That is indeed ironic, to come out of prison for selling marijuana and end up murdered across the street from a legal weed shop. Of course the suspected perp started running through a crowded area. Wait, "cannabis intoxication"? Is that really a thing? I thought one of the selling points of cannabis is that it didn't agitate you, it simply chilled you out. THC turning someone violently psychotic is scary to me. Oy, not even once. Price just had to be spoiled baby. If the prosecution didn't win the case he'd get to say, "Told ya." Shouldn't Maroun have recused herself once she realized she had a deeply personal issue clouding her judgment in this particular case? Yeah, seven months. Clearly he's a living saint and shouldn't be languishing in prison while there's so much good he could be doing out in the world. /s

Apparently so. I think YR has been looking cheap for a while now. They seem to have gotten an infusion of funds for wardrobe though and now some people are even having two or three wardrobe changes in one episode. Not too long ago I can recall characters wearing the same outfits for weeks. What's really ridiculous to me is how a given person will start the day at the coffeehouse, then go to Society, then the Glam Club, and end up back at the coffeehouse in the evening. Who lives like that? And now they've added some kind of overlook at the park where people sit on benches in the freezing cold and wax nostalgic. So there's a height requirement, at least for men. Okay.

As many pregnancies Nick has been involved with, you'd think he'd start getting suspicious of Sally continuing to avoid alcohol. "Victor and Nikki's pied-à-terre." Please, isn't it just a Gold Coast condo? Diane has the best wardrobe. IMO she hasn't made a false sartorial step yet, and I would wear all of her clothes. 👑 AFAIC Nate is another rude person. I don't think his being Audra's new boss gives him carte blanche to show up at her room unannounced. Geez, even doofus hair Kyle got to take some shots at Tucker. Nick claimed to know Jill well. How and why? I don't recall their having any interactions beyond when he was a child, and certainly not on the business front. And then mega-duck-lipped Phyllis slithered in. Looked to me like her mouth entered Glam Club several minutes before the rest of her body did. 😼 Slow your roll there, Kyle. Adam could eat you for breakfast and lunch, and still have a healthy appetite for dinner. You do not want any of that. What is Jeremy going to do with a piece of Nikki's jewelry? Fence it? Nothing about his involvement in this storyline makes sense to me. Yeah, Audra being fully honest with Nate about her association with Tucker was unexpected. She didn't try to tap dance around it at all. Huh. FFS, Tucker, Ashley is only going to Paris. The Atlantic Ocean really seems to intimidate you for some reason. Nate, you colossal fool. Audra deftly polishes your corporate knob and you keep falling for it. Nick is not very observant, especially when he's focused on gettin' him some boo-tay. Otherwise he would've scanned Sally's room when he came in and seen the vitamin bottle right there in the open. 🙄 Re the previews: Jeremy, have you met Diane before? Unless you plan to put it on live webcam, making Diane kiss you (or more) isn't going to faze her at all.

Re Noah's hair, Soaps.com addressed it. Here's the after & before comparison they provided: Allegedly the new look is part of a change in Noah's characterization to have more of a harder edge, pun intended.

Sally's actually looking a bit fuller in the face to me. Hmmm. Be funny if...nah, I won't go there yet. Nice sorta product placement for Rainbow Light vitamins since their bottle is so recognizable. Wah, wah, Lily. Too bad, so sad. Cue the orchestra of tiny violins, Well now, is Billy having his first sleepover at Chelsea's place? Let the couch sex begin! 🤮🤮🤮💩💩💩😱😱😱 Shut up, Daniel. I know you wanted to be supportive of Lily but you don't know what you're talking about here. Devon doesn't need Lily's "brilliant mind." Leaving the vitamin bottle on the coffee table? Shady, Chloe. With "friends" like you, I'm thinking Sally needs better friends. Way better. Heh, JT got his Emmy nomination reel done today. Billy was all teary-eyed, agonizing over Delia's death yet again. Golf claps for him. 🙄 Not sure what world Billy and Chelsea think is a better place with them in it because it sure ain't this one. Perhaps Neptune or Uranus. I wish they weren't doing this with Sally. I don't see CBS/TPTB allowing even for the possibility she might decide to not to proceed with the pregnancy. And I think Chloe is one of the last people who should be presuming to act as Sally's conscience, especially given the way she conceived Bella.

^^^All of this. Abby is pretty close to a billionaire. She doesn't have any rich people accoutrement like a private jet or yacht or even a vacation home. All she's spending money on is running Society. Dominic's expenses are probably split between her, Devon, and Chance. It makes zero sense that she has to keep squatting at the Chancellor Estate now that she and Chance are divorced. But the writers have had both Devon and Chance say it's okay for her to keep living there, so I guess the audience just has to buy it. Nah, I want Jill's take on it since it's actually her house. Grrr.

