Joimiaroxeu September 18, 2023 Share September 18, 2023 First order of business: Victor had to put his own portrait back up in the NE CEO office. What is wrong with the Newmans? Their level of vanity is ridiculous. Heh, when Adam first saw Sally there should've been a thought bubble over his head which read, "Danger, Will Robinson!" Adam was trying to sell his "I've reformed" spiel to Sally too. Ehhh. Meanwhile, Sally told him she was picking up some room service. Isn't the point of room service not to have to go get it? Nate walked in just as Victor was making a silent toast to the painting of himself. And I was right there with Nate and his lowkey WTF? reaction. So Victoria wanted to build a case with Nikki that TGVN might be declining mentally. She had selfish reasons for doing it but I'm wondering if she might accidentally be onto something. Sally could be onto something too. Be funny if Adam is plotting to sow the seeds of discord among NE staff, starting from the lowest levels and working his way up until he has enough employee backing to lead a mutiny for control. Not sure how he'd keep one of them from ratting him out to Victor however. Wow, Nate was walking a fine line between being supportive of girlfriend Victoria and currying favor with big boss Victor. Gotta have all bases covered, right Sidepart? I see you, Adam, getting Sally tipsy and then offering to escort her up to her room. You are well aware her door is only a few steps from her bed. 😏 Hmm, Nate seems to have chosen to play on Team Victor. Or at least that's the message Victor may have received. The old coot probably can't handle his booze the way he used to and his read on the situation was alcohol-impaired. Looks like Vikki was successful in creating doubt in her mommy's mind about her aged daddy's fitness to return to the CEO chair. 😈 Oh boy, is Sally already sprung again? Adam's kisses are her Kryptonite, tee hee. Let's go, you two crazy kids! 5 1 1 1 4 Link to comment
MsMalin September 18, 2023 Share September 18, 2023 (edited) The least Victor could have done would be to put the 2 portraits side by side! I swore that I did not want Adam back with Sally but boy, that kiss did me in. That kiss had more oomph than Sally and Nick in bed any day of the week! These flashbacks from a day ago are getting ridiculous! Edited September 18, 2023 by MsMalin 9 5 3 Link to comment
Waldo13 September 18, 2023 Share September 18, 2023 Oh happy day!! Groucho🥸🥸 has been put in her place, in the storage room, and Victor is put in his rightful place over looking the CEO office. A little disingenuous are we Groucho🥸🥸? The changes Victor is doing might be erratic in your eyes but in Victor’s eyes it’s major necessary improvements. It looks like Groucho🥸🥸 is laying plans to invoke the 25th amendment 😉. There you have it with Groucho🥸🥸 blaming Adam once again. 🎼When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite thing (blame Adam), and then I don’t feel so bad. Hey Groucho🥸🥸, you’re worried about your father’s heath but what about your mother’s health? If you or her CEO position, at NM, puts too much stress on her, she can have a MS episode. Nice try Nikki, defending your daughter by trying to get Victor to back off for a little while under the guise of travel for two. Until recently you really haven’t been doing anything really taxing but you need to have your batteries recharged? Victor is waning away from retirement so going back to the office is Victor’s means of reinvigorating himself. That portrait of him being back in the place of honor has giving him a bigger tingle in his pants than hugging Nikki. I have to commend Smugly Smug Smug on licking Victors ass. Oh happy day x 2 with Sally and Adam reconnecting. Yes I know I’m repeating myself but Sally and Adam are still 🔥🔥🔥. Sally didn’t seem to resist Adam’s kiss all that much and let it linger. I sure hope there will be another Ava on the way soon. 8 1 3 Link to comment
Gam2 September 18, 2023 Share September 18, 2023 I ask again exactly what are Nikki’s qualifications to do ANY job at NE? This makes me laugh like crazy. She was a stripper and also plays the piano. 6 1 6 1 Link to comment
boes September 18, 2023 Share September 18, 2023 (edited) That plate of salad in front of Victoria was so shiny it looked shellacked. Yum!! A varnish salad, but next time, hold the semi-gloss. I get it, Victor. Every now and then I look at a picture of myself from the Upside Down and wonder where the hell my hair went. I suppose Victoria's portrait is now the new dart board in the employee lounge? Wow. A scene with Sally and Adam where she's not levitating and calling him the anti-Christ. Somewhere out there on Nick's world wide tour of Kirsten Incorporated apparently endless outlets, Nick felt a dingleberry drop when THE KISS happened. "Ummm, lunch", he grunted. Victor stumbling towards Nikki, muttering "My Baby" looked a bit too much like an early episode of the Walking Dead. Sterling episode, simply sterling.

