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

[Joimiaroxeu]

Victoria knocking back bourbon, alone in the jazz club. Odd. Shouldn't she have been upstairs basking in the afterglow with Cole?

It's hilarious the wardrobe people had Sharon so dressed up for such a scuzzy location. Sparkly outfit, bold jewelry. She's the best-dressed hostage!

Ian said he wants nothing but the best for Mariah. Either he was lying to Jordan or to himself. Ugh.

I didn't realize chloroform could cause hallucinations. Maybe Sharon was breathing some kind of chemical-filled sewage fumes.

Since when are Chelsea and Victoria chummy? Chelsea sure gets a lot of mileage out of being the mommy of a Newman heir.

Jordan and Ian were literally bad bedfellows. Sorry Ian, Jordan was not d*ckmatized by your psycho boudoir skills. <brain bleach stat>

How is living at the Newman ranch going to help Connor's mental health? I think the writers are twisting themselves into human pretzels trying to create a reason for Chelsea, Connor, and Adam to use the old ranch set. #notimpressed

Of course Jordan had to have a 2nd trip to the coffeehouse for her unique drink order that Claire previously recognized. Because Claire also had to make a 2nd trip there in order to catch Jordan. Fie coincidences!

Poor Chance, lol. Sitting there listening to Nick lay out the analysis on Sharon's disappearance that his ace detective self (🤠) failed to do. It's a bad day when your girlfriend's dad's gut is smarter than you are, huh Phillip IV?

Kitten is Jordan's nickname for Claire? Oy. Claire sweetie, I see forced captivity in your future. AGAIN. But you'll look fabulous in your red faux leather coat. 😼

I agree, MW is a good actress and she may be/have been fantastic on other shows. However, AFAIC she was a bad fit for Y&R and for the role of Diane.

I think Connor has a propensity to bury the lead when he tells his family about his OCD's.  Or they are not giving him enough time to finish his story.  He was incarcerated treated in-house for his problem and he has the 'tools' to cope, as he himself has said repeatedly.  If they want to child-proof the house every time he gets a hair up his tush they better have a contractor on retainer and on call 24/7.

Heh, I think Connor buries the lede in his tales of OCD woes because he's a drama queen. Chelsea and Adam get enthralled by his behavior and he loves the attention. I continue to think Y&R should've gone instead with an autism spectrum diagnosis for Connor but maybe that's too controversial. Either way, sometimes it seems to me the writers are lowkey expressing disdain for OCD as a malady.

Whee! As far as anti-chemistry is concerned I don't think Claire and Kyle are as bad as Faith and Moses were (before they broke up off-camera) but they're close. Most of the legacy family couplings don't work because they usually seem too forced.

That's very interesting, Joimiaroxeu. I didn't think of it that that way.  I know that for me, the subject and how it's portrayed has managed to both annoy and bore me simultaneously. It seems so overwrought.

So today Show decided to have Victoria join in on the pushing the most unromantic, least compelling re-coupling of Adam and Chelsea?  It's the dreariest "romance" since Cane and anybody whatsoever.  They're pushing Adam on Chelsea as if they're trying to get her to have more fiber in her diet.

Oh, the romance.  Also, anytime Show has both Victor AND Victoria giving relationship advice, that's time to run the other way as fast as possible.

Show is so boring these days, so very very boring.

Having other characters deliver awkward exposition about why two people should be romantically paired is not a substitute for chemistry or plot development. It is utterly depressing that the head writer thinks two people falling back in love over their son’s OCD is any kind of a story. Especially since one person is doing all the pressuring with the backing of his father and sister. Chelsea and Adam are giving Connor way too much power over how they arrange their lives. If he has the tools to cope, why does Chelsea need to move into the raunch when she doesn’t want to? You know Adam is going to be all up in her grill, pulling his usual bullshit.

Ian is lucky he didnt get his Americano laced with something. He and Jordan crack my shit up with their unintentional comedy gold. They’re slightly more funny than Detective Dingleberry schooling Chance with his gut instincts. Btw, how many times per episode do we need to have Chance tell Nick that there’s no news?

