There are only three places for dinner in the whole f&cking city:  Society, GCAC and the coffee house, (if you bring your own food).  None of these people seem to eat at home (even the ones with children) so a last minute invitation has a 30 per cent chance that the invitee will already be in the place to which you are inviting them.

I'm enjoying Melissa Ordway acting with Bryton more than I have anyone else she's been with. 

Years ago when Devon became a rich person he and Abby 'dated' to commiserate how difficult it was to have money. Abby was kind of showing him the ropes of rich and famous. They were a good couple then and I hoped the show was going to pair them up.  Well, better late than never.

I'll sit at that table with you and boes. Once I got over the "scandal" of how they got together, I realized that I actually like Abby and Devon as a couple. And until they sent Dom off to look for his blocks in the attic, the three of them made a cute little family.

Which leads me to wonder if Show is ever going to address Chance being his legal father. Or are they just going to drop it and pretend like all of that never happened. Because everyone seems to be settling into the idea of "Devon is Dom's Dad". Chance doesn't get mentioned much in that circle, and Chance and Abby have only dropped throwaway lines (and not that recently that I can recall) about coparenting Dom.

I had to laugh. “Chief Talent Officer” is an executive position?  It’s nothing more than a fancy name for the head of HR.

OK, so I Googled "Chief Talent Officer” and came up with the following:

"A Chief Talent Officer is in charge of the organization's internal and external talent acquisition strategy, especially for C-suite candidates (i.e. executives, managers, and team leaders). This is a senior-level role aiming to create high-performance teams that help companies grow."

"Chief talent officers oversee all departments within a business and freely suggest changes to major policies."

"A chief talent officer (CTO) is an upper management-level position in human resources. As a CTO, you identify, recruit, and manage talent relationships to benefit company performance."

"A Chief Talent Officer is a human resources executive who supports the overall business plan of a company/organization through talent management and performance monitoring."

I'm thinking that one benefit Diane finds in starting out as the CTO at Jabot is that it would provide her with the opportunity to search for and hire "C-suite candidates (i.e. executives, managers, and team leaders)" who will be loyal to her in her climb up Jabot's corporate ladder - or maybe she wants to make everyone think that she couldn't be any threat at all by occupying a lower-level position in Jabot's corporate hierarchy - whatever the case, Diane's got plans.

Thanks for mentioning that, I'd totally blanked out that they'd sorta/kinda dated.  Maybe they're friends off screen and that's why there's an ease between them that I haven't seen her have with anyone else, at least to this extent.

How many executives, managers, and team leaders that Jabot hires that Diane can make loyal to her?  Climbing up the corporate latter would be based on performance not by having loyal employees. Lower level employees are more of a hindrance than a benefit to your climbing the corporate latter. Look at Natey Nate Nate and Audra who both will walk over upper management to get their job.  Diane might be gaslighting Jack, but I, for one, do not think so.

I’m really beginning to think that we’re being gaslighted. MS is really writing these comments because there’s no other explanation for this.

[Joimiaroxeu]

^^^Yes, I've started thinking the same thing.

MS--or someone acting on her behalf--has long been suspected of posting gushing statements about her performance as Phyllis or about Phyllis herself on another Y&R forum.* This probably isn't the place to be trying to pull that kind of stuff though, especially not in a "fact" versus "opinion" kind of way.

*I don't think she's the only cast member who does it. They seem to be treating it as another type of PR.

Phyllis left her “best friend” a voicemail frantically begging for help to save her from Diane even though she knew they would spend the rest of their lives feeling responsible for her murder. At that time she had no intention of ever coming back by her own admission. She literally not only caused her BFF immense grief and pain—intentionally and unilaterally—she also multiplied the pain exponentially solely to further her bullshit caper. And she did it with every intention of leaving that guilt on them for the rest of their lives. Why? To punish them for not telling her she was right. (“Well they’re gonna feel terrible when…”) I said it before: the whole reason she faked her death was to punish everyone who loved her for not co-signing her psycho obsession. So she would WIN.

Phyllis doesn’t give a watery damn about anyone. She doesn’t love anyone enough not to utterly destroy them to prove a point. Evidently.

You said Phyllis seems like a great best friend. I said she isn’t one. That was the scope of my post. I didn’t post about Diane, so I’m not sure why you’re asking why I don’t think Diane was wrong. She was obviously wrong, but that has nothing to do with what I said?

A YR group Facebook suggestion  that showed up on my page just posted this
 

“Ladies and gentlemen, I present the most recent group photo of the GCPD.”

Saying Phyllis is wrong doesn't mean Diane was right in what she did. Both were wrong in faking their deaths. I will say though that Phyllis went on and on about how wrong Diane was to do it...and then she did it!

Phyllis would be a "great friend" the same way a velocipraptor would be a great house pet.

Nick, Billy, & Devon are probably the only ones TIIC are worried about being upstaged by Chance. Because those are the 3 that are always in a relationship, and always shoved in our faces as amazing people & super attractive. Adam is the only one that has proven to  hold his own with Chance onscreen. In fact, Chance & Adam are friends but when is the last time we saw them onscreen together? Pure speculation on my part, but I assume someone behind the scenes got nervous when they saw the reception of Adam & Chance onscreen. I'm convinced they shut down Adam/Tucker being cool allies with lighting speed for similar reasons. 

