Kurt came back at just the right time because Diane is probably looking even harder for a way to cheat with her doctor. Wait until Kurt meets him. OMG, it felt like I'd stopped breathing for minute. I know the producers wanted to make a point but I don't think TGF needs to do graphic stuff like that. This isn't an action movie. A $10,000 suit, drinking a $900 bottle of wine. Guess Ri'Chard is an adherent of the Prosperity Gospel. Heh, Diane incorrectly assumed the blonde woman was her doctor's significant other. Now she can go back to crushing on him. Marissa threaded the perjury avoidance needle like a pro when she had to give her testimony in Eli's case. She didn't quite lie but her version of the truth was probably more narrow than the prosecutor realized. She's her father's daughter all right. It was heartbreaking when Eli drove away and Marissa started praying for him, with the moment undercut by that antisemitic chant. AC should get an Emmy nomination just for look on his face as he was being driven away from the sound of those bigots. Over on reddit there's a theory floating that Eli ordered the hit on guy who was shot in front of him. The thought is that a professional hit man would a) know what his target looks like, and b) not miss a close shot. If Eli did do it, boy does he have nerves of steel. He was inches away from actually taking that bullet himself if the shooter had gotten jostled by accident.

The color scheme of Noah's club is utterly garish to me. Perhaps he should add some poles and a couple of strippers. O hai, Chance. 😏 Aw, poor Victoria. Life is so tough for her. She desperately needed the slobbering tongue bath her mommy gave her today. 🙄 Billy, you can't promise Johnny nothing is going to change. Now that Chelsea's in the mix anything can happen. She is such a wild card the ace of spades runs away when it sees her coming. OMG Sharon is the biggest gossip. It doesn't seem like she truly keeps anyone's confidences except Nick's. And the sad thing is, she thinks she's being helpful when she's spreading people's dirt around. Looks like Victoria and Billy might need to consider getting a restraining order on Chelsea. No way should she be stalking a child and forcing him to interact with her. Way to drive your husband away, Abby. You better stop being such a nag. Chance could drop you like a hot potato and have someone new the next day. Because he has all the hotness. Connect the dots, Adam. Chelsea's fixation on Johnny didn't start until Rey died, she stopped working as a designer, and Billy ended their podcast partnership. Idleness is the devil's workshop and Chelsea is one of Satan's elves. Whee, Johnny has the Newmans' patented "fcuk off" dismissive demeanor down pat. Crazypants Chelsea was not prepared. Wait, Chance, you just came from Crimson Lights and having coffee with Abby. Lying to Chelsea isn't a great idea. Besides, she's been practically living there lately and she's wearing out her welcome. I bet Nikki's going to talk Noah into seeking funding from the investment company Tucker secretly owns. Noah's ex Audra working for that company in London is too much of a coincidence. And now she's Jill's IPO manager? Yeah, Tucker is definitely after C-W. Oh please, now Chelsea thinks they're doing an intervention on her. If only, hon. Re next week's previews: apparently Ashley isn't going to be thrilled to see her former lover. Contrite Tucker has his work cut out for him. 💔

Lol, maybe Noah should hire Gotye to do an appearance and dedicate it to Audra: And then Tucker shows up in Lily's office like a ghost. Or a vampire. He might be a quart low, hah hah. Abby needed a better bra. Her girls were sagging around waist level. Meanwhile, seriously, Abby? Your mom is a grown-a$$ woman and can decide for herself whether she wants to see Tucker or not. What are you going to do to stop it, hit him with your car again? Wow, Lily has another Louboutin tote bag, in a different color. I see you Miss Thing. Dru would be so proud. I really don't like how Sally talks to Nick about her feelings for Adam. Those are some bad boundaries and Nick shouldn't be encouraging it. But I guess now he thinks it helps give him the upper hand over Adam. Sure hope Allie is ready for a catfight because it looks like Audra wants Noah back. No shame in Audra's game, just sitting there in the club knocking back cocktails and shooting eye lasers. I did like Abby's shorts suit though. The shorts were a good length and the fabric looked heavy enough to wear into fall before it gets too cold. Lily described Chelsea as smart, ambitious, and attractive. Well, one out of three ain't bad. Chelsea's reach always seems to fall far short of her grasp, to everyone's peril. Finally! Sharon delivered Chelsea the real talk she's so desperately needed. Chelz' mental health is past due for some shrinking. What's the GC version of a 5150? Devon, you better hope Tucker is going to step into that C-W IPO. He might be the only thing standing between you and Lily becoming NE employees.

