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

[One Tough Cookie]

I am going to polish my Fashion Police badge, re watch the show and give everyone my report.  There were some real crimes against fashion that must be punished.

eta: I would love to see Tucker {who is fast becoming one of me faves} spend an evening with Chelsea and listen to the running commentary in his brain.

Now I'm wondering if it was Gloria who redecorated the Abbott's house?  And has Jill really been going by Jill Abbott for decades?  She was Jill Atkinson for a while, and I thought she was all about being Jill Fenmore now?

Victoria should wear her hair wavy more often. I think that's the best I've seen her look since AH took over this role. 

So far this Gala feels like a Newman ass kissing fest with some Neil worship sprinkled in. That's been the overall theme of the show for a long time now. The only difference between the Gala & any given Tuesday or Wednesday episode are the masks & the ball attire. Here's hoping things will pick up on Monday(who am I kidding?). It'll still be nice to see Chance, Nina, and Esther. 

This is random but the more I think of it, the more Chance & Elena seem like a good idea after all. If only because all other alternatives, besides them both being single, just suck that badly. If Victoria & Audra have their way Elena will be free soon enough. And good for Elena. Those two are far more deserving of Nate than she is.

Speaking of which, I think Elena is the best dressed thus far. 💯

[SweePea59]

I caught the part of The Talk on Friday with CLB and TB. And something was mentioned at the end of their segment on the show about Monday night at 8. Is there going to be a night time episode?

Jill Foster." Mamie coming in hot! But it is weird to me that Jill decided to use Abbott as her last name. Why not Chancellor?

I thought her last name would be Atkinson since she was last with Colin? I know she married Philip Chancellor on his deathbed, but Katherine had it delcared invalid. Was it ever made legitimate. This is stretching my memory too much.

I had read that and forgotten about it. Monday, March 27 at 8:00 on CBS and Paramount Plus.

My mother said Jack and Nikki were on The Price is Right. Maybe Phyllis was a spokesmodel. 

[basiltherat]

Yeah, Phyllis can replace Yodelly Guy and go over the Matterhorn!

I thought the reason HK and MM got let go was because they wanted more $$$$ - apparently MM caved because he's back as Kyle

HK will never do much as her similar sister is way more talented. HK can polish her DT Emmys.

I just had a thought: maybe Sally will lose the baby if there is a bombing.

 

Is Summer going to crash into Sally since she hates her with Daddy. Wouldn't be the first time she kills Adam's kid. Maybe she needs a new car.

[Stpauliegirl]

Doesn’t Devon own the GCAC? He used to and I don’t recall him selling it. If so, don’t you think he would be aware of any renovations that were going on? Like remodeling a conference room into a homage to your father?

He did sell it a while back.  All I remember is an offhand remark.  There was never any mention of Victor buying it, though, which leaves the question as to how Victor can assure anyone that it's going to exist in perpetuity.

@JoimiaroxeuWe need a last minute substitution on the Swethe16 list for Chance & Elena!!!

[Joimiaroxeu]

^^^ Lol, have Elena and Chance even met? I doubt he could pick her out of a lineup.

I dunno, if Elena dumps Nate I think I'd like see her go kinda wild and pursue Adam. Adam would be the one guy besides Devon who would upset Nate. Now, that said, I want Adam to stay in love with Sally but he and Elena could agree to have a revenge relationship for a while. Yeah, that's the ticket! 😉

[MissAlmond]

I heard there was a Y&R 50th anniversary gala, so I left my seat at the bar (haven't forgotten my promised unlimited tab) and decided to take a peek.  My thoughts:

1) Who are these people?

2) The 100th anniversary of Geona City yet (apparently) not a Brooks family member in sight?

3) Yay to seeing Leanna Love and Maime! As a side note, thank you Maime for mentioning smartly investing, therefore increasing, your money. IRL celebrity talk, so many seem to think whatever figure a celebrity may have made in the past remains stagnant. 

4) Thrilled Lauren and Michael are still a couple.

5) I don't know who the man Ashley is with, but I'm happy she took my advice and it’s not Victor.

6) My sheltering in place interlude taught me many are sick of Victor/Nikki. But for me, this is a correct pairing so I'm glad they're together.

