AFAIC Y&R lost all credibility with Michael as an attorney when he became the DA after having served several years in prison.

Shouldn't the Bar Association have done that automatically? 

actually, when I saw the flashbacks with the Glowlotion {was that the product} trying to schmooze the husband of the woman who was injured I thought  "schyster".

Gee, Phyllis. The place to have an emotional epiphany isn't on a highway behind the wheel of a car. You wanna get into another accident?

Even if she parks in a heated garage and has a good heater in her car, why was Phyllis driving in the countryside near the site of her last accident in her bare-armed glitter dress in Wisconsin in the middle of Winter?

Tming is everything.  Too bad he has sex mixed up with the three minute egg.

boes, you are giving Kyle too much credit. Kyle is the quintessential minute man. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if Kyle took a ruler to bed, with him, to see how long he slept.

LOL, right? That was a lot. of. rope. Although in King Kong's defense, he does have more facial expressions than Sharon does.

[NinjaPenguins]

I truly appreciate Kyle’s and Claire’s commitment to finding new ways to be boring together. Not even a black sex bra can produce sparks in the arctic wasteland that is their sexual chemistry. I guess Kyle found the Artisanal Turd paint samples irresistible when having his room decorated.

Ian and his unflappable Elmer Gantry shtick in the face of Nick’s schoolyard threats made me low key lol. As if Nicholas itching to put a beatdown on an old man wasn’t scintillating enough, next week we get to see Nosferatu’s grandfather mumbling ominous warnings at Ian. Meanwhile everyone keeps forgetting about Sharon until after midnight. Call the police, you fucking idiots. Well written stuff, this is.

Sure, Phyllis. All of a sudden you’ve developed an intolerance to soul sucking hatred and vitriol. Her kids really shouldn’t be chuckling fondly over her decades of toxic behavior, but I guess they don’t know any better.

Waldo13, you done ####KILLED#### me dead with that one!  

I bet he uses that ruler for something else in bed, too.  This time, using the metric system.

[ByaNose]

I guess Michael Mealor isn’t a sun worshipper. He’ll be thankful in 20 years. That said, in daytime it doesn’t work well. I guess self tanner is an option but it’s so 90’s. LOL!!!! I just Y&R credit for having an actual bedroom set for sex. Usually, it’s couch sex so it’s a step in the right direction. It doesn’t make me like them anymore (they are sooooo boring) I do like to give credit where credit is do.

I don’t think Sharon will be getting out of that Houdini rope and masked tape anytime soon. I guess Jordan wanted to protect herself. LOL!!! I do hope the Ian & Jordan show is over soon. No offense but Ray Wise is 77 and  Coleen Zenk is 72. They ain’t exactly spring chickens. Let’s hope they are caught soon and sent away for a long time. It was great to see Colleen back on soaps but I think Jordan has run her course.

Phyllis is going to turn over a new leaf in 2025?! I give it a moth. Two tops.at least, she admits it was a truck that ran her off the road. Hopefully, she’ll change her one arm dress and go to the police station (Wait! Y&R doesn’t have one). Okay, tell Chance at the coffee house and hopefully Nick to score a few brownie points. 

Happy New Year y’all!!!!

So Jordan and Ian's grand plan is to kill Sharon and pin the murder on Phyllis.

Well, the time for that boat to sail is long gone, now that Phillus has declared her intentions to not publicly sling blame/hate at Sharon.  If Sharon dies and all eyes are on Red, she will be exonerated by her children proclaiming her innocence.  They know she wouldn't hurt Sharon. That's how the legal system works in GC.  (See:  Sharon and her cheer team.)

I noticed that, too.  Then I tried to remember, didn't Phillus kill Jeremy with scissors in that room?  Guess housekeeping didn't replace the Courtesy Scissors.

The thicker the rope, the harder it is to create tight knots.

Every time an intended murder victim gets kidnapped on this show, they delay and delay, giving the victim more chances to escape from cars, hotel rooms, the steam plant in an ancient part of town..., when Sharon could have been hurled into the river while still chloroformed on the way back from Society.

I was surprised that Victor didn't offer IanWard a huge plate of brussel sprouts. Back in Medieval times, when he was a boy, brussel sprouts were thought to be inhabited by evil spirits. I'm still waiting for Adam to explore his new home and discover the set of The Cask of Amontillado in the basement.

@MollyB  My local cable channels are running all the old Law&Order shows, beginning with season #1. Back in the day, the detectives had pagers and needed to hunt up a pay phone or run into a bodega to call into the station house. No DNA, very little fingerprint info on file....however did they solve anything ??!!

Currently watching these reruns and skipping the Soaps except for the snark on here....missing nothing...

