Instead of Lily always having to have these ponderous conversations with ButtBiscuit about his idiocy, how about Show just let her shoot him with paint balls every time he opens his mouth.

So fucking sick of the Manpain and Gaspy Show.

Amen to that, Peaches. I don’t care one whit for either one of these characters or their story. Move to Kansas.

[Joimiaroxeu]

TMW you use "hang" as a noun, your less hip but more suave older brother uses it back at you as a verb, and you can barely contain your stupid smugness. 😒

So are Victoria and the kids still living in the tack house? Why? She has a perfectly fine home and she's no longer under any threat from Billy or Amanda's psycho ex. Plus, Johnny and Katie must miss their neighborhood playmates.

She sold off the cosmetics and media divisions at fair market value? Man, Victoria really wanted to put a virtual shiv in Victor's gut. He would've charged Jack and Billy a premium just for sh!ts and grins. If he had sold to them at all.

Geez, Chelsea. Adam is a walking, talking emotional pressure cooker right now. Ease up. Your gasping is sucking all the air out of the room and that won't help his brain function well.

Billy as the elder statesman who'll mentor bad boy Theo? Pssht. Theo might as well get mentored by George Costanza.

Wait, does Rey think Adam was abused by that AJ guy? Where would he have gotten that from? Oy, that's potentially an even bigger can of worms, especially if Victor has known all this time.

Wonder if Billy has an OnlyFans page? When he was convoing with Jack he had his legs spread wide open in front of a laptop which likely had a webcam. Yeah, I notice stuff like that. Come at me, ya freak. 😐

Aw, Jack getting wistful about not having romance in his life. With Courtney Hope coming soon (she's the actress who until recently played Sally on B&B), I sure hope they don't plan to move her character into that slot. She's too young for Jack, IMO. I'd rather see him with someone closer to his own age.

I think Sharon's right, Rey should leave Adam's mess alone. AFAIC it's bad enough Sharon is involved. Plus, Rey has no jurisdiction over a crime committed in KS. 😏

OMFG, Victoria, your tantrums about Victor and Adam have gotten beyond old. You "won," get over it. Anyway, running NE is not your birthright, you self-entitled princess. No matter how much you apparently want the world to believe it.

I'm glad Jack thought better of sending a bouquet of flowers to Victor. What's the point of rubbing it in that Victoria is spiteful? It's always going to be iffy for Abbotts to get in the middle of Newman family strife.

[Gam2]

I’ve never gotten on board with this Rey- the actor or the story line. He’s kind of white bread, boring, no expression, no passion kind of guy. I’m married to a retired detective and spent many years around a bunch of other detectives and believe me, they are never boring, no passion, no expression, white bread kind of guys. No bueno, Rey. Go back to Miami.

[Waldo13]

If I was Sharon, I would tell Rey to shut the fuck up and go to work. The time to worry about Sharon getting rest is when she’s going through her treatments. It can’t be that bad after the lumpectomy because there are no discernible bandages.  Plus if Sharon was hurting, should wouldn’t be able to cross her arms without pain. 

Olive Oly you got some nerve, after dismantling part of Newman to use the facilities of the ranch like you own that also. Call your mother and have her bring the kids there. 

Nostrils was right about Theo being too much like him. I can see them standing in front of their wagons in a three piece outfit with their top hats standing on a soap box selling Snake Oil in the late 19th century. 

What is Adam’s malfunction and why are TIIC trying to make Adam into something he’s really not.  Born violent, give me a break. Next we are going to hear Adam killed dogs, cats, and other small animals.  Adam is really a suppressed Dexter?  Chloe and Nostrils are more violent than Adam when, as adults, they tried to kill Adam to revenge DD.  

Sharon finally told Rey to STFU. Even if there was a crime, the statute of limitations is well over and even murder, without a statute of limitations, Adam would be tried as a juvenile and they can’t put him in juvenile detention center.  Rey you stupid fuck. You say that you care for Sharon but yelling at her and acting all judgmental is not helping her relax.

OK, who wears dresses like Philthy and Dumber did today?  Phylthy's dress is nothing short of hookerville.  Hey Phyl, we've seen plan A and plan B, it's time to put those 55 year olds into a dress that's not something that Debbie Does Dallas wears.  But it seems that Michelle Stafford likes looking like hooker-chic.  And Dumber, I don't think daddy needs to see the mammaries of his daughter.  

Time for Adam to stop feeling bad for himself and think of his son.  Connor is nutty  enough and he doesn't need disappearing daddy to take off again.  I don't feel sorry for Chelsea, because she's become a whiney bore, but Adam, again, is only thinking about bhimself.

