When they take off Dombowies hat he'll be a towhead. Maybe they will go with the tired sick baby route where Devon won't be a match. Or just the custody hearing DNA test. Maybe Stich will 

TURN UP.

I wonder if the MWTs are scrambling at all at the realization that they have put a formerly dull but not really disliked character in a position where viewers are ACTIVELY rooting for him not to be the father of a baby he loves. 
There are fewer and fewer male characters that are tolerable on this show.

Victoria is such a jerk. I hope Adam comes out on top at some point? 
Phyllis, take the job. Nobody likes you and you add nothing to Genoa City.

Watching todays episode: 

What self-respecting businessman would put up with Daddy negotiating for him to work for his sister? The only realistic response would be “See you all at Christmas, I’m going to take a high level job in NYC (Chicago, Meeelan, wherever)”.  Adam has a high powered degree and experience, why in the world would he stick around for this? 

[Julyolo]

The shorter hair on Abby is a plus, but whatever toner they used makes her skin look Grapes of Wrath sallow. Meanwhile, how ridiculous a look is Victoria's obsession with besting her brother? She appears irrational, and it is not in keeping with the demeanor of a seasoned executive-so childish. Had to guffaw later, when she shared with Ashland that she'd shown Adam a preview of how awful working with her could be. I had the distinct feeling Ashland completely understood how wretched it is! Was that a chain draped across the front of Sharon's pleather pants? Did Devon comp her a ticket to a Sex Pistols cover band concert? Sharon says it's "unprofessional"  to talk with Rey about a convo she had with Abby during a social visit in Abby's home? Blurred boundaries, much?  I wish Adam would tell Victor and Victoria he's had enough of being the target of their head games. I know I am.

She always seems like a little girl playing dress-up. I can't help but picture her wearing mommy's shoes, a big floppy hat, long strands of fake pearls... and having tea with that other big executive, Lily.

That can't be any surprise to Ashland.  He already knows how awful it is to be married to her.

If Ashland is planning on blowing up Victoria's world, I wonder if he would approach Adam about joining forces.

"I'm the Newman in charge." Nah, Victoria, you're just the wannabe HBIC. Victor is running both you and Adam like the spoiled babies you are. 😐

If Faith is planning to go away to college she must not consider her relationship with Moses a long-term factor in her life. Maybe that's why she wants to leave the state: to get away from him, ha ha. 🥳 I don't get visiting a bunch a schools before you apply though. Seems to me she'd only visit the the ones who'd accepted her for admission. Must be nice to be a Newman and not have to worry about the cost of taking boondoggles all over the country.  She'll probably ask if she can borrow Grandpa Victor's jet.

WTAF is wrong with Victoria? The way she went at Adam was way over-the-top IMO. So absurdly childish and petty. I'm thinking the karma bus is revving up and heading her way. The only question is who'll be driving it, Ashland or Adam.

Abby might want to get a bra which provides better support. She's kind of young to have the girls trying to reach down to her waist. 😼

Sharon in leather pants and leather boots. Okay. She was seriously trying to work that "MILF about to become a GILF" look.

Hmmm, Ashland was schmoozing Nate hard. But what kind of sense does it make for Nate to take a corporate position outside of a medical environment? 🤔

Wow, Victor basically told Adam he could go eff himself. He must feel quite certain Adam will remain in his clutches despite the hurt feelings and Victoria's nastiness.

Chance, you sure you want to be so chummy with Chelsea? She is decidedly not a font of parenting wisdom wrt Johnny. You do know how Johnny was conceived, right? 😒

How old is Victoria supposed to be? She's married to a guy in his 60s; she dated Nate who's probably in his 30s; and, back in the day she was engaged to Nate's uncle Neil, who'd be in his 50s now. When it comes to Adam she acts like she's 12. She's all over the age map. 🙄

Not sure what Abby hoped to accomplish by talking to Sharon about Chance's psychological issues. Was she priming Sharon so she'll eventually help her get Chance put in the loony bin like Chelsea was?

Adam would do well to recognize Sally's not an objective advisor as far as Newman Media concerned. She's primarily looking after her own status in the fashion division, and will use him any way she can.

