Whoa, that never occurred to me before now. I hope JG isn't pulling that sh!t. Substituting an AI-generated character for a real actor is like stealing money from all the actors who could've performed the role. (IMO, of course; I know mileage varies widely on the AI issue.) Probably because he doesn't see a problem with the way he looks. Apparently the guy in his mirror is the 1989 Danny from the Rock On music video. 🙄

Whee! I'd love to see Ashley's mean alter do that song. But sorry, Chaka Khan and her 1970s big hair says "Don't even try it.": And Whitney's ghost says, "Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan!"

Okay, I saw the list of the nominations released so far. I bet B&B will take both Best Actress and Best Actor. I'm less annoyed about the Y&R nominations now.

For what? Was it the storyline where Victor was pretending to lose his mental faculties?

Right? No one would even know or care who Christine was. Danny is nuts. And OMG, a mention of Travis Kelce and Danny Romalotti in the same sentence almost makes me dizzy. AFAIC, Travis is hotter than the surface of the sun and Danny is the dark side of Uranus.

Nate sorta taking Daniel's side against Lily. Bruh. Stay out of it. Connor's Dr. Hammond seemed fairly unflappable. Adam was working my last nerve with all his repeated questions and I wasn't even on the videocall. Phyllis, if only you could stop acting like a jealous middle school girl about Christine. Danny's aged rock star ego is eating it up, you moron. It didn't look to me like Connor was able to hold a pen properly so I'm not sure journaling about his feelings is going to be beneficial. 😐 Yes, Chelsea, Connor's problems are all your fault. Except for the ones that are Adam's fault. Do you feel special now? Gah, shut up you drama queen. A t-shirt? Christina should shelve her professional responsibilities so she can get Danny's stupid tour t-shirt? I CANNOT WITH THIS GUY. There it is. Adam is the type of parent who doesn't want his child to get therapy for fear it'll make the child dislike him and blame him for their problems. Poor Connor. Christine, don't coddle Danny. He'll likely be hopping on a different groupie in every town his tour stops in. Meanwhile, Danny, how can we miss you if YOU WON'T LEAVE? Go already! Guess Phyllis is over Harrison's kidnapping. And Chance seemed pretty unbothered too. Maybe Summer hasn't screamed "my son!" at him yet. 😉 Lily, you know you have a legal right to keep the OmegaSphere properties instead of giving them back to Daniel as lovely parting gifts. But you keep tripping up your legal argument by sounding vindictive. I'm trying to stay in your corner, hon, but you're making it way hard. I don't know about that PSA at the end with Adam, Connor, and Chelsea. Their part of this episode was mainly spent throwing the words "trauma" and "OCD" back and forth. IMO the show's concern about childhood mental health comes close to sounding like mockery.

Yeah and that DNA test is still questionable IMO. Tara and the medical tech (who came to the Abbott manse to get the blood samples from Tara and Harrison) were acting hella suspicious. I've long thought Tara paid the tech to alter the test results. Kyle had his DNA test done separately but odds are the med tech knew most of her cohorts in GC and could've gotten to them with Tara's bribe money. AFAIC, Harrison's real father, if it's not Ashland, is probably Theo or random guy behind door #3.

Heh, earlier in the week Phyllis was with Daniel at Society and her hair was bone straight. Then, later in the same episode, we saw her in the jazz lounge talking to Nick and her hair had been curled. So before Phyllis went down to the lounge did she stop by the GCAC salon and get her hair did, or did she go to her room and hit it with a curling wand? Inquiring minds...😼

Absolutely, especially since Harrison's biological mother isn't dead and to our knowledge has not relinquished her parental rights. I think this whole thing with Summer going hysterical over "my son" is part of the Emmy bait TPTB are creating for AL. None of it works if everyone isn't pretending Summer's actually Harrison's mommy. They've even got Victor propping the lie now. I've said it before and I'll say it eleventy zillion more times: they need to bring back Tara to settle the matter once and for all. If there was an issue with the actress who played Tara then recast the role. There are plenty of former soap actresses who I'm sure would be happy to step in, even for a short run.

I'd be surprised if that was the reason the role of Harrison was recast. TPTB probably realized they needed a young actor who could speak intelligibly in multiple sentences in a row. The previous little boy was cute but he wasn't bringing much to the table speaking-wise, IMO. Also, I went back and watched the Jordan and Harrison reveal a couple of times. The camera started on Harrison, then panned to Jordan, and then switched back over to show Harrison cowering. The characters were never in the frame at the same time and the camera work was smooth. The prevailing theory is that the Harrison parts and the Jordan part of that scene were filmed separately and the young actor likely never heard the awful words Jordan said. But even if he did hear them, he seems old enough to me to understand it's all pretend and he shouldn't take any of it personally.

