I didn't mind Sharon's top. But it isn't often that one coordinates the strap of your top with your belt. Breaking that barrier!

Sharon must not wear that get up at home. When she's driving that strap could get in the way of her seat belt and possibly end up broken.

I think Adam would be okay without Daddy Satan backing him. He’s got an Ivy League education and can probably be a smarmy weasel on his own dime. If he and Chelz haven’t saved anything from the lucrative jobs they’ve held, then they get what they get.

Plus Chelsea should have cleaned up from her multiple divorce settlements, no?

One of the funniest comments I've seen about Nikki's outfit is that her jewelry looked like it came from the Wilma Flintstone Collection. New from Hanna-Barbera! 😉

I'll sit next to you because I thought Phyllis' black dress she was wearing when harassing Danny and the Bug was cute.

I liked Sharon’s top. I don’t have the shoulders to pull it off but would wear it if I could! Or if I could afford it lol,

[MollyB]

Holden makes me wish I was 50 years younger. He's a very good looking man-except for the hair.  The perfect cut lines and high gloss finish remind me of the action figures my kids played with.  Or a Ken doll.  Too plastic.  Of course, if I were 50 years younger I would probably be gazing into those dreamy eyes, so who cares about hair?😉

To determine the true value of a piece of clothing, you have to look at things like how the fabric aligns at the seams and the quality of the stitching; Sharon's top is a cheap knock off that isn't worth more than 1/3 of the stated price of $395.

Note to Y&R stylist: When your tatas are above a certain weight, the straps on your crochet dress should be wider than a 1/2 an inch, because Audra's tatas looked like they were going to flop out every time she leaned forward.

Audra's dress: Evie Midi Dress in Poppy Red by Wilfred at Aritzia retails at $148.

There are hair products that men with that buzz saw style haircut use because otherwise, it can look dry and raggedy - it could be that Nathan Owens, the actor who plays Holden, may apply more product because the studio lighting tends to dry out the actors' hair, but I don't think any of that detracts from Mr. Owens looks.

Sharon didn’t need to strain her Botox to kiss ass about that train which doesn’t look very luxurious.

I thought that the train set was one of the better sets on the show; the decor looked elegant in its simplicity and the color choices certainly outshined the ones for the Abbott mansion.

[Unathletic Club]

As the elite of Genoa City travel via The Boreiant Express, now would be a good time for the take-over of one or all of their corporations. If Dumbass is smart, he is actually in GC as we speak. 

But he is probably just waiting for a little man to appear shouting, "The  train, the train".

Why do I think of the train going up the hill like something from Peppa Pig? I expect Grampy Pig to be revealed  as Dumas. Oink Oink!

dopey Amanda (who was dumb enough to get her invited)

Amanda knows who Aristotle Dumas is and there was something about the expression on her face when she "gave in" to Phyllis' pleas for an invite that made me think that there's a method to that madness.

[slayer3]

Oh God Jack, in times like this you defer to the meddling master and schemer who is Diane Jenkins Abbott not you. If Diane says Kyle shouldn't be in France then Kyle shouldn't be in France. Ugh, it's so frustrating rooting for the Abbotts on this show! They finally have a schemer (aside from Ashley) worth their salt and they don't listen to her gah! She is your secret weapon, listen to Diane!!

Victor keeps saying he knows who AD is, but he never tells anyone, which means that when AD does reveal himself to the assembled guests, Victor can just say that he knew it was so-and-so all along - why not make Victor back up his claim by putting it in writing on a piece of paper that will be tightly folded up and placed in Jack's keeping.

I think his hair is fine, that man is gorgeous and I am no Naomi Campbell to be judging that level of fine. I also think Holden should have been cast as Damian, he bears a striking resemblance to Sean Dominic.

Victor is as usual, full of it. All he can do these days is sit around barking "I'm Victor Newman" it's deranged. The writer needs to slowly  and cleverly write him out.

It's not Billy's fault, any woman that can bed Nick on the same couch she bedded his brother whilst Adam is knocking on the door outside has lost just about anything worth having IMO.

Snooty Nikki and her sore feet! Lol This storyline is so stupid but I watch to see if the elusive master of all this is Billy Flynn from Days of our Lives. 

[slayer3]

What exactly IS Nikki's problem with every woman in Genoa City? Is there a specific reason she was such an asshole to Sharon? I mean it can't be because Sharon was married to Victor, everyone was married to Victor! Also not for nothing it's not too late to retcon Holden as a Hastings or a Winters or some other ilk.

 

Also don't Chelsea and Billy share a child? That's more than enough reason for her to protect him from immature trashbags aka Newmans. Nevermind that Billy saved her life and was the only one taking her seriously when she was literally on the edge. As someone who has experienced mental health issues there is no greater kindness than someone being there for you in mental crises. It cannot be underscored how valuable it is. The irony that Abbott men have saved both the partners of Newman man while they were out sniffing around nonsense and neither Newman man's ego can stand that. Instead of being grateful, like a normal person they lash out and are accusatory and insane. Toxic masculinity in a nutshell.

