Am I the last poster to this board to find out that Eric Braeden is receiving treatment for bladder cancer while still showing up to tape the show - Sheknows reported on it this past Saturday (4/22)

Since these shows are taped in advance, what we’re seeing now has been filmed weeks or months ago.

I absolutely REFUSE to believe Stafford has a fan base

[Kemper]

I think Victor has a fan base because the powers-that-be would not give any other actor over 50 (a patriarchal age) a chance. The last few years: Sadly, Richard Burgi  violated Covid protocols. The actor who took his place did not want to permanently relocate to LA; not that he would have been hired as a regular. Tucker is being wasted and Jeremy S was probably never written to stay. Jack has been emasculated. So when EB can no longer handle the role…who are we left with? That would be believable? Victoria? Devon? I purposely leave off Nick.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the truth never comes out. Phyllis doesn’t ever seem to pay for her criminality for long. Same thing if Kevin is asked to find the truth re the ambulance crash. She would coerce him into lying in a second. Maybe the writer (singular) is planning on ending this on a high note….🤡

For those who have been watching for decades…is this the worst the show has been? And is it shedding viewers?

 

one word … reliquary

[NinjaPenguins]

Tucker: I’m moving in!

Ashley: Are you going to behave? We have rules. I expect you to kick Jack in the shins every day.

Tucker: I’m more housebroken than Billy. That’s all I can promise.

@@@@@@@

Michael: So… it’s warm outside but cold in here.

Lauren: Diane has been found guilty in the court of public opinion. How dare you defend her.

@@@@@@

Jack: Working late? I’m impressed.

Billy: Don’t be. I had to get away from Chelsea. The biscuits didn’t rise.

Jack: I’d say it happens to most guys, but it’s never happened to me.

Billy: Sorry I’m sitting in the big chair. I gotta warn you, there’s like a zillion takeout farts trapped in the cushion.

Jack: I need a diversion anyway. I just came from seeing Diane.

Billy: I thought she told you to back off.

Jack: I can’t stay away from a damsel in distress. I asked her to get married then and there. I firmly believe there’s no problem that a proposal can’t fix.

@@@@@@@

Summer: Mom!

Daniel: I know you’re grieving, but that’s no reason to insult me.

@@@@@@@

Tucker: I can’t wait to see Jack’s face when I strut down to breakfast.

Ashley: Let’s not talk about Jack and how fucking amazing it will be when he realizes you’re turtlenecking all over this place. I’ll give you a tour. These are the stairs. They go up.

Tucker: Wow? Do they go down too? Because I do.

@@@@@@

Lauren: I’m going to make some extremely insulting assumptions about your motives for stabbing me and your dead best friend in the back.

Michael: Does the fact that I’m willing to defend Diane not persuade you she might be innocent? This isn’t some lark.

Lauren: Nope. I hope that bitch fries.

Michael: That’s why I’m doing this. Diane could be facing a jury of biased, thickheaded, judgmental ninnies. Everyone deserves a lawyer who can fight against your typical shitknot of prejudices.

Lauren: I agree. Everyone but Diane.

@@@@@@

Billy: Did she accept your proposal?

Jack: She didn’t answer. I can’t imagine why.

Billy: I don’t know many gals who swoon over a jailhouse wedding.

Jack: How can I convince her that a cell block ceremony is the best option? I could slip a nail file into the cake.

Billy: Dude, you’re not facing the real problem here. You miss your Red. You can’t fill a Phyllis shaped hole with a Diane peg.

Jack: That’s a very problematic sentence. Also, don’t analyze me. You’re about as emotionally aware as a broccoli floret.

Billy: There’s some things you can’t outrun. For example, the backdraft from one of my sneezes. Phyllis is similar.

Jack: Eh, I’m over it.

Billy: You weren’t on good terms when she died. But you had a long and tangled relationship that you can’t just brush off like it’s nothing. Except for the part where I  sexed up your wife and mocked you for being kidnapped. Put that in the circular file.

@@@@@

Summer: I saw Mom.

Daniel: Yeah, I see her too. Every time I see a police car with the blue lights flashing.

Summer: I really saw her. Mom is alive, Daniel.

Daniel: Are you hopped up on goofballs?

Summer: I can explain everything that happened.

Daniel: Amuse me. 

