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

Every time Jack opens that little carved wooden box with Luan's necklace in it, I think he found my stash from high school! I expect him to say, "theres nothing in here but rolling paper and matches."

I think Amanda might just have punched a hole through Devon's smokescreen to the truth by asking him if what he really wants is full custody, that this worry about Dom's feelings is a cover for what he really wants but knows he can't -and shouldn't - have.  Amanda naming it, putting it out there into the light might just be the thing to help him cool his jets.

I tthink Amanda was telling Devon she's not buying what he's selling, in a loving but direct way.  He sure didn't like hearing it, whatever the case.

Or not, and next week I'll be regretting this post.

Maybe he'll go full steam ahead, head first until he finally hits that brick wall.  Both Devon and Chance need to stop treating the lil' hamburgler like a sentient barometer and call themselves out on their own crap honestly.  And Abby needs to define her parameters with both of them.  

So Sharon is Christian's favorite person?  Maybe that's because he's only got Phyllis to compare her to, or maybe it's because he's still locked in the garage? 

In any case, the kid needs to get out more.  But NOT with Faith and/or Moses, or they'll have him whittling, canning apples and playing marbles like a well brought up boy from the 19th century.

Speaking of Little House on the Prairie, look who walked into Crimson Lights.

Chelsea Lawton, Genoa City's answer to Nellie Oleson.  And she's set her sights on Pa.

Sharon is not going to like that.

No sirree BOB.

If Jack and Pillsbury Ashland are Kemosabes, does that make Victoria Tonto?  Does Jack need to change "Red's" nickname to "Blonde"? Actors  playing Victoria, Pillsbury & Nikki gave some heavy handed performances today, looked like they'd been reading this thread and tried to energize the lackluster script. Phyllis appeared dialled out, of course her competition with the wallpaper for screen time during Jack's histrionics is not only tiresome for her, right? The actress playing Allie seemed to hit all the right notes, maybe her addition has also factored in the rest of them upping their games.

[CountryGirl]

Nikki, to Ashland today: "I promise you that if you have the evidence to back it up, Victor will apologize and back off."

She must have his Kool-Aid in a special night-time IV because Victor never apologizes for anything, ever, and back off is not in his wheelhouse.

He's apologizing right now. "I'm sorry this is happening to you." Oh, you meant for something he did, yeah. no.

I like Allie. I still think the way she was brought on was stupid. And I have no fucks to give about this bullshit mystery texting to Jack. I hope he and Red solve this shit fast and move on with the Allie story. (Although, for a change I am enjoying Phyllis.) I feel sorry for Allie that she's most likely being sacrificed to Noel. But at this moment I'm hoping Allie stays on as as regular for a long time.

I like her better than Sally. Maybe Adam will glance her way.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Why is Ashland just sitting around Society while his life is on the verge of imploding? He needs to be making plans to vanish before Victor has him disappeared. 😱

Ehhh, Nikki was running her mouth too much to Ashland. She usually isn't worked so easily. She might want to get back into her serial killer mode in case Ashland needs to be, uh, taken care of to protect the Newman family. 😈

Allie said she's in grad school. Hmm, maybe she's not going to be involved with Noah like the spumors say. She'd be too smart for him. Heck, she'd be too smart for most of GC. 😏

Nikki basically told Ashland to do a better job of dummying up his medical records and other evidence of his alleged innocence, because that's the only way he'll get Victor to shut up. Really, Nik?

Don't worry, Jack. Once Allie has a chance to check you and the Abbotts out on the googles and social media she'll be all over you. The revelation of being an heir to family fortune will be the next best thing to winning the lottery. Remember Theo? 🤑

There she is, Ice Queen Victoria, about to shiv her husband with the cold, hard facts regarding his lies and schemes. Be afraid, Ashland. Be very afraid. 🥶

Re the previews: OMG, Jill, no! You better not be trying to guilt Devon into handing his company over to you and CI. I cannot with you and Lily abusing Neil's memory like this. 🤨

Oh, I'd rather see him stay with Sally but I could see how Adam might be attracted to Allie's presumed intellect. She likewise might appreciate his Harvard education in a way none of the Newmans ever have. What I definitely don't want is Allie and Sally (really, Show? 🙄) in a competition for him. Adam is still not worth all that IMO.

