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

[Joimiaroxeu]

Listen Sally, no drunken mercy sex. I want you and Billy to get together without any negative emotional factors. Give him time to lick his wounds first

Nick, you know how erratic Sharon has been lately. If she tells you she killed Heather and caused Phyllis' car accident, denial is not the way you want to go.

Hey, Diane and Jack were in cahoots to get Kyle away from Victor. Yay! Now do Glissade.

How does it feel to be dismissed by Victor as mere collateral damage, Kyle? Aww, sucks to be you, huh?

Claire is a ride-or-die chick. I was surprised she left the wedding reception with Kyle before she had a chance to catch the bouquet. Oh well.

Holey hail, Abby's reception dress was even worse than her wedding gown.

Audra caught Abby's bridal bouquet! Kind of a waste though, no? She's anti-marriage.

Nick kept gawking at Sharon like, "You did all that? By yourself? Who are you????" Yep, Nick, your ex is now a criminal mastermind and tech wiz.

So Abby got a wedding and Nikki got Chancellor. It's been quite a giving day for TGVN. 🙄

Sharon, before you call Chance and confess, you better consult a lawyer. And a doctor. Hallucinations and blackouts are no joke, especially while you're in jail for murder.

Re the previews: looks who's back to start eating the show again. Thanks for nothing, supermax prison. 😡

[Waldo13]

Once again I have to ask. How do you cross a center line when you both are going in the same direction?  Unless there is more than one road, out of GC, to get to Sharon’s house.  One other thing is that both cars, if you noticed, were facing the same direction.  With Auntie Jordan and Ian involved, this would be a moot point as to who killed Heather and the car accident. 

Another ruse comes to light with Jack and Diane but, Victor, as usual, will still have the upper hand.

Did Crazy & Cult kill Heather to get the ball rolling?

The thought entered my mind that JG has a drawn-out, completely outlandish, totally unbelievable storyline plotted out that would include Sharon not having killed Heather but disposing of her body because the Cameron manifestation of her mental state told her to.

[babyhouseman]

Jill has never been a good person or mother. She favored Cane over Billy. She was very snotty to Esther over the years because she was just the dumb maid. Now I'm missing Mrs. Chancellor.

A Simple Recap - Josh Morrow Acts with His Sweat Glands

Kyle gets fired again and it’s both real and spectacular.

Devon makes a speech before he and Abby head off to Fiji. He wishes his wife a happy birthday and thanks *gag* Victor and Ashley for bringing Abby into the world. Extremely rude to forget the turkey baster.

Audra catches the bouquet. Nate smirks.

Billy commiserates with Sally and plots to uncover a relic that will seal Victor in the netherworld forever. Sally suggests he eat first.

Nick hurries to Sharon’s house. On the way, he discovers a half eaten Hot Pocket that Christian lost under a seat. Sharon blubbers that she’s run Phyllis off the road during a blackout. Nick explains that she’s a good person who wouldn’t intentionally hurt anyone. Sharon is about to blow his mind. Check the transcript:

Sharon explains that Phyllis is right about her and needed to be silenced.

Nick (inner monologue): My tum-tum hurts. What could it be?

Sharon goes back to the beginning, the reemergence of grief over Cassie, the anger over Faith’s and Lucy’s car accident and, oh yeah, her personal demon, Cameron Kirsten.

Nick: This situation is escalating quickly. Maybe if I sit very, very still, my sphincter will maintain structural integrity. Lol I don’t even know what that means.

Sharon talks about the relentless pressure from dead Cameron to exact vengeance on Daniel. She describes buying poison and breaking into Daniel’s apartment to mix it with his whiskey. She couldn’t do it.

Nick: If I blink, it’s all over. I don’t know if this couch can handle the detonation. I’m sweating. I got Niagara Falls pouring down my buttcrack. Sharon doesn’t need a brownout on top of a blackout.

Sharon tearfully explains that Heather came home just as she was leaving. There was a confrontation. Sharon passed out. When she woke up, Heather was dead.