Summer: Stark manipulated Mom’s misery and trapped her in this horrible plan to frame Diane. When she realized how deep she was in, she tried to get away from him. Stark attacked her, so she killed him. Now she can’t come home because she’ll be arrested.

Daniel: For self defense?

Summer: Who will believe that? She set Diane up. She has a, um, colorful history. We’ve got to find a way to fix this!

Daniel: I’ll get my imaginary duct tape.

Summer: I can prove it! MOM! MOOOOOOM!

@@@@@@@

Ashley: Get a job, hippie.

Tucker: I don’t know. Are you worried I could get up to mischief if I’m at loose ends?

Ashley: Yes?

Tucker: I’ll probably spend some time trying to ride the wave of Devon’s warm and fuzzy forgiving mood. Maybe I’ll introduce Dom to the turtleneck lifestyle. Of course, I’ll be making your eyes spin around like the reels on a slot machine too.

@@@@@@@

Lauren: Phyllis was our best friend. We went through hell together. Being her best friend gave me more screen time than I might have had.

Michael: You and Phyllis are two of the most resilient, strong and annoying women I know. I cared about her. I want justice for Phyllis That’s why I’m defending Diane. Someone else is responsible for this murder and I’m going to find out who.

Lauren: Scoff.

Michael: Stark washed up on the lake shore. He was taking the long dirt nap, hold the dirt.

Lauren: What? Well, don’t expect me to cry for a man who tried to upholster our lives in velour. I own boutiques, damn it.

Michael: The point is that he had some dangerous enemies who could have whacked Phyllis first. You know, I feel like everyone in town has had this exact same conversation. Like there’s someone out there listening whose intelligence needs to be grievously insulted by having the plot spoon fed to them repeatedly. 

Lauren: Okay, Stark was a sleazebag, but the cops don’t seem interested him. And Chance is one hell of a cop.

Michael: This is no time to crack jokes.

Lauren: Yes, the sudden marriage was weird. And Phyllis brought a metric fuckton of misery on herself. But Diane tormented her by existing. How can you let that go?

Michael: Maybe you could have some faith in me. I can smell a liar at twenty paces, which is why I shut my nose holes with a clothespin when Phyllis came to visit. 

@@@@@@

Billy: It’s Chelsea. I guess we have to talk about Billy’s chilly willy.

Jack: Go ahead. Jack’s eyes glaze over. He’s experiencing a montage. I remember the days when Phyllis got her hair done at a pet groomers to save money. She didn’t think she was entitled to my love then. We couldn’t have children. All I’ve got to show for my life is a bouffant boy and two invisible grandkids. My favorite child is the biological son of my enemy. Ah, there I am delivering Summer. All Phyllis cared about was her Curious George dildo being there. Years later, I was expecting to find out I was Summer’s father. That’s the logical soap payoff, right? Not in the universe of Nick Newman Can’t Lose. She helped me kick my drug habit, I guess. I sure as hell was scared straight.

Billy: Are you okay, bro? Were you montaging?

Jack: Yes, and you were completely right about everything. I totally needed to process my feelings about Phyllis. Where did you find two brain cells to rub together?

Billy: You don’t inhale this much oxygen without getting a few synapses jazzed up.

Jack: Having processed my feelings, I can safely say I hope Phyllis is roasting like a rotisserie chicken. And I’m still going to marry the hell out of Diane.

@@@@@@

Daniel: OMG WTF SUMMER GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF MOM IS DEAD,

Summer: Sob.

Daniel: I’m sorry, but the truth hurts.

Summer: I know you think I’ve had a psychotic break. But Mom was standing here wearing shit brown velour and putting an obscene burden on my conscience.

Daniel: Let’s pretend that’s all true. We go to Chance and Christine and tell them your theory. What evidence do we give them? They investigate and find Mom and arrest her for murdering Jeremy Stark. Diane goes free while our mother is in prison forever, because that’s clearly the trade off. One of them has to be in jail.

Summer: But… self defense?

Daniel: If Mom really did kill Stark and didn’t immediately report it with a claim of self defense, she’s as dumb as Nick. Uh, no offense.

Summer: I guess… I guess we’ll just have to let a woman rot in jail and everyone wallow in grief until I figure this out.

Daniel: Do you have diarrhea?

Summer: No, why?

Daniel: Just the look on your face. Let’s go home.

@@@@@@

Lauren: I have faith in you. Just not in Diane.