[CountryGirl]

Another day I can tune in since it's a #Shadam day.

Love the looks between them here:

 I loved this bit of dialogue:

Adam: "Sharon...I've hurt you...over and over."

Sharon: “We’ve hurt each other...does that make me dark and toxic, too?”

Adam is quick to reassure her: “No, Sharon, you’re good.”

Sharon fires back: "So are you.”

Sharon convincing Adam to stay...and I am here for it!

Rey can do what @peacheslatour suggested and go back to Miami and he can take Lola and Theo with him. 

As for Gaspy McGasperson, well, are your grifter senses broken? Jack Abbott - patriarch of the Abbot clan - is casting about for a new Mrs. Abbott. What are you waiting for? Get yourself and your heaving bosom over there.

Why even bother with a new love interest for Jack when it has to be conducted six feet apart?  Or is the plan to bring in this (from what's stated) too young woman, have Jack wistfully long for her while keeping a social distance, then realizing it's a very bad idea.  A Y&R "If Only" Romance.  Coronavirus Style.

I wonder, is Jack's new love interest going to be Sally from B&B, who left the show and is coming to Y&R?   I hope not.  She's too young.

I thought Summer’s dress was really pretty except for the boobage issue, of course. So suitable for daytime in front of your father. And Phyllis. I particularly enjoyed the fat squishing out between the straps on the side. Enough, ENOUGH with the sex in the afternoon between these two icky people. Oh, guess I’d better be specific. Phyllis and Nick. Ick.

I don't need to see simulated sex on a soap. It's so fake looking and unattractive.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Mariah doesn't have a job. Is it a good idea for her to be running up her charge cards, even if it is on Sharon's behalf? Hmm, maybe her rock star (😒) girlfriend is covering the bills right now.

Theo apparently took his new shirt out of the packaging, shook it a couple of times, and put it on without even steaming the wrinkles and creases out. Yikes, are there no wardrobe people on set anymore?

Phyllis, you're also the "grand" in grandma. Seen your grandbaby Lucy lately? She's probably in middle school by now, talking sh!t about you on her finsta. 🙄

Well now, looks like Nick has been working out. Not so much dad bod.

Chelsea and Connor can't go to a hotel? They have to drive all the way out to the Newman ranch, after or close to his bedtime? Sure, he won't wonder what that's about at all. 😑

So anybody can just hang out in the Society's kitchen waiting to visit with an employee during their work shift? And WTF, does Mariah just zoom all over town handling everybody's life? As a busybody, she's on the verge of going pro.

TMW your mommy shows up dressed skankier than you. I guess Summer is used to by now though.

Lol, Nikki was like, "Don't get too cozy in the guest room, Chelsea. I'm not running a boarding house for ex-grifters who happen to have a Newman anchor baby." 🤗

IMO Nick was not wrong with that shade he threw at Kyle. How frikkin long does it take to get a divorce in WI? Kyle and Lola have been separated since the beginning of the year. One might wonder if he's playing both women by dragging it out.

I think Phyllis' threat to Kyle about the new cocktail she would name after him if he hurt Summer--again--mislanded. I really thought she was going to drop a Lorena Bobbitt reference but maybe the standards and practices people nixed it.

Heh, Sharon was thisclose to engaging the power of her cooch to keep Adam from leaving.

I liked Nikki's jacket. Wonder if it was Chanel or St. John, or a cheaper imitation? Interesting the way she dressed it down with the slacks.

Adam only wets his bed for those he really wuvs.  He comes armed with flowers, chocolates, and a rubber sheet.

But besides the bed wetting, what else is new here?  Yes, Adam is toxic, yes, Adam hurts everyone within geographic range, yes, Adam is a self-centered asshole, and Yes, Adam and ButtBiscuit are two sides of the same anal fistula.  Why is this suddenly news?

He's only two beers short of a murder six-pack and that's not counting Delia, which, was an accident.  There was the guy in Vegas, Richard Hightower, the doctor he pushed into traffic and this Montalvo plot contrivance.  Why, all of a sudden, is that giant stick he has up his ass ringing the theme song to Murder She Wrote?   

Adam is a loathsome guy, he always has been.  Forget murder, gaslighting Ashley, burning the fetus in the fireplace, stealing Sharon's baby, injecting his own eyes to look like he was going blind, seducing Rafe - and none of that even includes all the crap he's done to Victor, all of which Victor at least deserved.  All this gnashing of teeth and mea culpa's about what a horrible guy he is seems like nothing more than the biggest "Pay Attention to ME" boner he's ever had.  

Does Genoa City really need another ButtBiscuit?  Isn't one way more than enough?  

