were you trying to multi-task while watching the show?

well of course I was! It’s the only way to get through this dreck every day loll! But I absolutely heard something about her being in love with him for 25 years. I could t make that up in my wildest dreams!

Faith started college in 2022. (University of Michigan.) That would make her about to start her junior year. She born on September 30, which means she may have had to wait a year to start first grade. That would tie in with her being a slightly older junior in college.

 

Which makes this whole 'friendship' thing with Lucy an even bigger joke.  When Lucy arrived in GC she was paired up with Johnny and Connor who were middle-schoolers.  Next year her dad was plotzing about her boyfriend/crush and the first dance/prom she was going to.  No way Faith would have agreed to spend time with her ( at the time she agreed, she didn't really mean it) and she certainly wouldn't have agreed to the concert date.  Seems like babysitting.  I'm gonna be pissed if Faith gets blamed for Lucy's Drinkki problem.

and because my eyes wander through all of this lately, did the picture of Sharon and, I assume Ray, have a different man in the photo than the one who actually played the part?  He looked a little fuller in the face and heavier than I remember Ray.

And where did Lucy get the booze?  Did she steal it from her family or did she find Nikki's stash that was conveniently left somewhere thinking she had it for "just in case"?

25 years was mentioned earlier in conversation

Aw, shucks, I missed the part where Jack is reading from Diane's card and she's written "I first fell in love with you nearly 25 years ago," - I must have been multi-tasking during that part.

[Chatty Cake]

Most concert venues even in small towns do not allow regular purses these days. They allow these small things, you have to open them for security and you aren’t allowed to bring a bottle of water in.  That said, Lucy didn’t look all that drunk. Faith is being mean to her. She should just tell her she isn’t interested in a friendship with her. 

[Js Nana]

This is what I've decided: The Young and the Restless is a series that presents residents of a mental health facility playing fictional multi-billionaires in a fictional city as part of their therapy, and all characters under the age of 30 are interactive computer-generated images.

[Peppermint]

If Show brings back Noah...and why should they since he hasn't been given a decent storyline since his "birth" in 1997...it would be only fitting if the new Noah would be Crew Morrow. After his schtick as Will is over & Will goes back to graduate school for 4 more years, Crew could step in as his real father's son. Noah IRL is @ 27 and Crew is 23, workable.

That's #14 on my list of "Things I Would Write Into The Scripts If I could".

#1 is having Victor locked in his own dungeon while his family looks half-heartedly for the lost key. And Ms Martinez sends over a casserole of Brussels sprouts.

What difference does it make how drunk she was? She’s 14 and was drinking. She knows what happened to Cassie. And yet she still chose to drink because she wanted to impress a 21yr old with whom she had no business hanging out in the first place.  Sure Faith should discourage any friendship but Daniel and Heather also need to keep a closer eye on their daughter and pay more attention to her behavior. My. Parents would NEVER have allowed me to be friends with an adult when I was 14. Daniel and Heather feel bad that their kid has no friends, so they overlook the age difference. Heather allowed Lucy to buy a bracelet for Faith and encouraged her to give it to her. Maybe stop traveling the world and just settle down so the kid has the chance to make friends her own age.

that said, I’m glad Lucy came clean to Daniel.

My point was more about Faith being a bitch to a kid who looks up to her. The kid shouldn’t have snuck a drink but she did. I’m sure lots of 14 year olds drink.  Faith got her out of there but she was so mean about it. She should have just stayed home with her cuckoo bird mom. And yes Daniel and Heather are morons for letting their loser kid go out with someone’s Faiths age. 

[babyhouseman]

Diane was with Jack when Patti Williams(Miss Kitty) shot him. That was in the eighties. and the first actor Terry Lester was Jack. I think it might've been more lust than love way back then.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Look at Sally and Billy being all chummy now. The slow build is building slowly, and I don't hate it.

Hey, Nate's back.