Nick: Oh hell no. The payload is in the chamber. I gots to make a run for it. Wait, did Sharon just say she broke into dipshit’s apartment?

Sharon reveals how she disposed of Heather’s body under Cameron’s guidance. About how he came up with a new way to get justice for Cassie - by framing Daniel for Heather’s murder.

Nick: Maybe I can absorb it back into my body. Reverse osmosis? Have I solved mankind’s poo problem? Does Sharon expect me to believe she carried Heather’s dead weight downstairs and yeeted it off a bridge? Whoa. Maybe she’s an X-men. 

Sharon concludes her tragic tale, apologizing over and over while Nick remains sweaty and silent. He’s getting that look on his face, the thunderous look of judgement and moral superiority. Sharon wonders if it’s time to call Chance yet?

Anyhoo, Jack and Diane arrive home, where their diaper baby is pitching a fit. They decide he’s in the right emotional state to reveal they’ve been playing everyone in order to pry him out of Victor’s talons.

Nikki and Victor smugly congratulate each other on the wedding, the raunch, Chancellor and most of all, for being Genoa City’s most revolting people.

PREVIEWS: Phyllis in another coma? Hot damn! Cartoon villain Aunt Jordan celebrating with champagne? Meh. Rest assured that Victor will blame Cole and Michael when he hears about this.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Maybe our complaints about the clothes have paid off, lol. Y&R is bringing a costume designer on board:

Any guesses how those 2 got together?  Er, is there a hook-up app for over-70 singles in prison?  Hmmm.

Welp, I was right about Jackie & Diane puttin' on an act.  The reveal came quicker than I thought . . . as did Sharon's teary/screechy/whiny confession.  Ah, but the Dead Martin reveal is gonna take way longer.

Btw, were we watchin' the Sharon Case reel for her Emmy nom?  Special category for Best Actress Acting to a Brick Wall?  Oh, that Josh Morrow, he sure was straining to show some kind of emotion.  But nope, he couldn't do it.  Even after 30 years, he still stinks.  And I mean that literally, cuz he only looked like he was trying hard to squeeze out a fart.  And I believe he did.  Good work, Josh.  Is there an Emmy category for that?

Can't believe I'm saying this, but Sally & Billy may actually NOT be a nauseating match-up.  Don't hold me to that cuz I'm sure I'll change my mind.

So Adam is a no show at his sister's wedding . . . and NOBODY (including his 1,000 year old zombie father) seems to notice or care.  OK then.

Hey Nikki, remember when you had to go to rehab and you begged Lauren to run Newman Media while you were gone? In addition to her job as owner of Fenmores? Hey Victor, remember the last time Michael kept your felonious hiney from going to jail? You two are a perfect pair of ingrates.

Brad used to do that all the time.  Knowing DD's sense of humor, I'm pretty sure it was intentional.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Hey, it's Dr. Elena! Yay!

While Sharon was spilling her guts to Nick, he looked to me like he was trying to remember if he'd left the stove on.

Jack: Victor Newman can never hurt you again, Kyle.
Joi: weeeellll, it's only Monday. Let's not get hasty with the promises, Jackie.

At least Nick decided to do the right thing by calling Chance. Too bad he and Sharon forgot Faith is still in GC and could walk into Sharon's house at any time.

I like Elena's hair now without the blonde highlights she used to have.

And of course Mariah also showed up at Sharon's place. I thought they should've gotten Noah on video call so he too could join the discussion about Sharon's mental crisis.

Claire is treading a fine line between a loyal Newman and supporting her Abbott boyfriend. She better hope Kyle the risk is worth it.

FFS, Kyle, there's no problem with your parents. Your widdle fee-fees hurt because you were outsmarted from all sides on your Glissade play.

Sharon was looking quite casual chic in her Going to Jail outfit. Brava.