Claire is much more interesting and likable away from the schmoopy bouffant, at least to me. Wonder if she’s about to become Sharon’s sewer mate?

My money is on Jordan having spiked the water she left for Sharon.  Of course, if it's PCP, Sharon might just have the strength to break her chains, especially if she gets her hands on that pipe.

Yes.  How is he going to practice these coping skills if everytime something OCDs him, the parents come in to the rescue?  Let him spend time away from hovering mommy and tackle coping with daddums.  By himself.

This is just speculation, not a spoiler, but wouldn't it be fun if Jordan takes Claire to Sharon to show off her murderous skilz?  Then Claire can use (Chekov's) pipe to put Jordan (and us) out of her/our misery.

The scariest thing about that scenario is that then we'd have Claire dreaming about being rescued by Kyle along with Sharon's dreams of rescue by Bonzo the Butt-headed Boy.

[ScoobieDoobs]

So was Claire saying how she really feels about the Newmans — or is she trying to trap Jordie?  I think it’s both.  Well, at least parts of what she said are correct.  Feeling lukewarm on Shmoopy & unsure of a future with him?   Oh yeah!  

But her dripping with contempt for the Newmans?  That was purely for Jordie.  The stuff about the Newmans’ hypocrisy was Jordie-speak all the way.

And Claire’s demeanor with Jordie was odd . . .

Sheesh, Sally, give up on the anger towards Adam.  He really ain’t worth it!  You should be at the point of indifference to him, hun.

[Waldo13]

Sally, Adam thinks about Billy👃more than Billy👃thinks about Adam 😂😂😂.  Billy👃don’t let Adam tell you what he thinks 😂😂😂 when Billy👃does it all the time. Another knee slapper. 

What’s with Claire/Eve?  Is she just shinning Auntie Jordan on or is she really back under Auntie Jordan’s spell?  I, for one, will be very disappointed if dark Claire/Eve returns. 

I wonder if Chelsea gets a bonus for every time she cries. Shedding tears is the only thing she actually does well. 

[ByaNose]

I’m assuming Claire is playing Jordan because she suspects she has something to do with Sharon. After, hearing all about Ian from Mariah and Tessa and with Jordan escaping from jail Claire probably put the pieces together. I doubt with all her time with the Newman & Abbotts she’d fold like a lawn chair to Jordan. That said, I’m not sure how long she plays it. Does she go right away with Jordan in hopes of finding Sharon? Does she secretly keep in contact with Jordan without letting the Newman’s and Abbotts know right away? Does Jordan just conk Claire over the head and give her some bangs? I would think by this week we should what direction it goes in.

I think she is setting Jordan up deliver her to the Newmans.  Not buying the sudden turn of events.

Raise your hand if you are bored with Connor's storyline. And Chelsea?  just shut up.

I know Marhia has beautiful red hair, but I noticed yesterday it seems to be redder--like Sally's brass.  Producers, leave Marhia's hair ALONE

Edited Wednesday at 11:23 PM by One Tough Cookie

[Joimiaroxeu]

Ugh, Adam is becoming a jerk again. There was no call for him to be so aggro with Sally.

Well at least Chelsea acknowledged she had already seen Billy in Crimson Lights "today." Too bad she didn't also mention Billy's scary new haircut.

Jordan said Claire's instincts were still as sharp as a shiv. Yikes, I'm not sure whether that was a compliment.

Claire calmly stood there and kept talking to Jordan. Bet Yoda sensed a disturbance in the Force.

And then Claire started complaining to Jordan about how hard it is for her to keep up with the clannish Newmans! Please tell me she's working Jordan. Please.

Oh FFS, how many times does Sally have to break up with Adam before it sinks in with him that she's moved on?

Ditto comments upthread, it looked to me like Claire was using reverse psychology on Jordan, trying to say what she knew nutbag Jordan wanted to hear. <fingers crossed>

Gotta give credit to the writers, they had Claire trashing Victor and the Newmans the same way we do here on this forum. 🥳

Billy: Chelsea, I've told you before and I'll tell you eleventy gazillion more times. You cheated on me with Adam because you wanted to get back together with him. Go be with him.
Joi: and quit gaping like you're shocked, Chelsea.
Chelsea: well, I never!
Joi: but ya did tho.

