Well there's the problem. This cheap show is probably trying to avoid hiring a day player to portray a judge, and build a short term set for his chambers. Unless the trial is going to be in Neil's jazz lounge, there likely won't be one. So Christine and Heather's conversation was the substitute for courtroom scenes. Meh. Right? I know Chance is supposed to be in his mid-30s but the actor hasn't reached 30 yet and IMO looks it, even with the facial hair. Add in how freaking fine he is and the Sharon & Chance math ain't mathing for me. Yep, Chance should be fighting women off everywhere he goes. Grocery store? Women coming at him. Gas station? Women coming at him. The library? Women coming at him. The car wash? Women coming at him. At best I think Sharon should've been a mercy fcuk for Chance, not the start of some hot fling. Yuck. (And what's up with Sharon's all-white outfits two days in a row?)

The endless day continues. Sigh. Poor stupid Summer. She actually thought Phyllis being arrested would fix everything with Kyle so she teleported herself right over to the Abbott manse to tell him. You silly girl. Kyle couldn't care less about your jailbird mommy. Christine and Heather are friends and former in-laws. However, is it normal for a DA to discuss an active case with the defense attorney over wine and dinner? Seems to me such meetings would mainly be to the defense attorney's advantage. I liked the song playing when Audra and Kyle started going at it in her hotel suite. The singer was doing a great imitation of soulful songstress, H.E.R. Heather realizes on some level that EMT Carson is lying, right? At least Daniel is questioning the story but push come to shove I bet he won't rat out his mommy. Diane said Jack was in New York on a business trip. What? He just had a meeting with Diane and Billy at his office. Does the Jabot jet have warp drive technology like on Star Trek? FFS, JG, the audience knows it's still the same day. You're causing these loose plot line strings yourself. Christine, stop discussing your questions about Phyllis' crimes with Heather! It's not her job to help you prosecute her client. Heather has to put doubts in your mind and undermine your case. Lol, Audra is the queen of messiness. But Nate didn't seem fazed at all to see new NM COO Kyle sliding out of her suite. Game recognize game. A mention of Lola! I amost wish she'd show up to bust Kyle but I'm sure Y&R is way, way, way in Sasha Calle's rear view. Kyle didn't take a shower before he left Audra's room and Summer caught a whiff. HA HA HA HA HA! You nasty, Bouffant Boy, but kudos on accidentally giving Summer a clue. 🥳🥳🥳 How much do I not feel sorry for Summer's amazing sense of smell? THIS MUCH!!!! The karma bus ran over her, backed up, and ran over her again, and Audra was in the front seat. Whee!

At one time I think the captioning service was using the actual script because you could tell when an actor was ad-libbing their dialogue. I believe a lot of that work was outsourced to places like India where people speak English but perhaps they're not fully versed on American English. Lately I've been wondering if it is AI, or at least some kind of voice-to-text software. Seems to me AI would've been trained on basic grammar though, as well as stuff like homonyms where it would need to use the right written word in the given context. Maybe TPTB assume not a lot of people actually read the closed captioning but I always do.

Gee, Victor, maybe if you treated your kids like human beings instead of chess pieces they wouldn't be running amok and stabbing each other in the back. Just sayin'. Dear TPTB, who gave you the idea we wanted to see Nate's shiny, hairless, puffy chest every darn week? Stop listening to those fools! Now, Victoria? Now you want the define the relationship with Nate? The time for a DTR conversation was way back when you first started screwing him on your office furniture. More in the closed captioning follies today: when Victor said he'd given his children too much rein, the CC read "reign." I know that's a somewhat common mistake but come on, does no one proofread the captions beforehand? What was going on with Nick's hair? Yikes, it looked like the same unfortunate coif Noah had the last time he was seen in GC. IMO, their barber might want to seek another profession. Hmm, I didn't know a Black Eye was the name of an expresso drink. For a second I was afraid Chance was into some S&M stuff. Not trying to kink shame but AFAIC he needs to avoid damaging his beautiful face. Blissed out, slightly tipsy Tucker. Aw yiss, pour it directly into my veins, baby! Sorry but Chance stepping into a sudden passionate clinch with Sharon didn't ring true to me. Since when is arresting Phyllis an aphrodisiac? He was practically giddy about it. 🤮🤮🤮 Well at least during Victor's throw down with his corporate brats, Nate was polite enough not to manspread. Unlike two of the other wannabe macho men in the room. KMN. Somewhere Rey's corpse must've been spinning like protons in the Large Hadron Collider. Oy, his widow and his ex-partner doing the horizontal mambo. At least they waited more than a respectable amount of time after his death I guess. So Victoria and Nate actually got rewarded for their bad behavior. Only Nick and Adam were expected by Victor to suck it up. Why is TGVN so scared of pulling Victoria over to the curb? Lol, I can't wait until Tucker mutters something lowkey snarky to Kyle about Audra. He knows Kyle is a joke and isn't afraid to say it.

