Hey, if Hope is coerced into apologizing to asshole Ridge, then I want it to be one of those Real Housewives non-apologies Ramona was always throwing out -- Oh gee, Ridge, I'm soooo sorry if you were offended by . . .  whatever bullshit you were supposedly offended by, and now, are you gonna apologize to me for constantly referring to me as a b*tch & a sl*t to my mother?

Hard agree! They need to get her back to brunette stat! It’s a shame to waste her complexion with that washed out dye job

It's the weirdest freakin' thing with her.  Now that she's blonde, I NEVER know who she is.  When she comes on, I'm ALWAYS thinkin' -- Who the heck is this woman?

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

Oh no, we’re stuck with yet another annoying mysonmysonmyson storyline?  Except instead of endless pouts, we’re left with endless shrieking & hissy fits from The Red Beast.  And this son is forty, and with the grey shit on his mug, looks 50.  How long are they gonna drag this unwatchable shit out?

Yeah, Diane’s hair is bugging me too.  Wonder if the grey is changing her hair texture.  I’m puzzled how the grey is only in one spot at the front.  Is the rest colored?  Well, I give SW kudos for letting any grey come thru.  At this point, Lauren’s & Nikki’s color jobs look nuts!

Sheesh, every time I’m seein’ that pink couch I’m hoping Harrison stains it up with one of Mrs. M’s brownies.  So Pomp promised not to tell Harrison about moving in with Claire until Summer comes back?  OK, so he ain’t ever gonna tell the kid?  Alrighty then.

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

From the previews next week, beware The Red Beast getting angry!  Eek & yikes!!!

Sheesh, was The Red Beast a total asshole to Tessa or what?  I figured the hug wasn’t real.  Kinda like being hugged by a bat.  Ew.  The expression on Tessa’s mug said it all — after The Red Beast slunk away, after throwing endless snarky, nasty comments at her.  Ugh, she is garbage.

OK, so now Sharon is The Red Beast’s ONLY friend, who she can use as her sounding board — at least, according to her?  Yeah, right!

I’m wondering what exactly Vic is expecting from Audra that will be good enough proof she’s “making progress” with Pomp, before he’ll fork over dough to start her business with the weirdo name.  Uh, porn pics?

I still don’t think Audra has any idea what she got herself into with this horrible deal with Vic.  And I blame the writers for how lowball, vulgar, ugly & truly misogynistic this awful storyline is.  Yech to all of it!

 

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

Hey, I’m all for Audra busting up Clomp, but I’m just not gettin’ how she’s planning to accomplish this.  Vic has pretty much spelled out he wants “results” fast & he expects a seduction.  She seems to think she can bust them up w/o that, cuz Natey would sniff out that kinda shit right off.  Me thinks she’s headed for trouble.

And that weird freakin’ name.  I couldn’t understand what the name was, even tho both Vic & Pomp seemed to luv it.  Er, huh?  Guess anything is better than Pissade — or not.

Buh-bye Cole!  Will he make it thru next week?  I’m betting not.

Btw, will Sally ask Chloe to join her?  Chloe strikes as the kind of sensible gal that would turn her down & say she’d join her when & if it becomes an actual business, cuz right now it’s a bunch of nothing with a name.

[B&B: What's Up Today at Forrester Creations? - Daily Chat]

Oh Liam, keep your crap advice to yourself, will ya?  And Hope actually listens to the goofball with the stupid head thing?  She’s really gonna give The Wimp another chance?  Really?  Sheesh, she’s as ridiculous & foolish as mommy!

I was rubbing my eyes in disbelief & trying to unclog my ears!  What the what?  Can it be???  Smuggy actually did something thoughtful & kind for someone other than herself, & insisted Liam tell Hope about his condition.  Unbelievable!!!!  But did the dumbass do it?  No, of course not.  Will the dumbass do it?  No, of course not cuz he’s such a dumbass!

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

Oh Audra, there ya go again with your cockiness & over-confidence, & clearly forgetting who you’re dealing with.  She sounded kinda condescending with Vic.  Er, huh?  Sorry, sweetie, but ya made a hooker deal with Vic & he fully expects you to hooker yourself & if ya think you can avoid doing that?  Good luck, hun!

Well, at least she did mention wanting to hire staff & get office space — if she can fool Vic into forking over the dough to her.  Won’t be easy, Audra, won’t be easy.  Uh, has Billy EVER mentioned hiring staff, other than Daniel, The Red Beast or Sally or getting office space?  Yeah right.

Forget about Hunter King coming back.  She has other commitments.  She was meh, so no biggie.

Mikey is playing with both Vic & Jackie?  Another one who’s way too cocky & over-confident and will clearly get burned.