Dang, Lily wasn't shooting eye daggers at Nate, those were eye icicles. Brrr.

Lol, YR was actually trying to pretend like Sabrina Carpenter was the opening act at the show Faith and Lucy went  to. Those song lyrics were hysterical.  🎶"....espresso!"🎶

Sharon, come on, you know you can't just shush Ghoul Cameron away. You gotta click your heels together three times to make him disappear. 😏

Aww yiss, Lily basically told Victor, "Challenge accepted." I think Victor might be about to FAFO when it comes to Lily running CI. <fingers crossed>

Sigh, not the Ava stuff again. IMO this show needs to stop dancing around such a controversial subject. I doubt many people saw that storyline as a "both sides" issue.

Faith. Covering for Lucy's lies will embolden her to keep pulling you into her bratty behavior. Hamlet's musing still stands: sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

I thought Victor had all the nerve asking Nate for help in moving Lily out of the line of Newman fire. After what Victor pulled on Nate at NE, I felt Nate should've told him to keep Lily's name out his mouth.

Sally's flashback. Meh. Recyled Emmy bait.

WHOA! Lily pretty much told Billy, "You ain't gotta go home but you gotta GTFO of CI." Do your boss lady thing, Lily! But I hope she ran that move by Jill first because Billy will likely go crying and lying to mommy.

I would pay good money to see Lily best TVGN! Won’t happen because he isn’t allowed to lose but I’d love to see it happen! As for Jill, I can totally see her siding with Lily here. She already is regretting giving Billy so much power and when she hears pricktor wants the company, she’ll fight alongside Lily. 

[ScoobieDoobs]

OK, so I give Faith credit that she took Lucy outta there once she said she was drinking.  But she also did a very stupid thing by leaving her alone when she went to the rest room. 

First off, she's a minor & very socially awkward & a prime target for unwanted attention from males, which could lead to who knows what kind of awfulness.  But show didn't seem to want to address this issue AT ALL, being so intent on focusing on her drinking booze.  Heather alluded to this issue somewhat, by warning Lucy not to leave water or soda unattended -- assuming she meant they could be spiked for nefarious purposes.

Yeah, Josh sure is obsessed with alcohol abuse storylines, eh?  Along with mental health issues & dead children -- ugh. 

So I've seen Linden aggressively say in interviews that his character is NOT a ghost, but an image/hallucination in Sharon's mind.  Whatevs, Linden.  It's getting tiresome, seeing him greasy & blood-stained.  Ick & yawn.  Move on from this bit, show.

Well, at least we're getting a much appreciated break & reprieve from Traci's desperate gushing over Dead Martin, and Claire's wide-eyed crapola.

I'm sorta confused . . . I thought Lily & Billy were equals.  Does she have the power to fire him -- or was that a misleading ending for show today?

[Waldo13]

Natey Nate Nate, another day and another day of being a smug ass hole.  

Billy👃, another day and another day of being a putz.  Even though Billy👃 is giving Adam kudos for a change, he’s still a putz. 

 

[lilmarysunshine]

Is nobody else gonna mention that absolute cringey concert scene with the cgi young people dancing? My son walked by and said it looks like something a high school A/V class would put out. He said “Does CBS own this show and can’t do better than this?” I told him Sony does, I think, but they must not prioritize it as much as the Playstation. lol

Absolutely NO excuse for Adam to not acknowledge Ava or Sally’s grief.

[Denize]

Next time, Faith won't be babysitting Lucy and worse things will happen, methinks. Not my idea of summer entertainment.

Billy, it's you. You. You're the problem, it's you. Whip out your black card and buy a clue or twelve.

Hey, it's Abby and Devon.

Summer mentioned Harrison staying with her in her GCAC suite. I thought she was getting a house?

So Lily can't really fire Billy on her own, at least according to him. IMO he had a point though: Lily was pretty much acting off the cuff. Perhaps she shouldn't have taken all the bait thrown at her "today" in GC.

