael when he donated his kidney to Danny.  I know 100% that I'm a club of one over here, but I have a soft spot for Cricket.  We're the same age, so we grew up together, and Cricket has always had a capacity for forgiveness.  Except for Phyllis...that grudge never died.  Hmmm, I wonder why?

  13. Nikki, Summer dossn't need your help planning Phyllis' service because she has my help.  I've already ordered several bouquets of rolled up tube socks and I booked Kool and the Gang to perform "Celebration".  I also rented a dumpster that we can place the urn on.  Phyllis was all about class, and so am I.

    Previews!!!  Phyllis' memorial!  Is Danny going to sing?  Will Jack make balloon animals?  Will Nick prank the congregation with whoopie cushions?  Will Stark make velour a mandated dress code?  Will Phyllis show up in dark glasses and a long dress because absolutely nobody will recognize her then!

    Remember when Phyllis dressed as a man and got herself arrested so she could go to jail and confront the guy who killed Damon Porter's child?  I'm not quite sure how she got past the strip search.  I thought she might try that again, but drag shows are verboten in so many places now, seeing as how they are responsible for all of society's ills and such.

    1.)  ”You don’t want to take your shirt off, go be a roofer.” Agree!

    2.)  The ball masks took a month to make?

    1.)  I didn't understand the joke.  I've seen lots of shirtless roofers.  And JM might want to do us all a favor and keep his shirt on from now on.

    2.) It took a month of arts and crafts therapy sessions at the local mental institution to make those masks.

    Nate explained that he didn't arrive with Elena because she hadn't finished her shift at the hospital yet.

    I freaking loved the dismissive attitude Ashley and Tucker were throwing Victoria's way.  That's how everyone should deal with her.  Tushley are my new favorite couple.

    The character of Devon Hamilton made his first appearance in June of 2004 and the character of Mamie Johnson made her last appearance, until now, in September of 2004, so there was some overlap - anyone know if those two characters were ever introduced?

    When Devon was introduced, he was the street urchin foster kid with trust issues and a chip on his shoulder who spent all his time at the community rec center that Victor had to establish in lieu of jail time for his commercial bribery scheme.  Dru and Lily were volunteering to help get the place open and that's how they all met.  It took a while for that to play out, so if Mamie left three months after Devon arrived, I doubt their paths ever crossed.  It didn't look like they even knew each other at the party, and Devon wasn't included in the get-together plan with Lily and Nate.   

    The masks looked *really* cheap, like they came from Party City or a junior high art class assignment.  I was kind of expecting something like those amazing Venetian Carnival masks.  It also looked like Nick and Adam were wearing the same suit.  I wonder if that was planned?

    Okay, maybe I'm having an alternate-universe moment, but I do recall someone redecorating the Abbot manse, making a big deal about it, then quietly the manse was reredecorated back. Anyone else?

    I vaguely remember this, too.  Was it GT's Phyllis?  And Jack changed everything back when he found out about the affair with Billy?  Phyllis recently floated the idea of re-doing the house for a Marchetti Home photo shoot, but she got her crazy ass fired before anything came of it.

    Wasn't there a stage at Society that was also named for Neil?  Ana's father Jett played his comeback show there?  The Neil Winters Jazz Club doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, and it sounds pretty stuffy.  That was a pretty crass ploy on Victor's part.  I hope he gets zero pay-off for it.

  16. I'm so glad this shindig is at the GCAC and not at The Glazed Pączki or the Spam Club.  How can I get on a Beverage Committee?  I'd just get a few bottles of top shelf stuff and really stock up on Thunderbird and Mad Dog 20/20.  At a certain point after rich people start boozing, you could give them rubbing alcohol and they wouldn't know the difference.

    The red carpet nonsense was cringeworthy, but Tucker is hilarious, and I loved the look on Sally's face when Shadam showed up.   I guess Jeremy will be the Dollar Store version of David Kimball at this year's masked ball.  What is Abby's surprise for Devon?  Mamie?  I often get the timelines confused, but wasn't she already gone by the time he arrived on the scene?

    I thought just about everyone looked nice.