Really? Chelsea is pure selfishness, putting her emotional needs before those of her son(s). And she still doesn't think she did anything wrong by pushing this information on Johnny and Connor that they clearly didn't want, not yet anyway. I have a hard time seeing how anyone could sympathize with her. Now Nick is another story. I guess we're always supposed to view the Newmans as winners but what Nick is doing to/with Sally makes me sick. She may think she's a willing participant in their fling but she's not. She knows her job is on the line and the power is in Nick's hands. Lucky for her he's so easily swayed by cooch. Again, I just hope she's extremely conscientious about her contraceptive use because AFAIC she does not need to be tied to Nick forever via his kid. Yeah, you'd think Bentleys were the epitome of vehicular travel. Going by the rap and hip/hop artists, it's Maybachs and Italian sports cars, or maybe a Rolls SUV. And I can't help but wonder what kinds of cars the Newmans drive if Nikki thinks Diane being in a Bentley is such a huge deal. Maybe she's jealous.

Is Cristal, the manager of the Glory Pole, also the maître d' of Noah's new spot? Nah, that couldn't have been her. Surely she doesn't need two jobs. "It was something I felt I had to do." Really, Chelsea? When has that ever been a valid excuse for anything? Police: why did you rob this bank, Mr. Bank Robber? MBR : well, it was something I felt I had to do. Police: oh, okay then! Carry on! Chelsea: Connor! Why did you set the ranch on fire? Connor: I dunno, it was something I felt I had to do. Billy: Johnny, why did you swat Chelsea's hotel room? You could've gotten her killed, or at least seriously injured. Johnny: gee, Chelsea, I guess it was something I felt I had to do. You know what that's like, right? Chelsea: <gulp> Sally comparing notes on Adam and Nick. Girl, bye. "Oooh, Nick! Your younger brother does not do it this way!" 🙄 I'm trying to recall the word for when people go to great lengths to draw associations between things which aren't rrelated. Any ideas, Nikki? Phyllis? Bueller? Geez, those two yentas definitely need to get a hobby. The little nightclub that could. Noah must be aiming it at GC's middle-aged crowd because I don't see young 20-somethings wanting to party with people their parents' ages. Other than sugar babies, anyway. Adam, your still being in love with Sally is not Nick's problem. Sorry, dude. There's a spumor afloat that Tucker is dying. Today Tucker told Diane you never know how much time you have left. Hmmm. 🤔 Now you want to DTR, Sally? Now? Time and place, hon. Nick gets easily distracted by bright lights and loud noises so maybe you want to move that conversation to somewhere more private. Or not. Ehh, the way this Audra person talks just bugs me. Her diction seems so affected and over-enunciated. Whatever, here comes the troubles for Allie and Noah. Sigh. Heh. Where is the lie tho?

It's been announced in various soap media that there's another older male character coming to Genoa City Per Soaphub: Passions Star James Hyde Joins Y&R as a Man from Diane’s Past From the article Apparently the actor came to the attention of TPTB when he read for another role. I'm betting it was Tucker or Ashland. Whatever, he is quite a looker, and it sounds like he has an extensive resume on daytime soaps. Yay for us!

