Regarding Harrison? Is that a choice made by the actor's parents? Because I am not sure sure why the child has such long hair on the show. At least brush it or tie it up.

And it looked like it hadn’t been washed recently or else full of product.  He was sure chomping down on whatever was on that plate though!  Lol

[MsMalin]

I have it on pretty good authority that the actor who plays Hairyson is wearing his hair that length for another role in which he plays a boy who identifies as a girl. Supposedly he wears a tutu in some scenes. Don't know.why they couldn't use a wig.

After watching the Thanksgiving episode I was thinking about how Harrison, aka Little Lord Fauntleroy, isn't even trying to act. He just looks wild eyed or lost most of the time and then randomly blurts out a one word response every 10th time we see him. There are plenty of child actors who could, yanno, act. Why they chose this kid is a mystery, but then again so many of the production decisions on this show are mysterious.

I laughed when Abby had to speak to PeePaw and Drinkki at Soecoty because that's the first time Ive seen those three together since the beginning if the awful War for DomDom...

Yep. I couldn't care less how the little boy wears his hair IRL but in the context of Y&R it doesn't make much sense to me. Wasn't Harrison born in NYC? And then he moved to GC, to Milian, and back to GC. Though he may have gotten some leeway in Europe, I doubt boys Harrison's age are wearing their hair long like that now in most other places.

I might could see it if Ashland and Tara had been living in Malibu and they were raising Harrison to look like a 1980s surfer but even that's a stretch. IMO the writers need to explain what that hair's all about or get a different person to portray Harrison. I'm starting to see the issue come up more on a few soap forums and it's never good when the audience starts going after a child actor.

Yes there are other boys that would be better. The hair is too much too.

[JNavarro]

I was kind of surprised when Kyle came back with Harrison this time around, and they kept the same child, and they still seem to be referring to him like he's 2.  

But then again, it doesn't bother me much either bc I frankly don't want kid storylines or characters taking up a lot of time.  And that includes Nick.

That sounds like a very dense role for a kid to play, let alone a kid who is incapable of emoting.

Let me get this straight. Aside from a post-show PSA done by actors MCE and JT, what good is this Chelsea/mental health story doing for anyone who suffers from depression? You can’t start out all serious and earnest and then veer off into whatever the hell this crapfest of a storyline is.

Attempting suicide and failing is apparently like hitting the emotional jackpot in Genoa City. Sure, you get some Nosferatu looking motherfucker appointing himself as your life coach, bodyguard, and bullshit supply depot, but look at all the other benefits! Foist yourself on holiday gatherings and bask in the awkwardness. Soak up the kindness and empathy from the two kids you’ve already fucked up and who will now stifle themselves to protect your fragile psyche. What the fuck, show. What the actual fuck. 

Now I must beg you, good people, to stop putting the idea of a Noah baby out into the universe. Gross. He already has a child, and his name is Nick. We never saw Noah and Audra together; the writers just slapped these two idiots on screen, insisted they had a relationship and expect us to give a flying fuck. There’s an interesting concept in television writing called “show stuff happening.” At least make the exposition necessary to explain what’s happening on screen less clunky and more interesting.

What a good post. 
This definitely isn’t  the show to help someone suffering from depression. I hope they aren’t trying to do that. 
If Noah had a baby it should have been that cops sister (Detective Sanchez). Adriana. At least Noah had some interaction with her. The kid would be older than Harrison by now but at least it would make a little more sense than this Audra crap. 

[Julyolo]

Tucker and Ashley both playing "too cool for school" pseudo sophisticates isn't working for me. So Danny has pitched his "ethically altruistic" version of a metaverse for kids that parents will allegedly race out to buy because post playing they will be better people? The grandiose conceit of Lily, Devon, and Danny seems to have no bounds, except when it comes to archaic stereotypes, like a Prince searching for a Princess. Oh, sure, Gen Z is all about that, NOT. The MWT's are how old? I'm a senior (not HS or college, lol) and I'm rolling my eyes. Happy everyone is shooting down the GC cabal of Nikki, Ashley, and Phyllis. Hopefully this will result in Phyllis doing something so reckless and stupid she'll have to move to LA (B&B) or Salem (DOOL) Yes, let the witch known as Phyllis fittingly retire to Salem.

