Friday Rant: Glad they fixed the timeline, that is to say, now we just ignore it. Nikki and her new look is so distracting. I spend too much time trying to figure out which clown in Ringling Bros. she reminds me of. (Pinchy the Lipless Clown?) Did anyone actually write the ending for the Damsels in Distress scenario? It doesn't really seem to be going anywhere. I still want them to shave each other bald. Why, oh, why would Nate, Amy and Lily want to have anything to do with the personality disorder that is Damian? Ok, he knows you're sick, Amy, and he doesn't give two f*cks. He's still blaming you and he won't forgive you. Move on. People have been know to disown their kids. At least write him out of the will. Who cares what Secrets he's hiding? Send him back to LA. I'm getting queasy watching the back and forth with Kyle/Claire/Summer. These are grown-ass adults (ok, that's possibly a judgement call) who should be able to handle their own affairs. We know Summer has no discernable wit since she prefers Kyle over Chance, so maybe that explains it. At least Chance didn't divorce her for her lies about her mum's whereabouts/fake death. And he, knowing about her lies, still wants to date/screw her anyway. Plus, he's a lot better looking. Viktor can stay the hell out of everyone's life. If he's pushing the Kyle/Summer Reunion Tour for Harrison's sake, then he may want to remember that the kid is only related to one person in the trio-An Abbott! Does he really want an Abbott! grandchild? #freeTara And while I'm on Viktor....can he please stop saying BillyBoyAbbott every time he refers to him. It's worse than 'Jagabbott'.

I spent several years with my two boys in Little League and 'ritualistic' is not something of which I was aware. Guess I need a definition of what ritualistic is to Chelz and how she knows it so prevalent in high school baseball. If arriving on time for practice/games and not forgetting your cup are ritualistic, then, yeah, maybe Connor will have to use his tools. My burning question is when are they going to let this kid make his own decisions? He got help and learned how to cope. His parents: Didn't. If I'm ever in GC I'm using DoorDash. No way I want to sit in any eatery/drinkery with all these nitwits airing their views on each other and G-rampire blustering veiled threats to the Abbotts. Stay home! Use a social media platform to dis your enemies! Just stay out of public places!

I don't think you have to worry about an insider/leak if you name your company Abbott Communications and then parade all over town announcing it. Jack should be worrying about the actual insider/leakers in his own company.

This is why I'm going with Boes suggestion of Lauren/Michael behind it. They actually believe that Phyllus can change.

Is the White Lotus the only restaurant in town? I would think he'd stay away from any and all White Lotus venues.

Must be 70's Flashback week. Billy's shirt did not go well with his haircut (modified duck tail?) and Damian's wardrobe brought me memories of Ultra Suede.

Must have been the day for Ugly Sweaters. Holden's looked as if he borrowed it from a pre-teen cousin. She will never miss it, btw. I'm on board with this. It makes a lot of sense and since there hasn't been much cruelty to our feisty detainees (i.e., maggots in the food, brackish drinking water, rats, restraints) I'm ruling out Ian and/or Jordan. Nick is too present in GC to be emceeing at The Looney Bin and Daniel...well, does he really give a sh!t if the girls kiss and make up? Maybe Lauren (and Michael) just want this stupid feud to be over so they can have both their friends in the same room. Although, after the way Phyllus treated them when Michael represented Sharon, I can't imagine why they would want to have anything to do with her.

Today's rant was going to be about the TimeWarpLine since we are going back and forth in time with 'a couple of days since the shooting' that happened near early January (per Michael just this week) and several characters referencing that it is past Valentine's Day (Phyllus, also just this week). I have decided that the writers have all gone Interstellar on us and have actually learned how to bend time. All you need is a Black Hole which this show is. But I have other rants! Lily is so smug and it is matched only by her naivete. She doesn't like/trust Viktor and Nikki but she gives Viktor a foot in the door to Winter's business. He's a Vampire-they have to be asked in and that's what you did, Lils. Damian and his logic. Mom wasn't there 24/7 at daddy's bedside. Oh, right, she was out working and trying not to go to pieces for her kid. Boo hoo, ya little sh!t. And even when you find this out, you still prioritize getting into Lily's knickers over making it up with yer ma. (The only reason he's having dinner with Amy is because it impresses Lily.) The Escape Room scenario sucks. Period. Give me Saw. I wanna see these beetches get serious. I wanna see some puzzles that draw blood. At the very least, have them shave each other bald. Please stop letting Sharon ramble on with her neurotic narratives. The wispy voice she uses to bolster her courage is a contradiction. Chelz and Adam. Blah. I use to like Adam but this pushmepullyou relationship is s.t.u.p.i.d. "Oh, we have to take it slow-let me lay this wet kiss on you-but don't read anything into it." AYFKMWTS? It's not even decent foreplay. Like, do either of them have any other romantic choices? And because it can't be said enough: fix the damn timeline.