Pomp didn’t seem bothered at all by Audra calling him a nepo baby.  Idk, looks like Audra is way under-estimating Claire.  Would luv to see her bring out Claire’s evil side.  We know it’s there, but Show has purposely squelched it.

Brw, what the heck did Audra name her non-business?  Le Brontë?  Who thinks this shit up?

Well, AL sure is signing off with plenty of pouty faces.

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

So AL just announced she’s leaving & Friday will be her last ep.  YAY!!  We don’t have to look at those annoying pouts anymore . . .

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

Ah, poor, poor J. Eddie!  Apparently, Bell dragged him outta oblivion & obscurity cuz he’d been doing almost zilch for the last 15 years or so.  And now, when the character seems to be happy & doing well, Show is gonna bump him off?  Really?

He’s looking so much better, with a fresh shave & a good dye job (finally getting rid of the unappealing homeless man stubble he always had before).  Cruel stuff, Bell, to throw him right back into that large pool of unemployed Hollywood actors.

And what worse fate is there for Cole, than to be cared for by Vicks?  She offered him an aspirin & a vitamin C & that tiny uncomfortable-looking sofa?  Not even a bed?  Oh yeah, being cared for by Vicks means he’ll be dead by the end of the week.  Thanks a lot for caring, Vicks!  You really stink, hun!

Welp, we can depend on Sally to make ALL the wrong choices for herself.  Certainly the worst men & now the wrong career choice.  Guess there’s gonna be lots of pouty faces from Dumber cuz she’s gonna be stuck working with Chloe — and we haven’t yet gotten her reaction about Pomp & Claire moving in together.  Such fun, right?  Meh, not so much.

[B&B: What's Up Today at Forrester Creations? - Daily Chat]

OMG, it’s Groundhog Day & Brooke throws herself at Hobo’s feet yet again, so he can reject her.  And he always pauses before he rejects her.  To humiliate her even more?  How many more times is Show gonna trot out this same boring crap we’ve already seen 800 billion times?

Wow, Carter seems shocked that anyone assumes he & The Smelly Vampire are involved.  Why are ya shocked, Wimp?  She’s throwing herself at ya every 2 seconds (while NEVER doing a stitch of work) & ya never ever push her away or tell her to back the fuck off, so why ya shocked, Wimp?

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

So let's see, what would Sally be giving up, to work with Billy the loser & his business that has a name, but nothing else?  Looks like Chelsea will work with Adam, which leaves her to be replaced by Sally & since Summer never does any work, Sally would be leading that company -- an established business in fashion, which she said she loves.  Oh Sally, why not let Billy crash & burn yet another op with crazy Phyllis?

Uh, Audra, ya look great in your jogging togs but shaddup with your crappy advice to Sally, hun!

Billy surprised me.  He was tough & firm, yet considerate & kind with both Daniel & Phyllis.  Another surprise was The Red Beast's treatment of Tessa.  I thought she was gonna haul out & smack her.  Instead, she hugs her.  Er, huh?  Has The Red Beast lost her mojo?  Heading toward the looney bin, is she?  Will she develop 800 personalities?  Please, no, Show!

Actually, Phyllis is a way better fit to be with Billy & his non-business with only a name.  But I guess we're heading to a competition btw Adam & Chelsea and Billy & Sally?  Meh.

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

Hmmm, were there major sparks btw Lils & Holden?  But then again, Holden could spark with a mop, so who knows?

So is Mikey gonna turn on Vic?  He clearly knew nothing of the hooker deal Vic struck with Audra.

Now, if Pomp & Claire were an interesting couple (and not the unhot bores they are) they woulda had sex on the pink sofa, and stained it up so badly it would piss off Diane so much, we’d finally see snakey, ferocious Diane come back to GC.  But we didn’t get any of that cuz Pomp & Claire are boring as shit.  Yawn.

[B&B: What's Up Today at Forrester Creations? - Daily Chat]

Ah, today features Smuggy & Dishrag, looking miserable & with lots of pained expressions on their mugs.  Luv it!  And luv that Eric casually shut down Smuggy’s smugness.  Be gone, Smuggy!  Dishrag just can’t help herself from putting down Brooke, eh?  Very Greenlee of her.  This shit will backfire on ya, Dishrag.

It was almost a good day.  Until The Smelly Vampire jumped all over The Wimp.  Why oh why doesn’t he tell her to fuck the fuck off?  That woman is so creepy!

More with Spencer (looking bloated) & Heidi (with her weird neon yellow hair)?  Ew, make it stop, Show.

Do they make Beige look more plain on purpose? She’s so pathetic these days. 
I still don’t want Brooke going back to Ridge after the horrible things he said about Hope. Let that drowned rat have him and always be scared of losing the jerk.