Harrison suddenly got sick. Maybe he took Grandma Dee Dee up on her offer of caviar and his little tummy said nope. Poor kid.

Gah, Summer, get over yourself. Kyle is Harrison's father and the Abbott manse is not your home. AFAIC your interloper presence was no longer required.

Kyle's daddy supporting Summer against him. Again. The woman who is neither Jack's DIL anymore, nor his grandson's legal mommy. Stay being a tool, Jack.

Devon: Billy, why can't you admit you're a problem? Everyone knows it. Even my pal TSwift.
Billy: I got no problem admitting you're a pain in the ass, Devon. And all the Beyhive knows it.
Joi: where are the lies tho?

Okay, who asked for a secksay scene between Abby and Devon, with soft porn background music? Go sit in the corner and think about making better choices in life. 😉

I don't know about Lily hanging out in the park by herself at night. Oy. Plus, it must've been full of mosquitoes.

I'm having a hard time with the notion that Faith was responsible for monitoring Lucy's behavior at the concert. Faith wasn't Lucy's babysitter or her chaperone. IMO if Heather and Daniel expected Faith to act with that kind of authority they should have established that with her beforehand.

Fortunately for everyone concerned, Faith was decent enough to stop Lucy from continuing to drink and to take her out of there. Seems to me, Faith could've just called Lucy's parents and told them to come get their bratty kid because she wasn't trying to repeat old history.

Just think how unbalanced Summer❄️x9 is. She’s the product of being brought up by Phillis🕷️. There is a good chance that Summer❄️x9 and Phillis🕷️’s will have an adverse affect on Harrison’s development. Maybe just maybe Harrison will be “normal” in spite of Summer❄️x9 and Phillis🕷️ just like Claire/Eve overcame Auntie Jordan.  

Billy👃 your mother is basically a newcomer to Chancellor. Let’s call Jill a caretaker to Katherine’s legacy. Also, Billy👃, you’re full of shit. You are not doing everything Jill wanted. Wasn’t Jill against the separation of the company?  

Abby thinks that Lily can control Billy👃. Think again Abby, Billy👃will do whatever he wants to the point that he will go behind Lily’s back if he has to. 

Jack defends Summer❄️x9 but the way she talked down to him and Diane, Summer❄️x9 should have been shown the door instead of being invited to spend the night. Every time Summer❄️x9 calls Harrison her son 🤢🤮.  

 

[Snaporaz]

See, this is where I have to hold my nose and take Kyle's side.  Despite their differences, everything was copacetic between Kyle and Summer when it came to co-parenting Harrison.  Summer is the one who blew that up by deciding to sue for custody.  Jack definitely should not be defending Summer at this point.

Perhaps I expressed myself wrong. I felt it was kind of sad that Faith showed more common sense in handling Lucy than her boneheaded parents. I didn’t think she was literally acting as a babysitter, chaperone or authority figure. Heather and Daniel obviously aren’t completely comfortable with Lucy’s weird fixation on Faith, but they’re so passive about it, even with Daniel’s history. Faith just struck me as having better instincts than those two clowns.

Every time Adam fixes his face to throw his son out there as an excuse for being a clod and a douchebag, I want to punt him directly into the sun. He just keeps racking up the frequent liar miles with Sally. I’m starting to find Adam as objectionable as Billy. Send help.

At one point during Abby and Devon’s sexay times scene, Abby looked like she was going to be sick. JG seems to use a lot of romantic interludes/anniversary/couples fluff to fill time.

Watch out, Diane! You’ve just made Summer’s list of traitors. Enjoy the cornfield.

What bugs the piss outta me is Daniel the Dickhead continuing to call Faith, "Lucy's new best friend" -- and in a jokey way.  Does he believe this or does he think he's making a hilarious joke?  What a dickhead.  He should be extremely concerned about Lucy pursuing this friendship, but no, not him or Heather and her hair.

