But have they ever actually said that on the show? That’s the part that’s weird to me. It’s a minor point, but it just seems odd and a bit chummy to constantly refer to crazy criminal by her first name only. I do remember someone saying in the past that according to websites, her last name should be Howard. Even Ian Ward gets a last name, lol

Yeah, the Claire actress was really good today when she tore into Jordan about her skills slipping. I also continue to think it's ridiculous that Jordan apparently still does not have a last name. Lastly, I can understand why Claire doesn't want to involve the police. They'll want to do things on the up and up. But what's the deal with keeping it from Victor?

Oof. I thought Claire was laying it on quite thick, but like she says, she knows her aunt. She seemed to fall for it. Yes, Chance. Let's make a phone call with our back to an open door. *sigh* There was something odd about the way Nikki said "Sharon's children must be so worried about her." I mean, 2/3rds of those kids are her actual grandchildren. The phrasing made it sounds like she was talking about some neighbor. I admit I'm splitting hairs. Why are days SO LONG lately? I know there was no show yesterday, but it's been the same day for a week now. And nights are so long. I meant to comment a while ago, but on New Year's Eve/Day, we saw them toast at midnight, but them we got another couple of episodes with people meeting up at restaurants and chatting post toast. ETA: Adding to agree with the previous post. Why is Chance letting Nick run him like that? NIck, the search warrant isn't just about being sued. It's about protecting any evidence you find while running around like a maniac.

I’m having trouble quoting previous posts. Lauren mentioned that Kevin, Chloe and the kids were at Disney for the holidays. I will assume Sally is with Billy somewhere. No idea about Chloe and Lily. Also, it was completely silly that Abby did not walk out with Tessa said she needed to get some air. She was clearly stumbling and saying she didn’t feel well. She looked to be in distress.

Has it been explained why a high-dollar, high-rise condo building doesn’t have security cameras? Did it least get a throwaway “they were out of order?”

Oof. I’ll start with the kids: Yes, Auria (sp) should’ve been with her parents and upstairs sleeping on Christmas Eve. Let the babysitter go home! Katie and Johnny: I am not aware of any parents who throw teen/tween parties on Christmas Eve. Parties for entire families? Sure. The more sensible response was simply to say they were spending Christmas Eve with Billy. Christian: Are we sure that he really even exist anymore? I feel like we’re seen occasions over the last several months where Nick is somewhere where it would make sense for his child to be, and his name doesn’t come up once. As for Phyllis. Yeah, she’s a complete nut, but she did hit on something today. Even if you believe Sharon’s story that she did not kill Heather, she still threw the body off a bridge and cleaned up a crime scene. And she stole Heather‘s phone and pinned the murder on Daniel. Those are all crimes. And maybe they’ll try to explain all of that away, but they didn’t do it today. So all the holiday cheer and celebrating seemed a little odd.

Random note, but it continually cracks me up how over the top Crimson Lights tends to go with holiday decorations. It's like someone hit up an At Home or Target and just threw everything in the shopping cart.

I guess it can't be considered a "meet cute" since Billy and Sally know each other, but I was rolling my eyes yet also finding their scene charming and funny. Ah, well. You win, Y&R. Also, a minor continuity quibble. When Daniel and Tessa were in Society on Friday, they made it seem like Halloween was winding down. They were the only two in the place (except for a cook, I guess) and they took down all the Halloween decor. But today, Billy and Sally meet up in a very bustling Society, and we know it's still Halloween -- Billy was late because he picked the kids up from the party. That said, all the Halloween stuff was gone, although general fall pumpkins were still scattered about. ETAL: Concerning the budget, that's why there are so few homes at any one time. The only house that is consistently shown is the Abbott house. Even the Newman mansion gets puts on ice every now and then.

Thank you! I missed the episodes leading up to and including the murder, but I saw the next one when Daniel and Lucy came back from the movies. If they left the condo together – and Heather was still alive – when did he supposedly do it? I don’t remember Chance really digging in deep with timeline questions or asking about an alibi. And I get it’s for drama, but I also hate how easily Chance is dismissing the idea that Sharon could’ve played a role. Even if he doesn’t want to believe Phyllis or Daniel, Sharon freaked out in the public at both the coffee house and at Society. The employees could at least corroborate the story, which would then cast doubt on whether Heather would really “open up” to Sharon about something so personal. But it’s hard to put out feelers when you only have one detective. 🙄

A minor point, but I hate what appears to the recon of Lucy's short life. Now, she apparently has NEVER had friends?! When she moved to GC permanently, I swear there was talk of her hanging out with other girls and even some talk about her being friends with a boy who she thought would ask her to prom? And we didn't hear anything about her being a loner while in Savannah or Portugal. But all of that fell to wayside when Faith came home for the summer.* Now she's a creeper who was chasing Faith. and Heather was always her only and best friend. Look, she could consider Heather her best friend. But I guess it's supposed to be a sadder tale now because she was her only friend. Stop making stuff up, YR. *I'm not able to watch everyday. Has it been explained why Faith hasn't gone back to school?

Ooof. Poor Lucy. I can't figure out how old she's supposed to be. When she appeared last year, Daniel definitely said she was 13, which was how old my son was at the time. But then this spring, I think she went to the prom? So I figured they aged her a couple of years. But now she's supposedly old enough that Daniel and Heather felt comfortable sending her to a party with college-age kids? She just seemed so eager and immature compared to Faith and her friend with their cool girl demeanor and style.

I’m still on the side of the fence that there actually is a twin, so this is what I assumed happened. I thought that Alan was gone a fairly long time considering he was just going to run through the house and look for a problem. But who knows. Lol

As a mom of a young teenager, I thought Cindy‘s “we don’t track phones“ stance was a little odd. I don’t track my kid’s every move but it certainly comes in handy when he can’t find his phone. I would especially think you might want to keep an eye on an 11-year-old. I guess it was set up to be a funny storyline for Hermann, but it just didn’t really ring true. I’m also guessing the new kid will turn out to be Severide’s. He has a similar look so it makes sense.

I've only watched 20 minutes of today's episode because I needed to get back to work, but two observations: 1. Tucker and Audra remain fun to watch. 2. I hate when shows make people dumber than they are. Why have the Abbotts -- especially Traci --not figured out that Ashley is dealing with multiple personalities? These aren't subtle shifts -- a cold, angry version; a teen version complete with dated lingo and messy hair; and now this Dixie Carter version. I'll pick up the show again in a bit, but so far, Traci sitting at lunch entertaining this version is absurd. She should have texted Jack to get down there immediately.

What was Phyllis and Nick’s conversation about how Harrison had made Phyllis a grandmother all about? Didn’t she become a “hot granny“ when Lucy was born 14 or 15 years ago? How did nobody catch that? And I know he’s only 7, so I should give him a break. But shouldn’t Harrison comments about Claire have come up when he was interviewed by the police? But as others have said, yesterday‘s Board of Directors meeting was a complete farce, so I guess I shouldn’t expect accuracy in police interviews.
