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

[Runningwild]

Gross!! Is Staff Infection really that impressed with her saggy boobs that she thinks we need to see them? Ugh. There is nothing attractive about SyPhyllis and she’s a horrible actress. 
 

(Thankfully, GH was able to hire a decent actress to replace her as Nina. Just wish we still had GT as Phyllis.)

I’m glad to see that TPTB have decided to sacrifice Jack at the altar of the Dumpster Humper. No, I’m actually the complete bleeping opposite of glad. It was a month ago that Jack was telling her he was disgusted by her vendetta against Sally, but now his head is up her behind. Why are so many characters okay with this 50+ year-old woman acting like a child followed by her meaningless half apologies?

They've somehow managed to make Billy even more annoying than the Dumpster Humper. That’s like scaling the Mount Everest of annoying. I’m fast forwarding most of his scenes now and I’m still saying STFU.

I don't think anyone could be more annoying than Phyllis, frankly. And she doesn't get a pass from me for what Victor did to her, she deserved whatever it was, she ran Cricket over with a car after imploding her marriage with a paternity lie when she may or may not have raped Danny and that isn't even the least of her offenses. She deserves whatever Victor throws at her and frankly it's beneath Victor to be gleeful about Sally's treatment. What she did for Summer was business motivated and the very least of what he'd do for business he should be secretly impressed, Summer is a useless tart anyway, it's not like she's Faith or Connor or Noah. She was born out of wedlock, the product of an affair directly after Cassie's horrible death. She's the literal definition of a bastard, and her mother is the town pariah, don't know where the sudden loyalty comes from.

You know if Sally talked to Cricket she might be able to spare us all of Phyllis and her shitty 12year old antics for good. At this point Nick is just with her for the sex (like always) I hope she cheats on him with Jack and Sally sees it all.

[Gam2]

I am so over hearing Phyllis and Nicki accuse Sally of “what you did to Summer”. Summer now has the dream of a job, lives in Milan, Italy with her fiancé and his little boy. What exactly did they do to her?! Yuck!!

Phyllis has been on the show since at least 1994 and she has yet to be faithful to any man she's dated longer than two days--not Jack, not Nick, not even Danny, who she was willing to attempt vehicular homicide over.

It's not a matter of if she cheats, but when and with whom. Hopefully not with Billy again, because God they were intolerable enough with Gina Tognoni in the role and she was capable of nuance when a scene called for it. 

Also wow, when someone told me Adam/Sally was a thing in the B&B forum, I thought it was a joke. I....don't even know what to think except to say I wish Courtney Hope a successful career after leaving the soap world because they sure don't utilize her well here. Oh and that it's still a better love story than her and Wyatt (but only just so) lol

am SMH at Sphyllis and Drinki and calling bullshit on these holier than thou crones passing judgment on Sally. These two have enough skeletons in their closets to populate two good-sized cemeteries, including dumpster sex, cheating on their partners, lying about paternity, putting an octopus in a newly-married couple's bed, stripping, and MURDER so they can both STFU and take all the seats.

Okay, I gotta ask....which one of them put an octopus in someone's bed? 😭😂

Hey Nikki, Sally can’t be trusted because of what she did to poor poor dimwitted Summer but Rodan can be trusted?  Does Nikki know that Rodan was part of the plot to change Victor’s medication?  Does Nikki know about Rodan’s run ins with her precious daughter, Olive?  And of course the big betrayal is that Rodan is more trustworthy than Sally even after Rodan through Nikki, Sharon, and Olive under the bus to save her own skin with the J.T. debacle.

There was also the thing Phyllis did that made Nikki and Victoria call the cops on her to have her arrested on her wedding day to Nick in 06. I forgot the details, but I'm sure it was well deserved.

I'd rather watch Flo Fulton ream out Sally than anyone in Genoa City. Sally didn't do much damage to that cow either but the faked illness and kidnapping for 30 minutes was still more or an incovenience than what happened to Summer. And fuck whoever it is that greenlit this script for making me defend the Scrappy Doo of B&B.

Agree with all of this. I’ve always detested MS’s version of Phyllis with the whispering, repeating and waving her arms and hands around like a mental patient on meth. I’ve also always hated Summer. She has no good qualities. She couldn’t even go after the new job herself. She allowed Tara to manipulate her because she is stupid. Even on Life in Pieces the actress was a not very bright slutty person. I think that’s all she has to offer.

Thank you, that was way before my time and I'd never heard about that before. Figures she'd do something like that, but I didn't want to rule out Nikki being drunk and spiteful either.

