I'm expecting Victoria to be dressed in full dominatrix gear the next time we see her

Maybe she should become a real one and scandalize her family. Didn't she pose nude for a magazine one time? Like mother, like daughter.

[Sake614]

Damn Victoria is just itching for a sexual harassment lawsuit, isn’t she? Or are e supposed to be rooting for her and Nate as a couple? She’s really coming across as a predator with her double entendres. “Put yourself in my hands Nate.” ‘I always get what I want.’ I know it won’t happen but I would truly love for him to sue her.

poor Adam is going to be disappointed yet again. If Devon buys the company, Adam is out. If Victoria buys the company, Adam is out. I should feel sorry for him but he knows Victor can’t be trusted. He should have said ‘Call me when you have controls of the company.then and only then will I consider it. And I’m going to want an iron clad contract spelling out in detail that I have sole control and Will never, EVER have to answer to Victoria. Have a nice day, dad.’

I suppose the plus side of today is we didn’t have to see Sally or Banana Breath. Or even Copperhead.

Daniel gets a bunch of kudos for giving Natey Nate Nate a big FU 👍👍.  Natey Nate Nate, if Devon and Lily ever, in a million yeas, forgive you, it would be too soon.  Hold the phone. I have to take my kudos back because Daniel, in talking to Lily, is carrying Natey Nate Nate’s water.  As Daniel continues his conversation, with Lily, the more I’m convinced Daniel is a schmuck.  He’s blowing smoke up Lily’s ass by telling Lily that her family has failed her. Daniel should know about family failure since his family ran away, to Portugal, because he failed them. 

Cruella is warning Devon about playing hard ball, but the only actual way for Cruella to play hard ball is to put on a pair of pants and play pocket pool like Banana Breath and Nostrils.  Speaking of big FU’s, Devon just gave one to Cruella. Nice try Cruella but no cigar. If Devon doesn’t buy McCall Unlimited, does Cruella actually think he would sell to NE. Did you see the look on Cruella’s face when Daddy Dearest told Cruella it would be a separate entity run by Adam?  I didn’t know that Cruella, pale as she is, could get any paler.  How stupid is Cruella that she thinks that she can go against the Great Victor Newman.  Cruella still serves NE at the pleasure of Victor. Go against Victor and Cruella could be on the outside looking in with Adam in charge of it all. If you think that Cruella is pale now, she would make Casper look like he has a suntan. 

Devon, don’t be stupid. Buying McCall Unlimited is a great move no matter why Tucker wants to sell it to you. Who cares is Tucker is trying to impress Ashley.  Tucker McCall will be under your control, free to do with it as you want, and with no strings attached.  

 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Not sure I understand why Adam would be wanting to get in on a takeover of Tucker's company. During their recent scene together I got the impression those two respected each other, though perhaps with caution.

Victoria has all the nerve, showing up at Devon's place uninvited to stake a claim on McCall Unlimited. AFAIC Devon should've shut the door in her icy smug face.

On his way back to the office to meet with Daniel, Nate must've stopped by a barber shop. His hair looked shorter today.

Meanwhile, Nate has zero, zip, nada shame. He was actually trying to use Daniel to work Lily and Devon. Dummkopf, Daniel is not trying to be your tool.

Heh, Devon was staring at Vikki like she had sprouted a second head. She stood in his home and talked at him like he's an idiot who was born yesterday. WTAF.

Wait, I thought Abby had sort of made peace with Tucker? Today she acted like he was scum on the bottom of her shoes when he arrived at the Abbott manse to see Ashley.

Lily, your business life is imploding because the C-W merger was a shaky prospect to begin with. You thought you were going to be running with the big dogs but it turns out you're mostly a yappy purse puppy.

So now Victoria is going to battle against her father, Adam, and Devon for ownership of Tucker's company. Yawn. She just doesn't want Adam to be on her level, or possibly surpass her.

Sure, Abby, your daddy thinks people can change...as long as their last name isn't Abbott. FOH with your Pollyanna nonsense.

Tucker in those slim jeans. Aw yiss. 😛 Get it, Ashley.

OMG, who would want to see Victoria's bony body naked? She'd put the porn industry out of business. This must've happened when Heather Tom was in the role.

I would soooo want this to happen.

Loved Ashley's dress good color, cut and barely a hint of skin.

[gingerella]

Seriously? Why does Devon care why Tucker is selling his company to him? First, I'd hire someone to look at the books to see if it's a viable company because DUH! But apparently I'm smarter than the captains of industry that sashay around GC on the regular. Also, why not tell Tucker to fucking GIVE you his company, like for free? That is a noble thing right there. Take his company and tell Mop to fuck herself. Speaking of, why does this bitch think she can buy McCall Unlimited just because she wants to? You can't just buy someone's company if you aren't a majority stakeholder, am I wrong about that? And she's not, so why is she even talking about this? These people are morons.

[Snaporaz]

I don't understand why Victor is getting Victoria involved at all if he wants McCall to be a separate entity from Newman.  Can't he just use his personal funds like he did when he bought Newman Media from Ashland? 

It was Heather Tom's Victoria who posed for the centerfold after she had to annul her marriage to Cole when they thought they were brother and sister and then Cole hooked up with Nikki.  The photos weren't supposed to be released, but the publisher broke his promise.  Victor had to buy up all the copies of the magazine, then he bought the publishing house and fired the publisher. 

[boes]

I'm going to have "What the hell do you want" printed on a teeshirt, tea towels, beach towels, stationary and I'm going to get a flag pole and put it on a banner I will fly proudly!

I haven't loved any piece of dialogue more than Devon's "What the hell do you want" in a very, very long time.  Well done, Mr. Hamilton.

Tucker and Ashley get better with each scene.  Did you all see when Ashley had him by the lapels, sorta shaking him, right before their kiss?  He could barely keep from laughing.  This is the best scene partner Ashley's had since Ravi.

The only thing Nate's missing is a "Kick me" sign taped to his back.  His pomposity is only matched by his utter brainlessness.  

I don't know where Show is going with this Tucker Unlimited storyline, between Tucker wanting Devon to have it, Victor wanting Adam to have it, and Victoria wanting it.  But, right now at least, the storyline has me interested.

Try not to let us down, Show, okay?  