I am so over DianeJenkins' personal mass-hysteria and non-stop victim-playing about everything. And just what is it that DianeJenkins has her knickers in a twist over concerning Whatshisname Stark and the many, many COOs of GC? Is she afraid that he's going to run at each and every one of them with scissors? I am so over her that I am rooting for Grampire to swoop in and save the day. You know that's bad. 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Wow, a mention of Moses and Sofia. It's a Thanksgiving miracle. 😏

When Devon decides to confess his sins he doesn't pussyfoot around. Dang.

What was up with Phyllis flashing her cleavage at Talia the reporter? Is she trying to swing a different way, lol?

It's odd how Devon has photos of Neil prominently displayed but none of Dru. I mean, I know why but the blatancy of it seems needlessly disrespectful IMO.

At first I was going to give Lily points for not really going in on Devon after he told her what happened with him, Abby, Amanda, and Chance. But then I remembered why she's a former convict. She'll never again have the moral high ground with Devon unless he kills Maddie or Charlie.

Jack, why should Ashley accept Diane as an Abbott? Diane isn't an Abbott, she's merely Kyle's mommy and Harrison's granny.

Ehh, I'm thinking Phyllis and Nikki might want to be careful about messing around in an old FBI case. Both of them have things in their histories they definitely wouldn't want the feds taking a deeper look into.

Summer said she was going to offer Daniel a job at Marchetti. Doing what? Meh, nepotism.

Nikki: Talia, we've heard Diane was seen on the grassy knoll back in November 1963. You know what that means.
Phyllis: yeah, and we also heard she helped to fake the moon landing in 1969.
Talia: riiiight, and neither of you are very good at math. Sorry but I am not here for you aged mean girls and your silly gossip. Lose my number.
Joi: sure, Jan Talia. 🙄

Tucker has all the chill. Ashley couldn't get under his skin about the Diane drama if she used a scalpel and a hypodermic needle.

A "mega universe gaming platform." Gee, I was wondering which buzzwords the TPTB would jump on next. Target acquired.

Oy, I'm thinking someone Lucy's age might not love being used as an avatar in her dad's video game. Maybe that'll be the reason she shows up in GC: to confront Daniel.

Yes, Phyllis, you go ahead and start playing games with a known gangster who's fresh from prison. It'll be fun to see how that works out for you.

It makes not one lick of sense that this reporter in researching her 'story' on Diane that Nikki, Phyllis, and Ashley are trying to spoon feed to her that she and her publisher didn't hit on the bigger jackpot of how Diane is nothing but a blip in the fertile, scandalous lives of each of these women and that they could write multi-chapter stories on all of them with cross-referenced and confirmed sources that corroborate all their crap that defends them from lawsuits. And when Victor wants to try to bully the publisher into not publishing anything about his beloved Nikki and Ashley, the owner (how I wish it was $Bill Spencer) would tell him to kick rocks and publish the tell-all multi-part series about the Notorious Coven of Genoa City. The blowback would affect so many people and stories - would Nikki need to step down at Newman because of the scandal? Would Phyllis and Ashley be dealing with issues at Jabot? Daniel's back in town so we could revisit the story of his paternity and how Phyllis's battles with Christine; if they did some real digging then Kyle and Abby's origins could be exposed to everyone's cringing shame.

Revisiting Nikki, Ashley, and Phyllis' history makes sense given this is an anniversary year; each new chapter in the article would take us down flashback/memory lane showing the show's history.

Diane will still be to blame because she's the point of origin in Phyllis's mind. Nikki at least had the good sense to vocally tell her she did not want Diane physically hurt (but psychologically terrorized and bullied is a-okay). Given that Phyllis straight up turned state's witness against Nikki, Victoria, and Sharon in the JT debacle why Nikki even gives her the time of day or believes she would ever be someone to trust is beyond me.

[Pop Tart]

Daniel’s description of the object of the game being ‘find the princess’ made me think that Heather has maybe disappeared with Lucy or Lucy has been disappeared somehow. And then he said the princess is based on Lucy…

My memory of Heather is dim, but she’s a heroine-type, so her kidnapping Lucy seems off. But perhaps she thinks Daniel did something wrong? Or there’s a threat of some kind. 

[Waldo13]

Rodan and Nikki get sexual pleasure out of dumping on Diane than they ever could get from a man.  Rodan is an ice queen that freezes your popsicle and Nikki is a necrophiliac.