Yeah, think I'll go watch Squid Game.

Amen to the amen. I don't really want to see Ian or Jordan back, but if show is going to tease us with Who Stole The Mommies, then I, too, want to know if Ian is alive and how that is freaking possible. And maybe I wasn't following closely enough, but what good was trying to get everyone to remember when they last saw Phyl and Shar together? How does that information help find them? And they didn't even have the decency to order a drink when they took up seats at the bar. Then they moved the screaming match to CL. No wonder there never seem to be a lot of customers in the eateries/drinkeries of GC. Who wants to listen to the Rich People Rag while you're eating?

Speculation being that Ian Ward has something to do with this makes no sense.* Actually, Ian Ward being alive makes no sense. Kyle has established the Timewarpline for us by acknowledging that 'Valentine's day is past' so we are now in late Feb or possibly early March. That would mean Ian has been alive and well for almost a month. It also means that no one has noticed he's missing or informed people to whom he poses a threat, in all that time. Is he another vampire, living in the morgue drawer and coming out at night to terrorize the reigning cougars of GC? What possible motivation does he have for kidnapping these two? I would be happy if he staged their demise to be a Suicide Pact or even made it look as if they killed each other fighting. Anything but the mustache twirling villainy that the writers seem to love. * I know, I know. Expecting Sense comes under the "really, Molly?" heading

Friday Rant: Lily is back, yay, and she seems to have learned from the Chancellor takeover/debacle. I like how she sneered at Viktor and Nikki's 'apology'(?) and didn't seem amenable to forgiving and forgetting, per Nikki's instructions/demands. BUT THEN she asks Viktor for a favor!!! Why, oh, why would you want to owe him a favor and have him peeking into your family's business (that you know he will bank to use against you later)? You can hire a private investigator. Paul's not busy-call him. Then we have Lily bantering with this evolving stalker, Damian. She should shut him down and apply for a restraining order. I wouldn't want to be involved with a man who 'fell' for me when I bumped into him and then told him "Watch where you are going" or put hooking up with me over reconciliation with his dying mother. Why can't Chance have a decent storyline instead of kowtowing to the Newman's? He and Michael should team up and find legal ways to incarcerate the whole clan. (Obstruction of justice, abetting a death/murder, false imprisonment, kidnapping, etc.) I keep wondering who is taking care of Harrison when D-ummer is out eating (and sounding off about how everything is about 'her son' and not Kyle) while at the same time Kyle is out eating with Victor and the former nanny (who has not been replaced). Does Mrs. Martinez live in? Because Jack and Diane weren't home, either. Continuity: There is none on this show. The timewarpline being a prime example. What the fuck day is it? What the fuck month? And the "I can't believe we need reservations upstairs" from Michael was a cute way to get the dancing and into the sexy, until the RedBeast Twins got a table right away. Does anybody read these scripts more than once?

What a maroon! Guess now that Ian is mostly dead Chance has some time on his hands. Doesn't someone have to be gone at least 24 hours before they are officially 'missing'? The kids haven't even broken into her room to see if she is just on her computer, obsessing over her new and wonderful ideas for Abbott Communications. Must be nice to use the GCPD as your own personal detective agency. Ah, privilege....

Well, it has only been a couple of days since the shooting according to the TimewarpLine that the writers are using. Very happy that Michael chose his wife over Viktor. I would have reached through my tv and beat the stupid out of him with his phone if he'd answered it. But, but, that's exactly what he is. I stand by my recent suggestion that he should have a full Welcome to Medicare workup with emphasis on dementia and Alzheimers. Maybe a brain scan, or two. Then maybe the rest of the family that enables his shit could get their noggins examined, as well. The make-up people aren't her friends, either. It looks so harsh and with her hair slicked back makes her look older. Maybe she should try some rose-scented powder. That should soften things up.

