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

[NinjaPenguins]

One of the worst songs in the whole history of forever, I’d rather take a tour of Billy’s left nostril than ever hear it again. 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Quote

It's like a bad SNL skit.

Yeah and the song was huge hit, all over radio and TV despite the savage criticism aimed at it. Anka proudly accepted the "Male Chauvinistic Pig of the Year" award from Ms. magazine for it, but he also claimed the song was intended as a tongue-in-cheek shot at the 1970s anti-choice people.

As an homage to standard soap opera tropes I generally don't mind WTD? storylines. But knowing that CH & MG's IRL relationship is a factor kind of annoys me. I think Sally is being written out-of-character now.

I think I've discovered the source material for the Sally baby storyline. 

It's based on the Paul Anka, "She's Having My Baby" philosophy of baby birthin', Daddy Knows Best and Momma's barefoot and cookin in the kitchen.  Baby's a trophy to Daddy.

Finally, a storyline you can hum along to.....

Next week on The Young and the Restless, the show delves into why letting women vote leads to infertility, mannishness and an inabilty to read a recipe.

Great minds think alike boes. I was also thinking about that song but I was waiting to post it until Adam was the father and he and Sally were back in each others arms. That song wouldn’t be appropriate for Banana Breath and Sally because Banana Breath doesn’t really love Sally and Sally only thinks she loves Banana Breath. For Sally and Banana Breath another song comes to mind.  “If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with”.

Don't even joke about that, NinjaPenguins!  ButtBiscuit's left nostril is set up almost exactly like the "It's A Small World" ride at DisneyLand (only difference being all the singing dolls are of him) and this song plays on a loop along with Donny and Marie's "A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock 'N Roll".

I heard you could get pregnant from a toilet seat or from swimming in a pool, so who knows?

In Sunday School, the nuns would tell us girls that we shouldn't bathe in the same water our fathers or brothers had bathed in, because we might get pregnant - of course, this was 60 years ago, so maybe they've changed their line on that one.

Sharon Case was a beautiful woman,  However the Botox and fillers she has poisoned her body with has made her look like her face is about explode at any minute.

I seem to remember reading on some fan site that the 52-year old Sharon Case was having a romance with the 36-year old Mark Grossman, so maybe all the cosmetic work she's had is an attempt to not look 16-years older than her boyfriend.

Not a link but you might try Paramount+.  It has all the CBS shows on it so you could get B&B as well.  I got it to watch the last season of The Good Fight. No commercials and cheap at $10 a month.

But we did get an insight into Sally's true unfiltered feelings today, so that was something. 

and if that wasn't enough for her to get an abortion, I don't know what is. 

Also, Nick and Chloe telling her she's going to be a great mother and the kid is the most important thing ever really torches my kindling.  What the fjuk do they know?  Nick is an absentee father and Chloe makes up percentages to prove what she believes.  They have no idea what kind of mother Sally will be.  They can't see the the facts (having two brothers in the running, the grandfather from hell and starting a new business) because they are too busy making up their own fiction of how it should be.  When did Sally get so dumb that she can't make a decision based on the welfare of a child?  Wasn't she some kind of super smart executive, talented designer and all around wunderkind?  Do these skills not transfer to her personal life?

Yes to your post, 1000%  

As others have said, Show is writing Sally as very different than before, taking her cues from Nick, of all humanoids, and Chloe, with a pretty transactional view of babies, at least she was with Delia's conception and birth.  

Also, as others have noted, we've yet to see Sally show any enthusiasm about motherhood but she's show plenty of hesitancy.

I'm really liking Audra. She's not buying dullard Nate's denials for a second. He's out of his league in more ways than one.

Not sure how I feel about Tucker and Ashley or her buying up his debt, but it's good that the Newman clan didn't win. And I did like the look on Ashley's face at the end.

Agreed. Old Sally would have been decisive and in charge. I do have to say that Courtney Hope is playing a tortured Sally in a believable way regardless of whether Sally should be acting this way.

Nick knows it's the beginning of the end.

Conner: Describe the Newman's

Adam says:

Victor: prick who loves to emasculated his sons

Nikki: stuck up snob

Victoria: bitch who has the real balls

Nick: dumb as a rock

Well, I just got up--this is a great way to start the day.  Now I have to drop whatever I was going to do and watch today's show.