Yeah, I was thinkin' the same thing cuz wow, she really did look like a worn out dishrag. and RB does still look good.  And as good as KKL still looks, she's 10 years older than RB.  Idk, that supposed show-stopper looked very ordinary & unoriginal to me.  But the necklace was a stunning piece &  KKL looked great with it.

I give Heidi & Spencer credit for being able to keep themselves out there, despite having zero talent & being total bores.  Heidi desperately needs help with her hair color, which looks weird & way too yellow.  Yikes, Spencer sure has aged terribly.  Whatever, 2 more idiots I couldn't care less about & completely ignore.

It's not a portrait of Dina, it's an old picture Dina bought John, according to some note on the back, in 1956.

Yeah, I saw that, but my point is, why have Dina the focal point of this redo and the Abbott home . . . & NOTHING of John Abbott anywhere?  Anywhere?  And then we see zillions of flashbacks of Jackie fondly remembering his father.  Er, huh?

Yeah, I think they came to some level of forgiveness for Dina abandoning the family, but to feature ANYTHING of Dina, while completely ignoring the patriarch of the family makes absolutely no sense.

And we’ve seen portraits of Vic & Katherine, yet nothing of John Abbott.  Makes me wonder why . . .

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

Why the heck was Jackie going all nuts over this redo, centered around a portrait of the mother who deserted the family?  Seriously, WTF?  And ignoring the op to showcase a portrait of the patriarch of the family, without whom they wouldn’t have their fancy lifestyle?  I don’t get this at all.  Never woulda happened in a zillion years with Vic or Katherine.

And that pink couch, that pink couch, that pink couch!  C’mon, Diane, what were you thinking with that, hun?  She wanted to know so badly if Jackie wanted to change anything & then got super defensive when he said the couch was feminine.  That’s not really the prob with it.  That sofa will attract dirt & dust & be impossible to clean, and will look as dreary & shitty as the rest of the redo in no time.  Meh, build up to a redo that wasn’t much of a redo.

Way, way, way TMI on The Weasel & The Cryer.  Wait, are we supposed to care about ANYTHING related to these bores?  Uh, no!

Sheesh, Lils, you really have become so humorless & judgey — or were ya always this way?

I was so bored this week I missed the reveal.  Pomp started talking {was it Pomp?} the only thing keeping me awake was Audra's hideous dress. That and  neon Bluetooth's twitching and manic speed talking.

I kinda look forward to seeing what Audra will wear.  She’s got a fun, campy style & she wears stuff only she can pull off.  The handsie-sleeve dress she wore today was form-fitting & super long, but she looked great!  Luved the color on her & the “painted” flowers were really cool.  

What a diff from the ridiculous shit The Red Beast & Lauren always wears.  Nikki always looks like she’s trying too hard to have an aura of a fancy lady — maybe to camouflage her stripper past?  Vicks, Lils, Sharon, Chelsea & of course Claire all dress so meh & forgettable.  Diane has a nice style, if maybe too tasteful, safe, sensible, and somewhat dull.  And Dumber?  Eh, Idk or care, can’t get past her pouts.

Nope, as I said before, Audra is the only one on this show worth watching . . .

Is that portrait of Dina?  I didn't get a really good look.

I'll be in the minority on this, but I liked it.  But that's probably because I decorate similarly, though my stuff is more just old than any fine antiques.  Not much clutter, per se, but if I like where I hang a picture or put a dresser, chances are really good it'll still be in that spot 20 years later!

2 words for ya, boes — Antiques Roadshow!  Now, who knows?  Maybe Diane took the old stuff over to a junk dealer & pocketed whatever she could get for it.  I’m still suspect this nicely-nice Diane is a put-on & she’ll reveal herself eventually to be the snake she’s always been.  Or at least that’s what should happen . . .

I am insulted on John Abbott’s behalf that his portrait is not hanging over the fireplace. He was a longterm major character on this show during its early days- much more so than Dina, in my recollection.

I'm surprised at this too.  Wonder if this is a purposeful slight coming from Bell.  I'd think a nice tribute to Jerry Douglas woulda been to have his portrait front & center in this redo.  And it would have made sense, since Jackie has been babbling so much about family. 

But Dina?  Really?  Feh!  Oh Diane, you don't get this bunch at all, do you, hun?  When was the last time ANYONE mentioned her -- even in passing?  Maybe Traci did once for 5 seconds in the last 10 years?  This nicey-nice Diane is clueless!

And whose brilliant idea was it to plop a pink sofa in the middle of all that dreariness & a sea of fugly knick-knacks?  Eh, I predicted I'd be unimpressed and  . . . I'm unimpressed.