Gam2 September 19, 2023 Share September 19, 2023 Yes, that “My baby, My baby” from Victor when he went into the house and saw Nikki just about made me sick. He really, really needs to retire! 5 1 1 3 Link to comment

NinjaPenguins September 19, 2023 Share September 19, 2023 Victor Newman watches silently as his daughter’s portrait is removed from the wall of the CEO’s office. A worker carefully pulls the sheet off another grand portrait, looking up in surprise when a younger Victor Newman is revealed. Victor merely nods and chuckles to himself. If only the mover knew! Knew that the mustache in the painting was actually crafted from Lucifer’s pubes. When Victor Newman says he’s got the devil by the short and curlies, people better recognize, yo. @@@@@@@@@ Nate: Let me know if my dick can do anything to calm your nerves. Victoria: I’m not nervous. I’m anxious. Nerves can be humped away, but anxiety is inflamed by carnal relations. It’s a whole science thing. Don’t ask me how it works. Nate: So what are you going to do now, if not me? Victoria: I’m going to attack my father’s advanced age and undermine him with innuendo about his failing faculties. Out of concern. Nate: Concern? Or revenge? @@@@@@@@@@@ Adam recalls a conversation with his father. It sucked. Sally: What’s the joke, artichoke? @@@@@@@@@@ Victor admires his portrait with a glass of fancy liquor in hand. He delivers an uppercut to no one in particular as the rush of being the alpha dog surges through his veins. Maybe he’d go on over to Jabot and kick Jack Abbot’s jabutt for old time’s sake. He could invite Nikki and make it a tag team event against Jack and Diane. Yes, he was still at the top of his game. @@@@@@@@@ Victoria: Revenge is not a factor. I’m worried about my father. He’s been acting erratically, making dumbass decisions and forgetting shit. Nate: I haven’t noticed any of that. Victoria: You don’t know him like I do. The other day, he forgot what happened on the Ides of March. He’s been telling us for years that he could have prevented Caesar’s death if his stupid rooster had woken him up. The cock that didn’t crow is the one you have to watch out for, he told me and Nick. Nate: Thinking about Victor in a toga has guaranteed my cock won’t crow today. Nikki: Is this serf going to dine with us? Can he not just scrap with the other riff raff for the crumbs we generously allow to stray from our bounty? Nate: As delightful as that sounds, I’ll just grab a shit sandwich at work. Have a nice lunch. @@@@@@@@ Adam: There’s no joke. I’m just remembering a bullshit conversation with my dad. It’s great to have so many to choose from. Sally: You know what they say, for a good time, argue with Victor Newman. Adam: For an even better time, slap him in the grill with a partially defrosted salmon. Sally: I know what your father did broke your heart. The plan to start at the bottom and work your way up is admirable. What if you fail? Adam: Fail at rock bottom? Thanks for the vote of confidence. Sally: You have to admit, you do not deal with disappointment well. Adam: I can deal with it. I’ll just have to confront my failures like a grown up. Sally touches his forehead and cheek with the back of her hand. Sally: You don’t seem to have a fever, but there’s some intense heat. Your complexion is flawless. I may need to check the pulse in your groin. Adam: Nick still out of town, I take it? Sally: Yeah, he’s got to visit all the Kirsten offices and smooth things over, what with all the Cameron upheaval and Newman cutting them loose. He asked me to leave Lunchables outside his garage three times a day. Adam: I bet it’s stressful at Kirsten. My dad has never realized that his wheeling and dealing affects actual human beings. Sally: Loud, disapproving sigh. There’s that ugly cynicism again. Soooo old Adam. Adam: You’re right. Recognizing the humanity of workers is terrible. Thanks for calling me out. Rolls eyes. @@@@@@@@@ Nate stands in the doorway of the Newman Enterprises’ most powerful office. Victor is staring at his portrait with an enigmatic gaze. The young executive watches as the shadow cast by his boss’ figure walks toward the picture and melts into it. His side part tingles. The moment passes. Nate: I hope I’m not interrupting anything occult. Victor: Of course not. I was considering freeing the monster and beating it lightly to let it know who its master is, k? How could I not, standing before this symbol of raw virility and unbridled power? Nate: I actually hope you’re talking about masturbation, sir. Victor: Come here. I wish to show you something. Nate: I’d rather not. Victor: It is a phrase of the day calendar, k? Today’s expression is ‘smooth the waters.’ Tell me, have you seen Victoria? Nate: Yes. She was having lunch with Nikki. Victor: And how is she taking her demotion? Nate: Well, it’s a shock to her. She’ll need time to process it. I, of course, feel that if your name is on the building, then it’s your prerogative to do whatever the hell you want. Victor: You polish the apple like no other, young man. And I see you have indulged in the pleasures of a word of the day calendar. Now, do you think Victoria understands that my taking the reins is not a criticism of her work? Nate: Um, I uh - Victor: Good, good. I shall require her expertise in what the hell has been going on these past few months. These figures look like hieroglyphics! Did I tell you about my time carving the Rosetta stone? Nefertiti spanked my ankh every damn day, k? Nate: Well, I’m sure you have a lot to accomplish on your first day, so - Victor: Pour yourself a drink, Nate. We must consult my calendar. @@@@@@@@@@@ Sally: How much have you had to drink? Adam: Not enough, Officer. Sally: I’m only asking because I know how morose you get. Morose and uninhibited. Have you had anything to eat? Adam: Humble pie. Sally: Alcohol and an empty stomach do not mix. And I’m starving. Adam: Are you suggesting we dine together? Sally: I’m suggesting we do something mutually satisfying on a surface draped in fabric. Adam: I won’t read anything into this. We’re just two friends celebrating our new direction in life. Sally: Sigh. @@@@@@@@@@ Nikki: Our matching salads are so cute. Victoria: Your suit and top look atrocious together. Nikki: Perhaps you should do more than sniff your lettuce. That waiter sustained a cut when he accidentally collided with your elbow. Victoria: Goddamn it, Mom. Can’t you see Dad has lost his fucking mind? Nikki: Victoria! Language! Victoria: I’m sorry, but I’m just so concerned about Dad’s clearly deteriorating mental state. Nikki: Because he decided to take your job? It’s his playground, if he wants to pee down the slide, that’s his decision. Victoria: Oh, so now I have to worry about both of you. Nikki: Darling, I know you’re terribly hurt, but I think you’re reaching here. Age simply doesn’t affect your father. Victoria: Something has him doing crazy shit. First he wants to acquire Sharon’s and Nick’s and Adam’s company, then he changes all the rules on them. He fires Adam. He offers Sally a fantastic job and pulls the rug out from under her. He just changes things on a whim! Nikki: That’s your father’s hobby, dear. And really, you’re viewing your father’s decisions in the wrong context. He’s not becoming a doddering fool at all. He’s just an asshole who loves to fuck with people. Victoria: Excuse you? Language! Nikki: Rules are for thee and not for me. Eat your salad. @@@@@@@@@@ Victor: I believe these humble calendars carry in them universal wisdom. Therefore, I ask that you help smooth the waters between Victoria and me. Nate: Being smooth is what I do. I want to makes this transition as peaceful as possible for Vic and the company. I believe Newman Enterprises will come out of this more unified than ever. Victor: You magnificent glad handing son of a bitch! I could have used you while helping negotiate the Louisiana Purchase. I think I got a raw deal, k? Now, be honest with me. Is Victoria plotting my downfall? Nate: Nah. She’s salty as hell, but who wouldn’t be, getting demoted like that? She’ll come around for the good of the business. Victor: My daughter is a stubborn one. Always has been. She once made Nicholas muck out our stalls by hand after she caught him using Sharpies to draw nipples on her Barbie dolls. Nate: That sounds like her. And him, for that matter. Victor: She did not even accept a promotion until she felt she deserved it. She did not want to appear to get by on her name. Nate: Sure. That worked out well. Victor: She started in the mail room, k? Her job was to stamp FIRED on the forehead of any employee who sorted mail at less than five pieces per second. Nate: Is that right? Victor: I am bored with you now and wish to practice my boxing. You will go forth and smooth the waters until they are as sleek as a mirror. Iron them with your velvety double talk, k? I am counting on you. Nate: Gratified to hear it, sir. @@@@@@@@@@ Adam: A bottle of your finest champagne, Jeeves. Sally: Champagne? Is his name really Jeeves? Adam: Today it is. And it’s a platonic bottle of bubbly. We’re celebrating our new lease on life. I have my reinvention all plotted out. Sally: Fuckin’ a, dummy. First your cynical