Now that reference is a deep cut. From one of the most stellar performances in film history. I have actually been trying to figure out how those two could get together. Cameron is way more Phyllis' speed than Jeremy Stark ever was. They could go on a "you punch 'em, I drive over 'em" spree of crime and mayhem across GC. 😈

What kind of family are the Abbotts that Ashley lives in their home but didn't know Diane had been exonerated? One would think patriarch Jack would've sent out a group text letting Billy, Traci, and Ashley know the official news. Preeclampsia. Laying the groundwork for Sally to lose the baby, I bet. CK. Would that be Calvin Klein? Christel Khalil? Oh yeah, Cameron Kirsten. Cute, said no one ever. 🙄 Nick wasn't responding to Sally's calls or texts. Buy a clue, Sally. For Nick you rate somewhere below Sharon and Faith, but maybe above Summer and Noah. Even odds on Christian. Sharon is ridiculous. Every time there's a knock at the door or the doorbell rings her bug eyes almost pop out of her head. If Cameron was ever bold enough to show up at the cottage I doubt he'd be frigging obvious. Tucker, my guy, admiring Phyllis for almost pulling off her insane fake death scheme against Diane = 100% nope. Best you stay way out of Red's lane. There it is. Ashley's so nuts over Diane she was about to hand Tucker the keys to the Jabot kingdom--or at least an access code. Tucker's long game is on point. Shut up, Chelsea. If it's a day ending in a "y" Connor is upset about something. You need to find another way to get sympathy and attention. Not sure why Nick didn't tell Sally about Cameron. I'm thinking Sally should be included under Newmans' protective net since she's carrying a future Newman heir. I've never tasted cognac. Can one guzzle it the way Cameron did today, without choking? 😵‍💫 Adam now in Cameron's sights. Oy, Cam, you do not want that smoke. Google "FAFO."

Lol, caught a moment of today's show in passing. There's nothing like seeing Miss Ashley get her face cracked, especially by Diane. Whee!

I'm feeling very wary about it. This is a different world than when the Cameron storyline originally happened. I don't think the daytime TV audience is inclined to be as tolerant of rape and other violence against women being used as entertainment. People can watch any number of prime time broadcast police procedurals for that stuff, in particular L&O: SVU. There are rampant spumors Cameron is going to do something to Faith since she's Sharon's daughter and is also blonde. AFAIC JG better consider the possible repercussions if he writes it in a way that will leave Sharon mourning the death of another child, or with Faith alive but having been brutalized. Who wants to see that?

What was that crocheted vest thing Lucy had on today? It looked to me like she was wearing two gigantic pot holders sewn together. Oy. Lol, Cam, women are allowed to have their own cell phones now. Sally didn't need your chivalrous offer to place a call for her. But wait, could Cameron have done enough homework to know Sally is Nick's girlfriend? He may have been trying to gauge whether Sally's important enough to Nick to get him away from guard duty at Sharon's house. I thought Lucy went way overboard about Lily and Daniel having been married when they were much younger. And she's awfully chipper all of sudden. Hmm. Dang, I was not ready for how brutally Cameron had treated Sharon back in the day. He put his whole body into that punch. Why was Sharon alone with him if there was already a history of him beating her? Whaaattt???? Nick and Sharon had to parachute out of a jet with Cameron in tow. Was the pilot dead or something? Be funny if Kyle starts to suspect Summer of cheating on him because she keeps acting squirrelly for no apparent reason. Lucy calls Heather "Mom" now. Interesting. When Faith bumped into Cameron I actually recoiled in horror. Don't go there, JG. Not even if it ends up with Cameron dead for real this time. 😐

