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

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.  

You hit on the two worst things for me in today's show.

ButtBiscuit actually had the gall to blame Jack for referencing him having the affair with Phyllis when Jack did no such thing.  And what the fuck if he had??  Then he also manages to make it sound like he was just some hapless naif in the hands of big, bad ol' Phyllis when that diseased snotwazzle actually mocked Jack when he was sleeping with Phyllis, actually blamed him for not being man enough.  

Then he shows up at Devon's with two of Walmart's best sparkling urine with his usual utter lack of caring for anyone other than himself.  He doesn't actually care that Devon got partial custody, he just doesn't want anything to interfere with him shagging Lily.  Whataguy, what a guy.

I thought that Lily and Abby were great buds - at least they were a while back.  Now she's not only on board with Devon's pet project, she's got the time for some decorating tips.  As the for the baby book, Devon is a donor, not a dad.  All he's entitled to is a stool sample from the kid.

As for the signing ceremony, the worst was Bag of Hair practically jumping up and down on the furniture while pressuring Abby into making him feel good about her feeling bad.  Devon thanking them for making his dreams come true was a moment of such passive aggressive bullshit, Uriah Heep would have stood up and called him "son".

Show can also miss me with all this "Neil would have" crap.  They don't have a clue what Neil would have done or said, he's just a convenient rubber stamp for them to use when they're not quite sure they haven't just been utter shits.  Besides, Neil wasn't some saint.  While he was mostly a good guy, he slept with his brother's wife and we all remember his "I bought a boathouse!" storyline.  Get your imprimatur somewhere else, losers.

I still think Noah fled London one step ahead of the homicide squad.   That boy just ain't right.

My face when Darvon picked up Domino…

 

I’m just counting down the days until Abby finally speaks up and tells Bag Of Hair (I’m stealing that now) to sit down and shut up and Darvon to take his hands off of her child and get his narrow behind the hell out of her house.

NotBilly is the most vile character on this show by a mile. He has literally zero redeeming qualities. And it doesn’t help that I absolutely detest that actor. Billy did terrible things while BM was playing him, but I always enjoyed the actor. This version is a double whammy. I never even disliked MS this much.

 

[Chatty Cake]

Why didn’t Abby fight for her baby? Giving in to Douchevon is so dumb. Then Chance saying “oh we’ll have date night when Douchey has Dominic” was a slap in the face. Like a night out at Society followed by a coffee at Crimson Lights is going to make up for her giving away her child. 
Then everyone swooning over Douchevon for breaking his word to Abby was sick.

My face at o'dark thirty when the first photo I see here is the face of the guy who ruined the Jurassic Park franchise:

Enjoy being the internet's least favorite Chris, douchebag. (He's problematic on several fronts but I'll leave that to the googles.)

I tend to agree that Neil probably would not have been down with the Dominic thing, from the very beginning when Devon volunteered to be the sperm donor. This is a poor way to honor Neil's memory, IMO.

[Julyolo]

Victor and that bristle on his chin...ugh, he looks like a skidrow bum. The wondrous "luck" Ashland is reveling in has heretofore been grifted from the misfortune of others. Maybe he could add a executive mentoring/coaching service to Newman-Locke, and call it "Seizing Your Opportunities".

 

[TVForever]

Didn't Chelsea actually steal money from Lauren? And that, Lauren can forgive, while Sally is persona non grata forever for ... what again?

By the way, whatever happens with Adam and Sally, I'm proud of him for swooping into Society, recognizing the mean girl pit that Sally was stuck in with the Witches of Genoa, and taking her away with his arm and a smile. Leaving the mean girls with open jaws was a bonus!

Question:  Why on earth does Abby think that giving Devon shared custody is “the right thing to do”….?!  She keeps repeating that and every single time I say out loud “WHY”…..

[peacheslatour]

If Phyllis is really going to Meeeelahn, I wish she'd take Geppetto's Folly with her. I'm sure the Eyetalians would love Buttbiscuit in a very unique way.

 

[Ladybugnine]

And, here's how show will explain CLB's upcoming abscence from the show -- send him to Peru!