Speaking of lip-locking with Sharon, why does she do that weird thing with her mouth? I haven't watched today's show yet but I caught the final moment with her and Adam. She looked to me like a blow-up doll: Sharon must have a hard time keeping bugs and small birds from flying into her gaping maw.😼

Human Spock's hair needed some work. WTF indeed. Human Spock was hangry. Good thing there was bacon, bacon, bacon! Num, num, num, num, num! Messy Sam Kirk did not want that Human Spock smoke. Yeah, T'Pring's mother was a straight up C U Next Tuesday. She must get exhausted from having to cast so much negative energy. Snooze, lose, Human Spock. But then Nurse Chapel sacrificed her feelings for you AGAIN.. Ethan Peck displayed great acting chops but I think Anson Mount owned this episode. Pike was killing it with his non-verbal reactions. This was the ST:SNW rom-com I didn't know I needed.

The writers and actors strikes are still not a premise for TPTB to stop producing present day episodes in favor of showing historical ones. Not unless TPTB deliberately choose to use the strikes as excuses and so far they haven't seemed inclined to do that. It appears they're occasionally showing classical episodes on certain US national holidays, and/or to honor legacy characters.

Hmmm, I think a Phyllis & Tucker pairing would look something like this: But at least for their couple name we could call them Phucker. 🤮

Sigh, will this GC day never end? At least Chance changed shirts but why was he even wearing one? Or pants? 😻 Summer was STILL trying to negotiate with Chance wrt her mommy's crimes. He's not GC'S one-man justice system, you dumb twit. Lowly EMT Carson has to go to prison but Phyllis doesn't. WTAF. Way to kill a post-coital blissful mood, Nate. You were about as welcome as a rash on Victoria's lady parts. Lily's guest Daniel reacted more graciously than you deserved IMO. The closed captioning said Ashley's patents would be "...rested from Jabot." Hee, are they tired? (I guess either the captioning was done by AI or English isn't the first language of the people who captioned today's episode.) They're using Heather in Phyllis' crapfest too! I thought she was a corporate attorney. Whatever. So where is Lucy? Heather had Chance's personal cell number. Interesting. And lucky for her Christine was right there when he took the call. DA Cricket would break the space-time continuum expediting that particular arrest warrant. Lily, you might as well have been arguing with the couch. Nate never sees things in any way but how they justify his poor choices in life. Chance handcuffed Phyllis! And then perp-walked her psycho a$$ out of the GCAC. Daaaannnggg!!!! Re the previews: I hope it's going to be a dream sequence between Sharon and Chance. I was thinking maybe he'd get with Elena, not Grandma Gut Stabber. 😏

Per Deadline and other online sources, the actors strike will not affect the daytime soaps. Deadline: Why Soap Actors Will Keep Working If There Is A SAG-AFTRA Strike As Scripts Continue To Be Written Playbill : It may be possible that some Y&R cast members who also do acting work outside of soaps will chose to honor the picket lines but I'd be surprised. Executive Producer JG has already proven to be unsympathetic to the cause since he fired the Y&R writers before the writers strike began. He's also opted not to be bound by the WGA and as Head Writer will continue penning Y&R's scripts.

Hah! At this point I think the Fredo is Kyle. And one day Harrison will take him on a boat ride out on the lake.

