Phyllis notwithstanding, I enjoyed the scenes in Society for all of Daniel's reactions to his mother's ridiculousness.  I've always liked the dynamic between those two.  The bartender's many side-eyes were an added bonus.

What I don't understand is why Tucker had to go to so much effort and expense to extort Phyllis into doing something she was going to do anyway.

Same for me.  Daniel has always been on to her and these days he seems like he can barely stand to be around her.  When Phyllis flashed her saber-toothed, deaths head grimace masquerading as a smile, I swear Daniel shuddered a little.

He keeps saying he doesn't want her to go to prison, yet I get the feeling he'd get over it pretty quickly.  Not that we'll be so lucky.

Right?  Phyllis mocking strangers who are rightly confused by the return of the supposedly extinct wildebeest was exactly right for the type of lunatic she is but certainly doesn't fit her "I'm reformed and remorseful" act.  

It's all rinse and repeat.  Phyllis is back, just as bad, just as annoying as before.  Tucker and Audra have the same conversation they had yesterday.  Kid Pomp (thanks, surfgirl!) and Dummer have another babbling staredown, Nick pontificates, Sharon bats her puppet eyes while trying to make business noises come out of her mouth, Adam looks constipated - and can he please change into a different suit?? while Victor mumbles threats from his chair at the ranch, the one closest to the bathroom.

Haven't we seen all of this at least three times in the past week, if not more?

If this is the best ChatGPT can do, I think the threat of AI is overrated.

Most important, WHY did we get a Chance sighting and Show kept him fully clothed?????

Doesn't everyone who commits wrong believe they were justified, at least in the heat of the moment? 🤔

That's why you have an arraignment-to plead not guilty.  I've gotten over the ruination of law procedure on this show.  It's not good for my blood pressure.  But, I have to point out that Diane was incarcerated with no bail and then released with an ankle monitor because she was an historical flight risk.  So how is Phylth different?  She should have at least been held until her arraignment.

1. I am now convinced that Tucker is out to get everybody, meaning that he's constantly strategizing and re-strategizing how to play the various personalities against each other to further his aim of taking down both Jabot and Newman Enterprises before any of them can get wise to it.

2. It seems to me that if Summer went running to her grandfather and told him that Audra and Kyle started doing the nasty as soon as she closed the door to the Abbott mansion behind her, then Kyle would find his Abbott ass kicked back to mommy and daddy before he knew what happened and Audra would end up fired and with a business reputation so ruined that she'd have trouble finding a job that had her asking "and do you want fries with that?"

3. Could this happen: Billy and Diane end up together.

4. It occurred to me while watching today's episode that since they are in no way genetically related, Billy (father: John Abbott mother: Jill Foster) and Ashley (father: Brent Davis mother: Dina Mergeron) could marry, and take over Jabot, with no laws being broken - except that they would end up being universally shunned and no one would want to work for them.

[NinjaPenguins]

I’ve been working for a vacationing co-worker whose loud obnoxiousness and self-regard make her a sort of amateur Phyllis. Imagine my disappointment when one of two episodes I was able to catch this week was a Phyllis fest. Admittedly, Tucker’s joyful expression when Diane stopped by to converse with Phyllis almost made up for it.

I wonder if it was awkward for Buttbiscuit to have Ashley bring up Phyllis and then Summer, his two-for-one Jackstabbing special. I… I felt a twinge of compassion for poor Ass Loaf as he once again had to listen to his crazy sister blatherskite on about how meeeeaaaaannnnn Jack and Diane are. Ashley was shocked, shocked I tell you, to learn that Jack dared to leave the state and consult attorneys about her abrupt departure from Jabot. I guess she’s the only one allowed to make moves.

Tucker takes such pleasure in trolling, no matter who he’s with or who he’s trying to needle. Trolling is its own reward for Tucker. Ashley just doesn’t get it, as her failed efforts to provoke Diane reveal. At least she admitted that Diane was living rent free in her head, I guess.

Phyllis flashbacks! What a treat. Lol@ the one where Phyllis is bragging to Christine that she was married to Nick now. It’s like bragging that you ate a turd with a fork and knife. I genuinely enjoyed the replay of Diane jacking Phyllis up with a slap that probably took the blue off her veneers temporarily.