But seriously, it's June....I think that Adam & Chance have maybe hung out and caught up once, if that. After everything they've both gone through since Christmas.

I agree that Chance being a true blue Chancellor/legacy character deserves much better than to play ring around the the dumbest Newman or be eluded by the force fed criminal of the season.

Yep and yep. I was looking forward to seeing Adam and Tucker get into some business shenanigans together but it seems like TPTB immediately shut their friendship down. Chance and Adam as buddies would be great too I think, especially since they're both single. But maybe since Chance might start dating Sharon it would be better to keep some distance between her ex and her possible future.

ICAM. I'm still mad about that stupid bicentennial event where Nikki and Victor got to swan around like they're the queen and king of GC. Meanwhile, Chance is an actual descendant of the founder of Genoa City and I don't think he was even there, was he? He showed up in an official law enforcement capacity after the Phyllis and Stark stuff happened.

Chance isn't the type who'd want to lord it over people that he's a social elite but IMO he should be shown proper deference anyway. Nope, the Newmans and Abbotts treat him like he's either their personal servant in the GCPD to handle their criming problems, or he's a minor annoyance and has no real authority over them.

I've seen that hairstyle (or lack of) on women like Nikki before! It is exactly how they look after the shampoo girl has finished, and put them back into their wheelchair to wait, until they are ready for their hair rollers or blow dry. The longer Summer sports that peach accordion pleated jumpsuit, the worse it gets. Nope to the matching lipstick, and she needs to get her "team" on the same track. Right now, they are all over the place, one high, one sideways and low. Glad to see Victor checking out Nate and Audra's  "It's a Small World" ride domination plans. Bad move for Grampire to assist in that EMT search. Oh, my, art imitates life today!! Show has kidnapped Faith. What a metaphorical plot device here ... same as the audience's faith in this show was kidnapped, a long, long time ago.

It felt out of character for Victor to acquiesce about helping Phyllis. Victor had never cared at all about cutting his grandchildrens’ non-Newman mothers out of their lives. In fact, judging by the fact that he has tried to forcibly pay nearly all of his grandkids’ moms to leave, he thinks they’re all better off being raised by Newmans exclusively. So I’m not buying one pout turn him around on that.

Whatever trauma and warping Summer’s been subjected to (which is a truckload), she’s also still the dumbest person on the show. Her “plan” to bring the EMT back a pay him to lie was stupid enough, but then you’re going to tell an officer of the court you plan to do that?? Michael isn’t even your attorney, not that privilege applies to intent to commit crimes. Setting aside how illegal all that is (which, thank you Michael), the guy’s not even a credible witness.

SC did a good job today with the Faith thing. I still didn’t enjoy her trying to flirt with Chance, I really don’t like them together. But it was light years better than JM living out his professional wrestling fantasies. “Now entering the ring… Silverback!!!”

My semi-anthropological observation of JM as NN is that he has exactly three facial expressions:

[NinjaPenguins]

What bothers me most about Chance (other than being too sexy for his shirt, so sexy it hurts) is the writing that forces him to be stupid to accommodate an absolutely ridiculous plot. Don’t treat your audience like they’re simpletons. If Chance and Christine have to be dumbed down to the point a carrot could do their jobs just as effectively, maybe your storyline is a trash fire in a sewage plant.

Cameron is just out there killing cats and running circles around Victor’s quite top tier security forces and the town’s only detective. Yet with all his preternatural criming ability, Kirsten showed up at Crimson Lights to point and laugh at Nick. Fortunately, he did it in front of a conveniently oblivious detective.

If you could make buildings out of whatever material constitutes Summer’s skull, no earthquake or tornado could touch them. Holy shit, what a dope. Daniel’s wide-eyed look of disbelief at Summer’s delusional idiocy was well played. I think Victor gave in to her just so she’d shut her pout flaps.

How can you not love the eternal joke that THIS time, finally, a Newman has done something so bad that the general public will be aghast.  Aghast, I tell you!  Pinkie fingers coldly extended world wide by Nick punching someone.

This is a family headed by a guy who fed rats to a guy he had in a cage, who replaced his business rival with a doppelganger, facilitated rape on said rival's wife, tossed a woman out of a moving ambulance and entones his orphan origin story with a regularity usually only brought on by a faithful adherence to Metamcuil.

It's almost as ridiculous as Ashley - again, aghast! - at how Diane could ruin the Abbott name and the company as a whole just by her mere presence.

Puhhhhhhhhhhleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze.  Denizens of Wisconsin and the surrounding planet can't be fazed by any antics committed by these doofuses, it's all old news to everybody.

Nikki said Victor has taken Nate under his wing. So is Nate the new Neil? Sure, Jan. Nate has gotten deeper into Victor's oldest daughter than his uncle did so he's got that going for him. 😏

CLB looked to me today like he'd lost some weight too. His face was thinner and Michael's suit seemed looser. Hope he's okay--assuming he's not on the Ozempic diet.