Boo, no Emmy nomination for Damson Idris. If it were up to me, I would've moved one of the Succession actors down to the supporting category and plugged in Damson as a lead. Again, I suspect his role and the entire series hit a little too close to home for the Hollywood types who lived in LA during that era. Plus there was likely some twisted notion that giving this show any awards would be glorifying gangs and the illegal drug business. Gee, they don't seem to have a problem with shows about the CIA. Fiction. How does it work?

Loved Nikki's brightly colored dress and thought she looked fabulous today. Whoa, Tucker's been working out. Those biceps were fully loaded. And Mariah's hair was luxurious as usual. Not a fan of the boxy suit however, at least not for her. Tucker, my guy, stop begging. Ashley ain't worth all that. But if it's part of a long con you've been running, do carry on. Just ease up on the manspreading, okay? Abby comforting Summer made me twitchy. AFAIC those two should not be anything remotely close to galpals-ish. Diane trying to work Billy. Hmm, I don't know about that. He has his faults but Billy generally has not been an easy mark. Plus he has nothing to prove to Diane. There sure was a lot of boozing going on this episode. Diane and Billy with the room temperature brown liquor; Summer with the gigantic martini; Ashley and Tucker with the champagne; and, whatever Jack was guzzling in the jazz lounge. Holy hangover, Batman! Gah, everyone knows what's best for you, Kyle? You and Adam should start a support group. He's got Victor, Nick, and Sally planning his life without his input too. And Sharon has basically gone into steamroller mode with him. Kyle, you're on easy street compared to Adam. OMG, Ashley is an utter loony toon. There is nothing to indicate Diane is a danger to Jabot. At this point it seems to me Ashley is its biggest threat right now, especially with Tucker lowkey egging her on. FOH with your stupid loyalty tests, Kyle. I'm glad Mariah reminded him that she and Tessa actually need their jobs, unlike him and Summer the trust fund babies. William, nobody wanted to gaze right at your crotch either. IMO you and Tucker need to cut that shite out. Good job throwing Diane's manipulative play back at her though. Poor Tucker. He just can't get Ashley to bend the knee to him emotionally. Aww. Lol, I guess Billy's going to be the Sonny Corleone of the Abbott family. Stand back everybody. 🙄

Watched Show live today. Yay? Oy, I hope Lily at least gets rid of the couch in Devon's penthouse. Or she gets it steam-cleaned and treated with industrial strength disinfectant. Right there with ya, Adam. This idea of merging KI with MU seems like lukewarm alphabet soup to me too: kind of unappetizing. Don't forget your Harvard MBA and let Sharon talk you into making an iffy business decision without thinking it through. Business director of Marchetti. Good grief, Chelsea keeps failing upward. I was surprised the writers had Devon leave those hallowed photos of Neil in the penthouse. But it was probably smart because to have seen them take a prominent position in Kay's legacy home would've been potentially offensive IMO. Why would Connor care where Chelsea works? Next thing we know, Harrison will don the standard Abbott gray suit and tie, and he'll help Kyle negotiate a job contract with NM. Nah, Summer, Audra isn't a shark. Too obvious. She's a swarm of jellyfish, floating around waiting to sting you with her poisonous venom. Kyle might be more receptive to you when your mommy returns? Summer, do you ever listen to the garbage coming out of your mouth? Phyllis will be going hard after Diane again once EMT Carson clears a prison-free path for her. Vendetta 2: Red Boogaloo still won't sit well with Kyle. So is Lily buying the penthouse or is Devon just letting her live there? Wait, what? It sounded like Sally was talking herself into making nice with Adam again. Girl, bye. You still think he killed your baby. I don't see anybody needing a friend like you, not even Adam. Was it me or was Sharon extremely domineering with Adam about the merger idea? I understand not wanting to take no for an answer but she almost acted like he didn't have a right to say no. Sharon knows best? Oh hail naw. Hey, Connor's soccer uniform was in Ukraine's colors. Wonder if that was deliberate? Thank heaven for small favors. Lily and Daniel didn't christen her new place with couch sex. Pretty slick move I think Adam pulled on Devon. He got Devon to confirm that C/W wouldn't be getting involved in the upcoming battle between NM and MU/Adustus International (🙄). Let's go!

