Mamie's behavior has become so focused & intense & toxic, to the point of being really strange, & more importantly, extremely distracting to the good of the company. If she were my elder relative, I'd be worried if other issues are going on with her, such as Dementia or Alzheimer's.
That seems to be the most common theory among the soap forums. Looks like every key Y&R family is going to have some kind of mental illness to deal with.
9 hours ago, ScoobieDoobs said:Devon had such an odd look on his mug at the meeting, like he was almost laughing at Mamie's ranting.
Again, mileage varies because that wasn't what I saw at all. Devon seemed genuinely puzzled by Mamie's behavior to me. Since he's not actually biologically related to her I think he feels less automatic deference to her than Lily and Nate do. Maybe he'll be the one who figures out Mamie (perhaps) has a medical issue.

Zuleyka Silver (Audra) is engaged. She announced it on her social media.
Per SOD: Y&R's Zuleyka Silver Sparks Engagement Buzz with Bling
Bling indeed. Check out her ring:
I think Zuleyka's real fiance did way better at picking a ring than Audra's wannabe fiance on Y&R did, lol. Congratulations to the happy couple!

More musings from today's Y&R:
Wonder if Summer has some crow left over from that plate of it she had to eat because of Claire? Looks like Abby's going to get served too when she finds out what Tucker opted not tell her about her mommy.
This cutesy push me-pull you thing Audra and Nate have going on has gotten tiresome to me. Hey you two, poop or get off the pot!
Ehh, a black pleather skirt in the springtime. Fashion don't, Audra. Not even in the Upper Midwest.
Meanwhile, I liked Belle's blouse. She dresses better than Ashley, IMO.

Devon especially should know that kids can't have too many loving adults in their lives. I assume his attitude is about punishing Tucker because he can?
I hope this is leading somewhere meaningful, like Dominic needing a bone marrow transplant and Tucker turning out to be the only match. Or even Devon himself in needing it.

Nate. You're sounding a little jealous with your repeated ragging on Tucker.
Shut up, Abby. You don't even know half of what's been going on with your dastardly daddy, much less Devon's.
Mamie. Why are you still in GC? Write in pencil and show your work.
Lol, Tucker making Abby look like an idiot with one hand tied behind his back. I have to wonder if he brought up Ashley's recent troubles innocently or if he meant to make a delayed point.
Okay, it was Belle talking to Alan. The CC said "Ashley" but the inner voice was Belle's. 🥴🥴🥴
Everyone has to drop whatever they're doing to entertain Mamie's continuing delusions about the Winters clan snatching C/W. Self-important much?
Mamie, for the eleventy-eth time, Devon is only a Chancellor by marriage, just like Jill. He's not entitled to take what Jill owns just because you're still holding a grudge against her.
Devon delivered the real talk to Mamie. Lily and Malcolm handed him the scalpel and he went in with surgical precision. Loved it!!!!!
And then Mamie started sh!t-talking her 3rd-generation kinfolk to their faces because they dared to tell her about herself. Hey, Auntie M, where was the lie, tho?
Another boudoir scene between Audra and Tucker. YAWN!
Whatever, Mamie. Get to stepping. Git. Ta. Steppin. 😡👿

Just because one has made a sh!tpile of money does not mean one has any intelligence, skill or experience in everything else. Looking at you, Viktor.
Yep. The main ability Victor seems to have is making money. Has he changed the world with anything like Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, or Google? No. I think he's mostly bought other companies which do what the real giants do except on a smaller scale. NE is a hodgepodge of other people's actual work.

With Nikki out of commission, Claire can probably do her job; she seemed to pick up on things quickly and did things before Nikki even asked.
Heh, including stabbing Nikki in the neck with a hypodermic full of knock out juice. Nikki didn't even have a chance to ask for that. 😈
Seriously though, if Claire actually does have an MBA from Wharton then she's probably more qualified than any of the Newmans to run one of the divisions. The show seems to have turned away from that part of her backstory for some unknown reason.

Agreed that it seems crazy to me that anyone would suggest that Claire, daughter of Victoria who has at least hundreds of millions to her name thanks to her sister, should work as a nanny. "Hey, you seem like you have no qualifications and you have nothing to do, why don't you get paid 20 bucks an hour to take care of some kid, because it will create drama with his fake mom and we need more of that,"
For some reason it struck me that the late Diana Spencer had jobs as a governess and nanny before she got engaged to Prince Charles. There were several photos published of a teenaged her looking after kids. Maybe someone at Y&R is nodding to her memory with Claire? As if most people would even think of Diana's less royal roots now. Yeah, it's a stretch...