Oh yeah, Sharon......"Team Sharon" should put her in the penalty box and instead of bringing her goodies and plumping her pillows, let her take care of her own damn self.  If she's well enough to fluff Adam she's well enough to brew her own stupid herbal tea.  As for her psychiatric advice and counsel, I've gotten sounder and more well thought out advice from a fortune cookie.

What a treat, though, right? More Phyllis and Nick!  Gosh of golly GEE how I do love seeing Nick put his hands in pockets, manspread, raise his jaw and act like DA MAN.  Don't you?  Nothing says having a loving conversation with your daughter while scratching your balls after you skipped the talcum and powdered yourself with flea powder.  But then again, that flea powder smells mighty sweet after a night with Phyllis!

And we had to sit through those two, AND Summer and Kyle because.....they're moving in together?   And they want to buy Nick's unfinished house, the one we just today heard he was building.  Wow, what a storyline, pretty gripping stuff.  

Lola and Theo babbling about God knows what and Mariah flitting about town like Gladys Kravitz was almost a relief.  I said, ALMOST.

Again, though, Show, regarding Adam....why do we need another ButtBiscuit?  I don't even want the one we've got.

[boes]

On a partially unrelated note, both to the Show and and to my sanity, every time now that I hear "Phyllis and Nick", I start hearing 

"Kibble and Bits"

Kibble and Bits, everyone wants their Kibble and Bits".  No, not everyone.  

From here on out I might just start calling them that.  

Oh, this covid lockdown is not good for my remaining sanity.....

[Waldo13]

There is one very true statement by Sharon that holds so much water for me. Helping you would help me .... it would give me that extra bit of motivation to win this battle I’m fighting. My wife, after treatments, would go to work after taking a zofran pill, because it was a distraction from feeling sorry for herself. She knew her family loved her but she needed admiration from her customers (she was an interior designer) to make her feel good about herself and that she was helping others feel good about themselves also. 

If the Grand Phoenix was so fantastic, than why was the lobby empty and no one was at the desk. If Society was so fantastic, than why was Theo the only patron and Lola was the server. 

Can Banana Breath and Jessica Rabbit wash the love ick off their bodies before they get dressed?

Written in letters of fire and bronze, boes1

Stuck, not in the middle with anybody, but stuck in Ennuiville with two mid-range characters whose single connecting-points are self-interest and lack of self-awareness. Apparently Adam is fading to a lighter shade of pale and Sharon already has her ticket to the next streetcar named desire...or heart/dick...or I don't know whatthehell.

Apparently to borrow a metaphor from older media, the writers haven't yet figured out that eventually the needle will wear out the grooves on the record.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Nikki always looks great in those bright jewel tones. Meanwhile, Billy's gigantic lapels. Yeesh. Is that look fashionable again?

Chance the former super secret agent man doesn't use any security on his cellphone. Not believable to me. 😑

So does Amanda not have her own car? And if Billy drove her to the free clinic, how was she getting back to the office? Ehhhh, seems lowkey macho to me to insist the little woman has to be escorted to her next destination.

Wait, what? Who's this new Dan guy who could drop NE a nine-figure loan at the drop of a hat? Hmmm.

Did swaggerless Billy call himself trying scope out the competition, aka Nate? I'm surprised he didn't pee on Amanda's pumps to mark his territory. Such a tool.

So are there rumblings of NE employees going on strike or something? I thought a lot of them had already left when Nick created Dark Horse, and then more when NE had three CEOs in the space of a week. That company is a joke and I don't know why anyone would work for them unless there were no other crappy companies in GC.

Oh boy, Chance as a GCPD detective. Grandma Jill will not be pleased.

Yeah, no, not sure how much of a threat Dan is unless he's Victor's puppet and can suddenly call in some big NE loans. Plus he came across as kind of sexist to me. But Victoria's "this ain't my first time at the rodeo, boys" (a little NSFW) routine of late isn't quite working for me either.

When I used to donate blood they'd ask way more invasive questions than those softballs Nate tossed at Amanda. I'd have to try not to laugh because sometimes they seemed incredulous at my bland answers. 😐

Oh look, it's low-rent Bernadette Peters. (Love that reference, @deirdra) I thought she had washed her hands of all the Newman drama.

Almost? Gee, Billy. What's missing in your "almost" perfect work relationship with Amanda? The type of side benefits you had with Phyllis over at Jabot? #metoo, m.f.-er. STFU.