Don't make me say "What the hell do you want"!

I thought so too.  By the time she got to Devon's she apparently changed her mind again, considering how nicely she was speaking about Tucker.

Maybe, like Phyllis is with Christine, Abby just can't get over the utter nerve of someone she took the time to run down not having the good taste to die.

I know even less about this but is buying someone's debt like a bank owning a loan on your car or house?  If the loan is called in and the loanee can't pay up, does the loaner get to (re)possess the company?  Or can Tucker sell to someone else and pay off the loan?  Why didn't he go to Devon first for a loan and then gift him the company?  (although, would anyone want to  buy a company that the owner has run almost to bankruptcy as that might indicate the health of the company itself?)

Just a thought:  Why not have Vic and Assley take over Noah's club and have a Dominatrix Theme?  All the servers could wear see-through blouses with skinny ties (all black).  Special drinks like a shot and a beer called the Ball Boiler Maker.  Or is this 'strong woman' schtick just for March/Women's Month?

It's my iffy understanding that the debt is Tucker's personal loans to try to keep the company afloat. If those loans get called in, he would have to sell MU--possibly at a bargain basement price--in order to make the payment because MU is his only asset that's valuable enough.

MU itself is in okay shape, it just has a few bad parts that are dragging the rest of it down. Both Devon and Victoria have suggested jettisoning the bad stuff after they buy the company so McCall Unlimited can be returned to its former glory.

Apparently the company would be quite valuable once the problems get sorted out. That's how Tucker is able to entertain offers to buy it; it still has exceptional goodwill in the business world. In fact, MU has the potential of becoming more valuable than NE or C-W.

Victoria sees what MU could become, and that's why she wants to keep it under the NE umbrella and divvy most of it out to other divisions. Head off the competition. Adam also sees what it could become and wants to run it free and clear from Victoria's negative influence. Victor agrees with Adam's position--for now.

Devon already has some of awareness of the problems inside MU, because when Tucker was in the ashram some MU employees did things which publicly hurt the company. Devon went in and straightened that stuff out but apparently the problems resumed after he returned to GC. He also sees MU's growth potential but he's wary of engaging with Tucker either personally or financially.

I don't know how Victor thinks he can "take" the company from Tucker absent getting control of the debt. His involvement also makes the least amount of sense to me because he has Victoria trying to use NE money to buy MU. Why would NE buy a major company and then hand it off to a separate party (Adam) for nothing? That's a helluva gift and could have huge tax implications.

Tucker couldn't ask Devon for a loan because they were estranged after Devon found out Tucker was undermining C-W and Jabot. It's too late now anyway because somehow Ashley bought the debt. Now Ashley is trying to use her ownership of Tucker's debt to force him to sell the company to Devon and heal their relationship. {Presumably Ashley expects Tucker to pay off the loans after he sells the company. Tucker can't give MU for free to Devon or anyone else, not unless Ashley forgives the loans.)

Meanwhile, the Newmans are trying to find out what Ashley and Devon are up to because they think they're entitled to have MU and the Newmans cannot be denied. So far Ashley and Devon ain't scurred.

Summer: Oh, hey, a chance to interact awkwardly with a character I don’t really cross paths with. Yay!

Chelsea: Yay! Have you heard the gospel of Chelsea yet?

Summer: No thanks. Have you changed your mind about designing a douchewear line for Marchetti?

Chelsea: Not really into it since you killed Adam’s and my first kid. I have something new and stupid on the horizon.

Summer: You’re going to tell me about it, aren’t you?

@@@@@@

Billy: I was going to sit at the bar and wax philosophical, which is kinda my job now. Seriously, I put it on my resume.

Ashley: You have a resume?

Billy: I’m going to tilt back slightly so that you’re forced to gaze into the twin pools of despair. It’s very conducive to getting people to open up.

Ashley: I sure hope you’re here to lecture me about Tucker, especially after you gave Jack glowing reviews for his pursuit of Diane.

Billy: Tucker is an agent of chaos. He cannot change. These blanket statements are a substitute for onscreen character development.

Ashley: You can’t change either, wandering around, ever the happy go lucky moron (h/t Joi) dispensing judgments like a jackass shaped Pez dispenser.

Billy: True. But people keep talking to me, so I keep on trucking.

Ashley: Back the fuck up off of my romantic entanglements.

Billy: I just threw up in my mouth a little. Romantic entanglements? Gag me with a battery-powered hand mixer! You know Jack won’t be happy about this entanglement.

Ashley: Jack has slightly more credibility than you and you have a deficit in that column.

Billy: What?

Ashley: He’s sharing a bed with a woman who faked her own death and abandoned their son. He can judge me when Hell freezes over.

Billy: Ashley, Ashley, Ashley. Jack has a penis, which entitles him to make mistakes. You’re my sister, which means I have an ownership stake in your sexual activities. I don’t make the rules. I just live by them.

Ashley: I’m taking off my earrings.

Billy: If you let Jack and I select the proper mate instead of that manipulative -

Ashley: Your ass is about to be manipulated over your eyebrows. Pig.

Billy: I’m sorry my good natured, good faith concerns have upset you. Let’s talk about my latest romantic entanglement. I’m really trying to be considerate and cautious with this one.

Ashley: The victim’s name?

Billy: Let’s just say it’s someone who finds the scent of her own farts as intoxicating as I find my own. She’s made me see things in a whole new light. I’m thinking about getting a job.

Ashley: Right.

Billy: I’m calling Jack and performing ‘Billy Goes to Work’ for his voicemail. Impressed?

@@@@@@@

Devon: A damn vampire wandered over my threshold earlier. She claimed you tried to sell her McCall Unlimited. Is this deal about family and fixing our relationship or are you just unloading toxic assets on the nearest sucker?

Tucker: Did you stake it?

Devon: Nah. She muttered something about feeding off Nate, and I realized I didn’t give a fuck.

Tucker: Smart move. McCall Unlimited has been my BFF for years. My crown jewel. My OTP. If I wanted to dump something toxic on you, I’d send Phyllis over your threshold.

Devon: Fair. Well, look, speaking of Phyllis, your company is a hot mess. Like, do you even realize it’s the 21st century?

Tucker: But there’s a market for nostalgia. Look at the show we find ourselves on. The writers clearly believe there’s a yearning for a return to the oppressive sexual mores of medieval times.