concern for working people and now you’re using naughty words. Why say plotted? You could use words like planned or mapped instead of plotted. Just old Adam shit rearing its ugly head. Adam: You’re super uptight. I’m not scheming. Why do you automatically assume I have some ulterior motive? Sally: I know you. And, yeah, I might need my cork popped. Adam: Hey, enough about me. Let’s talk about your new interior design venture. I know you’re going to succeed because you’re awesome. Sally: That’s kind of you to say. I’m on a designing bender. I’m so inspired and rejuvenated with all the peace and quiet this week. I never imagined I could find something I loved as much as fashion, but here we are. Adam: Excellent. I love seeing you happy and smiling and laughing. You’ve come a long way. Sally: We both have come a long way. I appreciate how long it takes you to get there. You’re very considerate that way. It’s really great that we’ve come at the same time. Adam: I feel reborn. And drunk as fuck on champagne. @@@@@@@@@ Victoria: Let me try a more appealing approach. This is all Adam’s fault. Nikki: Amen to that. No arguments from me. Adam bashing is the crouton on the salad of life. Victoria: Adam’s nonsense with McCall and the merger has driven Daddy to a mental breakdown. The stress from his very existence has fried the old fart’s already withered synapses. Nikki: I know exactly what you’re doing. Victoria: I am worrying about Dad’s health. I don’t want to lose him to something as meaningless as business. Nikki: Never fear, my dear. I will never allow your father to become ill. I have placed his phylactery under an abandoned church, which should give him several more millennia. You’re welcome. Victoria: Will you at least talk to him? Nikki: I will, of course, make sure he’s in adequate shape. And I’ll tell him you’ve solved world hunger and can breezily throw out a perfectly fine salad. @@@@@@@@@ Adam: Balls. We’re out of champagne. Sally: Noooooo. Too bad your dick isn’t a Dom Perignon tap. Adam: Haha. What? Sally: It’s past my bedtime. I’m going upstairs to sleep naked. Adam: Please allow me to do something without any strings attached. May I walk you to your room? Sally: That would be amazing. Adam: I’ve missed being able to hang out and talk like this. I’ve missed my friend. Sally: I have also missed my friend. And that thing you used to do with your tongue that made my eyes roll back in my head. Adam: I’ve missed your sense of humor most of all. I’mma kiss you now like a damn fool. Sally: Sorry. Adam: Sorry. That was my champagne brain. This never happened. Sally: What never happened? You know, if Nick was here, he wouldn’t get it and tell me ‘the kiss, you buttmunch”. Adam: A perfect boner killer to finish the evening. Good night. @@@@@@@@ Victoria storms into her office, still steaming from everyone’s refusal to help her ageist crusade. Someone has drank something recently. Two someones, actually. She carefully lifts fingerprints from the glasses, then swirls the liquid about and takes a delicate sniff. Using an eye dropper, she acquires a sample of alcohol to send to the lab. Then she notices her father glowering down at her from the wall and a white hot flame of rage burns through her. She wished she’d papered the office in Hello Kitty and installed shag carpeting. The old man deserved to suck it. Victoria: That fucker sure moves fast. Nate: I had a conversation with him and - Victoria: The evidence speaks for itself, you devious, side parted traitor. You told him my plans to bring the hammer of justice down on his thick head, didn’t you? Didn’t you! Nate: Why the fuck would I do that? And there’s only one instrument of justice in Genoa City, the silver briefcase my Uncle Neil once carried. Put some respect on his name. Victoria: You’re a known backstabber. And Widdle Natey wuvs to get ahead by impwessing the big boss man. Nate: I actually protected you, but your plan sucks. Right now, you suck. Victoria: Well, it’s a damn shame you won’t take my side, Natey Nate Nate. The sexual harassment around here is about to get real AF. . @@@@@@@@ Victor: Baby baby my baby. Nikki: Baby let’s take a trip baby. Victor: I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck, though I did ride a fine dappled horse in the Middle Ages. Its saddlebags were full of onions I sold to men to put on their belts. Nikki: We’re both taking on serious responsibilities soon. I really need to recharge my snoot batteries. And it will give Victoria time to accept the changes. Victor: Baby. @@@@@@@ 2 7 3 11 Link to comment