Chelsea, vampires cannot enter your home unless you invite them in. Just sayin'. 😏 Cardamom, peppercorns, clove, and cinnamon. Yeesh, Sharon, was Chance supposed to drink that concoction or put in a bong and smoke it? Sharon: I'd be willing to try anything and everything, Chance. Chance: really? Anything? Like if I want to handcuff you, strip you naked, grab my baton and put it-- Sharon: Chance! Let's leave a little mystery, okay? Besides, you're my third cop. I know how kinky you fellas like to roll. Chance: <sly grin> Man, TPTB must be majorly serious about Chelsea's redemption if they've brought Victor in to prop it. It's ovah, Billy! Buh bye! Deuces! You better call Tryone but you can't use Lily's phone. Is Victor intending to undermine Adam's role in Connor's life via Chelsea's emotional vulnerabilities? Of course he is. 😒 Geez, Abby! You know you don't belong on the Chancellor Estate, despite Chance's being gracious about it. A year from now Dominic will barely remember living there. Rip the bandaid off now before Dom actually does get attached to the place. Lily was having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, tee hee. Whatever. Don't back down, Devon. You may have control issues but so does she, and she doesn't care what you might lose in service of her power trip. Whoo chile, Lily was so out of pocket during that fight with Devon I wanted to reach into the TV and deliver five fingers to her face. But it was quite satisfying to watch her wannabe CEO ego get shredded. Victor. Adam just told you about yourself and now you're going to prove him 100% correct. Tiresome.

I think Audra was only acting as Tucker's spy at C-W. She was feeding him inside information for this scheme he had to take the Chancellor part of it away from Jill. It'll be telling whether Audra'll be a free agent now and what she'll do at NM. I can't see Tucker trying to use her at NM to take over NE. The Newman crime family is formidable and once word gets around they'll be suspicious of Audra. It seems to me like TPTB are desperate to keep Audra relevant so that's why they're moving her over to the Newman orbit. After the way they fumbled Amanda and Imani, and Allie has fizzled out, IMO YR isn't doing so great right now with characters who are women of color.

Quoting myself to say I take my gripe back. Eddie Murphy said some things at the 2023 Golden Globes last night and I don't think anyone saw it coming:

But Ashley, you had to give up the cooch to get ultimate clarity on Tucker. Jack has not fallen back into Diane's love canal. Not yet, anyway. So IMO you're looking like the bigger loser right now. Curb your smug. What happens if Diane doesn't complete the criming task Jeremy set for her by tomorrow? Does he finally kill her? Sure, right after he enjoys a hearty meal at Society while wearing a suit which says "manager of a luxury car dealership." Poor Tucker was getting read for filth left and right, lol. The only person who hasn't chewed him out is the barista at Crimson Lights. Look at Devon going into d!ck-swinging mode and ready to throw down with Jill. Step back, everybody. The C-W poop is about to collide with the air cooling device. 😏 "Mother/son trip." Whhhyyy are the MWTs doing this? Free Tara! Audra is fast on her feet. She quickly disarmed both Victoria and Nate, all the while knowing she likely has a limited amount of time before they get wise to her. Devon: Jill, I'm out of the C-W merger and my decision is final. I ate nails for breakfast so you're light work. Jill: curses! Darn those stubborn Kay Chancellor genes! Ghost Kay and Ghost Neil: heh, heh, heh. It's what we would've wanted. Victoria let Nate hire Audra into a C-suite position without doing a background check. She's just asking for Nick to find out the dirt on Audra and tattle to Victor. Sure hope Jack has a defense attorney on speed dial because Diane might leave him holding the bag after he helps her steal from Nikki right quick. Meanwhile, how will Stark know the jewelry belongs to Nikki?

And rather problematic IMO but this isn't the place to get into it. Podcast nerds represent!

Yeah, I think it would've been nine months ago. Everyone has made that joke now.

Wait, what? Jack is okay with Diane stealing from Nikki in order to prove herself to Stark. Ehhh. Apparently he's clueless on the concepts of aiding & abetting and co-conspiracy. Sigh. Ashley had on sheer black hose. I didn't realize that was fashionable again. Meanwhile, I don't understand why Phyllis changed outfits just to meet Daniel at the coffeehouse and whine about Summer. Tucker said secksay times with Ashley was fire. Are we to assume there was a burning sensation involved? He might want to get checked for STIs, lol. 🔥🔥🔥 Daniel, oy, getting between your sister and your mommy is not the way you want to go. You best stay out of it because Phyllis is nucking futz on the subject of Diane. Please, why would Tucker have hard copies of the Jabot info Diane purloined for him? Digitize it and put it in the cloud, ya moron. It's 2023, not 1923. Tucker brought down by a text tone. Unbelievable. Bet now he wishes Devon was still deaf, hah hah. Nate, Natey, Nate Nate Nate. If you're lucky Devon or Lily will warn you about Audra before you bring the corporate fox into the NM henhouse. Or not. I think Glam Club is weirdest nightclub ever. People go there all hours of the day or night to sit around nursing drinks and zoning out. It's basically a bar with gaudy couches and a dance floor. Phyllis and Tucker scheming together could be fun though.

