Also, how da fluck did Claire pull off being thrilled about it?  What human being, inching towards 30 wants a horsie for Christmas?  Talk about presumption. 

Oh @boes, you knows I loves ya, but you clearly do not know the magic of girls and horses! Tis a thing. I know, I'm one of them, and if anyone gifted me a horse - well, one where the gifter had a stable and stuff to house said horse - I'd piss myself with joy! Then I'd go sleep in the barn with my new horse.

*additions to Christmas Wish List:

• Bring Chancesome on preferably dressed in a Santa Speedo complete with jingle bells balls
• Let the New Old Raunch Christmas tree short out and burn the damn place down again
• Time reverses itself and the Newmans take the money they would have paid for all those many ornaments and put it to good use at a homeless shelter, food bank or soup kitchen Nice try but never gonna happen, even if it's George Costanza Backwards Day!
• Phyllus gets trapped in a very deep snowdrift and isn't found until the spring thaw thus coining a new phase of homo sapiens named The Big Red Flaporectus Era
• Boris and Natasha find they are truly in love and run off to Brazil, never to be seen again please baby J, please!

 

[tanyak]

Oof. I’ll start with the kids:

• Yes, Auria (sp) should’ve been with her parents and upstairs sleeping on Christmas Eve. Let the babysitter go home!
• Katie and Johnny: I am not aware of any parents who throw teen/tween parties on Christmas Eve. Parties for entire families? Sure. The more sensible response was simply to say they were spending Christmas Eve with Billy.
• Christian: Are we sure that he really even exist anymore? I feel like we’re seen occasions over the last several months where Nick is somewhere where it would make sense for his child to be, and his name doesn’t come up once.

As for Phyllis. Yeah, she’s a complete nut, but she did hit on something today. Even if you believe Sharon’s story that she did not kill Heather, she still threw the body off a bridge and cleaned up a crime scene. And she stole Heather‘s phone and pinned the murder on Daniel. Those are all crimes. And maybe they’ll try to explain all of that away, but they didn’t do it today. So all the holiday cheer and celebrating seemed a little odd.

Right there with you! And if said horsie came with his own puppy? Double the pleasure, double the fun! 🐕🐎❤️

[NinjaPenguins]

Sharon certainly hit the nail on the head - Phyllis is happiest making other people miserable, harassing her “enemies” and externalizing her self hatred. Remember how Daniel is the real victim? Phyllis doesn’t. She turned on him with a quickness when he suggested there must be more to the latest development in the case. And yes, Phyllis, mothers everywhere understand the instinct to ominously wish for unholy vengeance over the holidays. Crazy motherfuckers.

All the best to my fellow posters this holiday season. Your snark is glorious.

[ScoobieDoobs]

I’m puzzled why they let Phyllis rant & rant & rant, when she should’ve been told to get the eff outta there.  Sharon has every right to tell The Red Beast get outta her house.

Was this supposed to be for Emmy reel 2025?  I put it on mute.  She sounded like such a maniac, I expected Show to cue — They’re coming to take me away, hee, hee, ha, ha, ho, ho, to the funny farm . . .

Nick stood there frozen.  Dumb & useless as per usual.

Uh, Show, it’s winter in the Midwest & likely below 30 degrees & NOBODY is wearing short sleeves!  Only thing I noticed in the sappy Abbott scenes is Kyle’s short sleeve shirt.  

Well, they’re referring to Chance, but he is def been MIA, & Connor Floyd is not in the credits & hasn’t been for weeks.  What that means, who knows?
 

[ScoobieDoobs]

So no sappy Xmas scene with Boris & Natasha?  Aw, so disappointed, Show!

More sappy Abbott scenes?  Eh, who cares?  Good to see a snarky Ash & notice the shag is growing out.  But would’ve rather seen the elderly Bonnie & Clyde.

Meh. It’s probably very warm in the house and it’s not like anyone in that town walks anywhere. They go from the house to the car, car to the restaurant and back. I can buy him in short sleeves. Besides, he’ll wear a coat.

Whee, the look on Ashley's face when Diane asked to sit down with her and Traci was textbook "bish please."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Phyllis, you stay talking to yourself.

