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

[MsMalin]

I don't know about you, but I found the Phyllis/Summer scenes very creepy. Phyllis explaining Daniels flawed personality because he was raised with morals? I expect them to turn into a mothers daughter serial killers team for their next storyline.

I hope they're not bringing Faith back to kill her off. I'd like to think the show wouldn't do that to Sharon twice, but seems like the exact thing they'd do. 

This is… maybe shitty, but does it even make sense to write a child death storyline for an actress who can’t even move her face anymore?

LOL I can't believe Chance and Cameron are wearing the same shirt. And yes, I mean the SAME shirt.

Show must have a really tight budget.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Victor apologized to Chance and offered to let Chance punch him. I don't how Chance didn't bust out laughing.

Billy saw Vikki acting happy and straight away assumed it was because she's been getting laid. Even if it was true, misogynist much, William?

At first I thought Daniel took Lily to Audra's room and started trying to figure out why Audra and Daniel would be bunking together.

Preach, Lily! Say it loud enough for the people in the back to hear! I feel like this forum in particular wrote that tirade she went on after Daniel told her Phyllis wasn't dead. At least we now know the show isn't trying to gaslight us wrt what Phyllis is doing to her kids.

Okay, now Daniel's problem is that he was raised by Danny. No, Phyllis, Daniel's issue is having a psycho mommy who's deliberately creating a wall between him and his sister. Divide and conquer.

Nate has impressive brown-nosing skills. He was so far up Victor's a$$ today he could probably taste what Vic ate for dinner last night. Olivia would not be proud.

This m.f.-er. Nate is now making himself out to be the victim in his situation with Lily and Devon. What I don't understand is why Victor was acting like he didn't know better.

Poor Diane. She thought the ankle monitor was the worst part of her day but then Billy showed up to offer his unsolicited "wisdom." He has no clue how much in the dark he is.

Man, Christine sure turned on a dime after Chance gave her the proof about undead Red. I suspect she's more embarrassed than anything else, now to realize what a fool Phyllis made of her and how half the town knows it.

Summer told Phyllis not to leave her hotel room. Please, has she met that nutbag before?

[NinjaPenguins]

Lily: Dude, you look rough.

Daniel: I feel rough.

Lily: The only thing you’ll find at the bottom of that mug is probably a fifth of gin.

Daniel: Is it that obvious?

Lily: To a trained observer like me, yes. You can always call me if you’re having trouble sleeping. Devon calls me human Sominex.

Daniel: Can you come upstairs to my room for a minute? Don’t worry. I have no etchings.

@@@@@@@

Phyllis: Man, do I love googling myself. And looking myself up online too.

@@@@@@@

Victor: Good day, Detective.

Chance: Don’t even today, you shambling bag of bones and money.

Victor: My messenger bat brought me news of the murder of Phyllis Summers by Diane Jenkins. Any truth to the story?

Chance: Fuck outta here.

Victor: I demand to be in the loop.

Chance: Nope.

Victor: Youhaveagooddaynow.

@@@@@@@@

Billy: This is what I love, sitting at a coffee shop, people watching, making silent judgments… oh, Victoria! Got that getting laid swagger going on.

Victoria: Uh, I think it’s the shoes.

Billy: I noticed the shoes. I believe they’re called ‘fuck me’ pumps?

Victoria: I noticed your nostrils. I believe they’re called the abyss you can fuck off into.

Billy: I’m rebuff proof, babe. So when can I meet him?

Victoria: Well, I am seeing someone. Nate Hastings.

Billy: Time to make out loud judgments.

@@@@@@@@@

Summer: Oh noes. I carelessly left an obvious clue to my chicanery in plain sight. Supergirl to the rescue!

Diane: Kyle’s asshole sniffing dog is barking up a storm - oh! Summer, hello. What’s with all the bags?

Summer: Kyle’s hair products. And donations to the Neil Winters Statue in Chancellor Park fundraiser.

Diane: Oh, I wish I’d known. Kyle has so many nipple hugging shirts I’d love to shitcan.

Summer: You can donate year round to Neil related causes. I’m going on a drive after I drop this shit off. Byeeee.

Diane: Before you go, I wanted to apologize for the problems my situation has caused in your marriage. The ones not caused by the repressed quasi-incest and asshole thing.

Summer: Fine, fine. Pardon me while I run off like I just robbed a bank.

@@@@@@@

Daniel: I’ve been lying to you. I was sworn to secrecy, but I recently learned that promises made to assholes aren’t enforceable by statute.

Lily: This sounds pretty juicy.

Daniel: My mom’s still alive.

Lily: What the fuckety fuck now?

Daniel: It’s a long, sordid tale of murder, lies and the hypnotic power of gray velour.