Good grief, did Bentley pay for product placement on Y&R? Not that we're likely to see one on this cheap show but now the word "Bentley" seems to be mentioned two or three times per episode. I liked Elena's burgundy tote bag. It was big and sturdy enough for her to fill with bricks and swing at Nate's fat head. Perhaps it would knock some sense into him. Tucker is considered a GC corporate elite? He doesn't live there, nor does he have a business there unless Tucker McCall Unlimited is mobile. Was Nick was blathering nonsense again? Gah, Elena and Nate, have some class and stop airing out your personal business in public. Especially in the coffeehouse when Sharon's not even there to give you some of her dime-store therapy. Do it, Elena! Tell Devon what Nate is up to. Your repeated attempts to talk around it will likely make Devon become more and more curious. Then if he finds out on his own and realizes you knew already, that won't be good for you. Lol, was there any woman OG Tucker didn't sleep with in GC? He was like Brad Carlton 2.0 but with tons of $$$$$. Diane's been feeding Tucker info on Ashley. Again, Tucker could easily contact Ashley directly. Why use an intermediary, and one Ashley can't stand? Nate sure was schmoozing Esther hard. If Esther's going to be the C-suite receptionist she'll be privy to a lot of the inner workings of C-W. Where will her loyalties lie if she notices something shady going on? Hmmm. Costa Rica for the renewlyweds' honeymoon. Is it not hurricane or typhoon season there right now? Well, I'm surprised they're putting Victor in a scene with Tucker already. Guess EB has to up his game with this new young whippersnapper on the scene. 😉

Probably the reason RA can't float is because he doesn't have enough body fat. Those NFT people are using Micah because of his parents. Of course. Yet he doesn't seem to care. Is he that desperate for attention? Four rounds of IVF had to be expensive. I barely remembered the trans character. It was nice of them to bring the actor back before the show ends. Blue hacked into the school system! And had the nerve to be unapologetic about it. Are we sure he's not biologically related to Nova? Sure hope Vi and Hollywood aren't going to get raided by ICE or DHS one day. Wow, Darla's old college friend sure was rude. She zeroed right in on Blue's age and when he would've been conceived. Who does that? Prosper got down on one knee! Yay!

Sex, food, music, cross-examination. Priorities. Ri'Chard haz dem. (Guess he told Jesus to hit the road.) This episode was quite timely given the controversy in the NFL right now about players taking the field despite their potentially dire medical conditions. The Royal Pains reunion was cute. TMW you have to threaten your bad guy client with your even badder guy client. Go on, Carmen. Still predicting Diane will end up getting with her drug therapist unless her husband comes back. Over on reddit they're suggesting Carmen for her own spin-off show to fill the gap left by Better Call Saul. I'd watch it. The producers would probably have Marissa as her co-star though. Ehhh.

^^^There needs to be a FOAD emoji. (Directed at someone on that article page. not you my dear boes.) I read the TSJ interview and it was fine but then I scrolled down the page and there was one with the actor who played Dylan on Y&R. Ugh. AFAIC no one should be giving that guy any air.

And why would he keep it? Was he expecting to need some blackmail info about Diane one day?

So is Tucker staying at the GCAC? His suite doesn't seem as modern and minimalistic as the ones at the Geocache Ponytail. Wonder if Harrison is having flashbacks of when he was the ring bearer at Ashland and Victoria's wedding? Poor kid, it's like that's his job now. Billy wasn't stuck at a meeting, he was at the wedding. Did Chelsea lie to Connor or did Billy lie to her? Whatever, the young actor who plays Connor makes very expressive "ew" faces. 🤠 Since when does the GCAC have a helipad on the roof? The pool and bar would make that difficult, no? Chelsea sure doesn't make dumb kids. Both Connor and Johnny saw through her "you have a brother!" b.s. right away and called her on it. That's some wedding gift, Tucker's hand-me-down Bentley. It's probably packed with illegal drugs or dirty cash. Or photos of whatever Diane was doing in LA, hah hah. Stay nasty, Nikki. But Jack shouldn't have expected any different from her, at least not on the Diane front. Oh noes! Diane was seen riding around L.A. in a Bentley! It's the first sign of the Apocalypse! 🙄 I sure hope Tucker is indeed in GC to eff with the C-W IPO. He might be the one to save Devon and Lily's (and Jill's) hides from the Newman's shady grab of their "family" company. Pssht, it'll take more than Billy's makeshift scream therapy to fix nutbag Chelsea. At this point I think she needs a brain transplant. One would think Tucker has the resources to contact Ashley in Paris directly instead of going through the Abbott family or Diane. Hmm.