My big question now is: Will Nick want to continue schtumping Sally? Or will screwing the woman who is pregnant with his brothers child act as a cock block? Please humor me and give me your opinion.

[PatsyandEddie]

 

Sally thinks Nick is the safest option. She keeps saying Adam is chaos and she’s right but her feelings for Adam are a world apart from how she feels for Nick.

Mark and Courtney Hope (Sally) are dating now. They have great chemistry and the fact that they are together in RL makes me chuckle when she's all "we aren't meant for each other!" lol

They really do continue to sizzle in their limited scenes together. On the other hand, she and Nick just seem like sad friends with benefits. Maybe it's just the current story line, but I totally bought Nick with Phyllis. They look like that had fun and actually liked each other.

Ummm, I am fairly certain that Nick will think he can fuck the fetus into becoming his with his super Newman sperm. Then he'll eat another banana and scratch his balls.

ETA: I laughed outloud when Mop said, "I'm working behind the scenes to find out how bought out Tucker..." I'm sure she is because she's so skinny she could disappear behind a plant stem or a chair leg, but I'm not sure that's what 'working behind the scenes' means Vic... How these actors actually deliver these lame ass lines is astonishing! The glazed over middle distance, eye fucking looks that are Natey Nate's go to expression now? Mop uttering such hackneyed 'hee look at me uttering business lines that were used in the Little Rascals!'. And Sally's quivering, overly made up lips in that garrish lip color, or Adam's lingering glances of hatred towards Billy parenting former Demonseed Conner...You'd think the cast would just go on strike until actual writers - or Ninja - were hired!

[Desperado]

So the bandaid is finally off! Father! Fathers! Fathering! Good dad! Good dad! That was a lot.

Having an Adam-Connor-Chelsea scene right before a Billy-Connor-Chelsea scene really shows how much the latter doesn’t measure up. 

Chelsea was right (can’t believe I’m typing this) in reminding Adam that him working for Newman always goes bad, but the silly man is not listening. 

For once, I liked what Victoria was wearing, but the stylists did Audra wrong with the sparkly 80s suit thing. 

Tucker was so turned on by Ashley telling him she owned him. 😂

[Waldo13]

Ashley, you only own Tucker’s debt. You cannot own a person 😜.  You only “control “ to the extent of calling his debt or giving him more time to pay off his debt.   

Conner asks Adam, “What’s so great about the Newmans”?  The look on Adam’s and Chelsea’s face 😂😂😂.  As Adam was describing his family, he used words that can be interpreted as a plus and as a minus. Depends on your point of view. 

PTL!  Adam, in Jerry Springer like YOU ARE THE FATHER. Did I interpret Banana Breath feeling wrong that he was relieved that his not the father but pissed that Adam was able to cuckold him for a second time?  I’m definitely not reading spoilers anymore for the way Adam’s reaction to finding out that he’s the father played out much different, in the scene, than what was written.  The interaction between Adam and Sally was in 3D and not from an emotional less 2D page.  So the monkeys with a keyboard curtain the scene between Sally and Adam so that can devote more airtime to Sally/Banana Breath and Nostrils/Chelsea. 

Audra looked very pretty today. Really liked what she was wearing.  Audra picked up on a budding relationship with Natey Nate Nate and Cruella. Woman are very observant and can pick up on when another woman is sending signals beyond a work relationship. Natey Nate Nate’s denial gave Audra even more evidence of the impending romantic interlude. My wife was that way and picked up the romantic vibes between my boss and his assistant. Men, such as Chance, picked up on Devon and Abby even before “porn night”. 

Does Chelsea and Daniel have any type of relationship?  Do they have any type of history?  If not, than why would Chelsea think that Daniel would give her a job?  Is it because of the self help premise?  There are games, already in existence, that I play that I find very useful to my health. I find that I have to play these games right after watching an episode of Y&R 😜. 

 

Yes, “Having My Baby” was controversial back in 1974, but it managed to make it to the Billboard Chart No. 1 song and was certified a gold record.  The song was a duet that was sang with Odia Coates an African-American that could have added to the songs popularity. Paul was most popular in the ‘60’s. Even today there is a lot of controversial music and the music, you enjoy, is a matter of taste.  