Michael: I believe her when she says she didn’t do it.

Lauren: Eating at the last place we saw Phyllis alive was a fucking terrible idea, Michael. I will now storm off, secure in the sacred righteousness of my anger. No regrets!

Michael: …

@@@@@

Tucker: Top of the evening to you, guv’nor.

Jack: Tucker?

Tucker: Put some respect on my name.

Ashley: You’d better get used to seeing his smiling face, Jack.

Jack: Why is that?

Ashley: He’s my guest. And I’ve invited him to move in. Since I’m not allowed to interfere in your personal life, you can’t make one peep about this. Nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in doo doo.

Jack: DARK CLOUD

Tucker: I really enjoyed that.

[WhitneyWhit]

When Jack started reminiscing about being temporarily mentally ill married to Phyllis I got the sickest, most horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach because it actually dawned on me that this story could evolve into some God awful love triangle once the Red one is actually back and that Diane, despite not actually doing anything, will end up being the villain.

Only in the most irreligious sense.  It was a Jewish art piece stolen by the Nazis during WWII, tied to Brad Carlton's storyline with him and Victoria and Victor all trying to acquire it and the reliquary itself supposedly holding some terrible power and...... you want to hear more or beg for it all to stop?

You remember more detail than I do, I am sure, but I do have an image of Victoria, Art Historian, sitting in front of a fake one with some Modge Podge and then some very bad special effects. 

This Phyllis storyline is bad but there have been some doozies. lol

It's awful in it's own way, though.  I'm already a carrier of the dreaded DOOL virus but I can't in good conscience advise you to take that chance.  Yes, it doesn't have Michelle Stafford but it does have it's own accapella group of horrors, along with the recently introduced Jackee Harry who delivers every line in a tone that would drown out the San Francisco foghorn.

Proceed with caution.

Well that sucks! I've watched soaps on and off (mostly on) since I was about nine years old, and my life has always been better with them than without them. It's too bad TPTB won't invest in good writers. Even if the audience is small it's still a sizable chunk of eyeballs for advertisers.

I just don't understand why all of the remaining soaps think that shitty, awful characters like Phyllis, Victor, Carly, etc., should be the heroes. It's just not right, and as pessoptimist who still likes to think that good people eventually come out on top, it makes me sad that soaps no longer value that belief.

[MsMalin]

I am hoping that no matter how bad the show gets that it never gets cancelled. If it gets cancelled then this board ceases to exist. The worse the show gets, the better this board gets.

[Waldo13]

This mishegoss (craziness) of Crispy’s saga is nothing but dreck mit tzimmes (shit with your sweet potato stew).  Again a lot is lost in the translation. 

Diane, even with Crispy being alive, the GC elites will still hold Diane accountable and never exonerate her for making Crispy act out of desperation. Conversely, Saint Crispy would never be found guilty of killing Stark or framing Diane by a jury of her peers because of their bias towards Diane. Crispy should just return to GC on a horse drawn chariot wearing a crown of gold throwing kisses at the huddled masses. I hope Crispy wears clothes though unlike Abby. I guess that the monkeys with a keyboard are just drawing this out until May’s sweep week. 

 

As an aside:  Tzimmes is usually made around Passover and is a symbol of hope and prosperity. This changes during the depression to a way of inexpensively feeding families who were very poor.  Instead of chunks of sweet potato, the sweet potatoes were mashed to make casserole. 

[One Tough Cookie]

OK @NinjaPenguins--just read your post. Cannot howl with laughter as usual because the husband is sleeping in the next room and I don't to wake him.  The pressure of holding back may blow my teeth out.

[NinjaPenguins]

Yesterday was a tough one. The way characters talk in circles, rehashing the same conversations, drives me nuts. Lauren and Michael could be summed up thusly:

Lauren: Fuck you for defending Diane.

Michael: Up yours for thinking I’d defend our friend’s killer.

Apparently, Josh Griffith operates under the principle of using four scenes when one will do. And then you have his great passion for indirect conversations, as someone upthread pointed out regarding Summer and Daniel. Why couldn’t Summer just flat out tell Daniel what happened instead of couching it in hypotheticals and rhetorical questions and theories. She gave up trying to convince him pretty meekly too, considering the magnitude of the news. So now we have to endure  god knows how long of everyone thinking Summer is cray while she makes that pouty blowfish face.