Dear Swoosh; I have some vague suspicions about my latest girlfriend and would appreciate you putting my mind at ease. Today I found her chatting with an old fuck buddy. Her dress was on backwards and her hair looked blown back. Mysteriously, she declined a pre-meeting meat massage even though I’m a tall, smooth glass of vanilla chai, if I do say so myself. Then my uncle, who I like to call The Under(wear)taker, asks me to spy on her because her old fuck buddy is plotting vengeance against my family. I can’t put my finger on it, but something is amiss. Signed; Nervous Nuts Dear Nuts; You could probably put your finger on it if your thumb wasn’t firmly ensconced betwixt your buttocks. Do you need the money shot to hit you between the eyes? Your lady just got plowed like a field of fennel and it was not your equipment doing the work. I strongly recommend you do no spying for your uncle, as your inability to put two and two together doesn’t reflect well on your strategic thinking skills. I sense a young man whose mother stitches his address inside his underpants but then gets lost after some flatulence breaks the seal. You refer to yourself as a tall glass of vanilla chai. Well, a twosome involves a couple having sex, a threesome is a menage a trois, so what does being handsome mean? Gosh, I like how I can cut loose in this gig. Dear Swoosh; I’m an innovator, an entrepreneur and kind of a dick, but with like a soupçon of charm. My latest project involves developing a philosophy sure to take the world by storm. It’s called Fuck You Zen. It’s just zen, but edgy. The rollout has been a bit rough, as I torpedoed my new marriage by having a titty fit over my wife choosing to mend fences with her family. My ego just would not. I strutted home, full of manpain, resentment, blue balls and immeasurable rage. The blue balls koan was solved quickly, but my shit attitude isn’t winning any converts. I left a deranged message on the wife’s voicemail, which I realized was a little past edgy. I just want people to understand that I’m rolling out a new product, and there will be bumps in the road. I’m not a nasty, controlling cheat, but a patron saint of pricks. Also, I’mma steal Jack Abbot’s lunch money. Signed; It’s Me, Tucker McCall Dear Tucker; How’s the bottom of that bus look, buddy? You’ll get to know every drop of oil, fleck of rust and the sweet, sweet taste of exhaust as it backs up over you. Repeatedly. Is your name Victor Newman? No? Then you’re about to be kicked in the dick by a kangaroo wearing steel toed boots. G’day, mate! I was once at the top of my game, a CEO who could have almost any woman he wanted. I was throwing chairs out windows and stepping over my prone opponent after his original demon heart gave out. Now I’m a naive, romantic dope who would marry a shrimp fork if it gleamed at me just right. I’ve had a dead hooker left in my bed, lost a couple of paternity sweepstakes and was kidnapped and brutalized, only to have my brother mock my suffering and fuck my wife. Did I get to fold that swizzle stick accordion style and play the Thong Song on him. No, sir, I did not. This is the grim(acing) future ahead of any businessman not named Victor Newman. Smilin’ Jack Abbot would normally feed you his lunch money like you were a vending machine and he wanted that Butterfinger, but sad, sweet sap Jack will put his money on a small velvet pillow like it’s hotel mints and hand it to you with a graceful flourish. He’ll probably thank you for taking it and be content that he took the high road. Have fun swatting at the persistent little Buttbiscuit nipping at your ankles! I'd like to report a murder.💀NP, you've done it again. 1 10 Link to comment

MsMalin September 19, 2023 Share September 19, 2023 (edited) Here is the statement released by Billy Millers mother. Knowing it was suicide makes.it so much more trgic. I would like to share the following thoughts," Patricia began her statement Monday. "I want to personally thank the many fans & personal friends for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers & condolences sent to me and my family on the devastating death of my beautiful son BJ — Billy Miller. He fought a long hard valiant battle with bipolar depression for years. He did everything he could to control the disease. He loved his family, his friends and his fans but in the end the disease won the fight and he surrendered his life. The other causes of death being told are not true. I wish they were but they just aren’t. We all loved him so much and are desperately trying to deal with our loss. I will have nothing further to say. Thanks for the love and support."

