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

Quote

Billy SHOULD hate Victor forever and ever as well as stay frosty against Adam, but his actions in repeatedly targeting them have resulted in only misery for others caught in the crossfire with Billy taking zero responsibility for his actions and not suffering any consequences. He brushes off people's hurt with excuses and righteous justification and keeps rolling. He's just not rootable.

It would help if the actor portraying him wasn't a snotty weasely little goon.

[Julyolo]

Watching Sharon and Rey is like Botox meet Botox. Stick a wick in their heads, light them up, and use them as patio torches. The Billy/Lily ruination arc is still wide open IMO....prove they were hacked, story dropped without their vetting and let the charges on Newman Media rain on down. If Victoria, Nikki and Ashland fail to serve up the truth, they are complicit, if not co-conspirators

Dumb-zz Abby wanted  the baby so bad, now shes pawing  him off on everyone

When Abby was telling Ashley she realized she was unbalanced and couldn't care for Bowie, that's why she left him with Darvon, it was an excellent opportunity for Ashley to ask if Abby's mental state was so precarious, why would she believe her decision to give Bowie away was a wise one.

And why did Ashley and Victor (Bowie's legal guardians) leave Bowie with Darvon? Because tomorrow Abby would see sense and return him home? It appears in today's episode Victor doesn't know Abby has left home to get her melon straight.

Abby's off her pins but there are plenty of people who don't have any other agenda other than to care for the infant available to her. Darvon, and Mariah, both are invested in Bowie for all the wrong reasons; they both believe Bowie is more their child, not Abby and Chance's.

I imagine that Mariah is going to be resentful when she finds out Abby left Bowie with Darvon and his village of idiots.

Sharon acted like she’d taken 3-4 Zanax. And Rey took at least 2 himself. There’s something really wrong with Sharon Case.

Oh, so now Buttbiscuit is blaming Lily for this fiasco? You know Nostrils, it's poor craftsman that blames his tools.

Of all the “good citizens” of GC, Sharon should be one of the last persons to make any comments or facial expressions, of disgust, about Sally.  

“You’re an open book but all you’re pages are blank” 😂. Great line and great delivery by Sally 🥰. 

Beside Nostrils the Weasel stressing out over Adam, it also makes me happy when Rey the Chin also stresses out over Adam.  Adam meets with Jesse the Rat, in public, knowing that Rey the Chin is watching. So is Sharon loosing her charm because Rey the Chin would rather stare at Adam than Sharon’s cleavage?  Is Adam playing Rey the Chin also by getting him to look into Nostrils the Weasel blackmailing NM?  I don’t know if Adam knows about Rey the Chin’s conversation with Nostrils the Weasel about the blackmailing plan but if not it’s quite a coincidence. 

Rey the Chin is all upset about Adam’s past with Sharon but he seems to give Nostrils the Weasel a pass. Does Rey the Chin know about Nostrils the Weasel’s past history?  Does Rey the Chin know about the times Nostrils the Weasel slept with Sharon while she was married to Jack?  

Good old Nostrils the Weasel deflecting some of the blame on Lily. It’s Nostrils the Weasel to his core. Can someone say DD. 

I guess Mariah is the red headed step child to Victor and Nikki or at worse chopped liver.

LOL. ButtBiscuit with Lily makes me miss all of those "trips to Paris" she took with Cane. A night with ButtBiscuit is like a trip to (insert the name of the worst place on Earth here).

In a libel case I thought the burden of proof was on the accuser? Ashland can't prove Billy knew the letter was fake. Is Gaines going to lie about that too, and say he'd already told Billy before the article was published? Yeesh.

Adam is an open book but all the pages are blank. Target acquired, Sally. 😉

Good grief, it's like Adam and Victor have Gaines on a collar and leash. Sit, Gaines! Heel, Gaines! How many "one more thing" catches are there going to be?

I was quite distracted by Rey's hair color today. It is jet black even though he looks to be 40ish to me. There's not a wisp of gray. He must be using Billy's shoe polish regimen. 😼

What the heck was EB reading his lines off of during those scenes with Nikki? Were the cue cards on the floor? 😠

"Two bastards...two steps ahead..." Sounds like a line from a Neil Young song. Aw, the agony of defeat, Billy.