They'd be snapchatting each other pictures of their wrinkled taints and comparing which women they've slept with.

It was morning and Nikki was already drunk. Sure hope she wasn't driving herself around in that state. Nick didn't find out about Harrison's kidnapping until the next day. Huh, seems to me the Newmans would've already told him so he could make sure Christian was safe. Meanwhile, was there not an Amber Alert issued for Harrison? So Victor went to the Abbott manse last night to talk to Jack but we didn't get to see it. Golly gee. Jack, maybe it's time to recommend Nikki go to rehab. Her keeping you at her beck and call as her AA sponsor isn't helping at all. She's using you and you're enabling her. It is kind of unbelievable that Phyllis knew nothing about Jordan. Those two probably would've had a psycho showdown by now and I'd have put my money on Red. Have we ever seen Diane in jeans before? Well, at least they weren't sparkly. 😏 Yes, Victoria, you were way overconfident in Claire's speedy, miraculous recovery from a lifetime of brainwashing by a psycho. This is all your fault. Swim in the guilt. Holey moley, Lauren's sparkly pencil skirt. And the five-inch spiked heels. Was she planning to go to work or turn some tricks at a hotel near the airport? 😼 Aren't the Abbott and Newman security teams stepping on the FBI's job by trying to trace calls and stuff? Meh, I'm not impressed and I bet the law enforcement authorities aren't either. Eh, Victor, why would Jordan agree to your deal? As soon as she hands over the kid she loses her leverage. You two are playing chicken with a child. Grrr.

Finally caught up with this season. I was okay with the ending but I wish CYE hadn't telegraphed so hard how much it was going to tie back to the Seinfeld ending. IMO LD should've just left the Seinfeld ending alone because there are still going to be people dissatisfied with it. I want to say I look forward to watching whatever LD does next but apparently he's decided to retire? At this point reality may have overtaken even the most sardonic comedy and even he's daunted. Bye, Curb Your Enthusiasm. It's been quite a ride.

Poor Abbotts. It doesn't pay to be connected to the Newmans when they've got the most wily supervillain ever after them. Summer's no makeup look was a lot. That usually means Emmy grab. She'll have to compete with Kyle's untied bow tie though. Diane wanted to accuse Ashley of being involved in Harrison's disappearance. Low blow, Diane. You better rein that emotion in. When Summer went to the ranch, Nikki had changed clothes again. Nik was on the fourth outfit for this 24-hour period. What's that all about? Victor had Jack's cell number in his contacts list. Surprising. First thing I'm gonna do when I win the billion dollar lottery is start having fresh flowers delivered every evening. So I can be fancy like the Abbotts. 😈 Wow, does Jordan hate Claire this much? At this point Claire's rebuilt reputation is hanging by a string and Summer's running around with a big 'ol pair of scissors. Pssht, how many times has Victor said he's going to get Jordan once and for all? Sure, Victor, look how scared she is. Jordan could've left the hemisphere by now but she's still coming at you and yours. I'm confused. Did Jordan intend to kidnap Harrison and Claire just happened to be there? I thought she went after Claire and Harrison became the new game plan by accident. Oy, stop trying to be complex and sh!t, JG. 😒 Summer should consult with her mommy on relating to the mind of a psycho. Jordan and Phyllis even have the same tastes in NoTell Motels, ha ha.

Yep, and there was also the time he poured her a glass of booze, pushed it at her, and told her to drink it. Victor is emotionally abusive and I don't know why anyone would consider him and Nikki "marriage goals." If Harrison keeps getting older and Claire keeps getting younger, eventually they'll be the same age and they can get married! Do it, JG! 😈😈😈