Those 2 unemployed a-holes were taking advantage of Faith, even more than Lucy, by using her as a free nanny service.  And as a nanny, she really wasn't all that great.  Yeah, she detected the booze on Lucy, and took her home quick.  BUT if she hadn't left her alone, she wouldn't have the chance to drink.  And I still say, forgetting about the booze, leaving her alone could've led to other, way worse consequences.

I can barely tolerate the presence of Devon & his sneers & hostility . . . but now show is subjecting us to near naked, badly simulated sex scenes with him & Abby?  Oh please, NOOOOOOO!

[boes]

It must be time for the annual "Billy Changes and Grows Up" storyline.  Let the gum chewing, the flood pants and the boat shoes begin!

Unless he changes back permanently into a toad - or even more of a toad - I'm not interested.  I wish he and Adam would stop fighting this mutual attraction masquerading as anger and just give into it, do the Genoa City version of a Mind Meld with cheese and disappear into the ether.

How many times can we see the same thing, just with a different sauce to cover up the rancid taste?

I'm totally team Faith with this Lucy storyline.  IMO Faith is being really nice by not telling Sharon her advice was total shit, guilting her into going to that concert with Lucy.  She didn't want to, all her instincts said it wasn't a good idea but she did the "nice" thing and look what it got her.  All the adults messed up, not Faith.

Absolutely. If they both reverted back to toads, they could spend all their time licking each other, tripping balls and jumping into Harrison’s scholar adventurer bucket. In fact, Toad Billy and Toad Adam would expose Harrison to less slime and hostility than his smug, smirking, hateful parents.

Annnnd...he did mention to someone (don't watch that carefully and don't want to go back and check) how bad it went when Cassie did the same exact thing of wanting to hang with the older crowd.  How dense is he that he can't connect these dots? "Oh, it's ok.  Faith is a responsible person, she'll keep Lucy out of trouble."  Guess it's easier to sit around the three eateries in GC and complain about not having a job than actual parenting.  Lucy decidedly showed more maturity when she 'fessed up bout her drinking than Heather and Daniel together have shown ever.

I would like to think that the Adam and Chelsea tripping over their own feet over Connor's OCD and the Kyle and Summer using Harrison like a football storylines were being written as cautionary tales about how not to parent a child, but I know that whoever is writing for the show believes that the only writing that will engage the viewership is shallow writing.

Nostrils with the "hey, Lily! Look at my crotch!" manspreading has given me the ick so badly I may never recover.

Huh, somehow I managed to miss that today, saints be praised. What I did notice was all the upper thigh Lily was flashing at Billy. Seems to me those two have been doing some kind of weird come-hither dance where they'll end up having mercy sex soon. (The mercy being on Lily's part, natch.)

But when the dust clears I'm betting Billy will end up with Sally.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Hey, it's Connor. He seemed taller to me.

So is Connor not going to stop with the OCD stuff until he gets his parents back together? I think he does a great job of keeping Chelsea and Adam unsettled.

Guess Summer woke up and chose violence. Ugh, she's exhausting with her constant harping about her role in Harrison's life.

Why do they still have that Chancellor-Winters sign up in Lily's office? C-W no longer exists.

Billy's got jokes. He told Lily, "I'm not fired! You're fired!" 🙄

Oh come on, what's Billy up to now, trying to sound rational and reasonable? Probably the only way he can be a silent partner at A-C is if he gets his lips sewed shut.

Kyle, accelerating the custody hearing won't be enough. Summer will act more and more obnoxious until she receives a cold splash of reality: Tara. DO IT!

Claire standing there with her doe eyes watching Kyle argue with Summer about Harrison for the 947th time. What is wrong with her?

Jill, come get your son. He wants to use your private health issues as a public cover story. Yeesh, just when it seems like Billy can't sink any lower, he says, "Hold my beer!"