7) From the looks on the actor's faces and the catches in some of their voices when mentioning Neil, I surmise Kristoff St. John's death still weighs heavily on the cast. 

8) The show tried but (IMO) if Bill Bell were still alive this anniversary gala would have been 🔥.

Back to your regularly scheduled posters.

Had to laugh at the way Jill sort of rolled her eyes at Mamie saying she was now worth $10M. Jill probably has spent that much on clothes.

But it also made me think about Abby, Victoria, and Nick. They each got $150M $500M from Victor when they sued him for their trust funds. I know Nick gave most of his money away but Abby and Victoria should both be billionaires by now, right? The only investment Abby has made is in Society. She doesn't have her own home except the one Brad left her, and she doesn't have a private jet. Dominic's expenses are likely shared between Abby, Devon, and Chance.

I don't know what Victoria spends her money on because her house is nothing special and neither are her clothes. She doesn't have a private jet or a vacation home (except the villa in Italy which her parents gave her). Her kids go in and out of boarding school but Billy has to be helping out with that. She was the owner of the Gloomy Punchbowl for a minute but someone bought her out.

So why do we never hear that Abby and Victoria are also billionaires?

It's even worse.  They each got 500 million.  They must be billionaires by now.  

Victoria certainly doesn't spend much on food or home decor and Abby hasn't busted the bank trying to get any smarter.  I'm sure Nick held back enough to keep him in bananas and jock itch powder for the rest of his life.

[CountryGirl]

Tucker honest-to-goodness yawned, ya’ll. 

My sentiments, exactly. 

[SweePea59]

Has there even been a mention of Moses? He is old enough to attend a gala and an event honoring his father and besides his college is probably on spring break.

[SweePea59]

So wait, they still have Kyle's phone? Most people Kyle's age can't go five minutes without their phone, and they use it for work. I must be misunderstanding what's going on with Kyle's phone. 

And did I see that bad guy Jeremy slap a kick me sign on Jack's back while Jack and Diane Jenkins were dancing?

[CountryGirl]

I loved how Elena sidled up to Nate and Mop and planted one on her man while Mop had to sit there and watch. I wouldn't mind seeing her and Audra teaming up to take the smug, privileged bitch down a peg or twenty.

While I love Jill (and Jess), I loved Tucker's sorrynotsorry attitude towards her with the most insincere apology of all time. 

This is the stuff of nightmares.

 

[NinjaPenguins]

Summer: What’s been your favorite part of the evening?

Kyle: Looking like Robin from Batman. And your grandparents’ speech.

Summer: Seriously? I zoned out.

Kyle: Talking about how Genoa City is a great place to raise your kids… it spoke to me. I’m glad we came home, that a MILF I knocked up went to jail and that Dad gives us free room and board.

Summer: Milan was amazing. But there were too many haberdashers there.

Kyle: To all the hats I’ve loved before…

@@@@@@@

Diane: I’ll start with the garden salad, house dressing on the side-

Jack: May I have this dance?

Diane: Oh, Jack. I thought you’d never ask.

Michael: They do make a striking couple. Good for them.

Lauren: Yeah, the waiter and the Christmas ornament. I’d like to be happy for them, but it is Diane…

Michael: They know what they’re doing. They’ve been around the block. They’ve been around the barn. They’ve circumnavigated the bakery.

Lauren: What the fuck are you talking about?

@@@@@@

Victor: Baby. Baby baby baby. Baby. This is the evening you dreamed of.

Nikki: indeed. Look at the tens of people dancing. And we hung up a picture of Neil. I believe the kids would call this epic.

Victor: Baby, let’s dance. Slowly, baby. So slowly we appear to be simply holding each other up. Baby.

@@@@@@

Chelsea: I’m so nervous. If I fart in there, will it be recognized as perfume?

Billy: Oh, I thought you were nervous that the mags would describe your dress as a sequined turd.

Chelsea: Billy, you’ve had five people come up and hand you their car keys.

Billy: Fair. Look, I’ll be by your side the whole night. If you suddenly realize someone isn’t gushing over you, we’ll leave. Now raise that sparkling shit mask high.

