Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat

[KLovestoShop]

Why does Kyle’s facial expressions look like he’s been constipated for a week?  

[Waldo13]

Can Olive be anymore of a vindictive egomaniac. No Olive the world doesn’t revolve around you. Your take on everything is so darn negative. You are treading into Rodan the Yenta’s territory. If you are so confident in yourself, than how can Adam be a threat to you?  No Olive, Victor’s blind spot for you is twice that of his blind spot for Adam. So Olive wants Nikki to be Co-CEO. That’s like the blind leading the blind or the incompetent letting the more incompetent.  Olive calls Adam a snake but Poppin Fresh is the serpent from the Garden of Eden.  Hold the phone Olive I’m giving you 🤥🤥🤥🤥.  Nikki was not your COO from the beginning. You promoted her from her position as head of the real estate division.  Olive, please tell me what Nikki can’t do as COO that she has to be promoted to Co-CEO other than thwart Adam. Ok Olive, now who’s the snake. Olive is Queen but she’s trying to grow a pair of balls so she could be King.  Olive has to bastardized Adam because she knows deep down inside that Adam is more capable and smarter than she is. 

Victor telling Adam that he has to earn Olive’s trust is like telling Adam he might as well kill himself. 

I didn’t know Rodan the Yenta wrote an exposé on Diane which pretty much sounded more like Rodan. Adam had an exposé written by Nostrils but has anybody written on about Rodan. 

Jack what happened to supporting Kyle’s decision about his mother?  That look on your face didn’t look all that much about you approving of Kyle’s decision to give his mother a chance to prove that she has changed. 

[JNavarro]

Yeah, I'm sure a podcast where a man in his mid 40s rants hysterically about a guy who made him angry today is at the top of the App Store.   Great save at the end by trying to somehow make it about "money and power" instead of just a hissy fit (which it was).  

Hey Jack, whatever it looks like you're about to say, shut up.   You can basically see the wheels turning in his head of what he THINKS he has to think about this so Phyllis won't be mad at him.  

I really, really, hope this is not an "I told you so" where Saints Phyllis, Jack, and every single Newman get to be right about mean old Diane, because I feel like this is inevitably happening right now.  

[boes]

Mother, will you be my Co-CEO?

Oh Darling, how can I say no?

Forget replacing the destroyed portrait.  What Vicki really needs in her office right now is a giant cauldron or a cadre of flying monkeys - which reminds me, where IS Nick??

  She's not exactly someone to inspire confidence in the public who may wonder why Newman Double Bubble Toil and Trouble Inc. is now being run by a refugee from the Hell Mouth.

Speaking of the Hell Mouth, I assume that's where ButtBiscuit is broadcasting from?  Besides airing his personal grievances - which, by tradition, he should be saving for Festivus - is he also giving his favorite recipes and discussing the heartbreak of erectile dysfunction?  I assume his main sponsors are Cialis, Viagra and Frontline.  

DOOL has a storyline involving demonic possession, with Beelzebub jumping from one character to another.  It's old hat for any of us who watch Y&R, since we've had a demonic infestation since Phyllis slithered into town.  These days, though, she's so over-the-top I'm surprised the beds at the Grim Proboscis aren't levitating.  The other day when she let loose on Jack I was really surprised the poor guy wasn't drenched by her spitting dialogue.  Show keeps trying to tell us that Diane is the evulust evul who ever evuled, but they ruin it by then showing us Phyllis and ButtBiscuit and Victor in action.

Monty, I'll take Diane behind Curtain Number 3!

I'm hoping Traci has kidnapped Harrison and taken him some place that has intelligent life.

Hi Kyle!  Nice to see you.  I expect that sentiment to end if and when Dummer leaves Mee Lawn and visits Genoa City.  Maybe she can do a guest spot on Unca ButtBiscuit's podcast.

I just thought of something that I should of posted yesterday about Rodan’s exposé on Diane.  Rodan’s exposé was detrimental to Kyle and Nostrils wrote an exposé on Adam that was detrimental to Faith but they both get a pass. If Adam walked on water, Adam’s detractors would say that Adam couldn’t swim. 