[TobinAlbers]

Today Adam was my hero. He seemed a bit more focused and lighter after coming to a decision on his place at NM and was in a much more playful and focused mode on Sally. MG was turning the heat and intensity up towards her today like he was having Adam realize Sally's been kind and loyal to him and he's been falling down on the job and needs to start making up to her. That he reassured her that she was handling her business just fine on her own was great.  That he offered to hang with her at Society without her even asking to tag along was great. That he offered her a job without her asking and she was sincerely moved and so happy that she threw herself in his arms in gratitude was all just great. I love the slow burn between them but we now seem to finally be getting a new start for them with the baggage of Chelsea and Chloe dropped by the curb.

Going back to earlier this week for Adam, MG did a fabulous job showing the anger, frustration, and despair that Adam was feeling as he bumped along from work to the coffee house where he got both a Nick and Billy run in to Victor and finally Sally where she was a more objective sounding board to his finally coming to terms with the situation and choosing a path.  The man swallowed his pride and every instinct to lash out, tell them off, and plot his revenge and instead bit his tongue, hid behind the snark and accepted the deal before him to Victor's satisfaction and Victoria's anger. Nikki was annoyed that Adam didn't leave but Ashland was PISSED because he knows he can pull the wool over Victoria's eyes but Adam is another thing altogether for whatever he's up to. At the end of the episode when Adam went back to the office where he could finally drop the mask and you could see how tired and physically defeated he was and instead of sitting in HIS chair he leans against another chair to look at the chair that was once his, I FELT that.

Adam's been working towards redemption for about a year now but THIS moment was when I feel it truly began. Adam could've thrown the offer back in his family's face, ranted and raved, but THIS Adam was trying to understand what was going on and why this was happening and even when he didn't get the answers he wanted, he didn't go off on anyone or plot revenge. I think this Adam was keeping in mind that while no one else felt he accomplished anything in his personal journey something in him doesn't want to go back down that dark path and it's the good that his mother, Sharon, and Chelsea once upon a time saw in him that's gaining leverage against his darker impulses.  Adam chose going the high road for himself and not giving up on his relationship with Victor. In one sense he's learning the lesson Nick learned that Victor is gonna Victor - you can either let it drive you crazy or just accept he's gonna be that kind of asshole and let it go and do your own thing. Not that Adam can't be ruthless or cutting but he'll lean away from wanting to blow up his family or set them up. In fact I think that whatever is gonna go down with Ashland, Adam may play like a turncoat but ultimately show he's Team Newman and rally around family. Once the outside threat is over he'll then tell Victoria and Victor they can have NE, he'll take his little piece of NM with full control thank you very much and be on his way - with Sally by his side. At least that's my hope for him if the writers don't bungle it.

Soooo when is Billy gonna find out Adam is gonna be running the merged NM/CC?  I want to set my DVR and pop some popcorn to see his face crack spectacularly. Happy go lucky Billy will be a thing of the past and Lily won't have time for his drama.

I get Abby should've said thanks but no thanks to Devon's offer and she's now paying spectacularly for it now and also I still hold a grudge against her for all her crap against Tucker but damn if I didn't feel for her at that signing where NO ONE was paying her any mind. Chance finally got a clue at the end when he saw her holding onto his hands for dear life but Amanda and Devon were just baffling insensitive in their conduct with Amanda suggesting Devon tag along with Abby and Dominick on what is their time together at his music class. This is why when people online were saying Abby should get over it since Devon just wanted one night a week. He doesn't want just one night and now we're seeing it.  He's slowly but surely infiltrating their lives, questioning Abby's choices (Why isn't Dominick in music class?), and being willfully blind to her obvious discomfort. Saying 'Thank you' to them isn't making you stealing their son away any easier, Devon.  

Back to Billy - this dude doesn't give a rats ass about his blood kin at all. Abby is his niece and Chance his nephew and he's off celebrating Devon stealing their child with him and Lily?  I'd say someone needs to tell his ass off but Billy doesn't care about any of them or their opinions to give a crap. And all he'd do is deflect and get defensive to where he'd make himself out to be the victim. How Lily sees him as some prize and why Victoria carries a torch for him to the point of protecting him, I don't know.