Lol, I know that's right. Where was Nate, anyway? I thought he and Vikki were joined at the hip. Or somewhere else. Dominic is busy right now. He's proofreading the C/W annual report and helping Abby plan Society's winter menu. And he was already exhausted from working with a team of interior decorators to redo Chancellor Mansion in his favorite colors. It's what Kay and Neil would've wanted.

C'est la vie, Adam? Say you STFU. It's easy to be cavalier about people's jobs when you'll never have to worry about not having one. AGAIN IN BROAD FCUKING DAYLIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A PUBLIC PARK! AYFKMWTS? Seriously, JG, do you hate us this much? Traci had to fly in from NYC for more Abbott family infighting. She must have hella frequent flier miles. So Adam is calling his new and improved company Adustus International. According to the googles, "adustus" means singed or scorched. Lol, Adam, ya burnt. Victoria's hair today looked to me like someone put bleach in her shampoo. Not enough to make it platinum blonde but enough to turn it straw yellow. Cousin Itt is pointing and laughing at her. Geez, Jack, like you haven't done enough to alienate your youngest son. Are you trying to drive Kyle into the arms of Jabot's enemies because if so, good job! Apparently the Y&R party line is that Phyllis is The One who can get rid of Diane forever. Phyllis said that yesterday and Ashley repeated it today. But really now, what's Phyllis been doing for the past year, rehearsing? "Hate is as strong as love." Do tell, Phyllis. I guess you're just a coin flip away from loving Diane, huh? Indifference, bish. Look into it. Kyle is 6'2"? Ehhh. I bet everyone looks tall to Audra because she's like 4'12" without stiletto heels. Kirsten Incorporated. Sharon is going to have to come up with a fancy-sounding Latin or Greek word for it because the current name is bleh IMO. PHYLLIS IS AN APEX PREDATOR? Puh-leeze. In what universe do animals at the top of their food chain have to run and hide and pretend like they're dead? I don't know how much more of this inane Phyllis propping I can take, especially when they have Tucker doing it now. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Ta! Hee, Audra almost rendered Summer speechless. You don't even know, Stuporgirl. Audra's darn near got your hubby p-whipped.

Up until I found out Taylor Sheridan is the creator and showrunner, I was into this. Nope, Sheridan is already spread too thin with his 47 Yellowstone spinoffs for this show not to start off with promise and then do a rapid descent into mediocrity.

Pethaps but per the letter Sally was supposed to come down by noon and Adam had already been waiting for her at the bar in the main room. I don't think he was still expecting her to show up in the jazz lounge hours later. If she did and found him working there I think she would've considered it a stake out. Meanwhile, yeah there seems to be several characters who look like they've lost weight recently, most notably Nikki. I suspect it's Ozempic. Hollywood actors--especially women over a certain age--are likely under pressure to stay as slim as they can. However, IMO most of the people in question on Y&R didn't really need to lose weight.

I'm always ready to rag on JG but it's not all on him. The episodes usually don't get put up at CBS.com until around 2:30 pm PDT (or 3:30 pm PST) so people only watching online will have a delay. Plus I think the East coast gets an earlier broadcast feed anyway.

Barstools in white might look elegant but from a practical standpoint they don't seem like a good idea to me. I guess no one at the GCAC bar ever gets drunk enough to have an oopsie in their seat. 🙀 Oh Summer, already with the guilt trips because one Abbott no longer has use for you. Billy handled her silly tantrum with more maturity than she deserved IMO. Lol, Tucker, forget Ashley. Me, myself, and I love it when you say "grind." "Restorative justice." In other words, Phyllis not only gets away with her crimes AGAIN, she still expects to be applauded for it. Ugh. If Diane is supposed to be the Chief Talent Officer of Jabot, I didn't get why she was at the Abbott manse sniping at Ashley and Tucker instead of at work doing her job. Delusional much, Phyllis? I have on good authority that Someone Up There actually said, "It's the Devil's work you've been benefiting from. Don't point your craven claw up at Me. Wrong direction." Diane might be right about NDAs but it's my understanding that non-compete contracts aren't generally enforceable any more--or at least they're easier to evade. I don't think Jabot can truly stop their employees from jumping ship over to Ashley and Tucker's new company. Assuming they'd even be wanted since they'd clearly have proven themselves untrustworthy. And since when is Diane an expert on employment law? Did Tucker lie to Ashley about going to the spa? When he was sitting in the GCAC dining room lip-reading Summer and Daniel's side of their conversation with Michael, it didn't look like he was sitting in a hot tub. 🤔