Why doesn’t Mariah look all that thrilled that Chrystal has been exonerated and can come to the wedding?  I hope it’s the same actress playing Chrystal is coming back.  She looks like she actually can be Tessa’s sister  

So if Rey was such a good guy, why did the TIIC kill him off. Rey got Chrystal exonerated maybe if Rey lived, he could of solved who killed Jimmy Hoffa.  

A memorial is very apropos and it helps in the grieving process.  I understand Sharon’s need to have a memorial but I would hope that they would have Rey’s coffin at the memorial or at least have an enlarged photo of Rey.  At my wife’s funeral, we had many people write down their thoughts and memories about my wife. If those people couldn’t actually couldn’t bring themselves to read their own words, than the Rabbi would read those words for them. With that said, if I was Sharon, I would ask to have Rey’s body cremated and have his ashes divided equally.  

Chelsea would be a much more believable actress in her grief is if she could deliver her lines without taking 3 breaths per sentence.  

I’m wondering if TIIC unwittingly know that Poppin Fresh’s  5 hundred million dollars is taxable and a donation to New Hope is partially tax deductible?  Poppin Fresh forever the schemer is shown that Banana Breath is correct. Poppin Fresh is looking for redemption.  He knew that word would get back to Olive and Olive would want Banana Breath to take the money. I agree with Olive as long as she real about never forgiving Poppin Fresh.

 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Crystal? Why would they bring her back instead of Allie? Crystal is old news AFAIC. Allie is the future, dagnabbit. 🤨

Wow, Victoria acts like SHE owns Newman Enterprises. Does she have blackmail photos of Victor getting a little too frisky with farm animals or something? 🤨

It's odd to me how the MWTs are working so hard to prove what a swell guy Rey was and how no one really knew. They could've been writing this hero stuff for him all along instead of killing him off and using postmortem exposition to reveal it.

Adam should've told Ashland to keep the Newmans' name out of his mouth. 😏

Oh geez, just what Victoria needed, a new huge image of herself hanging on the wall for her to gaze upon while she's being the HBIC. At least the Ice Queen is smiling in this one.

Is Sharon in those gray sweats supposed to symbolize how much she's neglecting her appearance because she's grieving? Please, they're probably cashmere.

Ehhh, Sharon holding a last minute, makeshift memorial for Rey before the "official" one in Miami seems disrespectful to the Rosales family to me. I hope Sharon lets Celeste know about it and gets her blessing beforehand, otherwise it seems to me like she's undermining Celeste's wishes.

Getting rewarded for bad behavior. It's the Newman way! 😐 Pssht, creating paintings from photographs is basically a factory process in China. Bet Victor got Victoria's new portrait via Amazon Prime, lol. Two-day delivery.

Ashland just spends all day roaming from the coffeehouse to Society and back to the Gravy Pontoon, with occasional unwelcome forays into Victoria's office. What a glorious life. Seriously, he has to know once his misdeeds become public everyone in GC will see how craven and morally bankrupt he is.

Countdown to when Victoria is using Ashland's massive New Hope donation to try to convince her family that he's changed! He's no longer the lying scammer he used to be! I still love him and I've forgiven him and you all should too! Kill me now! 😵‍💫

[Julyolo]

Nikki's skirt today...Co-Ceo leaves a pile of glitter wherever she sits, followed by a sparkly trail wherever she roams in the corporate suites. Ill fitting, inappropriate in a business setting, just hideous. I am still unable to understand the endless love saga Pillsbury is singing about when Victoria was nothing but a mark he duped into falling in love with a gasbag of lies. Utterly ridiculous. Now, Pillsbury is offering Nick a donation of 250 million of the $ he obtained by Nick's family ransoming Victoria out of his grift? To be gilded with the memory of Rey? Victoria vocalizing her revenge redemption by advocating such a scenario? Such a self centered solution to soothe her bruised ego.She can't stop preening long enough as the world's strongest victim to think through the manipulation and insanity inherent in this strategy. As a plot device, it is every bit as nauseous as the Darvon paternity ploy.

[Chatty Cake]

Maybe make some toast Nick, not chocolate chip pancakes. Her husband passed away it’s not her 10th birthday. Oh wait, maybe she does have low blood sugar since she thinks it’s fine to throw a spur of the moment memorial. “Here ye townspeople of Genoa City.....” or a group text: Memorial today at Crimson lights. C U at 2.
Then Tessa says she’ll help. I guess she’ll Door Dash from Society unless they are packing up the chocolate chip pancakes,

Does anyone here have a portrait of themselves in their office? 