Rey is quite the blabbermouth. It didn't seem appropriate to me for him to be discussing his convo with Chance with Sharon, and then speculating on Chance's mental status. He's not qualified to make such an assessment, and Sharon can't break client confidentiality to confirm or deny his take on the Chance and Abby situation. Stuff it, Rey. 😠

[Waldo13]

I’m sorry that I’m going to be very crass but could Olive be anymore of a word that rhymes with punt.  Takes more joy in being a “punt” than anything. Her eyes turn a deeper blue and her face glows a lot more than when she having sex with Ashland. Once again Olive is dealing in half truths. Olive leaves out that Adam’s position was part of the negotiations and that Victor will be taking more active in the media division. 

Ashland Ashland Ashland, your miraculous recovery is almost as much 🐂💩 as Devon getting joint custody. Cancer treatment takes a lot longer than a few months. 

Chelsea has elevated herself to “punt” status.  Hey Chelsea, cutting Sally out of the videos would make them loose all continuity with out a narrator and or interviewer.  Talking about feeding an ego is quite rich coming from you Chelsea. 

I believe that’s impossible for Sharon to be truly happy for anyone of her children unless she’s in control of their lives. If I was Faith, I would definitely stay away from GCU knowing that your mom went there but still had to get her degree from a box of Crackerjacks.  Sharon saying how fast her little girl is growing up is the understatement of month. 

Where did Chance 2.0 get a fire and ice rose in the middle of a Wisconsin winter?  A rose in winter is just about as believable as what’s going on with Devon and Ashland.  Abby you should insist on Chance 2.0 going to therapy. There are quite a few support groups for what he’s suffering from.  

Once again Chance 2.0 is talking to Chelsea like they are bff’s. For all intensive purposes Chelsea is a stranger and Chance 2.0 didn’t want to talk to strangers.  Beside many things, Chelsea is a hypocrite. She didn’t think it was right to take Johnny away from Olive and Nostrils but it’s ok for Devon to take Bowie away from Abby.  Chelsea justifies Devon trying to be a dad to Bowie by her never trying to be a mom to Johnny.  That’s because Chelsea is selfish by nature and only does things to benefit herself. 

Wow Ashland is doing a lot of things that he’s not consulting Olive first. Olive is all up in arms but isn’t that what Victor is doing to Adam. Boy do I hope Adam gets wind of this and puts Olive in her place. 

Excuse me but wasn’t Devon suppose to return Bowie first thing in the morning. It seems like it’s afternoon now.  I guess this is how the elitist work. Where Devon should bring back Bowie himself, he has the nanny do it. 

Hey Rey, any good police department would have Chance 2.0 to go to a therapist to make sure he’s ok and clear him for police duty. In NYC this is absolutely required for police shootings and traumatic experience in the line of duty. 

Love her or hate her it’s very obvious to me that Sally is no dummy.  In fact, even without a degree, Sally is a much better therapist than Sharon.  Sally can’t read tea leaves to tell the future but she can be reading the spoilers from SoapsSheKnows foretelling the rift coming between Olive and Ashland.  Sally is no stranger to the power struggles and lived through them between Spectra/Forester Creations and Spectra/Spencer Publications. Sally is giving Adam great advice about staying at Newman Locke with working towards undermine Olive.  Victor mumbles and has to read his lines but he’s definitely no fool and plays his cards close to his vest. With Victor being very distrustful of Ashland, he might want Adam to be at Newman Locke to take control if necessary or assist Olive is ousting Ashland.  If Adam bails, than Victor goes to Plan B. 

[JNavarro]

It was weird, Chelsea seemed way more like a normal human being during her scene with Chance.

Too bad pretty much everything she said was stupid.

OT: I thought the same way. I told my daughter to wait until she was accepted to colleges before we visited them. My daughter was class of 2020, so you know how that went. She had to choose a college with no proper visits because of. . .

Topic: At first I did not mind the Devon story, but now I am just tired of it. It was stupid to accept his sperm when he hadn't fully grieved the loss of his wife and unborn child. And Victoria is just mindnumbingly stupid not to see Victor setting her up for something.