Joimiaroxeu September 19, 2023 Share September 19, 2023 (edited) Has Sharon always had those boobs? She was sure letting the girls run wild and free in her halter top today, and they were perkier than I would've expected on a woman her age. I feel like I should enjoy a Tucker vs. Phyllis scene way more than I do. 😒 There goes Sharon's little green monster, making her worry about a woman Chance's age showing an interest in him. And was Sharon subtly trying to sic Mariah on Snowflake? Dear Summer: Kyle hypothetically leaving the country with his son Harrison would not be similar to Heather taking Lucy back to Portugal. Please review my previous comments to you on the matter. Free Tara! Oh puhleeze, Billy. Drive Tucker out of town? FOH. You don't get decide who can live in GC. Plus, there's this newfangled technology called the internet. Tucker could use it to attack Jabot from anywhere in the world, you moron. Guess Tucker didn't learn his lesson the last time he tried to enlist Phyllis as a henchman. Sigh. Tucker, my guy, that way lies nothing but more trouble which you do not need. "Devon deserves to know the truth." Shut. Up. Billy. Devon doesn't need your help finding excuses to turn against his father. He manages to be fairly judgmental of Tucker all on his own. I thought dirty martinis were supposed to be cloudy? The one Summer was nursing at Society looked relatively cloudless to me. Whatever, maybe a couple of jumbo cocktails will give her the liquid courage to slide into Chance's DMs. 🤡 Pshht, if Phyllis should avoid anyone it'd be you, Billy. Good luck turning Tucker into a GC outcast. He's been there, done that, and has the souvenir t-shirt filed in between his ones from Coachella and Lollapalooza. The Red Menace must've put her broom on supersonic tonight, shooting back and forth between the GCAC, Sharon's cottage, and then back to the GCAC. Sounds like Tucker is setting Phyllis up to commit a computer-based felony for a mere $2M. Hmm. Isn't she sorta on parole, besides possibly being charged with insurance fraud?

Js Nana September 19, 2023 Share September 19, 2023 I am just so sick and tired of hearing the same crap coming out of the same characters mouths year after year after year, it's really kind of depressing - revamp the show, phase in characters with storylines that resonate with the viewership, like plain old working folk who are worried about making their mortgage payments and keeping their kids in school. 5 2 Link to comment
Waldo13 September 20, 2023 Share September 20, 2023 If memory serves, Adam saved your life from the penthouse fire but your perspective never changed about him. Adam has saved quite a few lives but his still the devil incarnate. What has Adam done to Mariah to warrant her disdain towards him? Does Mariah even know how much Adam has had Domino Botoxia’s back during her dark episodes? Insurance fraud, was that another crime that Taz🌪️ was exonerated for? I don’t think so since insurance fraud is a federal crime even if the money is paid back. As usual, Taz🌪️ is her own worse enemy by attempting fate once again unless she is setting up Tucker. Nah, she’s just a chaos junky. Call me a dirty old man but I just had to play back the bedroom scene with Mariah and Tessa in slow motion. I don’t think that their kiss is just good acting but there is a genuine affection that they have for each other. 3 1 1 2 Link to comment

Yeah, sorry, but no. That's every day life for me. I watch soaps to get away from RL. Give me the millionaires and billionaires. But make their story interesting. And throw in a few murders here and there to keep me hooked. Preferably set at night with lighting and thunder. I like being spooked, lol. 8 1 1 3 6 Link to comment

I don't see where Daniel and Dummer would have a problem with that. I get it if the insurance company wants to press criminal charges for fraud, but I don't see how the beneficiary payout would affect Phylth monetarily.