Future Defense Attorney: so, Mr. Gaines, were you lying when you said the Camilla Rhodes letter was real, or are you lying now when you say it's fake?
Gaines: yes.
The World: oh fer fecks sake! Kill us now!

Are we to believe Ashland never had the Camilla Rhodes letter authenticated, yet he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in blackmail for decades? Or had he never seen the original? Either way, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would've been so easily played. It doesn't add up to me.

Oh Adam. Stop acting like you're always the smartest person in the room. 🙄

After today's developments I expect Jill will dissolve ChancComm and absorb its employees back under Chancellor Industries. All except Billy and Lily, that is. I don't see her selling or giving it to the Newmans because the fact still remains that Adam killed her grandchild; she's not giving them any "prizes" that will end up in Adam's hands. I doubt Ashland will want it since he's got more important things to deal with right now. Victoria already dumped the media division so why would she take it back?

[Snaporaz]

Adam and Sally really work on all levels.  The characters make obvious sense as a pairing, and the actors have a natural chemistry.  Adam is usually such a stiff, but he seems so at ease with her. 

From the way Victor was talking, it sounds like there's going to be a custody battle between Victor and Devon when Abby doesn't come back from her walkabout right away.  And we thought this baby story couldn't get worse.

What was the "Reliquary" story line? I've seen it mentioned many times and for all I know, I may have seen it but I just don't know.

It was a very long and convoluted story that basically re-wrote Brad's whole history.  When Brad married Victoria, Victor hired Paul and JT to investigate Brad's past because he didn't trust him.  I think they found that Brad Carlton's yearbook picture didn't look a thing like Brad.  Isn't that true for most of us?  So Brad had to fess up, because things were looking very suspicious. 

It was kind of the same story Ashland has.  Brad's real name was George Kaplan (now I want to watch North by Northwest!), and his family were Roman Jews, and I think his mother Rebecca was in the Resistance (now I want to watch Casablanca!).  The real Brad Carlton was George's friend who was hiding him and his mother in his basement because they were being hunted by Nazis (now I want to watch Diary of Anne Frank!).  The real Brad was killed and George switched their IDs and became a Navy SEAL.  Rebecca was secretly involved in recovering artwork stolen by the Nazis.  This is how the reliquary comes into play. 

Bad guys come looking for it and think Brad knows where it is.  Somebody got kidnapped (Sharon, I think  in a case of mistaken identity?) Colleen started dating her art professor and he knows about the reliquary, so the two of them get in on the action.  Jana was working at the coffee house, and it turned out that she and her father were also looking for it.  Sabrina was not involved at all.  I don't even think she was on the show at the time.  I think the whole thing ended in Prague, with the reliquary being the final clue to where billions worth of stolen artwork was hidden.  It was a hot mess, but not as big of one as the Baby Chancellor Crew.  

Brad was pretty young when Jill first hired him as the Abbott's gardener, and he'd already been married once before then.  How he found the time to switch identities and do a stint in the Navy before he even made it to GC is an even bigger mystery than the reliquary.

[boes]

So ButtBiscuit's response to Lily's anger, to draw her into the blame is to say, "You told me to do what I had to!"  There's not a 10 year old anywhere who wouldn't recognize that for what it is.  "BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID" is the defense of every child when they know they messed up.  I don't feel very sorry for Lily, though.  All the warning signs were there of Billy's fuckupery being in full swing and she seemed to think she could do a little motherly scolding and then take him to bed Game of Thrones family style and all would be well.  She should have watched that show all the way to the end.

If she sticks with him then she deserves what she gets.

If it was anyone other than Rey Rey I might not feel this way, but isn't it an abuse of power for him to be shadowing Adam just because he doesn't like the guy?  I get not liking Adam, believe me, but Rey Rey is just begging for it.  Besides, he should be spending more time looking after Sharon who is obviously suffering badly from frozen face syndrome.

Lily should have told Jill No Way In Hell! to working with NotBilly from the start. 

Lily worked at Brash and Sassy when he depth charged Victoria's company by purchasing low quality/tainted materials under the excuse You told me to bring production expenses under budget! -- Told to Victoria when the poor quality products were discovered on customer shelves.