[surfgirl]

Jesus H. Christ on a cracker! The smugness dripping off of the Big Red Coldsore when she was talking to Christine, just, gross. MS is such a horrible actor and her mannerisms are so disgusting. I hate the character and can't stand the actress. Fuck you Show. And fuck you too Josh.

This deserves several responses at once. Heart, Fire and Applause. I cannot tolerate MS as an actress or her embarrassing portrayal of Phyllis. She infects every scene she is in. 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Loved that color of dress on Diane today. And the matching bag. Perfection.

I wish I understood why Tucker is putting all his eggs in Phyllis' basket in order to get rid of Diane and take down Jabot. He should know nobody backs Phyllis into a corner without risking her attacking them.

Wow, Diane sure showed a lot of grace with Phyllis, even if it was mostly a cover for her true feelings. I bet eventually they're going to work together to stop Tucker since he's a problem for them both.

Yikes, Phyllis' hairstyle in that flashback with Christine was so awful! I thought she looked like an over-aged prom queen.

Who would've been calling Christine to give her the 3rd degree about Phyllis' case? Would it be the state governor? Either way, I don't see a reason for that person to care. Phyllis isn't like Al Capone or some other big time criminal.

Christine, you're already professionally compromised due to your bad personal history with the defendant. Stop talking to Phyllis about the case. You're just tipping her off to how you'll present the prosecution at the trial.

Clean up on aisle four! I just coughed up a lung from laughing so hard. OMG, I wish JG would write this. The ratings would shoot right to the stratosphere because the audience would be stuck on trying to parse the insanity. (Seriously though, hasn't B&B sorta already gone there? Some of those Forresters are actually Marones.)

[Waldo13]

Tucker Tucker Tucker how is winning Jack and Kyle going to drive Diane over the edge?  Kyle won’t forgive Summer❄️x7 how is he going to forgive Taz🌪️. Ashley is doing her share of harassing Diane, so this must be a 3 prong attack.  Tucker watches Taz🌪️ and Diane play nice and he’s the one that is going bonkers. 

I’m now fully in favor of Y&R changing its name to the Smug & Self Righteous.  There must be a viral infection that has Tucker, Ashley, Smugly Smug Smug, Cruella, and Taz🌪️ acting like they are god’s gift to GC. 

How long ago was that flashback between Taz🌪️and Christine?  It seemed like it could have been just yesterday and again as it was today. On that note, why are we subjected to flashbacks of Taz🌪️.  That one time was hard enough to stomach 🤢🤮.  

Ashley get your feet off the couch. People make love there 😉. 

The delusional aspect if Taz🌪️ once again rears its ugly head.  Taz🌪️ thinks she’s being prosecuted because Christine hates her not that she broke the law.  Taz🌪️ and Carson were afraid of Stark that they went along with his plan???  If you weren’t the least being complicit, then tell me Taz🌪️ and Carson, why didn’t you go to the GCPD and turn Stark in and ask for protection?  

[boes]

Ah yes, those delightful days of Yesteryear, when a trip to Rexx Ruggs ended in more than just a tasteful throw rug.  Those bygone days when you and your date could actually BECOME a throw rug, right in front of the store, courtesy of Phyllis the Demented in her Hertz Rent-a-Car all in the name of twu lub.  

I can't imagine MS was too happy with those flashbacks.  They weren't especially complimentary, considering Senor Wences hand puppet was better  looking and had more acting talent.

Love the hair, Phyllis and your fashion sense.

I'm a little afraid for Tucker after today's show.  He was pushing everyone just a little too hard, as if he's being set up to be the Big Bad all the wretched of Genoa City will end up fighting against.  I don't want to see him go down in some half-assed storyline to exonerate Phyllis and Ashley.  

Speaking of Ashley, I'm surprised she opened the door to ButtBiscuit, since he came dressed as the Angel of Death.  I'm assuming he chose that particular shade of black because it matched the utter darkness of his giant nostrils.  In any case, he looked like he was ready to set forth on a Jaboat cruise on the River Styx.

