Ha! NinjaPenguins - Can we add some kind of side room feature to JurASSic Cart that involves a dumpster and a paramour?  Would need to make the game MA, however, even if that precludes Nick from playing it.

This is easily one of the funniest show forums I’ve visited. Perhaps it’s because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.

It says something about Phyllis that I momentarily forgot about this lowlight amongst the other entries on her rap sheet.i believe it says she pulls so much shit that it can be hard to keep track of.

I thought Ashley was either dressed up and coiffed like some Marvel Comics super-villian today, or cosplaying Cruella DeVille. Billy giving advice to Phyllis launched the show into a whole new level of absurdity. What's up with Phyllis' lip line? Why is her lipstick applied an inch over it, on her upper lip? It looks trashy. Loved it that Carson, the ambulance driver went MIA, surely Phyllis has empathy for anybody taking that course, given her own track record! Someone needs to show the guy playing Devon the outtakes of how he looks when he is kissing Abby. He has a less than engaged appearance, more like repulsion, IMO.

Cyaxares sounds like a dragon's name from House of the Dragon.

If Phyllis must continue to be on this show, I want her to reprise that hot as snot love affair she had with Billy.  In fact, throw in Summer and make it a triangle.  That way I can FF through all their scenes.  I am finding it damned hard to watch one moment of MS!

I appreciated the fact that the producers FINALLY gave all the blondes their distinct color enabling me to tell them apart.

BluetoothDuckLips...just go away.  Tucker saw you talking with Christine {like her new hair color} and showed her how "conventionally" Carson could disappear.  Am I a bad person to hope  Carson gets hit by a car and loses his memory of everything that has happened?

Is Ashley  really in love with Tucker, or does she have her own long game?

What have they done to the Chancellor Mansion set? It looked way smaller to me, and like a basic tract house instead of the centerpiece of a a huge estate. No wonder it got handed off to Abby and Devon. Low-rent digs for two people with more money than class.

And they can trot out the Jabot conference room set but we still have no idea where Billy sleeps at night. Or Chance. 😏

Tucker got to make a big emo speech to declare Devon's moving into his grandmother's home the realization of a long, poignant dream. I see you, JG.  Whatever. 🙄

I thought defense attorneys didn't want to know if their client was lying about their alibi because it could put them professional jeopardy? Maybe I skipped class at Law & Order University the night attorney-client privilege vs perjury were discussed.

Boo hoo, Phyllis. Since when are you letting the likes of Tucker hold their foot on your neck? He's fairly thin so you could probably run him over with an electric scooter versus a whole car. Just throwing an idea out there.

Phyllis kept on lying to Heather. But I feel like Heather basically insinuated  she didn't want Phyllis to come fully clean about EMT Carson. I hope she got a huge retainer because IMO this case is sitting on quicksand and might end her career.

Was Tucker supposed to look thrilled and honored Abby and Devon want him and Ashley to have their wedding at the estate? He wasn't quite giving me a happy vibe. 🤔

Smarmy Billy rolling up on Phyllis and Heather to cast some cold snark. Dude, you had an ugly public affair with Phyllis when she was still married to your brother. 'Member dat? You lost the moral high ground years ago. Shut up.

Oh dear, I'm still kind of squicked out to hear Phyllis and Billy discussing Summer.

Lol, EMT Carson is missing. Oops! Slippery little devil.

Anyone who was raised with an alcoholic parent knows the interminable promises to reform followed by the inevitable backsliding, and that's how Phyllis and her repeated claims that this time she really does want to amend her ways and make her children proud of her comes across.  It's like she's drunk on self-destruction and can't appreciate how that affects those around her until it's too late, and then she's very, very sorry and she won't ever do that again, cross her heart and hope to die, but, really, she's not to blame because it was outside forces/influences that got her into the situation she's in now.

Funniest line from today's show: Jack telling Diane that she's worked too hard to be named Chief Talent Officer at Jabot to resign so things with Ashley can be smoothed over - so I guess keeping a smile on your face and repeating "You're the best, baby, you're the best" over-and-over-again while pleasuring the company's geriatric CEO is harder work than anyone imagined.

Phyllis unironically saying "I'm shedding my skin" has me on the floor. 🤣

Hee. MS has been known to ad lib lines sometimes. I want to believe no one actually wrote Phyllis to say that of herself. Especially when they seem to trying to move her into a redemption arc. Trying.

Yeah, she's been wearing her lipstick like that for years, at least since back when she owned the Garnish Pumpernickel, which is when I first noticed it. The flashback scenes don't do her any favors because you can see back in the day she had a normal-looking mouth. I wonder if it relates to whatever she's doing to cause the duck lips?

Projecting Ashley?  Diane has poisoned Jacks mind?  Your mind has been poisoned all along and it took Tucker to add a few drops to complete unequivocally finish the .007% you had poison free.  You’re going to use Diane’s past against her but, as Ashley said, that she and Tucker also have a past.