@@@@@@@

Sharon: That walk was nice. But you were avoiding Sally and Nick, right?

Adam: Every time I interact with them, Nick juts out his chin like he took face Viagra. He scratches under his arms, whips his pants off and sticks his flaming red ass in the air.

Sharon: The situation makes us all uncomfortable. Especially the audience.

@@@@@@

Audra: Damn, Victoria didn’t waste any time.

Elena: Shut it, Sleeves and watch me work. Hello there.

Nate: Holy crap you look hot.

Elena: Though it’s beneath me, I will now kiss you so as to mark my territory.

Victoria: Message received.

@@@@@@@

Phyllis: I bet those two dopes are planning to announce their stupid engagement in front of that handful of people down there. Fuckers. I don’t care about Jack though.

Jeremy: We need to get that damn ring and throw it in Mount Doom.

Phyllis: Jack put it in his pocket. I guess I could feel him up.

Jeremy: Leave it to me.

@@@@@@@

Victoria: Cut the shit, Tucker. I want something solid from you.

Tucker: I’m saving that for Ashley.

Victoria: I don’t know which of you two assholes is being more deceptive.

Ashley: Why don’t you find out. Over there.

@@@@@@@

Chelsea: I hope I haven’t been too much of a blatherskite. I’ve just had a zillion ideas zooming around my head like overcaffeinated hummingbirds. Do you think they’ll work within the mental health framework we’re developing?

Daniel: I love your ideas. Thanks for sharing them, texting them, emailing them, calling me at two in the morning with them, leaving them under my windshield wipers and writing them in the steam on my bathroom mirror while I’m showering.

Chelsea: Fabulous. What’s the timeline?

Daniel: Until I regret bringing you on board? Five seconds.

@@@@@@@

Leanna: Esther Valentine! I didn’t recognize you without your maid uniform on.

Esther: Leanna. I thought this party was for the GC elite.

Leanna: They let you in.

Esther: I’m a mover and shaker at Chancellor Winters.

Leanna: Oh, I hear Devon and Lily have some major ish going on. Care to share? No?

@@@@@@

Lily: Let’s go somewhere and talk. We owe it to the memory of our beloved father, whose unnerving stare will live forever on that wall there.

Devon: I guess. Not sure what more we have to say.

Lily: The IPO is dead. The backstabbing biznatches are at Newman now. There are no obstacles to us running CW as a Wonder Twins business dream team.

Devon: Except for the nasty things you said to me. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words give me a purple nurple.

Lily: I’m sorry. I let my anger get the better of me. You don’t know what it’s like listening to Billy Abbott trying to become a real boy for months.

Devon: Maybe I should have been more honest about my attachment to Dad’s company. Also, it occurs to me that there are no backsies with corporate contracts.

Lily: Hiring Amanda was probably not my finest hour. She really went in on you.

Devon: Probably I should not have cheated on her. Hey, this is Dad’s favorite song. Dominic’s too.

Lily: It’s a sign! Neil has spoken.

Devon: I guess I have no choice but to drop this lawsuit. That was a lot of pointless angst, huh?

@@@@@@

Michael: Wow. They’re not even trying to hide how in love they are. It’s out there for everyone to see.

Lauren: Jack pitching a tent was not on my gala bingo card.

Michael: Let’s challenge them to a dance off while he’s incapacitated.

@@@@@@

Jill: Tucker McCall. You attempted to kill my company. Prepare to die.

Tucker: Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.

Jill: Planting moles to spy on us. The nerve! But we were too smart for you. We caught you.

Tucker: You didn’t catch shit. That was my kid.

Jill: Chancellor is stronger than ever.

Tucker: So is my turtleneck game.

@@@@@@@

Victoria: Daaad. Ashley and Tucker are being all snooty with me.

Victor: We must accept that Tucker McCall has played us. By not giving in to our ceaseless demands, he has outmaneuvered the great Victor Newman. It reminds me of a certain gambit I saw play out during the War of 1812.

Adam: Y’all talking McCall?

Victoria: Daaad. Tell Adam I don’t want to play right now.

Adam: Elena stole your favorite dolly, not me.