You know, today, when she was walking thru the garden maze, I thought Sharon’s top, along with the white pants, actually looked kinda nice.  And Nikki?  Was too distracted by the Mrs.Roper beads to notice anything else on her.

Wowza, Audra is workin’ her wiggle, eh?  You go, Audra, stealing today’s show, hun!  Well, at least she’s trying to inject some life into this dull crowd.  She was sizzling in that va-va-voom dress!

And The Red/Orange Beast finally makes her appearance — and in a boobies-baring monstrosity jumpsuit.  Yuck, get lost, Red/Orange Beast!

While the character of Victor Newman is 78 (DoB 3/7/1947), EB is 84 and obviously feeling it, so it's time for "Victor" to be gradually transitioned to emeritus status; my guess is that Billy Flynn, who is 40, has been brought in to start that transition by introducing a new power player to the GC mix, with the focus gradually shifting from Victor to that new character.

[slayer3]

I really wish Victor would stop saying Billy Boy, it's so played out and immature. Actually I read that if you say a word repetitively ad nauseum you can develop a polyp or nodule on your vocal cords. One can dream. There will never be a day when I root for EB's Victor or JT's Billy Abbott. JT has me in a stronghold thanks to Patrick Drake, being a fellow Canadian and just his generally fantastic delivery that always makes everyone else sound insane even in situations where Billy is clearly off-center.

I'm saying! I hate to hate but Jermaine is giving me nothing but annoying gnat. His scenes with Lily where he insists there's chemistry remind me of every situation of an undeterred man hitting on me at a bar irrespective of my objections.

 

I feel sorry for Zuleyka, just because she's absolutely gorgeous doesn't mean she's the perfect candidate for a storyline about being a glorified wh*re for Victor Newman. JG is so deranged. A woman can be gorgeous and NOT use her beauty to be successful, and the cognitive dissonance being written for her regarding Nate makes her character seem like a sociopath.

Nikki's annoyance...dislike...hatred? with Sharon started back when she believed Sharon to be a gold digging slut back in high school when she began dating Nicholas.

[surfgirl]

As a PS from my last comment, I felt that Nikki's train ensemble was very Cote d'Azur. I could absolutely see that in Nice or Saint-Tropez, so that was my frame of reference. Sharon too, looked the part. The rest? Not so much. PeePaw looked like El Paunchito but in blue this time. Derpolas looked like an ape dressed in as much as one can dress up a primate (no disrespect to primates or apes anywhere!). I did love how Nick just stuffed his pie hole though, that was funny.

Oooo, you know who I wish was DooMah? Jill, that's who! That would be hilarious! To see Billy once again be outdone by momma would be worth the price of admission. Also, I don't buy that the Crypt Keeper already knows and has done bidness with DooMah. He's bluffing. If it was a new Neil Winters that would also be okay avec moi (see what I did there, Frenchies?!?).

Question: Did Amanda ever know Cane? I don't think she did, right? He left long before she came to town, IIRC, and I don't remember correctly often because I try not to keep such shite in my memory banks because...RELIQUARY!

[Js Nana]

Today's show made it clear that Dumas is spying on his guests, and from the view of the left side of AD's profile, it's pretty clear that, yes, Billy Flynn is playing Dumas - tomorrow's show looks like it's going to be focused on Danny/Daniel, Chelsea/Adam and Tessa/Mariah. 

10 minutes ago, surfgirl said:

You can wish all you want, but the view of Dumas' left profile while he was spying on his guests made it obvious, at least to me, that Billy Flynn is playing Dumas, and I don't think Mr. Flynn could pass for Jill.

If he did know, he'd document it in writing and leave the slip of paper in Jack's custody until the Dumas reveal.

So the train wasn't big enough to take all the guests to the chateau at the same time? I don't get why Sally and Billy rode with the Newmans instead of the Abbotts.

Nicholas. It's okay for your daddy to trash talk Billy to his face but if Billy answers back you have to step in? Hush, you cheval's rump.

Victor told Billy he's always ready to be surprised. Gee, I thought TGVN knew everything before it happened.

Wait, what? The robotic majordomo said the guests' clothes would be unpacked and ready for them in their private sleeping cars on the train. Seems to me they'd all be staying in Dumas' house. I'm so confused! 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Yeah, no, I wouldn't eat any of that buffet if someone held a Nerf blaster to my head. It's anyone's guess how long the food has been sitting out in the open air attracting bugs and dust. Ew.