Devon: It’s like the Dark Ages with cell phones all up in this bitch.

Tucker: Look at us, working so well together, breaking that fourth wall together. Buy the company, Devon. I can consult. No one knows McCall like I do.

Devon: You’re willing to sell me your company and take on a smaller role just to fix things between us?

Tucker: I really want to introduce you to the joys of dunking on the Newmans as well.

Devon: Hmmm.

@@@@@@@

Phyllis: Caw caw! I’m totally having a real conversation with my so not imaginary friends. Oh, Summer. Imagine running into you here.

Summer: Yeah, I only come here like ten times a day.

Phyllis: I think I am soooo clever as I go around the barn to arrive at “where the fuck are Jack and Diane?”

Summer: Not today, Satan.

@@@@@@

Diane: I have such a vibrant imagination. My wedding day being one thousand percent perfect is such an entertaining fantasy. Jack himself couldn’t come up with a more hilariously saccharine daydream. Oh noes. It’s Jeremy! He’s standing there menacingly!

@@@@@@

Chelsea: Come in, Billy.

Billy: How did you know it was me?

Chelsea: All the loose papers in the room got pulled toward the door.

Billy: Neat.

Chelsea: I’m in a groove. I saw Phyllis in Crimson Lights being a total hag and Summer rejecting her. Naturally I knew it was good inspiration for a video game.

Billy: I love seeing you like this, all delusional and confident and riding the wave of a hilariously bad idea. You’ve inspired me to accept Jack’s job offer. I left him a voicemail dangling the prospect of my joining him like a juicy buttbiscuitfruit. He only needs to pluck it.

Chelsea: So happy for you! We’ve got an amazing evening of stifled sofa squeakers and deep breathing ahead of us.

@@@@@@

Phyllis: Did Summer just message you and tell you what an asshole I was?

Kyle: She’d never say that. She’d totally think it, but she’d never say it. I’m so funny. Bye!

Phyllis: Kyle, your phone! Didn’t he already fuck himself up by forgetting his cell once? You’d think he’d keep it in the duck’s ass wearing him like a dingleberry. Well, time to make a call.

Diane: Hello? Jack? Is it you, Jeremy? I’ve told you that I already have a car warranty!

Phyllis: Let the games begin. Caw caw!

Oh FFS, Billy is ragging on Tucker now. Is there any man in GC he's okay with, other than Jack?

TMW your business vs. family shell games come back to haunt you. Ruh roh, Tucker. Devon called you out.

Billy said Tucker is an agent of chaos. Billy, have you met your girlfriend Chelsea? She's like a slow-moving human typhoon.

What was that clear booze Ashley and Billy were drinking? Was it tequila or vodka? Could've been white rum I guess. Or gin. 🤔

Ehh, I've got a weird feeling about Tucker's offer to sell Devon the company yet retain a paid advisor role. He might not stay in his lane since he's used to having free reign on the whole road.

Phyllis is so shady. She never stops lying to her kids. At least Summer managed to have her mommy's number today.

Billy working at Jabot again. Oy. Be afraid, Jabot employees. Be very afraid.

Is the Jabot cabin near a river or waterfall or something else loud? There was an odd noise both times Diane opened a door to look for Jack. The location is supposed to be remote so it probably wasn't a busy freeway.

Aw, Diane fantasizing about her wedding to Jack must mean it isn't going to happen. Killer dress though.

DreamTracì!

Several references lately to people being able to change and overcome their troubled pasts. Guess that's a Y&R theme right now.

Please, how is Chelsea an expert on navigating and healing interpersonal relationships? IMO she has generally moved through her life with blinders on, only fixating on her next mark and scheme.

Today Crystal and Phyllis didn't speak, and passed each other in the Ghoul Parachute lobby like ships in the night. Yikes.

Geez, why is Kyle so absent-minded? His guard should go up as soon as Phyllis enters the frame. And he needs use a lock on his phone.

Chelsea with all the shit she has done gets second chances after second chances and is the darling of GC. If Adam, walked on water, GC would say that Adam cannot swim. Even Summer, who thrives on holding grudges, now is buddy buddy with Chelsea. Chelsea who also is known to hold grudges, is now completely forgiven Summer for killing her unborn child. Here is another major contrast where Summer is rewarded after the car accident and Lily goes to jail after her car accident.  There you have it that Summer is a snowflake and always will be a snowflake because Summer respects Chelsea 2.0’s work.  I guess Summer likes schmatte based on a lot of the cloths she wears.  There are brief moments of Summer not being a snowflake and that occurs when Summer is putting Copperhead in her place.  

Nostrils actually said he has 10,000 thoughts running through his head?  Doesn’t he mean his nostrils?  The only thought Nostril ever has when he thought he farted but actually shit in his pants 😜.  Nostrils just has to stick his nose in Ashley’s business.  In fact, his prominent nose is in everyone’s business. 

Diane’s dream sequence is cringe worthy 🤢🤢🤮. 

When did it switch from Daniel’s concept to Chelsea’s concept. It seems that Chelsea is now or thinks she is the creative genius. Wasn’t Chelsea just suppose to be the graphic designer?  

How stupid do the monkeys with a keyboard thing we are?  Kyle just happens to forget his phone and his phone doesn’t have a passcode on it. Copperhead better not be held harmless in her collusion with Stark or I will be a very unhappy camper. 

About Tucker’s loan it depends how it’s structured.  With that said, I’m quite sure that Tucker had to put up McCall Unlimited as collateral.  I can’t believe a bank will give him a personal unsecured loan.  If Tucker’s loans are not paid on time or within a reasonable time past the due date, the bank can seize the company and sell it to satisfy the loan. It would be like not paying the mortgage on your home and the bank evicts you and  forecloses on your home.  Since Ashley owns the debt, it’s up to her if and when the loan is paid. Ashley can carry the debt for years if she wants.

If only Kyle would lose his head.  Or his hair.  Either one would probably have the exact same effect on his behavior.  He's not only looking jowly, he's acting jowly and I didn't even know that was a thing before him.