Lily was Ride or Die with Cain for years, then she killed Hillary 1.0/fetus, convicted of vehicular homicide and went to prison. Somewhere in that miasma, she was finally done with Cain and divorced him.

TIIC are writing Lily as a NotBilly's enabler, same as she was with Cain. Even with this corporate mess, she doesn't seem to be done with him ... yet.

Someone went overboard on the Botox and Restylane, and has reached the precipice of Uncanny Valley. SC's face is as rigid as a manikin's.

And I'm way over cocktail sequins for work and daywear.

Our corporate security officer worked for the NSA in a former life. And he observes everyone with a gimlet eye. Det. Rey Rey has every reason to speculate over AA's intentions and activities (an obvious threat, regardless of the pacific exterior Atonal projects) and NotBilly (inveterate liar, entrenched fuck up and yellow journalist pretending to publish The Truth as personal opinion).

Sharon’s puffy overdone face is only matched by Tracey Bergman’s!  Tracey has crease lines from the corners of her mouth leading to her ears she is pulled so tight!  And she was dressed in leopard print yesterday and to me she just looked cheap.

Tracey B is a beautiful woman at the core.  Between the hair and the clothes she always looks cheap. Her face is on a par with a lot of actresses on soaps (and elsewhere) who feel they need to have "work done" in order to keep their jobs.  Sadly, they are probably right.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Michael referred to Nick and Phyllis as his and Lauren's best friends. Say what now? Since when are Nick and Michael chummy?

Not sure I understand why someone would go to a Cuban fusion restaurant for a bagel. Or why they'd be dressed like a high-end escort unless they were hoping to pick up some extra work before the holidays. 😼

See Nick, that's the woman think you love, the one who couldn't hold back from talking sh*t about your family AGAIN. Maybe you should consider dating a middle schooler because that's the level of maturity you're getting anyway. 🤡

Don't turn your back when Mariah comes over, Devon. She might grab Tater and slip out the door. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets Tessa to lease an apartment in Devon's building so she can be close by in case Tater needs her.

I was amazed Jack wasn't upset to learn that Phyllis knew about Chance before he did. It's like he's p-whipped and he's not even getting the p. 🤔

So Michael and Lauren were at the coffeehouse pre-gaming a later breakfast meeting with Jack at Society. I sure hope they drive an electric car because IMO that's ridiculous.

Mariah, you're cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Of course Abby didn't want to leave her baby with you. Her baby. Hers. Not yours.

Ashley, you better get Victor to call somebody and put a freeze or something on Abby's passport. She's likely headed to España if she's not there already.

Devon sure was getting a lot of visitors at the penthouse today. Guess Tater is a popularity magnet. This time next week he'll be having playdates with the other swaddled bags of flour who live in the building. 👶👶👶👶

[Waldo13]

Can someone please tell me if this much airtime was given to Devon’s mourning of  Hillary or Neil?  All and all, I would rather watch Abby’s drama than Lauren giving Michael a tongue bath or Rodan the Petty and Banana Breath the Gorilla doing anything. 

Rodan the Petty goes to Society for a bagel?  Wouldn’t CL be closer to being a bagel “emporium “ than Society?  

I had to 😂 when I first saw the blanket draped over the side of Bowie’s crib. I thought it said Domino and not Dominic 😜. Well he’s a sweet little boy. 

Mariah, Abby’s middle name is irresponsible especially if she went to Spain to find Chance. It would be ironic if Abby gets herself killed in Spain and Chance is found alive 😦. 

The Rey the Chin has what is known as Wyatt Earp Syndrome which translates to being all cop 24/7/365 who constantly scans a room looking for suspicious  situations. He’s on edge, angry, and resentful.  In addition, Rey the Chin sees himself at a Macho Macho man who, IMHO, treats Sharon as a possession.

Michael and Lauren and Nick and Phyllis became best friends during the MAB years, when Summer and Fen were kids.  They were always hanging out together.  It seemed pretty odd for Michael and Nick to be close, considering Nick turned Michael and Victor into the Feds for their commercial bribery scheme against Jabot.

Has anyone told Lauren that her nephew got blowed up?  I thought that's why Jack was meeting her. 