Eject! Eject! Is Abby the one who has a "hostile womb" or does she just have too much scar tissue from when Ben's son Max pushed her down the stairs and she miscarried?

Yeesh, that's only slightly less bad than when characters have sex in an office and then just put their clothes back on and go back to work. So their bodily fluids are not only on the furniture but also on the documents, their devices, the phone, etc. It's disgusting, especially when they're not the only one using that stuff, such as the CEO offices in both NE and Jabot.

Lance really had his head stuck in sand about LJ. Guess he needed a scary wake-up call. I guess I missed why Quentin was wearing a caftan at the beginning of the episode. Or was it a dashiki? That last fight between Harper and Robyn was brutal. I actually recoiled. They just had to throw in the tired Will Smith line. Ugh. And Q was being more sarcastic than anything else. Mia is a precocious little angel. Meh, I feel like Robyn was willing to risk letting Mia suffer emotionally in order to punish Harper. She didn't have to move to a different continent to get away from him. Jasmine is stunning. She and Lance make a beautiful couple. I could see Yvonna Pearson playing Pam Grier if that biopic ever come to fruition. The ending was a bit of a let down to me. Harper won the Pulitzer Prize and that's the greatest achievement? Whatever. Oh no, no, FFS no. This series was dragged out enough IMO. I don't even think another movie would be a great idea at this point. But good on Taye Diggs for using his Hollywood clout to get his friends more jobs.

For years now I've noticed that whenever Christine is wearing a blazer or a suit jacket the sleeves usually extend over most of her hands. I thought maybe the show just wasn't fitting her wardrobe to her size but now I wonder if the sleeve length was meant to hide something. Hope she's okay.

I remember doing those reading contests and didn't particularly enjoy them. I was a good reader on my own and those contests often made me feel like reading was a chore. I guess I'm a big nerd because I listen to all the podcasts Jacob mentioned except The Daily. That one bores me. I'm at a loss to understand why Quinta gave Joe Budden the shout out. It'll be interesting to hear what Crissle and Kid Fury say about it on their podcast because they have been huge cheerleaders for this show and have had major beef with Budden. ASMR gives me the creeps but I would listen to an Ava podcast. Clarence's mom helping the kids start some ish, lol. But it's not as if Janine and Greg weren't in public, so...

Nick just shows up at Sally's room whenever he wants and acts like he's entitled to know what she's been doing. And Sally puts up with it. "Our son." On behalf of Tara: Grrr. Free Harrison's Real Mommy! I thought Jeremy was supposed to be broke so it's curious how he can afford fancy champagne. Also not sure how Jeremy would launder money through a club someone else owns. Was he thinking he'd buy Noah out? Maybe the reason Lily and Billy's therapy session went poorly is due to Billy's persistent manspreading. Ugh. Shut up, Summer. Stark hasn't done anything to hurt anyone actually, least of all you. Frankly, he's coming across more and more like a paper tiger to me. Lol, Sally needs to invest in a paper shredder. Cross-cut. Lucky for her Nick doesn't have great eyesight. But ya are, Jeremy. Ya are a sucker. Diane has already played you for one and you are out here looking like 2023's worst criminal. Nachos and guac seem kind of low-rent to me for a restaurant specializing in Cuban cuisine. Kyle, tell Summer she can go wherever she wants but Harrison is staying in GC. Yeesh, she's getting to be as hysterical as Phyllis over the Diane thing. Where is Billy living while Lily is taking time apart? Nikki? Diane, you must be joking. Nikki the Newman enforcer would kill you for realsies this time if you tried to come after her or her family. This has to be a feint.

Ehhh. I can definitely understand why Sharon would want that but not Chance. He could easily get women his own age, with no strings attached if he's feeling gun shy right now. He doesn't need the Mrs. Robinson treatment.

Maybe Mr. Brand New Ferragamos should watch where he's walking. Shoes can't be worth getting killed over. And then there's having $100k in cash sitting around in your apartment. I always roll my eyes when criminals get caught with large amounts of cash at home when there are ways to avoid it. I had no doubt the developer was guilty, I just don't think he would've been convicted because all the witnesses were compromised in some way. As it is he'll likely win on appeal. Cosgrove quoting from the Statue of Liberty was corny. How many times has that cliche been used on this show? McCoy looked refreshed compared to the first half of the season.