Diane's fever dream of a wedding would make most people wake up screaming.  Even in her dream, though, neither Ashley nor Tracy seemed to be at all sincere.  Slight tangent, what's with Jack and Kyle and their wedding obsession?  Remember Bouffant Boy and the hoopla he made Lola go through for 6 minutes of wedded bliss?  Jack's not much better.  Who knew shallow emotion and a fondness for wedding cake was genetic.  They sure didn't inherit that from Dina.

ButtBiscuit and Chelsea..... There can't be a person out there who doesn't at least inwardly cringe when they see either of them coming.  You've got Chelsea, manhands explaining why the BEST way to turn your life around was to try and kill yourself!  Yea for attempted suicide.  Not only will everyone let you drone on about all you've learned about life, all of which could be gleamed from fortune cookies and a magic 8 ball, but some utter doofus will give you a job so you can help create the most excruciating and tedious video game EVER.  Imagine for one second playing a game based on the sewage pipes that comprise Chelsea's mind.

Speaking of excruciating and tedious, imagine sitting comfortably, by yourself, and having ButtBiscuit show up and ask if he can join you.  It's like inviting that Bug from the Raid commercial to sit down and shoot the breeze.  Of course, with ButtBiscuit, the breeze issues forth from those giant twin combines of a proboscis, drawn from the windmills of his mind that turn inside that empty cavern of a skull.  I refuse to believe that Ashley couldn't have stabbed him with a fork and the employees of Society and the other patrons wouldn't have volunteered to help her bury the body.

If Diane wants a horrid dream, let her dream about ButtBiscuit and Chelsea.

I’ve read a very interesting article that Y&R might have to move out of Studio City where the show is currently filmed. A 1.2 billion dollar renovation is being done to expand the number of Studio City sound stages. This could be the reason some of the sets, like the Chancellor Mansion, Sharon’s cottage, and a much smaller Chancellor Park are gone.

I just can’t with this STUPID video game idea. The people who came up with this must be the same people who thought Phyllis and Nick gaming when they first started their affair was realistic and/or cute. I do not game but I live with gamers and ain’t no way some kid is going to want to play a video game about depression? WTF.

Please give this evidence to the police.

Imagine the poor barkeep at Society, forced to listen to the Deep Thoughts of Jack Off Handey on a daily basis. All of which, as boes so artfully put it, could be gleaned from fortune cookies and a Magic 8 Ball.

Nope, just the courtesy water that the establishment leaves on the table so the server doesn't have to keep filling the glasses.  Customer participation in their own well being, as it were.  Bar Rescue guy recommends a glass of water to every alcoholic beverage, especially when you start drinking in the middle of the day.

Ashley was pouring it out of a fancy bottle though, and it didn't really move like water when she and Billy swished their glasses around. Plus, ew, room temperature water? No reason to go to Society for that, they could just stay home and draw it from the tap. I dunno, I was just intrigued by what it could have been. Other than Victor the premium tequila drinker, these folks mostly knock back brown liquor, wine, or mixed drinks.

Not to mention one designed by a middle-aged mom out in the wilds of WI with Chelsea's rap sheet. But she seems to think her personal experience and notoriety will sell the game and no one is arguing with her. So effing stupid, and IMO only slightly less dumb than Daniel's original Princess Whatever game that was supposed to impress Lucy.

Summer: I hereby convene this meeting of the Snotty Elitist Our Shit Don’t Stink Bitches council.

Nikki: Which witch are we burning today?

Summer: Sally.

Nikki: Fabulous. She’s chaotic, as all the hep cats in town say. She’s not one of us stable, uncomplicated Newmans.

Summer: She’s knocked up. By Adam.

Nikki: Dear god! I must tell Victor. As the GC patriarch and sire of numerous vampires, he has the right to know the contents of every uterus within the city limits.

Summer: Dad’s still hanging in there.

Nikki: Nick is so noble, far too noble for his own good. A true knight in shining board shorts. His nickname in prep school was Sir Fartsalot of Turdington.

Summer: We could play cupid for Sally and Adam.

Nikki: What a delightful idea. If we come at this too directly, your father will simply dig in his heels. He gets so attached when he finds a warm place to put it.

Summer: Grandma, ew.

@@@@@@@

Nick: Let me loan you the Newman jet. As the COO, which by the way stands for Chief Awesome Officer, I can play that card.

Sally: Awesome is spelled with an A.

Nick: LOL! O-w-e-s-a-m-e? I don’t think so. Accept my offer of a ride in a giant metal phallus. It’s so worth polluting the planet to whisk a few people off to work. I mean, when the planet floods, I plan on evolving some sick gills.

Sally: I prefer commercial. Your grandfather’s coffin being on board creeps both Chloe and me out.

Adam: Waving your giant metal dong around, huh? Let me buy you a house, Sally.

Sally: Oh, that’s too much.

Nick: This is what I was talking about! You and your taking care of your baby mama bullshit is just way out of line.

Sally: Hey, assholes. I can decide where to live and how to travel. I got work to do.

Nick: Sometimes I wonder if she knows what show she’s on?

@@@@@

Chloe: I’m sorry that I interrupted a potential makeout session.

Chelsea: Whatever do you mean? Despite having been through numerous relationships, I think it’s adorable to act brand new.

Chloe: It’s not. Billy clearly wanted to take that shit brown monstrosity off you and get busy.

Chelsea: He was just excited about my game ideas.

Chloe: Your game ideas suck though. Kevin laughs his ass off when I tell him about them.

Chelsea: I don’t want to define my connection to Billy. I’m definitely drawn to him, but part of me wonders if it’s the backdraft from his nostrils.

Chloe: That’s understandable. You’ve shared an intense experience, with him inhaling you off that balcony.

Chelsea: My bond with Billy feels new and exciting and frightening all at once. I don’t want to fuck it up.

Chloe: Don’t worry about that. I’m pretty sure fucking it up is already baked into the cake.

@@@@@@

Summer: I apologize. I’m just protective of my dad. He’s like a big, dumb bunny.

Sally: Cool.

Summer: Let’s talk about Adam. Has he been a good boy?

Sally: Yes. He’s more of a fancy dog. Well groomed, smart, not embarrassing to take out in public.

Summer: I’ve always felt you’re more of a dog person. Bunnies, they just hop around aimlessly and eat carrots. They represent Easter, the holiday with the worst color scheme. Dogs are a year round joy.