Can Kyle ever have a conversation without a glass of booze in his hand?

Ehh, I don't feel like Diane needs to be groveling for Traci and Ashley's approval anymore. They have never liked her and they probably never will.

Alan was out at Sharon's house earlier "today" to hypnotize her. How is he now snowed in in another city? Continuity error.

Dang, Sharon went awf. She read Phyllis like an EV oil change instruction manual written backwards in Dothraki. Hard.

Faith, sweetie, you shouldn't have told Phyllis Sharon just remembered someone else was in the room when Heather was murdered. You may have undermined Sharon's defense.

Oh look, Hurricane Phyllis is going to ruin Daniel's Christmas Eve too. She spreads her hatred of Sharon like a virus and unfortunately for everyone there's no vaccine.

Tessa did a good job singing Silent Night a cappella. Brava!

Wow, the original pages from her journal was quite a poignant Christmas gift  from Diane to Kyle. Hopefully Kyle won't be a jerk later and accuse Diane of writing them last week.

Jack gave Diane a pendant with some stones from Dina's hallowed necklace. Diane gave Jack another watch to add to his collection. Hmm. 😐

Daniel, have you met your mommy before? Phyllis is like a gangster: when you're in her crew, if you ain't with her you're against her. You better keep any new doubts about Sharon's guilt to yourself.

Mariah, Faith, and Tessa running outside and acting like they'd never seen snow before. I can't.

Huh, there was no Christmas Eve scene with the Winters family. Wonder why not?

Hey Manic Phyllis🕷️, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.  Can someone please say restraining order.  I can’t tell if Manic Phyllis🕷️is talking about Sharon or herself.  Joy to the world except for Manic Phyllis🕷️ who makes the Grinch look like he’s pro Christmas. 

It would have been a much better episode if Manic Phyllis🕷️ was visited by the spirts of Christmas past, present, and future. Maybe Manic Phyllis🕷️ would become more self aware and self important 🤞. 
 

ETA:  the beautiful Appaloosa Victor bought for Claire/Eve is at least $125,000. It’s girl and their horses as much as it is men and their trucks. It’s being able to control a powerful animal and being able to control a powerful machine.

How big was that necklace supposed to be???  Jack, Traci, Ashley, Abby, Kyle, Theo all already have custom pieces made from it but there was still some left for Jack to make something for Diane?  Dina must have displayed in a wheelbarrow.

Don't get too mad.  Sharon and her gang are "celebrating" with Nick and any gathering with him is never fun for long.  Just wait till he starts arm-farting "The First Noel".

My niece just asked me if EVERYONE had hair like that back then.  Well, I never did, but everyone in Soapland sure did, especially Danny!  He just said in a recent interview that Jeanne Cooper looked to him for “hair tips”.  Uh, no words to that.

Ash’s muddy poodle hair gave me a giggle!  And Vic always looked like he oozed slime, eh?  Blech.

Well, it almost looked like it was heading for a bed scene with Boris & Natasha, but alas no, Show thankfully spared us from that terrifying visual.

[Sake614]

Why do Sharon et al just allow Phyllis and Daniel to barge into her home to berate her and DEMAND answers? And then Daniel insists that THEY keep him posted on any and all updates. Isn’t that the police’s job? Michael’s job is to defend SHARON, no matter what it does to Daniel. 

[Chatty Cake]

Why is Daniel showing up at Sharon’s like a little beyotch? How DARE he yell at poor Sharon over Heather? It’s none of his business what Sharon’s story is.

Please tell me they are not leading up to. Billy and Phyllis pairing? PLEASE someone reassure me.

Summer is so stupid to let that fine man go over Heathers murder investigation. He needs to move on to a new lady add leave Summer alone. Also how dare she question what type of toy car he got for stupid Harrison? I have no idea why we have to pretend she is his mother. She never adopted the kid.

Phyllis is jealous of Sharon because Sharon is the more popular of Nicks lovers. Phyllis is a raging looney tunes. Billy knows she is wasting her time and wants to use her to get the company that he messed up in the first place back.

Oh Sharon, quit feeling bad for Daniel and stupid Lucy. Nobody cares about them.