Victoria: This is a private conversation.

Adam: In the middle of a lightly populated room. You each want to buy McCall but have different visions for it.

Victoria: And neither one of them have anything to do with you. You’ll never be CEO, sucker.

Victor: We’re all working toward the same goal. Hopefully, son, you won’t notice that I failed to confirm or deny Victoria’s statement.

Adam: Don’t worry. I never learn.

Victor: Even though I’ve always enjoyed setting you kids against one another and watching you scramble like crabs in a bucket, it’s starting to piss me off tonight. We could rule the damn world! I have a giant map in my underground lair all carved up into different Newman-stans.
@@@@@@@

Elena: The Neil Winters jazz club. That’s very nice.

Nate: Very. It touched Lily and Devon deeply.

Elena: Maybe they’ll be moved to repair their relationship. I didn’t know Neil, but from what I hear, it’s fair game to claim he would have wanted it.

Nate: Huh?

Elena: If you must know what the Newmans are discussing, feel free to go join them.

Nate: There’s a big deal coming up.

Elena: Whatever. I’m going to mingle like a single.

@@@@@

Billy: Am I grounded?

Jill: No. I just came over to find out why you didn’t tell me about Lily dumping you.

Billy: I sent a nostrilgram.

Jill: You and Chelsea, huh? I didn’t realize you were coming together. Did both egos fit in the car?

Billy: We’re friends. There may be a benefits package involved. We’ll see.

Jill: Johnny tells me he enjoys spending time with you both. Perhaps it’s time to consider sending him to a therapist.

@@@@@@@

Jack: Someone rudely shoved me aside! It must be Jeremy Stark, the mannerless oaf.

Diane: His lack of etiquette is insanely dangerous. We should announce our engagement immediately.

Jack: Absolutely. Let me just apprise security of Jeremy’s dastardly rudeness. They probably didn’t notice the commoner in gray velour surreptitiously gadding about the room.

Diane: I’ll come too.

Jack: Just set your lady brain at ease and wait here.

Phyllis: Boo.

Diane: Ahhhhhhh!

Phyllis: It’s me, dumbass.

Diane: AHHHHHHHHH! The bride of Ronald McDonald!

Phyllis: Your son is… sick. He’s up in my suite with Summer.

Diane: I am not a child who can be lured into a van with the promise of candy, creeper.

Phyllis: Fine. You caught me. Your son actually got his dick stuck in his mask. He said it was hat adjacent and was giving him a come hither look all night.

Diane: Why hasn’t he called a doctor?

Phyllis: He’s too embarrassed, duh. Come up so we can all convince him to get medical help.

Diane: I’ll just text Kyle and see if you’re lying. How’s dat mask?

Jeremy looks down at Kyle’s phone, which he has once again misplaced.

Diane: No answer.

Phyllis: Would you want to text your mother with a mask dangling off the wrong stick? Look, it’s Room 666. I won’t even follow you.

Phyllis lied. Leanna be nosy.

Elena: You know, Audra, I think you might be on to something with interviewing JT  for my podcast.

Audra: I got more up these puffy sleeves than arms, girlfriend.

[CountryGirl]

@NinjaPenguins, I am dead from laughter.

I thought the exact.same.thing about it looking like MTS was holding EB upright as he looked like he was a strong breeze away from falling over. 

I loved Elena's calling Nate out on his obvious ogling of Mop and giving him the excuse of being interested in Newman's shenanigans. She is far too hot and he is not enough hot for her to be giving him this much grace.

I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I'm Team Devon in the Hamilton Winters feud. She killed his wife and unborn child. That he is even allowing her to breathe the same air as him is more than she deserves.

 

[Waldo13]

Lauren Lauren Lauren is another GC resident with a very short memory. Didn’t Micheal give you a second chance after you cheated?  Didn’t you worm yourself back into Michael’s heart?  So why can’t Jack forgive Diana and be back in his heart?  While we are on the subject, how many times has Victor forgave Nikki for all her transgressions.  

Natey Nate Nate trying to decide what to about Cruella, for me it would be like trying to choose Cruella, with a dark heart and prepubescent body over Elena, with a beautiful heart and body.  

