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


Recommended Posts

(edited)

Sharon's cold shoulder top. Guess she's borrowing clothes from her bestie Phyllis now. 😼

Ice cold Claire stared at Adam like she was ready throw down if he didn't play nice. Claire vs. Adam: Let's go!

Get all the way over yourself, Diane. Billy doesn't give a two craps about you. Self-centered much?

"Billy is an outlier." Lol, no lies detected there, Jackie. I think Billy might as well be on Neptune as far as the Abbotts are concerned.

Wait, what? "Diane Abbott?" When did she drop Jenkins? Whatever, it made me think of Bobby DeNiro's ex, Diahnne Abbott. #randomaccessmemory

For once Daniel was able to have an encounter with Sharon and not bring up the whole Heather saga. Thanks, Tessa!

FFS, why are they making such a big deal about Adam's condo? Seems like half of GC has lived there at one time or another, most famously Lily and Billy when they were a couple.

According to Sharon, Mariah hasn't told her what awful thing she did when she was on her business trip. Why even bring it up to Nick then? Does Sharon want Nick to go pull a full confession out of Mariah? Ehh.

Anything that would make me sit and sip a cup of tea while watching.

For me, that would mean fading out the focus on the Abbotts, Newmans, Chancellors and Hamilton-Winters' clique by steadily introducing storylines based around the trials and tribulations of GC's professional, middle and working classes - out with company jets, family mansions and compounds and take-out meals from trendy, up-scale eateries, in with suburban houses, rented apartments, multi-generational homes and pizza delivery for characters who work for the Abbotts, Newmans, Chancellors and Hamilton-Winters' - wouldn't it be a kick if to have a character walk in the door after an exhausting day spent working for one of those families and announce "Well, you'll never guess who the new co-CEO is this time!"

So I couldn’t resist and looked up Phyllis’ latest fashion don’ts. 
 

that blue thing she’s been wearing costs $1080. That brown cobra dress is ‘only’ $664. And for the budget conscious among us, the teal mesh-top thing is $88.

I think Phyllis look fantastic, superhot IMO, I just mute it when she talks. I'm on Billy's side vs Diane and the house. What did she think would happen? It's their house. I like Diane and I love the presentation of the actress and have seen her on many shows, I just hate when she plays Diane really haughty and entitled. She has a snootiesh air to her sort of the way Melody plays Nikki sometimes that makes her seem a lot colder or more obnoxious than she needs to be.

Like I haven't seen a humble version of Diane since she came into town. Billy has a right to dislike the house, he didn't attack her he just stated his opinion when asked. He's not required to love it and that's what Diane initially told everyone although she seems to be going back on it. She's just giving the energy of a woman who believes that all the Abbotts owe her acceptance and kindness, it's as though she's frustrated that they haven't immediately taken her into their arms and treated her like a long lost sister, which given her past backstabbing with Victor is absolutely nuts to expect of them IMO.

As an aside has Clare always been this happy go lucky or am I reading it wrong. She seems almost Stepford Wife Smiley, it's a little odd. Cute girl but something is strange there. Also, who plans their dating life around their grandfather, good grief if you're that insecure you really shouldn't be in a relationship.

Now see, I actually believed Nick married Sharon in London.  Not because I'm gullible, but because everything that happens on this show happens offscreen, and we hear about it later over empanadas at Society.

Right? I have to give credit to JM and the writers because that moment was very nicely done. It's not a ruse they should pull often though or IMO it'll get annoying.

Speaking of everything happening off camera:

  • Summer adopting Harrison in Italy
  • Nick's invisible son Christian's life
  • Mariah having a drunken ONS with Aristotle Dumas and getting pregnant with his baby

Okay, maybe not the Mariah thing but wow are there some amazing spumors floating around about her big secret. Also, the whole "I accidentally got pregnant with a billionaire's baby" is a popular theme in romance novels right now. It could be just the kind of pop culture bandwagon JG would jump on.

She's a Newman, they probably set her up with a trust fund immediately and she's also working for Grandma-and probably pulling a healthy salary.  If that's not enough she could sell the horse....