We have one pouting artist in Noah and now we get a second pouting artist in Daniel.  I’m glad that Lily brought up an entire support group to bring Daniel’s idea to fruition.  Lily doesn’t care, more people to call her boss. 

Can someone please tell me what Diane has done to Ashley that is more deplorable than what Tucker has done to her?  

Does Rodan’s cleavage have its own contract with guaranteed air time.  First the wardrobe department dresses Sally in a god awful color and than it’s Rodan’s turn to wear a god awful color.  

Faith and Moses were inseparable in GC but now he is with his mother instead of Faith?  I thought they would be together since Faith didn’t come home.

Sorry, but if we have to sacrifice Diane to finally get Phyllis tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail, let Jeremy Stark kill her. Or let him kill Phyllis too, while trying to kill Diane. I love the Diane actress, but I'm willing to accept some collateral damage to be free of Phyllis.

What's the big scandal about being offered immunity to cooperate with law enforcement in prosecuting a criminal?  I don't understand what Nikki and Phyllis expected Roseanne Rosannadanna to do with that information.

In addition to having an affair with Tucker, Diane found out that Abby had run him over and she used that to blackmail Victor and Ashley.  But Ashley has always had some disdain for Diane, going back to when she figured out that Jack was late to his own wedding to Patty because he had been with Diane. 

I have never been that into video games, even as a kid, so I can't see where this is going.  Will Daniel's old addiction to online porn factor into this somehow?  It looked like there was something going on with him under the surface, and Lily kind of confirmed that.   Summer continues being stupid.  What kid Lucy's age wants to hang out with a kid Harrison's age?

Okay, I feel the need to weigh in on Harrison’s hairstyle. It is an actual thing. My nephew and his girlfriend live in Arizona, and their little boy had long blond curly hair like that, minus that super-annoying piece that hung directly over his left eye. Sometimes he wore it in a ponytail, or even worse in a man-bun (boy-bun? lol). They finally cut his hair before he started pre-kindergarten, thank goodness. But it is a style. This show is filmed in Los Angeles, correct? So this child’s parents may well have chosen the hairstyle, and I have no doubt that the tone-deaf writers would not have considered the idea that this style would not fly in Wisconsin or NYC or even Milan. They just don’t bother with such details. I have difficulty believing that this child has another part playing a boy who identifies as a girl. That’s pretty heavy stuff. LlAs others have said, he doesn’t have the acting chops. The biggest line he has spoken on the show so far is “Mashed potatoes!”.  Two entire words. Yay!

[Joimiaroxeu]

There's an old expression which feels appropriate to me right now at 0'dark thirty: I said. What I said.

[Chatty Cake]

Summer handing out jobs at Marchetti. So stupid amd unbelievable.
Instead of whining to Jack, why not have Diane go to Sharon and inquire about putting Phyllis in another coma?

[MsMalin]

I discussed Daniels idea at dinner with my son who is a gamer. To quote him, looking for/rescuing a princess is an old trope which would not fly in today's culture. That theme was made popular over 25 years ago (Zelda, Mariocart) which would not fly today. They will have to put a huge amount of $$ to launch this but I'm sure we will see it just in time for Christmas.

Gee, I don't know though, maybe they could create a hero based on Billy rescuing Chelsea. Or Nick rescuing Sally. Or Jack rescuing Diane.  This show seems to like the theme.

[JNavarro]

Daniel's pitch to Devon and Lily sounded like the beginning of a sci-fi horror story. 

I would have a lurid curiosity if this wasn't daytime AND the current staff didn't botch every slightly ambitious story they touch.

And f#ck Ashley's 'knowing' look that she's got the upper hand and seems to believe the bull that he is in love with her and 'all he wants is her back in his life'.  Even when he tries to win her over it comes off unbelievable and half-hearted.

Does that life redemption come with Prime 2-day delivery?  Let's send a copy to every dictator so the world will be right again.  I was shaking my head when he started talking about a computer game, but lost it completely when he described it.  And Lily and Devon just ate it up.  Guess they can't put 2 (Heather and Lucy in Portugal) and 2 (Daniel has some artist block or the other that has crippled his career) together and come up with 4 (this is a domestic situation about Daniel and Heather and Lucy) so they should just back off and maybe call Billy to take Daniel to Chelsea's 'facility' and he'll be alright in about 72 hours.

Wow Nick, how about you just shut your pie hole!