[pvandal]

Why doesn't Daniel have a lawyer? He's gonna need to call Cricket when Sharon et al slap him and his mother with restraining orders.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Phyllis had the nerve to complain about how much someone else had gotten away with in their life. Woman, do you ever look in a mirror?

Daniel needs to stay the eff out of the coffeehouse. Nick was not obligated to tell him anything about Sharon's case, especially since they're on opposite sides of the matter. I think Nick should've held his tongue and walked away.

Didn't Phyllis already inform Billy she couldn't be a part of his plan to attack the Newmans and get Chancellor back? Today's scene was like déjà vu all over again. 😏

Phyllis made a good point though: Sharon has Dylan, Ray, and Chance on her lengthy list of exes. She stays keeping a cop in her back pocket for when she's in trouble with the law.

A remote control toy police car. Hmm, I don't see the Abbotts being okay with that as a Christmas gift for Harrison. It's rather déclassé for the scion of an elite family of corporate executives. O hai, Chance.

Daniel was not wrong about Nick's lack of objectivity wrt Sharon. But Phyllis and Summer have none on Daniel's side either. It's a stalemate.

Whatever, Chance. You should not be investigating Sharon's case at all. There's too much history between you and everyone involved, including Summer. It's not too late to recuse yourself.

What the what? Ian wants Jordan to use his history with Phyllis to help them get revenge on the Newmans. Phyllis being provoked by jealousy of Jordan is a joke, right?

Puhleeze, William. Why is the desire Phyllis has for revenge less important than yours? John Abbott would not be proud.

ICAM. If Lucy and Daniel had stayed out of Sharon's face probably none of this mess would be happening. They still act like they're entitled to go in the coffeehouse where there will likely be yet another confrontation with Sharon or one of her supporters.

Someone in their right mind might've allowed one incident but after that there would have been security guards, restraining orders, calls to 9-1-1. Phyllis and Daniel keep barging in because they know Sharon won't do anything more than yell back at them.

Someone (Michael?) actually said today that the security footage can’t be retrieved or salvaged or something like that. It was the first time it was mentioned at all. And how they’re going to check the area to see if there’s any other video.

Manic Phyllis🕷️ wash rinse repeat. Obsession is her middle name and delusion is her game.  Manic Phyllis🕷️ actually thinks that Sharon gets away with everything. That’s a laugh.  Once again I have to ask. Is Manic Phyllis🕷️talking about her self or Sharon. 

Daniel Daniel Daniel, Sharon has lost many more Christmases, with Cassie, that you and Lucy had with Heather.  

And now Daniel is allowed to confront Sharon in her own home. It looks like the guards let anyone in.  

Can you believe that Billy👃is the voice of reason with Manic Phyllis🕷️?  Maybe, but Manic Phyllis🕷️ is not a reasonable person. 

Did you know that Manic Phyllis🕷️and Daniel are being recruited by Habitat for Humanity because they can both drive nails with their head.  

When does Lucy get the chance to bitch slap Sharon in her own home?  To the monkeys with a keyboard this would be in their true progression of events. 
 

For me, Auntie Jordan’s  and Ian’s interactions are getting very campy and over the top. They are definitely no Boris and Natasha or Cruella Devil meets Snidely Whiplash.  

[ScoobieDoobs]

The “explanation” about building security video not able to be used?  Lame.  Really lame.  High-end (and now even middle-end) buildings have cameras everywhere — in hallways, staircases, every entrance, elevators & certainly in parking areas.  Ugh, more crap writing.

Sharon’s butterfly shirt made me dizzy.

Wow, they’re finally dressed for winter in GC.  Chance in suede, Daniel in his purple pea & Phyllis was actually wearing long sleeves & a top with NO peek-a-boo/hello-boobies hole in it.  Shockers!

Yeah, Billy was making sense . . . until he made NO sense.  Sorry, Billy, retribution for both you & Phyllis is a stupid waste of time.  Get over it, fool, and move on.  And yeah, I don’t like those 2 as a couple at all.

So are Chance & Summer getting back together?  Hope not, but didn’t see any heat btw them.