When Moses was gushing about the baby's resemblance to his bio dad, my mind went right to, "His eyes...What have you done to his eyes?"  "He has his father's eyes!"

[boes]

Today's episode was so jam packed with amazing stuff that I don't even know where to begin.

So I guess I'll begin at the beginning.  Michael has a thing for cinnamon in his coffee drinks, now WHO knew THAT?

Lauren has leopard print winter wear!  Is it de rigueur to have coffee at the coffee shop before having breakfast at Society?  Does anyone ever have cheese for breakfast?   The pace of Show today just had me wondering.....

Mysteries were revealed today, things I didn't even know I'd been wondering about for years.  For instance, why does Nick eschew toast with his eggs BUT has waffles with his bacon?  Gluten free one day, gluten the next?  Who IS this guy??

Phyllis hates Nick's family.  I'd forgotten.  Happy Show reminded me.  I do wonder why they weren't stabbing each other with forks, though.  

Did you all see that Noah got a text and didn't tell Tessa what it was????  Oooooo, the mystery grows.  Will he next ignore an email?

Jack said Phyllis was amazing.  Phyllis said Jack was amazing.  Lauren said Michael was amazing.  Michael said Lauren was amazing.  Lauren said Phyllis wasn't exactly amazing and then Jack....BIT HIS LIP.  

What will people do with their time now that there's no reason to drop in at the Chancellor Mansion uninvited and/or unwanted?

Peculiar restaurant scenes, I'll admit. But you can't have Michael without Lauren to make sexxxy noises at each other and point out the obvious to Phyllis and Jack.

And no one is fooled that a crumb of carbs or animal by-products cross the lips of any of the actors without purging or strenuous exercise.

Mysteries were revealed today, things I didn't even know I'd been wondering about for years.  For instance, why does Nick eschew toast with his eggs BUT has waffles with his bacon?  Gluten free one day, gluten the next?  Who IS this guy??

The same guy who imagines himself the dented, put-upon ex-hero as Phyllis' camp follower and bed mate.

That he only chooses between two entrees from Society's breakfast menu demonstrates Nick is an unimaginative creature of habit. And that's not a surprise.

What was surprising was Phyllis warming up to give Nick a lashing because he's a bore, and she's she's been aware of that for years.

Quote

Phyllis hates Nick's family.  I'd forgotten.  Happy Show reminded me.  I do wonder why they weren't stabbing each other with forks, though.  

Phyllis deliberately broached the subject because she was spoiling for a fight, and she proceeded to tear him apart in public on a subject they have always disagreed.

What's the point of rehashing old battles with the two losers?

Quote

Noah's become a bore, deflecting discussions about London and how long he's staying in Genoa City. Fess up or block the caller you don't want to talk to ... And stop salivating over your step-sister's girlfriend.

Quote

Jack said Phyllis was amazing.  Phyllis said Jack was amazing.  Lauren said Michael was amazing.  Michael said Lauren was amazing.  Lauren said Phyllis wasn't exactly amazing and then Jack....BIT HIS LIP. 

If Jack says Phyllis is amazing, successful and without flaw often enough will it make it so?

What am I saying? Jack has been through this plenty of times with Phyllis, and she remains the same bigoted, self-absorbed, insecure, dishonest, vindictive succubus she's always been.

Jack's magical thinking is a powerful thing, and has lead him astray with his many love interests. And Jack remains a patsy to Phyllis' self-inflicted Woe Is Me! handkerchief wringing and dubious sexual charms.

At this point, Jack and Phyllis deserve to make each other miserable again.

Abby should serve saccharine-sweetened, malt liquor-infused drinks. No one will notice the food.

The mention of Lola took up too much time on Show, and it smells like a recast. Noah is in need of an available female, so why not a new Lola? It has to be better than Noah's failed flirtations with Tessa.

I think it was that Cane and Victoria had been kissing. For about 1.5 episodes the writers seemed to be trying to chem test Victoria and Cane. It came out of nowhere and disappeared quickly. I guess DG was holding out hope that CK would return and Cane and Lily would reunite, so he tanked the attempt to make Cane look attracted to Victoria.

