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.

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 today was 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.

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.

Upholstered potty chair. Now there's a visual. 😵 It would only be worse if it were made of suede instead of leather. 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.

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. 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.

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.) 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: 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 Silverstone Coppola 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. 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.

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.

Yeah the 5/3 episode was good but I noted how the young Asian guy was doing 99% of the physical stuff while Shemar's character was mainly just stomping around waving his weapons. If the show keeps that up it'll become painfully obvious Shemar is (IMO) past his expiration date with heavy action roles. I'll be curious to see what he does next if he doesn't return to soaps.

I watch S.W.A.T. and IMO that show is running on vapors. Shemar is not really able to do much of the physical stuff anymore. My theory is that CBS uncancelled the show for another season to hold onto him while they're revving up their new soap opera. There are a lot of fan fingers crossed that Shemar will be on the new soap at least on a recurring basis and perhaps not as Malcolm Winters.

Miracles happen. Victoria was not supposed to be able to have more kids yet she ended up giving birth to Katie. And even guys who've had vasectomies sometimes have a random swimmer break free, though the odds of it happening at pretty small.

Say it louder so the people in the back can hear! Alas, with Claire's return it appears that Summer is going to double- if not triple-down on her "my son" nonsense. I won't stop hoping Tara will come back and reclaim possession of her child, but now I'm wishing Summer gets pregnant by Chance. Maybe once she has her own kid she'll quit trying to own someone else's.

IKR? Ashley and others have let themselves into Tucker's room more than once. It didn't appear to matter whether they were also guests of the hotel or not. Seems like a huge potential liability to the hotel to me. Whatever, Victor probably threatened to buy the joint and fire all the front desk people if they didn't hand over the key. Or, that was the NE corporate suite (e.g., where Victoria and Nate used to have their trysts). Then all the Newmans can get the key whenever they want.

More musings on today's Y&R: I thought Claire had some huge stones, showing up unannounced at the Abbott manse after what they just went through with Harrison's kidnapping. She had to cover her bases with Kyle quickly, I guess. Claire and her doe eyes were giving me the ick. Kyle's an all-day sucker for them though. 👽 Harrison is not going to forget anything. At best he'll merely stop talking about the kidnapping and at worse he'll repress his scary memories in unhealthy ways. Odd that the EMTs left Jack there in the hotel room unconscious instead of taking him to the hospital. I sure wish Tucker would've been walking down the hall and seen the mess going on in Nikki's room. Oh well, he'll have to settle for reading about it on the GCAC's subreddit.

So frigging stupid, Jack. You risked killing yourself to get Nikki to stop drinking. WTAF. Buh buh buh busted, Nikki! Hope getting bombed out your mind was worth the wrath of Victor. See what your secrets and lies have wrought, Victor? Now wait until Nikki finds out Jordan isn't actually dead. How that crow taste, Summer? You probably had to pull your whole foot out of your mouth before you could eat it. Kyle, what's next for Claire is her dedicating herself to coming at you and your son to create her own instant family. Buy a clue. Whoa, Victor basically wished Jack dead. Jack better pray this incident doesn't reignite his and Victor's old feud. O hai Marco Annicelli. Yeah, no, Claire, I wouldn't be letting you anywhere near Harrison. If he needs to talk things out, his family can get him professional help. Stop trying to glom onto a innocent child. And now Summer has an excuse to turn her "my son" obsession up to 11. Tara, where are you???!!! Re the previews: Jack's gonna need a vat of aloe when Diane gets through burning his hide. Let's go!

Not sure what their age had to do with it. Rhetorical questions: would the episode have been better if it had been Summer and Chance? Heather and Daniel? Lily and Devon? Claire and Kyle? Aria and Harrison? At least Jordan didn't show up disguised as a housekeeper.