As for Christine, I'm all in favor of her using her position to get revenge on Phyllis.  If she gets her sentenced to be tied to a Cheese Wheel and be pelted with curds, let her Will be done.  Somebody, anybody, has got wipe that blue toothed smirk off her face.

I can't watch it either since Sharon kissed Chance, and teamed up with Adam and Nick as a corporate mogul. IMO, first Adam and Chance will bicker about Sharon. Chance will decide to leave GC, or be killed  (Sharon's kiss of death for cops). Then Sally will "leave town," so Adam and Nick can fight over Sharon, who will end up with, who else? Nick. That combined with JG moving towards "making Phyllis right," so she will end up back with Jack, has made this show unpalatable for me. Still, I love coming here to read all your funny and insightful posts!

If I were to take over writing the show here is how my first day would go:

Phyllis is found guilty. On the way to court for her sentencing she is run over by a car. The car then backs over her over and over a good 6 or 7 times because the driver knows that Chance is at Sharon’s getting his groove on. We don’t know who is driving the car.  Phyllis finally gets to the hospital and regains a brief moment of consciousness. Christine is there and tells her she and Danny have married and she is adopting Daniel. She shows Phyllis their family photo and tells her that will be her new Facebook profile picture. A tear falls down Phyllis's face as she takes her last breath. The coroner shows up and tells the staff that she’s very dead and there is no chance she can be revived.

I would only change one thing. Diane collapses due to a heart issue; before Plyllis dies she is told that per Daniel’s wishes, Diane will receive her heart. Or it ends with her on a train and dying due to numerous stab wounds. Inspector Poirot comes to investigate and it turns out the killer(s) are all the recipients of the heinous things Phyllis did to them. Kenneth Branagh can reprise his role as Poirot. *

Gee, I really liked Chelsea's dress today. I'm scared.

Apparently it's Flashback Friday. 🙄

Bees are good luck? Okay, Obi Wan Billy. Do continue to bless us with your apiary wisdom.

Summer, stop acting brand new. You know how adultery works. Dang, I gotta give Audra points for tossing Summer"s attempts at shaming right back at her.

How was Adam the Harvard MBA sitting there listening to Sharon and Nick spout their business buzzwords without laughing in their faces? So much synergy!

Harrison is not your son, Summer. Stop using him to prop up your failed marriage. I would so love it if Audra tracked down Tara and finagled to bring her back to GC to reclaim her child. Give me this, JG! I want it! 🥴

Nick needs to ease up on the spray tan. And hit the gym. Standing next to svelte Sharon, he looked to me to be heading into his second trimester. 😼

Adam, Sharon, and Nick working together. Will the three of them become the NE Cerberus, the NE Hydra, or the NE Three Musketeers?

Now they're calling it Adustus-Kirsten? I can't.

Oy, I don't know what's worse, taking marital advice from crazypants Chelsea or letting psycho Phyllis guide your life decisions. Summer is straight fukt, she's just refusing to accept it.

Adam sure is going hard against Audra. What's that all about?

Re the previews: Kill. Me. Now. I don't see Ashley being particularly excited about her and Tucker getting married at the Chancellor Estate. I don't see Jill being thrilled about it either since it's her house.

I have to say the future of Marchetti looks very bright, very bright indeed.  Dummer must be launching the Marchetti "International Warning Signs" Collection, starting with that delightful Orange and White number that makes her look like an animated traffic cone.  Very versatile!  If she ever ends up losing her job at Marchetti, she can get a job in front of Rexx Rugs, diverting traffic.

I'm hoping Chelsea takes that hint and makes a whole line of traffic sign dresses.  STOP could be a real stunner at 

New York Fashion and Roadwork Week, showcasing the brilliance of those two working together.  I can see Phyllis in it now......

Media companies, software companies, Jabot cosmetics, Fenmore and Marchetti fashion, Newman Inc. trusses and whoopie cushions, Genoa City is chockful of all these innernashional companies.  BUT, and it's a big Butt, why do none of these business whizzes ever take a look at what's right in front of them??  They're in Wisconsin, after all.  I'd be a lot more impressed if Nick, Sharon and Adam broke the mold and decided to dominate the cheese spread and summer sausage market.  They could make a killing.  I can totally see Nick as the String Cheese King and Sharon modeling all sorts of milk and sausage-based products, doing a little Swiss Miss dance in a dirndl, maybe accompanied by Adam on the 

tuba.  Think outside the box, people.