Can we get to Noah having a drunken night with a drunk Chelsea already? Or Sally? Or Imani? Anything to get him out of the Teriah mess?

 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Victor should be the last one getting snarky about miraculous recoveries from health crises. How about that time Collen's heart happened to become available when his own ticker was just about tuckered out? Go back to sleep, you cranky old coot. 😑

Wasn't Michael just telling Lauren earlier in the day how he was bound by client/attorney privilege not to discuss the Ashland matter with her? Guess those rules don't apply after lunch, huh, Mikey?

Chelsea and Chloe packing up boxes in high heels and their "good clothes." Seriously? Meanwhile, I forgot Chloe is Connor's godmother. Poor kid is screwed going and coming.

Sally, I'm with Chelsea on one point: enough with the bragging about designing Victoria's wedding dress. You can't dine out on that forever unless you want to make yourself look like a pathetic one-hit wonder. 😐

Victor appears so slovenly, like he just rolled out of a gutter after a weekend bender. I guess a retired billionaire can enjoy a certain degree of IDGAF with his appearance but this look lately is next level ugh IMO. What's that all about?

Has Nate ever actually looked at Ashland's medical records? Or, has he been relying on what he's been told by Ashland and on seeing Ashland act sickly? Today it seemed like Ashland was deliberately shaping and reinforcing his overall illness and recovery story with Nate, like he was preparing Nate to testify on his behalf. 🤔

Nate, your suspicion of the way Ashland is buttering you up is on target. Stick with it. Ashland is working you way too hard for his intentions to be pure.

Shut up, Lauren. You act like Sally literally stabbed you in the back and then proceeded to chew on your body like a zombie. You've pulled plenty of bad girl ish in your lifetime, and you didn't even have to because you were born clutching a silver spoon. FOH. 🙄

Was Ashland's doctor visit off-camera or did he straight up lie to Victoria about where he went? I guess if push came to shove he could claim his meeting with Nate was the appointment. Hmmm.

OH COME ON! Stevie Wonder could see it: Ashland created a phony treatment clinic in South America because he was never ill and thought Peru was too far away for anyone to bother looking into it. Which might've worked 50 years ago but not so much now in the information age. Victor and Michael puzzling over the plot was silly to me. 😒

Be funny if Victor's old pal Marco is alive and in cahoots with Ashland. Jack would have to decide which enemy of which enemy is his friend, lol.

[Waldo13]

What the hell?  Ashland can’t be at the merger meeting because Ashland has an appointment to monitor his cancer treatment?  Since when a meeting with Natey Nate Nate is monitoring his cancer treatment?  Is Olive using this as an excuse because she does really want him there?  Olive could have postponed the meeting.  Natey Nate Nate you have never seen the data so as a doctor aren’t you curios to see Ashland’s document reports instead of just taking Ashland’s word.  Wouldn’t you think that Natey Nate Nate would realize that Ashland looks too good to still be on chemo treatments and if he’s not that the treatment protocol would be over in months?  You would also think that Natey Nate Nate would say something about Ashland drinking alcohol in the middle of the day unless Ashland is really drinking apple juice. On that matter, why is Natey Nate Nate drinking in the afternoon and went back to the hospital?  Even as a paper pusher, Natey Nate Nate might have to make deadly decisions. 

Michael, the question is not that Ashland is lying about the spread of the cancer it’s whether he had cancer at all.  

Chloe Chloe Chloe wash your mouth our with soap because you used brilliant and bad ass to describe Chelsea. Like Summer, if Chelsea ever had a brilliant thought, it would die of loneliness.  Again with Chloe talking about reinventing herself just made me laugh because, once again, I pictured Sally throwing shade on Chelsea. “Chelsea 22 😂😂.  Chloe telling Chelsea that she would always love her and support her is like Captain Smith loving the Titanic. How did that workout for him?  That flashback of Chelsea and Chloe just exemplified the need for Chelsea to get her extension back. 