@@@@@@@@

Billy: Nate? That two faced motherfucker?

Victoria: Suddenly you’re the sex police? Arrest yourself for failure to appear between the sheets.

Billy: Isn’t he living with Elena?

Victoria: Not anymore. Ambition is one hell of an aphrodisiac.

Billy: Gross.

Victoria: Relax, dummy. I’m not planning to shoehorn Nate into the family and make him browbeat the kids until they accept him. Only a deranged idiot would do that.

Billy: …

@@@@@@@@@@

Victor: Sit down, Natey Nate Nate. Victor holds his fist out to Nate, who happily kisses the arcane signet ring emitting tendrils of black mist on the Newman knuckle.

Nate: Nice to you see you. But let’s cut straight to the chase. Is this a meeting about Newman Media or a BBQ where I’m slathered in sauce and grilled over briquettes?

@@@@@@@@

Phyllis: Oh, I missed you, Summer. I’ve been talking to myself. Talking to myself a lot. What’s weird is how much fucked up shit I say. And the lies! Of course, it’s not a lie if you believe it. Never mind. My integrity is unmatched.

Summer: Yeah. So here’s some clothes. Why did I have to buy so many tube socks?

Phyllis: Forget it. How are you doing? LOL! I don’t care.

Summer: I’m alright.

Phyllis: Whatever. How’s that bitch Diane? Prancing about the Abbott Manor, lording her impending freedom over the rubes? I hope that ankle monitor glitches and goes up like a roman candle. Burn, witch, burn!

Summer: Caw caw!

Phyllis: And what about the Bug? Is that uptight sandy vagina still not buying Daniel’s story? I need deets, asshole.

Summer: I don’t know. Fuck my brother. That fucking fuck. I asked that fart sucking clown to do the simplest thing, to give us time to manipulate the situation, but noooooo. I hate him.

Phyllis: One thing I am going to do is heal the relationship between you and Daniel. It’s my fault you’re fighting. Gosh, I can see why Victor gets off on pitting his kids against each other.

Summer: Your other child can choke on a bottle cap.

@@@@@@@

Victoria: Let’s talk about a less touchy subject. How about the kids? Let’s talk about our lovely children. Johnny can’t seem to zip it about the big family dinner the other night.

Billy: Well, the turtle parmigiana was off the hook.

Victoria: What an interesting guest list. Your ex, her current, the son stealer, Connor, Johnny and Daniel’s daughter, Lucy.

Billy: The kids had fun. Chelsea blatherskiting on about Omega Sphere was like getting a vasectomy with a weed whacker.

Victoria: You might want to look into that.

@@@@@@@@@@@

Victor: Are we not old friends? Can we not catch up?

Nate: Sure. I just felt like this meeting might have been triggered by Nick’s irrational hatred of me. He doesn’t respect my business acumen because I took Newman Media away from Sally. He loathes me personally because of my relationship with Victoria.

Victor: I can assure you that Nick does not know what acumen is. Idontgiveadamn what he thinks about anything. I form my own opinion.

Nate: I’ve always respected that about you, sir. A pigheaded refusal to consider other views is how I roll too.

Victor: Your ass kissing is exemplary. Since you brought it up, what are your plans for my daughter?

Nate: You want to know my intentions toward Victoria.

Victor: I see you are skilled in translating plain English into even plainer English. As you know, Victoria had a very bad experience with Ashland Locke. You were best man at the wedding, were you not?

Nate: My bad. Whatever happened to that guy?

Victor: True story. He turned into Josh Lewis and lost his damn mind.

Nate: I can assure you that I would never undermine Victoria or the company. She wouldn’t allow it and neither would you.

Victor: It would be a good way to receive a fatal blow to the head from a killer baboon and have your body used for obscure necromantic rituals.

Nate…

@@@@@@@@@

Lily: Look, Daniel… I know Phyllis is your mother and you’re happy she’s alive. I’d still like to beat her ass like a party piranha pinata 

Daniel: To be fair to my mother-

The third strike buzzer from Family Feud sounds.

Lily: You gotta stop hitting the copium pipe, my man. Try smoking some nope instead. Pretending to be dead isn’t what a mother does. It’s what a motherfucker does.

Daniel: I know.

Lily: Going to your own memorial and siphoning off everyone’s grief with your psychic tentacles is narcissistic as fuck. It’s so twisted that I almost can’t wrap my mind around it. Holy shit.

Daniel: Yeah.

Lily: She’s going to let an innocent woman go to jail unless she’s gifted a Get Out of Jail Free card? Is that right?

Daniel: I mean, Stark was trying to kill her. It was self defense.

Lily: So explain it to the police instead of burdening you and Summer like this.