I was watching a murder mystery from the 50s this weekend and the cops are picking up all kinds of things like a bloody handkerchief and I'm like "Don't touch that! The DNA will mix" Then I had to remember they didn't have that then. They still solved it faster than the GC police would with all their newfangled gadgets.

[Bunnyto4]

TGVN"Hello, Ian Ward"

Ian  "Hello, Newman"

Why does show always let me down?

[ScoobieDoobs]

Oh my, we got a Faith freak-out today!  Now, if only she’d direct it toward Lucy instead of Mariah, it sure would be way more entertaining . . .

[Joimiaroxeu]

Oh boy, Victor called in his crack security team to find Ian. Hopefully they hadn't been hitting their holiday crack pipes too hard. 😏

I'm with Cole: heading a publishing company isn't necessarily a dream job for a creative type like him. Beware of Newmans bearing gifts, Cole.

Victor being the calm voice of reason while Nick was struggling to control his fear and anger was unexpected to me.

Ian and Jordan arguing about who owes whom the bigger favor, AGAIN. Yawn. Okay, Show, let's fast-forward to the point the two evil psychos turn on each other.

Can anyone just use an inhaler if they don't have asthma? You'd think Tessa would've been concerned about what Ian may have had her pull into her lungs.

Wait, that's the same place Cameron was holding Faith captive and ended up gut-stabbed by Sharon. Why hasn't GC's sewer management department blocked it off from access by the public? Seems like a huge potential liability.

Lol, Ian had all the chill during during his forced audience with Victor. He wasn't even fazed by Nick's chest-beating bluster. Nutbag courage; Ian has it.

Ew, Cole, Victoria's probably still contagious from the flu bug she caught. You both might wanna keep your saliva in your own mouths. Just sayin'. 🤮

Poor Nikki. Why would Victor bring Ian in their home when he knew it would upset her? Jerk.

[Waldo13]

Cole you are such a wuss. You won’t take the job because you don’t want to be under Victor’s thumb.  I got news for you Cole, you are already under Victor’s thumb as long as you’re a relationship with Victoria.  

Victory’s security guard is on Ian like stink on shit but even shit looses its stink in a few days.  You would think that Ian would know he would be followed but yet he goes back to the motel where he and Auntie Jordan resides. 

 

 

 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Yeah, this is pretty sloppy.  Either Nick or Vic’s detective can follow Ian & discover Jordie.  But wow, they’re BOTH soooo arrogant & over-confident, aren’t they?   Ian was bs-ing up a storm to Vic, while he (and we) know ian’s full of crap.

Mariah does know Ian’s routine!  Faith sounded quite dopey — as did Tessa.  Not helping, you 2!

Dream job?  With Vic as your boss?  What planet do you live on, Cole?  Bizarro world?

 

 

 

[One Tough Cookie]

other than Brussel sprouts and vodka I got nuthin..................

[NinjaPenguins]

Did Victor finally hire a competent security person? Do all Genoa City supervillains use the sewer system to stash their poor, unfortunate victims? These are the questions that keep me up at night.

Victoria stating that she’s expected to be an extension of her father without sprinting towards the nearest therapist was certainly a choice. You keep telling yourself that Victor gives a single mummified fuck whenever you push back on him, Vic.

Ian could always prove he’s a genuine man of the cloth by performing the rite of exorcism on the show’s scripts.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around what kind of publishing NE does.  Cole said working in literature was his dream job. (paraphrasing)  I think the major publishing houses have that market cornered.  What 'literature' is he talking about?

Also got a good laugh when Victoria said Nosferatu didn't hire on nepotism-he only hires the people who are good for the job.  Reeeaaallly....

[pvandal]

Maybe Cole wants to start up Restless Style again? That was literature!

[lgprimes]

Random observations from today’s show:

Nikki looks thin to the point of frail in that Sgt. Pepper get-up today. Time for MTS to lay off the Ozempic.

Aria’s gotten so big!

 Ian Ward is either using too much self-Tanner on his face or he needs a stat CT scan of his pancreas. That color of orange is not healthy.

 

 

 

 

 

[MsMalin]

Christian napping upstairs. They grow so fast, don't they?

[ScoobieDoobs]

It’s bangy bang bang Tuesday cuz Nikki is sporting bangs today!  Weeee . . .

The Red Beast’s hideous ‘tude on Sharon being missing is making her look awfully guilty.  Arrest her ASAP, Chance!

Like TGVN's crack security team? 🙄

[Joimiaroxeu]

Phyllis sitting alone in Society, preening. Sad.