Hey, Sharon's house. Long time no see. I'm sorry but Cameron standing there with his shirt open looking like he just finished a hard winter of being a ski bum up in Telluride did nothing for me. AFAIC Cameron is like Grizzly Adams with a suburban dad bod. 🙄 Summer, the least of your psycho mommy's worries would be a big media company finding out she's alive. She's got Christine on her tail now and the Bug is hella pissed. And then Chance shows up in another boring workman blouse (😼). Where's his bare chest at? His bare chest glistening with a fine patina of perspiration as he lies back on a bed of white satin. 😜😜😜 Borgnine. No self-respecting cat would want to be called that. (Wikipedia describes the late actor Ernest Borgnine as having a Cheshire Cat grin. Whuuut? ) Nick continuing to go on the warpath about Nate must mean Nate is going to pull something outrageous at NE/MN and get stomped by the Newmans. Alrighty then. Lol, was Cameron about to beat off to Sharon's photo? I thought the staging of that scene was odd, to put it mildly. So Allie's working in Paris and Noah's back in London. Guess we won't be seeing either of them again any time soon, if ever. Daniel is handling Summer all wrong. I feel like he should just follow her to Phyllis' hiding place instead of arguing with her. Um, what's the significance of cigars between Sharon and Cameron? Please tell me it's not something kinky, à la Bill and Monica.

Was Barry in California when he bought those guns on the fly at the big box store? Even in the somewhat distant future I don't see that happening. Sally sobered up, finally. She'll probably be a bit of a dry drunk for a while though. Worst henchmen ever. None of those guys thought to wear Kevlar? "Oh wow." But I guess subconsciously Barry was ready to die if he went to Gene's house unprotected. Geez, I hope John didn't think that movie was a factual documentary. But who wrote the script, Sally? It would benefit her to be able to live off Barry's reflected glory, fake though it may be. Barry was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with honors. WTAF. Bravo, Bill Hader. I did not see that coming. It's been quite a ride. I look forward to seeing what Hader does next.

Victor apologized to Chance and offered to let Chance punch him. I don't how Chance didn't bust out laughing. Billy saw Vikki acting happy and straight away assumed it was because she's been getting laid. Even if it was true, misogynist much, William? At first I thought Daniel took Lily to Audra's room and started trying to figure out why Audra and Daniel would be bunking together. Preach, Lily! Say it loud enough for the people in the back to hear! I feel like this forum in particular wrote that tirade she went on after Daniel told her Phyllis wasn't dead. At least we now know the show isn't trying to gaslight us wrt what Phyllis is doing to her kids. Okay, now Daniel's problem is that he was raised by Danny. No, Phyllis, Daniel's issue is having a psycho mommy who's deliberately creating a wall between him and his sister. Divide and conquer. Nate has impressive brown-nosing skills. He was so far up Victor's a$$ today he could probably taste what Vic ate for dinner last night. Olivia would not be proud. This m.f.-er. Nate is now making himself out to be the victim in his situation with Lily and Devon. What I don't understand is why Victor was acting like he didn't know better. Poor Diane. She thought the ankle monitor was the worst part of her day but then Billy showed up to offer his unsolicited "wisdom." He has no clue how much in the dark he is. Man, Christine sure turned on a dime after Chance gave her the proof about undead Red. I suspect she's more embarrassed than anything else, now to realize what a fool Phyllis made of her and how half the town knows it. Summer told Phyllis not to leave her hotel room. Please, has she met that nutbag before?

That's the way the audience should see it but I don't think Tariq does. I think Tariq views his parents being good enough at criming to stack up money for their kids' futures is his substitute for being born on third base and getting to act like he hit a home run. Tariq sees himself as more of a bootstrapper than an elite. Having ancestors who came over on the Mayflower, or simply being raised in a two-parent home, are not necessarily predictors of future success or happiness. IMO, at best those are guarantees of the world expecting you not to fail, despite perhaps being Black (or at least not White) in the United States. The world may not know you actually grew up in a toxic environment where one or both parents may have been, for example, veiled criminals or functional addicts. And that you've decided to continue operating in the illegal path they were on because you're so much smarter and better at it than they were. 🙄

Caught the opening moments of today's show in passing. Did Y&R get a budget infusion? The sets look bigger and brighter. And Chance must've decided he really liked that shirt and bought it in several colors, ha ha. I do the same thing.

^^^TMW you're reading this forum and smoke starts coming out of your device because a post is burning the joint down. That visual is going to haunt me for a while. 😧 I think it'd be interesting if Connor went through an incel phase (but the show definitely would not call him that). He probably needs to be a bit older though.

Right? Claudia had the right to remain silent but not the ability apparently. I liked this show and I too hope there's a second season. I really appreciated how tightly written it was, plus the fantastic production values.