I couldn't stand him lecturing Nate. And its not that I love what Nate did. But damn, look at all of the misdeeds your family has done including your recent foray into causing Ashlands death. Nate even tried to soften the conversation by complimenting Sally's work but Nick just had to barrel ahead like the bull in a China shop that he is. I can't believe what a sanctimonious jerk he has become.

And if Billy and Lily don't break up after today's tit for tat, I don't know what will break them uo!

[Joimiaroxeu]

Looks like the decorating elves showed up at Chelsea's apartment overnight.

Aannnddd TGVN led with a left hook but Chance treated it like a glancing blow. Of course Victor would assume his precious Abby was Chance's victim. Of course.

The heck, Nick refused to shake Nate's hand. What a overpaid d-bag. But then, Nate doesn't know where Nick's hand has been so he was probably better off.

Geez, Billy just walked right into Chelsea's place, so entitled. She probably should start locking her door unless she wants him to stay in her business.

Chloe, maybe you ought to get off Sally's coattails and find your own way. But do ask her where she gets her hair did because Sally was looking rather Veronica Lake meets Rita Hayworth today. Fabulous.

Scurry back inside your glass house where you belong, Nicholas. Trying to make Nate feel bad about having the job you were using to #metoo Sally is a waste of time.

Billy not-a-therapist basically diagnosed Chelsea with PTSD. He must've been up all night reading the wiki page so he could sound like he knew what he was talking about. 🙄

Hmm, Victor is nothing if not observant. But instead of giving Chance the 3rd degree perhaps he ought to go sit on Abby until she comes clean.

Look at Nate and Nick puffing up their chests and swinging their limp peens at each other. Yawn. AFAIC both of them are little more than Victoria's tools.

When are we going to find out what Sally's big new career is? My money is on event planning.

I can't with Devon. He wasn't trying to hurt anybody? He doesn't regret what happened? Guilt, m.f.-er. Look into it. It's a basic human emotion felt by decent people, which you clearly are not.

Sorry, Victor, Chance isn't going to fight for "family" that so easily stabs him in the heart. He's not emotionally needy like your kids.

Lily, drop kick that fool out of your life. Billy's in the throes of another addiction and you can't compete.

Sigh, Chance was too good for Abby. He could've lowkey trashed her cheating behind to Victor but he took the high road. Class will tell.

Billy: If I don't need saving anymore, Lily, where does that leave you?
The World: Oof! Billy went all the way in. No lies detected tho.

Heh, heh, heh. A business trip to CA for Victoria & Nate. Be sure to pack your rubbers, fella. I have a feeling you're going to need them.

Darn, I was hoping Chance was finally going to tell Abby to leave his family's house. Jill, where are you? Your grandson needs help putting out the trash.

Who else in GC can rock tight half leather pants but Sally?  I’m not at all fond of the waist band though. 

Chloe Chloe Chloe, as with Chelsea, she thinks more about herself than Sally. Chloe you are nothing more than a leach on Sally’s butt. Chloe you are basically an insufficient hanger on. 

Wasn’t there a buzzer on the front door to the apartment building?  Nostrils knocked but the door just had to be conveniently unlocked so Nostrils can make another dramatic entrance.  Chelsea go directly back to the facility, do not pass go, do not let Nostrils give you any so called words of wisdom. 

Devon Devon Devon playing hide the salami with Abby was just the last straw that broke Chance’s back.  You were the one that volunteered to be Bowie’s “father”, you were the one who questioned Chance’s ability to be a dad, you were the one who insisted on visitation rights, and you were the one who insisted on adding Winters to Bowie’s last name. You kept reminding Chance that your relationship with Abby was more than friendship.  You and Abby left Chance no choice but to turn to his job where he felt really wanted. 

Chelsea/Nostrils nothing but dribble dribble dribble. The same for Devon/Abby, Chelsea/Chloe, Sally/Chloe, and Banana Breath/Natey Nate Nate. The only conversation that is of any truth true substance is Lily in giving Nostrils a reality check.  Of course that arrogant piece of 💩 has to put the blame on Lily.  

Does Cruella think that she would get anything but great reviews about Natey Nate Nate?  Nobody in their right mind would tell Cruella what that actually think of Natey Nate Nate.  

I can just imagine what Victor would say if Chance told him about Devon and Abby. So What!