Oh Chelsea, you weren’t that deep with Rey. Adam rejected you and you had a crush on him. No Chloe, she wasn’t in love with Rey. 
When RB was Ashland I liked him but didn’t want him to be faking his illness and I would have been a bit upset with him if it was still RB.

This Ashland however can do whatever he wants and I find myself irritated at Victoria.  I know it’s not rational. But he is offering money to Nicks charity. 

[KLovestoShop]

Chelsea’s BS moaning over Rey is more than way over the top.  She knew him as a “friend” for all of 5 minutes, but she’s acting like she’s the widow.  I just don’t understand what that’s all about.  I don’t think they had sex, but you’d think the spawn of Chucky was Rey’s kid.  Chloe needs to slap her silly and scream that she’s acting like a giant a-hole.  Will she crash the service and drape herself over the coffin?

Sharon was wandering the house in her best Duck Dynasty mourning outfit.  All that was missing was a muskrat hide.  But her sorrow was overflowing......

"I want to pay tribute to Way in my own rey.

Wait, wait, what I meant to say was, I want to lay tribute to Say in my own day.

What?  Sorry, I mean, I wanna rey tribute to Fay in my own pay.

Oh fuck it, let's have a party-I-mean-memorial."

Poor thing says she hasn't eaten anything in days.  How much you wanna bet, if you look under her bed you'll find empty Cheeto bags and crushed cans of Mountain Dew.

I only wish Sharon was hosting the memorial at Chancellor Park, give Chelsea a real hole in the ground she could throw herself into.  Can't you just hear the sound she'd make?  Heaven.......

Imagine the tributes...

Nick - "Rey taught me that when you're going commando, always try to hang to the right."

Noah - "Rey showed me ways to be an even bigger tightass than I am now.  Oh, and to be fair, Mom's home botox kit helped with that, too."

Faith - "Even though Rey wasn't my own father, he taught me how important it was to hang the toilet paper the RIGHT way.  That's outtie folks, not innie."

Chance - "Rey let me in on his secret to the best hair products.  See how shiny I am, yet how my locks oh-so-softly fall?  That's pure Rosales, folks!"

Adam - "Is there cake?  I'm positive somebody said there'd be cake."

Aw, yes, Rey Rey.  Now you are loved.  If only Show had thought about it when you were still sort of among the living.

How is this possibly blood money?  The dude lied a bunch of times. Taking $250 million to be used for a charity that MIGHT make a ne'er do well type figure look good is....not a difficult decision in the slightest imo.  But then it's Nick, so it's clearly an impossible conundrum.  

I get kind of amused by the radical changes in height between Mariah and Tessa from one episode to another.  

I also thought it was kind of weird how Mariah acted when she heard about Crystal.  The main things I remember in that story were how annoying Sharon was trying to solve the sex trafficking ring on her own, Tessa requesting a $100,000 advance on her salary at a coffee shop, and how Nikki gave zero fucks about the situation after Tessa screwed her over. 

 

 

[Runningwild]

I’m over the Newmans and their outrage at Ashland. He faked an illness. So did Adam. Victor faked his own death a couple times. 
 

I am also over the outrage over Diane being back from the dead. She’s done a lot less damage in her life than Phyllis. 
 

Glass houses, people.

Yeah, they're using that expression in an unusual way but I think what they mean is Ashland profited by posing a threat to Victoria, the Newman family, and their company.  The thing is though, the Newmans chose to give him the money, he didn't demand it. It's their fault for assuming all he wanted was a simple payoff and then he'd skip town. Seems to me he still wants to do something to Victoria and he sees how vulnerable she is. The New Hope donation will likely break whatever's left of her resistance. AFAIC the Newmans need to shine light on the situation and let the world know what Ashland's been up to. Their trying to protect their family/company reputation will be their downfall if they don't get over it.

Yeah, okay, if you want a painting that looks like it was created by AI. China has these artist colonies (to put it kindly) where people actually do an oil painting using the source material you provide, e.g., a photo. In some cases the skill has passed down over several generations of a family (like running an international cosmetics company, hah hah). Unfortunately, the practice is also responsible for most of the world's fine art forgeries, and has branched out into knock-offs of designer brands. The 99% Invisible podcast did an episode on this recently.