Yeah they do but I can't forget how their child was conceived. Chelsea basically drugged and/or got Billy drunk and then sexually assaulted him. The show has  retconned it that Billy was sober enough to consent to what happened so, bygones! I wonder if Johnny will ever find out what actually happened.

Completely agree about the food and I kept thinking poison lol…. although honestly, those grapes looked really nice ! As well as the array of cheeses or at least, I think it was cheese !!

…. the majordōmo telling everyone that they would find their suitcases unpacked had me shaking my head because honestly, I don’t want anybody unpacking my suitcase. I like to do it myself, but that’s me.

WTF?  It takes an overnight to get to Mr Dumas chateau?  And if it’s an overnight, why are they wearing the same clothes?  

 

Every party needs a pooper and believe it or not Nikki is more of a pooper than Victor.  It looks like Nikki gargled with lemons.  

 

Sally you are very disingenuous. Billy👃’s head is always in the game?  No Sally it’s up his ass. 

 

Not to be a dirty old man but I didn’t hear a word Audra said. I was too enthralled looking at her “dress” 😜. 

 

If Mr Dumas is waiting for everyone to arrive before eating, won’t the food get cold and the fruits a little too warm?  

 

Can someone please tell me if Mr Dumas is a billionaire, why doesn’t he have color security cameras?  

 

Spoiler

I don’t think this is a spoiler but a saw a commercial for Y&R where it shows who Aristotle Dumas is (not Tucker).  I didn’t recognize him but he looked around the same age as Nick🦍.  Could it be a relative of Tucker or Tucker has a previously unknown son and half brother to Devon a la like Damion to Natey Nate Nate.

Looking at the grossness Nick the dick is now got me thinking . . . Chance, where you at?  Come back!

Yeah, Amanda.  We’ll see if she adds much cuz so far, her attitude, chock full of defensiveness & bitterness has been pretty unpleasant to watch.  If she continues this way, she could exit stage left & not be missed one bit.

So Sharon, Diane, and Abby seem to be the plus-one hangers-on that Dumbass is probably indifferent to.  And Pomp?  Who cares?  But I’m curious if there’s a definite reason Dumbass allowed The Red/Orange Beast & Audra to attend.

Sheesh, if Dumbass’s eyes don’t boing out at the sight of Audra in dat dress, he may have other issues goin’ on.  And The Red/Orange Beast?  Well, ya know she’s sure to stir up some kinda trouble with her usual crazy bullshit . . .

Also the scripts have his scene parters doing most of the talking for him, explaining what he's doing or thinking. It's all very pathetic and sad.

[Kemper]

I swear, if Victor is pulling the strings of the Dumaaahs character...I actually think I will be done. My foot is already half way out the door. I know nothing about the actor... Billy Somethng ... who has joined the show and is rumored to be Dumaahs. But I have little faith (or interest) in whoever it turns out to be. Because he will be terribly written and likely disappear after about six months.

[NinjaPenguins]

Billy called Victor a geriatric edge lord. No lies detected.

You know, the train was pretty cool. Then we get characters gushing about the most gorgeous, lavish estate they’ve ever seen, the beautiful (bland, fake ass looking) hedge maze and the whimsical dining area with flowers never before smelled or whatever. Do we see any of this besides the dreary maze? No, we just get vague exposition about how magnificent everything is. Riveting television. Just riveting.

Forget about the telling-but-not-showing narrative incompetence and marvel at the sheer laziness on display as well, what with ushering little groups of characters through the exact same scenarios and putting the same repetitive, inane speculation in their mouths. Newmans on a train plus Biscuit Boy, Abbotts on the same train with Audra, Phyllis on the train, so far alone. The Winters may join her, I suppose, but for their sake I hope not. We get to watch each group read that fucking welcome card and listen to them theorize about what DOO-mah has in store for them. He’s playing a game! He’s going to smash their worst enemy! He’s making them fight for his amusement! Then we get to watch each group toddle through the maze while exchanging bad sitcom level banter. You can’t get more creative than writing the same damn scene over and over but with different actors.

Dumbass probably invited them all to Nice to seize the petroleum reserve on Nick’s head. Suckers.

[ScoobieDoobs]

So far, I think you'd get more suspense & excitement & originality watching any silly ep of Gilligan's Island than this crap.  And I haven't seen that since I was 12.  Just sayin' . . .

I found the hedge on amazon. It boasts privacy and protection! I can't give you any more info than that lest anyone think I was a hedge salesperson, or in cahoots with Dumbass, or even Dumbass himself.

[bayviewbubba]

Nick long ago settled into the dadbod, jokey, innocuous, cardboard background, space holding, token male in the scene.  Plop him into any sitcom where he's the dumb husband in the picture and there you go.  Any flashes of competence or insight are fleeting and rare.  For an actor it's an easy spot, not much effort required, and also a pretty safe place because when you are low key in all the stories but have no defined role, there's no flame out potential. That's one way of staying in a role for 40 years or more.