Wow, Lily must have taken her smart pills today!  I kind of loved her letting the air out of Billy's pompous self-satisfied delusions.  The rude asshole texted Chelsea while Lily was in mid-sentence.  She should have gotten up and walked out right then.  Chance also showed remarkable restraint with Victor, who is sounding more and more like Jodie Foster's character in Nell each day.  They aren't going to waste Chance on Chelsea, are they?

I'm wagering that Sally's hot new business idea is...wait for it...an immersive video game experience platform extravaganza.  Because when it rains influencers/podcasters/COOs/video game designers, it pours influencers/podcasters/COOs/game designers.

[JNavarro]

Is the part of the story where we're reminded "depression has it's ups and downs"? Too late to even pretend this is serious anymore.  Next.

Grampire seemed like a little boy trying to scold the far more composed Chance today.  Absolutely thrilled that Victor's dogshit cliche argument about "family" in fact motivated Chance to...ask for an immediate divorce.

I've suspected that Devon has wanted Abby in some way for a long time now.  So the way he's been acting IMO (and I'm in no way defending it) makes a lot of sense- he's quite good at this whole passive aggressive angle to get what he wants.

It was really mature of Lily to bring up the concerns she has.  Wasted on this asshole, though.  I don't think she wants to save him, at all.  He twisted the argument (or tried to) that she was making this about him leaving CW, when she specifically said it was about doing THIS shit with his free time that he has no business doing.

Preverts, Show may be a shitstorm right now but you folks are lighting it on fire with your most excellent flaming takedowns!  

That, and THE SEASON, makes me reflective of how many things for which Show makes me grateful.

For instance, where else can I see a mucus plug made both sentient AND able to speak out of his own ass?  Bless your heart, Beely ButtBiscuit Nostrildumbass Abbott.  It seems that Lily is starting to figure out that she can't make a silk purse out of that pig's ear, though I'm hoping she's starting to see that if she had ButtBiscuit stuffed, he would make a fairly decent Elf on the Shelf.

I can't think of where we would be blessed by the goat-like bleating and 4-hoofed sex appeal of a Dickolas Newman, both hands working his pocket pool game with a vengeance while lecturing Mr. Dr. CEO Nate Natey Nate Nate Flaming Asshole Nate?  Where else could we see two barely optimal AKTORS reciting their lines with all the fire and talent of a 3rd grade production of Long Days Journey Into Night?  And to think they didn't even need a pee break or a juice box!  I hope Nate learned that if you want to get Nick on your side, a lttle ball scratching and mutual nosepicking would go a long way.  Don't forget the J.T. mask, either.

Victoria is definitely casting her walleye in Nate's direction.  She's ready for the spread sheet of passion when she's wearing a dress from her Miss Gulch collection.  I hope that broomstick to L.A. seats two!

I can't get behind what Chance did to Victor today, though.  Admittedly, it was hard to understand Mr. Mumbles, but I'm almost positive Victor was asking Chance where the bathroom was and all Chance did was walk out on him.  Sharon's going to be in for a shock when she checks out the storeroom later.  

Who can't admire Devon's absolute refusal to put any emotion or life into any of the lines he says?  It takes a lot of effort to deliver every line as if he died several hours before Show started recording.  

I almost forgot Chelsea.  It doesn't even seem like acting does it?  Not even a little bit. Not even a teeny, tiny, miniscule whisper of it......

You just don't see talent of this quality anymore, you really don't.

Banana Breath needs to preserve some of that smoke for his haughty and probably horny bitch of a sister. Idgaf about Nate but he hasn't quite been offensive enough (yet) to earn a lecture from Banana Breath. 

I haven't been over a SL this quick since Buttbiscuit's dumbass, pathetic attempt to trick Adam into committing libel or slander or whatever by acting like the shit for brains fuck-up he truly is in public. Chelsea is not sympathetic on her own and with Nostrils in her face playing arm chair psychiatrist just makes it 100 times worse. I swear this SL makes me want to take back everything I said about Sharon being a quack quickie therapist. Hell, I'm so desperate I'll throw in (almost)everything I've said about Dr. Taylor Hayes from B&B being a mega quack for free! Anything to stop this garbage pail of human being from talking about Chelsea's mental "coping skills", and what caused her to be such a conniving wench most of her adult life until about 5 minutes ago, as if he's not fresh off of a WebMD page. 