What a bummer!  We are going to have to wait until tomorrow for the confrontation of the century 😜.  

When Chelsea entered the GCAC I thought that her makeup looked strange plus her dress was awful. On the other hand Christine looked very attractive in-spite of her ugly dress. 

Lauren and Michael were in charge of the food and drink. So far I’ve seen the drink but where is the food. 

It looks less and less that Devon is going to buy MU thus setting up Cruella vs Adam and Victor.  If Adam gets to run MU, then he can offer Sally a job as his COO.

Your official Fashion Police update only, still sorting out the various offenders} For the win--obviously Elena--class and style all the way.  Summer's dress was nice, but i would have preferred it in a more of a blush color

Stay tuned for further updates.

@NinjaPenguins There is nothing  to say.  Better than the actual show! thanx.

[Desperado]

Anyone watching the nighttime show? It’s fun so far.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Did Nate ever explain why he arrived at the party without Elena? I don't know how she didn't pop him upside the head instead of kissing him. He was flirting with his boss, in public!

Whee, Michael called Jill a legendary GC ho right to her face. She owned it too!

Geez, Leanna, take no for an answer. You're just humiliating yourself, grubbing for gossip like a middle school mean girl.

I can't with Billy and Daniel wearing matching a matching jackets and no one commenting on it.

My guy Tucker continued to be hilarious. Too bad even he couldn't salvage this dreadful event.

Today we learned that Paul is retired as chief of the GCPD and vacationing in Portugal. Not dead yet! 😉

Nate, the only deal in the works for you is how soon you can get naked with Victoria without Elena finding out. Shut up.

Jill, you didn't catch on to Audra and Tucker's scheme, you were told about it. And the person you really need to cuss out is Victoria.
 
Why are Mariah and Tessa still in Portland? Can the infant they adopted not travel? Baby No Name will be graduating from GCU at this rate.

I didn't expect Jill to be so gracious toward Chelsea. Guess she's not aware of how manipulative Chelsea has been with Johnny and Billy.

OH PLEASE. Diane is not gullible enough to buy Phyllis' lies. She should've just dialed 9-1-1 and/or called Jack. And WTAF, Kyle stays losing his freaking phone.

Don't do it Devon. I think Lily has been fighting more for her job and for Jill than her relationship with you. Hope the bygones don't turn into regrets.

After Elena said she'd changed her mind about interviewing JT for her podcast, Audra made a teeth-sucking sound. All I'm going to say is I am way surprised Y&R let Zuleyka Silver do that, assuming they knew beforehand. (Or know what it means.) 🤯

[Desperado]

“Sequins burn under the armpits” is a sentence I did not expect to hear. 🤣

”You don’t want to take your shirt off, go be a roofer.” Agree!

The ball masks took a month to make? They have 9 people working on costumes, so much stuff in inventory and yet we see such ugly things. 🤔

No Sally, no Adam, no Elena, too much Victor, Chelsea, Billy, Nate. Won’t mention the two detested characters here (N&P) because I don’t mind them.

Peter Bergman sure is a crier. 😂

They gave Jeanne Cooper’s dressing room to Amelia. Mmm…

The Kristoff St-John stuff was nice, he is definitely still missed by many cast members.

[boes]

I don't think Kyle, doofus that he is, misplaced his phone this time.  There was a momentary scene where Jeremy brushed by Kyle and I think the Big Bad pickpocketed it then, just the way he brushed by Jack and managed to get the ring.  Wouldn't be great if instead of lifting the ring, Jeremy finds out he lifted Jack's emergency pack of rolaids?

When Chelsea was blathering nonstop to Daniel about her video game ideas, why didn't Daniel jab a fork into her forehead?  In fact, I don't understand why there weren't a lot of silverware attack incidents at this Chuck E. Cheese "You're 200 years old" party.  No jury would convict, especially if Christine decides to become the D.A again.

The only thing worse than Phyllis all dressed up and in a mask is

when she takes it off.  Um, Diane, don't go to her room.

Daniel and Summer think they might have been too harsh??  Really???  Phyllis and Victor are the only two inhabitants of Genoa City who have a lifetime VIP pass to the Hell Mouth.