I keep forgetting Tariq speaks fluent Italian. He's a regular Renaissance man. 🙄 Why were these people making such a big deal about going to Milan? It's a simple hop across the Atlantic. Effie perhaps had never left the US before though. Interesting how she must've had a passport at the ready. Airhead Brayden doesn't have a lock on his phone. Because of course. I am so over Noma and her henchman Obi, even if they are keeping Tariq in check. They're like cartoon villains, IMO. Too much mustache-twirling. Dru better hope that dead CI didn't have his phone automatically backed up to the cloud. Okay, Brayden's definitely been working out. Maybe those muscles are to make up for his relatively short stature, hah hah. Does Italy really have coal mines? Lauren, do you want Tariq to kill you? Or for Effie to make sure she finishes the job the next time? Either way, it'll be Cooper's fault for being stupid jealous. Still though, it shouldn't have been so easy for him to follow Jenny to the hideout. She's bad at her job. Dang, Monet is savage. Wonder how long it'll take for Dru to find out his boyfriend killed his daddy

Someone on another soap forum noticed this from Friday's episode: Who wore the shirt best, lol? I'm gonna have to go with Chance though his is maybe a size too big and looks kind of blousey to me. Could be but Linden Ashby (Cameron Kirsten) recently did an interview where he said JG reached out to him a year ago to come back to Y&R. He couldn't though because he was tied up with some movie projects. Per his IMDb page it doesn't seem like he's been hurting for work and needed his wife to throw her weight around at Y&R. Maybe this is why Jeremy Stark's presence in GC was extended. JG had a villain slot to fill until he could get Cameron Kirsten back in town and Jeremy was handy. Whatever, I'm just hoping Cameron does not ever appear in gray velour.

Finally got back to this show. Looks like Mary J's back in the action big time. Can't wait until Monet figures out what's going on between Cane and Lorenzo. "Ho phones"? Is that what they're calling burner phones now? Brayden in his Burberry puffer jacket. Way to be an inconspicuous drug dealer, Trust Fund Boy. College lesson of the day: if you're not born into a wealthy, elite family a good alternative is to have had a father who was a major criminal. Who you murdered. 🙄 "The Black Elon Musk." Yikes, that's not exactly a compliment, especially to a Black man. Someone should've explained to Cooper Saxe how to pronounce "consigliere." Salim could stand to eat a sandwich or three. I actually gasped when they showed how skeletal his body is. And then Dru showed up in a Burberry puffer jacket too. Did the wardrobe people get a product placement deal with Burberry? Nothing like a bullet wound to get you all hot and bothered. Seriously, Dru?

Mark Wahlberg playing a Barry in Gene's biopic. How meta. I bet he had a good laugh when he saw this episode. Or not. Hader kind of went in on Wahlberg's particular "issues" in Hollywood. Fuches' henchmen like the Ohio Players. Thumbs up from me. Was the policeman Sally tried to turn herself into not a real cop? Or was she hallucinating again? Bow down, Vince Gilligan. AFAIC Bill Hader topped Ozymandias as a penultimate episode.

Chloe. I thought she had dumped Sally as a friend and business partner? And WTF was she wearing? It looked to me like the fabric had been sewn inside out. I guess Chance gets his drinks at the coffeehouse for free. Or Sharon lets the hotties she wants to bang run a tab. 😼 Yep, Summer, your psycho mommy went to her own memorial and was judging all the eulogies. Let that insanity sink into your feeble brain. And there was Chloe again pushing Sally to sell herself to Nick. Easy for you to say, Chloe, since it wouldn't be your cooch on the line. Meanwhile, you think any help coming from Adam = filthy lucre. FOH. Christine was surprised Summer hadn't yet told Nick that Phyllis wasn't dead. Cricket, Nick's ignorance is among the least of the problems in this clusterfcuk of a murder case. Take a look in the nearest mirror, sweetie. The closed captioning spelled Lily's daughter's name as "Maddie." I was unamused on Mattie's behalf. Sally and Chloe's big idea was to deploy aromatherapy in a corporate environment. Ehhh, sounds goopy. 😏 (And I feel bad for any C/W employees who may be sensitive in a bad way to random odors, even those produced by essential oils.) Phyllis calling herself "a decent mom." I cannot. Come through, Chance. You're our only hope out of this disaster. Not sure why Lily was being kind of snarky with Sally about her pregnancy. Women have been having babies for millennia. Sally wiil be fine and hopefully so will Baby Girl Newman. Ease up, Lily. Dang, Cameron Kirsten is back in GC and he's not trying to hide. But it has to be against his parole, no? Jeremy Stark 2.0. 😒 Re the previews, if Cameron is going after Faith he better be prepared to die. It'll only be a matter of who'll kill him: Sharon, Nick, Nikki the Newman enforcer, or Victor's crack security team. Let's go!