Billy fuckboy Abbott was in rare form. Actually I'm exaggerating, because it's not rare at all for that pompous asshole to be well...a pompous asshole. I was actually shouting at my T.V "LIGHT HIS ASS UP LILY!" I wasn't remotely surprised but still completely disgusted at how he tried to turn Lily into the problem by using her true assessment of is behavior into an accusation against her. Like the typical narcissist, Nostrils here has quite the shoddy memory. Buttbiscuit I seem to remember you getting bored working with your girlfriend and that being the point of friction not the other way around. She didn't make you do anything you didn't want to do. But when it comes to man children, that's pretty much the exact problem. Oh well, Lily seems to be at her limit with this shithead and I couldn't be happier. If only she did this a year ago and we could've been spared some extremely gross couch sex scenes. Better late than never.

Dear Friends,

This show sucks hot steaming horseshit so badly that I cannot even snark on it heretowith. I find myself 'watching' taped shows in about 5 minutes because I f/f through everything. I don't give a shit about annnnny of this drivel. God it sucks so bad.

After reading the last day's posts I am convinced that the posters here should get together and write a revival of "Soap". It would be a smash hit.

Faith and Moses were inseparable in GC but now he is with his mother instead of Faith?  I thought they would be together since Faith didn’t come home. 

 We'll probably never see either actor again. The characters will show up as new college grads afterwhile, and there may be some mention that they used to date as teens, but that will be it. And, given that it was the saddest, dullest teen romance EVER, I would be okay with that scenario.

I've suspected that Devon has wanted Abby in some way for a long time now.  So the way he's been acting IMO (and I'm in no way defending it) makes a lot of sense- he's quite good at this whole passive aggressive angle to get what he wants.

Yes, I'm starting to see it that way too. Maybe that's the reason why he was so ready to offer his swimmers when Abby was looking for donors. He wanted to make sure her first child was his. I might could respect that if he'd been honest about it but I guess he couldn't as long as Chance was sort of in the picture.

But putting Abby and Devon together would create a supercouple the likes of which Y&R hasn't had in a while. They're both the children/grandchildren of legacy characters and they're both extraordinarily wealthy. I think together their net worth would be second only to Victor's. Now all they have to do is prepare Dominic for his future role as the ruler of all the key GC families. 😏

Seriously, Nate? When you were with C-W apparently you overpaid to get Elena out of her NM contract (if former CEO Sally's stunned reaction to the $$$ amount was any indication). Now that you're in charge of NM you want to buy Elena back? If Lily's alert at all she'll insist you pay at least what it cost C-W to get Elena. So basically you'll be wiping out your competitor's loss as well as NM's gain. I don't see Victoria being thrilled, or Nick if he gets wind of it.

"Get Chelsea through this crisis"? How is that any of your responsibility, William? And how are you going to determine when Chelsea can move ahead without your constant attention? Geez, this guy.

The heat between Sally and Adam radiates off the screen. But I wonder how long the writers can keep them in this limbo state before the fans revolt?

Hmm, Billy was kinda bothered about Lily and Chelsea having a private chat. Don't want the girlfriend and the sidepiece comparing notes? 😏

Elena, you are putting whatever goodwill you have left with Devon and Lily at risk if you decide to jump ship back over to NM. That's a big bridge to burn.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Victoria. You need to keep Kay's name out of your mouth. She wouldn't have wanted you to screw over her grandson and try to call it "just business."

Chelsea: Lily, woman to woman, I'm just letting you know I'm feeling much better and I intend to take your man.
Lily: pshht, think twice, sweetie. Billy's already spoken for, by my cooch.
Chelsea: or so you thought. Watch me.

Interior design. Ehhh. That's likely going to put Sally on a collision course with psycho Phyllis and Marchetti Home because they'll be bidding on the same projects. 🙄

Hah, Nate doesn't know he's messing up Victoria's possible seduction plans by inviting Elena to come with to CA. Three's a crowd, tee hee.

BILLY! He basically lied to Lily less than a minute earlier. But wow, I'm surprised Chelsea rejected his call.

@Joimiaroxeu Thanks for always taking one for the team here, now I don't have to watch today's shitfest. xo

I know many of you are devoted Sally/Adam shippers, but I can’t get with his harassment of her. It falls into the “she says no, but she really means yes” toxic trope and it’s a terrible message to put out there.