Theo is hilarious. He actually tried to impress Victoria with his freshly-printed ChancComm business card. Maybe Victoria will throw him some. I wouldn't hate it though I'm meh about a potential Victoria/Theo/Lola triangle. 🤔

Dear Josh G. Let me just wave you off right now. This Dan fellow better not turn out to be related to Amanda in a paternal way. Or in an avuncular way. Or how about in any biological way at all. It's bad enough that you're just now dealing with the Hilary issue. Grrr.

Not so much in that posted photo but I think on Y&R her curly hair is very Bernadette Peters-esque. I imagine she's heard the comparison plenty of times since she's also from New York.

Is Abby that stupid?  Don’t answer that. Of course she is. Yes, tell Paul about all the bad things you’ve done before he hires you. I got news for you Abby, you wouldn’t of gotten a liquor license for Society or The Grand Phoenix if you told them about your nefarious past.  Abby, what happened in Vegas was when he was a Federal Agent.  Right on cue Alyssa shows up to talk to Chance about a missing person 🤔. 

It looks like Nate and Elena only work at the clinic. I had to laugh at Nate’s blood drive because blood drives aren’t run by clinics. There run by organization like The American Red Cross of hospitals.  

And another shoe drops. Hilary and Amanda have the same blood type beside the same face.  Another long lost twin?  

 

[boes]

Way to go, Show!  I was afraid that after yesterday's Adam I AM THE WORST pity party, we might not have another day eaten up by a giant whining manbaby whose only consistent trait is an absolute inability to see himself for the utterly inane twaddle-spouting boor he really is.  In other words, Hi there, ButtBiscuit!

Same song, different day, as ButtBiscuit once again celebrates the risk-taking, devil-may-care bad boy he insists he is, instead of taking a long look in the mirror - it would have to be a long mirror to be able to see anything but that giant proboscis - and seeing that instead he's a low-rent rascal Eddie Haskell wannabe.  

How much you wanna bet he walks around the office all day with his zipper down?  And not because he's advertising, just because he still hasn't mastered those motor skills.  The Preparation H applicator tip has more charm, humor and sex appeal, and it's disposable.  If only you were, too, ButtBiscuit.

Something strange is happening.......I'm liking Chance.... I'm also liking Abby with him, more than I've liked her with anyone I can remember.  

I have been in lockdown for a good long while, so maybe that's the reason.  Or maybe he's a nice change from Adam and ButtBiscuit, but then again, a fungal infection would be a nice change from those two, but them's the facts.  Maybe I'll be better in the morning.

So Amanda and Hillary might be related?????  Who EVER would have guessed THAT??

Victoria, if you do decide to do your own version of an escape room with Theo, remember he comes with tap shoes, a top hat, can - and will - sing the entire score to Les Miz, will likely call you "Lola" at some point and make him take off that pocket watch he keeps pinned to his chest.  Also, don't forget gloves.  Lots of gloves.

Will we be back to Adam aka Rhoda from The Bad Seed, tomorrow?  

Yeah, that looks about right....

What the hell is wrong with him? He whines, he spins, he bitches and moans. What is he asking of people? To leave him alone? To do what? And if he wants to leave town, how is that not going to perpetuate what Victor did to him? What is his borderline serial killer son going to grow up to be?

[CountryGirl]

So Chelsea is gonna be the one to save Adam. Last time I checked, heaving bosoms and breathlessness qualifies you for a job as an adult actress or perhaps a revival of Dick Tracy (Breathless Mahoney anyone?) and not much else. 

Mmmkay. Victor’s slack-jawed AYFKMWT look when she huffed that out mirrored mine. That’s a first. 

Loved Adam dodging her calls  

Oh hello Noah. For a moment, I thought I had missed you, but then you opened your trap and I realized why you should have been named Nickduhlaus Jr instead. Save your proselytizing for someone who gives a good goddamn. If Sharon feels she’s up to helping Adam, that is HER decision and I’m sick of everyone, yes, even Mariah, trying to take away her agency here. TPTB, we already have one overbearing asshole in this storyline - that would be Nick - and we hardly need another one  

Loved Victor and Nikki taking none of Chelsea’s BS and Nikki reading her for filth. Again, who AM I? 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Huh? Is it supposed to be the same day as yesterday's episode? Hilary, Billy, and Nikki were wearing the same clothes as yesterday. I thought when Theo and Victoria met up at Society it was already late afternoon/early evening.

Mind your business, Lily. You're not Billy's mommy. Maybe he should call HR on you. 😑

Alrighty then! Noah is about to climb up Adam's narrow behind and turn on a couple of Bunsen burners. The only way it could be better for me is if Mariah showed up and they tag-teamed him.

I think Sharon wears awfully revealing tops for someone who just had multiple lumpectomies.