Hey Jack and Diane, look in the mirror. Haven’t you dropped to Victor’s level, of deceit, with your plan to “save” Kyle.  Being self righteous, Jack and Diane think this was the right thing to do. 

Chance, was it a hit and run or was Manic Phyllis 🕷️ run off the road.  You can’t have it both ways.  Come on monkeys with a keyboard are we to believe that Manic Phyllis🕷️ has a severe concussion?  Are we to believe that the air bag didn’t protect her?  

I can’t tell you how much I hate when Claire/Eve wears her hair away from her hair face.  Now that she is going out with Kyle and away from Auntie Jordan’s clutches, you would thing the monkeys with a keyboard would make her a little more glamorous.

A Simple Recap - The Doctor Is In

Did you know? A dense bouffant exerts enough gravity to draw one’s mouth into a fatal death spiral, the lips endlessly winking out of existence as they tumble toward the event horizon. Poor Kyle. His parents explain their master plan to pry him out of Victor’s clutches.

Sharon emotes her ass off to one of her houseplants - my bad, that ficus is actually Nick, who finally, finally opens his cakehole to say “Nah.” He thinks Sharon is experiencing med-related hallucinations like the one where she finds him a desirable romantic partner.

Phyllis is mercifully silent as her annoying kids wail and rend their garments at her hospital bedside. Elena is back, running the one room hospital and partial hallway with quiet confidence. She explains that Phyllis needs more scans, as you rarely see pterodactyl bones on x-ray. Phyl also needs a neurologist, and Summer wants to know what that means as she is very unfamiliar with their area of study.

Kyle works himself into a serious case of diaper rash as he tries to cope with his parents’ grand plan. He ticks off a list of all the things Jack and Diane have been doing and saying to make sure it’s all fake. Sure enough, it’s all as fake as any orgasm Claire will have with Kyle. The pomp bristles with indignation that his mother was mean to him. Diane reminds him that he was such a dick, people mistook him for a dildo and tried to return him to the adult toy shop next to Rexx Rugs. Kyle’s nose wrinkles into that rabid weasel sneer we all know and love.

Sharon’s daughters return home, because an arrest for murder is a special family occasion. Faith is a mess and blames Phyllis, and Nick, garbage ape to his core, admonishes her not to point fingers. Mariah isn’t buying Sharon’s confession either. Nick has already called Chance, who needs him to fly his sweaty ass to the hospital as Summer got lost on the way to the vending machines.

Elena tells Phyllis’ kids that she suffered a contrecoup blow to the brain, possibly due to the car accident but more likely stemming from years of repeated snake-like movements. Hey, JG, nice fancy word. I watch old episodes of Perry Mason too. Also, who is the vanishingly small audience for two idiots blubbering praise and tributes over Phyllis’ prone form? Daniel works himself into a lather over Sharon, who he is now convinced did the deed. Summer can’t follow his logic because, well, Summer.

Kyle and Claire go out for drinks so Kyle can process what an ass he is and what a giant warthog deuce Victor is. Angelic Claire encourages him to let go of the bitterness. Meanwhile, Diane frets at home that she’s lost Kyle forever.

Chance arrives and is dumbfounded as Sharon tells him how to do his job. She changed into her “getting charged with homicide” outfit, so you know  shit be serious.

Is Vic selling it to Diane or is he giving it to her to manage?

Yes. For some reason the writers are doing this thing where they're making it sound like being the CEO = owning the company. Audra, Lily, and now Diane have all been saying they "own" companies they merely run/have run as CEOs. In GC the only people for whom the CEO = owner thing works are Victor, Jack, and Devon. Sorta Jill too until she stabbed her son in the back and sold Chancellor to the GWD.

And now to bring the pedantry on this beautiful morning, Merriam-Webster has my back:

Since the tricksters' reveal, I don't think Diane ever wanted to be or is gonna wanna be anywhere near Victor and his machinations.  And she's probably getting her CEO at Jabot back.  My money is on Audra getting reinstated.  Boo to the writer(s) if Kyle gets it back.  Which could happen since it looks as if he is in a relationship with granddaughter Claire/Eve.  My hope is that he gives it to MyBabyNikki and drops the deal for Chancellor.