None whatsoever. Like, one of her first stories after being SORASed was her purposely crashing into Adam's car with a pregnant Chelsea in it and Daddy pets his kitten on the head and buys her a new one. And she's only gotten worse from there.

Even worse than being evil is being ass backwards stupid. Summer's closest counterpart on B&B would be Steffy, another queen bitch who ain't exactly a card carrying member of MENSA herself but has been shown to execute plans of her own with some level of success. And as much as she was willing to throw her own stepsister under the bus in the 2010s, she wasn't so stupid as to give away body parts other than her brass cooter to make it happen.

Is it wrong that out of all the stuff Summer's done, the one that still puts me off most is getting willingly railed by Billy while completely sober? Because ew. Even she deserves better.

And I feel like Billy really loves Lily, whereas Cane always seemed to me like Lily was mainly a prop for him in this image he wanted to create of a perfect wife and mother in his perfect family. Billy has his issues but I will never miss Cane.

I've always thought of this comparison, too, but idk....for me, Summer is way worse than even Miss Thang.  JMW can at least manage a hint of kindness in Steffy, and make me believe at times that she can be a decent person.  Summer is all of Steffy's absolute worst and somehow even more spoiled and undeservedly praised.  

I think Summer is my most despised character on this show (Grampire comes and goes, and at least he does have some charisma).   She's awful, yet no one can recognize that and instead have to spoil her and kiss her ass.   Plus she should have been Jack's, but the Newmans have to have 50,000 kids, so.  

[Chatty Cake]

I caught up on Fridays episode finally. Phyllis looked like a drowned rat! Her tirade against Sally is becoming dumber by the day. I really hope that Sally comes out on top.

[Waldo13]

Nostrils you are a god dam big big lier beside being an ass hole and a prick. If you where on your best behavior last night, than the Pope is Jewish.  Of course Nostrils didn’t mention the drink that was thrown in Rodan’s face and that Olive Oyl sided with Rodan “this time”. 

At least Sharon gave us the courtesy of wearing a bra under her white blouse unlike Rodan who just had to show off those droopy boobies.  Sharon looked very nice today as did Sally. I partially liked liked that color on her. 

No Ashley, as far as I’m concerned, Mariah is the mother and Abby is the mommy.  Mariah was the person who actually carried Bowie, for how ever long, and borne Bowie.  For me that’s why Mariah is the mother.  

Chloe is feeling very insecure in her position with NM because Chloe knows in her heart of hearts that Sally is more qualified for the position and she only got the job so Chelsea would be lured into NM. 

So there you have it with Mariah feeling remorse for having to give up Bowie. It started with Mariah leaving the hospital (back to reality) and Abby basically ignoring Mariah and being a little incentive towards her. This was oh so predictable because it’s definitely frowned upon to have a surrogate that hasn’t had a baby before especially someone you know.  Was Mariah’s sense of motherhood heightened  because of the kidnapping?  Of course but there is the attachment that would have happened either way.  My only solace is that Mariah and Tessa should have more screen time. I’m sure we are going to hear a lot more from Devon also.

I'll be happy to settle for more Devon if we get more Mariah and Tessa and fewer Rodan sightings.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Whee, Adam zeroed right in on that tight little booty. Go on with your bad self, Sally. 😏

Why is Mariah still going to be living at the Chancellor estate? Technically she won't be wet-nursing Tater so I don't see any reason for her and Tessa to keep staying there. That's going to make her emotional separation from him even more difficult.

Billy mentioned that Ashland has had his last chemo treatment. Does that mean he's cured? And what was with Billy's shiny, slicked back hair? He looked like a wannabe mafia don to me.

Do rich people still run around writing huge checks at the drop of a hat? Seems like a tired trope to me. 🤠

TMW you realize your employee is sorta dating your boss. Rock, meet hard place.

These mutual tongue-bathing sessions between Elena and Lily are interesting. And by "interesting" I mean, "Why don't you two just get a room already?" Gah.

Wonder if Ashley was having flashbacks of her towel baby today? It's like Tater is a swaddled football, lol.

Chloe, shut up. You are not in a "healthy relationship." Have you met Kevin before? Arson, statuatory rape, and bank robbery were just another Monday for him. Adam ain't got nothing on Kevin.

So Connor is being positioned as the cockblocker between Adam and Sally? Oh please. For all we know the little brat might decide he likes Sally. Chloe must be feeling desperate to drop that card already.

No Elena, the hardest part of Lily's sojourn in prison was that Hilary and her unborn baby were still dead. You might want to think twice about getting in a car with Lily when she's mad. ☠

Victor referred to his private suite at the Grey Peephole. Is that opposed to a public suite?