[Waldo13]

First of all if I offended anyone for saying two women were acting as a “punt”, I apologize. 
 

I still believe that Victor is setting up up  Ashland for a fall.  If Olive resists hers going to replace Olive with Adam. Ashland is about to feel the wrath of Victor now that he’s on the mend.  If there is one thing Victor loves more than his children is Newman Enterprises.  Victor thinks Newman/Locke is an abomination. Victor only tolerated the new name because he thought Ashland was dying. Now that Ashland thinks he got a new lease on life he’s mistaken because Victor is the grim reaper and he’s about to to use his scythe to cut Ashland off at the knees.  

Batten down the hatches Adam. There’s going to be a storm coming and you will pick up the pieces.

The Newman sisters appear to be experiencing wildly different relationship dynamics right now.  While Abby is on the receiving end of Chance's world-champion emotional jujitsu and half-heartedly acquiescing to situations she knows deep down are wrong, Victoria is constantly reminding Ashland that she wears the palazzo pants in the family.  Neither Abby nor Ashland are pushovers, so I expect the tides will be turning soon.

Thank God they picked up the pace today......finally!  Wonder if the show's sylists borrowed Sharon or Abby's extensions for Faith.

I never thought a show that was Newman-centered would be a breath of fresh air but it was. Even Nate and Elena didn’t bother me. I actually liked Nick; and he is not wrong about his family. I wonder if Victoria will bring Sally onboard? Despite what she said to Chloe and Chelsea.  Hopefully, karma will visit those two. I do wonder how Ashland plans to ruin The Newmans, especially Victoria. If the writers really want to get out of the never-ending baby storyline, this could be really interesting. So it probably won’t happen.

I don't even have that much faith in these MWTs. I'm actually expecting them to top themselves in dumb, infuriating and may I add sickening, with their next Newman storyline. They've already pitted Sally against the ugly stepsisters, too. And I don't think anyone wants to see any more of that. I think this storyline will continue to make all three women look bad and give us no one to root for. And it makes no sense that Grampire hasn't let Adam in on his plan, since they've been working together so well lately. And constantly showing Grampire sitting in front of a chessboard is really condescending story telling. Yes, MWT, we got it. We're not like Lily or Nick. Although I'm thinking maybe they should take it a few steps further and crazy glue all the chess pieces to the board, drill a hole in the board, attach it to a handsome gold chain and let Grampire wear it around his neck in every scene he's in, so we'll really get it.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Just when I thought Lauren had a new stylist who was helping her dress less like a high-priced escort, today she shows up looking like Little Hooker on the Prairie. Oy, some women might want to skip the puff sleeves even though they are fashionable right now.

Victoria, have you met Adam before? The guy injected Botox into his eyeballs to cause temporary blindness. Eating glass to avoid working for you would be like having a delicious crunchy snack for him. Shut up.

That was some kind of dress on Sally today. I don't think too many women could pull off such a dramatic look. And it must be fun driving in an outfit so tight you look like you've been shrink-wrapped into it.

Nate was complaining about all the administrative paperwork he has as chief of surgery but does he think there'd be less of that as a business executive at Newman/Locke?

University of Michigan, huh? I would not have predicted such a big school for Faith. Nick didn't seem too thrilled that Faith was looking to follow in Summer and Victoria's footsteps though. Well, at least she'll have guaranteed employment after college. Yay for nepotism!

Lol, Ashland standing there watching Victoria try to grow a d!ck so she could swing it at Adam. Fail, bish. 😼

Is EB okay? Today he looked like he could barely stand and walk without MTS' assistance.

Wonder how long it'll take for Adam to figure out that Victoria and Ashland don't always consult with each other before making business decisions? He could work their mutual undermining to his own advantage.

Chelsea and Chloe walked right into Victoria's office like they were on a leisurely stroll through the park. Good lord, I wouldn't want those two murderous nutbags rolling up on me even if I was a CEO.