Daniel: Ugh. Summer. That’s a whole ‘nother kettle of molten diarrhea.

@@@@@@@@

Phyllis: My other child? Who talks like that? Put some respect on his name.

Summer: No. POUT.

Phyllis: Hey, I’m not happy about what dumbass did either. But he’s still part of the family. We fuck around, we find out, we make up.

Summer: Don’t tell me how to feel about that choad. I don’t even understand why he’s like this.

Phyllis: He was raised by Danny, who always had his moral compass pointing at Do the Right Thing. He wasn’t even Daniel’s biological father! Still, he filled that impressionable little boy’s head with stuff and nonsense like ethics, values, honesty… 

Summer: Unbelievable that you lost custody to a monster like him. Wait, what does that say about our moral compass?

Phyllis: We get things done. We kick ass and take names. We do what needs to be done. We’re the Avengers of Genoa City.

Summer: Yay!

Phyllis: If I’d raised Daniel, we could have dumped Stark’s body in a lake as a family.

@@@@@@@

Victor: If I hadn’t been there, I wouldn’t have believed it. Genghis Khan kicked in the dick by a wild horse! Of course, no one dared to laugh.

Nate: Another amazing story, sir. You know, it was you who inspired me to take business courses in college.

Victor: Really? Well now, that is a very strategic bit of flattery.

Nate: Of course, I learned a lot by reading your biography by Bram Stoker.

Victor: You are proving to be an astute polisher of apples. Do you ever miss that little healing lark?

Nate: I became a doctor to follow in my mother’s footsteps. Then I realized it was much easier to be a jerkweed like my dad. I mean, my hand was injured and I could no longer operate or masturbate skillfully.

Victor: You seem to have a flair for corporate maneuvering. Have you made amends with your family?

Nate: They’ve villified, crucified and deep fried me. I keep offering platitudes and insincere apologies, but they refuse to forgive.

Victor: A lesson, young man: never apologize. Ever. Stare people right in the eye, grab your crotch and invite them to feast on your brass balls. Now let us go outside and stand so that the camera shot makes us look like we’re getting married.

Nate: Brilliant suggestion as always, sir.

@@@@@@@@

Billy: Hello, Diane. Might the lord of the manor be in?

Diane: No. Jack is on an exciting adventure. He’s going to the book store to buy me a book. Oh, the things he’ll see! People, trees, cars…

Billy: There’s this little invention called the window. Check it out some time.

Diane: Thanks, dipshit. What did you need Jack for?

Billy: A little Jabot business. I’m thinking I deserve a little jabonus for all my hard work.

Diane: I miss the office.

Billy: How are you doing?

Diane: I’m just counting the days until animal control finds Phyllis and wrangles her like a rogue alligator. Then I’ll be proven innocent and everyone will have to eat shit.

Billy: I hope you are exonerated. If my brother can’t get married, it will destroy him. No pressure though. Wait a second. What’s that about Phyllis?

Diane: I don’t know. What about her?

Billy: I sort of have a… a thing for Jack’s ladies. Fortunately for Phyllis, she got the benefit of my sexual expertise, my sexpertise, before you killed her.

Diane: Just proves you don’t need a literal dumpster to fuck trash.

@@@@@@@@

Daniel: Summer is just as bad as my mother. She defends her and makes excuses and keeps covering for her. She doesn’t care that Diane could go to prison. She blames all this shit on me.

Lily: That’s her problem and Phyllis’ problem. It’s not your fault and not your problem. I’m sorry if I’ve been harsh, but it pisses me off to see what your mom is doing to you. I could give her a Molotov cocktail suppository right now.

Daniel: Hey, if we can’t be honest with each other, what’s the point?

Lily: Your mother is going to have to eat the shit sandwich of justice, Daniel.

Daniel: I know, I know. What was it like when you went to prison for Hilary’s death?

Lily: It was great. We held cell block musicals, made dresses out of old newspapers and sipped mai tais by the prison pool. How the fuck do you think it was? It sucked. But I had to go.

Daniel: It sounds awful.

Lily: It sure as hell was, but my actions cost someone their life. There are consequences for that. I couldn’t look Devon in the eye if I didn’t accept them. I couldn’t live with myself.

Daniel: It’s nice to talk to a non psychopath.

@@@@@@@@

Phyllis: These snacks are amazing. Amazing.

Summer: Everything tastes better in hiding.

Phyllis: I’m working on that. I’mma find something about Jeremy Stark that proves he deserved the death penalty. Then I’m a freeeeeeee bird.

Summer: Stark picking up a pair of scissors and physically backing you into the bathroom and trying to stab you would seem sufficient. Like seriously. How could you muff that obvious out?

Phyllis: That’s blood under the bridge. I’m also studying the Wisconsin penal code. I know I can outwit the legal system.