You can tell that Lauren and Rodan the Petty are really good friends. They are both dumb as a rock, both can’t see the forest for the trees, both are very self centered, both are vindictive, and bother are petty  

Lauren Lauren Lauren has your hair die seeped into your brain.  Do you have a brain fog?  It was so so predictable that Lauren will bring back Medusa and Circe to Fenmores. That table of Lauren, Chelsea, and Chloe had to be fumigated because after Adam’s announcement, of Sally, working for him, they looked like they all 💩 themselves.  After the gruesome twosome blow up Fenmores, Lauren will welcome a stroll by Rexx Ruggs. But like everything else, in GC, TIIC will make Medusa and Circe a big success. 

I have two burning questions. Why is Victor sending Michael to Peru and not one or two of his investors?  They would be a lot more intimidating than Michael. 

I’m also wondering given Olive’s ego, do you really think that Olive would be happy to share any power with Ashland?

I'm done with this show. I just can't anymore! The ASSinine story with Devon and custody just pisses me off!! It's ridiculous!! He has no parental rights to Dom! Dumbass!...ok...I apologize. I will just be coming here for updates! LOL!...

I was taking a break when the baby/sperm donation thing happened, so is it possible that Dom could be what's his name's baby (the guy people used to call the Pillsbury Doughboy) instead of Devon's baby, or would that require a lot of hand waving/retconning, etc.?

It could be his.  Stitch,

aka Poppin' Fresh!, is a doctor, and he did all this, confusingly explained as it was, because his life had fallen apart due to his psychotic son.  His son was the reason his and Abby's marriage fell apart after he made Abby trip and lose their baby and kidnapping pregnant Mariah was some sort of way to make it up to her.  None of it made sense exactly, but their definitely could have been a switch in the samples.

I don't care for Stitch, never really did, but at this point, I'd welcome him back like he was 200 pounds of home cured beef steak.

[Chatty Cake]

Of course Victor is so astute that he’s been suspicious of Ashland all along Shut up Victor! The only good thing is that it means Victoria is dumb, naive and gullible despite all her posturing. There’s no way this idiot can best Adam in the long run. Speaking of, hello deliciousness! Loved him escorting Sally in front of Thelma and Louise.

Yes. This time seemed to be a little different though because we saw him tell her he was going to a doctor appointment and then we saw him somewhere else for quite a while. A place where Victoria could've easily walked in and seen him. I don't recall his ever lying so blatantly when he could be caught out, and in public too. Seemed like a higher level of risk to me.

Ew, I don't know if I'd want Stitch back that bad. At that rate I might as well wash it down with this:

But seriously, isn't Stitch wanted for kidnapping Mariah? I don't know how he'll come back and claim Dominic if he's likely to get arrested. What'll happen to his son, little Damien Jr. (Max) if he gets sent to prison?

I wonder if Society carries that soda?

I'd only want him back to throw a wrench into the Baby Rabies storyline.   But if Show decided to keep him on, I'm sure the court could sentence him to Latte Therapy with Sharon and then he could join Chelz on the Welcome Back tour. 

He'd be running his own design studio with buy-in from Lauren by the end of the month.

[Gam2]

Of all of the dresses on the planet to choose from, these are the ones the wardrobe people choose for Mariah and Tessa? Really? They were unflattering, illfitting and in Tessa’s case, a terrible color. Geez Louise. At least try, people

[Julyolo]

Uhmmm...that blonde streak on Abby looks like Madeline Kahn's post sex hairdo in Young Frankenstein. Amanda keep on enthusing about Dominic, a child she has zero legal status with (actually less than Chance-who is married to the biological mother)as a live-in girlfriend. Tone deaf Devon worried how Abby and Chance might react at MARIAH'S engagement party. Guess he's forgotten Mariah surrogate muled "Bowie"  (baby of 1000 names) thru an abduction, and had a few maternal separation issues of her own. Were Devon and Amanda actually side-eyeing Abby and Chance? Such hypocrites. I detest this whole custody story arc. Hope that next week's blood tests' results put an end to this misery. Please.

[SweePea59]

Wow, Abby sure has font-tastic handwriting.

If little Dom Deluise dies, will Hilmanda convince Dickvon to sue Abby? But not sue Bag O'Hair. He has no fucks to give about the little critter.