Oddly, I agree with Victoria about Newman Fashion. It never made any sense to me that a media company would have a fashion line. I think it was only shoehorned in to accommodate Sally.

"To all things Newman." Hmmm, ya feeling a little left out there, Ashland? Victor is probably going to use Adam to drive you out of Newman/Locke.

Wow, Victoria was almost dismissive of Victor. I cannot with her. Did she forget who owns the company? Victor could squash her like a bug at any moment. 😑

Sally, you might want to make amends with Lauren, or get Adam to provide you some venture capital to start your own fashion house. You don't need Chelsea and Chloe holding you back.

If looks could kill, Ashland would be on the floor of Victoria's office bleeding out. The Ice Queen was practically steaming! Between her and Victor and Victor's henchman Michael, Ash's chickens might be coming home to roost. (Perhaps RB saw what was coming and decided to get out before his Y&R character got destroyed. Sigh.)

[rcc]

When it all hits the fan there will be a new Ashland to bear with it. RN was fantastic on Guiding Light and I think he will be up for it. Watching RB and his very handsome face as a lame duck actor is unnerving though.

[Waldo13]

Chloe Chloe Chloe what choice do you have or ever had that your fate is not in Adam’s hands?  Blood, sweat, and tears?  Really Chloe?  If you were worried about the Media platform even one iota, than you wouldn’t have Chelsea all up in Sally’s business. Chloe you are sacrificing a good chance to sore with eagles when you have a turkey as a bff.  I’m actually happy that Olive is disbanding the fashion plat form and sending Chloe and Chelsea packing. But if they think they can start from scratch, without Sally, they are completely delusional. As I said before, how did Chloe and Chelsea working together workout the first time. Didn’t Chloe put her trust in Chelsea back then and Chloe got screwed over by trusting Chloe. I’m only worried about Sally and Adam finding away to get Sally a position. 

Chloe and Chelsea are looking for investors but who will invest?  Lauren?? If she does than Lauren will be a sure in for GC’s Hall of Fame of Hypocrites.  Chelsea screwed over Lauren far far worse than Chloe/Sally ever did with the wedding dress and Sally with getting Summer a fantastic job so that Faith can call her a roll model.  

It must be spring in GC. The crocus are back in bloom and so are Lauren’s ample bosoms.  

Why is Ashland so dead against Adam coming to work with Newman/Locke. Is it because he wants one of his own cronies to head up the division or is it because it’s another Newman that could used to squash his takeover?  

The look on Olive’s face said it all when Adam said he was staying. That toothy grin was wiped off her face and she actually turned, what I thought was impossible, even more pail.  Adam you are my hero by sticking it to Olive. If nothing else, to be a thorn in someone’s side and be a constant reminder that you’re not a welcome sight, could be quite pleasurable. It always was for me with most of my wife’s family. 

Faith great roll models?  Victoria 🙄, Grandma, Summer 😂😂, her mom. Give me a break Faith. Victor is the only one that should be a roll model and you probably should include Adam because he’s the only one that has a college degree in business. I guess Faith also would like to be handed a cushy job after college.  For Faith U of Michigan is not a bad choice for a business school. It’s only about 40K a year and I’m sure her father can afford it. Besides Ann Arbor is not too far from GC where Moses can borrow Devon’s Jet to make weekend visits. 

Victor is an excellent marksman. Just ask Jack 😉. So when Victor has you in his sights, be aware be very aware!

I replayed the Sally scene several times, just to enjoy her telling Chelz what a loser she is.  

Gomez and Morticia beat Victor and Nikki hands down, and 

Victoria is nowhere near as sharp as Wednesday,

and nowhere near as beautiful.

Aw, I'm not sure I'd put the blame for that so much on Victor as on Abby. IIRC it was mainly a thing which happened under his watch but was driven by other people.

What's odd to me is that Victor's just now finding out Ashland may have faked his illness. Seems to me he would've had any impending SIL thoroughly vetted before he "allowed" the wedding to take place. It's too late to have Ashland arrested at the wedding, lol.

[boes]

What was up with that announement yesterday that Faith might pursue a degree in business?  Is this foreshadowing that she's planning to corner the market in gingham and purity rings?  She's not boring enough already?