Sally: This is a suspicious change of attitude.

Summer: Dad gave me ‘the look’. Sometimes it means a fart got away from him and he needs to change his undies. Other times, it means I’ve disappointed him. It doesn’t take long to smell which is which.

@@@@@@

Nikki: The lady of the manor will now receive her guests.

Lauren: How may we serve?

Nikki: ‘Tis time to celebrate Genoa City’s founding two centuries ago. Victor remembers it well.

Lauren: Remember when this show was good?

Nikki: This year won’t be nearly as good. Now, Michael. Tell me everything you know about McCall Unlimited.

Michael: I liked reminiscing better.

Nikki: Victor wants to give it to Adam. Victoria wants to suck all the life out of it and fold its empty husk into Newman. I want you to keep McCall out of Adam’s grubby little mitts. He’s not one of us.

Michael: If you want to fuck over your husband’s kid, you’re doing your own dirty work.

Nikki: Impertinent peasant! I shall have victory at all costs.

@@@@@@

Sharon: Billy. You just came from the direction of Chelsea’s. Since I’m not allowed to leave the cafe anymore, I watch our security cams for a sweet glimpse of the outside world.

Billy: She’s doing well. Thanks for asking.

Sharon: I didn’t. Have you made any progress on that relationship?

Billy: Chelsea is love. Chelsea is light. Chelsea is the truth.

Sharon: I’ll talk about Adam. That should snap you out of this.

Billy: I’m not Adam. But, uh, thanks for the advice.

Sharon: Bonus advice: Have you thought about not being a tool?

@@@@@@

Adam: Let’s hash this crap out. I’ll use small words.

Nick: We’re just a couple good ol’ boys, never meaning no harm.

Adam: Who knew that we’d be bonding over me knocking up your girlfriend again?

Nick: Asshole.

Adam: Look, Sally has a delicate condition. She’s fragile. We must be chill and keep her calm. Holy fuck, is this misogyny shit contagious?

Nick: It’s in our genes. Not the pants kind.

Adam: I feel an urge to pump dad’s tires. He really gets me, bro, even though he is utterly devoid of empathy.

Nick: If you’re talking about the McCall thing, prepare to be disappointed.

Adam: I live my life in a perpetual state of disappointment.

[Chatty Cake]

What a stupid episode. 
Sally, let Adam buy you a house. You don’t have a job yet. Just make sure he puts it in your name. Also Sally,  let the dumb one guide you. You are a better match with Adam. 
I hate enlightened Chelsea. I want jump off the roof Chelsea back and I want her to try harder this time. 
I hate therapy Sharon. I want bipolar fire starter Sharon back.

[pvandal]

How pregnant is Sally supposed to be? Those leather pants she was wearing were so tight I am afraid she may be flattening the baby.

 

Not that I don't wish I looked like that in leather pants. 🤣

Of course Billy's gonna blow smoke up Chelsea's hiney about the video game she's developing. Luckily there's no such thing as a one-person focus group.

There are several words I might use to describe Sally's life but "chaotic" would not be one of them. Apparently Nikki excels at projection.

Sally said C-W has a widespread bunch of offices, restaurants, and hotels. Who knew? Meanwhile, if Sally needs access to a private jet, her baby daddy has one. And he doesn't have to ask anybody for permission to use it. 😏

Summer, you're the one creating chaos now. Nikki is the last person you should've told about Sally's pregnancy. It wasn't your news to spread and you knew your snobby grandma would flip out.

Sharon's professionalism? Pshht, repeating this b.s. will never make it true, Show.

A masked ball. Okay, are they recreating the historic Collonade Room set for this extravaganza?

Not sure Nikki should be going behind Victor's back to get info on the McCall Unlimited deal. Michael works for Victor, not her and not NE, so she's sowing more family vs. business discord.

Re the previews: oops, Adam, looks like your mouth is about to write a check Tucker won't cash. Let's go!

[One Tough Cookie]

Wow-the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it Dummer?  You were a perfect MiniMe of your mother during yuor "heartfelt" talk with Sally..  I wish she would snap out of it and tell all of them to fuck off, her life is her ow decision

Edited March 10, 2023 by One Tough Cookie

[MsMalin]

Its good Nick was on my tv screen and not in my living room or he would have found himself being kicked in the balls. I really can't stand the faces he makes when Adam enters the room.

 

[Waldo13]

Once again I just have to ask. Has Chelsea taken over and now is in charge of bringing her vision to Omega Sphere?  Or it it still Daniel’s vision where the game is based on Lucy?  Maybe I’m wrong because this maybe a different game on his platform.  The problem could be a second game on a platform that hasn’t even developed the first. Stupid rabbit, oh course the platform will be a huge success and revolutionize the gaming industry. Isn’t every project and new business, in GC, a huge success. 

Sally maybe causes one tenth of the chaos Copperhead causes but in true Nikki fashion, Sally is worse than Copperhead since Copperhead is the mother of her granddaughter.  Nikki once again in Nikki fashion is grateful that Adam is the father (hallelujah). Now Nikki has another grandchild, other than Christian, to ignore. I’m surprised Nikki accepts Connor.  Unlike Nikki, Victor accepts all family members. Victor might not be happy that Sally is pregnant but he would accept his grandchild. Johnny is not even a blood relation but Victor accepts him as his grandchild. 

Summer you are so wrong. Sally didn’t glom onto Banana Breath it was more that Banana Breath was glomming onto Sally.  Banana Breath was the pursuer and Sally was prey or should I say Sally was a prize that he could take from Adam. Maybe payback for Sage.  Nikki seems to have senior moments because she doesn’t remember how she landed Victor nor she had a baby, out of wedlock, with Paul. Did Victor turn his back on Det Deadwood, when he found out that he was Nikki’s son?  I don’t think do.  

Adam wants to buy Sally a house which is a grand gesture, but has Banana Breath offered Sally to move in?  That might be too early to happen but not too early to mention. 

That’s mighty green of Sally to fly commercial than use the Newman private jet 😜.  

Color me surprised for having to give Summer kudos for wanting to get Adam and Sally back together.  It’s a tall order, but well worth the effort.  Another obvious trait that Summer and Copperhead have is that they are both as subtle as a guillotine when they are fishing for information. Summer trying to match wits with Sally is like Summer trying to talk a Lioness out of eating her. They just don’t speak the same language.  At the end of Summer’s and Sally’s conversation, Sally still wasn’t buying what Summer was selling.  