OMG, the napkins at Society had tassels on them. A) IMO that cannot be entirely sanitary with all the extra "bugs" in the air right now looking for a place to lodge themselves, and, B) those napkins must be tricky to clean. Eww. When style over substance might go seriously wrong. 😷

Was that loud thud an anvil dropping? Sounds like Mariah may "steal" wee Bowie. <sad face>

I'm impressed with how maturely Sally is handling things with Adam. It's good that she isn't taking Connor as a challenge. She's no match for Damien 2.0.

Ashland assured Victoria he's never broken the law. Oh dear, that must mean he's committed all the felonies. Or at least one or two really big ones. 😐

Now Victoria dislikes Sally because she helped dumbass Summer get a good job?? For the love of god someone tell Victoria that Summer pursued Billy relentlessly until he finally succumbed and used her for revenge and discarded her like the trash she is. 
Billy, the degenerate gambler is the one who digs dirt on Ashland? Enough of this guy buzzing around town like an old gossip. 
Surrogates usually have children of their own to avoid what’s about to happen to Mariah. They don’t live with the family after the baby arrives.

I have hated this surrogate story ever since it's inception; hated every single minute of it.  Mariah's ordeal as a prisoner has simply been glossed over.  Abby is basking being the center of her cheering squad; no one, not even Sharon (the licensed therapist), seems to be concerned about Mariah's ordeal, The "Baby Club" today was in the worst possible taste. They all look like clueless idiots.  

I wish the money spent on hiring a new Noah had been spent on improving the writing staff. The Kyle as Father, the terrible casting of Tara (was that her name?); the rushed ending. I was complaining about Sharon always getting an "A" story; sadly, now it is Phyllis.

How tiny of a budget does this show have now?  Okay, I get that having a real live baby in the studio might be  tricky in these trying times (although B&B just had one), but could they not even spring for a somewhat life-like baby doll?  That thing wrapped in the blanket looked more like a Hickory Farms summer sausage than a human infant.

I like that Sally is using the amenities at The Granny Panties just to needle Phyllis.  

[JNavarro]

If the surrogate story were done maturely and showed everyone's perspective and feelings, I could be fine with it.  So of course, I hate it. 

Considering what Mariah's been through having agreed to do this for Abby, Abby REALLY owes it to to her to make sure the "bringing home" period focuses on her mental health and well being.  Throwing a happy go lucky party with the brood mare having to regale the guests about her kidnapping probably isn't the best idea.  

That being said, and I hate saying this...Mariah still isn't the kids mother.  Abby is.

CBS really sucks the big one. First they preempt than there are 6 minutes of commercials before the start of today’s show.  

Rey, the stone face detective. Even when he smirks, he still is stoned faced.  Once again I have to say to Rey, jealousy is a sign of ownership not a sign of love. So get that fucking chip off your shoulder and accept reality. As Adam reiterated, you just have to accept reality of his and Sharon’s long relationship. Yes Rey, insert yourself in Adam’s life but god forbid Adam inserts himself in yours.  Rey, go fuck yourself you miserable bastard.  Rey is one step closer to Rodan on my despise meter.  

Wow, Sharon went to Cracker Jack University and self centered Abby came up with the same conclusion that Mariah feels a sense of loss.

Should Mariah be drinking coffee while she's still giving her milk to the baby? Poor little guy will addicted to caffeine before he can even walk. ☕

Oy, Faith and Moses are so painful to watch. I don't think either of the actors are skilled enough to make their characters believable as a romantic couple. They almost seem like they can barely stand each other.

IMO Rey deserved to be read by Adam but Adam, where was the lie in what Rey said? You are always looking for a reason to be in Sharon's orbit, even though she's told you she's dedicated to her marriage. Stop trying to put Rey on the defensive. 😐

When I accidentally read a spoiler about Abby receiving bad news about Chance I was hoping it would be that he'd been killed. Turns out he's only gone deeper undercover. Meh. Sorry not sorry.

Well, Mariah may not blame Sharon for failing her for most of the time she was missing but I sure do. I've got a solid grip on that grudge. 🤨

Sharon completely missed the boat on why Mariah wasn't interested in making nice with Adam. And then she tried to act clueless about what Adam was up to, again. Yet she keeps leaving the door cracked for Adam to worm his way back in. Meanwhile, Mariah is drowning in a pool of emotions. 🙁

Lol, does Tater even weigh a pound? Abby looked to me like she was hugging a bundle of air. Couldn't they at least get a doll for MO to carry?