I'd also love it if Ashley and Tucker went in this direction for their wedding theme.

I'd love to see Tara show back up and kick Dummer straight to the curb.  Harrison has been through a lot and the best thing that could happen to the Lil' Hausenpheffer would be ANYTHING or ANYONE would act as a barrier between him and Dummer and his step-grandmonster, Phyllis.

[Julyolo]

I saw what Sharon was wearing today when they went to see Victor, before I switched channels. All I could see was she looked like some punked out version of those dolls with crochet dresses grannies used to make to put over their spare toilet paper rolls. The front of the bottom half of the dress actually looked like a crumpled toilet paper roll to me.

Edited July 22, 2023 by Julyolo

[Snaporaz]

Are we really supposed to believe that Summer could use the word "hubris" in a sentence?  And doesn't Chelsea resent her even a tiny bit for causing her miscarriage?

[Waldo13]

Now there’s a flashback scene I can truly appreciate with Summer❄️x7 slapping Kyle 🔥. I’ve watched it a few times and it actually looks like a real slap. 

If Sharon would say no to Botox and age gracefully she still would be an attractive woman with a body and legs to die for 😜. 

Audra Audra Audra my sweet sweet Audra, poking the bear is a very stupid mistake. Audra is playing games with the spawn of the Tasmanian Devil. If Summer❄️x7 just slapped Audra, she would loose another ❄️. Don’t get me wrong, I still like Audra enough to warn her off Kyle. The thing that’s most peculiar to me is that I feel sorry for Sunner❄️x7 because she was stuck between “The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea”. Like Hope dropping Liam (B&B), it’s time for Summer❄️x7 to kick Kyle to the curb. 

There is now a holly alliance between Sharon, Banana Breath, and Adam. My hope is for Banana Breath and Adam to bury the hatchet deep in Cruella’s back. 

Why is Victor always touting Cruella at the expense of Adam. Victor knows that Cruella is more antagonistic of Adam than Adam is of Cruella. Cruella usually didn’t  get the lecture of getting along with Adam. I’d she does, it’s always ignored.  It’s almost like Victor and Cruella had some inappropriate moments, with her father, and Cruella has video and tapes to hold over his head. Just saying 😉. 

No Taz🌪️ but there is Chelsea in all her undeserved glory. Another day of embracing the suck 🫢. 

First day for Kyle and meeting has already been cancelled. Great first day. 

Summer❄️x7 is very close to earning back another ❄️. Again blaming all this shit on Diane.  It’s like your mother’s obsession had nothing to do with it. If Diane never came back, Taz🌪️ would find something else to obsess about. It’s in her DNA. 

Another fuck you is required to five Victor. If he values family more than anything except when he doesn’t.  Victor seems to be more worried about Smugly Smug Smug and Audra than Adam, Banana Breath, and Sharon.  Audra is golden because of her relationship with Cruella’s via Smugly Smug Smug and Sally, who was more qualified than Audra, was expendable because of her relationship with Adam.  

It’s laughable how two clueless people, Nostrils and Chelsea, who suck at life, can give a PSA on relationships. 

If the monkeys with a keyboard are using ChatGPT to write dialog, I would imagine that somewhere in ChatGPT’s programming an error message would come up that ChatGPT can’t believe he’s writing this 🐂💩.  There is no sign of intelligent live here in GC. “Beam me up Scotty”. 

 

 

[Js Nana]

So, today's show ended with a discussion of how the success of a merged Adustus/Kirsten Int'l would, technically, put it in competition with Newman Media, whereupon Adam floated the idea of the two entities merging, which brought up the position of NM CEO that Audra now holds - - and what is Victor's reaction going to be when he finds out that Audra started bumping body parts with Kyle before Summer had even walked out the door of the Abbott mansion?

Just watched World Cup play in Australia, and it kind of confused me at first when I saw people walking around in winter jackets, until it hit me that, of course, when it's summer in the Northern hemisphere, it's winter in the Southern hemisphere.