Yeah, Miles did a great Peyton Manning, and I say that as someone who isn't a fan of PM. The Adam Levine portrayal needed more neck and face tattoos. Dave Chappelle already did that be real joke. It was called When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong. The sketch with the two doofus guys in the bar who had no game had me laughing so hard. I imagine the belt Kendrick Lamar was wearing in his first song is the height of fashion but wow did it look uncomfortable to me. I couldn't imagine sitting very long in that thing. Is the new cast member Michael Longfellow transgender? Whatever, he was pretty good on WU. Bowen killed it as the Spotted Latternfly. He really goes all in. Keep stompin', bitch! Bisexual maybe-not-so-happy Grimace was jacked, lol. Frank Ocean is not related to Billy Ocean. Good to know. Not bad for a season opener. When I heard a number of veteran cast members had left I was prepared for the worst. But Miles did well and he can come back the next time he has a project to promote.

Crown: The gift that unfortunately keeps on giving. Looks like Lou didn't do himself any favors by killing him. Jason Dirden! Haven't seen him much since Greenleaf. Wonder if LeToya Luckett was his connect on Power, hah hah. (They played siblings on Greenleaf.) Cartier still giving Raq How to be Bougie lessons. When is she going to kill this guy? Kanan didn't realize the cost of borrowing that gun was literally going to be Palomar. But isn't he underaged? He doesn't care but she should. That kid in Juke's bible study group has zero gaydar. Poor guy. But I wonder if Kenya put him onto her in an attempt to "straighten" Juke out. Lou out here messing up Raq's money. He's begging for big trouble if/when she finds out. Oops, unhelpful Howard got the wrong snitch killed. Poor Scrappy. Ruh roh, Raq is moving in on Cartier's territory. That's not going to end well. OMG, Symphony, how can we miss you if you don't leave? Kanan seemed a little hurt when he found out Symphony was moving to NC for a new job. But maybe this will finally be the last we see of that guy. 😐 Burke pulling over Symphony on no real pretext was odd. Good thing he knew how to handle himself under pressure. Wait, Raq was Howard's CI when she was a teenager? Forget the underaged part, who was she ratting on? Perhaps that's how she built her business, by letting the police remove her competition. Dang, Palomar is stone cold-blooded. She had to have known her daughter would be coming home eventually and catch her in bed with Kanan. What did that prove? Countdown until Lou is being hung by his ankles over the railing at Suge Knight's Cartier's penthouse. He's dancing with the devil and he knows it. Zisa is just an annoyance. Rough way for Toni to go out. But geez, talk about the gang who couldn't shoot straight. And since that one mob guy is still alive, Marvin's going to have both the cops and the Italians after him now. You need to listen to your girlfriend, Burke. You're snooping around in some stuff you really don't want to know. That was very kind what Juke did for Nicole's father. WHAT!!!???! Raq's got bigger loose ends than Symphony. Much bigger. Yeah, I was puzzled by that too. Apparently she doesn't need to be putting up with either Raq or Unique. Her mousy behavior at the convenience store makes no sense.

I've seen it joked elsewhere that Taylor had three attorneys working for her: Joseph, Michael, and Xavier (last year's winner). Joseph handled the jury house, Michael got rid of the key houseguests before he got evicted himself, and Xavier made sure she got the most AFP votes. Wonder if BB will start thinking about not casting any lawyers for a while, lol.