I loved Chris Stapleton singing The National Anthem, at the Super Bowl, in a traditional country music style but I’m not a big fan of country rock.  I’m a big fan of the oldies where the lyrics are paramount and today the music is more performance based.  

 

[Joimiaroxeu]

What's so great about the Newmans? Again, I love it when the jokes write themselves. 🙄

Not a fan of Audra's big suit jacket today. Too sparkly. But dang if she doesn't have gorgeous skin.

Why is Ashley being so nasty to Tucker? I feel like her owning him financially should be more entertaining than it is. Mopey Tucker is no fun to me.

Chelsea giving life advice to Adam was rich.

Nice bit of product placement for that game Billy brought Connor. Sony should just put their entire catalog on Y&R since it's all in the family anyway.

Ashley undercutting the Newmans in a business deal is also odd to me. She doesn't generally go against Victor but I'm not sure how she gets along with Victoria. Do those two have beef?

Now they've got Chelsea propping the Omega Sphere vaporware. Ehhh.

Lol, Audra, "risky and foolish" is accusing your boss of boinking his boss. Besides, you're hardly one to talk given what you had going on with Tucker.

I think Baby Newman must've been doing somersaults during Sally and Adam's conversation. Even inside the womb she or he must see that Mommy is using Uncle Nick as a shield against Daddy.

So Ashley has someone else lined up to buy McCall Unlimited. They must be the source of the money she used to grab Tucker's outstanding loans. Wow, who could it  possibly be?

Ugh, I just wanted to kickbox Billy in the junk today. Close your legs, jerk. Nobody wants to see your crotch except maybe your crazypants girlfriend.

Poor Adam. He's utterly discombobulated by Sally's news.

I remember, back in the day, watching Ashford and Simpson on tv covering the song, but changing the lyrics to, "don't have babies", as there was a lot of hubub about teenage girls getting pregnant because of the song.

I didn't catch much of the show today. I may try to watch tonight. I'd like to see Adam's reaction to the news. It's pathetic that Nick and Sally have no chemistry. Like someone upthread said, they're like sad friends with benefits. My personal opinion, in my mind only, is that when MG and SC split up she blamed CH for stealing her man so JM broke up Adam and Sally in true caveman revenge for his long time pal. Even if the truth is that JM saw something new and shiny and demanded it, it's very unprofessional. Whatever the truth is it got us the miserable coupling and took away from the show. And as Jeanne Cooper always said, the show is the star.

IMO, Sally should block Nick's hoohah by doing what any girl who grew up as a carny would do: know the show is over, pack up her duds, and leave GC. Neither the biological Daddy Adam or Nick haven't even managed to solve their issues with their own Daddy. If I was Sally I would let both of them know I wasn't going to let any child of mine be born to eventually be drafted as a conscript into the "War of the Newmans." BTW, Sally and Connor had some scenes together that I found quite touching when she was with Adam. Has she ever even met Christian, the son of "Great Father Nick?" The MWT's or producers need to hire an actor to portray Christian like yesterday, this is a glaring omission in the Nick/Sally storyline. Oh, and has anyone seen little Hairyson lately, or has he been consigned to the kitchen or his bedroom? These MIA kids are giving me a "Flowers in the Attic" vibe lately.

And Audra, glittery houndstooth blazers aren't a thing. Unless you were trying to razzle dazzle Natey Nate's glittery eye fuckery, and if so, then touche girl! Tou.Che.

You’re right - I remember the safety pin now! Although when it comes to office wear, I prefer a safety pin to the hooker, one sleeve, glittery, too short, etc. look they’ve had so many women wear on the show.

I missed the part about Ashley using someone else's dough to buy Tucker's debt. Please tell me it wasn't a Newman who fronted her the money.

If I were Sally's fetus I would have vacated the premises with that red dress she's been wearing.

Now I'm wondering what the point of yesterday was.  I thought Sally's daydream established that she really loved Adam and was only in love with the *idea* of Nick.  She also daydreamed that Nick did not love her.  I hope this doesn't turn in to some custody bullcrap between Adam and Sally.

1.)  I didn't know it was a real game.  Is it based on that Thor movie?

2.)  Oh my, the beef goes back to when Victoria was a child and Nikki prodded her to call Ashley the Wicked Witch.  When Ashley and Victor were married, Victoria was a constant thorn in Ashley's side and always tried to undermine their marriage.  They were also rivals for Cole and, more recently, Stitch.  I don't think they ever fought over Brad, but I'm a little fuzzy about the timeline.  Their relationship has been chilly more often than not.