No Chloe, when you walked into the room, Chelsea looked flush because of the lack of oxygen in the room.  Chloe was actually a breath of fresh air. Now we have Chelsea and Nostrils 2.0 but can I actually call it 2.0 when, at that time, Billy was not Nostrils yet.  Why should Nostrils Chelsea feel like Nostrils is pulling her in?  The vacuum his nose created is like a shop vac. 

Is it just me or does anyone else think that today Chloe is as capable of being a shrink as Sharon?   And Chloe didn’t find a degree at the bottom of a Cracker Jack Box. 

There are two things that come out of Nikk’s conversation with Michael. Why in the world would she think that Michael would betray Victor in what he wants to do and that Cruella would tear McCall Unlimited apart while Devon is willing to see if what is wrong can be fixed. Devon is the more savvy of the two because keeping McCall together can be much more profitable in the long run. 

I really enjoy when Adam and Banana Breath are civil to each other.  Banana Breath, in a private talk, is not condescending to Adam.  Banana Breath is condescending about Adam when he has an audience.

Chelsea: Yay! Have you heard the gospel of Chelsea yet?

Summer: No thanks. Have you changed your mind about designing a douchewear line for Marchetti?

Chelsea: Not really into it since you killed Adam’s and my first kid. I have something new and stupid on the horizon.

Summer: You’re going to tell me about it, aren’t you?

@@@@@@

Billy: I was going to sit at the bar and wax philosophical, which is kinda my job now. Seriously, I put it on my resume.

Ashley: You have a resume?

Billy: I’m going to tilt back slightly so that you’re forced to gaze into the twin pools of despair. It’s very conducive to getting people to open up.

Ashley: I sure hope you’re here to lecture me about Tucker, especially after you gave Jack glowing reviews for his pursuit of Diane.

Billy: Tucker is an agent of chaos. He cannot change. These blanket statements are a substitute for onscreen character development.

Ashley: You can’t change either, wandering around, ever the happy go lucky moron (h/t Joi) dispensing judgments like a jackass shaped Pez dispenser.

Billy: True. But people keep talking to me, so I keep on trucking.

Ashley: Back the fuck up off of my romantic entanglements.

Billy: I just threw up in my mouth a little. Romantic entanglements? Gag me with a battery-powered hand mixer! You know Jack won’t be happy about this entanglement.

Ashley: Jack has slightly more credibility than you and you have a deficit in that column.

Billy: What?

Ashley: He’s sharing a bed with a woman who faked her own death and abandoned their son. He can judge me when Hell freezes over.

Billy: Ashley, Ashley, Ashley. Jack has a penis, which entitles him to make mistakes. You’re my sister, which means I have an ownership stake in your sexual activities. I don’t make the rules. I just live by them.

Ashley: I’m taking off my earrings.

Billy: If you let Jack and I select the proper mate instead of that manipulative -

Ashley: Your ass is about to be manipulated over your eyebrows. Pig.

Billy: I’m sorry my good natured, good faith concerns have upset you. Let’s talk about my latest romantic entanglement. I’m really trying to be considerate and cautious with this one.

Ashley: The victim’s name?

Billy: Let’s just say it’s someone who finds the scent of her own farts as intoxicating as I find my own. She’s made me see things in a whole new light. I’m thinking about getting a job.

Ashley: Right.

Billy: I’m calling Jack and performing ‘Billy Goes to Work’ for his voicemail. Impressed?

@@@@@@@

Devon: A damn vampire wandered over my threshold earlier. She claimed you tried to sell her McCall Unlimited. Is this deal about family and fixing our relationship or are you just unloading toxic assets on the nearest sucker?

Tucker: Did you stake it?

Devon: Nah. She muttered something about feeding off Nate, and I realized I didn’t give a fuck.

Tucker: Smart move. McCall Unlimited has been my BFF for years. My crown jewel. My OTP. If I wanted to dump something toxic on you, I’d send Phyllis over your threshold.

Devon: Fair. Well, look, speaking of Phyllis, your company is a hot mess. Like, do you even realize it’s the 21st century?

Tucker: But there’s a market for nostalgia. Look at the show we find ourselves on. The writers clearly believe there’s a yearning for a return to the oppressive sexual mores of medieval times.

Devon: It’s like the Dark Ages with cell phones all up in this bitch.

Tucker: Look at us, working so well together, breaking that fourth wall together. Buy the company, Devon. I can consult. No one knows McCall like I do.

Devon: You’re willing to sell me your company and take on a smaller role just to fix things between us?

Tucker: I really want to introduce you to the joys of dunking on the Newmans as well.

Devon: Hmmm.

@@@@@@@

Phyllis: Caw caw! I’m totally having a real conversation with my so not imaginary friends. Oh, Summer. Imagine running into you here.

Summer: Yeah, I only come here like ten times a day.

Phyllis: I think I am soooo clever as I go around the barn to arrive at “where the fuck are Jack and Diane?”

Summer: Not today, Satan.

@@@@@@

Diane: I have such a vibrant imagination. My wedding day being one thousand percent perfect is such an entertaining fantasy. Jack himself couldn’t come up with a more hilariously saccharine daydream. Oh noes. It’s Jeremy! He’s standing there menacingly!

@@@@@@

Chelsea: Come in, Billy.

Billy: How did you know it was me?

Chelsea: All the loose papers in the room got pulled toward the door.

Billy: Neat.

Chelsea: I’m in a groove. I saw Phyllis in Crimson Lights being a total hag and Summer rejecting her. Naturally I knew it was good inspiration for a video game.

Billy: I love seeing you like this, all delusional and confident and riding the wave of a hilariously bad idea. You’ve inspired me to accept Jack’s job offer. I left him a voicemail dangling the prospect of my joining him like a juicy buttbiscuitfruit. He only needs to pluck it.

Chelsea: So happy for you! We’ve got an amazing evening of stifled sofa squeakers and deep breathing ahead of us.

@@@@@@

Phyllis: Did Summer just message you and tell you what an asshole I was?

