Er, to the producer/writers, hate to break it to ya, but clearly ya have to be told this -- MEN DON'T GET THAT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER! We've seen this several times before, where Adam's & Billy's lips are literally almost touching. WTF with this? Unless they're going for a gay moment btw those 2, this is way off. Sheesh, there's not even that kinda chemistry btw them -- or Adam with anyone, especially Chelsea. And speaking of Chelsea, she could so easily be written out & not missed in the least! Oh Daniel, STFU -- what are ya gonna do . . . punch Sharon in the face? What a loser. Idk, Sharon has gotta be dreaming cuz Nick was NOT his usual dumb & useless self. In fact, he was shockingly quite the opposite. He wasn't just pulling a white knight act, he was making a lot of sense in his defense of Sharon to the 2 morons that are Daniel & Summer. And Mikey? Well, we got a reminder of just how humongous his ego is. But he does like a challenge. So yeah, he's gonna defend & help Sharon. And while he mentioned Phyllis, to acknowledge the annoying reaction that'll predictably come from her when she wakes up (in 10 years -- please, please, please), he'll still take Sharon's case. Ian saying "obedience" gave me the icks. What a charmer, eh? Yuck.

So Daniel is back to being a dickhead -- or he never stopped being one? Just what are ya going to accomplish by confronting Sharon, fool? Well, Michael is sharp, so he may figure out pretty quickly that something isn't right with Sharon's confession. He may be a bit off on the meds explanation, but he's on the right track. Look, he's way better than The Bug as a lawyer. I mean, all she showed us is just how meh her lawyering "skills" are. Uh, actually non-skills -- and they're pretty shitty. Go back to being an AARP groupie, hun. And btw, Bug, your "sympathy" for Phyllis was unnecessary & obviously insincere. Why bother? Oh, I forgot, The Bug is all about being mannerly. Eh, STFU, Bug. So Diane is stuck with some kind of burning hot potato, with Vic throwing Pissade at her? I still don't get it. Papers are signed, says Vic. For what? Is it a sale or he just gives the company to her -- for nothing? And she's not at all suspicious of this? Er, huh? And Vic may think he has the upper hand, but he doesn't know that Diane is not fighting with Jackie, so that could screw up his "grand" plan. OK, I know I shouldn't try to make sense out of the senseless, but I'll try anyway. So for the evil duo to be involved in Heather's killing, would they have been stalking Sharon? And then "struck" at the opportune moment? But how would they know Sharon would break into Heather & Daniel's apartment, when it was a spontaneous idea suggested by Cameron, who was a hallucination in Sharon's mind? Do the evil duo have such exceptional powers, they can read Sharon's mind too? Wait, what? Lots of angry jobless people running around in GC now, eh? There's Lils, Pomp, Billy, Audra, Daniel and Phyllis -- who looks angry even in a coma . . .

Idk, btw Sharon's non-stop blubbering & Pomp's endless lip-disappearing anger (and really annoying whispery huffing & puffing), Show is getting just so dark & humorless. I don't care for it . . . and I'm especially not in the mood for this now. One bright spot is Phyllis in a coma (YAY!), so we get a welcome & much needed break from her screeching lunacy. Uh, so if Diane is back to being nicey-nice, guess that means Meanie Diane never came back to town? Drats! 👎 OK, so Nick is actually kinda right that Sharon's confession doesn't make sense. Cuz while she keeps saying she killed Heather & caused Phyllis' accident, in her confession, she NEVER describes doing either. She blacked out when Heather was killed AND when Phyllis' accident occurred. Now, does anyone expect the 2 brick-walls/airheads that are Nick & Chance to figure this out? Um, no. So who will come to the rescue? I don't understand what's goin' on with Glissade. Is Vic selling it to Diane or is he giving it to her to manage? Very unclear. Sloppy, sloppy writing!

Any guesses how those 2 got together? Er, is there a hook-up app for over-70 singles in prison? Hmmm. Welp, I was right about Jackie & Diane puttin' on an act. The reveal came quicker than I thought . . . as did Sharon's teary/screechy/whiny confession. Ah, but the Dead Martin reveal is gonna take way longer. Btw, were we watchin' the Sharon Case reel for her Emmy nom? Special category for Best Actress Acting to a Brick Wall? Oh, that Josh Morrow, he sure was straining to show some kind of emotion. But nope, he couldn't do it. Even after 30 years, he still stinks. And I mean that literally, cuz he only looked like he was trying hard to squeeze out a fart. And I believe he did. Good work, Josh. Is there an Emmy category for that? Can't believe I'm saying this, but Sally & Billy may actually NOT be a nauseating match-up. Don't hold me to that cuz I'm sure I'll change my mind. So Adam is a no show at his sister's wedding . . . and NOBODY (including his 1,000 year old zombie father) seems to notice or care. OK then.