Countdown until Abby tells Mariah to get to steppin'. Mariah is never going to lose her bond to the baby as long as she remains in that house. Abby should put her up in deluxe suite somewhere and arrange for a courier to pick up Mariah's pumped milk.

[boes]

Gosh, Devon, you must be exhausted going around town explaining everything to everyone!

How kind of you to mansplain new motherhood to Abby in such excrutiating detail and then continue on by explaining away Chance's absence and every other damn thing.  Then when he sees Mariah he so graciously tells her that even enlightened beings like himself have issues while reassuring her about hers.  As if he has any damn idea what the hell she's gone through.

Genoa City already has one unbearable "Ask the 8-Ball" and her name is Sharon.  Town does NOT need two.

Rey Rey, there's always room for one more so go right ahead and put another stick up your behind.  You're starting to dip into ButtBiscuit territory with your constant need to poke the hornet's nest.  Adam, don't play the victim, you've taunted him plenty over Sharon so him hating on you isn't out of left field.  But what a waste of time it was to watch yet another scene of the same old crap.

I was just waiting for Devon to unexpectedly pop in and over-explain things to them and make everything A okay.

Imagine him teaming up with Sharon to roam Genoa City, offering unasked for advice while frightened citizens run for cover, screaming in terror.

Faith and Moses have all the pizzazz (I used that word on purpose) of Betty and Bud from "Father Knows Best".  No worries about those two ever having sex.  The worse they'll ever get up to is smoking corn silk behind the barn.

Well, it's fall in Wisconsin. They can go to a corn maze, pumpkin and apple picking, smoke pot and throw dice with the kitchen crew behind Society, hug-n-kiss at the Phyllis and Deacon Memorial Dumpster

I understand why Moses has to make every meeting with Faith memorable; she's keeping a tally on her calendar of every auspicious coffee-drinking occasion and encounter. <eyeroll> Moses is doomed to disappoint Faith eventually.

It's too bad Moses can't just take Faith for a burger and a movie, maybe a hot cocoa afterward. Instead he has to hire a wild animal act, nosh on a mixed empanada plate from Society, ending with a hot air balloon ride crashing into Genoa City's mountain range.

It seems that the money on a recast Noah would have been better spent on hiring a new Chance.  Someone whose presence is actually needed right now.  Sadly, it would appear that the new concentration of this is going to be the possible tug-of-war between Mariah and Abby over the baby. Every time you think this story is ending the writers add another twist that no one is interested in..  I would rather watch Victor patronizingly say "Billy Boy" over and over again. 

The biggest and best storyline would be for Adam to find out that Summer slept with Billy. And to publish it.  But the fallout from that from The Family would be too much, I guess.  But imagine Phyllis if that were to get out.  Bet it would wipe the smug off of Lily's face and maybe take Adam off the hot seat of Worst Person in Genoa City. But wiping the smug off of Lily's face would be the best part.

And how about revisiting the hit-and-run....flashback to Nikki being the driver and her having blocked it because she was drinking.  

See?  It isn't all that difficult to come up with storylines that have a lot of "beats" and would impact just about everyone in the cast.

I think if Adam finds that out he also needs to learn that Phyllis has known about it almost since when it happened. And how she's kept it from Nick all this time. There'd be huge fallout for her too.  And as far as Lily is concerned, she already knows because Billy told her. She handled it okay but at the time I wondered if she's going to feel a way when/if Billy encounters a grown-up Mattie since his lovers' adult daughters are apparently fair game.

Honestly I don't see Adam publishing that bit of news because it would hurt his niece Summer unnecessarily. This is some Abbott vs Newman ish that should be handled inside the house instead of putting it in the street as it were. Also, I would want Adam to give Sally a heads up so she could specifically taunt Phyllis.  (IMO Adam needs to tell Sally about Jack's dead hooker on the living room floor too.)

I don’t think that CG is pregnant but TIIC want to make Mariah look she still has to loose weight from her pregnancy.  It’s easier to stuff a track suit than regular cloths. 
 

I get the feeling that TIIC aren’t sure what Bowie should look like to be PC. Dark skin, light dark skin, or light skin. Devon is mixed and Abby is white, so at best Bowie is only one quarter dark skinned.

Why did Rey Rey have to confront Atonal, when he could have dropped Con's hat at the Ranch, with no proprietary muscle flexing over Sharon? Rey Rey knows Sharon will never turn away from Atonal or say no to him; either get used to it or divorce the slapper. She never intends to betray anyone, and yet she'll sell everyone out for the fuck of Atonal Adam.

THIS!  Adam wouldn't be a problem to Rey's marriage if Sharon wasn't allowing it.  His conversations need to be to her. By continually harassing Adam, he's giving Adam power and and more space in his marriage.

