Denize

A decade or so ago Lauren (Tracey Bregman) had a bad Botox reaction and wore her hair plastered down over half her face for about 3 months until her droopy eye recovered. That may have persuaded her to have only minimal work done by the best professionals.

Meri looks good & happy, and Michelle posted it, so probably no Meri filters.

Meghan probably considers her hell-to-pay post as "telling the senators"; I doubt any of them would take her calls.

They look more like cow eyes to me. Casting did a good job of matching Jordan's, Cole's & Claire's big round eyes and the tendancy to open them even bigger to accentuate their words. I thought Claire's resume when she first worked with Nikki said she went to Wharton School of Business (also Ivy League). I wonder what parts (if any) of her educational background are true. Victor changes heirs to the throne on a whim and has stepped back in and out himself more times than I can count. None of the kids or grandkids can count on employment for life. One year there were 3-4 changes in CEO, including Neil; I always wonder what shareholders think. And we haven't seen one of their Board meetings, usually with two non-Newman strangers on it, in several years!

Christine did say she bought this second income property without David's input. She said this partly while blabbing & unpacking at the property and partly in their shared home office. I do wonder if she has costed out all the expenses to determine the net profit rather than getting starry eyed about the potential income. Moab is 3.5 hrs away from SLC, so she must need a management company to check the place in between bookings and deal with repairs.

That's the way I remember it too, from her first or second visit to Nate's livingroom soon after Amy arrived in GC on October 29th.

Do we even know that Amy is really ill? After watching her tell Nate for months that she didn't need another opinion or to see hot shot doctors or to let him or Audra take her to appointments, I started fastforwarding through most of her blah blah blahing. Anyone can buy a bad wig and say they have cancer. RealDamien mentioned that she'd played the woe-is-me card many times in the past (and Nate & Audra didn't ask her about it). I also suspect that Damien gets his money from a life of crime, not as an upstanding businessman, based on his shady behaviour.

Temptations treats for cat owners would probably draw more interest.

Do Summer, Daniel & Phyllis just go from breakfast at GCAC, lunch and all coffee breaks at Crimson Lights, and dinner at Society all day every day? It is boring to watch and must be even more boring to play them on TV!

There is the hotel Mariah was trapped in when pregnant, and another grubby hotel that Ronan hid in, with two-tone green walls like the GC prison that Victor & others have been incarcerated in. Or perhaps Adam can remove The Cask of Amontillado wall he and Michael erected brick by brick around the jail cell in the basement of Victor's, now Adam's, house. After so many escapes, you cannot trust the GCPD or your crack security team to keep your family safe! Now would be a good time to order some brussels sprout seeds to get some seedlings ready to plant in the Spring.

It must be a full-time job just dusting all of the dolls & their intricate clothes and all the geodes, statues, teacups, Dickens Christmas characters, Legos, pitcher frames, etc. Is that part of the nanny's job? No wonder Robyn needed a bigger house, the last one was overflowing with junk!

For someone who says she will be dying in days ... or months, Amy sure has lots of strength & stamina to stand up unaided during her long conversation with realDamien, who has more wrinkles than she does.

I think NinjaPenguins was saying RealDamian could be Phyllis' new love interest. The height difference would be like Nicole & Tom Cruise. Audra seems to find FakeDamian sexy & intriguing.

Why does every episode lately have at least one person telling their entire boring backstory lately? Is Show spending all their money on sets rather than directing some sort of action besides sitting & talking and standing & talking?

We need someone like Connor to ask Johnny what kinds of Communications his Dad's new company will actually be doing and how they will compete with Chancellor's & Newman's Communications. Hopefully he has more insight than vague platitudes.