That was my reaction! Who is daring to bring outside coffee and pastries into the place where Mrs. Martinez rules the kitchen? Looks like the dope is already affecting Jack's brain.

a bit of information from my Firefighter/EMT son: EMT would never leave an unconcious person who did not respond to Narcan. There may be other problems (aneurysm, stroke, diabetes) that are also present and should be evaluated in a hospital. The person (not a drunken cohort) would also have to be awake and aware to refuse to be taken to the hospital.
Thank you for posting this. Now I feel like it was irresponsible for the show to stage that scene the way they did. What did it accomplish besides providing a day player a paycheck?

More musings on today's Y&R:
Sally and Adam were wearing complementary colors. Hmm.
Their son is having the mental struggle of his life and all Chelsea and Adam could do is continue whining about how much they're suffering because of it. Jeebus cripes.
Ugh, miss me with Jordan's Emmy bait monologues and histrionics. AFAIC she's way past ready for her close-up, Mr. DeMille.
Lol, wonder if Billy had a flash of déjà vu when he walked into Adam's apartment and caught the unmistakable whiff of eau de sex. Plus it was pretty clear what had been going on on that couch. 🤠
Jack, your apologies to Diane were weak. You should just pull up some classic Chicago on your phone and stream it to the Abbott manse's stereo system.

So after Diane ripped him a new one at home, Jack decided to go grab some refreshments at the coffeehouse. Priorities. He haz dem.
Wait, who was it that sat down to breakfast with Alan? The CC said it was Ashley but I thought she looked like Belle and was acting more assertively like Ms. Abbott. Are the alters working together? 🤔
Victor assured Claire she could have whatever she needs:
Claire: well, Grandpa, a high two-digit number followed by six zeroes and preceded by a dollar sign sounds good. For starters.
Victor: is that number with or without a decimal point?
Claire: without, you silly old bear. Loose change is for poor people.
Cole: that's my girl!Couch sex. Ew, no, Sally and Adam. Not hot! 🤮🤮🤮
No, Victoria! Claire is a Newman heiress now. It would make zero sense for her to be a nanny, especially to an Abbott child. Noooo!!!!
Poor Alan wasn't ready to be dealing with this tougher version of Ashley who seems to be extra good at dissembling. She strutted away and left him in a daze.
TMW your baby mama/ex-wife's daddy grills you on your intentions toward his grown-a$$ daughter.
Jordan imagining spiders crawling all over her. Was she suffering from the DTs? I thought only severe alcoholics got those when they try to quit cold turkey.
Cole might be the one to figure out his Aunt Jordan isn't dead. Will he wander down to the wine cellar jail? Go, Cole, go!

According to Wikipedia and his bio at SoapCentral,Victor Newman's birthday
is todaywas two months ago, March 7.Newman family party time at the jazz lounge, or will they completely ignore it since Nikki is away at rehab?On March 7, Victor was sitting with Victoria in her car watching her house burn down courtesy of Jordan. No fun.
ETA: really have to stop posting before I've had my coffee.

I have long wished that the producers carried through with what seemed inevitable at one point in time... that Summer is actually Jack's kid and not Nick's. I suppose now that Kyle and Summer were married that it's never going to happen because that would be too crazy even for this show.
The way it might could sorta work is if Kyle first found out he wasn't Jack's son. Say his father is random sperm donor #74368942 because of even more mixups at the storage bank. Then if it turned out Jack really is Summer's daddy despite all the DNA test shenanigans, it wouldn't be so problematic.

Meanwhile, Victor sits ensconced in his upholstered potty chair watching Jordan overact. Much more of this and
Upholstered potty chair. Now there's a visual. 😵 It would only be worse if it were made of suede instead of leather.
49 minutes ago, ScoobieDoobs said:So he just wants to sit across from her & taunt her? And what's he accomplishing with this?
At this point I think Victor is planning to keep to himself out of legal trouble. If he turns Jordan over to the authorities she'll tell them he's kidnapped and held her hostage twice. She may be looking at a permanent stay in prison for murder, attempted murder, and kidnapping but Victor would also be charged for his crimes.

Phyllis wore this today:
Phyllis wore this in January 2023:
According to Worn on TV, both are from the same designer and the main difference is the older one is velvet. I'm at a loss to understand what's so fabulous about this dress that Y&R's wardrobe people needed to buy two of them.

Show...Lily is single. Has Elena been sucked into a volcano? Her character can seem a bit dull (therefore the romance with Devon) but she can be a vibrant actress. Sometimes it seems that half the cast has become day players.
It's odd how long-time characters now seem like they just pop in randomly. Elena's not a vet but she's shown she can hold her own with them. I wouldn't mind seeing her with Chance. Meanwhile, Lily's headed back to Billy I suspect, though it may be a ruse on his part.
45 minutes ago, pvandal said:Those scenes with Diane were great.
Yes, the actress brought her A game today. You could feel Diane's growing anger and horror as Jack told her bit by bit what he did. Brava!