I guess she's just aching to take a dip along with the rest of the Newman dunderheads in their Uncle Scrooge McDuck money pool.

Could this family BE any duller?

Abby's currently not exactly that, with her benighted baby and Bag of Hair of a husband, running her restaurant, and Nick is running a nonprofit for the benefit of poor people who need housing and a (possibly) sociopathic son in need of a job, but the rest of them can't think beyond getting even more money and torturing the little people for fun.  (Imagine working for Victoria - even the flying monkeys would be calling in sick.)

I'd love, one day, to see thought bubbles from the not-Newmans at one of their parties, inwardly groaning at this boring gang of bean counters.  Though, considering Genoa City's current population, the other guests wouldn't be much better.

Oh yeah, and Nate Natey Nate Nate Nate maybe ditching his Chief of Surgery suit for a Newman/Locke suit.  Doesn't that sound like an exciting storyline!  His complaining about how the job is so administrative - what did he think it was going to be?  Most Chiefs of Surgery still actually DO surgery while Natey seems to do little other than fudge with Elena's schedule and smile his

"Two, two, two mints in one" smile.

So disgusted by everyone embracing the Devon baby daddy story....Lily, Billy. I am praying at this point they find out Devon isn't Dominic's bio dad, and they cast Maury Povich to play the doctor that tells him. "Devon, you are NOT the father". Then  we could see if Devon is as magnanimous as Chance being a not biologically related dad, and bonus points if Dominic's bio dad is Stich, who petitions for visitation in jail.

"The moment we sign these papers it can't be undone." Uh, the previous papers you signed were undone, Abby, so I wouldn't be stressing out so much about it this time. Something unexpected might come along, again. Like DNA test results. 😉

Killer dress on Phyllis. I know it wasn't much different from the off-the-shoulder bodycon stuff she usually wears but I floved the deep color.

Christine left Society without getting whatever she had gone in there for before she ran into Devon and Amanda. Hope she wasn't hungry.

Why is Nick still sniffing around Phyllis? She continues to play him and Jack against each other. I'm tired of it even if he isn't.

HK's (Summer) sister Joey had an ad during today's episode for a new movie she's in that'll be streaming soon on Paramount+. It must be something to watch your younger sibling having more success in Hollywood than you've had. And your former employer putting it right in your face, lol. 🤠

Mariah, are you 100% sure Tessa's out of reach for Noah? Just sayin'.

Whee! Dominic said, "Get this stupid hat off me! What's wrong with you people? I'm sweating over here in these hats all the time!" You go, Dom. Maintain your swag. 😻

"One beautiful conundrum." Heh, I see you, MWTs, trying to get all fancy with it. AFAIC there's a much shorter "c" word which applies to Phyllis, but it can't be said on broadcast TV. 😏

Good grief, Phyllis, maybe reverse psychology and passive aggression is not the way you want go. Jack and Nick aren't taking the bait, hon.

Whoa, Noah was coming at Tessa in way I didn't expect. So it's her fault you've been creeping on her behind your sister's back? You're mad Tessa wasn't willing to keep your secret? Go sit down somewhere, player, before somebody tells you about yourself. 😠

Was the champagne Billy brought to Devon's even cold? Bleh on room temperature carbonated drinks, William. 🤢

I would've had respect for Noah if he'd gone over to Mariah and apologized. The way he left things makes me think he's not going to stop working on Tessa. IMO Tessa shouldn't keep talking to him about it unless Mariah is included in the conversation.

So Ashley knows about the Dominic situation. Does that mean Victor knows too? Wow. 🤔

Yes Devon it’s everything YOU WANT. What about your friend. It’s not everything she wants. On that note Abby gave into what Chance 2.0 wants.  Fuck them both but Chance 2.0 a little more so than Devon.  Are TIIC trying to confuse an old man?  The terms of the joint custody keep changing. Devon was saying it was one day per week and Abby in talking to Chance 2.0 is talking about missing Bowie for days.  Bowie took it upon himself to take off that stupid knit cap. No wonder Bowie is bald. They are making Bowie to be more associated with Devon than Chance 2.0 😜.  It’s never enough for Devon. Now he wants to invade Abby’s space at music class. What’s next?  Is Devon going to hang around Abby’s living room waiting for Bowie’s first word and his first steps?  I get the feeling that the joint custody stupid storyline will be a never ending story no how many people hate it. 