Summer: Did you find any loopholes?

Phyllis: Well, no, but I’ve got more research to do. I’m going to hunt down the porn mustache that Jeremy paid to be there when Diane poisoned me and I died. Ha ha ha. Too soon?

Summer: Not funny. That guy is probably flaunting his perverse facial hair on a tropical island somewhere.

Phyllis: I’m going to keep some bribery money on ice just in case the other stuff falls through.

Summer: This is why I want Daniel eaten by a pack of feral wolverines. We need more time to formulate a plan to keep you out of prison. Daniel told all the wrong people and now it’s a race against the clock. You keep your ass on lockdown until we get you a pardon.

Phyllis: Whatever.

@@@@@@@@@

Chance: Hi, Christine. Man, I feel like a Canadian mint.

Christine: You have the test results?

Chance: You better sit down.

Christine: That bad, huh?

Chance: Bad to the bone. The fingerprints on the program, the DNA in the tear stain. All belong to the so-called deceased.

Christine: Fuck a duck.

Chance: And since the programs were published after Phyllis “died”, that means -

Christine: Crispy is actually tartare.

Chance: Bingo.

Christine: Well, fuck me running, swimming and pole vaulting. Of course Phyllis faked her own death. Of course she did. You didn’t hear this from me, but I wish Phyllis could be thrown with great force off Mount Everest into a pit of okra.

Chance: I hear you. We look pretty… not smart.

Christine: She watched her family and friends grieve in a disgusting act of masturbatory voyeurism. I swear by all that is holy, I’ll pop her head off like a dandelion and shit down her neck.

Chance: It was quite a plan they put together, Stark and Phyllis. Vengeance and velour are a dangerous combination.

Christine: My big return to the DA’s office is nothing but hot buttered ass thanks to that overexposed chlamydia sample. These rich motherfuckers want the law to protect them and their shit from the unwashed masses. Is that enough? Fuck no! We’re supposed to shield their gilded asses from the consequences of their own crimes!

Chance: Louder for the rich motherfuckers in the back.

Christine: When I’m through with Phyllis, she’ll wish she’d backed up over my azz.

Yes,  of course Saint Crispy 2.0 will be able to clear her name by looking into Stark’s past. It will be another crime Saint Crispy has committed that she will never be held accountable.  I don’t get it, I just don’t get it. Crispy 2.0 is now looking for a reason, in Stark’s past, as to why she had to kill him. Crispy 2.0 is looking for the EMT but how is he going to help?  He knows that Crispy 2.0 was in on the plot to fake her death. Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ what iron clad justification for what mommy did can you come up with?  The fact that mommy dearest is a psycho and can’t be held responsible for framing Diane?  Of course Crispy 2.0 is still on her high horse when talking about Diane.  Truer words could not have been spoken about the difference between Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ being her daughter and Daniel being Danny’s son.  With Crispy 2.0 a moral compass is not required.  Shoot from the hip and do what you need to do to get the job done.  

If Victor wants to be kept in the loop about Diane’s case, he should ask Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️.  Chance givers her a lot of information about the case.

Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ you can hardly sneak out of the house so how are you going to sneak into the GCAC to give Crispy 2.0 all the things in those bags.  Did mom lend you her dark wig and glasses to make you invisible?  

Please don’t this the wrong way but Natey Nate Nate is a “ brown nose” by blowing smoke up Victor’s ass telling him he read his book and took business courses in college.  Victor asks Natey Nate Nate the question about his attentions toward Cruella.  Natey Nate Nate is very cagey about his answer in talking about business and not their personal relationship.  Victor is getting a little slow because he actually accepted Natey Nate Nate’s convoluted answer. 

For me Cruella wearing a dress that is above the knee is much more bearable than Cruella wearing a dress with a slit up to her thigh. With that slit Cruella is trying to be sexy 🤢🤮. 

Brava Christine brava. Now that you found out that you were duped by Crispy 2.0 you are all full of piss and vinegar in nailing Crispy 2.0’s hide to the wall. What is Christine going to do about nailing Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️’s hide to the wall?  

Crispy 2.0 is alive and she has no idea what she has unleashed.  Crispy 2.0 absolutely knows but does she actually gives 💩💩. 

Nostrils beside the cavernous holes in your nose, you have a big pair of balls telling Diane if she doesn’t clear her name that she could bring down Jack and his family. Nostrils should know, he’s the master of bringing down Jack and the Abbott family.

I haven’t liked Lily since CK took over the role eleventy-five years ago. And I was cheering for her today.

I’ve hated Christine since her dad wrote her into the heroine/victim role for every single SL. And I was cheering for her today.

I can't remember the last time I've rewatched an episode of Show but I did today, at least all the CK and LLB scenes.  Both did excellent work, especially CK.  