This reminds me that Jabot is the last GC company standing that is still recognizable by the product it sells.  The rest are just Dollar Stores on steroids.

[Waldo13]

Allie being Keemo’s daughter was never in doubt from the moment she walked into the house. It was as obvious as the nose on Nostrils face.  In addition, it’s also became very obvious that it was Allie’s mom that was sending the texts for Jack to find his granddaughter.  Mystery solved now on to Allie coming to GC as a love interest for Noah. 

Victor is single minded in his need for control and power is only second to Olive’s need for control and power.  Olive, as usual, is in her I’ll show you frame of mind and can’t be deterred just like the USPS in delivering the mail  

Nobody paints Victor into a corner and with Ashland 2.0 trying to do so with Nikki, is an epic fail and miscalculation. Nikki is even more protective of Victor that she is of Olive.  Ashland 2.0 is so full of shit that his eyes should be brown and if you gave him an enema he would actually fit in a shoebox.  His hand jesters are very unsettling especially when he points his fingers. Making fists and pointing fingers are a sign of aggression towards the person you’re talking to.  Bravo goes to Nikki for putting the ball in Ashland 2.0’s court.

The age difference between Adam an Allie would be over 10 years. Adam wants a woman not a petulant child.  After Allie’s action today, I believe that she would be too much for Noah to handle. 
 

Adam and Sally is only second to Mariah and Tessa as a couple.

Deny deny deny is the tactic that Ashland 2.0 is using.  How can funds be transferred from one of Ashland 2.0’s small divisions without his knowledge.  Ashland 2.0 was treated in Peru mid merger so why would anyone want to hurt Ashland 2.0 and to what end.  Ashland 2.0 it doesn’t make sense that this only happened when he and Olive was discussing making him Co-CEO. Michael already had the information way before they said anything to Victor.  Is Olive just stupid or ignorant to be buying into Ashland 2.0’s 🐂💩.  At least Olive is not buying that Victor was behind this.  Ashland 2.0 STOP pointing your fingers at the person you are talking to. ITS FUCKING RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL. 

Sally is becoming Adam’s voice of reason because she’s very intuitive.  Adam called Sally “Lady MacBeth” but that’s not quite true.  Sally is not intimating death to Ashland 2.0  just a banishment from GC.  Sally’s eyes, when looking at Adam, always seems to sparkle. The only other couple who’s eyes sparkle when they look at each other are Mariah and Tessa. 

Ashland 2.0 comes into Society to talk to Natey Nate Nate and unzips his fly, in preparation for a pissing contest, to imply  that Natey Nate Nate is buying what Victor is selling.  For me that’s a tell tail sign of being cavalier to the real reason that Natey Nate Nate’s reason wanted to meet. The one thing that I’ve learned that has taught me well is when someone giving you information, you have to keep in mind is not only the information that you are receiving but why are they giving you that information.  Score one for Natey Nate Nate with digging into Ashland 2.0’s medical records. I don’t believe that Natey Nate Nate, as a doctor, crossed any red lines in doing so it’s complete 🐂💩 that Ashland 2.0 can have Natey Nate Nate’s medical license pulled.  In fact Natey Nate Nate acted as Ashland 2.0 de facto doctor when Ashland 2.0 asked him to research alternative experimental cancer treatments and other medical advice. Natey Nate Nate than had every right to check on Ashland 2.0’s medical condition. Please correct me if I’m wrong but was this the first time we heard that Ashland cancer diagnosis came from a scan after Ashland’s heart attack?

I don't remember a scan being mentioned specifically but I do remember Ashland saying, I think to Jack, that the cancer was discovered when he was treated for the heart attack.  That was ages ago, though, when he was visiting Harrison at the Abbott home.

[Julyolo]

Only one question about today's show. How long did it take the tattoo artist to ink the dress on Sally? Or was it just body paint?

[Joimiaroxeu]

Nick said the way Ashland let his bribery payments be so easily traced was careless. Because of course when the Newman bribe people they make sure no one can ever find out. It's the Newman way! Ashland Locke is not worthy! 