Loose lips sink the whole fleet, Sally. The last person you should be talking to about Billy is Adam. Gah.

Whoo chile, Claire was not scurred of Jordan. That look on her face as Jordan tried to stare her down said, "Bring it, bish."

Sally immediately confessed her Adam faux pas to Billy. And he wasn't upset at her. Aw, I'm pulling for those two lovebirds. ❤️❤️

Uh oh, Claire. Now Jordan wants you to badmouth your mommy and daddy. You can do it! You have to protect them.

Whatever, Chelsea. If you're moving in with Adam on the ranch I give it a month tops before you're boinking him again.

Dang, Claire had her voice crack and everything when she was confiding to Jordan how clueless Victoria is. Claire sold it, baby! Jordan is toast.

Do you mean Mariah?  Was wondering who the heck Marhia could be . . .

Well, Claire was giving looks, when she wasn’t facing Jordie, that said —- What can I say to appease this friggin’ loon?

In spite of Billy’s lousy haircut & his idiotic, loser pursuit, he does have a very nice chemistry with Sally.  

Adam & Chelsea continue to be awkward & uncomfortable, yet really boring.  Maybe it’s the dull convos on Connor.  Who cares?  And Adam should have “WEASEL” tattooed on his forehead!

I thought Chelsea, the crybaby of GC, could actually get thru a show w/no tears, but I was wrong.  Oh yeah, she gets paid by the tear!

I’m with you, but it clearly isn’t happening. She’s just working Aunt Jordan by saying what she wants to hear. What’s disappointing is Aunt Jordan falling for it. She’s smarter than that.

Not sure what the writers are trying to accomplish by constantly giving us Adam/Sally and Billy/Chelsea scenes. Are they TRYING to remind us that they’ve broken apart couples with better chemistry to give us slop?

[Sake614]

So I read on Twitter that

Spoiler

Claire really has been working with Jordan this whole time to take down the Newmans.

Not sure if it’s true or not and while I think it’s a much more interesting  story, I’m not sure the show really wants to go that route. 

[Denize]

Does Jordan wear a grotty old disguise to the hair dressers for a cute cut and colour and then put the old disguise back on and leave? 

[NinjaPenguins]

Oh, the two victims of Adam’s and Chelsea’s gross behavior are singing the praises of their potential romance? Well, I’m convinced! The outdated notion that people should stay together for their kids was a nice touch. Maybe JG could join the rest of us in the 21st century at some point.

While I know Claire is only trash talking the Newmans to fool Jordan, her dialogue was the uplifting content I didn’t realize I needed.

I noticed she had her nails done, too.  Where, oh where do she and Ian get the money to afford the crappy disguises, seedy motel room, the tea with agave and triple espressos, bottles of booze and steak dinners?  Did they both hide their assets in offshore accounts before their incarcerations?  Can't believe that Ian's prison chaplain pay is that much.

I'm not buying into this because Jordan is so pissed with Ian about him not doing her "cross" after she did his "criss".  She wouldn't be worried about her plan. 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Ah, so we see the above posted spoiler is NOT true.  Something false on Twitter?  Heavens!

Eh, haven’t we been here before, with those 3 pitted against Jordie?  How many times is Show gonna repeat this?  And the notion of this tiny 70-something woman being such an all-powerful, unbeatable force is really tiresome, dumb & so silly.

Wow, when Daniel is the one making sense, you know Show is sinking down, down, down.  Billy isn’t just sounding like a loser, with his endless babble about revenge, while giving NO details on any sort of business plan, he sounds like he’s got serious mental health issues.  Phyllis seemed like she was realizing this, but who knows, cuz she’s just as nuts.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Sigh, Claire, breathlessly running to tell Victoria and Nikki about your incident with Jordan is probably not the way you wanted to go.