I can watch Mariah and Tessa interact all day 👩‍❤️‍👩. They are surrounded by 🌈🌈🦄🦄 until Noah walks in. Please please give that boy some laxative so he stops looking so constipated.  

Is there going to be two very unqualified people working in Milan?  What qualification does Rodan the Petty have to be working in marketing for a major fashion house?  

When was the last time Nostrils actually put in a full day at work.  Nostrils, I got news for you being a successful COO is not a part time job. But in actuality all executive jobs, in GC, are part time.  

Is this a day for lots of fuck you?  Now Noah needs one. So Tessa told Mariah that he still has feelings for her and he’s upset. I got news for you Noah, it’s called honesty in a relationship. Something your parents never taught you because that’s a foreign concept to them. 

 

I saw that trailer for Joey King’s new movie. Beside a more productive career, Joey is a better actress and prettier than her older sister. Joey was in movies with Liam Hemsworth, Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx and Brad Pitt. Not to shabby.

TPTB can force the whole cast to co-sign this mess if they want to it doesn't matter. It's still disturbing and wrong af, my heart actually sank watching Abby today. Stich can't be revealed to be the bio dad fast enough for me lol 

Today in general was especially cringeworthy given it had the two of my most hated couples onscreen. A little off topic but back in December I was gonna write a post about how annoying and uncomfortable it was to have the likes of Lily and Amanda (love or hate them) be wasted on and enable shitheads like Dickvon and Buttbiscuit, when they have better options in GC but I never got around to it because the writers kept shoving more ridiculous shit on screen and the idea went to the backburner. Plus, I thought it would be too hard(but not impossible) to make the case of them being able to do better when they are written like utter shit to promote the men in their lives. Well shitter than usual IMO. At least I still have sympathy for Abby regarding her dipstick husband, but he's just another unfortunate causality in the Dickvon gets whatever he wants sweepstakes. Do the writers actually think we like Dickvon more than Abby? In the past or present? That's never been the case for me. Or maybe Bryton James has something over the writers/producers because I'm out of reasons as to why this stupid SL had been allowed to snowball into something so heinous.      

Is Noah serious? Even if Tessa can't fully see though his disingenuous bullshit she has every right to tell her future wife about the fact that her own brother carries a torch for her. She doesn't have to sweep it under the rug to make life easier for him, fuck you Noah. And lol at him faking someone contacting him via phone. I doubt his creepy ass even has friends anymore. He could've played a notification sound, at least. He'd still be pathetic but he should show some true dedication to being a sociopath XD

Hello Gentle Readers,

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what it will take for Chance to wash his hair? It has been weeks and weeks.

Lol. I'm still giggling over this topic's title. I'll have to look more closely at it next time. All I can usually see is how close together his eyes are.

I FF the guy. Lol

Yes Devon it’s everything YOU WANT. What about your friend. It’s not everything she wants. On that note Abby gave into what Chance 2.0 wants.  Fuck them both but Chance 2.0 a little more so than Devon.  Are TIIC trying to confuse an old man?  The terms of the joint custody keep changing. Devon was saying it was one day per week and Abby in talking to Chance 2.0 is talking about missing Bowie for days.  Bowie took it upon himself to take off that stupid knit cap. No wonder Bowie is bald. They are making Bowie to be more associated with Devon than Chance 2.0 😜.  It’s never enough for Devon. Now he wants to invade Abby’s space at music class. What’s next?  Is Devon going to hang around Abby’s living room waiting for Bowie’s first word and his first steps?  I get the feeling that the joint custody stupid storyline will be a never ending story no how many people hate it. 