Victor will find some excuse for not funding a business he never intended to fund in the first place.

Grampimpire already built that into the contract:  1) she has to lure (seduce) Kyle away from Claire and prove it AND 2) the Clomps have to be totally broken up so that they will never, ever be a couple again.  The only thing Audra is going to get out of this is losing Nate and more egg on her face.

Opening camera shot on Billy's crotch as he strutted into the Jabot CEO office. KMN. Nice suit though.

Whee, Jack didn't hold back on throwing shade at the idea of Sally being Billy's COO at AbbCom. Guess Billy forgot Jack and Sally dated for a minute.

I thought Billy made a solid point about Sally/AbbCom vs. Diane/Jabot. And at first all Jack could do in response was his trademark grimace, ha ha.

Adam, you killed Billy's child. The Fates will never give you meaningful high ground over him. Listen to Chelsea and seek another source of motivation besides your daddy's always conditional approval.

Lily. In what world do you have the right to expect Damian to quit his job just because you're scared of Aristotle Dumas? Girl, bye.

TMW your boyfriend baby daddy ex-husband's father dismisses you so the menfolk can talk important business. And then Chelsea thanked Victor for treating her like a side dish. WTAF?

Victoria gave a Claire a relatively small trust fund but Victor hasn't. I think it's weird how Victor claims to love Claire like his other grandkids but all he's given her is a horse from the Newman stable. I doubt she's even allowed to take her horse off the ranch. Plus, the horse can die, unlike a hefty two-digit dollar amount followed by six or seven zeros.

Chelsea seems to still be defending Billy👃. Adam just made a simple statement that AC is not even close to running and that he will have the competitive edge. Chelsea just jumped to the conclusion that Adam has turned this into a battle between him and Billy👃.  No Chelsea, it’s just business.  Chelsea, I got news for you, Billy👃is a lot more cut throat than Adam at this time.  This is evident by Billy👃 entertaining the idea of getting into bed with Mr Dumbass.  Another thing Chelsea, if you felt that way, then why take the job in the first place?  You knew what NM was and you should know that you can’t change it.  

Chelsea, it’s Billy👃 you should have a heart to heart with. He’s the one that’s planning revenge to settle the score with Victor on forcing him out of Chancellor. 

Billy👃 is such a petty ass man child. He throws a hissy fit because a house that he no longer lives in and visits once in a while has changed. Then he has the audacity to ask Jack if he’s going along with the refresh just to appease Diane.  

Who the fuck does Lily think she is?  She must have a large set of balls to ask Damian to quit his job. To what end?  Just a chance to get into her panties?  Oh it’s for offering Damian a job when she actually doesn’t know what skill set he has nor asks Devon first.

Ditto comments upthread, it's funny how Lily doesn't consider the possibility Damian working at Winters Inc. would create a backdoor opening for Dumas. Her inflated ego maybe her undoing.

Apparently Victor expects Adam to handle Chelsea the same way he handles wifey Nikki: the wimmens must know their place and obey their men. This guy.

William, you should back away from a war with Victor because he has nukes and you have toy drones you bought at the local big box store. Your problems with Jill are a separate issue. Sigh.

Uh, Chelsea seems to have absolutely no idea what she got herself into — she will soon enough.  This is why it made no sense for her to leave a cushy job for this shit.  She seems to have no idea that she’s working for a slimeball weasel & his father, Satan.  Surprise, surprise, hun, ya are!!!

Oh, and a prediction here — what do ya bet The Red Beast hits up Adam for a job, in her quest for revenge against Billy firing her from the business that doesn’t exist, but has a name that’s repeated over & over & over?  And what do ya bet Adam will hire her cuz he knows it’ll bug Billy?

And then Chelsea will have to work closely with The Red Beast.  Think Chels would have any regrets on her wonderful career choice then?  HaHaHaHaHaHa . . .

And speaking of businesses that are constantly talked about, and have a name but don’t exist, there’s Audra’s non-existent biz.  Is this a trend in GC?  Uh, OK.  Well, at least Billy does have dough from Jackie.  Whether he gets off his lazy, bony ass & does anything with it is another story.