Don't, you know, where her mother eats. Charter school doppelgänger. You don't quit Martha or the Vandellas will slash your tires. Water ice. Another new thing I learned from this show. Petering out is not of the Lord! I liked how at the end Janine both showed concern for dejected Gregory and subtly eased in to fill the gap left by Taylor. On another kind of sitcom she would've been a lot more aggressive about it. I know that's right. He's the reason I haven't seen any of the Guardian of the Galaxy movies. Truly the Worst Chris. Yes it was, and I thought it was a surprisingly softer look for her. Usually she's all about the sexy bodycon stuff.

Yeah, I was being kind of tongue-in-cheek about that. The L&O writers surely don't have the nerve to go that far. (However, some viewers on reddit saw what the brother did as a possible take on "honor killing." That's not really a thing in predominant American culture though; it's generally treated as straight up murder.) I'm not so sure the girl's family would've allowed her to get an abortion under any circumstances, despite their being wealthy and powerful enough to get it done secretly. Otherwise, there were much closer places she could've gone than New York. The whole TX versus NY thing seemed too on-the-nose to me.

Okay, now Y&R has issued a 50th Anniversary promo which includes all of the current cast members: It goes by pretty fast but I don't think I noticed anyone missing. Maybe someone will put a copy on YouTube and we can watch a slowed-down version. Had to laugh at the "50 reasons to celebrate" headline though. Per that promo there's only about 36.

Oh wow, Mechad Brooks has gained a noticeable amount of weight since I last saw him on Necessary Roughness ten years ago. I almost didn't recognize him. Whaaaat? The governor of TX suggesting the feds might need step into a local criminal investigation? Not bloody likely. 🙄 Fifteen minutes in I'm betting it was the boyfriend who killed the girl. (ETA: Oh well, guess not.) Holy crap, that TX family was something else. The mother sent the son to kill her daughter--his sister--just to protect the father's political career. Well that ending was some unfortunate both sides-ism, IMO. The writers had to even things out by killing the pro-choice activist? Ehh, I might have to give up on this show. (Though I agree with comments upthread that it would've made more sense if the activist had been shot when she got back to TX. The steps of that NYC courthouse have become too much the cliché.) I doubt it since he played a pro football player on Necessary Roughness. I'm guessing here on L&O it's just extra pounds and his being momentarily out of shape.

Swallowing nuclear waste makes your skin glow? Good to know. Embezzling, prostitution, and mild cannibalism. That old lady bank guard was a riot. Tampon bombs. Hope that's the last we see of Fabian.

It's always something with RA, and of course he won't listen to reason from Darla. He always knows best. 🙄 The tech bros are indeed getting their grift on as far as NFTs are concerned. Micah's probably gonna learn the hard way. Why did it sound like Nova wasn't being totally honest with Dominic about where she was all night? I'm betting she was cheating on him with Mo. Ring shout. Learn something new every day. Hey, it's Lamman Rucker. Haven't seen him since Greenleaf. Now Dominic is having thoughts about Nova's bisexuality? I think that's the least of the concerns with her. Maybe he should be worried about how Nova can so easily justify hurting the people closest to her if she otherwise benefits in some way. Just the cost of doing business for Nova.

Back when Ilanya Vanzant had a talk show she brought on a man who'd had 34 children by 17 different women. Maybe Nick is gunning for that guy's record. 🙄 Really though, I think what Nick is doing is incredibly sad for those children and wish he would seek professional help. There must be something off with him psychologically for him to keep doing this like there won't eventually be emotional repercussions for the kids. (Such as abandonment issues.)

Wait, Nikki now knows she's alive? Isn't that kind of a big deal, at least for certain people in GC? Ugh, I sure hope that's the end of it because if they bring that character/actress back over to Y&R, I'm out. She's the reason I dropped B&B. Whee! Seriously though, I kept trying to recall whether the Abbott"s back yard is big enough to land a helicopter. There's a pool and a pool house back there but those should be right next to where the wedding is happening. Whatever, it is stupid because odds are slim we'll actually see a helicopter on this cheap show. At least that one time Jill landed on the Chancellor Estate's front acreage they showed video of a helicopter touching down from a distance.