Oh, I loved Audra's straight hair. A good different look for her. But yuck, the C-W IPO garbage again. Whoa, did Jack highkey insinuate Ashley is a viper? To her face?!!!?? Abby has realized she no longer belongs at the Chancellor estate but Devon talked her out of the logical place she was going with that. Stay out of it, Devon. It's not your house either. Gah. Who is this new MWT who drops expressions like "halcyon days" in casual dialogue on a daytime soap opera? Though with his education Adam is probably one of few people in GC for whom talking like that makes sense I think. Yikes, Audra's skirt tho. From the back it looked like she'd accidentally sat in something. Or massively pooped herself after eating a vat of calamari. 🙀 The heck was that up and down sneer Summer threw at Diane right in front of Kyle? Girl, bye. Diane has tubes of lipstick with more substance than you. Darn, Tucker was the viper Jack was referring to. Jackie, you don't even know. Right now Tucker's a whole nest of snakes. Lily, Abby, and Tucker* were all wearing shades of purple today. It must be a hot color this season. Do it, Devon! Tell Lily you're taking your Hamilton/Winters ball and going home. Let her try to suck up to Jill with that bad news. Abby's just now taking off her wedding rings. Ehhhh. AFAIC she should've tossed those as soon as Chance caught her writhing naked underneath Devon. Ashley. Went. In. on Jack about Diane. Went in, poured some gasoline, and set his hiney on fire, lol. How exactly is sourpuss Summer going to take Harrison to Europe? She's not his mother. Kyle better shut that nonsense down. Grrr. Tucker and Audra using the same ring tone for each other. ATFKMWTS? *ETA: Worn on TV says Lily and Abby's outfits were blue, not purple.

OMG, Dominic's cap matched his little sweater. The future ruler of all the elite GC families has definitely got that toddler swagger. 🤠 If it's Wednesday, Ashley must be talking shite about Jack. Ugh, shut up, Ash. And what's the deal with your weird top? Heh, it sounded like Dom was supposed to start crying when Tucker was holding him but this time neither of the twins did. It made Devon's remarks about Dominic being cranky seem like he was just making excuses. So was Summer running all over town looking for her mommy? Pathetic. Especially when Phyllis is basically saying Summer has no right to disagree with her. Summer can't see how Phyllis is emotionally abusing her. Diane: Jack, Kyle, we have to do this my way. Only I know how to scam Jeremy. Do you trust me? The World : is that a rhetorical question, Diane? Because otherwise, we're going to have to see how far we can throw you. Abby, your mommy is a growna$$ woman. Whatever goes on between her and Tucker is exactly that: between Ashley and Tucker. Get back in your glass house, you cheating cheater. Wonder if Tucker, Diane, Sally, Phyllis, Danny, Jeremy, or Adam ever run into each other in the elevator at the Glacier Panini? Awkward. Okay, who told TPTB we wanted to see another couch sex scene starring Abby and Devon? Bleh. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 If Amanda's smart she'll change her phone number, lol. Phyllis will probably fill up the voicemail with never-ending rants about how no one will listen to her about Diane.

Sigh, this ^^^ is probably right. Chelsea is diabolical and is likely playing 3-D chess here, with Billy, Lily, Johnny, Connor, Adam, and Victoria as the main pieces. It would be amazing if she pulled this off and ended up with Billy, Johnny, and Connor as her new little family unit. "Amazing" as in "drugging and raping someone, and then having their baby pays off...eventually. According to Y&R, anyway." Sure isn't. He used to say that he liked the way she would ad lib her lines sometimes because it kept him on his toes. Right. She intimidated him, plain and simple. (And outside of improv, seems to me not being and staying on script would be considered unprofessional.😐) I think in the early years of Phack he did elevate her performance. But it seemed like after they moved her over to Nick and Sharon's storyline, PB had less influence on her. Then when she returned from GH, forget about it. Now it's like she does whatever she wants and in some scenes her acting sticks out like a sore thumb, IMO.

Danny's facial scruff was giving me a Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones vibe. And not in a good way. "Cricket." AKA, The Bug. Now there's a blast from the past. Good times! Lily and Nick rarely have scenes together. Chem test? Heh, I'd put a heap of cash on a bet that pairing will never happen. The CC and the voiceover had Chelsea saying Billy was treating her like a pity case. However, her lips mouthed something else. Pity pot? Pity party? Is it common for prospective birth mothers to fly in potential adoptive parents for interviews? Good thing Tessa and Mariah can afford to do that. Gonna have to take back some of the trash I've talked about Chelz. I would've expected her to swoop in for the kill once she knew Billy was single, but instead she pushed him to fix things with Lily. Okay. Christine didn't pull any punches during her convo with Danny; she still can't stand Phyllis. (With good reason!) So I simply don't get why she's following Phyllis on social media. Don't do it, Lily! Stop casting your pearls before that walking, talking porcine pool of regurgitated slop.