As if Victor would hand over Glissade to Diane. I thought he was just making her CEO. This all makes no sense.

But let’s get to the most jarring moment In today’s show: Mariah sitting in society wearing a sweater. Like, a normal person’s hoodie sweater! Stood out like a sore thumb.

[lightninggirl]

I can’t figure out why Ian Ward wants to get to Sharon. I remember the whole “drugged bride Mariah,” but I thought he was targeting Nikki as well. I can only guess he’s removing the obstacles to Mariah one by one, starting with her mother first (why he couldn’t take out Banana Breath at the same time is beyond me). I can’t imagine Jordan behaving long enough to take care of Ian’s hit list first before her own. 

And now we’ll NEVER hear the end of how Phyllis was “right” about Sharon. Vomit.

I bet the old turdball has somehow set it up so Diane, who now apparently actually owns Glissade, will take the fall for the product Kyle stole so he could market and launch it through Glissade.  Then, poor widdle Kyle will either have to fess up and take the hit or let his mommy go down for corporate theft while Jack has to sit by and watch his wife and son disintegrate.

But it's all for family, as Victor says.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Jordan and Ian acting like old pals and sharing a room at the NoTell Motel. What the what?

If Michael considers himself Phyllis' good friend, I can't see him agreeing to be Sharon's defense attorney. Nick didn't think that through.

Chance having to admit to Daniel the murder charges against him were a mistake and had been dropped. Ehhh. Needed more groveling IMO.

Claire sure was wearing a lot of eye makeup today. Was it for Kyle? He probably only looks in her eyes to gaze upon his own reflection.

I'd love to know how much bail Sharon had to pay get released from jail. She's wealthy and loony enough to be considered a flight risk.

It'd be great if Ian could provide a quick summary of why he's pursuing revenge against Sharon. This feels like a strange retcon.

Ditto comments upthread: nah, Diane, don't fall for it. You better have Jabot's attorneys dig into Victor's transfer of Glissade for a poison pill. He can never be trusted.

Oh FFS, Daniel, stay away from Sharon! You keep making things worse!

[Waldo13]

Yes yes yes, I know soap operas in no way resemble reality but I’m sick and tired of the monkeys with a keyboard pissing on me and telling me it’s raining.  So Sharon’s car was in the vicinity, but how did Sharon get home?  Did anyone check to see there was no damage to Sharon’s car and they were both facing the same direction.  Chance said there were tire tracks to show that the center line was crossed but did anyone match the tire tracks to Sharon’s car.  

 

Finally, how did Daniel get past security?  

 

It looks like Victor gave Diane a white elephant in Glissade.  

 

Has Auntie Jordan met her match with Ian?  It looks like it could be Godzilla vs King Kong.  

 

[boes]

Well that was fun, wasn't it?

Nothing like one more scene of Kyle swallowing his lower face while sneering at Jack, over-enunciating his contempt while fairly describing his own actions and motivations and then ascribing them to his parents?  You stole from your dad's company, you hairball.

Would it be so wrong if his parents gave Kyle a super wedgie followed by a super swirly?

I wish somebody would remind Victor of how much his rebuilt Raunch resembles, in style, at least, the Abbott home.  Mansion envy.  That should make the old wart hog's tusks explode.

Poor Nikki, so wanting to gloat that she's the new CEO of Chancellor and then Sharon ruined it with that pesky murder confession.

I'm hoping this is MS's Emmy reel.  Phyllis has never been more watchable than she is when laid out in a coma. All she needs to add is a little drool.  Brava!!!

Now, any chance Daniel can join her?  He's done the impossible and become more annoying than Summer.

What I want for Christmas....For it all to make sense.

Ian might have some sads about not getting control of Mariah, but what does that have to do with Heather or Daniel ?? Just whacking Sharon would suffice.