3.)  It would be completely out of character (although that doesn't seem to stop these writers), but could it be Devon?  Yes, he's busy with his lawsuit, but I could see him teaming up with Ashley.  Or she could be using her own money.  She got plenty rich from those patents, didn't she?

4.)  If he spread his legs any wider, his toes would be pointing in the opposite direction.  Is he auditioning for Cirque de Soleil?

[Joimiaroxeu]

Okay, it's messy but here goes my understanding of the Who Gets to Own Tucker? Follies :

Tucker borrowed a lot of money to try to keep McCall Unlimited (MU) afloat. NE decided to buy that debt at full price to force him to sell his company to them. They figured the lenders would rather get top dollar for the loans instead of bargained prices.

Victoria has mentioned having to sell off some NE stuff in order to gather the necessary cash and was concerned that the delay might allow someone else to buy the debt before NE did. Victor said that the only local competition with enough money would be Devon but he didn't think Devon would pull such a move on his own father. He also didn't think Tucker could go to Devon for help because they were currently estranged.

Meanwhile, Tucker and Ashley have it out when she gets back from Paris. He ends up telling her in order to make amends he'll sell everything and get out of the tycoon business. Ashley was like, "Whatever, dude" and leaves him hanging. He then runs into Victoria in the evening and offers to sell MU to NE, lock, stock, and barrel.

The next day Tucker tells Ashley he has an offer in play to sell MU to NE. He figures he'd get more money doing that versus being forced to sell it after all his loans get called in. That's when Ashley informed him she had bought all his debt.

Now Tucker realizes he'd better close the deal with Victoria and NE before they find out his debt has been bought and he loses negotiating power. Ashley tells him nah, he has to tell the Newmans his offer to sell them MU is retracted because there are other plans for it.

Victoria finds out Tucker's debt has been grabbed before NE could buy it. However she still wants NE to buy MU. Today Tucker told her that's no longer his decision to make.

So: Ashley somehow has become as rich as the Newmans or Devon and was able to swoop in and buy Tucker's loans on her own? No, today she seems to have indicated someone else is involved. I figured whoever it is must have helped her with the debt purchase and is also going to buy MU eventually.

It could be Devon I guess but are he and Ashley cool like that? Maybe Abby threw in on it too, or maybe it's someone who hasn't been introduced yet. 🤔

ETA: would Victor have gone behind Victoria's back so he he could hand MU directly to Adam? I don't see Ashley helping him do anything that benefits Adam though.

It would be pretty interesting and soapy if Devon and Ashley teamed up, but I'm afraid of the nightmare scenario of Victor and Ashley. This show always rewards Victor.

Is it possible - just tossing it out there, spitballing a possibility, giving ol' ButtBiscuit the benefit of the doubt here, but, what if he's NOT manspreading?  At least not intentionally.

What if, instead, he's learning to play the accordion with his knees and he just automatically assumes the position whenever he sits down?  I could certainly see an Oompah band in his future.

In any case, each scene of him spreading wide should be accompanied by

If he IS learning to play the accordion with his knees, I hope hope hope he learns "Lady of Spain" and the "Diddly Do" polka.  That'd be a career move for him I could really get behind.

Of course he is going to keep on doing what he's been doing because, dontcha know,  he's the best father ever, even if it is not his kid.  He knows that it will not harm the child - just look at Summer, AKA Supergirl. Chloe can give us probability stats on this to confirm.   He's going the distance with this pregnancy (and that includes benefits) so that he can claim to be the better man for the daddy job.  After all, he's a great father!  Just ask Christian.  He'll muscle Adam out of the delivery room because he has "been there" for Sally.  My only hope is the stress of the brother feud and Nick overbearing actions will cause a miscarriage.  Or Sally leaves town, contacts Maria and Tessa (who are probably not going to get that Portland baby) and they all live happily ever after.

I'm not a business person and know zip how this works.  So does this mean if Tucker came up with the money to pay off his debt, Ashley would have to accept it?  Then why not get the Newmans' bucks, pay off the debt and then sell them the company which is what he had proposed to them anyhow?