Only if they have a regime change in that writers room, because Josh Griffith (and whoever he had before he fired them if we're being honest) would just fuck that up too.

When her and narc mommy dearest get busted she's gonna pull that card of "We'll I tried to tell you" to Daniel. Nevermind it was a half-assed attempt & she should've been trying to tell the authorities and her husband anyway. 

I think this show is doomed unless CBS fires JG and hires people that can actually write and pace good storylines.

If all of GC thinks that Diane is guilty, then how can she get a fair trial in GC?  

Anything's possible.  You have a DA that was almost killed by the victim but wants to prove she is unbiased (towards Crispy),  you have the best lawyer evah who is also the very best friend of the victim, you have an unprofessional cop who listens to grief-stricken children to make the evidence fit and a Coven of entitled shrews that feel Diane should burn in hell because they don't like her.  Who needs a trial, anyway?

I had no idea about EB-I knew he had had his knees done but I wasn't aware of the cancer (I quit Twitter in January) and frankly that explains a lot regarding his recent work. I  can tell you from personal experience that cancer treatments really fuck with your concentration and memory. I absolutely give him props for continuing to work through his illness. I feel like I'm in the minority on this site, with this opinion, but I've loved him from the start, and honestly, I can't imagine the show without him. ALL HAIL THE MUSTACHE! 🥸

[Desperado]

Due to life events beyond my control, the last years left me plenty of time to cling to watching soaps to avoid my reality.

I followed every US-based soap with the exception of B&B and the UK’s Coronation Street. As of now, I’m down to a bit of DOOL (the worst storyline is finally over and I don’t despise any of the characters) and GH (will see Friday if it got better because it’s ridiculous now, the pacing is horrendous and I hate a whole family of front burner characters).

Writers have moved so far away from stories I enjoyed watching, new  characters are as thin as paper, old characters have morphed into ghosts of themselves and when there are decent characters (Coronation), the stories are way too dark for my taste.

I’m here now, because this is the most fun board of all the shows, but the more I stay away from watching, the less I’ll understand the jokes and the thought of leaving sucks.

Damn you, shows!

The split second MulvaDiane appeared on screen I sadly knew that she was here for one reason only - to facilitate a big fat SyPhyllis is wronged but then proved right story. Been there, done that. So tiresome. And so far beyond merely being unbelievable it's antibelievable.

But there was one bright spot in that whole mishygoss. Brad killed a bad guy by using only his thighs. That's right, he crushed a man to death with his thighs.

Ashley: I’ll kiss you goodbye, with an eye to the stairs to see if my dumb brother is catching this.

Tucker: That’s not weird at all. Like not sharing a room after you asked me to move in. By the by, do you have Nate’s number? I want to flex nuts on him with my two or three side parts.

Jack wanders in.

Tucker: Top o’ the morning, old chap. Care for a spot of coffee?

Audra: Please do. Should I be feeling this much pleasure outside of sex? I hope I can mask my O face.

Jack: Why are you here?

Tucker: Katherine Chancellor got down and dirty with my daddy.

Jack: My family is suffering. Diane is in jail for something she didn’t do, Summer is enough asshole for this house without adding you to the mix, my son is going to see your wild hair and build his bouffant to the fucking rafters… for Ashley to foist you on us is offensive.

Tucker: All that family ish is why I’m here. I need a home base where I can reach Devon from.

Jack: Ashley only invited you here to piss me off.

Tucker: One, I don’t care. Two, not everything is about you, Jack.

Jack: Whatever.

Tucker: For what it’s worth, this is excellent coffee. Oh, and I’m sorry about Diane. I’m pretty sure I saw Phyllis wearing a busted ass wig and some nerd glasses sneaking out of the athletic club.

Jack: I don’t give a buoyant intercourse on a mobile toroid pastry what you think.

Tucker: Ashley feels the same open hostility for Diane. Let that be a lesson to you.

Jack: Don’t compare yourself to Diane. She did the work and ate the shit sandwiches served up by Genoa City’s welcoming committee. What have you done? Found your soul in an ashram? Impossible.

Tucker: There was a near fatal car wreck. And a magic mushroom retreat where I could taste color.

Jack: If you hurt my sister, you’ll be tasting fistcakes for a week. I’m sure she’d do the same for me.

Elena: Maybe Victoria joined the trip on the spur of the moment.