Jordan has no dog in that fight either.

Prisons in Wisconsin give out recreational passes for felons who have homicidal plots to carry out ??

When is Sharon going to wake up and let us know it's all a faulty med issue/brain tumor ??

Still convinced Daisy is the only person, past or present, that has cause to harm Heather or Daniel, for keeping her child away from her.

And ....really....another Philly coma ?? Will she revive in time to interrupt yet another Sharon/ Nick wedding ??

The New-Newman house gives me claustrophobia.

A Simple Recap - Use Your Imagination 

Imagine that you are a trained scientist with an electron scanning microscope. You would still fail to find the subatomic sliver of sympathy I have for coddled rage monkey nepo-baby Kyle. Instead of being humbled by his discovery that he’s a naive bell end whose surface level anger was easily manipulated by a warlock, he twists everything so he can still be the victim. Claire comes armed with a side part that could step to Nate’s and a sweatshirt I wore in junior high, but still can’t pierce Kyle’s velvety soft bubble of manbaby privilege.

Nick hires Michael to defend Sharon, but she doesn’t want any part of it.

Chance tells Daniel he’s a free man. Daniel celebrates by jumping up Chance’s handsome buttocks with both feet and demanding to know if Sharon copped to the crime. Ineffectual Christine meanders into Phyllis’ room, strangely unaware that Phyllis would smother her with a pillow if the roles were reversed. Chris actually fixes her face to say she’ll pray for Phyllis and that she can’t imagine a world without her. Really, asshole? It’s easy if you try.

Tessa and Mariah discuss Sharon. We learn Faith has shut down emotionally, and here’s hoping when she snaps, it’s with dickhead Daniel.

Kyle has a new angle on his parents; see, Jack is as bad as Victor and is equally at fault for the feud. Right? Remember that time Jack had Victor kidnapped and replaced by a dangerous narcotics kingpin? Kyle is such a shitbird.

Victor signs Glissade over to Diane, but guess what? Victor the omniscient and omnipotent is slipping her a poison pill. Yep, Victor always, always has to the upper hand, which leaves no possibility for drama or suspense.

We learn that Ian’s part of the plan is to isolate Sharon from everyone she loves. If Jordan helps Ian with his bullshit, he’ll help solve her family problems. Things are still vague.

Daniel decides a really good idea is to show up at Sharon’s, and her baboon butler lets the dim bulb in. He wonders “How could you?” Ask your mom about plotting and covering up, nimrod. Oh wait, she’s in a coma. *happy dance*

So Diane is stuck with some kind of burning hot potato, with Vic throwing Pissade at her?  I still don't get it.  Papers are signed, says Vic.  For what?  Is it a sale or he just gives the company to her -- for nothing?  And she's not at all suspicious of this?  Er, huh?  And Vic may think he has the upper hand, but he doesn't know that Diane is not fighting with Jackie, so that could screw up his "grand" plan.

Well, since her plan is to make Kyle the CEO and it is a freebie to her, she could just sign the whole mess over to the whiney little shite and call it a wash.  He does deserve it since he is still blaming/mad at his parents and pretty vocal about it.  Let him show everybody how great a businessman he is.

Still very curious as to how Jordan got out of prison.  And how she met up with Ian.  And why they are even part of any of the stories here.

Also, have to point out that a confession is not proof.  Especially with Sharon's mental health issues.  Dropping the charges on Daniel is not the same as dismissing the case in court.  He could still be a 'person of interest'.  (Ffs, watch a few true crime shows, JG.)

[rcc]

Watching the two evil minds today is more interesting than the constant saving Kyle storyline. Enough already!

[lightninggirl]

I know this is just me trying to make sense of the nonsensical, but Sharon's "confession" has consistently included the words "I can't remember." If there's a piece missing (i.e., her actually COMMITTING a murder) then how is she arrested for murder? There's enough reasonable doubt that if I were a DA, I wouldn't try to float that past a jury.