Burgundy must be one of the new fall colors. Both Adam and Devon were wearing it today, and Lola wore a burgundy dress earlier in the week.

Maybe Victor or Jack should give Adam a job. All this free time he has is just making him more and more self-centered, largely to the potential detriment of Sharon's health.

Countdown to when Elena finds out about Amanda's DNA test and alters the results.

Adam and Hilary are both going out of town. Hmmm. Surprise hookup? 😉

Wow, Chelsea, way to burn those Newman bridges to the ground and salt the earth afterward. While they can be blamed for a lot wrt Adam, it's not Victor and Nikki's fault you're insanely jealous of Sharon. Or that Adam couldn't care less. You might've hitched your wagon to the wrong Newman son. 😒

Lol, Adam went to the No Tell Motel. Wonder who his first visitor will be, Chelsea or Sharon? He better be using a burner phone and only cash or half the town will be able to track him down. 🤔

Quote

wondering if the new girl from BB is going to be Colleen?

Lol, Colleen's not just merely dead, she's really, most sincerely dead. I don't know if I want to see the MWTs write the kind of body swap shenanigans needed to make that retcon work. But OTOH, that would mean Victor has some rando's heart instead of an Abbott spare body part. Okay, I might allow it. 😏

Funny you should say that, I've really been wanting to buy some burgundy clothes for fall. I used to wear it with grey when I was young. I wonder if it still looks good on me.

[Waldo13]

Did Noah and Banana Breath go to the same acting class to learn how to talk through your teeth.  Noah shows up concerned for his mother but where was he during the operation?  He’s only in town as a stop over on his way out of town? Yeah, Noah is concerned.  Another idiot putting pressure on Sharon. They are unaware their concern is doing more harm than good. 

Talking about acting school, Chelsea has failed miserably.  Chelsea is right about one thing and that’s Drinki has never actually given Adam the time of day. Drinki is no saint either. 

TIIC has resurrected Noah to rag on Adam. Next TIIC will have Det Deadwood return from WITSEC. 

 

[deirdra]

Is it my imagination or does Y&R have more or louder background music than before COVID, more similar to 20 yrs ago?

[boes]

I don't know what the problem is, Amanda.  Haven't you realized yet that everything, including your DNA test is about ButtBiscuit and how it affects him?  The sun doesn't shine out of ButtBiscuit's ass, but it does stream in stereo out of his nostrils.  

So Show opened today with ButtBiscuit giving Lily an unasked for and unending update on how wonderful he is and it ended on the same note with him and Amanda.  Why did Show feel the need for all those filler stories inbetween when it all could have been about him?  

I hope on the next episode, everytime he opens his mouth and says "I", whoever he's with hits him in the face with a pie.  

There were some very good acting moments today, I thought.  Amanda's scenes with Devon were the best I've seen since MM returned.  Although she was almost drowned out by the one man peanut gallery, I thought she was excellent opposite ButtBiscuit as well.

Noah, too, was so good today!  It didn't bother me at all to have him read Adam for the emotional leech he is.  Sharon may say she has some sort of distance with Adam but nobody knows better than Noah (besides Sharon if she were being honest) how destructive those two are with each other.   As much as he loves his mother, he also knows her boundless capacity for self-deception.  Good acting job by RA today.

And Nikki was firing on all cylinders, both with Victor but especially with Chelsea.  What she said came across loud and clear, almost as loud and clear as the disdain in her eyes.

It looks like Victor is going to try and stop Chelsea from keeping Lil'-Damien -I-mean- Connor away from them in his usual steamroller fashion.  Can the orphanage story be far behind?

If Connor wasn't already a novice psychopath, he'd be getting his Boy Scout badge in it by the time he's done being a tug of war between the various loonies who "want" him.  

I wish Victor would expound on the "all I've ever done is try to protect the boy" in reference to how setting him up and getting him sent to prison for a murder he actually DIDN'T commit was an act of paternal affection.  

Damn........So Adam is hiding out in a Motel 6?  I was so hoping he'd run off to join the circus.  

I hate circuses.

[Joimiaroxeu]

A lunch double-date with Christine. Oy. Paul's not trying to hire Chance, he's trying to run him out of town screaming and ripping his hair out. 😨

Ruh, ruh. Devon's pining over an old photo of himself and Hilary. Meanwhile, I liked Elena's top. It looked like several lace doilies sewn together.

Look at Billy trying to DTR with Amanda. At work. Boy, bye. That train left the station months ago. You can't string someone along forever, especially when they have as much going on as Amanda.

Is Abby worried that Alyssa might be sniffing around Chance?