Devon, enough with the whining that Lily was a big meanie to hire Amanda.  She was the logical choice, since she's the one who created the contract you're now trying to get out of.  He whines like he's a Newman.  Grow the F up.

Lily, look up what a family company is, because you don't work for one.  You're an employee of Chancellor/Winters, not the Princess of Asshole Land.

   By the way, lil' Dom isn't dancing because he likes the music.  He's dancing because he's getting read to pee his diaper.  Talk about seeing what you want to see......

I'm hoping Dominic's first words are "Unless you got a jazz version of 'The Wheels on the Bus go Round and Round', enough with this nonsense. And I don't care what Neil would have wanted."

Meanwhile, the King of the Underworld is squatting like a giant toad in one of the GCAC leather chairs, playing a mental game of Risk with his Number One daughter and Wicked Witch of the West lookalike, while they look at Adam like a tasty snack as Tucker reads the room, vainly searching for something, anything, interesting enough to stay awake for.

So what are Jeremy and Clarabelle the Cow going to do to Diane?  Drug her and dress her up as a milkmaid caught in a compromising position with a heifer?  Tie her to chair and drive her insane by making her watch Phyllis change from a part-humanoid into a bat?  Force her to mock, on tape, Kyle's obsession with Big Hair?  

The possibilities are endless.

2.) It took a month of arts and crafts therapy sessions at the local mental institution to make those masks.

Nate explained that he didn't arrive with Elena because she hadn't finished her shift at the hospital yet.

I freaking loved the dismissive attitude Ashley and Tucker were throwing Victoria's way.  That's how everyone should deal with her.  Tushley are my new favorite couple.

I had a bunch of detailed comments about the 50th anniversary special but my tablet was about to burst into flames so I deleted it.

Good lord what steaming pile of bovine excrement. And a few straight up lies. Are TPTB trying to corner the market on gaslighting?

And again, it was interesting who was front and center, and who was mostly or completely left out.

No joke. I think he also might want to do us all a favor and keep his mouth shut from now on. He's so far up his own a$$ it's a wonder he can sit down.

[MsMalin]

I know Elena was late because of her hospital shift but I think it was really crappy  of Nate  not to escort her to the gala. Was it so important of him to go to CL? 

 

[Chatty Cake]

How can Nate cozy up to Victorias with Elena there? They haven’t broken up yet have they? What a jerk!
Of course Diane is going to fall into Phyllis’s trap. You would think someone who faked their own death for years would have a little, just a little, common sense.

Edited March 28, 2023 by Chatty Cake

[CountryGirl]

JM's crack about loving doing scenes "naked" explains so much. 

No Sally/CH or Adam/MG? That's pretty much bullshit. And this is no shade at the vets, whom I enjoyed seeing, especially the obvious affection they have for each other and the joking around. 

[Tippi]

Glad to see that Y&R got some primetime exposure.  Did they mention John Abbott/Jerry Douglas? 

Young MTS and young Katherine Kelly Lang looked a lot alike, at least to my weary eyes.  And PB resembled Richard Chamberlain--not a bad thing at all!

So there are actually stylists that go and pick out these outfits for the actresses????  I think the actresses give them a bunch of instructions on how they want to look and that's what the stylists bring back.

Sucking teeth is “the gesture of drawing air through the teeth and into the mouth to produce a loud sucking sound” which is used to express “disgust, defiance, disapproval, disappointment, frustration or impatience.

I totally stole from Google.

I just watched the special.  Overall, I think it was pretty good.

But sorry, Ashley, you didn't have the first abortion on daytime, not by a long shot.  That milestone goes to Erica Kane of Pine Valley, AMC, 14 years earlier.  

MCE and JT certainly talked up their recent storyline about Chelsea's mental illness.  They couldn't say enough about the positive fan response on social media.  Good thing they didn't read the comment on here or that bubble would burst.

Nobody could ever claim Eric Braeden or Josh Morrow don't have strong egos, going by their contributions to this tribute.

Maybe Eileen was referring to the first one that stayed an abortion unlike the AMC retconn.

Well . . . so far . .  (don't tell the writer(s) or Stark might be the bouncing baby psycho!)