I hate how they gave Sharon a bipolar disorder diagnosis and then the character is going to have to be the scapegoat for whatever dumb crap happens in GC until they put her in the grave. I love Sharon Case (minus the facial 'enhancements') and I just feel for her having to open up her scripts each week. 🙄

Still very curious as to how Jordan got out of prison. 

On today's show, Ian Ward said something about having arranged for some kind of switched identity trick to let Auntie Jordan walk out of prison, but it wasn't made clear exactly how that happened.

So Diane is stuck with some kind of burning hot potato, with Vic throwing Pissade at her?  I still don't get it. 

When Nikki asked TGVN why he'd handed Glissade over to Diane, he said something about Diane being in for a rude awakening when she finds out just what-is-what with the company.

May I say Phyllis never looked better?

Ian served his time so that’s why he’s out of prison. I guess 8 years was enough punishment for all Ian’s crimes against humanity but Tara is still in prison after 3 years for a white collar crime which really wasn’t a crime.  It’s still not clear how Ian was able to get Auntie Jordan out of jail.  

 

It’s just like Billy👃 hold himself harmless and never actually take responsibility for his actions.

A Simple Recap - Saying Stupid Things

Ian Ward is a free man who used his connections and resources to pull an identity switch that allowed Jordan to escape her max security prison. All he wants in return is for Jordan to risk her newfound freedom by going out and procuring the delicious tears of Sharon’s daughters. He foolishly utters the word obedience. Jordan isn’t a naive cultist but instead a sucker for flattery. By the end of the episode, she’s been persuaded to carry out Ian’s mission of misery.

Daniel has a big mad at Sharon and is half-assedly restrained by the garbage ape. My head knows that Daniel is actually a victim, but my heart insists that he’s a schmuck from a long and undignified line of schmucks. Michael tells him to GTFO and Nick finally spirits him off to visit the hot mess in the hospital bed.

Diane decides she wants to give her job to Kyle so he’ll finally stop pouting, but Jack is like “Hell to the no. I don’t want that sneaky motherfucker creeping around the eye shadow and shit.” Not an exact quote.

Oh good, it’s more OCD PSA with Connor and Chelsea who would be better off STFU. Sally drops by Crimson Lights so Chelsea can self flagellate until everyone is uncomfortable. Sally gives her some hard truths about what assholes she and Adam are but pledges to be civil at work. Unfortunately, Sally goes off the rails with all kinds of nonsense about how Adam and Chelsea are TWU WUV FOREVAH. Hey, writer guy, repeating over and over that Adam and Chelsea are destined to reunite is no replacement for chemistry, which those faithless fuckwits utterly lack.

Adam and Billy have one of their no-winners dick measuring contests, exchanging nepo baby barbs and other trash talk. I found myself waiting for them to make out. Adam, who has blossomed into a dazzling douche flower, still blames Billy for expecting his girlfriend to be honest. You have to be a real putz to make me side with Billy, but Adam rises to the occasion.

Nick visits Phyllis in the hospital and apologizes for not believing her. Fuck outta here with this crap. Nobody wants to see that psycho get her tires pumped. Summer is confused, as usual, so Nick takes her and Daniel into the pop-up waiting room to explain. Daniel doesn’t want to hear any of it and Summer mimics him like a dumbass parrot. Daniel talks about Sharon murdering Cameron Kirsten, which are you out of your fucking mind, dude? He also blows up about Nick’s white knight complex, which is not entirely misplaced.

Michael consoles Sharon until Mariah takes over. He goes to coffee with Christine, who suggests that Phyllis will not be pleased with him for defending Sharon. Michael says he adores Phyllis, but he also knows that their friendship is a one way street to hell. Again, not an exact quote.

Billy witnesses a fake fight between Jack and Diane at the Abbott manse. He buys it completely. Billy tells his brother that he’s in a downward spiral and could disappear into his own nostrils if it continues.