Wait, so Ian will be using Phyllis somehow?  Will Jordie be donning a crazy disguise to lure Phyllis?  Hmmm.

Summer: I get it now. About your job and all that stuff. I will be as ineffectual as ever when my mother pulls up on you like a banshee with her Sharon obsession, but, um, yeah.

Chance: Maybe we could have dinner. Even the passengers on the Titanic got a meal before it sank into the abyss.

Ian: I have a fabulous idea. A new weapon in my arsenal.

• Ah, they gave us Chancesome.  And then they had to go and ruin it with Summer and her regrets.

[NinjaPenguins]

Holy fucking shit, Adam, shut your fucking thirsty mouth and take NO for a goddamned answer. How many times and in how many ways does Chelsea have to decline your romantic overtures before it sinks into your poorly coiffed skull. That last scene was just oppressive with Adam relentlessly refusing to validate her feelings and aggressively talking past her very clear rejection. What a loser he’s become.

Of course, Adam’s father is also a loser, trying to maneuver members of his family into the same company and onto the same piece of property so he has easier access to all his pawns. Endlessly trying to arrange his family’s life to his own liking does not make Victor a devoted father.

Hey, Nikki, manifest a less abhorrent personality.

Aren’t you all impressed that JG has been showering us with his literary erudition? Someone got a Reader’s Digest Abridged The Count of Monte Cristo for Christmas, folks!

In case I haven’t made it clear, I’mma need Adam to seal his wordspout and stop mansplaining Chelsea’s feelings to her.

Adam's constant badgering makes it crystal clear exactly what a sludge being involved with him would be.  It's a sad day when I don't even want Chelsea saddled with that water balloon of a man, Adam.

[ScoobieDoobs]

OK, I give Chelsea credit that she wasn’t intimidated by Vic & she did remind him there was a time he disapproved of her.  But she shoulda said to him — You’re thinkin’ of what’s good for Adam & Connor & what you seem to want, but how about what I want & what’s right for me?

But nah, Vic would never think about what women might want.  They’re there to obey him or be banished from his presence. Feh, he continues to be awful.

Welp, at least Chelsea didn’t go wah-wah-wah in front of Vic cuz that would not have gone well if she did.  Vic saying Sally was merely a “distraction” for Adam?  Couldn’t exactly tell, but I suspect Chelsea didn’t care for that hateful comment.

There’s another element to the horsey thing, other than maybe being a dream of.some girls & young women. Owning horses is like owning a yacht.  It takes an endless money faucet to keep & maintain, so it’s a showy status symbol, particularly for the newly (1st gen) wealthy.  So makes sense for Vic to push this.

Cole did not look thrilled with Vic’s job offer . . .

So we’re supposed to go along with that Vic is cuddly-wuddly & really just a big ole softie?  Uh no.  That’s a bunch of crap, Show.  Vic is awful & horrible — and celebrating Xmas doesn’t change that.  What stupidity!

Nikki had on some hair pin that looked like spikes coming outta her ear.  Wtf?  And Claire shoulda been shivering in yet another drab outfit with short sleeves.  Guess the makeover didn’t take?

Phyllis would have better served her family at home during Christmas as Lucy and Daniel really needed her, there was no benefit to her going to yell at Sharon.

Such a lame Christmas Eve party at the ranch. None of the grandkids except Claire, and no Victoria, Nick, Adam, or Abby.

Lol, Victor acting magnanimous toward Cole. Cole has major dirt on Victor wrt Jordan, in addition to his being Claire's daddy and Victoria's FWB. Cole's not going to be turned away from Newman family events just because Victor wants to be a whiney baby.

Cole, I was trying to defend you but you gotta ease up on the manspreading. Your crotch is not a gift from Santa, except maybe to Vikki.

As far as I'm concerned, Victor's name should be mentioned in the same breath as Muhammad Ali's. And just because Cane's a writer do all his presents have to be books?

Well, Claire is officially a Newman now that she's got her own horse. But in what world is getting a horse for Christmas every young girl's dream? Stop tongue-bathing Victor, Cole. There's not enough saliva in the entire galaxy.

It would've been nice if Michael had warned his client that Typhoon Phyllis was likely heading her way. And if he'd also apologized for his and Lauren's inability to keep their lips zipped about Sharon's case.