More musings on today's Y&R:
l wonder how Jack managed to get out of the GCAC without the press swarming him? One of the elites of GC having the EMTs called for them should've been breaking news.
Who's running NE right now? Nikki's at rehab; Victor is tending to his secret prisoner in the cellar jail; Nick is running around shooting the breeze with his ex-wives; and, Victoria is probably at the Tack House coddling Claire.
Phyllis keeps saying over and over how she wish she could've taken that bish Jordan down. Me too, Red. Then maybe she'd be dead and you'd be in prison.
Why was it even up to Summer to find a therapist for Harrison? Seems to me that would be Kyle's responsibility as, ya know, Harrison's actual, legal parent.
Diane was right, the opioids Jack took could've been laced with fentanyl. Or rat poison. Gah Jack is so stupid!

Sharon! <was sitting on my hands so hard a few of my fingers almost broke>
Blah, blah, blah, Jack. Sacrificing yourself to your own addiction to "save" Nikki was utter b.s. insanity. How are you so stupid? How!!!!????
Sharon was the professional Summer consulted about Harrison's possible PTSD. 🙄 At least Sharon referred Summer to someone with more apt treatment skills.
Summer compared her parenting of Harrison to Phyllis and Nick's parenting of her when she was a kid. Good grief. Are we supposed to be seeing Summer as mentally ill too?
On my Monday Y&R What the Fcukery bingo card, I did not have Nick of all people propping Jack's absurd actions wrt getting Nikki to stop drinking. 😱
Phyllis brought up the peanut butter kiss that almost killed Summer as a child. Interesting nod to history. Not sure I'd compare it to Harrison's kidnapping though. Jordan wasn't trying to kill him.
There it is. Summer demanded Claire not be allowed around Harrison. Not gonna disagree but I don't think that's Summer's call.
Summer said she wants to banish Claire from her whole life. Good luck with that, Summer. GC is a small town when it comes to Newmans. You'll have to avoid pretty much all of them, especially your Aunt Vikki.
Ehhh, Jordan will need more than one bottle of booze to drink herself to death, Victor. Just sayin', there are better ways to accomplish the goal.

Can Shemar Moore save Y&R? I don't think one man or one character can save this show right now. Sadly.
No but he might bring more eyeballs back to the show, and better ratings might lead to a better budget. The return of Malcolm would also likely be much more pleasant than Jordan's endless reign of terror. (I'd be curious to know how much CZ's presence has influenced former ATWT viewers to start watching Y&R.)
1 hour ago, Denize said:He'd be more believable than Victor rescuing damsels in distress on the side, and might be able to snap Ashley out of her delusions.
Were Ashley and Malcolm friends like that? I only recall him and Phyllis getting up close and real personal. That'd be my main fear about Malcolm's return: he'd have another fling with Phyllis. She doesn't seem to be finding anything (or anyone) else better to do.

My favorite comment from reddit:
QuoteThey just have a very set formula that isn't working.
Dead rich person main characters know/recognize
First Suspect is a non-starter.
Second Suspect is a red herring.
Third Suspect is background person from the beginning of the episode.
CHASE DA SUSPECT!!!
Arrest suspect and have evidence for a solid conviction
Evidence is thrown out, miraculously, *every single fucking time*
Maroun sympathizes with the defendant and understands why they decided *murder* was good idea.
Price says they have a strong case without the dead to rights evidence.
Witness shenanigans
Judge seems biased to the defense 90% of the time
Prosecution somehow wins given the mountain they have to scale *every single time*This show could easily be written by AI based on the formula.

Another crime involving a nepo baby. Oh boy. 🙄
"Cement in time sky diamonds." Is that really a thing?
A foot chase after a potential perp inside a crowded club. Really?
After the detectives talked to Ravi Singh and the victim's father, my money was on the mother as the true perp. Oops.
Did we know before now Dixon's son was deaf?
The defense attorney was a familiar face. Alicia
SilverstoneCoppola is quite the Hollywood veteran.Again with the tossing out of key evidence before the trial even begins.
Had Dixon been overly sympathetic to the perp because his daughter was deaf like her son? It seemed to me kind of unusual for a police lieutenant to get so deeply, emotionally involved in a case.
QuoteI was so sure it would turn out the daughter fired the gun. Just me, or were we supposed to wonder?
Yes, I thought that too, and it would turn out the defendant was covering for her. Risky move though.
Re Hugh Dancy's American accent, it's fine for me but the thing he does with his mouth is distracting sometimes. Maybe his wife could help him work on it, lol. She probably gave Damien Lewis some tips when they were on Homeland.