Kyle: She’d never say that. She’d totally think it, but she’d never say it. I’m so funny. Bye!

Phyllis: Kyle, your phone! Didn’t he already fuck himself up by forgetting his cell once? You’d think he’d keep it in the duck’s ass wearing him like a dingleberry. Well, time to make a call.

Diane: Hello? Jack? Is it you, Jeremy? I’ve told you that I already have a car warranty!

Phyllis: Let the games begin. Caw caw!

Audra: May I taunt you about what an amazing man Nate is? An amazing man in a relationship with a woman who is not you. Now, go away before I taunt you again.

@@@@@

Nate: Synergy! Workflow! Had a meeting with Victoria and it was exhilarating! One might even call it… exhilar-nating!

Elena: One might also eat shit and die. What the hell is up with you and Victoria, fool?

Nate: I just haven’t found the right priest to exorcise - I mean, she’s my co-worker. My boss. You know.

Elena: I ran into Audra. She spilled the tea.

Nate: I admire Victoria, the way her mind works. Sure, she stalks me like prey with the barely restrained hunger of a feral coyote, but that’s just corporate life.

Elena:…

Nate: Are we really doing this again? Man, a guy is obsessed with work, raves about his lady boss and acts like an egomaniacal jackass and suddenly it’s time to be suspicious.

Elena: You’re right. I’m just borrowing trouble. Being an egomaniacal jackass is your default state. Let’s cuddle.

@@@@@@

Kyle: Despite all the bullshit, you’re looking foine as hell.

Summer: Meanwhile, Harrison keeps asking if he can climb your hair.

Kyle: What’s bugging you? Stark? Your mom? Your father? It’s kind of a downer how many problems you have.

Summer: My mom was trying to get Jack’s and Diane’s location.

Kyle: She probably just wants to watch.

@@@@@@

Victoria: I must admit, Audra, your instincts about Tucker were right on.

Audra: I know him well. And nakedly.

Victoria: I ran right over to Devon’s to interrogate him, as CEOs are wont to do. He admitted he was trying to snatch my new toy.

Audra: I admire you. You take whatever you want no matter who stands in your way. You jacked up Nate’s family and now you’re going to insinuate yourself between a father and son.

Victoria: You make me sound like a sociopath. As does the list of justifications I’m about to make. My victims have their own selves to blame.

Audra: We’re still talking about Devon and Tucker?

Victoria: HOW DARE YOU! We were very specifically discussing McCall Unlimited. Please remain within the conversational parameters I have established.

@@@@@

Jack: That must be an interesting page. You keep reading it.

Diane: Kyle sketched obscene doodles in the margins. I don’t get it. This is a Reader’s Digest condensed bible.

Jack: We haven’t talked about Jeremy for almost 30 seconds. I know it’s eating you up inside. Go ahead.

Diane: I can’t hardly sleep at night, thinking about the target that may be on my family. Stark is so dangerous. I have to say that because showing it is impossible.

Jack: He’s a threat that’s done very little threatening. That may be the scariest non-scary thing about him.

Diane: But, Jack… he’s staying at the Generous Proton. Only villains rent a room there. Sometimes he even leaves the room. God, I shiver just thinking about it. I saw him feed a parking meter for an old lady. Like holy shit, what could make him sink so low?

Jack: The important thing is not to let Jeremy live rent free in our heads.

Diane: So I should take this welcome mat out of my ear canal?

@@@@@@

Phyllis: I found them. Now what?

Jeremy: Excellent work. 

Phyllis: We can’t lay siege to the Abbott cabin. Jack knows that territory like the back of his hand. And there’s a death ray hidden in the woodpecker doorbell.

Jeremy: You clearly have an idea.

Phyllis: Your plan is good. It’s solid. However, there’s no one in this town as resourceful or committed as me when it comes to getting what I want. I’m 100% dedicated to fucking Diane’s shit up.

Jeremy: That’s what I love to hear. Mind you, I prefer a non-violent brand of psychological warfare.

Phyllis: You bought a ticket on the crazy train, homeslice. Choo choo!

Phyllis: I know you don’t want to see me, talk to me, listen to me or even smell me. But I have news you can use.

Kyle: Please don’t show me your lemons in tube socks again. I was just a child, dammit.

Summer: This better be good.

Phyllis: Jeremy Stark is on a plane to Paris in hot pursuit of Jack and Diane. I think he’s going to beat Jack with a crusty baguette.

Summer: How would you even know?

Phyllis: Look at you with the shrewd question. The truth is, Jeremy has been totally obsessed with me. He wants me to team up with him to get revenge on Diane. I said no, which is totally believable.

Kyle: Why are we just hearing about this now? You know you have to clear all social interactions through us.

Phyllis: I turned him down. I want Jack to have permanent limp dick and for Diane to experience the pain of mild to moderate tinnitus, but I don’t want them seriously hurt.

Kyle: I better make some calls.

Phyllis: Need this?

Kyle: I won’t even ponder why my phone is in your possession.

Nate: The fuck is your problem, Audra? I finally have a job where someone is willing to passionately kiss my butt cheeks, and you were supposed to put on some lip gloss and get to puckering.

Audra: Pardon?

Nate: Why’d you tell Elena that Victoria was planning a hostile takeover of my pants?

Audra: I merely described a textbook sexual harassment scenario in precise detail. I could call her up and give her the straight dope.

Nate: She’s already got me.

@@@@@@

Victoria: Elena! I thought you were having a special evening with Nate.

Elena: Had a long shift at the hospital today. Nick got another Lego stuck up his nose, and while I was extracting that, I found a partially digested Flintstones vitamin. Dino, I think. I was going to hit the hay, but then I felt like some tea.

Victoria: I’m going to do a weird flex and say put it on my tab. Billionaires always run tabs at small cafes.

Elena: Nah. I’m ready to throw down in the battle of ‘who can compliment Nate the most’. I’ll let you go first.

Victoria: Nate has counted to infinity. Twice. He popped a wheelie on a unicycle. Nate doesn’t so much turn on a light when he enters a room as he turns off the dark.

Elena: Did you notice that Nate doesn’t wear a watch? He decides what time it is. His belly button is actually a power outlet. He once lit our fireplace with an ice cube.

Victoria: I can Google Chuck Norris jokes all day.