Also, not fond of the “Billy saving Chelsea” plot because IRL, you have to want to save yourself and take more than 2 steps to come out of the abyss, on your way to rebuilding your life. A shining armour will not come and neither will a free apartment with easy access to socialize.  (It doesn’t help that I hate this washy spaghetti Billy incarnation.)

Let me get this straight. Aside from a post-show PSA done by actors MCE and JT, what good is this Chelsea/mental health story doing for anyone who suffers from depression? You can’t start out all serious and earnest and then veer off into whatever the hell this crapfest of a storyline is.

Attempting suicide and failing is apparently like hitting the emotional jackpot in Genoa City.

This.

[Waldo13]

It’s still quite evident that Sally has feelings for Adam by the way she continues to look at him 🔥.  Sally’s head says no no no but her 👀, ❤️‍🔥, and “lips” says yes yes yes definitely yes.  Adam is correct when he says they are 100% compatible.  This maybe injecting wishful thinking but Sally’s interactions, with Banana Breath, seemed forced.  There is no chemistry but Sally needs Banana Breath as a distraction from Adam. 

Cruella, Banana Breath has every right to look at Natey Nate Nate with a jaundice eye.  Doesn’t Banana Breath’ responsibilities include NM and therefore Natey Nate Nate.  It’s funny how Cruella can back up her CEO while Cruella can’t back up Banana Breath’s CEO. One would think that Cruella wants to be more personally involved with Natey Nate Nate😜.  We will see if that opportunity arises since Cruella is taking Natey Nate Nate on a business trip to LA. 

Nostrils you are so disingenuous. The way the monkeys with a keyboard keep playing this out, Chelsea wouldn’t be over this for years. Even if the monkeys with a keyboard are even close to bring Chelsea’s mental state to the real world, Chelsea may never get over it.  After a while the monkeys with a keyboard may choose to ignore Chelsea’s mental disorder like they have done with Sharon being bipolar. Thought when occasionally mention, Sharon is still bipolar where there’s no cure just medication.  

There is a Chelsea/Nostrils connection that the monkeys with a keyboard fail to mention is that Chelsea and Nostrils have a child together.  Question: does Johnny know that Nostrils is his real father?  

What kind of 🐂💩 is Chelsea giving Lily. Ask me anything and I will answer them as truthfully as I can.  There is the truth and nothing but the truth. To quote Yoda, “Do or do not.  There is no try.”

I don't think it's big deal at all. Since there are so many Newman's and Abbott's these days almost everyone is going to get to marry one if they want to. It was significant back when Billy & Victoria got together because it was the first time offspring from the two biggest rival families married. But now we have Summer & Kyle, and Noah & Allie, too. We may have had Moses & Faith if they weren't cut.

Same with money and companies. Gone are the days when there were 3 powerhouses, John, Victor and Kay. Today it seems like almost everyone is wealthy and/or in the "c-suite". Does it really matter if one character has two billion, another has ten billion, and another has 20 billion? There is nothing for any of them to aspire too really, they simply go back and forth buying each other and trading CEOs and COO's. They are all special and wealthy. Yawn.

Giving Dominic six names is just trying way too hard. Just hearing his name makes me chuckle because it's so ridiculous, partly because the child isn't really a descendant of most of his own names. By blood he is a Newman, Davis, Hamilton, Shepard and a Hendricks...I guess. He doesn't have John Abbott's, Phillip Chancellor's, or Neil Winter's blood even though he has all their names pasted on him. Do I get to be future ruler of something if I name myself YRfan Gates Musk Bezos Buffet Walton? 

If anything I think it's rather sad that Devon doesn't have his own name on his own child. I guess Devon's Hamilton last name ( from a poor crack addict groupie) isn't prestigious enough to make the legacy supercouple cut?

The writers are just too brand new with this Devon is Katherine's grandchild bit. Katherine having offspring is nothing new to Y&R. She had her son Brock around since the beginning in 1974. No one he got together with was ever thought to be a potential legacy pairing, he was just Kay's son. Same with Mac, also a grand child of Katherine. The way Bill Bell wrote it, the big heirs were from Phillip Chancellor. Kay didn't have any of those so she spent decades of her life trying to get them from Jill who did. Hence the 40 year rivarly.

That bothered me too. If Devon was so proud of having Neil as his father, why didn't he take his last name? I don't want to think about it too hard though because whenever I think of the whole  Dom clusterf I get infuriated.