It should be a slam dunk for Christine to drop the charges because she has an eye witness. How dare Christine to question Taz🌪️’s and Carson’s veracity and their propensity to lie.  Taz🌪️ is lying to Heather’s face right now because Carson didn’t witness 💩. Taz🌪️ has to justifying her mind that it’s only Christine’s hatred of her is keeping Christine from dropping charges.  Taz🌪️ has the perfect tell when you know she is lying. Taz🌪️’s lips are moving and her teeth become bluer. 

So now Tucker is the fall guy. Taz🌪️ has become Taz🌪️🌪️. Taz🌪️🌪️ acting pathetic is worse than having the Hershey Squirts while riding on a roller coaster. 

As I said this before about Michael, if there is a small chance Carson could be lying, Heather cannot put Carson on the stand. Heather can loose her law license.  So Carson ran away instead of coming to Taz🌪️🌪️’s aide leaving her all alone to drag Stark out of the room and dispose of the body. Now that Taz🌪️🌪️ through Tucker under the bus, do you think Tucker is going to let bygones to be bygones?  Yes, that’s actually what Taz🌪️🌪️ thinks but there is not a snowball’s chance, in hell, that will happen.  

Heather are you drinking the monkeys with a keyboard’s kook aid?  There should be a few more charges other than murder to defend.  I guess, to Heather, it’s a non issue.  There is more 🐂💩 with Healther trying to get witness protection for Carson.  Wouldn’t Heather need a good excuse for that to happen and wouldn’t then again, Tucker would have to be thrown under the bus.  

Well well well, it didn’t take Tucker that long to react to a conversation between Heather and Taz🌪️🌪️he overheard throwing him under the bus. Yes, Tucker has superhuman hearing because he also heard another conversation between Summer❄️x7, Daniel, and Michael from across the room.  So Carson is “Gone With The Wind”. Taz🌪️🌪️ wants to know what’s she going to do now.  When she confronts Tucker, about Carson, Tucker’s answer should be, Frankly Taz🌪️🌪️(my dear) I don’t give a damn!

"John 'Jack' Abbott, Jr." DoB: 6/29/1954 - 69 years old as of 6/29/2023

Enlargement of the prostate, Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH), affects about 70% of men by their 65th birthdays, and. it is this condition that is a primary cause of increased frequency in urination in men in that age group.

"More than 60% of men over age 65 have free testosterone levels below the normal values of men aged 30 to 35." "Prevalence, Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypogonadism in Primary Care Practice"  Culley C. Carson III, MD, Boston University School of Medicine: Sexual Medicine

Age at which an individual qualifies for Medicare: 65 years of age.

The actor who plays "Jack Abbott" is 70 years old and may be quite fit and healthy and destined to live another 30-40 years, but nature takes its course, and, as much as we may hate to admit it, we all reach that time of life when there are fewer years ahead of us than behind us.  Somone who is 69 years old has passed through middle age and is faced with the unique challenges of oncoming old age, but I'm guessing that's not going to be a storyline we'll see on Y&R any time soon.

I appreciate the sentiment, Gam2, but neither of my parents were alcoholics; they had other reasons to apologize for their behavior.  My comment was based on observations of situations like that which affected close relatives and friends.

Menopause causes thinning of the lips, and the average age for onset of menopause in the US is 51, and MS is 57 years old; the obvious lip filler and artificial widening of the lip line may be a consequence of menopause.  Why can't the older characters on Y&R actually show their age.

Her fake smile and dead eyes above it lead me to believe she is getting her revenge for what ever it was he did to her. (Wasn't watching then, so don't know)  Her assurances to Abby that she doesn't want to be hurt again come across as a very fake play for sympathy and support if this "marriage" goes south.  Poor Assley-bleh.

Tucker seems to be a perfect match for this, since he doesn't come across as very sincere, either.  That brief flash of anger he had, when Diane sat down with him and Phylth, lead me to believe that he can be very nasty when things don't go his way.  He was genuinely pissed that they would not fight.

As a couple, these are people I'm not inviting to my next barbecue.  Snotty, pretentious, mean people have no seat at my table.

THIS. Diane goes from a mid-level marketing job reporting to Mariah to the Head of Talent? Those are completely different tracks. Not to say you can't switch paths, but you don't switch like that! It's a wonder that Jabot and Newman Enterprises manage to keep the thousands of people who work for them. With the constant C-suite turnover plus no real chance of being promoted to the C-suite, I'd give my letter of resignation and head elsewhere. 

It looks like we are starting to see Tucker's bad side. (I missed the previous go-rounds with the character.) But TSJ remains a hoot. I really like his ad-libs. For instance, in an episode last week, he came back to the Abbott house and sat on the couch to talk to Ashley. You couldn't really see it, but I could tell he was taking off his shoes. But it was in the flow of the conversation. And it's a totally normal thing for people to do -- come home and take off your shoes. Ashley had her feet pulled up on the couch and I was wondering why she was walking around the house in 4-inch heels. 😂

I liked Sally's silky minidress. Cute style for her.

Chance wasn't looking so great to me in his sloppy shirt and sports jacket though. He should probably just go topless. And bottomless.

There seems to be a war brewing between Adam and Chance. Ehhh. Sharon doesn't need Chance playing White Knight for her against her ex. She can handle Adam.

