^Please let it be Brooke! He's a little too young for her, but Caroline is too young for Ridge, so it would work.

Brooke offered her home and they declined, so I'm guessing it's their choice to stay in the motel. Maya once mentioned her father was proud and wouldn't take handouts, and she even snuck money into her mother's purse.

Is Bill going to start keeping a stash of tube socks in his office?

I thought it looked better on Maya. The color kind of made Victoria look washed out, but it really complemented Maya. Maybe this will be the "Is it a blue dress or a gold dress?" of 2016!I really enjoyed the show today. As inappropriate as Quinn's and Wyatt's conversations are, those two have such a great dynamic that makes it fun. And Liam kicking Steffy to the curb was worth the wait, no matter how this ends. But I agree with Cupid Stunt...this scion of a publishing magnate can't afford one night in a motel?

Hey, klopek! Where did you find this picture of John Abbott and Victor in their younger days?

I was going to ask if that was the same dress! I never notice that kind of thing, but it's kind of a distinctive pattern.

How in the world will somebody who said, "you can never take the audience for granted" be able to work with Chuckles? He and JFP were proven failures before they came to Y&R. That's why I'm kind of blown away to hear that a new hire has not come from one of the defunct soaps. It's a little odd, though, that they aren't saying what his role is. Coronation Street has never aired where I am, but I have heard a lot of good things about it. I haven't seen Eastenders in about 25 years, because the tiny PBS channel that used to show it here couldn't afford how much the BBC started demanding once the show became wildly popular. But I still have vivid memories of the characters. Last year, I saw a clip on Youtube that showed . And even though I haven't seen the show in all these years, I was crushed by that. That's kind of impressive.

^^^^^The mere fact that he is not a member of this incestuous merry-go-round who go from show to show and leave devastation in their wake gives me a glimmer of hope.

Eastenders hasn't aired here in years, but I used to LOVE it. I'm very cautiously optimistic by this news. Hopefully, it means Pratt and JFP are on their way out and that CBS is actually invested in keeping the show on the air. "...you can never take the audience for granted." A good sign, right?

Aww, don't do that! We'd miss you!Just keep telling yourself that this job is only a temporary solution, but use that feeling of wanting to shoot yourself in the face as motivation to find something else that will make you happy. In the meantime, I can speak from experience that it helps you tolerate a crappy situation if you have something else in your life to divert your attention from the crappy situation. Pick something that you like or that relaxes you, like a painting class or yoga. Didn't you say you used to work in animal welfare? Maybe you could volunteer at your local shelter. They almost always need people to walk dogs or socialize cats. And sometimes, just sometimes, that extra thing you do puts you in a different circle and lets you meet new people who might know about a new opportunity that might be right for you, and it just might lead you to a whole new adventure.... Sorry for the unsolicited advice. I've been in your shoes and I understand how frustrating it can be.

Those two random people were not from Big Brother. The Big Brother contestants usually make their appearance in the early fall, since Big Brother ends in mid-September and everyone would forget who they are not too long after that. This year, there was the guy who delivered pizza to Ivy and Wyatt during one of their sex marathons, and three others showed up at the Forrester Halloween party. Other years, they have been employees or patrons at Bikini."Loading Dock Guy" is Malcolm from Survivor!

^St. Stench, The Most Qualified fraudulant doctor in Genoa City, can stop by Crimson Lights and pick up some of St. Dylan's Special Miracle Blend in a to-go cup, slip it into Billy's IV, and voilà, problem solved. I guess Tan Sofa Billy is officially gone, because all we are currently seeing is a headless torso in a hospital bed metamorphosing into Swarthy Hipster Billy.

Oh, Quinn, I love you, but STAY.OUT.OF.IT! How frustrating to see Wyatt be self-aware and make some sense, only to have Quinn convince him that it would be a good idea to pursue yet another woman obsessed with his brother. Today's ending is why I just can't give up on this show. They can (and do) bring the funny, no matter how ridiculous it is!

I'm a little surprised the success of Downton Abbey hasn't sparked more of a change on this front. Bartenders and baristas are the closest thing to the middle class we see on soaps anymore, and even they all have billionaire parents. Maybe we should send him in Brooke's direction to cure her of her Billemia!

Oh, Ivy...you're "still hanging on to Hope"? Liam's got that covered.

^^Preview of 2016? Are we sure that wasn't the recap of 2015?

Today, I'm hoping to see that Quinn brought a sword with her. Waffle kebobs all around!

I enjoyed the show today, and it's soapy goodness like this that makes B&B tbe best one standing, IMO. It's also the reason I tend to cut it some slack when it gets boring. Either Ivy suffered brain-damage from the electic shock, or she's fallen under the spell of Liam's Hypnotic Penis. Conveniently Left-Open Door (CLOD) needs to be added to the opening credits, because it is the character that gets the most screen time and influences the most plots. Quinn and CLOD's scene today made up for that fake-out with Wyatt last week. As a Brooke fan, I hope to see more of her, not less. It may have been KKL's choice to take a back seat for a while? She helped carry the show for two decades, so I could see her wanting to take a break.

Oh, Cupid, you are one seriously twisted individual. Which is why I think I <3 U! I'm already planning to come trick-or-treating at the Stunt house next Halloween!

As I wind down my Christmas shopping, I know exactly what I want to get for Chuckles. Anybody want to chip in and send him a career counselor? Because this whole TV-show-writing thing isn't at all in his wheelhouse. As for JFP, I was thinking about a Ouija board, so she can contact all of the shows she's killed.

My memory is fuzzy, but I think Ryan was long dead by the time AH replaced Heather Tom. But I agree that she had chemistry with Billy Miller.

Arggg! I'm now done with Ivy, especially since she knows Wyatt doesn't want to be anybody's second choice again. Didn't they bond over that? Now she says she'll be happy with him as a second choice? Fuck you, Ivy. I'm also done with Zende. He was not against Nicole's decision. Well, he was for it before he was against it before he was for it again. Whatever...HE WAS WITH HER WHILE THE SEED WAS BEING PLANTED. That doesn't exactly scream, "I'm totally against this." Fuck you, Zende.

I just played the JingleCats video, and my cat came running in from another room to see what the hell was going on! When Ivy was in the hospital and Wyatt seemed firmly in Ivy's corner, I was convinced this whole partner-swapping odor that had been hanging in the air was finally gone. Now, I'm not so sure again. The winds change with every episode!

^Oh my gods! THAT'S how I feel when I watch Y&R! I couldn't find the words to describe it, but there it is!This whole Steffy-Ivy thing is now officially cracking me up! So now that Steffy concedes that they are, in fact, family, can she send the memo to Thomas?

I think Julius was a limo driver?