And Audra?  She’s gettin’ nothing from Vic till she gets him those Pomp porn pics.  Now I’m wondering if she thinks she can get creative with AI and make up porn pics with Pomp to fool Claire.  And then eventually Natey will see the porn pics & break up with her & her rep will really be in the toilet.  Luvs ya. Audra, but sheesh, you’re a dope.  Doing any deal with Vic was dumb, dumb, dumb.

If Allison Lanier is actually leaving Y&R to explore other opportunities I wish her lots of luck.  Kim Matula, Hope from The Bold and the Beautiful also left to pursue other opportunities. Kim was in a movie opposite Scott Eastwood that had her do risqué scenes but Kim’s best work was in a sit com. Kim was very funny but I can’t see Allison in a sit com and I would hate to see her doing risqué scene just to be in a movie.

I don't know what crawled up Lily's butt and died, but it's apparent something did.  She's been a tear ever since she went back to Winters, where she's apparently so "happy".  If that's happy then I'd hate to see her when she's miserable.

She hasn't made me feel sorry for Damien, or wish he had more screen time but if decides to go work at Winters he better come dressed for frostbite and a Nuclear Winter - pun intended.

Okay, enough about the Abbott redecoration, enough about Diane's need to be a "real" Abbott, whatever that is.  Besides, Diane, Billy is a "real" Abbott and you can't possibly expect anyone to believe you want to be like him!?!

Enough about Billy's feelz, too.  All Billy does is have his feelz to the exclusion of anyone or anything else.  It's not an attractive look for a middle-aged man to constantly carry on like a middle schooler who wasn't chosen at recess.  

It's also time for Sally to date an actual human male both age-appropriate and not a crying manbaby, she's had enough of that with both Adam and Billy.  

But then again, where ARE men in Genoa City who aren't either big old petulant babies or creatures from a Lovecraftian nightmare?

One more thing.......can you imagine exactly HOW EMBARRASSING it must have been for everyone in London who had to look at or interact with Nick????  I bet Noah's not coming home soon, and I also bet he's not inviting his family to visit any time soon, either.

I'd start a go fund me for Audra if: she clues Kyle and Clare in on what's what and then they do an act like Jack and Diane did recently.  Make Victor believe that Audra and Kyle did the thing, that Clare found out, and that Victor got his wish.  When Audra gets her $, Kyle and Clare join her in the new company and they all blow raspberries in Victor's face.  Likelihood of success - low.  But the staging and production values of their video proof could be fun.

Deciding the where, maybe under one of the booth tables in Crimson Lights?  Wardrobe, doesn't matter the season, tear away clothing is mandatory.  How will Clare find out, maybe she loses an earring and gets down to look under the tables?  The inevitable security cameras in CL could record the whole thing.  And, Esther would be the confirming witness. She'd never know if it was real or not.  And the Yelp reviews might take a jump up also for the entertainment, because it can't help but be better than Daniel's abortive guitar lessons.

Here in the Seattle area the show started about 20 minutes in. And with what was shown today, we didn't miss anything. Same old crap. Adam and Chels fretting about Victor, Billy fighting with Victor then whining to Jack then Devon and Nate telling Lily what a dope she is offering Damon a job.

Oh and could Lily be more delusional about Neil's relationship to Victor. Victor thought of Neil as an equal? Hardly. He just didn't feel like besting him as much as he does Jack but he was more than happy to cut him loose when he wasn't useful anymore.

Gee, for a boring day I sure had a lot to say about it.

I agee with Billy. After all these years, why is Victor still so obsessed with him? IMO it says more about Victor's weaknesses than about Billy's.

Lily, you need to listen to your brother and your cousin. If Devon and Nate aren't panicked about this person who is still largely a myth, why should you be? Besides, Damian is working you, not trying to help you.

Heh, Holden has no desire to leave GC now that he has his eye on at least one GC woman. I don't want him to leave either. How you doin', Holden? 😍

My theory is Lily can't stand working for Devon. Note how she always refers to Winters Inc. as "our family's company." Nah, hon, it's Devon's. He's just giving you a paycheck so you'll stay out of Victor's hair, and you hate it. Poor baby.