So was Victor slouching in the GCPD dining room just to do his Don Corleone routine with Phyllis? Now she's got both him and Tucker holding axes over her head. Oh noes!

Leanna Love. Okay. But come on, are these GC people really worthy of a gossip show's "breaking news" broadcast? Bet Tucker put her up to it.

Sally, TGVN giveth and TGVN taketh away. Your current and most recent boyfriends are prime examples. Don't get caught in his web or he'll make your experiences with $Bill Spencer feel like a sunny day at the beach. Not Malibu.

Hmm, I didn't know Leanna and Jack had a thing back in the day.

Adam offering to hire Phyllis as his lead IT person at Adustus. Didn't see that coming. Talk about inviting the fox into the hen house.

Now we're getting flashbacks of scenes which happened five minutes ago. This show's budget must be stretched tighter than Sharon's face. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Sure hope Chance brings the heat in bed (or on couch) because IMO he's a sad dancer. Meanwhile, Sharon sure was a cheap date, shuffling around in her stilettos next to the coffeehouse jukebox after business hours. Chance couldn't even take her home, or to his place? Gah.

I am another one who wasn’t watching when Tucker was apparently a mix of Al Capone and Ted Bundy.  But I am here for this particular Tucker to show his bad side to the under-qualified, over-confidant corporate posers in GC. But still maybe show his lighter/comedic side occasionally. And his hopeful leading man chops to the likes of Nick, Billy, Kyle and Devon. But especially Nick.

I guess I'm alone in being okay with Chance and Sharon.  Having bonded over their connection to Rey, they make more sense to me than Chance and Abby did.  And SC has reliable chemistry with just about anyone she's paired with, the exception being Inanimate Object MacAvoy.

Does Phyllis know about Nick's relationship with Sally?  The *only* possible upside to the Nilly pairing would have been watching Phyllis polymorph into a giant squid upon seeing them together, but I'm not sure she's even aware of it.

Forgive me for being a little thick but I just realized Tucker and Neil last names, in RL, are St. John.  Are they brothers from another mother 🤔🤣🤣🤣. Of course not. Neil was a complete gentleman and Tucker is a roguish trouble maker.  I would put Tucker in the ilk of Kylo REN and Neil in the ilk of Mace Windu, the Jedi Master.  

Is Ashley the only chemist at Jabot?  When was the last cosmetic Ashley made for Jabot?  Has anyone seen Ashley toiling away in the lab making new creations?  Ashley’s patents are probable quite behind the time in the cosmetic industry. To keep up with the cosmetic industry, new products are constantly being developed.  They are making a big deal out of Ashley’s patents but I’m quite sure the industry has come a long way since Ashley was lead chemist. 

Excuse me Ashley but John Abbott is not your father. He’s your Dad. Technically Brent Davis is your father.  It’s like Harrison’s mother is Tara. Summer❄️x7 is technically Harrison’s step-mother. If Summer❄️x7 and Kyle are divorced, Summer❄️x7 is no longer Harrison’s step-mother. 

I hope that Sally takes Victor offer. That would put anything that Chelsea does to shame. Is Summer❄️x7 was a wee bit smarter, she would have offered Sally the creative director’s job. 

Adam offering Taz🌪️ an IT job. It’s like I said before, Taz🌪️ might be a hacker but she’s no software designer. 

When was the last time you can get a selection on a jukebox play for a quarter?  It’s probable the last time you could get a pack of cigarettes out of a vending machine for $1.50.

I don't mind the Chance/Sharon pairing.  Sharon has been shat upon so many times that the actress deserves some opportunity for some hot action.  Added to the supposition that Josh Morrow went to the headwriter to beg for a storyline with the hot younger woman, why can't any of the actresses request the same?

To me the most logical and/or traditional match ups would have been Summer, Sally, or Audra.  If they went with Summer, I was thinking they'd make a triangle with Chance/Summer/Phyllis, and that would be horrible.  Down the road, Sally or Audra might be okay.

Good point.  In the last few years there have been a lot of changes to make products ecologically safe and remove carcinogens.  Somehow, I don't think Assley has been keeping up with it since she mostly hangs out the bar or rails on about Diane and plays house with Tucker.  And I think she's pitching a new show:  Demented Housewives of GC.

I don't know much about patent laws, but wouldn't the legal team at Jabot been on top of this in view of last time Assley huffed off with her patents?  At the very least, wouldn't there be a sh!tload of monetary compensation if she takes them?  Would the profits (royalties?) to Jabot from her patents cease if she leaves?  What the hell happened to her Paris company?  I have so many questions.....

I'm on board for Chance and Sharon too. She is older, but in terms of values, character, kindness-levels, etc. they are are a good match. Chance doesn't seem interested in being a parent, so doesn't matter that she's not likely to have another kid. I say "not likely" as this is a soap and anything is possible, but odds are...And if it keeps them from putting Chance with Summer? All aboard.

And this for sure! If Nick can keep being paired with aged down partners - I am sure Josh M. has insisted in being portrayed as one of the still hot young studs (blech) - then Sharon can too.  So if Sharon Case can finally get a story out of this that doesn't involve her offering coffee and advice to residents as they pass through the cafe?