Audra: No. That sneaky snake was always going.

Nate: You’re hard to say no to. I’m lean and muscular.

Victoria: It’s so nice to work with someone willing to be absolutely consumed by ambition.

Nate: Interesting nickname for your, um…

Victoria: I read a really neat book about how to balance illicit sex with corporate success. Shall I run upstairs and fetch it?

Nate: I’ll help you fetch that bone. I mean book.

@@@@@@@

Ashley: It’s nice to see someone around here working hard.

Billy: Or hardly working, amirite?

Ashley: Look, assbread, we need to get down to brass tacks here. Jack’s Diane obsession is about to wreck this company’s shit, whereas mine is perfectly reasonable.

Billy: Oh geez. I know Jack would probably forgive another of my betrayals, but I don’t want to tempt fate.

Ashley: The media is going to feast on Jabot like a vulture with fresh roadkill. The trial will be a circus that explodes like Phyllis’ ambulance. Jack isn’t focused on business; he’s too busy romancing a murderer.

Billy: Whoa, language.

Ashley: Murderess, oh great guardian of the grammar.

Billy: I don’t know shit about grammar, but I do know how to contact public relations to put a plan in place for Diane’s trial.

Ashley: Goddamnit, you little snot goblin, I mean to convene a meeting of the board to have Jack defenestrated before that stone cold assassin drags this company straight to hell!

Billy: This sounds like a coup and, quite frankly, a bit unhinged.

Ashley: Diane could beat the murder rap. Then she’ll insinuate herself even deeper into our family and crown herself the Queen of Jabot! I’m the fucking queen! Do you hear me?

Billy: Yep. That’s why I’m backing away slowly.

@@@@@@@

Jack: Michael, I’m here to state at least nineteen times that I love Diane and will be focused exclusively on getting her out of jail.

Michael: It’s weird that we don’t know how Stark died. The only information I got was that he didn’t have a single drop of blood left in his body.

Jack: Sounds like Victor got hungry. I guess we need to pivot from the obvious suspect. Naturally, authorities can see nothing suspicious about a last minute marriage with a huge inheritance attached.

Michael: I say we keep playing the Stark slots until that velour bitch pays out. Sure, I can’t get a legal subpoena for such an upstanding citizen with no motive, but I have contacts willing to pull all manner of shady shit. Did you get in touch with the forensic accountant.

Jack: Yeah. I gave her a whole half hour and she couldn’t trace Jeremy’s money.

Michael: Patience, grasshopper. I’m going to track down security footage too. Thanks to Big Brother, Stark’s last days should be on tape somewhere.

Jack: If you want a picture of the future, imagine a pair of nostrils inhaling a human face - forever.

Michael: I’ll tell you this; judges and juries aren’t too keen on blaming the conveniently dead. It’s a risky strategy, and if we don’t bring solid evidence, Christine will rip us to shreds. I’m just saying that in case she’s listening. Honestly I should be able to outmaneuver her while blackout drunk.

@@@@@@@

Elena: I’m the dumbest dumb that ever dumbed. I thought Nate was the same sensitive, compassionate guy who couldn’t jerk off or perform surgery after his injury. Then he found business. I tried to be patient and understanding as he transformed into this grasping turd.

Audra: You’re not an idiot. You’re a victim. And perhaps one of my greatest trolls.

Elena: I’m no victim. I just didn’t realize I was dealing with someone who only cared about winning and didn’t know the difference between right and wrong.

Audra: What are you going to do?

Elena: Fly to L.A., catch them in the act, dropkick Nate across a parking lot and then hunt down the bag of dicks who thought it would make an interesting juxtaposition to montage Side Part and the dust mop during my lamentations.

Audra: Can… can I watch?

Elena: It’s time to find this JT guy and launch my new podcast “Because Fuck You, That’s Why.”

@@@@@@@

Ashley: It’s not a coup or revenge. Have I mentioned how many times Jack has tried to kick me out of my own home?

Billy: So the answer is to unseat him? Sorry, but I don’t need that much work. I like my long lunches filled with Chinese food and Chelsea’s fortune cookie.

Ashley: I guess I can see how this would look vengeful, considering I also moved Tucker in last night. He’s got his own room though, so…

Billy: Jack sees Tucker the way you see Diane.

Ashley: We’re not talking about Tucker McCall, rectal rolls. We’re talking about Jack and his succubus ruining everything if I don’t knock his schmoopy ass off the throne.