Am so distracted by Chelsea's outfit. I have a silk or satin blouse similar to hers except in a more generic color. I don't like the way she wears it.

Meanwhile, I'm beyond tired of listening to Chelsea and Adam twist themselves into pretzels to find something to argue about. Connor's OCD. Victor. Billy. Sally. YAWN.

WTF, Victor. If Aristotle Dumas wanted his business dealings with Billy to be known he'd publicize them himself. Gah you are such a blowhard. I don't even know why Billy was entertaining your nonsense threats.

Damian sure was putting a hard sell on Holden to take over running the Dumas stuff in L.A.. It seemed hella shady to me. Hang tough, Holden!

Whee! Speaking of the white smoke, there's a reason it took so long for the new Pope to appear on the balcony after he'd been elected. Turns out he had to referee an argument among the cardinals over whether the Vatican cafeteria will start serving deep dish instead of flat & crispy. 😉

Chelsea this not about you.  Victor would have done this even if you were not at NM. Chelsea should have stayed in her lane and kept her job at Marchetti if she was going to question everything that goes on at NM.  Chelsea is ready to throw everything away for Billy👃.  How long will Adam keep his job if he says no to Victor.  Chelsea want to be able to tell the truth but isn’t telling how much Billy👃 is a screw up the truth.  

Billy👃you pathetic man boy, it wasn’t hard for Victor to convince Jill that she should dump him. I think that firing Lily was the last straw for her.

Good Lord, could this wretched show get anymore boring?  Of all of the social issues or exciting storylines that could be created they are spending time analyzing their makeover of the Abbott Mausoleum?  This show is pathetic.

Though I'm still analyzing the makeover of the Abbott Mausoleum. What I don't understand is why someone like Diane would bother to change what looked like grandma Dina's home 50+ years ago into someone else's unknown grandma's home with tchotchkes and a portrait that nobody recognizes. I think even Jack was expecting Diane to completely make it her own, updating the style to something more like Sally's decor.  Otherwise just refresh the paint and draperies/upholstery and keep the family's favourite and familiar art and accessories.

Why is no one, especially Claire, telling Victor he is treating her just like Jordan did. Telling her what she can and cannot do all because he loves her.

Why did Claire think Nikki would be of any help?  She was useless (in yet another hair-don’t).  She likes her lifestyle way too much to go against Vic.  Same with Adam.  You know he’ll slink away from the apartment deal cuz Vic ordered him to.

Wow, Chelsea sounded like an idiot & a fool talkin’ to Chloe.  Maybe cuz she is?

Ah, so I was wrong about The Red Beast going to Adam, eh?  From the preview, she goes right to Vic.  Typical behavior for her.  Yech, she’s gross.

Someone over on reddit made a compilation video of all the times Aristotle Dumas was mentioned in February and March. I can't wait to see the one for April and May. Feh, JG must have seen the viewer complaints about Cyaxares during the Ashland Locke storyline and said, "Hold my beer."

Chelsea, clueless much? The last thing Chloe wanted to hear was you gushing about your reunion with Adam. Chloe loathes Adam with good reason, you self-centered dingbat.

Adam even had someone checking at the FBI for info on Aristotle Dumas. If they don't know who Dumas is, no one's ever seen his face, and he's based in DC, he must be Deep State 🥸. Even deeper than the CIA. Genoa City, you in danger, lol.

Claire is a grown@$$ woman and she had to ask Victor's permission to move in with someone. Followed by Grandma No Guts bailing on supporting Claire too. Aargh!

AFAIC Nikki straight up stabbed Claire in the front by failing to back her up against Victor, after she'd said she would. Then Nikki played mind games with Claire to save her own cracked face. Worst grandma ever!

Recently Michael did bring up Jordan when he and Victor were hashing out the corporate spying scheme aimed at Jabot. Victor blew up and said making a comparison to Jordan was a slur against mankind. Claire is brave  but she probably doesn't want that kind of smoke.