We are doomed to watch the community baby Dominic Many-Names and his many parents ad infinitum, ad nauseum.   IF we choose to watch - IF our health allows because I swear that today was NOT a good day for blood pressure control.  Not with Noah dumping his container-sized box of pain on Mariah and Tessa's happiness!  And not with Devon and his lawyer-girlfriend  celebrating the signing while a visibly unhappy Abby darn near broke her ineffectual husband's hand from the stress she was feeling.   I was going to give Amanda a bit of credit for being aware when she looked serious for a minute.  But, no, the ice-water returned her veins and she suggested that Devon "invade Abby's space at music classes."   The closing juxtaposed scenes at the penthouse and those of Abby at home were cringe-worthy too - that exuberant, smiling celebration with Devon, Amanda, Lily, champagne and Uncle Billy - and an anticipation of the (seemingly full) life Dom will lead with Devon. Flash to Abby at home - first with a non-supportive spouse and then sad and alone, talking to her mother on the phone about this being the hardest thing she has ever done - but it was the right thing to do.  Sigh, Abby, they all sold you a bill of goods - hubby included. 

If anyone is interested, today's custody story scenes were taped on Dec 17 according to a set photo of the four primary actors involved - all dressed in today's episode's wardrobe.  This has been an unpopular story all along, but am I right in saying that the worst fan blowback has happened since this taping date?   And would it be a stretch to think that the writers thought they were doing a good thing with this and that we would all be celebrating with Devon et al?

I don't think these MWTs give a rats ass what viewers think. They seem to be a bunch of sickos that need serious help. And TPTB don't care. I don't understand why this show is being made so awful now. Something is really wrong.

Monkeys With Typewriters

Intelligent human beings shouldn't be writing crap like this. But maybe those little monkeys that throw their shit around would come up with crap like this.

Briefly saw the dress Phyllis is wearing today. I want it. What world is this? 🤯

Yep. And then there's the b.s. where they have these millionaires and billionaires folding laundry and washing dishes. For some reason that really annoys me. I don't watch soaps to see ridiculously wealthy people trying to act like they're just like us poors. Grrr.

Back in the day all the soaps had a poor family. On Y&R it was the Foster (Jill) family. Now, mostly all the soaps characters are all rich looking and even if they aren’t rich they dress and act like rich people. There isn’t any balance. I’m not sure if TPTB think viewers aren’t into poor and just want glam?!

I'm not sure if it's the writing or a choice the actor is making, but Chance is behaving like someone who found a sucker to buy The Amityville Horror house.  He seems relieved.  I think I saw sparks coming off of the pen after he signed the papers.  How could nobody in that room see how broken-hearted Abby was?   The giddy after-party at Devon's was too much.  Billy being a part of it was even worse.  Maybe he should be supporting his niece and nephew, instead of just leaving Abby a message.

I wonder if Noah developed a drinking problem in London?  He's going to have to find a more discreet place to drown his sorrows than Society.

Snaporaz, was just coming here to post the same thing .... Chance seems ecstatic, like it’s a load off his mind and now he and Abby can have date night and do all sorts of fun things....wheee !!!!! He’s more animated than I have ever seen him while Abby sits there morose and sad and who can blame her...I was never a Stitch fan but I’m praying that he is the biological father.....

That party at Devon’s was gag worthy and I’m not sure which of the four I like the least....but it might just be Amanda who sits there simpering and is all thrilled to help him raise this child even though she was never consulted....not that I care

Oh my God how cute is that baby who plays Dom....I love his little sweater

Aw, I'm not sure I'd put the blame for that so much on Victor as on Abby. IIRC it was mainly a thing which happened under his watch but was driven by other people.

 

Oh no doubt Abby made the worse blunder.  I just think it's pretty lame, given the smoke he blows about what fierce insight he has, he couldn't see it through it.

I had to FF a lot today.  Devon forces himself as a co-parent on Abby, is celebrated by his ex con sister and her ventriloquist dummy manbaby BF.   The real kicker for me was Chance being excited for the kid to be out of the house, so they have time to shag and go on dates.  

ButtBiscuit still found a way throw snark at Jack, through all of it.  It's like the show is trying to be gross and infuriating lately.