My beef with Rey was his audacity to give Adam advice re the man's son to guilt/manipulate Adam into shifting his focus to Connor so that it's off Sharon. Dude, mind your business. You know darn well you wouldn't appreciate Adam telling you ANYTHING about your child.

I will side with Adam that he's allowed to say he's happy Mariah was found safe and sound.  You can't police the man's feelings or concerns for Sharon and her children. I'll also side with Mariah in dragging his ass, LOL, and reminding him exactly what she thinks of him and I totally got why she reacting to him the way she did. He knew better than to show up at Crimson Lights to sniff around Sharon so his getting bopped on the nose was deserved.

I think if Adam finds that out he also needs to learn that Phyllis has known about it almost since when it happened. And how she's kept it from Nick all this time. There'd be huge fallout for her too.  And as far as Lily is concerned, she already knows because Billy told her. She handled it okay but at the time I wondered if she's going to feel a way when/if Billy encounters a grown-up Mattie since his lovers' adult daughters are apparently fair game.

Honestly I don't see Adam publishing that bit of news because it would hurt his niece Summer unnecessarily. This is some Abbott vs Newman ish that should be handled inside the house instead of putting it in the street as it were.

This would actually be a big test for Adam in how would he handle what is basically a nuclear bomb that would hurt two of his biggest pains in the ass - Billy and Victoria- but also hurt people close to him - Victor, Jack, Nick - and hurt Nick's child, Summer, who while he has no use for, is Nick's kid and Faith's sister.  I agree that this would be internal family business so he wouldn't publish it but I think he might have a sit down with Billy and call for a truce or else he'll spill this secret to Victor and let the chips fall where they may. Billy may end up waking up in Myanmar in a prison again.

One can only imagine TGVN's reaction. I think he would have Billy Boy killed.

Or, even worse, tell Sally about KEEMO !!

I've been behind as I've been consumed with work and what little time I have for TV has been taken up by the very entertaining US Open Tennis.

But I have to say that my goodness, CH is just stunning and I think I would just about kill for her figure.

Chloe warning her off about Adam was rich, considering her own batshitcrazyness: “Whatever connection you think you have with Adam, it’s going to get a lot messier before it gets easier.”

Sally's thought bubble: 

Later, Adam looks very sorry to be getting a call from that cockblocker, Chelsea, instead of having a "working" dinner with Sally.

Yup, looks like a double package of summer sausage to me. This is just laughably bad. I mean, a baby doll would be bad, but I could live with it.

Her comment about "“No one is ever going to take you from me again!" was dafuq? Who took him from you? Poppin' Fresh? He wasn't even BORN yet. And Mariah is supposed to be the one off the deep end?

And when she piped up today about Mariah being "gone for three weeks." She was fucking kidnapped, you idiot!

And look, Grandma Ashley is posing with Hickory Farms, too.

Rey-Rey, I know this will make your slack jaw go even slacker but listen up:

Are they teasing Jack/Lauren again?

But it's better than Phack, right?

I know my heart was supposed to be warmed by Devon sharing photos of Hick with Lily.

But Lily had to open her trap and bring up Hilary and Devon's first son.

Both of whom she KILLED.

Ah, Adam joins Sally for dinner after all. 

Sally admires him for refusing to let the digs get to him and thinks there's a lot she can learn from him. Vice versa, I would say. 

She also spills some from her past (like the couture collection she did for Forrester Creations while faking a terminal illness - oh hi, Drinki). Adam doesn't even blink. 

Sally: "I tend to get in my own way." A look at him. "I have a feeling you can relate."

Adam: "You're not wrong.”

He remembers to ask about Sally's plan to design Victoria's latest wedding gown, which Victoria isn't worthy of your talents.

Sally is cute when she teases him about wanting to talk just enough shop to be able to say this was about business, not an actual date.

She gives him a look, then asks "Did you want to make someone jealous?" I don't think so. The only person that could possibly be is Sharon and I think that ship has sailed. For now. It seems like he agrees, although he does turn the tables and asks her about Jack.

Sally, mostly truthful, answers: "I haven't thought about him at all." And I believe her, for the most part. I think given Sally's abandonment issues, when someone abandons or rejects her, she's typically done. At least she wants to be.

I lost it when she coyly comments: ""I was too busy enjoying myself."

She's not the only one as he acknowledges the same. Uh huh.

Hey, I am kind of liking Adam and Sally. They fit.

I like them too and I like Sally a lot better now that Tararaboomdiay is no more. I like his shaggier haircut as well.