ATFKMWTS? How many times a day does Billy go into Crimson Lights? "Today" he's been there talking to Lily, then later Chelsea, and then later Sally. Now Phyllis and Danny. And half those times he didn't even buy anything. It's ridiculous.

Heh, Daniel "No Chill" Romalotti called out both Phyllis and Billy on their b.s. plan to take down Victor. Right there with ya, Daniel.

Claire! Why are you protecting Jordan from the people she kidnapped and tried to kill? You should've kept your mouth shut instead of dangling the threat in front of Mommy and Grandma while ordering them to stand down.

Daniel, you are the voice of reason but have you met those two fools before? Phyllis and Billy will not be talked out of any potential mistakes because they always think they're right.

Nick, maybe you could ask your daddy why his crack security team didn't notice how Ian indeed had another person with him at the NoTell Motel. They should've photographed Jordan and advised Victor of her presence, even if they had no idea who she was.

Victoria's dress. Was the designer trying to imitate Jackson Pollock? IMO the white boots were just icing on the fugly outfit cake.

Hmm, I think maybe Claire was trying to get Nikki and Victoria scared and agitated. Wonder if Claire knows about what happened when Nikki got worked up enough to "kill" JT?

Victor's grand idea is to put out bad PR on Ian in one of the Newman Media gossip rags. Sure, that'll definitely scare Ian off, Vic. Say, what's the weather like on your planet?

Claire said no prison can hold Jordan. Seriously? Jordan is greatest criminal mastermind of all time? GMAFB. I guess Victor will have to arrange for Jordan to be captured and sent to Guantanamo. 🙄

Whee, Claire told Vik and Nik she will terminate Jordan with extreme prejudice. But she also sorta seemed to me to be trying to convince them it'll be a team effort. Okay.
 
Billy, you may be overestimating Adam's value to Victor and NE. And Adam's ability to fight his own battles. Listen to your pal, Red; she's reading you correctly on this convoluted vendetta of yours. Going after Adam to get Chancellor back makes zero sense.

Note to self: next time you get chloroformed and chained to a pipe in a sewer maintenance room, be sure to keep your fancy black boots on. They'll be just what you need to escape. 😉

[Waldo13]

It was a great day until Manic Phyllis🕷️ was on my TV screen.  Manic Phyllis🕷️ is now seen 😂. Manic Phyllis🕷️ can be heard before she’s seen. 

Yes, you can see her for a mile but hear her for two miles.  

Billy👃, to Victor you’re a tick on an elephant’s ass. Even if you think you’re winning you are actually loosing.  Sally you are 100% wrong about Adam thinking more about Billy👃than Billy👃thinks about Adam. So now he wants to destroy Adam. He already wrote an expose about Adam what else can he do?  If it involves Connor, then Billy👃can fuck himself with a rusty pole.  

Darth Claire/Eve or Jedi Claire/Eve?  At this point I’m not sure but I don’t want to speculate or even think about it.  Check that. Hopefully Nikki or Victoria will tell Victor about Auntie Jordan being in town and Victor will send her off to see Marco in Peru. 

[One Tough Cookie]

btw: What the actual fuck is going on with Nikki's hair?

[ScoobieDoobs]

Sheesh, lots of creepiness goin’ on amongst GC’ers today.  Claire’s manner continues to be odd & creepy.  So what’s her game plan on Jordie?  To murder her?  Uh, great plan, Claire.   So you’ll go to prison forever?  Or at least until $Bill on B&B lets ya stay in his manse — cuz he has a thing for young female murderers.

And then there’s Billy.  Oh yeah, he continues to speak in a hushed, whispery, overly-confident, arrogant tone.  And why?  Cuz he’s got a plan to take back Chancellor.  And according to him, it’s THE most awesome plan ever, ever, ever!  He even still insists on calling it Abbott Chancellor, even tho the name has been changed by its new owner.  He sounds like a loon.

So did we finally find out what Billy’s swell plan is?  To go after Adam?  Ok then.  Whether he goes after Vic or Adam, they’re both dirty players & he’s no match for either.  And Phyllis wants to follow him on this path to sure failure?  Eh, sad, pathetic stuff.