Ehh, Devon, I know you love Elena but I don't know about trying to let her have so much control over a decision which really has nothing to do with her. That's giving her an opening you may come to regret in the future.

Um, Nate, maybe one of the reasons Devon fell so far into his grief after Hilary died is because you and his sister Ana kept riding him like two nagging nellies. 😑

Yikes, Chance straddling his chair in front of Alyssa may be a bad sign. Low-key peacocking. Abby, you better go get your man. You cannot compete with Alyssa's hair. 😉

Lily, you have two kids and Billy is not one of them. If you want to put some skin in the potential couples game, do it and stop acting like a mother hen. You could do worse. O hai, Cane.

What are the odds Alyssa will have a meet-cute with Billy at Society and end up getting hired at ChancComm as an investigative reporter? 💑

OMG, I don't get what the big deal is. Devon, just do the right thing and stop being scared you'll be attracted to Amanda if she actually is Hilary's twin.

Next we are going to hear Adam killed dogs, cats, and other small animals.

Adam only wets his bed for those he really wuvs.  He comes armed with flowers, chocolates, and a rubber sheet.

 

 

Atonal Adam graduated to killing humans years ago, after learning to tear the wings off butterflies and torture small animals.

Flowers, chocolates, and a rubber sheet is on Sharon's Escape Club wish list as Atonal Adam Sexxxy Times Redux ... Phyllis has implanted club members with transceivers and taking detailed notes for No Joy at The Phoenix.

Rey Rey is well out of Kibble and Bit's Wet Works.

Quote

But besides the bed wetting, what else is new here?  Yes, Adam is toxic, yes, Adam hurts everyone within geographic range, yes, Adam is a self-centered asshole, and Yes, Adam and ButtBiscuit are two sides of the same anal fistula.  Why is this suddenly news?

He's only two beers short of a murder six-pack and that's not counting Delia, which, was an accident.  There was the guy in Vegas, Richard Hightower, the doctor he pushed into traffic and this Montalvo plot contrivance.  Why, all of a sudden, is that giant stick he has up his ass ringing the theme song to Murder She Wrote?   

Adam is a loathsome guy, he always has been.  Forget murder, gaslighting Ashley, burning the fetus in the fireplace, stealing Sharon's baby, injecting his own eyes to look like he was going blind, seducing Rafe - and none of that even includes all the crap he's done to Victor, all of which Victor at least deserved.  All this gnashing of teeth and mea culpa's about what a horrible guy he is seems like nothing more than the biggest "Pay Attention to ME" boner he's ever had.  

Quoted for truth and cannot be repeated often enough.

Atonal's I Vant To Be Aloooone In A Barely Serviceable Motel 6 handkerchief-wringing is another con. Atonal doesn't give two hoots about Chelsea/Connor's well-being or safety from his innate murderous nature. He's rarely ruminated over killing Delia or Las Vegas guy (and only if someone else brought up the subject) and still forced himself to made lovey dovey with Chelsea and play Daddy Dearest to Connor -- No backward glances about his historic jealousies, felonies, lies and iniquities ... 'Too bad so sad for my victims. My conscience is clear.'

Atonal elicits a promise from Sharon to not tell a soul where he's holed up (running away is his go-to when things get too real, the walls start closing in and Atonal's about to be publicly exposed), while leaving a trail of bread crumbs for her to follow. Sharon will break every promise she's made the members of Team Sharon and abandon what few fluid therapeutic ethics she has left to help Atonal get over being a reprobate, felon, and massive asshat. Atonal knows he's got Sharon on the hook and now he's going to play the line to reel her in. Sexual healing while slipping and sliding on urine-soaked rubber sheets awaits ...

<flinch>

The telegraphing of Chelsea huffing and puffing and nagging her grifter ass out of Atonal's embrace and good graces, as Sharon/Atonal reunite has been trumpeted since the new episodes began. Shut up you stupid bint! Do you really think screeching and threatening Victor and Nicki is going to get you what you want?

 

Is there some reason Chance is seen as a super Fed/investigator, but is actually a failure at law enforcement? 'I'm a law man at heart ... want to give back and do good... blah, blah, fucking blah.' Chance and Abby broadcasting in The Phoenix lobby his involvement with AA murdering Las Vegas guy is bad enough, but his inexpert treatment of Alyssa Montalvo's inquiries was pathetic. Missing man in Las Vegas -- no name, no date, just some random 'man' -- How many men are reported missing in Las Vegas in any given year? How many aren't reported missing, but are gone without a trace? Then Chance and Abby get weirder and twitchier when Alyssa shows up again; Abby in a panic because Alyssa is 'following them'.

