If Sharon and Daniel get together after everything that's happened, I think TPTB might as well pack Y&R in a rocket and blast it directly into the sun. And have Phyllis riding on top of the rocket like this moment from the classic 1960s film, Dr. Strangelove:

If only Drake had stayed in his lane. Kendrick not only wrecked him, he won multiple Grammys for the performance. Maybe Drake should do a collabo with Will Smith, lol.

GMTA! On January 15 I posted that I gave it a month, tops. Chelsea and Adam are going to boink for sure. There's Valentine's Day as an excuse, plus February is a sweeps month. Yep. I'm just glad Kyle was drinking something besides booze. He can't seem to go many places without having liquor.

Speaking of the sets, I recognized a couple of them from some old Tyler Perry series. That's going to be distracting for me because I tend to stop and try to figure out where I've seen a given set before. Oh well. 😉 Also, as a former viewer of Bold and the Beautiful, I am so happy for Karla Mosley.

Grrr, I'm still mad Traci gave Victor Colleen's heart! After everything he's done to Abbotts and will keep doing to Abbotts, no effing way did Victor deserve such grace from Traci. AFAIC Traci straight up stabbed her own kin in the back. For what? 🤬🤬😡😡

"The bullet went straight through so there was hardly any damage." Um, what? If Victor had been shot straight through his temples I'm pretty sure he'd be dead. Whoever wrote that line needs to pay better attention when they watch Chicago Med. The old ranch set looked smaller to me. Victor Newman was in the hospital because of a nonfatal GSW but Kyle didn't know? It would've been all over the news media. Guess Kyle was too busy working on his bouffant to catch up on current events. 😼 I'm with Daniel: Heather only ended up murdered because she showed up at Daniel's apartment at the wrong time. What if it had been him? Would Jordan have killed Daniel instead? The story is still iffy to me. Wait, what? Victor didn't jump in front of a bullet meant for Nikki. Ian aimed right at him. Stop trying to gaslight the audience, Show. Not sure why Nick took it upon himself to warn Chelsea off Adam. It's not any of his business at all. Kyle served Claire a cup of tea after she'd just told him what went down with Jordan. This guy. Utterly thoughtless. There was snow on the ground and in the trees and bushes but Daniel sat outside without a coat, gloves, or hat. Okay. Sounded to me like Adam was lowkey more disappointed than grateful Victor didn't die. Hmm. OMG, Sharon, stop agonizing over Daniel! He needs to work through his grief and you can't help.

Or, "lovey" is a primarily British term of endearment, while "lovie" can either be the American English spelling of "lovey," or a stuffed toy treated like a security blanket.

That was my experience too and I started wondering if my CC had made a mistake. Sometimes the CC is based on a script which was revised at the last minute. I also think sometimes the actors misspeak, or they ad lib their lines. I don't know what happened in yesterday's clusterfcuk. This sounds hyperbolic but IMO it truly was one of the worst soap opera episodes Y&R has ever produced. Lately it seems to me like different parts of the show are being written by a committee whose members barely communicate with each other.

Guess not kidnapping Mariah's family was one thing Ian hadn't been lying about. Okay. Ian still alive and carrying on a conversation after he was shot directly in the gut at close range. Sure, Jan. #unabletocan Come on, Tessa. How hard would it have been for you to leave Mariah a note before you went out for a drive with the baby? Not sure I'm completely buying Tessa's excuses. Apparently it was Prop Victor the Hero! Day in GC. Meh. So that's why Abby never made it to the ranch: she rescued Tessa and wee Aria from their broke down car on the side of the road. Lol, bet the Newmans won't even tell Abby Victor got shot. Phew, the bullet went right through Victor's muffin top. Sometimes it pays not to be skinny. 😼 Of course Sharon and Mariah got their big moments to chew Ian out while he was unconscious on the gurney. Melodramaz! I would've given cash money if the EMTs had tossed Victor out of that speeding ambulance. "Diane Jenkins sends her regards, you jerk." At least Chance picked up on the overwhelming stench of b.s. wafting in the ranch house living room. Poor guy knows he's no match for the crafty Newmans and their consigliere. If Ian wasn't dead I don't know why everyone was saying he's no longer a threat. He's Ian Ward! I really didn't need those close camera shots in the ambulance, looking up Nikki and Victor's nostrils. Ugh.