Interesting how Lily went straight to the GCAC to see Daniel when she got back from NYC. Are they officially together now? Blah, blah, blah, Summer. Stop trying to deflect blame from your nutbag criminal mommy to your brother. Wow, the show finally acknowledged that Chance doesn't work for Christine. Their repeated informal meetings to discuss Diane's case have definitely been outside the chain of command. Lily kept holding her bag close in front of her today like she was trying to hide something. Is CK pregnant? Steak frites. In a Cuban food-themed restaurant. 🤔 Finally, my wish came true and Lucy and Johnny met! A rich, entitled boy and a down-to-earth upper middle-class girl. It's a match made in soap opera heaven and YA romance novels. So apparently there's either a garbage collector strike in GC or the NoTell Motel is way behind on their payments to their trash removal service. Eww, Chance, you better burn your clothes after that nasty adventure in dumpster diving. Poor Connor, lol. Is he still at the "girls have cooties" stage or is he just bothered by Johnny's attention being diverted to Lucy? Shut up, Billy. If you feel a way seeing Lily happy with Daniel instead of mourning her breakup with you, tough titties. Wills said it best: "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child." Devon, if you go looking for trouble with Tucker you're likely to find it. Especially since you're already convinced on Abby's whackadoodle behalf that he's up to no good.

Nikki, what was giving Victoria that glow was the facial Nate gave her earlier. Nate's not an aesthetician. Think about it. 😏 So Harrison is going to attend day camp at Camp Wildwind. Is he going to take the Jabot jet every day because as I recall, that camp is in Pennsylvania. Erica Kane got married on the Wildwind estate at least once. (I see you, JG. 😉) Ashley's boobage was awfully perky today. Guess Audra graduated to Tucker's old suite when he moved in with Ashley. Nate is such an egomaniac he has no clue how easily Audra is working him wrt their advancement opportunities at NE/NM. Moron. Victoria is pushing 50, right? She has to be old enough to have relationships without her mommy's approval. Besides, even Nikki doesn't realize what a snake Nate is. Ashley, "mother and grandmother of Abbott children" beats "fake fiance of a non-biological Abbott" any day of the week. Shut up. You're actually terrified of a woman in an ankle bracelet. Lucy still refers to Grandma Phyllis by her first name and none of the adults correct her. Is Kyle that tall or is Daniel that short? Bouffant Boy was towering over Omega Sphere Man at the GCAC today. Audra's right, she does indeed have the benefit of inside, historical knowledge about McCall Unlimited. However, it seems to me she could just as profitably use that info to help Adam versus Nate. Plus, Adam's single and not opposed to office couch sex. 🤠 Summer better hope the mysterious text she received was from her psycho mama and not Chance. And that he's not having her followed. Tucker. You know Ashley hasn't fallen back in love with you. Be careful, playboy.

I happened to catch the opening scene with Nikki and Victoria and noticed how much slimmer MTS is. Even her face looked thinner to me. Hope she's okay.

Nate is so slimy I'm starting to wonder if he leaves a trail wherever he walks. Calm down, Jackie. If Ashley won't stay in her lane at Jabot you'll just have to play the "not a biological Abbott" card again. 😏 Sharon noticed how agitated Nick was when he stomped into the coffeehouse. I was surprised she didn't close up for the day and give Nick her undivided attention as he whined about Victoria and Adam and Nate and Victor and źzzzzzzzzzzz You know you've messed up when Billy is the one schooling you on the facts of business vs. personal life. Jack handled it far more graciously than he should've, IMO. Was Sharon hitting the edibles today? She kept making so many weird and wacky faces when she was talking to Nick. Oh Victoria, you're about to fcuk around and find out--literally. Nate all but admitted to you he's not only gunning for Nick's job, he'll take yours too. You won't be able to say you weren't warned. Nice job telling Vikki and Nate off, Elena. Brava. But I doubt Ms. Newman values your opinion any more than she cared about your feelings when she screwed your man behind your back. Back away from the Tucker, Jackie. You might could handle shrieking Ashley alone but if she's got Tucker acting as her muscle, all bets are off. Sharon, that is not the way to dispose of an unopened bottle of liquor. What if someone pulls it out of the waste basket and drinks it? And it's poisoned or the person is underaged? You could be held liable. Geez.