The re-appearance of Tuck woulda been interesting. But this? Get ready to lose some brain cells, listening to lameness of the explanation of why these 2 are back. Oh yeah, and in the pitch dark, how would Sharon even know it was Phyllis' car, when she wasn't following her? OMG, NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE!!! Guess if continuing to watch, that's gonna be the theme going forward?

Uh, couldn't Sharon have gaslit Phyllis & said to Chance that Phyllis let her in & she was lying about her breaking in? How would he know otherwise? Since GC is the ONLY place on the planet where cameras don't exist, right? I totally did not get Phyllis' reply to Chance asking her if she wanted to press charges against Sharon. She didn't want to "waste an arrest"? Er, huh? Shitty writing cuz that makes absolutely no sense! Mariah was the only one who had a sensibly shocked reaction to Sharon casually resorting to breaking into Phyllis' room. What'd Nick say? D'uh . . . or D'oh? Sorry, wasn't paying much attention to him, but never do (and Dick-o-lus w/o hyphens doesn't come up here anymore w/o being auto-corrected). Ugh. Happy ending for Lils? Did she give up on being pissy and maybe she'll now actually be something resembling nice? Didn't look like it to me. She looked like she was ready to kick Billy's flat ass the first sec she gets back to Chancellor. Will she take the Abbott name off right away? I suspect that's the least she's aiming for. And Jill? As I said before, don't count her out. She could've said right away to Vic -- "Thanks, but no thanks, you condescending old goat!" But she didn't. I say she was playing him & let him think she was seriously considering his offer, while never actually doing that. Jill is a sly one. Ah, so Nikki showed once again she ain't just a snoot & a drunk, she's also as big an a-hole as her 500 year old zombie hubby, eh? Thanks for the reminder, Show! The stuff with Ashley & Devon & Abby was so nauseatingly icky sweet, Show was again testing the strength of my gag reflex. Please don't do that, Show! Must say, that other than the too-yellow hair, ED is looking quite good. Wonder if Dead Martin will notice that & put the moves on her -- and maybe trigger the alters to come out again? Hmmm . . .

Wowza, Vic actually made it down the GCAC look-alike staircase in that gloomy, gloomy, gloomy joint. Shockers! OK, he did hold onto the bannister & then the wall for dear life, but he made it. In that Dark Shadows monstrosity, I expected Vic to rise outta his coffin & show us his fangs. Wait, that didn't happen? Phyllis sounds nuts & Sharon acts loony. Yawn, another day with "Y" in it. So we learned Lauren is Phyllis' best friend? Really? Um, OK. Didn't Phyllis tell the bartender, who looked at her like she was a nutbag he wanted to get far, far, far away from, that she had no friends? Guess she forgot about Lauren? Btw, has Lauren actually stopped wearing one-shoulder leopard-print cave-lady dresses? Say it ain't so! Christine sounded like an idiot & a really shitty & ineffective lawyer. Could Phyllis be right about her? Eek, minds are blown! Vic & Jill? Interesting how Vic smiles & speaks softly when he's at his most insulting & condescending. What a dick. Jill acknowledged it, defended herself & her son, without acting like a lunatic. An unusual thing for the women of GC. She's tough, but a class act. Don't count her out yet! Don't throw tomatoes at me, but I was little (maybe a little more than a little) glad to see Ghost Cam. And there's Ashley & she's all sunshine, smiley-faces, daffodils, rainbows . . . and I was thinkin' she must be on fistfuls of mood-altering meds cuz she was way too happy-happy-happy. So she didn't recognize that Alan isn't Alan, but that he's really Dead Martin? Well, she only talked to him for 3 seconds. And she's high on those meds. Give it time & wait for the meds to wear off. Dead Martin will reveal himself, but Show is gonna drag this storyline out.

Hey, I didn't think about that! And poor Vicky is squished into a tiny shack with Claire, Johnny & Katie. And he doesn't even consider offering it to her? Welp, men first in Vic's world! And everyone (especially women) have gotta fall in line & follow his orders. Oh yeah, thanks for the flashbacks, Show, & the reminder of what a charmer Vic is. So what's Vic's decor inspiration for that creepy joint? Dark Shadows? Any Vincent Price movie? Can we assume the house tour didn't include the requisite basement dungeon? I can guess the scent of all those 50 million candles -- why brussel sprouts, of course!