Lily laid out what a wretch Phyllis is while not in any way making that Daniel's fault or responsibility.  She used the example of her own life to put it into perspective and her assessment of Phyllis's lack of mothering skills was devastating.  CK had fire and believablity today, very well done IMO.

Finally, the Christine I was waiting for, the one who knows exactly how low Phyllis will slither instead of that stranger who kept insisting Phyllis had "limits".  Well done.

Phyllis lamenting that Daniel has a sense of morality because he was raised by Danny was just another full admission of her viciousness.  As usual, she forgets to mention that Danny isn't even Daniel's father, just the dupe she chose to foist fatherhood onto, something Danny did with honor and love. 

No way Victor buys the crap Nate's selling, I don't believe it.  

Diane missed the chance for the perfect crime.  She had ButtBiscuit all alone, she's confined to the house.  She could have pushed him schnozz first into Mrs. Martinez meat grinder and then served him up as steak tartare to Ashley as a peace offering.

But even a good episode like today's can't have everything, I guess.

Lol at Christine’s outrage. Did she not have a decades long feud with the lunatic? 
I couldn’t figure out what it was that had all those stickers on it. I thought Phyllis had gotten ahold of the GCPDs investigation board. It turns out it’s a used laptop.

[WhitneyWhit]

So the Red Hot is looking for Stark’s past crimes as a justification for killing him? That’s not how that works. That makes you look like a crazy vigilante. Oh wait…

 

So who’s name did she use to check into the GCAC’s one room? And nobody saw Summer looking like a walking luggage cart climbing the stairs? The whole town lives there. I mean I know Devon wouldn’t notice as he would be too busy vacantly staring at Neil’s picture but someone else sure would have noticed. 
 

I know it’s just shitty plot driven writing to have Christine AKA Phylis’ personal speed bump all angry now when she was pretty much defending Phylis a month ago but I did enjoy her rage. 

[Tippi]

Ninja, your latest episode summation was the cheese on my burger!  If I wasn't such a lazy lump, I'd look up that scene in A Christmas Story where the teacher writes A++++++++ on the blackboard and post it here.  And add a couple hundred more pluses (plusses?) to your grade for the day!

Looking for signs the set decorators have changed up the props in the 'different' rooms has become my drinking game.  So far, I'm stone cold sober.  I do look for other oddities.  Such as the "Do not disturb" card on the doorknob when Dummer entered and it not being there when she left.  (Seriously, is Phylth going to hole up until she gets a Holy Dispensation?  That room will need more fumigation than the Grungy Potato.  And whose credit card is that room on? Both former occupants are supposedly dead.)  Also, every one seems to be on the same floor so some one should be able to see Dummer come and go.  Possibly Daniel or Lily?

I have the feeling MS decorated that herself-the prop people are just not that ambitious.  Is pawning a laptop even done?  She's got all that bribe money-go to Best Buy and get a new one, ffs.  Also, even though Findlaw is a free service for looking up statutes and laws and stuff (Westlaw is better but costs money), I don't think Phylth can find all the loopholes she thinks are there before Housekeeping busts down the door.

  Hope she's not too embarrassed to drop the charges against Diane. To say she 'withdraws the charges' may make it sound a little better-either way, the Bug has no case.  On another note:  why doesn't Chance just stake out Dummer and follow her around?  It would lead him right to Phylth.

Maybe the "let's prove Phyllis innocent" storyline is infuriating, because from the start hasn't it been shaky as a pile of Pick Up Sticks? No one seems to be questioning what bodies were in that ambulance, no morgue ever seemed to notice they were missing? So, Phyllis must still be in possession of the fake ID documents and her $. Currently there are 86 countries that have NO extradition treaties with the USA. My suggestion is the show writer send her to one, ASAP.  If reading this forum posts have given JG any opinion that Phyllis' character is one of the great soap villains, that fans love to "hate watch," he is wrong. Most posts I read are bored with this character, and the overwrought, histrionic acting attempts the actress portraying her demonstrates. Wow! I was shocked at the flashbacks showing Sharon with face muscles that still moved. She is proof positive to me that trying to "look young" has actually over-aged her. Cameron is giving me Dean Winters as "Mayhem" in those Allstate Insurance ads. Not a very good look for Summer to be hating Diane by proxy for Phyllis. There are some theories that psychopathic personalities are genetic, this storyline seems to be going there. My suggestion is Summer disappear with her Mommy Dearest, and launch a new office for the Marchetti Home Decor division of Jabot called, "Scorched Earth."

^ yes, she did mention that. She pretty much brought up all of the huge clusterfuck that Phyllis created.