Good grief, how old is Victoria, 12? She was basking in the afterglow of a whole night of mattress mambo and all she could think about is wrecking Adam's new business. Such a petty betty. Where does Billy live that he's there when Johnny and Katie are getting ready for school? I thought he was at the GCAC but maybe he's gotten a condo or something. Chelsea didn't seem puzzled by his comments though. Hey, it's Lucy!. She's become quite the little jetsetter and must have tons of frequent flyer miles banked with Iberia Airlines. 😏 And of course Adam wants to use McCall to go after Newman Media. Will he and his sister ever stop having their silly Newman slap fights? Yawn. Sigh, Diane never knows when to leave well enough alone. Digging at Summer for Phyllis' failed scheme is not a smart move IMO. Mummy and dotter are known to be vindictive, as Diane has well learned by now. Billy and Chelsea's mutual humble brags about how hard they're winning as parents and corporate professionals. KMN. Chance is so freaking hot. 😻 Especially when he's climbing up rich people's law-evading a$$es and turning on a flame thrower. I'm swooning over here. Why was Nate doing the walk of shame? Could he not go home and change clothes or was he just trying to show off in hopes someone would notice? It's a wonder Audra didn't laugh in his stupid face since she is guaranteed to drop a gossipy tidbit about it at work. Audra, you better get Nate's promises to you about NM in writing because his word isn't worth much. Just ask Elena, Lily, and Devon. Sure hope Summer is using a burner phone when she calls Phyllis. Be funny if someone hacked her cell to find out where those calls are going. Hmm, Diane has lots of free time and limited mobility.

Have we seen that police commissioner before? She was kind of blah to me but I guess she wasn't supposed to upstage the main characters. WTH, they sicced a police dog on an innocent person who just happened to be in the area? "Oh well, go over there and let someone have a look at your arm that was almost ripped out of the socket Next time, don't run from us." If the victim a US Senator why wasn't the perp charged federally? It was odd Price and Maroun didn't know the perp had been involved in a high profile way in a mass shooting. You'd think the guy's name and face would've been all over the media and they would've recognized him. Plus his background should've been thoroughly investigated as part of the pre-trial preparation. This show keeps using the prosecution's lack of sufficient research as a convenient plot hole. So what's the over/under on Hugh Dancy returning in the next season? Apparently he has a lot of detractors due to his overly emo portrayal of Price. His wife is back working again so maybe he can stay home for a while, lol.

E5 FUBUN. Knockoff FUBU. Loved "Why You Ain't Say Nothing?" If I could remember my high school algebra better I could figure out how many unique two-person combinations could be made from four different people. Yikes, Bobby Brown was barely recognizable. He looked like someone who'd swallowed My Prerogative-era Bobby Brown whole. I think caught every tenth word in that hotel check-in desk sketch. You had to pay extra for a key card that worked? Actually, that doesn't seem so unbelievable now. E6 I hadn't really noticed a lot of businesses coopting Juneteenth but geez, do they not know what it means? I have been amused though by a certain big box store starting to to market a section of clothes from Black designers. Some of the outfits I wasn't sure were meant to be taken seriously. The corporate-speak gangs. That sketch gave me some bad memories from having to use buzz words at work to avoid saying what you really meant. In that cubicle sketch were they supposed to be doing Spanish accents? But it was a good takeoff on telenovelas. Easter tights. OMG, please tell those aren't still a thing. See. See. See. And here comes the long wait until Season 5. 😕

Yeah, I've noticed it too but I figured she was having upper respiratory issues due to spring blooms and pollen. It's hard for me to imagine an actor making an effort to sound like that unless it's part of the charactization.