Ah, so who was Diane on the phone with? She was abrupt & sorta nasty (with a disrespectful tone) & even made somewhat of a stank-face. Would she speak to Jackie that way -- even in this angry mode (real or not) she's in now? Probably not. Could it be Audra? Maybe. BUT Audra, like half the cast now, also lives in GCAC. Couldn't Diane just stop by her room? Not sure it makes sense for it to be Audra cuz she may want revenge, but she needs a job first & foremost. I'm betting it's Tuck! Remember the convo Audra had with Sally, when she said everyone has been cancelling their meetings with her, and she thought it could be Tuck exacting revenge on her? Hmmm, maybe Show was saying to us -- hint, hint, hint . . . Tuck's a-comin' back! And whether it's Tuck or Audra, what if Diane is planning with Jackie to double-cross whoever it is? Eh, think I just gave myself a headache trying to figure this one. Thanks Show!

OK, Sharon insisting on going to the funeral was just oddball -- even for loopy Sharon. By her own admission she barely knew Heather & she made clear she didn't like or respect her -- certainly for her shitty non-mothering skills. So was it cuz she wanted to not look guilty? We don't know cuz ghost Cam isn't appearing anymore, and she has nobody else to tell us what she's thinking. Very confusing & cruddy writing here. Show stylists used the same flat iron on pouty Summer & nutso Phyllis, so they each had similar strings hangin' from their heads. Poor Lauren. Yeah, she was dressed appropriately. No one-shoulder cave-lady dress, but she struggled (I mean REALLY struggled) to move her face & make some (ANY) expression -- but alas, she just couldn't. Nice effort tho, hun. Phyllis's ridiculously inappropriate dress? Well, Elvira would kill for it! Um, can Nick EVER be useful, rather than useless? Uh, no. So once again, idiot Phyllis probably accomplished the exact opposite of what she was going for. Because of this public attack on Sharon & the likely sympathy for her, it will now make it much harder for Christine to build up Sharon as reason for doubt in defending Daniel. Great move, Phyllis, you fool. Can't say I'm diggin' Lils' non-stop pissy act, but Billy's kiss-up routine was lame, lame, lame. Luved how Dead Martin was dithering about moving into the Abbott manse cuz of Ashley. Er, maybe cuz Ashley is gonna recognize that this guy is absolutely NOTHING like the formal, humorless stiff Alan was & she's gonna be suspicious somethin' is up? And Traci was even more annoyingly over-bearing than usual. Still say the writers are so mean to set up her crash landing for the Dead Martin reveal. The look on that bartender's mug when Phyllis was giving her crazy Scarlett O'Hara soliloquy was priceless. It said, "Man, why do I get all crazy GC women?" Well, there so many to choose from, fella.

So what was it -- soft porn day? Camera settling on Carter's nakey chest? Are we supposed to faint, or shudder like Hope did? Nah, not so much. Told ya, KKL is not good at anger. She just broke down & melted into tears at Ridge being an a-hole. Not good. Enough with the tears, KKL, you're too old for this shtick. Get some anger goin', hun! What do they have to do -- get an intern to poke a stick at her? Sheesh, KKL, you've been at this for nearly 40 years, take some acting lessons & learn how to do an anger scene FFS!

A thousand times YES!!! That's exactly why Steffy's loony rage firing makes absolutely makes NO SENSE! So is Ridge a dickless wonder & totally whipped & dominated by Steffy? Hell, yeah! Let's see how Brooke plays this. Not expecting much cuz KKL's acting ability has always been really limited & she doesn't do anger so great. Carter might be the one to watch . . .

Well, that's what I was also referring to in pointing out the cruelty this show seems to love. Guess it's perfect to have Greenlee there, looking all smug & enjoying the cruelty heaped on Hope. Is the assumption that viewers like & prefer to watch cruelty? Not me, no thanks. Btw, anyone else think this cruelty stuff is influenced by The Real Housewives crap?

This show seems to really get off on cruelty, eh? OK, we know Hope is an idiot and an airhead, but NOBODY deserves to be treated in such a humiliating and cruel way. That was awful to watch. Fake Ridge proved himself to be a total wimp, who's now ruled by the whims of his ridiculous fool daughter. And Greenlee standing there in her stupid vest, enjoying watching Hope humiliated? Blech, I can't with her. Take your broken heart crap & shove it, hun. More with Luna-tic . . . and Poopy too? I thought we were rid of 'em. Luna-tic killed people. How the heck is Show gonna bring her back?

Like I said, Show likes to make couples, while splitting up others. And we've just seen a one-time encounter break up 2 couples, while not necessarily leading to another couple getting together. And Show really likes to repeat storylines so . . . Also, assuming these writers understand gay is not an assumption I'd make. Not saying I'd like to see a Daniel/Tessa hook-up cuz I wouldn't -- hope they just stay buds. But giving Tessa more to do is OK by me cuz she's mostly so sidelined & Cait is a good actress. I suspect the writers are stumped on what to do with Tessa & Mariah.