The Daily Beast has a take on Captain Pike: Suck It, Kirk and Picard: The Best ‘Star Trek’ Captain Is Pike The author's position is basically that Pike is the Star Trek "Dad" we've always wanted.

Pike looked to me like he'd put on some weight. He had a bit of a gut and a little more junk in the trunk. Good to see him back in swing of things though after his relative absence in the first three episodes. Rigel VII was ice, ice, baby, too cold, too cold. After those Kalar soldiers showed up to arrest the landing party I started hoping for an appearance by flying monkeys. Or Daenerys and her dragons. Ortegas has a nice quarters. When the ringing sound started I heard it on one side of my headphones first, and then the other side before it switched to both sides. I was looking around for a few seconds thinking the sound was coming from something in my room. It was almost disconcerting.

Dang, that's brutal! Even I wouldn't wish a HFTF design on Ashley. It's a wonder those rags are even allowed to be called clothes. 😏 Jack getting so out of joint about it didn't make sense to me either. There must be more to the story than we've been told so far. Maybe Ashley is planning to use her chemical patents in the new company, which would present a real problem for Jabot. Hah, which nepo baby, Summer or Kyle? Like this? (NSFW, naughty word) Somehow I don't see Sharon going full tilt beeyotch against a roomful of corporate high muckety-mucks. Batting her eyes and poking out her lips and chest would seem more her style IMO. 😼

Sharon was leaning hard into her GILF look today. Adam sure noticed. What's with Kyle's scrawny mustache? Maybe he should cut back on the soy lattes, lol. Burnt orange must be the color of summer 2023. Today both Ashley and Nick were wearing it. I too loved Tucker's snarky imitation of Jack. He needs to get Jackie's trademark grimace down as well. So Audra is unbothered by receiving an expensive gift from a married man. Ehhh. Why would the acting boss of a major media company want to be a sidepiece? Or a hooker? Guess the jazz lounge has free wifi, ha ha. Does the CEO of MU not have an office he can use or does Adam just work better with cocktail service available? Jack, Jack, Jack. The one advantage Tucker will always have over you is that at the end of the day, he has zero fcuks to give. Save your huffy insults for someone who cares. Kyle has a weird body to me. It's like an upside-down broom: wide at the top, narrow at the bottom. He has no waist and no butt. Audra doesn't seem to mind though. 😒 Wonder if the actors in those flashback scenes get paid extra? Re the previews: Sharon going into corporate business with Adam? Go home, JG. You're drunk.

Sliding notes under people's doors? Sigh, Adam, just stop. You're better than this. Interesting color of Nick's shirt today. Kind of a bright look for him compared to what he usually wears. 🤔 OMG, can they ever get past the recounting of who wasn't where the night Sally lost her baby? I feel like Sally is enjoying being able to play the victim. Wait, what? Where was Victor getting his notion that Adam had been lying in wait for Audra at the GCAC bar? I think Victor was just preemptively stirring up shite, and Audra has less than a full clue of what he's capable of. Breaking up with Kyle seems to have helped Summer's fashion sense, at least for today. I actually liked her blazer dress, heaven help me. Awfully big box for only a pair of earrings. Yeesh. At least it wasn't fake Tiffany blue though. Chloe and Chelsea. Meh. Such a one-sided relationship. Summer assumed Audra's gifts were from Victoria. Oh you are in for a rude awakening, Stuporgirl. The rudest. How much did I love watching Audra and Adam interact? THIS MUCH!!!! They're smoldering, baby! <waving from the UO corner🥴> But Victor, maybe Adam neither wants nor needs Nick's help at McCall. Geez, this guy never learns.