He was also born the same day as Jill. JW still looks great but she's not passing for someone the same age as TSJ. I guess the history between Tucker and Jill (and Kay) has been wiped away now because age-wise most of it doesn't work. I would've liked RB as Tucker. He'd be more believable to me as someone who got with groupies like Devon's mommy. I'm going back and forth on TSJ as Ashland. He just doesn't come across to me as this notorious international business mogul though I think he does have the right bad guy demeanor. Probably. But I also think a lot of those early scenes between Allie and Diane back in LA don't make sense if they've been in cahoots all this time. Perhaps Allie wasn't recruited until later and we haven't seen those scenes yet. I really hope Allie doesn't turn out to be a villain because I want her and Noah to be the next Abbott/Newman marriage, and I want their wedding to be huge. In a church, not in someone's back yard or Chancellor Park or a hotel ballroom. Listen up, TPTB. Right? And it seems to be happening in a matter of weeks. Don't IPOs usually take months to plan and execute? Especially for an entity the size of C-W. That'd be like doing an IPO on General Motors or Google if they were still private companies. Yes! That made no sense and I wondered if MS grabbed someone else's line. Seems to me Abby would've even called her brother Nick (the father of the bride) before she called Phyllis. I wonder why TPTB are being so cagey about it? Or do they assume everyone uses the closed captioning by default, or reads the spoilers/recaps and figured it out on their own.? Tucker is not some momentous character and TSJ is not a hallowed actor who needed to be introduced in such a way. The show has really setting up big expectations for Tucker's storyline and TSJ's portrayal of him. Sure. OMG. Assassinated.

Diane looking fierce! Her low-level Marchetti job must pay well for her to be able to afford that dress. Yet again, it's a scary day when Nick is the voice of reason. But Victor and Victoria were like, "Feds, schmeds. We do crimes all day every day. We're the Newmans!" Something about Audra seems a bit too smarmy to me. And what was she doing pushing up on Nate before she even knew whether he was single or not? I don't get Elena's loyalty to Nate. Now that they've separated IMO there's no reason for her not to give Devon or Lily a heads-up on Nate's scheme to take over C-W. Well Nate, technically you aren't in a relationship. You and Elena are on a break, remember? Sounds like he might be a little scared of Audra, hah hah. Is it me or was the B&B and Y&R crossover kind of weak? It doesn't seem like it moved anything forward on B&B and on Y&R all Nikki got was a photo of a fancy car Diane's been seen in. Yawn. Ugh, Phyllis' dress was a bad joke. I guess no one would tell her what the wedding's color scheme was so she decided to wear all of them. Bad form of her to try to upstage the bride in a loud outfit. Oh Lily, boy are you going feel foolish when you find out what Nate is pulling against you and Devon. You truly have blinders on. If you're lucky Devon will be suspicious enough to figure it out, or your legal team will advise you not to let the key shareholders sell their stock immediately. Nikki's dress was a nice bright color but an iffy design to me. I thought Victoria looked like she had wrapped a bolt of fabric around her bony body and stapled it together. 😼 Looks like Tucker is going after the Abbotts--or Jabot--and Diane was the one-person advance team. Okay, I'm interested. 😏 Oy, Summer's dress. Yeah, that's a Forrester creation all right. Stuporgirl looked to me like she's going to be a seat-filler at an LA awards show. Yikes. No Ashley, no Abby and Chance, no Lily or Devon or Nate, no Victor or Adam, no Sharon. This wedding redux almost seems like an afterthought since so many key cast members won't be included. Kind of a sad way to kick off YR's 50th anniversary year, I think. Re next week's previews: Audra is Noah's ex? I can't see that at all. She would've eaten emo boy Noah alive. But hey, is Tucker arriving at the Abbotts' in a helicopter? Way to make an entrance, lol.