Phyllis video calls Summer to discuss their illegal activity while Summer is sitting in a public place. So stupid. But maybe it doesn't matter so much since half the town already knows Phyllis is alive.

How was it Victoria knew Nick had been arrested but Summer didn't?

FFS, Phyllis is going to skate on her crimes because she'll blame everything on day player Carson the EMT. Carson has exactly zero reason to return to GC to help Phyllis though. Why would he risk a likely arrest?

Dumba$$ Nate, counting his C-suite chickens before they're hatched, and right in Society where Victor could see him. I wonder if Audra noticed Victor standing there staring at her and Nate toasting each other?

Victor's ace investigators are stretched pretty thin. Now they have to track down both Cameron the dirtbag and Phyllis' body-snatching EMT. Oh well.

If I didn't know better I'd wonder if Victoria was in cahoots with Cameron. Nick being a violent loose cannon and ending up in jail plays right into Victoria's plans for loverboy Nate at NE/NM. And apparently TGVN can do nothing but stammer at her in disbelief. 🙄

I don't understand why Faith was taking a commercial flight back to Michigan. You'd think Grandpa Victor would've put his favorite granddaughter on his private jet, escorted by a whole security detail instead of one GCPD officer.

[Waldo13]

If Summer❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️, keeps going an entire line of ❄️’s will not enough. So I’m going to start using Summer❄️x6.  Yes Taz🌪️, yes Summer❄️x6 Carson is going to purger himself once again to cooperate Taz🌪️’s story of self defense. Like if Carson testifies for Taz🌪️ all his charges will be wiped away.  Didn’t I hear Michael say that Carson would be useful but he has to return, to the jurisdiction, and face “possible” arrest warrants 🐂🐂💩💩💩. 

 I have to say that Taz🌪️ is scary looking on FaceTime as she is in person.  At least we don’t get all her animations.  Taz🌪️ asks Daniel to keep his sister from going too far 😂. That ship has passed months ago and like the Titanic it should, but won’t, hit an iceberg.  

So Faith will be escorted to the airport and the gate by a plain clothes policeman and not a detail of Victor’s security guards.  Let’s see how that turns out 🤔.  Why would Faith fly commercial when she could fly with more security on the Newman jet?  Trans Global Airlines for all the airlines they could name for a short flight to Ann Arbor. 

What the fuck Cruella?  Now Cruella is disparaging Banana Breath so she can replace him with Natey Nate Nate?  Natey Nate Nate is more power hungry than Diane ever could be but Natey Nate Nate is sainted while Diane is bastardized.  Cruella how about your focus on the company. I guess you are focusing on the company because your afternoon delights are justified as business meetings.  Business is discussed via swapping bodily fluids. 

Summer❄️x6, you just told Michael that you were going to commit a crime without hiring him first as your lawyer. Now what you told him is not attorney client confidentiality. Summer❄️x6 are you too stupid to hire Michael, in the first place to defend your mother?  Once again I say this is too logical for the monkeys with a keyboard.

But this is a discussion that really is pointless in a way. These current writers retconned Diane's story. She was dead for 12 years until the retcon. Since the writers decided to bring the character back, there was only one way to do that - she faked her death.

The difference of course is that Phyllis chose to fake her death to set someone up for her murder which I don't think Diane did.

And frankly Phyllis has done many, many other terrible things from the moment she arrived in town. She's a wonderful friend? Hilarious. She's not even a good mother!

Has Diane done some shady stuff? Sure but pretty much any character who has hung around long enough in GC has done some not so great stuff. Victor is the worst as far as I'm concerned but Phyllis isn't too far behind.

if Victor can't even toss Diane Jenkins out of a moving vehicle, then who CAN you toss out? 

I wonder if there were subscribers to fan sites back then who were thrilled to see Diane tossed out on her ear, as it were.

Phyllis chose to fake her death to set someone up for her murder which I don't think Diane did.

Actually, Diane had schemed with Adam to fake her death, but Adam dropped her after he found out that she had made a deal with the DA over a Newman stock fraud that she, Adam and Jack had run, so he dropped her, which left Diane frantic to find some source of money to finance her disappearance from Genoa City.

And frankly Phyllis has done many, many other terrible things from the moment she arrived in town.

So did Diane, in fact, from what I can glean from Googling Diane Jenkins Y&R, it seems like more people in Genoa City wanted Diane to leave town than wanted Phyllis to.

What? There are people from GC posting online about Diane?!?

The writers are choosing to have characters who have good reason to despise Phyllis suddenly forget those things. The writers had Sharon, Christine and others act as though Phyllis's 'death' was some horrible thing which makes zero sense. Most of the characters in GC are not Phyllis fans for good reason but the writers like to pretend that isn't true.

Again, not saying the character Diane hasn't done shady things but come on let's be real here. The writers pick and chose which characters are demonized by the good citizens of GC and which characters will be viewed as 'good' by the citizens of GC.

When you google a Y&R character's name, you'll find lots of sites with bios for that character.