Billy: I’m the most reasonable person in this office and that scares me.

@@@@@@@

Jack: Oh, that guy. At least he located a hairbrush.

Michael: Tucker? Ignore him. Don’t let him ruin your day.

Jack: Too late. Ashley moved him in to the house to prove a point about Diane. As if that smirking touch hole is on the same level as my son’s mother.

Meanwhile

Ashley: I see Jack the Ass is here.

Tucker: He and I bonded today. You might call it a budding bromance.

Ashley: Really?

Tucker: No. LOL. He knows I’m there as a kick to his jumblies. Let’s plant my foot deeper into his nutsack.

Ashley: Do you still have your den of iniquity and debauchery?

Tucker: Ready and waiting. Though I’m getting slightly concerned that your brother’s disapproval seems to be a factor in your arousal.

Meanwhile

Jack: Gross.

Michael: Yeah baby.

This show has reached absolute rock bottom with the Phyllis/Diane/Stark storyline. I've had it with Phyllis' whining about how she's not to blame for anything she does, that it was somebody else or some uncontrollable emotion that mde her do it, and now she's dragging her daughter down with her by manipulating her into covering for her - a real mother of the year, isn't she.  If this show is to survive, it's got to change focus.

I’ve watched the show most of my life thanks to my grandmother. This is definitely one of the rougher periods of the show, up there with the godawful, show devouring Philly. The illustrious writer of the current garbage doesn’t seem to get that Phyllis is the villain of the piece. If you can make me pity Summer, you are 100% a sack of premium grade shit.

Yep.  I've followed this show off and on for at least 20 years, and Phyllis is the absolute worst.  Why is she always in the spotlight, and why does she always eat the show?  They seem to think that Phyllis is either the heroine, or a villain that people love to hate, but either way, why oh why is this woman constantly being shoved down viewers' throats?  I don't enjoy watching her, I just hate her.

Phyllis needs to be found out and she needs to be spending some time in prison for obstruction of justice and other crimes.

yeah, honestly, how many women in their 50s act that way? Unbelieveable.

I refuse to believe this woman is in her 50s.  When she was with Nick years back they were trying to pass her off as eternally "early 40s".  This woman has a 40 year old son, she's easily in her 60s.

Ashley: I’ve got a job, hippie.

Tucker: Well excuuuuse me! I was going to bring you breakfast in bed, but you obviously ate your Bitch-Os early.

Ashley: I’ll kiss you goodbye, with an eye to the stairs to see if my dumb brother is catching this.

Tucker: That’s not weird at all. Like not sharing a room after you asked me to move in. By the by, do you have Nate’s number? I want to flex nuts on him with my two or three side parts.

Ashley: Off to terrorize my underlings.

Jack wanders in.

Tucker: Top o’ the morning, old chap. Care for a spot of coffee?

@@@@@@@

Nate: I gaze at my phone. My lady is certainly lovely, dedicated, smart and compassionate. Whelp, time to throw it all away for a feral vampire. Texts eggplant and fire emojis to Victoria.

@@@@@@@

Elena: Let me tell you all about how amaze balls my relationship with Nate is, which is not at all a harbinger of impending doom.

Audra: Please do. Should I be feeling this much pleasure outside of sex? I hope I can mask my O face.

Elena: He told me to pick a place for a dream vacation. He even left a note on my pillow asking me to pack his comb collection.

Audra: Um, did he say he was going alone?

Elena: Yep.

Audra: Oh god. Oh. my. god. Yeah, he went with Victoria. Yes, yes, yes!

@@@@@@@

Jack: Why are you here?

Tucker: Katherine Chancellor got down and dirty with my daddy.

Jack: My family is suffering. Diane is in jail for something she didn’t do, Summer is enough asshole for this house without adding you to the mix, my son is going to see your wild hair and build his bouffant to the fucking rafters… for Ashley to foist you on us is offensive.

Tucker: All that family ish is why I’m here. I need a home base where I can reach Devon from.

Jack: Ashley only invited you here to piss me off.

Tucker: One, I don’t care. Two, not everything is about you, Jack.

Jack: Whatever.

Tucker: For what it’s worth, this is excellent coffee. Oh, and I’m sorry about Diane. I’m pretty sure I saw Phyllis wearing a busted ass wig and some nerd glasses sneaking out of the athletic club.