Velvet tuxedoes in the springtime. Ehhh, fashion don't. Sorry, Harrison, your daddy should've known better. NuHarrison talks, clearly and in multiple sentences. It's a whole new world! 🥳 One would think someone driving down the street in front of the GCAC would've noticed some weirdly-dressed old guy lurking in the shadows near the front door. And called 9-1-1. He could've been a mugger. Danny. Of course Christine wants to pursue her professional opportunities instead of following you around the world as your personal tour groupie/concubine. Stop lowkey trying to guilt her. 🤬 I think NuHarrison resembles the kid who was in Love, Actually back in 2003. Phyllis has decided to quit C-W in solidarity with Daniel and Heather. Oh boy, here comes trouble. So the Newmans' twu luv has cured Nikki of her alcoholism? Girl, bye. The pint of vodka in your clutch bag says nah. I think the lump thing at the top of Sally's sleeve was an oversized shoulder pad, circa 1930s or 1980s styles. Or maybe she borrowed it from one of the Green Bay Packers, tee hee. That was a rough story Claire told Kyle about her childhood with Jordan. But why was she looking at him like she wondered if he'd bought it? Harrison has an interesting bedroom. And by "interesting" I mean: Martha Stewart would plotz if she saw that decorating mess. FFS, how did Jordan get in the Abbott manse? Did she climb up one of the trellises or use the Batrope? Whoa, hope Danny put a hankie on the apartment's doorknob or Daniel will get an eyeful when he comes home. Why couldn't Danny take Chris to his bedroom? Other people have to sit on that couch, d-bag.

"The pains and penalties of perjury." Yikes, does the prosecutor actually say that? Yeah, PTSD doesn't give you license to murder people, especially if the victim had nothing to with how the PTSD was caused. I hate it every time L&O uses that plot device. The birth certificate stuff was some b.s. How do you not have rights to your own child simply because the surrogate beat you to the punch? Seems like motivation for the surrogate or the baby broker to commit murder, or at least put the biological parents out of commission so they can't sign the birth certificate. Not only no running after suspects in this one, no crime analysis detective combing through surveillance videos either. Funny how viewers can watch the same thing and see it almost 180° differently. There was this comment on reddit: I still can't look at Baxter without thinking of Fitz. Tony Goldwyn was interviewed on the Today show last week and they made him address that issue. He's unbothered by the comparisons, lol.

Seven unexcused absences is okay but eight is bad? How about more than three? Melissa slow-cooking ribs at work. Ehhh. A jelly bean belt. Why are they called that? Googling was not productive. Keep your mouth shut during Showcase Showdown! Creative problem-ignoring. Janine's replacement was an Ava clone. Of course. Poor Alex. He really needs someone to look out for him besides his grandma. She's not all there mentally and will likely get worse. And he should've been taught better than to run out into the street like he did. I just can't wrap my head around how it can be up to a kid whether or not they go to school.

Harrison was old enough when Tara went away for him still to remember her now. And apparently he does remember her and knows Summer is not his bio-mom. This thing Summer and Kyle are perpetuating wrt letting her act like she's his mother is IMO mostly for her benefit. Summer has no legal claim to Harrison and that's why I want Tara to come back and settle the issue once and for all. If she decides to relinquish her parental rights then, okay.

Cold open: guess this is why we didn't see the close encounters sketch last week. Like a broken doorbell, no dong. Poor Ryan was breaking so hard. Emily Blunt! Kenning is a verb now. (And isn't there going to be a Ken movie next? I don't know why Mattel would leave all that huge potential box office money on the table.) Chloe Troast could seriously have a career in country music, and Chris Stapleton has good comedy chops. That was a great fake music video. I love that they mentioned Eva Mendes. She's probably why Ryan can do a believable Cubano accent. Hey, it's (not) the original dog from Beethoven! Ryan cosplaying Beavis. Another role he might have been born to play, if someone ever does a live action Beavis & Butt-Head movie. Apparently Chloe Heidi wasn't ready for Butt-Head. Ryan breaking again. I was getting old school Eagles vibes from Chris Stapleton's first musical performance. Liked the song a lot. WU: A forks joke about Japan. Yawn. Speaker Johnson's sore jaw. Dang, SNL. Pretty sure the men's deliberate incompetence thing was on reddit last week. Instead of mentioning Kevin Spacey, Colin should've brought up his own wife. Scarlett famously declared she could play whatever race she wanted, after she was criticized for her starring role as a Japanese anime-based character. Caitlin Clark! Yeah! Why was Bowen's surgeon character wearing a white trenchcoat? Ryan breaking AGAIN and trying to make Bowen break too. Is Chris Stapleton considered a standard country artist? He seems more country-rock to me The point of the Erin Brokovich movie unused scene sketch went over my head. Sign off: Ryan remembered to thank everybody (except Lorne?) and he had unbelievable Kenergy. He can come back to host again.