Dom Deluise being sick and needing blood tests next week looks like the perfect opening for him to turn out to be Stench's bio-brat. But they don't necessarily need to bring Stench back for the storyline. They can say, we don't know where he went, we can't reach him, and no one must know that Stench is the real sperm donor.

[SiouxB]

Gam2....

I agree 200% with everything you’ve said...Both of those colors were horrendous and yes the styles were awful and even Tessa who has a banging body couldn’t pull off this drab unshapely number ...and don’t even get me started on how tight that  dress was on Mariah

I thought the entire party was awkward and each guest brought something else to add to the awkwardness... and oh my God I cannot believe how awful Sharon looked between her barely moving face and that straw like hair ...she looked so horrible and believe it or not I thought the nicest looking one there was Faith .....but even she simpered a little too much for my liking....what a terrible party....not one natural, pleasant thing about it

Devon and Amanda seem to be still out to undermine Abby watching every move/word.  I won’t include Chance as he is doing his own undermine in of Abby!  

Yep, here comes the bloodwork as promised.  Don is probably had a disease passed onto him from his father..  it will turn out to be NOT Devon so there goes his joint custody!  YAY can’t wait!

I don't know if brain tumors are hereditary  but if baby Dom starts putting trip wires on staircases, we may find out.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Why would they have the engagement party at the coffeehouse? I thought it looked like a drunken party planner tossed up all their overstocked items and let everything land wherever it may. Chaos.

Noah, 🎶every party needs a pooper, that's why we invited you. Party poo-per!🎶

I'm liking Abby's darker hair color. It's less harsh than the platinum shade she used to wear. Not so sure about the fillers in her shiny cheeks though.

Do musical artists still put out vinyl LPs or were those just really big CDs? 😉

Well I guess I'm gonna be that person and wonder if MiMo has another baby on board. Today was the second time I've noticed a bump in Amanda's abdomen area that she seemed a little self-conscious about. Congrats to her if she is.

They really are making a big deal about Faith majoring in business at college. It's almost like her family is lowkey threatened by it, as if she's going to show them up or something. IIRC, Nick has a business degree but it's only from GCU, certainly not a powerhouse like UMich. Adam has a Harvard MBA and it hasn't helped him much in matters Newman at all. <shrugs>

Just what GCPD needs, a returning detective who's suffering from PTSD and using the job to avoid therapy. What could possibly go wrong? 😐

FFS, Noah, go get on a dating app. You are so annoying when you're attempting to drown your emo in booze. Tessa is spoken for. Deal with it. 🤨

Oh no, wee Dominic is sick. Here comes the shocking February sweeps drama! That everyone sees coming down Broadway like the Snoopy ballon on Thanksgiving. 🙄

I thought Tessa's song was alright but AFAIC they can ease up on playing it. Let's not turn this into another Rock On situation.

Re the previews: Devon, if you see Maury Povich pulling up to the Chancellor Mansion with a big envelope in his hand, you might want to take a seat. 😏

Ah, the obligatory sick baby story that will put skid marks in Devon’s shorts. Either that or he passed on Sickle Cell to the kid.  Still wanna be a daddy to a sick child, Devon?

Maybe for the first time ever that I agree with Banana Breath the Pompous. Tessa’s album is on Vinyl “the way god intended it”. It’s debatable but Vinyl has a richer warmer tone. Too bad Devon will be the only one to be able to listen to the album for as far as I know, he’s the only one that has a turntable.  As an aside, with a vinyl recording, the grooves are actually pressed into the vinyl which gives the recording the more richer warmer tone.  

You know how much I love Mariah and Tessa but I can’t say anything nice about their dresses. The dresses look like they were bought off Fenmores bargain rack from the Chelsea 2.0 collection.  I hope that the photos Faith was taking of Mariah and Tessa would be posted somewhere on line. Very cute. 

That shield present from Kevin reminded me that Kevin and Mariah have had a very long complicated relationship from just about the time Mariah came to GC. They both cultivated feelings for each other which actually led to a one night stand. One night together was enough to let them know they are better off just being really good friends.  I’m disappointed that TIIC didn’t bring back Kevin for the engagement party for Kevin was instrumental in the Mariah/Tessa relationship from the very beginning when Mariah confessed her feelings for Tessa To Kevin. 