Adam’s reaction to seeing Diane alive and well was priceless as was him welcoming her to The Resurrection Club. And the first rule of Resurrection Club is they don’t talk about Resurrection Club. Hee. 🤣

His quip that he wanted to send her a “Bite Me” card for leaving things in a way that he would be implicated in her death, when he thought she really had bought the farm, but he couldn’t find a forwarding address to Hell. 

He and Sally are still a smoke show.

Between Nikki's sparkle skirt and Sally's disco shirt and cleavage totally inappropriate for work unless you work in a gentlemen's club I couldn't pay attention to the episode.

Adam should have put up a portrait of himself in the two days he had the chance, and secured it to the wall with so many long screws that it would not be easy to remove.  Personally, I don't think I could stand having a greater-than-life-size portrait of myself or anybody staring at me while I work.

[Joimiaroxeu]

I'm kind of impressed with SW's willingness to expose her crepey neck area. The closeup of Diane lying in the bed showed no mercy.

The Grinning Soul? That's what they're calling Billy's whine-fest masquerading as a podcast? I guess "The Barren Wasteland That is Some Guy Who's Pretending He's Not Billy Abbott's Last Vestiges of a Soul" was already taken. 😐

And all these alleged subscribers Billy claims he has? Eastern European bots most certainly. 🤠

But Billy, if Ashland figures out the person slamming him in this new podcast is you, he can force you to admit it under oath or risk perjury charges. You are so confidently stupid. Is Lily not having Amanda or Imani vet this nonsense of his for potential liability?

I don't think Billy putting Lily's Winters family stuff before the Abbotts' bodes well, even if it is business.

The Resurrection Club. Heh, Adam went in with both barrels but Diane held her own. Meanwhile, Sally was like looking at Diane like, "Okaaay, what variety of bad bish do we have here?" I bet if Diane and Sally had met in L.A. they would've become galpals.

Abby is with the Abbotts! It's a miracle. She likely still is clueless about the Newmans vs. Ashland drama though.

Sally is definitely a ride-or-die chick. Adam may have finally found The One. And she's right IMO: Adam needs to stop attempting to curry the Newmans' favor, especially Daddy Vic's. It's an endless fool's errand.

So Diane is about to be made the star of the Abbott family's living room production of The Crucible. "I saw Diane Jenkins with Devil!" Is this supposed to make the audience feel sorry for her? Meh, I'm confident either Diane will handle them or it'll be a wash. Then Saint Traci will decide Diane is a changed woman and will advise Kyle to forgive her.

OMG! OMG! OMG! The previews for next week! Allie! Somebody find Noah! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[Waldo13]

I have to say that I have to stop reading spoilers. The spoilers didn’t mention, unless I read it wrong, that Diane being arrested for abandonment was just a dream.  But even if it wasn’t:

Diane was killed Aug 1, 2011.  Diane has been in hiding not quite 11 years. Kyle was born Jan 8, 2001.  So when Diane abandoned Kyle when he was 10. This would fit being a crime of abandonment but Kyle is not 21 years old today. If Kyle was 21, than he would have been around 17 when Kyle had the affair with Tara. What is funny here is that Tara was sent to jail on a dubious charge of embezzlement when she should have been sent to jail for having sex with a minor. 

Color me surprised that Jack has relented about giving Diane the benefit of the doubt about abandoning Kyle. He realized that Kyle would not be the man he is today.  What doesn’t surprise me is how very much Sally is supporting Adam. Her advice gives Adam the good and bad about leaving his family behind and striking out on his own. Sally played two sides of the coin to help Adam realize what he has to do. By the way, Sally looked fantastic today.  

Nostrils’ and Olive’s problems, in marriage, always boiled down to not getting along because they a like two peas in a pod both major egomaniacs. Nostrils mostly get away with this with Lily because Lily most often strokes his ego. In the world of Olive and Poppin Fresh, Poppin Fresh also stokes Olive’s ego but by feeding into another Olive trait, ambition.  Nostrils, actions have consequences. You should know better than most. You can teach a master class on this subject. 