I also believe Abby is in on this buying up of debt.  She and Ashley are not estranged (as far as I know) and she may see it as doing a good deed for Devon-payback for trying to takeover his company.

The family tree thing had me laughing.  Where is Christian going to hang and are we going to describe him as "dumb enough to get locked in a garage"?

Summer: See my face? Why don’t you eat shit?

Summer: Nice bribe, but I have meetings.

Kyle: What if I sensually describe a lame ass meal to you?

Summer: Sure, I told you that I needed time and that our fight wasn’t some trivial thing. However, you’re clearly going to keep badgering me and trying on new apologies like underwear, so, whatever.

Kyle: Hey, I’ll be apologizing more than once per week. Oh, a text from Victor. He’s got news.

Summer: This shit again? If you let him in, he won’t leave until he drinks every ounce of your blood.

Kyle: What a drama queen. You make him sound like a vampire.

Summer: He can only travel if he’s carrying the soil of his homeland in his pocket.

Nick: I was in the neighborhood. Walgreen’s was having a special on bag balm.

Sally: Adam was all ‘let’s get back together’ and ‘let’s be a family.’ It was chilling, like being in a room with a serial killer.

Nick: Huh? Sorry, I’m already halfway gone. Also, you don’t smell that, right?

Sally: Enough about me and my silly problems. How do you feel? That’s what matters in this whole crazy situation. Let’s get that manpain out in the open and just wallow in it.

Nick: No, no. Aw shucks. I’m just a nice, sensitive guy who will heroically put my feelings aside and be supremely humble about it.

Sally: You’re amazing. Remarkable. Wonderful. I am not worthy of your love.

Nick: Do you also feel like someone is glaring death rays at you? And they’re like far away but able to broadcast fiery psychic waves that leave a rash on your ass?

Sally: Nick, please. Let me validate your precious feelings.

Chelsea: Here we are, at the brick wall of cliches. What’s up?

Adam: I knocked up Sally, but she’s still hot for the Flintstones cosplay.

Chelsea: At least she didn’t lie, like I did with Connor.

Adam: My brother is a real, authentic, gold-plated, weapons grade, five star entitled piece of shit wrapped in a dumpster fire. The best part of him ran down my father’s mummified leg. He takes and takes and takes. He took Christian. Uh, has anyone seen him lately?

Chelsea: You did the right thing at the time. And you might have to accept that Sally has been replaced with a Stepford cavewoman.

Adam: I can’t. For crissakes, Sally is degrading herself for an ape who eats the butt off animal crackers and puts them back in the box.

Chelsea: Behave, Adam. As my therapist always says, Miss Lawson, you are cracked like a sidewalk.

Jack: Me too. You wouldn’t believe how much work I have to do. Like, I am desperate. Contrary to my numbnut son’s belief, Adam actually did stuff. I gotta put out a bunch of fires and here you are with twin water tanks.

Billy: Do you even remember the Jaboat? The gambling? Me banging your wife and rubbing your face in it?

Jack: Yeah, but I have too many projects going. Let’s pretend you’re a completely different person and ride this crazy train to hell.

Billy: Responsibility? Not my jam. Speaking of which, can I sponge a meal off you?

Jack: Let’s catch up. I didn’t actually run Jeremy out of town, my son is a lying hat fucker and my romance with Diane is about as popular as chlamydia. How are you doing?

Billy: First, let me lean back in my chair so you can look upon my nostrils and despair. The truth is, I have feelings for someone and I’m not sure if I should proceed.

Jack: For her sake, probably not.

Billy: It’s Chelsea. And it’s really complicated. She raped me, I stopped her from jumping off a balcony, she’s a Capricorn, I’m a Cancer…

Jack: Truer words. Look, uh, take it slow. And think about coming back to Jabot before I recover my good judgment.

@@@@@@

Sally: Well, I had sex with him again. I suppose I should look wistfully at his hairy knee. Is it too soon to get my hand sutured to my abdominal area? I gotta rub it all the time to remind people I’m now a womb on legs. Sure wish he’d stop leaving string cheese wrappers in the bed. I wonder if he’s dreaming about me.

Nick: Bananas. Zzzzz. Ba-na-na. Cheese. Why did my dick smell like salami yesterday? Christian, did you change my oil yet? Oh god, I’m having the racoon and toilet brush dream again. Nooooooo!