Wonder how long it'll take for Victor to crow to Jack about how he almost died for his family? I give it a week, tops. IMO Victor is still mad about Jack risking his sobriety and possibly his life to keep Nikki from drinking herself to death. He doesn't like Nikki being beholden to Jack. Well, now Victor has topped Jack's selfless gesture and he'll hold it over Nikki's head forever. (AFAIC Victoria is already Victor's sucker, and Claire is lowkey working all of them until she can gain control of the Newman empire.) Victor spent a lot of time fiddling with his phone while Ian was holding a gun on him. Seems to me he could've at least been texting Adam and/or Abby a warning so they'd know to bring help. Adam walking in there clueless was totally unbelievable to me. That whole mess yesterday seemed like not only an attempt to make Victor look like a hero but also to give RW a Daytime Emmy submission reel. But it was also so full of plot holes I wonder if it was written by multiple people who barely coordinated with each other. Bill Bell must be spinning in his grave.

Sigh, Ian, you always have a choice. You could choose to go away and live your life instead of ruining it by shooting a Newman. IAN SAID HE FELL IN LOVE WITH JORDAN! WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FCUK? Just when I thought this storyline couldn't be any more insane... Halfway though this episode, I was ready for guys in black tactical gear to parachute onto the ranch house roof and drop smoke bombs down the chimneys. One might expect the Newmans to have a safe word so they'd know something was up if Victor summoned them. No way should any of them have walked into a hostage situation in the living room unawares. How was RW not utterly embarrassed to be doing this hammy nonsense? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

All this^^^. I might could've tolerated that crap if it seemed like Billy was doing it without thinking. However, the way the scene was staged it was clear the show wanted to highlight the manspreading so Billy was doing it deliberately. Why? Who is supposed to be impressed by a direct shot of Billy's crotch? Whatever, it reads to me as insecurity, not as evidence of masculinity.

The show didn't treat Sharon's hypnosis as irrelevant though. Michael and Nick immediately decided the results meant Sharon was innocent of Heather's murder. And Phyllis was loudly skeptical until the show decided she would accept it too because she was tired of being in anger mode. I think what will finally end all the debate is when everyone finds out Ian and/or Jordan killed Heather.

This effing guy, manspreading right in the opening scene. Stop it, Billy!!! (I see you, JT and JG. Feel free to bite me.) Why did the CC spell lovey as "lovie"? Whatever, I call those things like Mariah was holding a stuffie or plushie. Michael the big bad consigliere, armed with a Bible verse. Okay. Ian is definitely good at dissembling. He didn't miss a beat when Michael told him Jordan was dead. I bet Sharon and Mariah will be mad when they find out Nick was lying to them about not knowing where Ian was. But he probably kept Mariah from going over to the ranch house and killing Ian herself. Hey, Billy, if you hurry you could probably buy TikTok. 😈 Yelling at Ian is pointless, Nick. But you go ahead and do your angry tough guy routine and see how far that gets you. Huh, now I'm thinking the set for Billy's house is Brad Carleton's old place Abby inherited. The place I wish Abby and Devon had moved to instead of squatting at the Chancellor Estate. Oh of course Ian snatched the security guy's weapon. Right before my eyes rolled so hard they fell out of my head.

When it first came up that what Sharon said under hypnosis was accepted as fact, I hit the googles. Apparently the regard of hypnosis under legal circumstances varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. So training at the Law & Order night school isn't even helpful on this one because NYC <> GC.

I don't disagree that Audra is widely disliked. I just don't see everyone making faces when they see her. That's the kind of thing children like Katie or Connor do, or immature adults who can't control their reactions. Plus, I don't think TPTB would let that happen because Audra is the only Latinx character on the show right now and having everyone behaving like that toward her would risk looking racist. CBS and their two daytime soaps already have some bad history on that front.

Duplicate post, please delete

Yep and yep. I had already thought Amy was shady, and today it hit me that Audra could be in on whatever Amy is pulling. Note how Audra insisted on going to L.A. with Nate to meet Damian. Then in L.A. she and Amy went off to do some shopping together. It's possible Audra had met Damian before Nate did. She could be working with both Amy and Damian as a honeytrap to distract Nate while Damian goes after Winters Inc. Other than Lily and Devon, I don't think anyone in GC cares that much about Audra to be making stank faces when they see her.