CK seemingly was not having another round of Lily & Cane regardless, and even moved to another state so she could eventually say the commute to keep working at Y&R was too difficult. She quit, DG got dropped, and then, presto chango! CK came back. I don't know if CK pulled that move deliberately to get out of ever having to work with DG again, but if she did, golf claps to her.

In unrelated news, Wendy's is having a promotion where certain breakfast items are available for  only $1.00. Today I heard a spot on the radio for Wendy's "Buck Biscuits."

 Jack had some sharp edges! We need to see them! I’m sure PB is a lovely gentleman in real life, but that does not make for a good soap opera character.

I am a Jack/Phyllis fan but only when they are equals, with some fire, not if he is just going to moon over her.

Do you remember the days of "Aunt Jack"? It was a bad time and I don't want to go back to it.

Annnnd now we're back to Billy posturing, sniffing, making demands with Lily enabling his behavior.

I will give JT this, he did show moments of Billy realizing just how much he messed up and how dumb he was with fleeting facial expressions.

But then Billy would lie and say that the recording and video that Rey was taking was out of context.

They were not out of context. You tried to blackmail them Billy. Doesn't matter if they were playing you, your actions are your own.

That they didn't see a lawsuit from Ashland coming shows they have no business being in any kind of business. They are just too slow on the uptake.

And then Lily trying to take the focus off of their crimes to tell Rey to look at the 'Big Picture' when their actions contribute to the big picture. You bought into Gaines' lies, wrote the article, and tried to use that article to blackmail NewmanMedia. You gave NM the opening and committed your own crime of blackmail. I'm glad Rey told Sharon that he knew enough that Billy wasn't completely innocent in this whole thing either.  I just wish Billy and Lily would stop with the blame shifting and posturing.

Also, Lily? You really asked Ashland what did you and Billy ever do to him? Billy was harassing him all over town and working to expose him to the point of crashing his wedding with Gaines to expose him. That you didn't do worse damage at the wedding isn't a testament to your innocence.  You suck just as much as Billy does in your crusade. And just because Ashland IS a criminal, doesn't mean that your intent was pure- Billy wanted to blow him up purely to assert dominance over Victoria.  Now you're reaping the consequence of your actions.

Billy going to Adam and then Victor to tell them his terms of surrender was rich. Billy you were the one who took actual action against them first. You let yourself get played.

Lily was never on probation or conditional release, right?  Could any new charges send her back to prison? Now that would be some high stakes that would amp things up.

I know what Victor and Adam and Ashland did was illegal, but I do not want Billy and Lily to be vindicated.  I need a judge to wag a finger at them too and they suffer some setbacks for the role they played in this. But something tells me it'll be Adam left holding the bag for the Newmans while Victor and Ashland skates.

Nothing fills me with more glee than to see Buttbiscuit gnashing his teeth, rending his garments and wailing. I never want it to stop.

I don’t, I’ve dipped in and out with this show over the past 5 decades, but I shudder at the sound of it.  Was it even worse than now?  Jeez that sniffling over Chance yesterday.. old Jack would have hired people to help Abby find definitive proof!

Action action I want action.

Billy Miller. It was back during Sharon's my-polar episodes. She was screwing Jack, Nick and Billy. It was a very weird time but there was a whole WTD story line and it was just as stupid as you can imagine.

Didn't Sharin and RealBilly just do it once at the GCAC while he was drunk on the night before he was supposed to marry someone?

Yep. He was supposed to marry Chloe.

Bowie must be a genius. Only a few months old and he’s able to express happiness about his environment 🙄. Bowie is definitely a few weeks ahead of most babies. 

If Abby was a slightly better actress, I would be able to muster up a little more sympathy for her. Abby’s remorse is quite forced and plastic.  I didn’t know that Chance was awarded the Medal of Honor for his involvement in the Iraq war.  That was the medal Abby was holding.  Its possible that Majorca is where Chance is holding up with his friends but its 250 miles from Valencia and you need a ferry to get there. Wouldn’t it have been more prudent to go to the US embassy but the TIIC doesn’t do anything prudent. OK, I have a dumb question.  If Chance was there, why would she have to return Abby’s call from outside?  Also she mentions because so he wouldn’t know he’s here. Is that Chance or someone else?  I smell a set up with Abby being held for ransom. 