I got a good laugh about Adam’s and Diane’s encounter. “Welcome to the resurrection club. The first rule of the resurrection club is that we don’t talk about the resurrection club”. Adam didn’t adhere to the second rule of the resurrection cub as did Diane is that once you escape it’s the best idea not to come back.  

Today the role of Rodan the Yenta is being played by Ashley the Vindictive.  

 

[VanillaBeanne]

I like the actor who plays Kyle but yes I agree that his facial expressions are lacking.

He should watch Adam scenes in todays episode. I enjoy watching all the subtle changes of expressions peppered with over the top ones.  

I was sorry to see Mike Muhaney go but love this new Adam.

Also, I was glad to see that Adam and Sally actually bothered to take off the hotel bedspread  this time   Those things are so gross (namely because of all the people who have sex on top of them and not being changed after every guest).  I know that that was a set and not a real hotel but it took me out of the scene watching them recline on the bedspread

Not only that, he should order a half dozen of them in different poses because for sure Victoria will take the first one down (or have it taken down) and destroy it. Then the next time she comes in the office, Adam can have had the next one put up already. She'd lose her mind. This whole business with the portraits is so stupid. I guess when you have everything you could possibly want, you have to look for symbolic ways to prop your ego.

Thank you.  I thought the same thing.  Victor has faked illnesses and his own death previously.  Nikki has faked terminal illness and fantasized about her own funeral.  Adam is the only one who acknowledged he had faked an illness /blindness in the past and was somewhat understanding to Ashland. I also find it hard to see how the Newman's are so outraged.  Ashland wasn't exactly convincing as a cancer patient.  Newsflash, chemotherapy makes your hair fall out.  Ashland didn't appeared to suffer any hair loss.  Chemotherapy is treated with infusion drugs, so you'd think he would have had marks and bruises where the IV was inserted.

I agree that Phyllis has done much worse things than Diane.  I don't think Diane has ever tried outright to kill anyone.  I'm hoping that since Diane mentioned that Deacon Sharpe helped her escape and hide, that he will return to GC for a visit.  Maybe he and Phyllis can meet and have dumpster sex on the Grand Phoenix' loading dock for old times sake...

Poppin Fresh’s real crime was trying to play the Newmans as fools. Diane’s real crime is the same by fooling the Newmans. Rodan the Yenta gets a pass because she’s under Victor’s protection as Summer’s mother. Kyle is also under Victor’s protection as Summer’s husband. But what I find hypocritical is that Diane is Kyle’s mother, who Victor declares that he’s now part of the family, so by extension, shouldn’t Diane be part of the family.  I guess that Nostrils is not considered part of the family even though he’s the father of his grandchildren either like Diane.  Another person who gets a break from Victor is Chelsea as the mother of Connor. 
 

Adam and Sally have to get married pretty quickly so Sally will also be granted absolution, by Victor, for all her perceived sins.  
 

My wife received chemo for 6 months and never lost her hair but she did have quite a few needle marks and bruises.  Her main problem was fatigue and nausea.

Random question but is it just me or is everyone on Y&R always dressed in Purple? I guess wardrobe considers it a neutral. Maybe, it easier on the eyes with hi def. I don’t know but I needed to get that off my chest. LOL!!!!!

[SweePea59]

The Pantone color of the year this year is periwinkle. That might be part of the explanation for all the purple - there's not so much periwinkle out there other than some mens ties, so maybe they figure purple is the next best thing?

Has anyone noticed that there has been more Spanish guitar background music like there was in the old days? They may even be using some of the old tapes?

He’s always been like that. When he was first hired I said he always looks like he suckling on a lemon. He just has that facial expression of he didn’t like something he ate or drank. Also, he tends to always look sick looking and very oily on his forehead. That said, he’s very popular with the cast. They were very happy he returned.

Probably a badly aimed botox injection.  Lauren had one a few years ago and wore her hair over half her face for several months, around the time there were two Phyllises.  Hillary Farr (HGTV Love It or List It) admitted this happened to her and she had to stand sideways and wear her hair over half her face for six months.

I wondered the same thing. That was one ugly dress and the color was awful on her. Now let’s talk about the sparkly sequin skirts being worn on this show. Abby looked like she was going clubbing at night. Nikki loves those skirts too. Sally likes sparkly sequin jackets for office work. Who in the hell is dressing these women?!