Oh Daniel please don't get sucked into your sister's horribleness. Summon every bit of goody two shoesness you got from Danny and run, don't walk to Chance and tattle on her with what she knows about your mom. Get her for obstruction. It would be so sweet!

And I couldn't believe her when she was incredulous that Cricket would have a grudge against Syphillis. Like she hadn't tried to run her down twice. Not to mention the other 1000 things that could be listed.

[babyhouseman]

Phyllis put an octopus in Christine's and Paul's bed. Paul was so traumatized he went overseas to have a love affair with the octopus like in that documentary, My Octopus Teacher.

Hey, Sharon's house. Long time no see.

I'm sorry but Cameron standing there with his shirt open looking like he just finished a hard winter of being a ski bum up in Telluride did nothing for me. AFAIC Cameron is like Grizzly Adams with a suburban dad bod. 🙄

Summer, the least of your psycho mommy's worries would be a big media company finding out she's alive. She's got Christine on her tail now and the Bug is hella pissed.

And then Chance shows up in another boring workman blouse (😼). Where's his bare chest at? His bare chest glistening with a fine patina of perspiration as he lies back on a bed of white satin. 😜😜😜

Borgnine. No self-respecting cat would want to be called that. (Wikipedia describes the late actor Ernest Borgnine as having a Cheshire Cat grin. Whuuut? )

Nick continuing to go on the warpath about Nate must mean Nate is going to pull something outrageous at NE/MN and get stomped by the Newmans. Alrighty then.

Lol, was Cameron about to beat off to Sharon's photo? I thought the staging of that scene was odd, to put it mildly.

So Allie's working in Paris and Noah's back in London. Guess we won't be seeing either of them again any time soon, if ever.

Daniel is handling Summer all wrong. I feel like he should just follow her to Phyllis' hiding place instead of arguing with her.

Um, what's the significance of cigars between Sharon and Cameron? Please tell me it's not something kinky, à la Bill and Monica.

You really can’t say like mother like daughter. Crispy 2.0 is not stupid she just a narcissistic vindictive bitch. Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ is a stupid dimwitted child who has been programmed to be an obedient automaton by Crispy 2.0.  Sometimes Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ only seems not to be controlled by Crispy 2.0 but once Crispy 2.0 lays on the guilt trip Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ reverts to being an automaton.  

Now let’s talk about the difference between Crispy 2.0 and Diane. I’m sure back in the day Diane gave as good as she received. Diane did abandon Kyle which was a shit ass thing to do but she came back to life though with a lot of baggage to reunite with Kyle.  Diane did remind Kyle of how much he was hurt by her. Crispy 2.0 also abandon her children and came back to life with a ton of baggage.  Diane didn’t weaponize Kyle upon her return but Crispy 2.0, in wanting to clear her name first kept Diane twisting in the wind. Crispy 2.0 thought nothing of weaponizing Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ to do her bidding and by doing so, Crispy 2.0  made Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ into a felon.  

 

Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ I hate to tell you but the EMT would be more harmful than helpful to Crispy 2.0’s story. He wasn’t there when Crispy 2.0 killed Stark. Also, he can’t definitely say that Stark actually forced Crispy 2.0 to fake her death and frame Diane.  Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ I would say that Stark’s murder is the least of her mom’s problems. It would be easier to prove self defense than Stark forcing her to frame Diane. 

Did anyone else notice that Crispy 2.0’s room is just down the corridor from Audra’s room on the 5th floor?  

Banana Breath are you that dense.  One year of college doesn’t make Faith a scholar 🤥. At best, Faith is an academic but mostly she’s a co-ed.  So now Noah and Ally have been banished. Noah to the UK and Ally to Paris. I could have sworn that Jack said that Ally moved in with Noah to avoid the drama at the Abbott homestead. 

Charges have bin dropped for Diane so now Michael is free to represent Crispy 2.0 if he wants to. I’m sure Lauren will encourage him to do so. 

Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ you are very very close to earning another ❄️.  How in the world did Daniel put Crispy 2.0 in danger by telling everyone she was alive?  Chance and Christine had their doubts but it was Jack who put Chance on the evidence that Crispy 2.0 was alive.  Jack would have been looking for evidence to exonerate Diane no matter what anyway. 

Natey Nate Nate, Banana Breath has always been Cruella’s noble protector.  It’s not because of Locke.

Because, because, because, you know DIANE is now free!  Poor Bluethooth.  I wish she could have been there to have seen Chance snipping the monitor from Diane's ankle. Fashion Police observation:  I don't know if it was black or a deep teal blue, but I loved Diane's blouse.

I strongly object to EB’s grin in comparison to a Cheshire Cat.  First of all EB has a space between his front teeth and the Cheshire Cat has perfect teeth. Second of all Cheshire Cat was my wife’s nickname.  If I was able to post a picture of her, you would see a perfect Cheshire Cat smile.  Like the Cheshire Cat, my wife would engage you in amusing, perplexing, and philosophical conversation.