No kidding! It was very off-putting. And I will never understand how Eric Braeden became to be-all, end-all of leading men on this show. He was skeevy AF back then and hasn't gotten any better.

Chloe looks great.

Phyllis is pure projection. Her narcissism and megalomania is disturbing, repulsive and disgusting. I really wish they would just kill her off. This character is simply incapable of self-reflection, and I seriously doubt she will face any comeuppance. There's enough of these people in real life; it would be nice to have a break from this type in my entertainment.

Also, Nick rubbing Sally's stomach? Puke.

Why are Mariah and Tessa still in Portland? Can the infant they adopted not travel? Baby No Name will be graduating from GCU at this rate.

Or Oregon State.  The way this story is going offends me to no end.  Whether it is the network party line or the monkey on the typewriter's idea, or even totally unintentional, this story comes off as being very homophobic.  It's a soap, people.  You have brothers banging and knocking up the same woman, you have Michael alluding to some pretty graphic sexual exploits of Jill, you have Sharon married to someone in different generations of some of the elite families.  But we can't have a same-sex, committed, loving couple adopt a baby on screen?  Shame on you, Show.

Just wanted to add that Chloe looks great.

I'm not a regular viewer of GH having said that the same thing could be said for that show in regards to the male characters who seemingly became to-be-all, end-all of leading men. One character was a rapist and the other is a mobster. It's been rumored for a long time that Anthony Geary had disdain for Gene Francis and was very unhappy having to be paired with her. That lead to Laura/Genie getting the shit end of the stick as a character and an actress.

Loved Diane finally slapped the crap out of Phyllis after that very accurate rendition of what she truly is! Maybe it's just me, but the actress playing Phyllis seemed very subdued, and slightly sedated in these scenes. It was almost as if she had no energy for scenes where another actress was finally getting a chance of being the dominating presence. Devon sure was looking up to Abby today, lol. Hated the hypocrisy of Nate being all elated with Lily and Devon re-uniting as if that somehow erased his backstabbing past with them both. Finally a shout out to Katherine Chancellor, kind of the opinion TPTB should resurrect Neil Winters and her as recurring cast members to address the show's current obvious financial constraints. No wardrobe, no stylists, no hairdressers, no lines to write for them, no salaries, they would be perfect! Just prop up their pictures, and let it roll!

Perhaps but Ashley's abortion still wasn't the first in daytime soaps. It was a ludicrous claim for Y&R to make without explaining how they arrived at that conclusion. Plus, Erica Kane's wasn't even the first, it was only the first after the Roe v. Wade decision.

It is a practice that originated in tribal Africa and is currently also used in certain Latino/Hispanic cultures which are Afro-adjacent. I don't want to get further into it unless Audra does it again, or any of the Black characters do it. The context would matter.

No, it's generally not a common thing in the US except among certain immigrant groups, or in media which depicts those groups.

Lily’s dress did absolutely nothing for her.  Bad color, design and fabric.  Waiting for Chloe’s boobs to flop out of that weird black dress.  Sally was worried that people would see her “baby bump” in that dress, but in all honesty, her behind looked 8 months along.  I didn’t see a hint of a tummy sticking out.  Sharon looked lovely, and Elena is so much more everything than Mop.  The more mature women  looked fantastic and appropriately dressed for their age.
 

What will be the response by Jack, Kyle and Summer when seeing Diane choking Phyllis?  They didn’t see the pre-choke fight.  

[Chatty Cake]

I bet Phyllis is going to fake her death and make it seem like Diane murdered her. That’s what Jeremy’s been carrying around. Fake death serum.

I know a conservative, so called Christian who doesn't like the storyline.

Did they mention John Abbott/Jerry Douglas? 

They did not. If he was in clips, I missed it. No, we had to have notBilly and Idon'tcareaboutChelsea boring people to death. I'm glad Leanna Love bothered her. They could've mentioned him when talking to one of the actors who play the Abbott children. 

[Gam2]

I thought Elena looked sensational all the way around. Also Diane. Sharon acted like she was drunk.  Also acted that way when she was on the one hour special Sunday night.Perhaps it’s Xanax or something similar?