Daniel’s bullshit detector is finely honed when it comes to people other than his mother. I wonder what kind of new venture he and Phyllis could launch? Word to the wise, Daniel: you can’t move past video games because video games left you in the dust the minute your lame ass princess game dropped.

Billy may be skilled at baking pans full of backside biscuits, but he couldn’t scheme his way out of a wet paper bag. The doofus has no plan. He has nothing but his pancake ass, giant nostrils and excessive self regard. I feel like “rock bottom” can be defined as Phyllis giving you side eye while listening to the words coming out of your mouth.

NICK HAS BIG MAD! And a bad case of the meat sweats apparently.

Gee, Idk, but do Nikki’s now permanent bangy bang bangs mean MTS has finally, after over 45 years of torturing her hair, reverted to wearing wigs?  Maybe, maybe not.  Nothing wrong with it.  She should give her hair a break — but find cuter wigs, hun.

[ByaNose]

MTS hair looked good when it first got cut a few moths ago but I don’t know WTH going on with it now. She had it slicked back or behind her ears. Now in the past 2 weeks it’s just hanging there like a wig. Very strange. I will give them another week to change that god awful black and gold outfit and bad hairstyle. If not, something stinks in Denmark. Maybe, her styling team are telling her that she looks great and send her to the stage.

Friday Rant:

• If I am correct in the plan I see growing with Claire, then she, ma and granny should just take Jordie out to the park and line up to beat her brains in with a rock.  It worked so well with Diane.😏
• And speaking of murder.  Nikki and Vic both sound so appalled that Claire could even think of offing Jordan.  Uh, both of them have participated in murder, Nikki in more than one.
• If Viktor finds out about Jordan will he incarcerate her again?  I mean, like, did he build a vegetarian jail cell in the New Old Raunch II? God forbid that he participates in murder.
• Can't tell you how offended I am with the 'replacement' prisoner at the prison.  Yeah, prisons are overcrowded, but I know for a fact that they keep pretty good track of their wards.  (read a lot of reports from San Quentin back in the day)  Add to this that the reason (per Ian) that the doppelgänger agreed to this was because she is dying of some disease.  Pretty sure the medical records would have outed her by now.  And unless Ian smuggled this sick person in under his robes, the head count would be way off.
• How Daniel (and Summer) can be so devoted to their mommy is beyond me.  She lets them talk/advise her and then she just goes on with her merry plans as if she never heard them.  And then!  She shouts to the world how much she loves her kids and that Family is all she cares about.  Oh, and that she has changed from the self-serving person she was always has been.  #don'tkidmeI'mnotthatold
• Doesn't anyone actually do anything in this town? (That includes real work at all their Legacy Corporations and taking care of their kids.)  Seems our principle characters just sit around the bars, eateries and coffee shop to discuss ad nauseum what they want/are going to do.  I'm all for brainstorming a plan, but at some point you have to get off your ass and do it.  Some of us watch this farce everyday and are tired of the repetitive exposition.
• Last.  Keep on hammering that link, Sharon.  It should only be a few years before it breaks.

So more yammering from Billy — but to Jack?  That’s all Billy ever does, is yammer & babble & brag about his grand plans.  But the loser never actually does anything, so he never accomplishes anything.  That Sally is drawn to him is no surprise cuz she always picks the worst men.

GC is caught in a time warp where it's still New Year's Day. Note that most of the characters have not changed clothes, and Billy has gone to Crimson Lights 47 times.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Victor has an awful lot of confidence in the power of the media. Adam was probably right to balk at using NM to trash Ian. Who would care, other than Ian's  potential victims?

Man, Claire is ice cold. She just stood there, stonefaced and waiting, while Nikki and Victoria argued about whether to help Claire kill Jordan.

Nick, you need to send the grainy video of Sharon's abduction to the L.A. office of SWAT. In primetime they can identify anyone from a photo or video in less than five minutes. Heads up though, you might run into a guy who reminds you of Malcolm Winters.

Wonder if Claire has red pleather gloves to match her coat and boots?