So was Ashland suggesting that Victor went back in time and made those bribery payments through the Locke Communications accounts? Or he had someone in the bank in Peru falsify bank statements and financial transactions? Oh come on. How is Victoria not seeing the absurdity?

Since Adam wouldn't play ball in the Take Down Ashland campaign, now Victor's back to using Nick instead. He is so transparent. How do all of them not see through his maneuvers? They're Victor's puppets. 😐

Another hideous dress on Sally, only this one wouldn't much work for her potential side gig as a street walker. All her customers would run away in horror at the offense to their eyes. 🙀

Uh no, Kyle is regrowing the bouffant. And it looked like he was video chatting from the same empty closet Summer was using recently. Stay cheap, TPTB! 🤡

Nate finally did his homework on Ashland's fake illness. Better late than never I guess. He needs to watch his back now that he's confronted Ashland to his face.

Hmm, wonder what university Allie will transfer to so she can be closer to her "new" family, U of Chicago, Northwestern? It better not be GCU. 🙄 OTOH, maybe she's older than she looks is about to finish grad school this spring. She can write her thesis anywhere and any final exams can likely be taken online.

Dang, Adam is not playing. He is out for Victoria's job, and is willing to kick her while she's down. Was Victor impressed by Adam's diatribe against her (and Nick) or will he accuse Adam of being jealous of his siblings?

[boes]

I'm not defending Ashland, not Ashland 2.0 anyway, but really, Nate?  You're outraged and offended that Ashland faked his cancer when you faked Victor's death to help catch out Adam when he switched Victor's meds.  

It's nice that Nate Natey Nate Nate Nate will never strain himself with those pesky medical ethics weighing him down.

[boes]

I'm liking Allie.  I know it's early days and she's just been in a few scenes but I believe her character.  She seems very comfortable with the camera and I like the energy between her and Peter Bergman.  While I quickly tired of Jack's every day soliloquies about Keemo, I did like those last scenes between him and Allie.  Nice touch and good job, IMO, from them both.

The only people I like in this Ashland storyline are Adam and Sally and they're barely in it.  Nick's always nothing but an angry lump, Victoria seems completely out of her depth and Ashland 2.0, as admirable an actor as I hear he was on GL is stuck playing Ashland on the short end of the stick.  Victor, as usual, elicits the opposite of empathy and pity in me.  If there's any way for Ashland to take Victor down AND go down in the process, taking Nick and Victoria with them, I'll perk up and take some interest.

Till then I'm going to wait to see if whoever has kidnapped Michael dyed his hair back to black just to mess with him.  

On the off chance that Michael were to die, do you think Lauren would wear a black g-string to the service or would that be too formal for a Genoa City funeral?  I hope she doesn't wait till the last minute to think about these things.

She has an admirable figure, but in Show's eagerness to show it off, Wardrobe is putting her (heck, the entire female cast, really) in the ugliest dresses! I get that we don't necessarily need "real-life" business executive wear (that could potentially be boring), but there has GOT to be a happy medium between boring, basic business suits and dressing these executive women like nightclub hostesses!!  Tracy, Lily, and now Sally are the worst culprits.

Yes, Jack did give Allie his business card. Yes, most business cards have the business address along with a direct phone number that would have a telltale area code. (Not just an 800 number.) These MWTs are the worst. It's as though the monkeys that write the Monday episodes don't talk to the monkeys that write the Tuesday episodes and so on.

Lol, that "Tracy" was meant to be Lauren, right? I don't think I've ever seen Traci dressed like a high-priced hooker. Am prepared to be corrected though.

Pretty much after every episode I check Worn on TV to see where the clothes come from and how much they cost. Most of that stuff is not cheap. 😐

I'm curious to see how they're going to dress Allie because she's rather thin. Since she's from LA I'd expect her to be fashion-forward but personality-wise, perhaps not too avant-garde. I just hope she doesn't ever mention Forrester Creations. 🙄

(But along those lines, I'd like to see Allie and Sally strike up a friendship since they'll have their statuses as CA transplants in common. Sally needs a galpal and I get the feeling Allie would have no trouble telling all the GC naysayers to shut up about her.)