Elena: Bored now. Bye.

@@@@@@

Jack: That was Kyle. He said Stark was headed for Paris to pummel me with bread.

Diane: Why would he go there? There’s a decent bakery at our Whole Foods.

Jack: Well, let’s go home, my love. I’m busting to vomit love and rainbows and flowers all over everyone.

Diane: Okay, but I’m not sold on Stark traveling to Europe.

Jack: Kyle said he confirmed it with his friend at the airport.

Diane: The agent who was on probation for selling moob scans on Reddit? Not sure I trust him.

@@@@@@@

Summer: I don’t think Stark left. In fact, I think my mom lied and she accepted his offer.

Kyle: I was totally just thinking that too. Hey, I bet your mom was the one who downloaded all that hat porn on my phone.

Jack: Kids, I’m glad you’re here. We have news. Urgent news. That sounds bad, but it’s actually not, unless you think I make terrible decisions when it comes to relationships.

Kyle: This is my perplexed face.

Jack: I proposed to Diane. Lucky me, she accepted.

Kyle: This is my ‘father in law crop dusted me’ face.

@@@@@@

Elena: I came to the office to apologize. Again. Your feelings, of course, are paramount.

Nate: I’m glad we’re in agreement.

Elena: I just worry that you’ll get overworked or something will happen and we’ll end up in that bad place again.

Nate: Okay, it was a bad idea to buy fried clams out of some dude’s trunk in the Target parking lot. We’ll go somewhere better for our next picnic. Ah shit, I gotta take this call.

Victoria: Hello, Natey Nate Nate. Audra had given me intel on your whereabouts, but then I ran into Elena who told me you would be alone and unprotected. I thought we could meet about McCall. I need some hard numbers. My spreadsheet is ready.

Nate: Stay tuned for my performance of Loyal Boyfriend. Please don’t fire me.

@@@@@@@

Phyllis: It’s done. Jack and Diane know you’re on your way to Paris. Mwah ha ha.

Jeremy: It’s such an adrenaline rush to make people believe you’re on another continent.

Phyllis: No doubt they’ll be rushing back home. What now?

Jeremy: You need to suck up to the Abbotts and get access to the house. We’ll need a couple of Diane’s personal items. Something that unquestionably belongs to her. I hope a producer is running clips of her admiring her engagement ring. Anvils don’t drop on viewers’ heads on their own.

Phyllis: No way. No way.

Jeremy: Whatever. I got people for that.

Phyllis: You don’t send a common criminal to do a master deviant’s job. It’ll be much safer if I handle the felony work. 

[Aurora2]

@NinjaPenguins thank you!  I'm moving away from Y&R, but I don't think I can move completely away from this page - especially posts like these 

[gingerella]

So Natey Nate Nate is a gaslighter now?!? Fuck him. 

[Waldo13]

Hey Cruella, can’t you send Natey Nate Nate an email with follow up notes instead of having to see him in person. Is eye fucking the new “afternoon delight”?  Natey Nate Nate you are a bold face lier. It’s already become personal and Natey Nate Nate knows any time he wants Cruella he can have her.

Talking about bold face liars, Copperhead is at the top of the list.  Copperhead has two tells when she’s lying. First her lips are moving and second is that she says that she has no reason to lie. Tell me Copperhead that if Stark is on parole, how can he go out of the country besides not having  passport.  So now the monkeys with a keyboard doubled down on stupid with Stark chartering a flight to Paris and Kyle actually buying Copperheads explanation, of how she knows about Stark, hook line and sinker.  The monkeys with a keyboard must love to play ping pong because they have a propensity to portray characters like they are “bi-poller”.  Just when you think that their head is up their ass, they come back into the light and are able to make a reasonable conclusion on what really is happening. 

Cruella, under the guise of breaking up Devon and Tucker, would have no qualms about breaking up Natey Nate Nate and Elena. Cruella actually thinks that she is performing a service because it’s not meant to be in the first place. 

I’m quite sure Elena and Audra see through Cruella’s facade about Natey Nate Nate. His  protestation, with Audra, Natey Nate Nate has guilt pangs or he wouldn’t try so hard to deflect on Audra’s meddling.  In addition, Cruella wouldn’t be singing Natey Nate Nate’s attributes, to Elena, if there was just a professional relationship. Elena is not that stupid where she doesn’t see that Cruella’s face gives it away that she wants more than a professional relationship.  It seems that Elena may be choosing heart over head. 

Did it seem to you that Copperhead actually had an organism after Stark saying it was a brilliant idea on bringing her on board and Copperhead said it was his most brilliant idea, mastermind what’s next (sigh).  

Are we to believe that Copperhead can ingratiate herself with the Abbots to steal Diane’s personal items?  Of course she can because Copperhead is a snake.

So Natey Nate Nate is a gaslighter now?!? Fuck him. 

I try to like him (mostly because I hate Devon), but Sidepart makes it so difficult. He is straight up lying in this woman’s face. Kissing her five minutes after he had his tongue down another woman’s throat. Just vile stuff. Oh wait, he and Devon do have something in common. The way this will end up crashing and burning for Nate will be Hindenburg-esque.

Speaking of degenerate liars, the Dumpster Humper has reached a new low. She’s been lying so often for so long that literally no one takes anything she says at face value. Jeremy Stark would’ve been better off enlisting Mrs. Martinez in his shenanigans. No one ever sees her coming. Or leaving. Or at all.

If she wasn’t being a Grade A b-word to Sally, I might actually feel sorry for Summer. She’s surrounded by insane people. Has Jack bought adjoining burial plots for himself and Diane?

@NinjaPenguins thank you!  I'm moving away from Y&R, but I don't think I can move completely away from this page - especially posts like these 

I spent last week with "fambly" (thanks, Phyllis). When I tuned in all hopeful today, after a week off, the MWT's and the cast quickly kicked my hopes to the curb  The actors playing Victoria, Elena, Nate, Stark have less animation than my Boston Fern. They all look and act like they are waiting for the Coast Guard to rescue them off a slowly sinking ship. Oh, and Phyllis instructing a psychopathic career criminal that when he goes in on his plot to wreak vengeance on Diane, that no member of her family should be hurt? Sure, Phyllis. Lay down with a dog, your whole family is going to end up with fleas.