Chance only convinced Alyssa that she's on the right track with her research into Atonal Adam's most recent murder; whoever has helped Atonal is painted with the murder brush. The law's for murder are funny that way ... felony murder, with special circumstances equals a needle in Nevada. I expect Alyssa's not going after Atonal for AJ's murder is because she signed over her story and research to Atonal's unknown/unseen/unmanaged news media company, and she can't use that information directly to expose Atonal without being tied up in a lawsuit. But once Atonal is arrested and charged for the Las Vegas murder, she can drop the info on AJ's murder with the Feds (they will be involved in the Las Vegas murder investigation because Chance was acting as an FBI agent at the time) and a search warrant will locate the story Atonal buried to protect himself. Alyssa's might be a smarter character than she is an actor (a little too broad and obvious for my taste). 

Phyllis has to be involved in this SL as well, because why not? Phyllis has nothing else to do but stir another pot with her multi-dimensional chaos theory spoon. Is this how Phyllis wrangles the rest of The Phoenix ownership from Abby by digging up the dirt on Chance/Atonal's murder conspiracy? There's no love lost between Phyllis, Chance and Atonal/Victor/Newman's (you're hanging on by the skin of your teeth, Nick), so all that hard work arm-twisting Abby works for the Red Menace. And if she opens the cell door for Atonal, so much the better.

Is this what women want club going to start being a story or is it just a one off episode and then just random talk about it? I don't know if I want it to be a story propeller, like the medical clinic is. 

It seems as if The Phoenix bar/lobby/Escape Club is being written as a replacement for the former Genoa City Athletic Club gym, bar/dining room/social milieu.

I don't know what the problem is, Amanda.  Haven't you realized yet that everything, including your DNA test is about ButtBiscuit and how it affects him?  The sun doesn't shine out of ButtBiscuit's ass, but it does stream in stereo out of his nostrils.  

If she doesn't know by now that everything is all about NotBilly, regardless of how distantly related or esoteric, Hillary will never figure it out.

NotBilly dogging Nate isn't much of a stretch. NotBilly took possession of Hillary 2.0 at their first conversation over drinks at No Name Bar. Hillary 2.0 shrugged when told NotBilly was lying and cheating on Victoria at the same time, and felt a twinge of guilt when Victoria was stabbed by Hillz 2.0s crazy ex-boyfriend -- Sorry about that Merry Mixup!

Notbilly got his tailfeathers singed by Victoria's final rejection of his mangy waste of skin and betrayal. He's played the wounded roué; defensive and prickly, taking offense at any assumed slight, snarking at regular folks doing the responsible adult thing, and pretending he's instantaneously matured to mentor Theo's career at Chance Com. <shakes head>

Hillary 2.0s should have serious questions about the Very Saintly and Not So Confidential Dr. Nate Hastings. Telling her Hillary 1.0s blood type matches her own, similar birth dates, fetus death and Darvon's grieving was a breech of patient confidentiality and exceptionally indiscrete for the Best Multiple Specialty Physician in Genoa City. Nate realizing that he may have stepped on his dick and still standing on it, because he didn't think through the repercussions of yacking about Hillary 1.0s medical details was absurd. Nate is a super doctor, but suddenly he's realized this could effect Hillary 2.0 and Darvon negatively?

Then there's Darvon scrutinizing what Hillary 1.0 would have wanted done with the possibility of a long-lost twin sister popping up out of nowhere -- Hillary 1.0 would have had a field day. She would have used this as content fodder on GCBuzz -- the saliva swabbing of both women, interviewing Hillary 2.0, lots of noise and press coverage and then the BIG REVEAL! It would be more of the everyday, non-stop despicable crap Hillary 1.0 used to flog on her show, and the same stuff Darvon hated about GCBuzz. No concerns and no recriminations from Hillary 1.0. There's no question Hillary 1.0 would have merchandized and exploited the entire occasion. But dead Hillary 1.0 has been canonized as some revirginized, virtuous, beautiful specter. Elena has every reason to be worried about the resurrection of Hillary 1.0 through the DNA testing of Hillz 2.0. Both she and Nate are going to have bitter regrets.

Texting the address of his motel to Sharon was a dumb idea in GC where everyone peeks at other peoples' unsecured phones which they absentmindedly leave behind.

Banana Breath and his son Donkey Kong are such a waist of time. I couldn’t care less about their opinion on anything.  One other thing is that Donkey Kong has Nostrils’ man spread down pat as well as Banana Breath’s and Nostrils’ pocket pool skills. 