Josh Morrow's been playing Nick Newman for 29 years now.  29.  Lotta years.

Apparently his acting skills peaked 3 months into the gig and he's been on autopilot ever since.  

He can do the beer hat, board shorts bro with a bong in one hand and a Dilly bar in the other.  He can yuck it up with his gap toothed 'ain't I just the funnest guy' self aware smirk, hands-in-the-pocket, always ready for an erection if one is called or even uncalled for.  But what he CAN'T do is anything else.  Anything.  

He was stomping around in the Newman office and nail salon today, stalwart chin pushed out, narrowed-eyed, bellowing about the return of Kirstie Alley or James Cameron or whatever the hell the Big Bad with the scraggle beard and my-but-you've-been-out-in-the-sun-too-long complexion but I've seen more believable tryouts for a high school production of "Annie" than JM did today.

I hope Show is only paying him in circus peanuts.

Hey look, Faith brought home an invisible cat!!  Then she got to meet the invisible baby!  Sharon got a box of invisible cigars while at the coffee house, Dummer stuggled to find her invisible set of ethics.

At least we had the pleasure of Susan Walter's always good acting and Peter Bergman only bit his lip once.  Christine and Michael were good, as well.

I almost forgot.  Audra made a big mistake letting Nate into her hotel room.  Besides his ButtBiscuitesque manspreading, there's no way on earth housekeeping will ever get the stench of his smug self-regard out of that room.

Maybe he can be Phyllis's next love?

Um, what's the significance of cigars between Sharon and Cameron? Please tell me it's not something kinky, à la Bill and Monica.

“Ethel Merman marrying schmuck” is priceless!! The comments on this board sometimes make me snort laugh…and this was one of them. I thought I was the only person who remembered those two were married; briefly, I think. I can’t always remember spouses of relations (unless divorce was scandalous in a fun way) but can somehow remember Ernest and Ethel.

[WhitneyWhit]

It was awfully rude of Nick to immediately start talking about Nate and Victoria as Nikki clearly wanted to tell him all about her morning spent competing in the annual Genoa City Farrah Fawcet cosplay championship. 
 

I know Chance borrowed Cameron’s shirt but did he also borrow his pants? Those looked about five inches too long for him. 
 

I don’t know what shocks Summer more: that the woman her mother tried to kill doesn’t like her, or with Crispy being alive Diana can’t go to prison for murder. 
 

I would imagine Cameron’s antics would have made him pretty well known in Genoa City, yet there he is just meandering into the GCAC. Honestly, all these richer than god people and not a ring camera between them. 

[Snaporaz]

They couldn't borrow a real cat from a shelter and then do a little adoption PSA for the shelter at the end of the show?  Whatever, I have a really bad feeling that the invisible cat will be Cameron's first victim.  Animals never fare well on this show.

Oh Daniel please don't get sucked into your sister's horribleness. Summon every bit of goody two shoesness you got from Danny and run, don't walk to Chance and tattle on her with what she knows about your mom. Get her for obstruction. It would be so sweet!

And I couldn't believe her when she was incredulous that Cricket would have a grudge against Syphillis. Like she hadn't tried to run her down twice. Not to mention the other 1000 things that could be listed.

Since Summer is so ungrateful that Daniel saved her dumb ass from being implicated for aiding-and-abetting or acessory-after-the-fact, he should go straight to Chance and do just what you suggest.

When Ethel Merman wrote her autobiography in 1978 , her Chapter XXVIII, titled, "My Marriage to Ernest Borgnine" opened to a single blank page.

That's all she (didn't) write.

He was a great Mermaid Man, though. Spongebob aficionados will know what I mean. I always imagined that he had a wonderful time voicing that character with Tim Conway, who was an equally funny Barnacle Boy.

Oh no! If the show does this then I will drop it for good and never, ever watch it again. It makes me sick to even think about it. :-(

Amen to this. I don't even think putting him in a suit would help.  Doesn't the hotel have a barber shop?

My prediction is that Borgnine will spend the summer on a play date with Oliver.

Goodness, just skip to Sally getting back with Adam and Nick with Sharon already. I don’t get what the hold up is, Sally’s never been in love with Nick (and Nick’s never been in love with her, save his territory-marking gesture). Nobody’s invested in this couple, just break them up.

 I will say Sally’s had just as much cosmetic surgery as Sharon, so she’s also totally unable to convey emotions beyond intense annoyance/constipation. It may be something that TPTB are using to prop up JM’s lack of ability; at least he’s not getting out acted anymore.