Makes sense! I remember Lauren doing that with her hair now that you mention it.  Sad what they feel they have to do to for their careers….

Agree, B&B for the most part has nice clothing but Y&R is just gimmicky and gaudy looking.  Their clothes look like Walmart knock offs of haute couture.

Billy has the nerve to try to be coy to Victoria about his slam book podcast. Everyone is going to know it's him. So stupid.

Yeah, something about the Abbotts acting as judge and jury with Diane seemed way too hypocritical. Everyone in that room (except maybe Traci?) has a rap sheet of felonies and misdemeanors beyond getting implicated in Diane's "murder." Pretty much none of them can cast the proverbial first stone.

So Victor thought there was a risk Adam would join up with Diane again to start pulling stuff against the Newmans? Hmmm. Maybe now is not the time for him to be givng Adam yet another excuse to seek revenge.

OMG, the Abbotts were thisclose to demanding Diane to get her psychologist on video chat so they could see if the person actually exists and question her about Diane's truthfulness. And then Ashley wanted to see her bank statements. Pshht, like Diane couldn't fake all that.

Lol, I love how Diane had some 411 to throw back at each of those Abbotts. She'd clearly done her homework. Which is something a smart con would do.😐

Victor in a white shirt. Wow, were all his black shirts at the cleaners? Lucky for him he didn't have to intimidate anyone today.

Something was weird to me the way there were several closeup shots of Victoria's boomerang necklace. Is YR marketing copies of it to the viewers? Maybe Ashland had it made with a GPS tracker inside so it'll become a future plot point.

Okay, I'm glad to see Allie finally in GC but the timing of her arrival was sus to me. Did Diane perhaps call her in as backup  to work on the Abbotts' sentimentality? All but Ashley are likely going to embrace Allie as Jack's long-lost granddaughter. Allie can reinforce the notion that the Abbotts owe Diane for connecting her and Jack, even if Diane did have an ulterior motive.

Heh, the Abbotts and Newmans should get together and throw Diane a humiliating walk of shame down Main Street like Cersei Lannister got in Game of Thrones. Cersei was stripped naked, had her hair hacked off, and got rotting garbage thrown at her. Abby could serve free drinks and snacks at Society afterward! 😈

No it's actually sort of a faux turtleneck but the flesh tone color and curved ribbing make it look like the front part is her cleavage. Worn on TV has a good view of it.

Ashley had some nerve saying she’d like to see Diane’s bank statements! Really?! How intrusive was that? And Abby being so snotty and condescending to Diane? Who is she to stand in judgement of anyone? I actually was on Diane’s side today. Just tell them to kiss your ass, Abbotts.

 

[Waldo13]

Ashley sittin like a Princess perched in her electric chair and Diane thinking someone save my life tonight.  

The biggest difference between Ashley and Rodan the Yenta is that Ashley doesn’t get over animates when she spits fire. Ashley can be aggressive while Rodan the Yenta almost always aggressive.

Victor seems more hell bent of getting Diane out of town than Poppin Fresh.  

Why when the Abbotts are talking about Diane’s misgivings I think they really are talking about Rodan the Yenta?  To my mind Rodan the Yenta is the most self serving of all. 

Give me a break Abby. Four and a half years was not enough time to turn Diane’s life around but Chance 2.0 did it in a few months. PTSD is a thing of the past and Chance 2.0 can go right back into life and death situations. Abby should be more worried about Devon’s state of mind than Diane’s.  In addition didn’t Nostrils rehabilitate himself pretty quickly from gum chewing Nostrils.  

Excellent arguments against the entitled Abbotts and call outs but they still can only listen with their mouths.  Can someone please tell me what Kyle has to loose in trusting Diane?  What can Diane do to Kyle that she hasn’t done before?  Fake her death again?  

Great timing Allie, the Abbotts just happened to be all their.  Go figure.

That's because Diane didn't know Saint Rey Rey. Maybe Sharin should sell candles with his picture on it at Crimson Lights. Then Diane could buy one and petition him. Problem solved.

What an awful episode this was...Victoria and her parents going round  and round with the same conversation....Pointless chatter between Billy and Victoria and then finally that horrible set up with everybody gunning for Diane....Probably because I wasn’t watching back when Diane was on and wreaking all this havoc but either way I am completely on her side....

