I've also wondered if Amy could be in on it since she started the whole mystery brother SL. I checked to see if her father Frank Lewis overlapped with Victor and he did (1982-1985), so I wondered if she was seeking retribution for something. Frank was the GC Police Commissioner & Paul’s father’s boss. Frank was critically wounded while on duty and in a coma; he came out of it only to have a heart attack and slip back into it. After Frank had recovered, Paul also worked for the GCPD. In 1985, Frank moved to San Diego. He later suffered a stroke. But I cannot remember if Frank's injury had anything to do with Victor Newman. The Dumas name attached to the Monte Cristo company name seemed like a set-up from the beginning. The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas père, tells the story of an unjustly incarcerated man who escapes to find revenge. Victor is probably responsible for several people being unjustly incarcerated. Who could it be? I'd assumed that the ship that Victor had blown up when trying to kill Jackabbott was Peruvian, but perhaps it was flying under a Greek flag, like 'Aristotle'.

Phyllis is old enough to be Sally's mother; 'Billy' was only 3 when 'Daniel' was born. Y&R should change its name to Middle-aged and Ready-for-a-nap, especially with the boring dialog.

The mystery woman was hanging up coats & memorizing who to give them back to as they left. She also served a tray or two of hor d'oeuvres. Miguel 2.0? or a temp hire?

I've always liked pterodactyls, but it would have been more likely for Phyllis to find mastodon bones when the hole for the hotel across the street was dug - in Wisconsin.

They got married on Wednesday, November 13, 2034, Y&R's 13,000th episode (I had to look it up because I wasn't sure if I had imagined the unmemorable occasion). A few family members stood around listening to Victor talk in his livingroom; it didn't look or seem like a wedding. They immediately left town & Abby was taken off contract, and we rarely see Devon. So no flashbacks either.

Depending on where one lives in Canada, we get reruns of Y&R or something random like the Gilmore Girls so that we don't get more than the usual 1-day ahead of the US.

It reminds me of how Victor took over Abby & Devon's wedding planning. "Fred" was staying in an RV down by the river when Phyllis stumbled upon him.

I was glad that Traci started wondering about Alan/Dead-Martin. And no, the blah-blah-blahing and try-hard boudoir scene did not do a thing for me. It is why I record the show so I can 4X FFwd through their boring scenes.

Are periwinkle blue business suits and lavender raincoats for men in vogue now? They are eye catching. Perhaps he couldn't decide which to wear, so wore all 3 pieces, even indoors.

I remember all 5 of them standing around someone's kitchen and Kody's & Robyn's eyes were sparking at each other. You could actually see their eyes light up with desire. The OG3 were quiet and pretending not to notice. It was clear that it had nothing to do with religion, just lust.

Sharon let Alan/Martin hypnotize her a couple of times to get her to remember what happened when Heather was killed and she was deemed innocent of murder. Martin may have questioned her about other aspects of her life when she was under.

Apparently their Cotswolds neighbours don't like the constant work being done at their house. They may find the regulations on upgrading historic homes are more stringent than in California.

Now she emotes being stunned all the time with her mouth in a gaping "O" and her eyes bugging out, usually while saying nothing, as if someone has just whacked her in the head with a 2x4. Her acting is better when she pretends to be sleeping.

Estelle reminds me of Estelle Getty from the Golden Girls.

Show cannot even afford an ambulance and EMT to assure us that people who have been poisoned and gased are OK to go home. We are just told that it happened.