I wonder how SC feels watching these flashbacks of herself.

I don’t think it’ll even be the fact that Summer didn’t tell Kyle about Phyllis being alive that blows up their marriage; I think Kyle would be able to understand she was in an impossible situation. It’ll be him remembering all these times when she just lied to his face. You said you had to go to work, but instead went to the club, and then said you were stopping at the club to get a gift card for Diane on your way to work, but then decided not to get the gift card (even though you’re already in the building) or go to work but just go home…? If anything, since Kyle already knows Phyllis isn’t dead and Diane’s already been exonerated, Summer could start opening up to him and being more honest, but instead she’s just digging in deeper and deeper.

This actor skeeves me out! He doesn't have a gut but he looks like he does, like he's a bloated alkie with a side meth habit. He's disgusting and I don't need to see his body, like, ever.

Isn’t the actor playing Cameron Kirsten married to Susan Walters aka Diane?

[Waldo13]

Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ deep down inside Kyle knew his was innocent but deep down inside you know your mother is guilty. I see a little resentment on Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️’s face because Diane is free and Crispy 2.0 is not. 

Finally the monkeys with a keyboard are letting Sally’s pregnancy show 👍. 

I don’t know where Cameron is actually from, but he definitely got the craggily look of a man from the mountains, but he’s definitely a fish out of the water in LA. 

The storyline of Lucy begins with her questioning Lily about young love.  I get the feeling that there will be a boy in her future and it’s not Johnny. 

I’m getting too old to judge the age of young woman so I has to look it up. There is only about a 3 year difference in the RL aged between Faith and Lucy but Lucy would also be a credible Faith.  Lucy and Faith look like they are only a year apart.

Again I have to say that Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ is like the “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”. I should start calling her Maggie (Elizabeth Taylor’s character from the movie) but it’s two much fun putting the ❄️ after Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️’s name. 

Sharon’s story is very compelling and it puts her, for me, in a higher regard.  The only problem I have it’s not easy to jump out of a jet plane going over 300mph with little or no experience.  The military jumps out of a jet plane going about 130mph and that out a large back door and not a small side door.  Banana Breath gave Sharon instructions on pulling the rip cord but not instructions on how to land. I hope they had sport parachutes so the landing would be much much slower.  The younger pre Botox Sharon is actually very pretty. I think the older Sharon would be prettier without the Botox.  Maybe a few wrinkles would give her face more character. 

I’ve always wonder why Chance doesn’t carry a gun or at least a taser.  He might need one of them confronting Cameron. 

Sally and Adam 🔥🔥🔥. I can’t say that enough. 

If Cameron does anything to Faith, I will fly to GC myself and kick the 💩 out of him. My two pet peeves are men who beat women and men who abuses children 😤😤. 

[Joimiaroxeu]

What was that crocheted vest thing Lucy had on today? It looked to me like she was wearing two gigantic pot holders sewn together. Oy.

Lol, Cam, women are allowed to have their own cell phones now. Sally didn't need your chivalrous offer to place a call for her.

But wait, could Cameron have done enough homework to know Sally is Nick's girlfriend? He may have been trying to gauge whether Sally's important enough to Nick to get him away from guard duty at Sharon's house.

I thought Lucy went way overboard about Lily and Daniel having been married when they were much younger. And she's awfully chipper all of sudden. Hmm.

Dang, I was not ready for how brutally Cameron had treated Sharon back in the day. He put his whole body into that punch. Why was Sharon alone with him if there was already a history of him beating her?

Whaaattt???? Nick and Sharon had to parachute out of a jet with Cameron in tow. Was the pilot dead or something?

Be funny if Kyle starts to suspect Summer of cheating on him because she keeps acting squirrelly for no apparent reason.

Lucy calls Heather "Mom" now. Interesting.

When Faith bumped into Cameron I actually recoiled in horror. Don't go there, JG. Not even if it ends up with Cameron dead for real this time. 😐

Oliver is the kitten/cat that was rescued by Connor in the park a few years ago.

Hasn't been mentioned or seen since then, so might be in the garage with Christian.

After watching the Sharon/Cameron flashbacks, I have to say I prefer her original nose. Wonder if the nose job is why her voice is so nasal now.  It didn’t used to be.

[mjt626]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, JM needs to understand that his character works best when he’s in family mode with Sharon.

[Waldo13]

I was reading an article about Linden (Cameron) and Susan (Diane) working together again.  They are on the show together but there will be little to no contact. 
In the article there was a picture of Susan and Linden probably when they were in their early 20’s. They were and still are a very good looking couple. Susan’s two daughters, both in their early 30’s look like their mother. They met on a TV drama called “Loving” where they played cousins. Susan was 23 and Linden was 26. They both have played together on a few other TV shows.