Victor keeps saying he promises Ian will not harm anyone in the Newman family. Yo, Vic, there's a loophole in your assurances. It smells of Brussel sprouts and cheap vodka.

OMFG, did anyone want that lingering camera shot of Billy manspreading at the table with Phyllis? 😱

I think Mariah needs to stop letting herself be provoked into ranting at Ian. He's feeding on her negative energy. Meanwhile, did Ian actually make a lowkey demeaning remark about Mariah being in a same-sex relationship? Gosh.

Sally, giirrrll, Paris with Billy? Ehh, it might be too soon for you two to have an intercontinental sleepover. Billy brings messiness.

Only Phyllis could simultaneously claim to have moved on from Sharon yet insist Summer maintain her grudge against Sally.

I think before he paid his check, Billy should've treated Phyllis to a PB&J. At least he shut her down with her attempt to goad him about Sally.

Right there with ya, Mariah. If Ian so much as sneezes near wee Aria, I will go to GC and choke him out with my bare hands. FAFO, Ian.

Looks like a murder mystery is building with Ian as the eventual victim. So far Mariah and Victor have threatened to end him, and psycho Jordan is on the verge. Let's go!

Edited January 7 by Joimiaroxeu

[Chatty Cake]

What happened to Phyllis’s New Year’s resolution to be less of an asshole? She’s not off to a good start. 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Mariah, you’d play Ian way better if ya held back some, hun.  Don’t show him he’s clearly gettin’ to ya. sweetie!

Sharon’s hair, makeup & dress are gonna get awfully icky-looking very quickly.  Will Jordie lend her the Bonnie-and-Clyde wig & beanie set so she’ll look cute while chained up?

[One Tough Cookie]

Did Nikki borrow her jacket from Sgt. Pepper?

[boes]

That was my first thought, too.  But Nikki is no way cool enough.

If she's intent on the uniform look, then may I suggest a little something from the

Cloris Leachman High Anxiety line?

I know Victor would love it.

[Waldo13]

Wow-o-wow, Christian is out of the basement and is sleeping at Sharon’s house.  

The GCPD is searching for Sharon but it’s funny that Auntie Jordan knows more about secluded hiding places than the GCPD.  

The MO of the monkeys with a keyboard is to allow Manic Phyllis, Daniel, and others to rant and rave instead of just telling the renter to pound sand. Now Mariah and Tessa have to listen to Ian’s total 🐂💩 without just walking away.  

Billy👃in Paris. Talk about the ugly American.  Still say Billy👃Sally 🤢🤢🤮.  

Manic Phyllis🕷️can run for mayor of GC. She’s a true politician because she can talk out both sides of her mouth at the same time. One minute Manic Phyllis🕷️ is letting everything go and the next minute she’s the same old Manic Phyllis🕷️. 

[Bunnyto4]

I think the actor who plays Ian Ward is a very attractive man, but as an (ahem) older person myself, I would like to advise him to get better fitting dentures-it would cut down on the obvious sibilance when he's spouting this wretched script.

[Js Nana]

I don't know if it's a sudden case of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or what, but I cannot stand to waste another moment of my life watching this show - screw Jack/Diane/Kyle, screw Victor/Nikki, screw Phyllis, screw Billy/Sally, screw Ian Ward/Auntie Jordan, screw Mariah/Tessa, screw this whole miserably written show - I want warm breezes, blue skies, sunshine, the return of the flowers of spring and a vast improvement in this show's writing, and I want it now.

[Joimiaroxeu]

I didn't hate Nikki's black bespangled outfit today but it was a lot for someone just hanging around the house. It had more of NYE party vibe to me.

Loved both Mariah and Tessa's coats. Me want. #asif

And then fashionista Summer showed up in a pleather sundress with completely bare arms. In Wisconsin. In the winter. It must be hella hot inside Society.

Loved the dark red color on Sally, as well as the retro shoulder pads. The plaid mini-skort, not so much. That look is more Faith's speed, or maybe Claire when she's not trying to resemble an executive assistant.

Nikki and/or MTS was doing so well with her new wardrobe and hair. Today was a miss on both parts. The hair looked like she had been in bed for days and had bed head. It was too close to her face. Then she (the wardrobe department) was channeling Janet Jackson on the Rhythm Nation Tour. They overthought that outfit way too much. As Scarlett said, “After all, tomorrow is another day”

So how old is Christian really that he needs a nap? Is he two years old and worked off a bag of candy?  And why would he be so fatigued with everything that's going on?  Does he even know or care about Sharon?  His dad hasn't been home in forever, so unless Nick has been keeping him in the car while he stands around Sharon's and the Raunch, I don't think the kid has any clue (or interest) in what's going on with Sharon.  Maybe he got fatigued by association.