No it only takes about 30 min to an hour. Just enough time for the guests to drink champagne, eat caviar and snark at each other. Presumably the sleeping cars are where they will stay during this shindig. Because I guess the great and powerful Dumbass doesn’t want them soiling his property.

This is why I think they did the shoe thing with Nikki, EB is having a tough time, this is why they need to siphon him out of A storylines (they should have years ago) and highlight their very full cast. There are plenty of characters that can make up the constant stream of meddling Victor provides. I don't say this to be abelist and I wouldn't say this if EB wasn't such an ego because god knows I wanted as much Katherine as they wanted to give me and I definitely wanted way more Lila Quartermaine on GH but EB seems to see himself as a young buck still in his prime despite all evidence to the contrary and since the character is already exhausting it really doesn't add to his "charm"

To be fair I do enjoy EB's acting when he behaves like a person. He's had some wonderful scenes with JM (like when he told Nick he was siding with him over Christian and that he was a good father and they both cried. And when Victor had to lock Adam in an institution and Adam called for him and VIctor sat crying silently.  Those moments really touched me. I also enjoy when he breaks character a little with the giggles like he did in the maze or when he's interacting with children or something that brings out EB's childlike joy but those human moments are so few and far between the barking orders and declarations of supremacy that I'm most often left bereft.

He also said they'd be pressed.  Too bad they didn't get to Nick and Viktor's shirts before they put them on.

I get the sleeping cars instead of rooms in the chateau if this visit is only going to last for the party (and then next morning 'here's your hat, what's your hurry?').  Saves the help having to repack their sh!t and carry it to the train.  What I don't get is where the fcuk are they going to park 10 sleeping cars and a locomotive.  Haven't any of these writers watched Thomas and his train friends?  I don't care how big the Doo-mah grounds are-it ain't gonna fit a train terminal.  Wouldn't a funicular system have made more sense?  At least it would have made sense for each group to be separate, because those cars are rather small.

I don't get the several trips back and forth to the party, either.  Does JG get paid by the scene?  Bonus points for repetitive scenes?  Doo-mass doesn't know enough about his victims invitees that he has to see how they react to champagne and caviar?

And while I'm on a rant:  Add to the If It Were A Drinking Game, We'd All Be In Rehab list the word "Intrigue" and all it's variants.  Nate used to be the one to say it about almost everything-he was intrigued on a daily basis.  But now everyone is using it.  Get a thesaurus, JG, they still exist.

And lastly: two words I thought of were not 'wait and hope', they were 'bite me'.

Not for nothing, but I thought Diane's outfit was very cute and appropriate both for her age and for traveling. Last thing-I will never quit this site because of posters lil the one who referred to this as "The Boreient Express" and the one who said Nikki's jewelry was from the Wilma Flintstone collection-bravo, chefs kiss, no notes.

This is why I think they did the shoe thing with Nikki,

That's what I thought too. The heels of her sandals were kind of clunky but they weren't that tall. The main problem I saw with Nikki's shoes were those thin straps. They likely did start  pinching her feet a bit but the whole thing was a distraction for Victor's tiredness.

I found the hedge on amazon. It boasts privacy and protection! I can't give you any more info than that lest anyone think I was a hedge salesperson, or in cahoots with Dumbass, or even Dumbass himself.

Hee! Dumas should've waited a few weeks and bought them on Amazon Prime Day. Gah those things looked cheap, and the whole set seems to have been repurposed from parts of Chancellor Park and the Abbott estate.

He also said they'd be pressed.  Too bad they didn't get to Nick and Viktor's shirts before they put them on.

I get the sleeping cars instead of rooms in the chateau if this visit is only going to last for the party (and then next morning 'here's your hat, what's your hurry?').  Saves the help having to repack their sh!t and carry it to the train.  What I don't get is where the fcuk are they going to park 10 sleeping cars and a locomotive.  Haven't any of these writers watched Thomas and his train friends?  I don't care how big the Doo-mah grounds are-it ain't gonna fit a train terminal.  Wouldn't a funicular system have made more sense?  At least it would have made sense for each group to be separate, because those cars are rather small.

I don't get the several trips back and forth to the party, either.  Does JG get paid by the scene?  Bonus points for repetitive scenes?  Doo-mass doesn't know enough about his victims invitees that he has to see how they react to champagne and caviar?

And while I'm on a rant:  Add to the If It Were A Drinking Game, We'd All Be In Rehab list the word "Intrigue" and all it's variants.  Nate used to be the one to say it about almost everything-he was intrigued on a daily basis.  But now everyone is using it.  Get a thesaurus, JG, they still exist.

And lastly: two words I thought of were not 'wait and hope', they were 'bite me'.

Molls, girl! Stop with all the sense-making talk!