I’m okay with the new dream team except that it means Nick won’t take his old job back leaving Side Part to keep parting sides. Victor kept emphasizing that Adam is not allowed to go up against Victoria. Which means he will go up against Victoria. I hope he annihilates her bony ass and that smugly side party part turns on her.

Chelsea giving advice. No thank you. It annoys me that Summer thinks Harrison is her son. He’s nothing to her if they divorce. Sorry Summer. Maybe you know how the beautiful Lola Abbott felt when you went in on a married Kyle and worked with him. How’s that payback taste? Also quit blaming Diane on your marital problems. YOUR DISGUSTING ARM FLAPPING mother is the one responsible for your problems. Idiot. Dummy.

Billy giving advice. Shut up please. How many times has he turned his back on his family and company. He needs to start gambling again. Take Chelsea out on Jaboat and get lost at sea.

Speaking of stupid names … Adam bringing up Restless Style. Have not heard that name in a while. This show has always glommed onto trends in the most inane ways. Remember Wisconsin being a fashion hub with “launch parties” and “pop-ups?” Same thing with Omegasphere and “gaming platforms.” When I told my 18 year old son about Chelsea’s game to help people with their mental health, he thought it was the dumbest thing.

Cyaxeres

You can find Cyaxeres in the bible - Herod. 1:73, 74,103- 106; 4:11, 12; 7:20

[Joimiaroxeu]

Quote

You can find Cyaxeres in the bible - Herod. 1:73, 74,103- 106; 4:11, 12; 7:20

This reference is not to the Bible but instead to an encyclopedia set called Cyclopædia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature, edited by John McClintock and James Strong. McClintock and Strong were 19th century Methodist theologians. The references listed in the above quote are from that encyclopedia, not the Bible, and per Google SEO magic they appear first in a search on the words "Cyaxares" and "bible."

Furthermore, the citations in the McClintock and Strong encyclopedia are from a seminal work collectively called the Histories, written by Greek historian Herodotus around 430 BC.

Per my research on the Bible Gateway, there are no specific references to Cyaxares in any of the 200+ officially published versions of the Bible it has documented.

And in other news, I think one of Y&R's most blatant efforts to jump on a trend was with podcasts. All of sudden Billy, Chelsea, and Elena were hosting them and apparently C/W had a whole division devoted to producing them. Y&R even started producing its own podcast, though I use the term "producing" generously.

The Y&R podcast is nothing more than each episode's audio track, provided with zero context. The people in a given scene don't always refer to each other by name so unless you recognize the voices you might have trouble figuring out what's going on. Also, in some scenes the characters don't talk; for example, when they're getting it on there's nothing but the music. IMO the Y&R podcast is a joke.

Per my research on the Bible Gateway, there are no specific references to Cyaxares in any of the 200+ officially published versions of the Bible it has documented.

And in other news, I think one of Y&R's most blatant efforts to jump on a trend was with podcasts. All of sudden Billy, Chelsea, and Elena were hosting them and apparently C/W had a whole division devoted to producing them. Y&R even started producing its own podcast, though I use the term "producing" generously.

The Y&R podcast is nothing more than each episode's audio track, provided with zero context. The people in a given scene don't always refer to each other by name so unless you recognize the voices you might have trouble figuring out what's going on. Also, in some scenes the characters don't talk; for example, when they're getting it on there's nothing but the music. IMO the Y&R podcast is a joke.

Not going to bother with it. No snarky looks from Tucker to be seen either. Lol

Yep. 

I was thinking of them putting Chelsea, with zero formal training, as Creative Director of a global fashion brand in a Milwaukee suburb. (Hey, LA writers … places are different from L.A.) Same thing with Sally and weren’t they reworking CW interiors? As if it is easy to move from clothes to business interiors? Now I am not denying that some people just have style and can pull clothing and also interior looks together. But these are businesses that you would think would hire vetted professional firms. It is not like me asking my stylish friend to run to Marshall’s with me to re-do my bedroom. 

Why can’t one of them just be an interior designer with a small office next to Rexx Rugs? Nope. Cannot do that. No corporate intrigue.

When my aforementioned son asks me why I watch this crap, I tell him I don’t know. Because I have been watching it for 35 years? Habit?