Adam: Am I crazy? What does Sally see in him? She always looks like she’s starting to feel the effects of eating raw chicken when she’s with Nick. Is it just me who sees this?

Thank you Ninj, from the bottom of my heart

[Chatty Cake]

Why are we being tortured with Nick and Sally? He is coming off like a stalker and she doesn’t look all that happy with him. I wanted a fall wedding for Sally and Adam. Then I wanted a Christmas miracle. Then a Valentines reconnect. Now I’ve resigned myself to Nick hiding a pot of gold in his underwear for Sally on St. Patrick’s. I’m just so disgusted.

Why is Chelsea in a wig? The one thing she had going for her was nice hair. I half listened to the nonsense about a video game for people suffering from depression. Sure. A video game instead of real interaction sounds innovative.

Billy needs a job and Jack needs someone other than his weaseling  bouffant wearing son around. Win win?

Audra is onto Natoria or Victhaniel. I bet she will use this to her advantage at some point. 

 

[Julyolo]

Is it just me or is Kyle's Shoney's Big Boy hair contagious? It seemed today that both Billy and Adam were exhibiting some early symptoms of being infected. As to Chelsea's hair, they have plopped a wiglet on the front part of her head over her real hair to give her a shaggier look. Sadly, it is a darker shade than her own hair and ill-fitting. Last week they tried to style it as bangs. Shag or bangs, we know that's where she's going with Billy.

that was Paul Anka good song he wrote and sang it when his wife (1st) was expecting one of their daughters, he had 5 girls.  At that time, it was very popular.

Sally is this idiot who has been impressed by this sex maniac and thinks he's the best thing alive.  I wish they'd send this man so far away and never to reappeared.  He's too old to be in bed (the actor) with these girls.  Glad finally it got to be Adam's kid.

It’s mentioned in the Geneva Conventions for a reason. #themoreyouknow

The only "nice" thing was Ashley taking Victoria to get tested for HIV during the Ryan time. That was eons ago.

Well that was “spoiled whiny man-babies” hour, and I skipped the Nick parts. The hot chocolate musical chairs bit didn’t help.

Chelsea made sense again today, but sadly Adam will not listen to her.

That’s all I got.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Nick told Sally she was lucky he just happened to be in the neighborhood. Gee, what was his excuse the other 935,741 times he showed up at her hotel room unannounced?

Sally, don't lay on the bed with your boots on. Ew.

After he watched his date walk off with his worst enemy, Billy should've ordered some toast to sop up the jelly with. Tee.

Nick has to be one of the most insecure men in GC. Sally is constantly having to reassure him that he's her hero, she wishes the baby was his, Adam is a PITA, yadda, yadda, yadda. He's pretty obtuse too because Sally has told Nick she wants to be more than his fcuk buddy. She just hasn't said it in plain enough words.

I liked Chelsea's soft suede coat. Maybe in a different color though.

Devastated? Oh come on, Nick. You wouldn't know devastation if a 2-ton slab of it dropped off the Top of the Tower onto your thick head.

Heh, Diane must be sucking Jack's brains out at night. Offering the Jabot co-CEO job to Billy is insanely stupid and I give Billy credit for admitting it.

Kyle is a tool. You're married to a tool, Summer. Tool.

Wonder why Billy didn't mention to Jack that he and Chelsea were also spending time with Johnny? Or that Adam wasn't thrilled about Billy presuming to be a father figure for Connor?

Jack actually looked proud and happy for Billy after he encouraged Billy to follow his heart with Chelsea, but cautiously. Ehhh.

Nick having sex with Sally now, knowing that Adam's baby in there makes me want to vomit. I dunno, it just seems disrespectful to me. <shrugs>

[Waldo13]

Yes, Kyle is important for you to gravel with a fancy lunch and taking more than a hour for lunch. Didn’t Summer say she had important meeting this afternoon but she will have a glass of sparkling rose.  Let’s just say it’s not the non alcoholic type, sparkling rose will hit her like a ton of bricks because carbonation makes the affects of alcohol get into your blood stream quicker.  Now there is something else that the monkeys with a keyboard may or may not know that the cheap version of sparkling rose is called cracklin’ rose or as Neil Diamond called it “Craklin’ Rosie”. In essence it’s a folk story about Canadian Indians who didn’t have a girlfriend to go out with on Saturday night had “Cracklin’ Rose” to be their girlfriend for the weekend.  This is Kyle’s plight until he can mend fences with Summer. 