No, Sharon! Don't take Phyllis' bait! Tell her to GTFO of your house.

I can't believe they are so cheap they couldn't spring the kids for Christmas and what was up with Victoria being sick and surely Adam, Abby and Nick should have made an appearance

How does Manic Phyllis🕷️ get past the ranches crack security guards to show up at Sharon’s front door? I thought that Sharon’s house is on Victor’s compound. 

That family portrait looks like it was done by the process of paint by numbers than a commissioned artist.  

I’ve been celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah for quite a few years so don’t get me wrong when I say this but I’m a little bummed there is not even a small reference of Hanukkah especially when both holidays are celebrated concurrently this year.

Oof. I’ll start with the kids:

• Yes, Auria (sp) should’ve been with her parents and upstairs sleeping on Christmas Eve. Let the babysitter go home!
• Katie and Johnny: I am not aware of any parents who throw teen/tween parties on Christmas Eve. Parties for entire families? Sure. The more sensible response was simply to say they were spending Christmas Eve with Billy.
• Christian: Are we sure that he really even exist anymore? I feel like we’re seen occasions over the last several months where Nick is somewhere where it would make sense for his child to be, and his name doesn’t come up once.

As for Phyllis. Yeah, she’s a complete nut, but she did hit on something today. Even if you believe Sharon’s story that she did not kill Heather, she still threw the body off a bridge and cleaned up a crime scene. And she stole Heather‘s phone and pinned the murder on Daniel. Those are all crimes. And maybe they’ll try to explain all of that away, but they didn’t do it today. So all the holiday cheer and celebrating seemed a little odd. 

I know they say they don't have a lot of money for kids on the show , but you'd think at least for Christmas they'd spring out the kids. As for Christian, I saw that Judah (Connor's) brother was at the Y&R Christmas party and he's an actor and he's about Christian's age. He'd be perfect for the role and he'd only have to be on set 2-3 times a year. 

Yes I heard of kids going to Christmas parties but not on Christmas Eve. Didn't get why Johnny and Katie weren't with Billy.

Sharon certainly hit the nail on the head - Phyllis is happiest making other people miserable, harassing her “enemies” and externalizing her self hatred. Remember how Daniel is the real victim? Phyllis doesn’t. She turned on him with a quickness when he suggested there must be more to the latest development in the case. And yes, Phyllis, mothers everywhere understand the instinct to ominously wish for unholy vengeance over the holidays. Crazy motherfuckers.

All the best to my fellow posters this holiday season. Your snark is glorious.

Right back at you. And Phyllis is her worst enemy. She's the reason she's alone and barely has any friends.

Dear Preverts, did you know Hanukkah and Christmas are on the same day only 4-5 x a century? The more you know! Happy Haopy, Merry Merry to you all! Thanks for making me laugh all year round!

Happy Holidays to you all. Thanks for making me laugh so much this year

One thing that is true to  Claire/Eve’s character is that she took care of her horse then leaving it to others.  My wife, a true horse lover, spent hours and hours taking care of her horse.  The question I have is when did Claire/Eve learn to ride?  You just don’t get on a horse and ride in the woods alone without knowing how to control a 1,200 pound animal.  

Natey Nate Nate and his 1/2 brother story line is much ado about nothing 🥱😴. 

The monkeys with a keyboard have gone and done it. Those idiots are now messing with Tessa.  FU!!

He has my permission to make Phyllis' life hell. Karma is a bitch and she deserves more than anyone except for Victor who should have been Ian and Jordan's main target.

Yes if she just shut her mouth and stayed out of it, she wouldn't be such a target now.

Phyllis made a good point though: Sharon has Dylan, Ray, and Chance on her lengthy list of exes. She stays keeping a cop in her back pocket for when she's in trouble with the law.

Phyllis must have the shortest memory in the world because I remember her sleeping with Ronan Malloy while he was the lead investigator in Diane's "murder" even though she was one of the suspects. IIRC, he was also involved with Phyllis when she was a suspect in Paul and Christine’s hit and run accident and again, he was an investigator working on the case and we all know how that turned out.