As I previously had to agree with Banana Breath the Pompous for the first time, I also have to give TIIC kudos for having Abby write AKA Bowie in their best wishes. 

After graduation, Faith and Adam would be the only two with a degree in business. But that means nothing in the business world in GC.  Faith should just avoid major college loans and go work for Aunt Olive.

Like some of you, I’ve been rethinking the engagement party. Were those the only “family and friends” that could have been invited to celebrate Mariah and Tessa? Really? Everyone seemed uncomfortable and awkward for some reason. I do love the relationship between M and T but enough with the cutesy, wutesy stuff. Yuck. And I hated Abby’s hair. It’s been looking dry and unkempt lately. Hire a new hairdresser for this show, please!

I'm wondering if they'll invite Crystal, (that's Tessa's sister's name, right?), to the wedding. And when Tessa goes on tour, doesn't she have a back-up band and wouldn't they be friends? Isn't she friends with anyone in the music industry? She did just record an album. (There was that one guy from her past that she toured with, but he'd be inappropriate since they used to date.) And doesn't Mariah have any work friends, from her current job for Jack or her previous job on that tv show?

You know who I really missed?  Phyllis.  Cuz it's just not a party without Phyllis.

And Dummer!!  Just those duck lips and vacant expression alone puts everyone in a party mood.

People were probably a little nervous, maybe worrying that Devon wanted partial custody of them, too, or worried Noah would turn the event into a hostage situation, or, worst of all, Bag of Hair would make them all play pickle ball.

If this doesn't make those two elope, nothing will.

Actually, the thought occurred to me while viewing today they were SORAing Faith as Dummer 2.0!

I still liked her dress though. Everyone else looked like somebody's Aunt Minnie.

Just finally finished up today's episode.

I kept giving a certain character the finger everytime said character appeared on screen.  At least I'm not talking to the tv, that scares the dog.

For the first time ever, SHUT UP, Mariah.  I mean that in the nicest way possible.  But the Baby Chancellor Crew, annoying as they all were, didn't set out to create Abby and Devon's child.  They set out to create Abby and Chance's child.  Stop trying to force revisionist history on us, please.

I know I've got terrible musical taste, no argument there, but I likes what I likes and I like Tessa's music.  Maybe not all day long, but enough.  I was thinking though, what a drag it might be to married to a musician and NOT like their stuff.

Faith's inner Newman seemed to be coming out pretty strongly with the way she was bossing around Moses.  Is she a mini Victoria in the making?

This may have already been mentioned upthread but baby Dom has Abby's exact same coloring/eye color.  How is that possible with Devon and Mariah as his bio parents?  It only makes sense that someone else is the dad.  Although I hate to think that it's Stitch.

He's Abby's biological child (at least so far).  They used her egg, fertilized with Devon's sperm and implanted the embryo in Mariah to carry to completion.

Abby can get pregnant, can't carry to term.

Amanda's talk about being around a baby would've been just fine if she were talking about her own child instead of Abby's. Come on blood test set us free!

Preach!! In speaking of revising history, TPTB need to remember that Tessa was never really attracted to Noah and scammed him. I think during the whole J.T cover-up fiasco Victoria actually called her out for that after Tessa got caught trying to Blackmail her. But that was 4-5 years ago and clearly the writers don't bother to remember what they wrote a week ago, let alone 1 or more years ago. Mariah was being way too nice/understanding to Noah for my liking. 

Hard to say who was getting on my nerves more at the engagement party, Noah or Dickvon. Count me in as being someone who would rather see him pursue Sally or Imani. (Well...maybe not Sally. Adam seems to really like her and after everything he should be left alone for a while) Hell, Noah could do us all a favor and hook up with Amanda and/or Lily, then Teriah would be safe, and two of the most annoying couples on this shit show would be broken up. A girl can dream lol

Ever since this show started, DNA & sperm samples have nearly always been mixed up. Since this SL has been so screwed up already, why not keep going and have Bowie turn out to be be unrelated to both Abby & Devon, who now no longer want him, so they let Mariah & Tessa adopt and raise him. And since Tessa has her hands full, nuNoah leaves town to mope elsewhere.