Idk, am I alone here in thinking Audra remains the ONLY character worth watching now?  Sure, her smooching up to Vic and the alcoholic ex-stripper was obvious & over the top, but it was also kinda hilarious.  I luv that she expresses how she clearly knows when people can't stand her, but she also makes it clear she gives zero fucks.

AFAIC, Daniel better hope no one compares him to Eric Clapton. Clapton may be considered one of the best guitarists of all time but he's also said and done some incredibly sh!tty stuff across a variety of issues. He can blame most of it on drug and alcohol addiction but IMO he's long been a fundamentally hateful human being.

Agreed on all that, Joi.  Clapton is beyond disappointing, but I was only referring to his talent, which can’t be denied.  And the reason I brought up his name is I vaguely remember MD mentioned him in some interview as one of his idols.  Wasn’t sure if he was comparing himself to Clapton, but thought it was laughable.

Still wondering where the Daniel storyline is going.  Tessa & Daniel will be playing Feelings for nickels & dimes in the coffee shop, while The Red Beast jumps up & down like a lunatic & claps furiously, wearing a tightly-tight, shoulder-less, handsie-sleeve, boobiies-baring get-up?  Which of course will skeer everyone away, leading Daniel to yet another “career”?

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

What do ya bet our gal Audra will be up to speed by next week, in starting her biz?  Even before she has a name for it, she’ll probably hire staff, have office space & be up & running.  Why?  Cuz she ain’t some lazy nepo baby — and of course, Vic wouldn’t tolerate what Billy is doing (as Jackie foolishly has) — babbling a name over & over, but doing zilch to actually starting a business.

Just luv when the alcoholic ex-stripper looks down her snoot on others.  Oh please, Nikki, go put your head under a faucet, hun cuz that monstrosity hair-don’t is hurtin’ our eyes.  Also luved how Audra totally ignored Nikki’s snippy, snarky insults to her.

The redo looks like a museum.  Ick.  Cold & charmless.  Hey, Jackie, call Flo the insurance lady for an estimate to get the old stuff back!

Wow, Cole shaved his face & finally doesn’t look like a homeless drug addict.  Reminder that J. Eddie is still a really shitty actor.  Uh-oh, he coughed once.  In soapland that = dead by next month . . .

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

“High-haired smirking dipshit”?  I can’t stop laughing over that one!  Thanks, Ninja!

Luv that Phyllis is talking corner offices.  I feel like screaming at my screen.  IT’S NOT A FUCKING BUSINESS, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU LOSERS SAY THE NAME!!!!

So what is Show building up to with Daniel?  He’s gonna start playing & leave everyone astonished at his great & awesome talent & compare him to Eric Clapton?  Yeah, right.  Or will he turn out to be as meh as his has been, barely talented father?  Either way — big snooze & yawn to any of this shit.

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

And just what is Holden's job anyway?  We thought he was Damian's assistant, but Damian doesn't seem to do any work, so what the heck does he need an assistant for?  And he seems to have mostly forgotten about Holden, which clearly leaves Holden plenty of time to hang out at bars.  Guess that's why he has time to flirt with Claire & hit up Audra for a job?

OK, so I figured The Red Beast's fashion sense is only unto her.  After all, nobody else in GC goes shoulder-less, & uses every op possible to showcase her boobs in the middle of a freezing winter in the Midwest, right?  Oh yeah, there is Lauren, who does that too, but she's also the only one in GC who wears one-shoulder cave-lady get-ups in the middle of winter.

But when I saw Audra wearing that extended handsie-sleeve dress, I was wondering WTF is going on here?  Are extended handsie-sleeve dresses a thing now?  Phyllis has been wearing this shit before, so I figured it was something only a lunatic maniac nutcase like her would wear.  But now Audra too?  What the what?  Is this now a trend in GC?  Or did the wardrobe peeps gets a buyout on this crap before TJ Maxx?

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

Hmmm, why is it Audra can look at someone else’s situation (Sally’s) & easily, quickly & casually assess it so correctly?  And yet, she makes such horrible choices for herself, while ignoring Sally’s good advice.  Luved how Audra said Phyllis is “toxic” with the same sneer most GC’ers have when referring to The Red Beast.

For anyone else, Phyllis’ looney rants & tirades & tantrums would be an immediate & obvious warning sign to stay far, far away.  But not Billy.  And no, Sally, it ain’t cuz he’s too nice.  That’s not it at all.  It’s that he’s too fucking lazy to look for good people to hire.  What a loser.

[Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat]

The way The Red Beast has been behaving lately, the wardrobe peeps should have a really easy time of it, outfitting her in the latest trends in strait jackets.  How about a neon red one?  While playing (of course) — They’re coming to take me away, hee, hee, ha, ha, ho, ho, to the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time . . .