The sole beneficiary was Stark so Daniel and Summer❄️x6 are not on the hook for the payback. Beside Taz🌪️can be brought up on federal charges, so can the GC’s ME office because they signed a death certificate without positively unequivocally determine that it was Taz🌪️‘s body. Because Stark and Taz🌪️ were married and both participated in insurance fraud, Taz🌪️ is on the hook for the payback. As I said before, paying back the ill gotten gains, federal charges can still be brought. 5 1 3 Link to comment

Js Nana September 20, 2023 Share September 20, 2023 Something occurred to me while watching today's show - could it be that Victor is privately buying controlling interests in as many of Newman Enterprises' assets as he can so that whichever of his children inherits the corporation, they will have to start at first base, just like he did. 2 4 Link to comment

Joimiaroxeu September 20, 2023 Share September 20, 2023 (edited) Victor stays being an agent of chaos. There's no reason for him to be playing his master of the universe games with Lily and Devon's company. I'm with Phyllis on one point: Diane needs to stop gloating in people's faces. One day the karma bus might swing around and run over her again, to the cheers of those Diane keeps taunting with her successes. Custody agreement? Why should Summer be entitled to any kind of custody of Harrison? I could see there being a visitation agreement but other than that, nope. Not unless Tara has given up her parental rights to Harrison, her biological child. I really don't understand why the show is pretending like Tara doesn't exist or can never return. OMG, Billy, it's not for you to decide whether Tucker deserves to have Devon and Dominic in his life. You're a textbook case of a fool grasping at straws. But of course after Jack told Billy to drop it, Billy went right ahead and contacted Devon. Jack, your baby bro is an insolent brat, same as he ever was. How much did I love watching Kyle lie right to Summer's conniving face about him and Audra? THIS MUCH!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 I also loved Diane's blowout. Looked good with her whole slim silhouette. Whaaaaat!!!??!?? Tucker wants Phyllis to hack into Billy's finances? Didn't see that coming. Uh oh, Billy. Devon wasn't as gullible to your slanted and mostly baseless gossip about Tucker as you expected him to be. AFAIC Kyle doesn't need Summer's forgiveness for taking up with Audra. They were separated and likely headed toward a divorce so IMO he was within his rights to date whoever he wanted. I'd only fault him for being so indiscreet, knowing Summer could be publicly humiliated. Jeebus cripes, did Victor need to be so patronizing with Lily? And I'm still not as confident as he is that Neil would've wanted him to grab a stake in C/W to keep Lily and Devon in line. Seems to me Lily and Devon could sue to find out who their mystery investor is. Why Jill is okay with Victor treating them like he's running their lives? Ya burnt, Billy! I hope Jack marches right over and busts up Billy's little tête-à-tête with Devon, and then fires his co-CEO on the spot. Edited September 20, 2023 by Joimiaroxeu 2 7 1 4 Link to comment
lgprimes September 20, 2023 Share September 20, 2023 Ten minutes or less into today’s show and I’m screening at the TV. Harrison’s mother want to prison for some white-collar crime. She should have been back months ago! Are we really going to pretend Summer is his “mom”and has any right to custody at all?? Come on back whatever-your-name-was and get your kid back from these idiots. 5 8 2 Link to comment
Js Nana September 20, 2023 Share September 20, 2023 If I have to listen to any more dialogue about how Summer is Harrison's mother and she and Kyle have to work out a custody agreement, I'm going to throw something at the TV - Summer is not Harrison's mother, Tara Locke is, so she has no legal right to any form of custody of him, the best she could hope for would be visitation rights under the legal concept of in loco parentis since she has been his stepmother for the past two years and has an established bond with him. Summer would have had to formally adopt Harrison, with his mother's consent, to have any legal claim to custody of him. 12 1 2 3 Link to comment