That's what I thought too. Maybe Claire got her tattoo when she went away to college. It looked kind of faded though so IRL the actress has probably had it longer than what would make sense for Claire. And it was actually worse. If you look at her photo on Worn on TV you can clearly make out her perky nips. So, either she wasn't wearing a bra or she was wearing a thin, sheer one. Lauren, hon, ain't nobody trying to see that, at least not on a woman your age. Say it louder so the people in the back can hear! I just rolled my eyes when Kyle said he only came to the party because Harrison wanted to. What sensible adult is inviting a child to a nighttime party in a nightclub? Sigh, the sparkly dress fad will never go away. Especially since the Y&R wardrobe people seem to buy dresses from a season or three back. Yes, I was surprised to see her in that dress. I actually thought she had worn it before but I guess not. Still though, I can appreciate how Diane has found a style which works well for her and she sticks with it. There seems to have been a noticeable downgrade in the quality of Diane's wardrobe, however, in recent months. Wow, I would've never guessed! The ring looked tacky and cheap to me, like what someone would wear if they were trying too hard to look fancy. Yep, when he moved to Los Angeles to write his book he became a cokehead. I'd put money on it. 😼 Well, I'm sure he makes up for it in other ways. Chance probably has great rhythm in certain horizontal positions, if my drift is caught. 😉

It'd be relatively easy to fake a single job reference but with a major international company like NE, Claire likely would've had to provide more than one. And lying about her education would be a whole 'nother level of risk. NE's HR department wouldn't have just called a phone number Claire put on her resume, they likely already have direct contacts at all the major universities and colleges across the country. Plus, they would've gotten a copy of her undergrad and graduate transcripts, and/or asked to see her diplomas. Claire's job qualifications ruse would've been easily busted unless Nikki received resumes herself without them being vetted first. Re today's big party in the jazz lounge, I sure wish Tucker had crashed it. He could've delivered the snarkiest toast ever to Nikki and Victor. But, for some unknown reason Tucker hasn't been allowed to get anywhere near most of the Newmans.

Gah this show is so cheap now. There was a time when events like a 40th anniversary would've been held at the Top of the Tower or the Colonnade Room, not a tiny lounge. Hey, it's SORASed Harrison! And he doesn't look like an Upper Midwestern surfer boy! They could stand to ease up on his hairstyle though. I thought he looked like he was running for GC Road Sign Commissioner or something. Summer giving Claire the stinkeye as soon as she saw her. Brrr. I liked Diane's dress. She seems to be fond of purple lately. Nikki definitely looked like the aging society matron she is. Upswept 'do, royal blue gown. Not a fan of the ruby ring though. AFAIC the wardrobe people are batting 0 for 2 on the ring front lately. Sally's dress was fab, I thought. Good color for her. Abby's gown, meh. Pastel color as usual. Speaking of Abby, I'm surprised she was even invited since both the Newmans and Abbotts seem to forget she exists, ha ha. Wonder if she knows her mommy is in the mental hospital now? Claire has an interesting back tattoo. Ew, Lauren no. Looked like something built a nest on your head. I did like her earrings though. Listen to Cole, Victoria. You really don't want to try to step to Summer over the way she acts toward Claire. Summer will go mama bear all over your bony a$$. Abby is also a 2nd generation Newman. Seems to me she should've stood up there to make her toast with Adam, Victoria, and Nick. Was it me or did that one security guard in the jazz lounge sort of resemble OJ Simpson? Accidental timeliness. Victor told Adam he would take care of things with Connor. What's he gonna do, buy the treatment center and have it moved to GC? Geez, stay out of it, Victor. Whoa, Summer curved Claire HARD! I felt that humiliation through the TV screen. 😱 So if it wasn't quite past Harrison's bedtime, why wasn't Christian at the party too? Re the previews: I'd put my money on Jordan taking Harrison but I wonder how she can sneak into the Abbott house without being noticed?

OMG, I cannot breathe. I love this so much I want to buy it a villa in Tuscany. A) Jack is a simp. B) that's why I stick with Samsung. 😉

Absolutely. This storyline has Emmy bait written all over it. But MTS is probably also going to be nominated for Nikki's alcoholism vs. Jordan thing. ED and MTS may cancel each other out with the voters. (Plus, I'm reading how a couple of actresses over on B&B will likely be strong contenders as well.) Right? This thing with Victoria, Cole, and Neil has been one of the weirdest retcons I've seen in a while. The way they've roped Neil's corpse into it is almost creepy to me. So is Victoria going to tell Claire that Lily, Devon, and Moses were almost her stepsiblings? Claire almost had a share of Hamilton/Winters in addition to being a Newman heir? It's ridiculous, JG!