If I remember correctly, only Nostrils the Weasel’s email was hacked. The reporter was the one to actually post the story online.  Is Rey the Chin that thick headed?  Yes, but I go on. Rey the Chin didn’t actually need the recording because he had already warned Nostrils the Weasel about blackmailing NM.  Yes, Rey the Chin, hacking is a federal crime. The only thing you can do is report it to the FBI. Of course Nostrils the Weasel wants to handle it in house but it would be a lot better if the FBI handled it unless Nostrils the Weasel has something else to hide. Maybe like he wasn’t hacked at all and he’s covering his ass with Lily. 

Nostrils the Weasel stepping down from ChanceCom doesn’t mean shit. ChanceCom is still in business and it doesn’t mean that you can’t work with Lily on the sly.

Is it me or does Ashland look too spry and spiffy for a man who just went through a new cancer treatment.  Wouldn’t he still be in Peru being monitored?  

On a happy note, Nikki looks really nice in cobalt blue.  It brings out her blue eyes.

Am I mistaken or has Sharon had some “enhancement” surgery? The low cut tops look suspicious to me.

[Runningwild]

Am I the only one that has a hard time listening to Sharon’s nasally voice?

Aunt Jack was horrible. Always on the verge of tears if they weren’t already streaming down his face. 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Looks like Abby checked into the No-Tel Motel. Hope she paid cash. 🙄

Whoo, it hurt Billy in his soul to publish that retraction. I'm betting though that he does still have the Gaines video he told Lily (and Ashland) that he'd deleted. There's probably a copy sitting in the cloud and he knows it. But will he want to risk his relationship with Lily by having to reveal that he lied to her, even if it saves their professional hides?

Adam wasn't wearing all black for a change. Hmm.

Adam also recorded Lily when she went to Adam's office to confont him. Wonder why he didn't turn that over to Rey?

Consider yourself warned, Devon. Nikki was wearing her Chignon of Seriousness during her little sit-down with you. If she suggested you use her as a backup resource in the care of Tater, what she meant was you better be prepared to hand the kid over upon demand. 🤨

Pshht, the ChancComm system wasn't hacked by the Newmans. Cash money on the table, I bet the reporter who wrote the story gave them her login credentials in exchange for a pile of moolah.

Sharon wasn't dressed like the cover of a disco ball for a change. Hmm.

Ehh, I think when people in Spain answer the phone they say, "¿Dígame?" Whatever, when Abby jets over to Sóller to get Chance maybe she can also pick up a nice string of Mallorcan pearls.

Listen to Sharon, Rey. You're being used to do Newman dirty work against ChancComm. Don't be a dupe.

What kind of front door does Devon's penthouse have that envelopes can be slipped under it? That doesn't seem very secure to me. 🤔

Victor, Billy Boy is bluffing the fcuk out of you. And for once I am here for it. You Newmans are too smug in your evil. AFAIC, y'all are overdue for a loss. (Jill may be a wild card though. Oy.)

[TobinAlbers]

Oh, I forgot what really got me today with Billy- this dude was dodging Victoria's calls when the article broke as he was busy doing 'damage control' but when Lily puts it into his head that Victoria may be aware of what Adam and Victor are doing, this piece of poop has the gall to call Victoria and ask her to tell him what Ashland's motivation is with the lawsuit and if she knew what Adam/Victor were doing.

Are you kidding me?!

Victoria doesn't owe you poop!

Her husband is suing your asses. That's where his head is at.

She told you he was playing a dangerous game screwing around with her, Ashland, and Newman Media. Whether she knew the details or not, you were warned and you still didn't back off.

That's on you. Not anyone else.

Of all the “good citizens” of GC, Sharon should be one of the last persons to make any comments or facial expressions, of disgust, about Sally.  

“You’re an open book but all you’re pages are blank” 😂. Great line and great delivery by Sally 🥰. 

Can Sharon even make a "look of disgust" anymore?  With a face full of Botox, all she seems to be able to do is open her eyes wider and purse & un-purse her lips.

Abby's lower lip looks like she got punched - that's a lot of puffer