Nostrils is such an arrogant SOB. It’s totally rude to play pocket pool while talking to Amanda. Did anyone else notice the wet spot in Nostrils’ pants or was it my imagination?

Billy and Lily dated for a while when Cane was thought to have gotten Chloe pregnant with Delia.  It's easy to forget because it was not this Billy, but cute Billy Miller's Billy.  It's hard to imagine Swizzle Stick Billy with Lily. Or with anybody, actually, other than a ventriloquist's dummy.

Nick is right about Adam, sure.  But listening to Nick natter on about how Adam thinks only of himself is pretty rich.  Nick was inducted into the Narcissistic Bonehead Hall Of Fame years ago.  I bet he still has the teeshirt.

Um, Nate, maybe one of the reasons Devon fell so far into his grief after Hilary died is because you and his sister Ana kept riding him like two nagging nellies. 😑

It wasn't enough to just have Nick being a self-centered blowhard, we had to watch Nate make a hard turn back to his know-it-all Nate Natey Nate Nate Nate days.  After Amanda just had to put up with dreary ButtBiscuit's Lament and lame attempts at humor, she had to listen to Nate drone on about how he's the expert in both Devon and the correct way to grieve?

I think ButtBiscuit's pocket pool is just his endless search to discover something that's just not there.  Somebody needs to show him that a well stuffed tube sock in the right place might make up for what's missing in his life.

Show came perilously close to making me miss Theo today......Don't DO that, Show!

Yeah, what the hell is up with that? I'm suddenly watching the Theo scenes with more interest than I am most of the plotlines. Full moon?

Then we have 180 degree reverse--MG's lean and hungry Adam trying desperately to sell double hurt-comfort storylines. This one should go back to fanfic.

And Robert Adamson is doing such a good job in his scenes with JM--also a big surprise.

Other than that, and checking out some of the tailoring, it's FF for me. And it's hard to maintain interest in endless two-character scenes.

Ehh, Devon, I know you love Elena but I don't know about trying to let her have so much control over a decision which really has nothing to do with her. That's giving her an opening you may come to regret in the future.

OMG, I don't get what the big deal is. Devon, just do the right thing and stop being scared you'll be attracted to Amanda if she actually is Hilary's twin.

I felt like the entire hour was spent with Elena's slack-jawed, open-mouth, wide-eyed mug on my screen. She had a singular facial expression of "oh my god he's going to leave me right here at this table with this coffee mug and wedding photo of him and Hilary my life is RUINED!!!" Girl, fix your face and have some self-respect. Unfortunately, I have a feeling this will turn into a love triangle that will last for an eternity. As Elena & Derwin are dating IRL and he seems to have the producers/writers on lock, she ain't goin' nowhere ... until they are no longer a couple. 😴

[Kemper]

I am mostly a lurker on this Board; commented a couple of times.  I love reading all the comments.  I have to agree with everyone...Theo (especially Theo) and Lola are interesting and a bit light.  But I have a fear that she might still love Kyle; the "why" escapes me.  

My question:  the writers had months to try and fix some things with this soap...maybe undo something and just go on like nothing ever happened.  The Adam storyline is terrible and will probably drag for weeks if not months.  I like Sharon but it is time that guys stopped fighting over her.  I thought the writers were finally giving her character some growth, especially about men; but she will probably get the "wistful glazed eye" look pretty soon.  I don't care about the investigative reporter who was Adam's childhood friend.  I would rather see Chloe (words I never thought I would type).

And.  How hard is it to get an age appropriate actress for Jack? The most attractive, eligible man on the canvas and he hasn't had a serious love interest since Crazy Patty's twin.  Please don't put the actress who played Sally on B&B into his orbit.  Let her rival Phyllis for Nick's played-out affection.  She might have been good as a Phyllis recast.  Although I don't think she would pass for the grandma that Phyllis supposedly is.  And I am not minding Victor lately.  A good story would be he and Nicki trying to take custody of Connor from Adam/Chelsea.

And please, writers....could you put Phyllis in the background a bit more.  And I don't mean "background" as lurking behind corners and eavesdropping.  Sometimes she does it in plain sight!  Why couldn't they have kept Abby as more of the Badass that she was for awhile?  She was the only person who seemed to be able to go toe-to-toe with Phyllis and live to tell the tale; until the dinosaur bone.  Which Nick was completely onboard with when he found out.  He needs to take lessons from Vito Corleone...you never go against the family.  Did Victor know about this?  Maybe he could go after Nick and Phyllis?

I was thinking the same thing - they should have ditched the storylines that weren't working.  Instead they made them worse and brought back the Bernadette Peters wannabe from Kansas who I was hoping we'd never see again.