Insipid Abby standing there in that awful  sequined skirt and having no right to pass judgment on Diane but I love when Diane called her out on no longer being a naked heiress

Horrible judgemental, prickly Ashley in the most unforgiving sweater I have ever seen... the way it knotted in the front made her boobs sag even worse than they usually do

At least Traci has a heart and was able to listen to Diane without too much judgment and as for Jack...the less said the better because if he is not the biggest pantywaist, I don’t know who is

Not sure why they even invited Billy because he added nothing

Kyle doesn’t know which way to turn but I definitely think he will give Diane a chance

I liked Allie in California but her showing up out of the blue and asking if there was a problem with her showing up was just ridiculous

A very uncomfortable episode but of course I watched every bit of it because that’s what we do Lol... and coming here to discuss it is better than watching the episode but you all know that already !

Yeah she did but Billy has two podcasts. One is under his own name and persona and is woeful and full of angst. The other is basically a one-person b!tch session, and is supposedly anonymous with him using some kind technical effect to disguise his voice.

But as Victoria told Billy today, he's not altering his vocal patterns or usual vocabulary so people who are accustomed to talking to him IRL will know it's him. Plus the fact that he's talking about things and people in his life that everyone knows he's mad about. He's a defamation lawsuit waiting to happen.

Well she would be the only one.

Only thing good about watching all of the moral swamp dwellers (minus Traci) grill Diane was that for some reason Phyllis didn't insinuate herself there as Auntie Jack's friend. If Jack gets befuddled by the rebranded Diane, and Nick makes Sharon a merry widow, only hope for her will be to fall in love with her bestie Amanda. Lately this show is like opening a fridge to only see leftovers from a party that was kind of a drag.

[Runningwild]

What is with Aunt Jackie’s pained face? I think he’s trying to show he’s upset but to me it looks like he’s imagining Syphyllis squeezing his balls when she finds out Diane was over talking with the Abbotts.

The week is off to a better start, in that at least Victoria's hair isn't done up into a "And your little dog, too" Miss Gulch look.

I always imagine this how Victoria looks when she shows up to do an employee evaluation.

While she can't ride her bike right now,  she's still got the cane!  I bet the employees at Newman Colostomy Bag and Clown Shoes Inc. are thrilled she has to use it, too.  They can hear her tap tap tapping along, eager to make them rue the day they ever signed up to work for her. giving them time to hide before she shows up with that grimace on her face.

Be it the coffee shop or the Abbott Mansion, ButtBiscuit is the same gaseous bag of unctous opinions and foul-smelling self regard.  His podcast - the Grimy Soul? - is so obvious even Victoria was able to figure it out.  Yeah, Ashland is a POS but ButtBiscuit is too, and as far as Genoa City and Victoria, one of much longer duration.  He's so outraged by what Ashland has done but somehow him literally destroying Victoria's company, Brash and Sassy, losing Jabot half a billion bucks AND embezzling from Jabot just don't seem to matter than much.  All he has to do, apparently, is to declare, "I'm reformed".  Pish on that posh.

Personally, I don't see him ever being penitent enough for me to forgive seeing him in his high tide jeans and blazing white tennies some seasons back.  That, and every shot of him semi-naked are unforgivable sins against humanity.

Poor Diane.  You can't blame her since 

and, being unprepared, I thought she did pretty well.

Pardon me if I'm wrong on this, but wasn't Diane blackmailing Ashley and Abby because Abby had run down Ashley's fiance, Tucker McCall?  Maybe best not to throw that particular stone?

As said above, ButtBiscuit's sins are legion and neither Jack nor Kyle are spotless, either.  Traci pretty much is, in the scheme of things.

Regardless, I like an Abbot family-centered storyline (minus ButtBiscuit) so I enjoyed those scenes today.  I'm happy Allie showed up, she'll get to see her new family at their most Abbotty.

I hope she likes a big breakfast.

That was one of the ugliest dresses Elieen Davidson has ever worn. It looked like a sweater dress with a knot in front. It was an ugly color and look like you’d wear for winter and not spring. Of course, the show is set in Wisconsin but that’s hardly an excuse.

It’s not horribly expensive but it didn’t look good on Eileen Davidson.