Maybe Natey Nate Nate is not a Radiologist or an Oncologist but as a doctor and a surgeon he his highly capable of reading scans and X-Rays.  Ashland was diagnosed with advance cancer so even a 1st year medical student would be able to see the cancer on a scan.  Yes Natey Nate Nate, you can take it to the bank that was a threat from Ashland 2.0.  Actually there were two. Today also, with Natey Nate Nate talking to Elena, it was confirmed that Natey Nate Nate was Ashland 2.0’s de facto doctor. Natey Nate Nate gave Ashland 2.0 medical advice plus he gave him supplements to help with the after effects of his supposed chemo treatments. Natey Nate Nate could access Ashland’s medical records to make sure his advice was solid. 

OK, so let’s say that Ashland’s cancer was supposedly diagnosed after his heart attack so wouldn’t that be more evidence that Ashland’s cancer was a ruse to retaliate against Victor for making him sign the contract before calling for help?  Ashland 2.0 has shown time and time again that he is quite vindictive.  How many times has Ashland 2.0 lied and Olive excepts his reasons for lying but Olive cannot accept the fact that Banana Breath is looking out for her best interest especially in matters of the heart. Olive has a terrible relationships, with men, since she was a teenager.  

As skinny as Olive is, she has some junk in her trunk in comparison to the rest of her body.  Maybe Olive follows Sally’s workout regimen 😜. 

In Sally talking to Sharon about Adam, I detect a small amount of jealousy that Sally has a business and personal relationship with Adam. 

Here again we get how much the writing sucks. Lauren is all bent out of shape and ready to have a missing person report on Michael. Lauren was asked to put it off one day by Kevin not Victor. Now Sally told Lauren that Victor had his best guys looking for Micheal, something that was going to be done anyway, but Lauren is all upset that Victor lied to her about knowing not knowing where Michael is. 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Adam: Victoria deserves much better than Ashland and I'm sorry that she can't see that. But since she can't, we may all suffer from her blind loyalty and I don't think there's a problem in being honest about that.
Victor: son, we Newmans all have things we can accuse each other of. Stop pointing fingers at Victoria.
The World: where is the lie tho? 😏

Not sure why Chelsea insists on wearing crimson lipstick. I think it looks garish on her and her whole vibe is too loud as it is IMO.

Eh, Ashland, if push came to shove I'm not so sure Victoria would choose you over the word of Nate. He's been pretty tight with her and the Newmans for quite a while. Shared knowledge of deeply buried bodies, as it were.

Yikes, Sally taking counsel from Sharon wrt Adam. It was a clash of the titans of d!ckmatization. But Sharon has her psychology training to help her engage in mindfcukery to protect Adam, while Sally only has her fire crotch. 😼

Elena appears to have toned down the frosted blonde tips in her hair. Looked much better to me today.

Victor, FOH. You are arguably the root cause of Victoria's self-doubt and trust issues. Remember that time you had her arrested at her own wedding, while she was pregnant? She's been trained to mistrust her judgment by YOU. Ashland is what your malevolent parenting practices have wrought because she's afraid of being proven unable to protect herself from a dominating man, again.

That's right, Ashland. The Newmans close ranks and protect their own. You have no idea. Soon enough Victoria will be screaming Rolling in the Deep in your face.

Open mouth, insert stiletto-heeled foot, Sally. You've been straying out your lane a lot lately. Better get a handle on that because you sure don't want Victor as serious enemy. He'd make dealing with crazypants Chelsea look like a playdate with Barbies and all the Dream Houses.

I for one am PRAYING that Ashland is being set up.. and that he wins in the end. I hate when shoes treat a character as too big to fail (Victor…Luke/Sonny on GH). It’s boring.

It didn't look like the writers were going for the Locke faking his illness plot at first. He showed symptoms while no one was around. He even fainted when there was no telling when someone was gonna find him. When faking an illness, it's good practice to act out symptoms even while alone, but fainting is a whole new level of dedication.

There are a lot of different ways this story could or could have, played out if the writers didn't fumble it:

• Locke was scamming but ended up falling in love for real
• Victoria was the one scamming
• Victoria wasn't scamming but merged companies with the expectation that Locke dying would be part of the deal