Poor Mariah. At this point she might deliver herself right into Ian's hands if she keeps feeling more guilt about Sharon's kidnapping.
 
"I know what I'm doing." Famous last words, Claire. But geez, stop wasting time debating the issue with Nikki and Victoria. Go handle your business.

So Victor succeeded into pulling Adam back into the Newman "us against them" family fold, at least as far as Ian is concerned. Sigh, for a minute I had such hopes for you, Adam.

Have to say, Nick gave Mariah a great pep talk. He's become a good Girl Dad to her, even though Mariah isn't really his daughter.

Claire, Nikki, and Victoria: the Newman Legion of Doom, lol. Victor had no clue about the murderous plotting he'd walked in on. Or did he? 🤔

Gosh, what kind of time-release knockout drug did Jordan put in Sharon's water bottle?

[Waldo13]

Sharon wouldn’t it be easier to pry open the lock than brake the chain. Duh!  I guess Sharon heard me😉. 

It’s looks like there will be Darth Claire/Eve because she is hell bent on killing Auntie Jordan alone or with help.  It does seem that Claire/Eve is luring Victoria and Nikki into a trap and will be doing Auntie Jordan’s bidding.  Victoria if you really want to protect Claire/Eve then just tell Victor. Duh!  

Victor is here to save Claire/Eve, Nikki, and Victoria from themselves.  The question still is will it be Darth Claire/Eve or Jedi Claire/Eve when Victor deals with Auntie Jordan?

 

[NinjaPenguins]

Am I taking PCP? I’m not entertained by our plucky heroines plotting premeditated murder. I guess it’s no big whoop for the Newman gang, but watching them declare themselves judge, jury and executioner was distasteful. I mean, Nick was the least objectionable Newman by a mile - like how the fuck does that happen? Great, Claire, you can feel the evil emanating from your aunt; I’m not sure Michael Baldwin can make that defense work in court. Your plan sucks worse than Billy’s, and Billy has no plan other than sealing farts in mittens and planting them in Chancellor’s ductwork.

Adam is such a putz anymore. Behaving like a lickspittle and performing stupid pet tricks for his father while Victor sits there soaking up the praise and pledges of loyalty… yuck. I’m sure the old raunch will be safe. Never mind that Victor has only ever been shown to have exactly one competent security person.

If only Nick had combed his hair, it would have been one of his better days on the show.

If the ailing doppelgänger  that is taking Jordan's place dies, will the prison notify Claire as next of kin?  This would open a whole new door for the Three Witches.  Claire is very convincing as a wide-eyed naif and wouldn't need to spill that she just saw the corpse-in-question.  She could show just enough remorse to be believable and even have the body shipped back for a proper burial.  Slip Jordie's remains into that coffin and, voilà, the whole Jordie situation would be over and done with.  Or they could just dig a hole deep enough and use plenty of lime.
2. Does the back of Victor's motorcycle jacket have his colors?  Like "Flaming A$$holes"?  Is he going to give Nick and Adam jackets, too?
3. What if Sharon is not drugged, but just terribly nearsighted?  (although I think she should have been suspicious of all the salty snacks Jordan left her.  Makes ya thirsty, hon.)

That would explain so much, so very much, from her wardrobe choices to her hullucinations.

She's not imagining Nick, she's actually seeing 

and thinks it's Nick.  The same rodent who chose her New Year's outfit.

EyeExam2000 to the rescue!

Why does everyone say that Billy has no plan?  Billy has a plan.  He's using The Secret.  He will think he owns Abbott Chancellor until he manifests it.  *Hello*

The pretzels Jordan left her were unsalted.  Who does that?!?  She really is the cruelest of sadistic sociopaths.

Are you sure they were unsalted, because if Auntie Jordan was trying to slip PCP to Sharon through the bottled water, wouldn't she want to make her even thirstier?

I read elsewhere that EB had a hand in getting MW off the show . . . did he have more clout with TPTB than MAB did?

I know who EB is, but please don't make this poor, old nanna have to look up who MW and MAB are - please?