Jack: I don’t give a buoyant intercourse on a mobile toroid pastry what you think.

Tucker: Ashley feels the same open hostility for Diane. Let that be a lesson to you.

Jack: Don’t compare yourself to Diane. She did the work and ate the shit sandwiches served up by Genoa City’s welcoming committee. What have you done? Found your soul in an ashram? Impossible.

Tucker: There was a near fatal car wreck. And a magic mushroom retreat where I could taste color.

Jack: If you hurt my sister, you’ll be tasting fistcakes for a week. I’m sure she’d do the same for me.

@@@@@@@

Elena: Maybe Victoria joined the trip on the spur of the moment.

Audra: No. That sneaky snake was always going.

Elena: I’m so motherfucking tired of these motherfucking snakes on my motherfucking boyfriend.

Audra: Allow me to wax indignant about what straight trash Nate and Victoria are.

Elena: Please don’t.

When Jack started reminiscing about being temporarily mentally ill married to Phyllis I got the sickest, most horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach because it actually dawned on me that this story could evolve into some God awful love triangle once the Red one is actually back and that Diane, despite not actually doing anything, will end up being the villain. 

Part of me is thinking that this may lead to the long awaited reveal that Summer is actually Jack's daughter.  We have talked about this for years and years and the writers are never brave enough to actually follow through on this.  Watching the looks on Summer and Kyle's faces as they both realise that they slept with their brother/sister would be utterly hilarious.

The split second MulvaDiane appeared on screen I sadly knew that she was here for one reason only - to facilitate a big fat SyPhyllis is wronged but then proved right story. Been there, done that. So tiresome. And so far beyond merely being unbelievable it's antibelievable.

Agree... thoroughly tiresome.  Everything on this show these days seems to be to prop up Phyllis as the Greatest Woman Who Ever Lived.  I can foresee her doing absolutely zero prison time for any of this.  She's going to flap her wings and weep and sob that she was forced into doing all of this because she was afraid of Stark.  Never mind that she gleefully watched as Diane got hauled off to jail.

If I were writing this show, Phyllis would be in prison for murder and Summer would be in prison for obstruction of justice.  They can share a cell and wear matching uniforms and listen to each other sob all day long.

I always get a kick out of the opening shot of GC where NE and Jabot are major skyscrapers and Chancellor Park is 10 times the size of that little section they are now using.  You would thing that GC has a population of a million people living and working there. 

Tucker, the new Mrs Martinez. Is he going to make cookies for Harrison?  

You can tell when Audra is wearing her hair straight back her intentions are to be a serious bitch and give Elena a rude awakening. Sorry Elena, you are so delusional. Natey Nate Nate is acting more out of guilt than love. He’s trying to prove to himself that he doesn’t have the hots for Cruella. 

Ashley hasn’t been to work in quite a while so why does she have to tell Nostrils, who’s been a Co-CEO for about a week, that at least somebody is working. Now Ashley wants to stage a coup because Jack is taking down Jabot?  As I remember Ashley, you almost brought down Jabot by taking your cosmetic formulas and running away to Paris. One other thing Ashley, Jack has been in the office a lot more times than you. Nostrils once again is the voice of reason. The monkeys with a keyboard are trying too hard to redeem him.  Ashley Ashley Ashley I thought we were through with Crispy’s rants and rage.  It seems that the monkeys with a keyboard have made Ashley the designated Crispy.  Working hard Ashley?  Then why do you have time for lunch with Tucker and an afternoon delight?  

Cruella’s concept of flirting is “blowing” smoke up Natey Nate Nate’s ass. But in a way, Cruella is complimenting herself for hiring Natey Nate Nate.  Cruelty absolute cruelty with Cruella having sexy time with Natey Nate Nate 🤢🤮. It’s like two ice cubes trying but failing to melt together.  They are like to adult teenagers trying to figure out how to do it.  Did anyone else notice that Natey Nate Nate has bigger boobs than Cruella?  

So there are CCTV cameras in GC. So why hasn’t Chance looked through them for evidence?  Too logical!  

[Js Nana]

I laughed out loud when Victoria pulled a "want to see my etchings" routine with Nate on today's show: Oh, Natey-poo, I've got this marvelous book for you to read.  In fact, I carry it with me everywhere - want to come up to my room and read it?