I thought along the same lines when Victoria said she'd set up a play date with Johnnie and Katie for Christian.  Admittedly, it's been a very long time since I was a kid, and we didn't exactly have playdates back then, but I would think Johnnie and Katie are too old to have their mom be setting up playdates.  Connor, too.  

[pvandal]

Because I'm bored at work I looked up on Wikipedia for the ages of Nick's kids. Obviously they have been sorased but if they were real, here is their first appearance which I will pretend is their birthdates.

Summer 12-12-06, Faith 09-30-09 & Christian 10-07-15

So even if they didn't age him, Christian just turned 9. I guess he could take a nap but I am starting to think he never existed and just lives in Nick's mind and everyone humors him.

Just for interest, Connor is 08-12-13, Johnny is 04-09-12 and Katie is 11-17-14

[ScoobieDoobs]

Audra, hun, the only one who ever wore a trench coat in LA was Columbo.  Why aren’t ya wearing one of your usual tightly-tight va-va-voom numbers?

Bare shoulders alert!  Get a shawl for poor shivering Abby.  Well, she sure ain’t gettin’ much heat from hostile little creep Devon.  Maybe wardrobe can spare a blanket to cover her and Summer, who was in a summer dress yesterday?

Billy continues to be a delusional loser.  There’s Chelsea . . . and shockers!  No waterworks today from GC’s resident cry-baby.  And Lily just luvs, luvs, luvs beige — everything on her is beige, beige & more beige.  Hair, makeup, clothes?  All beige & sooooo boring.

So we got a look at Damian.  Someone more hostile & angrier than Devon?  Why, Show, why?

I somehow missed or overlooked the news that Nathan Owens was cast on Y&R. I however did not miss or overlook the fact he is still very, very, good looking. 

(I know him as Cameron from Days, I believe during the Kate Mansi as Abby era?)

Yep.    Abby was ready to retire her virginity ring so she set up a competition between Cameron and Chad and the winner to be her first time.  Cameron basically said, oh HELL NO and left town.  Some prizes aren't worth winning.

So yes, some soaps have even worse storylines than Y&R.

Edited January 8 by boes

[Joimiaroxeu]

Yeah, I'm with Lily: why should Devon assume Nate's newfound brother would be working at Winters Inc.? Or moving to GC at all?

Audra's hair was different. She usually doesn't wear it straightened. Hmm.

Stop, Billy. You're the one making things awkward with Chelsea. Her world  doesn't need to revolve around you. Dial it down a notch or 12.

Nate: I contacted Damian and said I'm an executive recruiter from Genoa City, Wisconsin. He must be so impressed.
Audra: oh really?
Nate: of course! Just wait until I tell him the amazing compensation package he'll be getting!
Audra: like what?
Nate: an instant brother, two new cousins, and a mommy who's dying! Plus free drinks in Neil Winters Jazz Lounge!
Joi: Nate, my guy, I hope you're not easily disappointed.

Billy keeps informing people he's planning to go after Victor and take back Chancellor. Is he hoping someone will talk him out of it? 🤔

Nah, Chelsea, your advice is hot garbage. AFAIC there is no reason for Billy to try to see things from Jill's perspective. Not unless he wants to learn how to betray and humiliate your own son while taking a massive bribe from his worst enemy.

Oh look, another of one of Billy's exes here to tell him about himself and the mistakes he's making. So far we've had Phyllis, and today, Chelsea and Lily. Wonder who'll be batting cleanup, Chloe?

Damian King, we meet at last. He's cute. Definitely not older than Nate though. The math ain't mathin' for the backstory the writers gave him.

It looked to me like the actor playing Damian has studied the portrayal of Nate. Damian's mannerisms and speech cadence were already similar to Nate's. <golf claps>

What’s with the off shoulder dresses in winter. Yesterday Summer❄️x7 and today Abby?  I guess Abby and Sunner❄️x7 think they are in LA. 

It’s a good that Devon is bald. It makes it easier to get his head up his ass.  It seems that Devon is more worried about Natey Nate Nate’s feelings than his own sister’s concern. 

When the going gets tough the tough go shopping 😉. 

Damian and Natey Nate Nate look like the can be brothers. 

Billy👃 let it go. How many times has Victor put you in your place.  Billy👃is nuts. He keeps doing the same thing expecting different results. 

 

[lgprimes]

Damian! Good to meet you! Very entertaining to see him obviously toying with Natey-Nate-Nate.

 Props to the casting department. This guy is HOT (get ready Audra?), and he has clearly done his research in studying his “brother’s “ mannerisms. I’m impressed!