Compare the scene between Sally/Banana Breath and Adam/Chelsea.  For me, even Adam/Chelsea have more chemistry than Sally/Banana Breath.  The other thing that’s quite noticeable, for me, is that Adam’s acting ability makes Chelsea’s acting better but Sally’s acting ability cannot help Banana Breath’s acting get one iota better.  Chelsea and Adam talk about Christian but Banana Breath doesn’t mention Christian to Sally. Instead Banana Breath has to berate Adam like he has no place in the baby’s world and he’s going to come between him and Sally.  In all actuality, Adam didn’t come between him and Sage. Banana Breath found out that Adam was the father of Sage’s baby but still stayed with Sage but Banana Breath didn’t say anything about this to Sally to reassure her he’s with her. Instead Banana Breath berated Adam so maybe he will use this as an excuse to leave Sally. The fact that Adam still loves Sally and Adam and Sage was just a one night stand bolsters the fact that  Banana Breath will opt out.  

Revisionist history Nostrils?  Didn’t you loose Jaboat to a woman and not a guy. Yes Jack, Nostrilsis an Abbott and that makes him qualified to help run Jabot like being a Newman makes Cruella qualified to help run NE. 

The flashback is Adam and Sally was just a reminder of how 🔥🔥🔥 they are together. Please please please monkeys with a keyboard, cut the crap and bring Sally back into Adam’s arms.  Sally stop listening to Mrs Chipmunk chirping in your ear and trying to convince you that you would be better off with Banana Breath when you should follow your heart and be with Adam.  

 

[Stpauliegirl]

So, is Sally going to raise her baby in her hotel room?  Doesn’t Adam live there too? Maybe he should evict Tessa and Mariah from the tack house.  Why are Kyle and Summer still living with Jack?  I seem to recall them building their own house with the intention of only living with Jack until it was complete.

What is it, Waldo, can you not stand the Nick Newman character, or do you despise the actor who plays him?

Speaking for only myself, BOTH.  He's wooden, and an epic fail at being the romantic lead.

I know I’ve pretty much hated the character of Nicholas Newman from jump.

I propose testing this hypothesis.

[Js Nana]

Kyle and Summer -

1) I didn't really catch on to Y&R until about 2017, so I missed the first 4 actors who played Kyle, but the actor who's been playing him since 2018 must really come cheap for the powers-that-be at Bell Dramatic Serial Company to keep him on in the role

2) Please, people at Bell Dramatic Serial Company, please have the Y&R writers stop having Summer call Victor Newman "grandpa" when she's mentioning him to other people, because it makes her sound like she's 12-years old.  She's a responsible business executive now, so she should refer to him as "my grandfather" when she's mentioning him to others; she can call him "grandpa" when she's talking to him.

What's your take on Kyle - would the character be less ridiculous if he was being played by a better actor, because I think the one who's been playing him since 2018 just keeps getting worse-and-worse at it.

Could he be less ridiculous?--for me he is not someone I pay much attention to the character or the actor, which maybe says something about the actor.  He's the only one I've seen, having only been watching for about 18 months.

ATTENTION GENOA CITY PD Be on the lookout for Traci, she's been missing for ages. Description, blonde, pretty and very cheerful.  With that description she would stand out in the crowd of sad sacks.

Eeeewwww, losing her 36-year old boyfriend to someone 34 must really suck for the 52-year old Sharon Case, no wonder she looks like she's had cosmetic surgery.

[Js Nana]

Nick sleeping with someone who's carrying Adam's baby; it's kind of like the Nick/Sage/Adam(posing as Gabriel Bingham)/Christian storyline, except Sage really thought the baby was Nick's - shouldn't Nick be getting a little bit tired of women giving birth to his brother's babies while they're involved with him?

I have absolutely nothing against JM. I call him Banana Breath because of his body and facial expression.  I don’t like that he has no compassion for Adam. Summer kills his unborn child and Summer is rewarded a new car. Adam saves his life and Faith’s life twice. For Banana Breath what has Adam done for me in the last 15 minutes.  So basically I have nothing against JM it’s his character and his stick up his ass style of acting. As I have nothing against MS other than her character and her over animated acting.