Audra is pretty much living with Nate now. Seems to me they might as well make it official. So the PCP definitely triggered Sharon's hallucinations of Cassie? Okay, Sharon can stop talking about PCP now, I hope. Victor has some nerve accusing the gang of three of going rogue. Going rogue is what he does all the time, and he always expects his family to accept it. Lol, does Damian have a split personality or is Amy in on the long con he must be running on Nate? (😉) Damian can't be a shiftless poor if he's also the owner of a successful corporate conglomerate. Shut it, Victor. What's done is done. You're just mad Claire gets the credit for ending Jordan. And that Victoria and Nikki had Claire's back instead of yours. Nate, you can't be this naive. Damian is likely using you to make a run at taking over Winters Inc. (😉) Aw geez, Ghoul Cameron was still hanging around. How many times does Sharon have to "banish" him from her mind before it sticks? Why did Victor let Jordan's body be taken to the morgue? I'm going to laugh so hard if the vehicle transporting her corpse is in an accident and her body disappears. Chance, have you met Victor before? You can't be trying to swing your detective d!ck at him. Victor stays one step ahead of you and the GCPD with his lies and cover stories. Yeah, sure, Amy. Bet your illness will magically go into remission now that Dr. Nate wants be involved in your medical treatment. You'd think Nick would've been worried about protecting Mariah, Tessa, and wee Aria as soon as he realized Ian and Jordan were in cahoots. Sigh, too late.

IKR? Ian wanting Sharon and Tessa out of the way so he'd have a clear path to Mariah makes sense to me. But Jordan killing Heather did nothing to help her get to Claire. Counting on Sharon being arrested and going to prison left too many places where things could damage Ian and Jordan's plan. For example, who would've expected hypnosis to clear Sharon of a murder charge? And don't get me started on Jordan and Ian having sex--albeit off-camera. How did those two hitting the sheets enhance any of this except to increase the WTFery of the entire story arc? I'm fine with Y&R giving work to veteran actors like CZ and RW. But geez, not like what's been done with Jordan and Ian. Hopefully both actors have at least gotten decent paychecks out of this crap.

There was a "blink and you'll miss it" moment a few weeks ago. Billy told someone (Victoria?) he'd bought a house so that when Katie and Johnny sleep over they could bring their friends. Frankly, I didn't think we'd ever see the house. Where Billy was living has been a mystery for quite a while. He wasn't at the Abbott manse, the GCAC, or Chelsea's apartment, and he and Lily sold their condo when they broke up. Seeing him at home wasn't treated as significant even though Billy's a member of one of the legacy families.

Yes and I also thought the lack of reaction was odd. I guess it's possible Cole told Victoria about it and she told Claire but that would be a huge piece of information to have relayed without letting the viewers know. Whatever, I think Victor did pick up on Jordan spilling the secret. That's likely why after Jordan died Victor immediately went into anger mode at the gang of three. He was making sure to put the blame back on them.

Oy, kind of macabre for those Newmans to stand around watching Jordan die. Of course Mariah and Nick didn't take Sharon to the hospital first. Sigh. Wah, wah, wah, Billy. Maybe you should talk to a therapist instead of continually crying on Jack's shoulder about your absurd revenge schemes. Claire said she used a whole bottle of sleeping pills to poison Auntie's tea. Hmm, I'd think Jordan would've noticed right away the liquid was a bit chalky or cloudy. Billy bragged to Jack how he has good ideas for a new enterprise of his own. Sure, William. AI? Cryptocurrency? TikTok videos? Yesterday Victor crowed he didn't need Jordan's help finding Ian. Then today he demanded Jordan tell him where Ian was before she croaked on Victoria's couch. Huh? Victor checked his watch while Jordan was wasting her final breaths delivering another overwrought speech. Was he late for a tee time, or wondering why the sleeping pills were taking so long to kill her? BILLY'S HOUSE!!!!! Wow, YR spent some $$$$. Today's unveiling was timely since basic set looked like it had been Jordan's place back in Oregon. But dang, how did Sally pull off all that interior decoration without Billy knowing? She even had a photo of Delia. Sally, giirrll, go get your man. Ew, I hope Victoria's going to buy a new couch after Jordan unalived herself on the current one. She better burn all the throw pillows too. 😱😱😱😱

Right? When Phyllis finds out Jordan is the one who killed Heather (or did Ian do it?) they'll need to bring in a GC industrial street sweeper to clean up the pile of shards. She probably won't care about Sharon being kidnapped though.

GMTA, lol. That's exactly the take I had but I figured it was because I recently read the book, Wicked, and have had the Witches in mind. But if Claire is Dorothy, who is Glinda? And who are the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Lion? 🤔 Nah, JG ain't that deep as a writer, and the current Oz movie is the product of a CBS competitor.