Ava And her Reading Bitches. I would join that book group.
I didn't find Parable of the Sower a book you could hurry through. But apparently Barbara had already made up her mind what it was about so it didn't matter.
Melissa thinks she would thrive in a dystopia. Of course she would. In her worldview, she who has the most weapons wins.
Not sure I liked Gregory's date Olivia. She didn't deserve way he treated her though.
Janine & Manny!!!!! If only. I think they'd make a cute couple.
A freak'um dress. A date beard.
Tipsy, jealous Gregory. Bet the bar had a hard time scraping his face up off the floor after it closed.
Bend the knee and kiss the wings. Game of Thrones, meet Abbott Elementary.
Yep, Gregory is hella messy. And now Janine has his number. YOUR MOVE, GREG!

SNL actually found a humorous way to address the college campus protests. All I know is Alexis Vanessa Roberts better mind her business while her daddy's paying her $68k tuition.
Dang, Yung Spicy! You nasty!
Dua has some passable acting skills, or at least the ability to play straightwoman to an Anomalous Man. His thirsty texts were insane. This sketch had unusally good production values.
Please tell me Wayne Brady hasn't weighed in on the Kendrick vs Drake battle. As if.
Sonny Angels with those tiny scrotums. Why is this thing? The tenuous reference to Zendaya's new film was pointless unless those dolls are in the movie.
If I've ever eaten Penne alla Vodka I'm confident I never will again. Ugh.
Dua: y'all say I'm a bad dancer? Hold my beer. She's trolling the world, right?
WU:
That Noem joke took a dark turn at the end with the mention of Pence.
Good doggie, Cricket #7!
Please tell me Jojo Siwa doesn't really have face tattoos now.
It'll be too soon for Cosby jokes forever.
Jerry Seinfeld out here looking desperate. Bet non-billionaire, non-whiny Ryan Gosling had good laugh.A fake OB/GYN wanting to eat a newborn baby. Who thinks of this stuff? Punkie coming in already breaking didn't help.
Wonder if Seinfeld tried to hit on Dua? Nah, there might not be enough of an age difference for him. 😈
I liked the 2nd song Dua did. I don't think I've heard it on the radio yet.
In that Met gala sketch, was Dua imitating Kim K? If so, she didn't have the vocal fry down.
The phone number jingle bit generally seems like a waste of time to me without Justin Timberlake. Dua's accent sounded like she was channeling Lady Gaga in the movie about the original Gucci family.
Troye Sivan. How old is he, 14? Dua didn't seem to pay much attention to him or Jerry in the signoff. Where were most of the cast?
Okay, Dua was game, had decent comedy chops and energy, and she dealt well with the cue cards. She can host again the next time she has an album to promote.

I'm calling it - Drinkki stumbles across Jordan in the basement cage and sets her free.
Why? Because that would not be good story and it's something no one wants to see.
What I don't understand is what Victor's plan is to keep anyone from going down to the wine cellar and discovering the jail cell. They could have a perfectly innocent desire to retrieve a bottle of one Victor's rare vintages while he isn't home. Is the door to the cellar locked and only Victor can open it?
Whatever, if Nikki does find Jordan I doubt she'll release her since calling 9-1-1 for Jordan turned out to be a huge mistake. I think Nikki would just use it as another excuse to get blackout drunk. MTS is great at it portraying Nikki at her worst but after the dedicated episode last week, I think it's starting to get tiresome.

Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat
in The Young And The Restless
Chancellor Park! Long time no see.
It's a rough day when I have to agree with Victor. Jack's whole argument was that he may juggled a lit firecracker but hey, it didn't explode in his face so no harm, no foul. Flipping idiot.
And then dummkopf Kyle parroted Jack's defensive "it's all good now" position. Yoda says, "The
forcestupidity is strong with this one."Phyllis defending Claire to Summer was also goofy IMO. At best I would've expected her to remain non-committal. At worst she would've supported Summer's view that Claire is permanently suspect.
Summer, your continuing to call Harrison YOUR son makes ME sick. Shut. Up!
Uh, oh, Kyle's gonna be in big trouble with Summer. She'll probably ban Harrison from going to Chancellor Park now since Claire might be there.
Sure, Vikki, Claire is family. So is Adam. What's this "can't we all just get along stuff"? Hypocrisy, thy name is Victoria Newman.
Be careful what you wish for, Jordan. The fact that Victor hasn't killed you likely means he has something worse in store.