Wouldn't the payout go to Stark's family or Phylth's kids, since she and Stark were married? Stark in all likelihood was the sole beneficiary of the Taz🌪️’s insurance policy. The money would be transferred to his account, in a US bank, and then transfer to his offshore account with half of Taz🌪️’s money. Was there ever a mention of Stark having a family? Even if he had a family and had a will, it wouldn’t be probated faster than an insurance payout. One last kicker to this being a false narrative is that there was an ongoing murder investigation and a competent insurance company, via its own investigator, wouldn’t pay until the insurance investigator was sure there was no criminal activity or the beneficiary didn’t commit the murder. The insurance investigator is independent and would not rely on the GCPD. 9 1 Link to comment

Julyolo September 20, 2023 Share September 20, 2023 I think the posters finding Victor's condescending and cavalier treatment of Lily off-putting are correct. More of JG leaving women in the power of a man's decision. Just own it, and change the shows opening song to "This Is A Man's World." Correct me if wrong, but I also seem to think transfers like his could under some sort of regulations that mandate transparency. Had CW done the IPO, it would have. As to Phyllis and Tucker colluding to hack BA's financials, IMO they have such small, and petty goals. People are hacking casinos and banks for ransom, and these two underachieving idiots just want to find out how much wampum Billy got? They could hack something for billions, and walk around GC with money to burn, after using their ill gotten gains to buy out, each and everyone of these inept empires that seem to rankle them so. As for Phyllis' hair today? Giving side-part Nate a run for his money? It looked like a mushroom cloud of her real hair plopped on top of some extensions that were well past being used. Like they had been found stuffed in the back of her dressing room closet, or the bottom of a tote that she'd spilled some to go coffee from Crimson Lights in. Unless someone can let me know where to find unprocessed ORANGE baby Yak hair, I'll have to go with that. 14 3 Link to comment
Waldo13 September 21, 2023 Share September 21, 2023 What the fuck is Taz🌪️ problem with Diane just saying good morning to her? Taz🌪️ is mostly always in confrontational mode to whoever she come in contact with. Did anyone else notice that Taz🌪️ is blaming Kyle for the breakup. Didn’t Taz🌪️ get the memo that it was her making Summer❄️x6 “telling falsehoods” that broke them up. Yes Kyle should have kept it in his pants but, as Diane mentioned, it was “comfort” sex with Audra. For a time we got hypocrites calling out other people for being hypocritical. Now we have out of control people calling out other people for being out of control. It was nice to see Kyle and Summer have a pleasant conversation. It made me feel sorry for Summer❄️x6 enough to lower her ❄️ rating but I’m going to hold off because, if she goes after Chance, the rating will just go up once again. For Domino Botoxia it’s Deja Vu all over again with Chelsea going after Rey and Summer❄️x6 going after Chance. 7 3 Link to comment

For a moment I thought that Phyllis had somehow managed to entangle Lauren in her hair, there was just so MUCH of it. What pikers Tucker and Phyllis are, trying to hack into ButtBiscuit's financial accounts. You'd think they both know that ButtBiscuit keeps everything of value stuffed in his proboscis. Besides cash, I bet a good sneeze would expel Jaboat, several cars, probably Johnny and Katy, along with his white boat shoes, his favorite summer flood pants and the fall suit collection form Undertakers International. Silly rabbits should know better. So, according to Dummer, Lil' Hausenpheffer is the best thing that's ever happened to her? I doubt he'd say the same. She better not ever try to pass herself off as his biological mother. Any DNA test would expose the truth, when he found out that while he was indeed, half bouffant, he was devoid of any duck DNA. He have to call fowl on Dummer's claim to mommyhood. I wish Lily had just gone into Victor's office, kicked him in the balls and threatened to draw glasses and horns on his portrait with her magic marker. Contrary to Victor's idea, Neil would NOT have loved what he did. Edited September 21, 2023 by boes 2 4 9 3 Link to comment