Same thing with Omegasphere and “gaming platforms.” When I told my 18 year old son about Chelsea’s game to help people with their mental health, he thought it was the dumbest thing. I am sure it will rival Dark Souls or Overwatch.

And exactly how long did Chelsea work there...2 or 3 months and it was a smash hit in South Amurruca. JHC this show is so unrealistc.

Ccording to wikipedia:  Cyaxares collaborated with the Neo-Babylonian Empire to destroy the Neo-Assyrian Empire, and united most of the Iranian peoples of ancient Iran, thereby transforming Media into a regional power.[9][10]

 

There is much more but honestly this is all I care to know about that! 🙈🙉🙊

Besides, we all know that no matter how much Cyaxares turned Media into a regional power, NEWMAN Media will run the world, known and unknown, flat and round.  

Cuz Victor beats everybody.  No history is ancient to him.  He was there.

Yougotthat?

Does that mean they are also going to be producing their own life-changing, mental illness curing, save the princess game?

Seriously! Tucker's non-verbal reactions are usually the highlight of any episode in which he appears. On the stupid audio-only Y&R podcast the listener would have no clue what he was doing. Why even bother?

Hee, it wasn't even that deep. The guy was the king of Media. Y&R wanted to use "Howard Stern" as the name of Ashland Locke's company but he wouldn't let them. So we got Cyaxares instead. Yeah, that's the ticket. 😏

I guess the supposed all-powerfulness of Newman Media must be an inside joke behind the scenes since Y&R is produced by a division of Sony. Sony is indeed one of the biggest media companies in the world and it's not located in some sleepy 'burb in WI.

Honestly, whenever the Newmans start going on about NM I want to scream at the TV, "Um, Disney, Warner Brothers, Paramount, and Universal would like to have a word, you morons." Gah.

Y&R does have a line of video games in development.

Konkey Dong - Nick Newman does double doody as a heroic plumber trying to save a random lady from the knuckle dragging clutches of his gorilla alter ego. This trippy title features a rotating cast of distressed damsels, including Sally, Sharon, Chelsea and Phyllis. Nick’s secret weapon? His plumber’s crack. Butt will it stand up to Konkey’s powered poop projectiles?

Grand Theft Schmatta: Genoa City - Live the hardcore Chelsea Lawson lifestyle in this MA rated crimefest. Run low stakes cons, roofie and assault an alpaca looking trust fund dude and traumatize children with your all-consuming emotional needs, all while running the Midwest’s biggest black market fashion don’ts business. No guns here; you’ll need to level up your manipulation skills to get ahead.

JurASSic Cart: A colorful Mario Kartesque romp of prehistoric proportions, this game puts you in the driver’s seat as a velociraptor named Phyllis. Your car is your weapon as you compete with other drivers to flatten pedestrians, haul velour ensconced corpses to dump sites and detonate ambulances. Mini games allow you to hatch your own poutasaurus, match tube socks with lemons for bonus points and caw caw your way through a straight rip off of Angry Birds.

Dairyvania: You have been chosen to hunt Wisconsin’s most wicked grampire, Victor Newman. Saving the souls of Genoa City won’t be easy, as this evil entity is protected by one million hit point plot armor and his fanatically loyal wraith, Victoria. Frustrations will mount as you’re forced to humor the ancient aristocrat by letting him get the upper hand in boxing matches and endure hour long cut scenes where Victor tells the orphanage story. You’ll never actually win, and the game will mock you for trying.

NinjaPenguins, your (for me) early morning post had me crying with laughter, probably frightening my church-going neighbors into hustling their mortal coils into the safety of the nearest sacred space earlier than usual.

Konkey Dong!?!??!!!?!!!  alone will keep me laughing for the rest of the week.

You are, as de olde folks used to say, Cookin' with GAS this morning.  A phrase we must always keep Nick from ever hearing.

Oh my, this is awesome. I am picturing Phyllis behind the wheel in a GTA-inspired scene, running down Cricket in front of Rexx Rugs.

I wish I had half of your creative juices. (That could be a line stolen from Nate and Victoria foreplay, no?)

Oh, lilmarysunshine, you're no slouch in the humor department.  "Creative juices", lol!