Wait til she finds out what he did (and still wants to do to Jordan if she was alive) with the imprisonment. If my parent/grandparent was exhibiting such delusions of grandeur/power and shouting at and threatening everyone who disagrees with him, I'd have him checked out for early onset dementia or Alzheimers. The boy ain't right.

Because all Paris apartments look alike and have accordian music playing Happy Day in Paris in the background.😜 You're assuming NE has an HR department. They interviewed her (and offered the job) at lunch in Society.

Friday Rant: Still no follow up on Ian. Cruel and unusual to keep him in a drawer for so long if he's really alive. If he escaped the morgue, wouldn't the authorities Chance have informed the Newmans by now? I have a hard time envisioning Phyllus as sexy and desirable and a great asset to whateverthefck Billy is doing. Does she not see Sally? How ya gonna compete with that? Billy repeating ad nauseum his plans for his wonderful, ground breaking, innovative, ya da ya da ya da company without saying what those plans actually are. And if all it takes to launch a world class company is money/backing and staff, then the corporate world is in bigger trouble than I thought. Totally over the Amy is Sick story and Nate being the Saviour and Peacemaker. Cage match Damian and his ailing mom, already. Really hating dropped or nonsensical story lines that leave us wondering if we fell asleep during the show and actually missed something. (Still wondering about that water bottle of Tessa's.) Please stop Sharon from apologizing and saying she knows how hard it is for everyone to accept her exoneration. Just shut her up. Finally, the time line. Are we still a week out from New Year's?

Whoo boy, we've been on a NYE timeline for a month and a half-so we should be about five or six days after New Years. How the f*ck did we get to VDay this fast? 🎶Let's do the Time Warp, again..🎶

Yay! I just hope they are not brother and sister or that Tucker is Holden's father.

Yes, that's what we have been led to believe, but I'm on the side of innocent until proven guilty. So far we have his name, Damian (and what did you expect when you named him that, Amy?), the fact that he has two companies that he kept his ownership secret about, [note: secret to people who lied to him) and doesn't explain anything about himself to those people who lied to him. He has an henchman who doesn't seem too scary. Until I see a weapon, I'm counting Holden as friend. And just because my mind remembered it: what is the Count of Monte Cristo tie-in? Does that make him an evil-doer?

Let's see, scissors, (ambulance) lighter fluid, an octopus, disguises for impersonating servers at GCAC, a bucket of lip gloss, manual on how to insinuate yourself into any relationship, a change of torso-baring clothing and her Buy-10-Get-One-Free card from Crimson Lights.

Exactly. I might be able to understand his anger better if we knew what it was about. As it stands, it's black hat vs white hat. Damian is the bad guy and Nate is the good guy solely based on the present circumstances. If we had a little more information on Amy's and Damian's past, it might help us to understand the inevitable reconciliation that we are heading for. I'm being made to hate a guy and I don't even know why!

I'm not liking the dropped storylines, (for example, Tessa's water bottle tampering). Liking even less that we have no follow up on Ian and his eyes wide open in the ambulance. Was that just a rigor mortis reaction? His last lonely gasp before succumbing? What the hell, Show? Is he just going to lie in the morgue or is there a story in all this? *There's a possibility I may have dozed off during the show, so if something happened of interest, Preverts, help me out here.* Could this be the start of another Sharon and Her Endless List of Medical Problems stories? Are we working up to her being saved by Nick? Will anyone notice that she seems exactly the same as she was when she was actually on PCP? Is it the writing or the actor?

So did Viktor make this much of a fuss when Summer and Kyle first got together? And he's ok with Summer with Kyle even tho she is not the mother of Harrison (his great grandchild)? What's so fcuking special about Claire?

I was predicting a Who's The Daddy? for Audra with Damian (before we knew there were two of them.) Now I'm thinking FakeDamian for the win. We haven't had a WTD story in a long time. Audra and Claire are the only ones who have no children but I don't see Claire in that situation since she's honed in on Kyle. Besides, I don't thinK Victor wants anymore grandchildren and especially, no great grandchildren. Hell, Dom hasn't even got his pony/car yet. Holden has already shown a lusty interest in Audra. Bring on the cough syrup!