I'm sorry but did Claire comb her hair today with a garden rake?

Uh oh, Adam's starting new ish with Billy when he knows he's got a big Billy-related secret looming. Not smart, Adam.

[Sake614]

It would have been fine if Adam just said ‘Chelsea and Connor had a bad night and went home to get some rest. Probably better if you wait until tomorrow to stop by.’ But Adam being Adam he just had to double down, further fanning Billy’s suspicions. He’s not going to like how this ends…

[boes]

So Connor gets home from the hospital and the first thing Chelsea does the next day is overreact and panic while he's trying to tell them about bad moment?  No wonder the kid has problems with sky-is-falling Chelsea's constant breathless emotions.  She's the one who could use a brownie, maybe a whole pan of them stuffed into her mouth every time she opens it.

I hope Sally gets herself a slingshot and aims it exactly where it will hurt the most when Adam blurts out the truth about his night with Chelsea.  Not a bad idea if she loans that slingshot to Lily so she can use it the next time Billy spreads his legs and does another monologue about how "everyone" is waiting for him to fail.  Nothing like being utterly self-centered and grandiose at the same time.  Billy is such a pain in the ass, flat as it is.

Most people, William, don't think about you at all, unless they've just been frightened by a possessed ventriloquist's dummy or know that those nasal caverns are the twin entrances to the HellMouth.

Speaking of HellMouth, Summer and Kyle seem to be neck and neck in that contest.  Maybe Harrison didn't have food poisoning, maybe he's just sick of the two of them.

Claire had an odd, Aunt Jordan look today, watching those two fight.  Summer might not want to go worm hunting with her and Harrison, or Claire just might decide to settle the custody question on her own.

 

[Waldo13]

Yes yes yes Summer❄️x9 it’s all your fault. You’re not an evil stepmom, you’re just evil.  There were many times that I could tolerate Summer❄️X9 but lately she is becoming so much like her mother, she’s becoming more and more intolerable.  Now Summer❄️x9 is upset that Claire/Eve can cook and she can’t. 

 

The only reason that Billy👃wanted to partner with Lily in the first place that it gave AC credibility.  Billy has very little street cred  as a C-Suite executive.  Billy👃, doesn’t really give a shit about anyone but himself. Even with deciding to be a “silent partner” (yeah right) he’s still has a lot of influence in running AC.  The kicker is that he will still pressure Chelsea to tell him what happened, in Boston, no matter how it affects Chelsea and Connor.  

 

[Snaporaz]

Let me get my white board, Summer.  Harrison was in YOUR care, YOU took him to restaurant that was not one of the three approved eateries in the Genital City Michelin Guide, YOU ordered the food that made him sick, sooooo, yes, it's YOUR fault.  Can you imagine how she would have reacted if Claire had taken him to a restaurant where he got food poisoning?

I loved how Kyle knew exactly what Summer and Phyllis were doing with Harrison at Crimson Lights, and how Summer acted like that wasn't at all what they were doing.

Dear Billy Abbott;

Oh. Em. Gee! Put on sunglasses so you aren’t blinded by my brilliance. You know that phrase “mama bear” or how there’s a book about tiger momming? Well, I’m going to write the ultimate parenting bible “Feral Screech Owl Mom”, and when the family court judge reads it? Caw caw! Harrison will be mine, all mine! Like, the United Nations will make it the official parenting manual for the entire world. Kyle can put that in his pompadour and smoke it. I have so much fantastic advice to give. A lot of people don’t realize that children actually benefit from exposure to stabby grandmas who can singlehandedly dispose of an inconvenient body. It teaches them, like, pragmatism or something. I demand that Abbott Chancellor publish my life changing tome. Don’t cross me, Spaghetti Legs - I will make you the scarecrow in my secret cornfield and build birdhouses in your nostrils.

Summer the Screech Owl

Dear Summer;

Abbott Chancellor would be honored to publish “Feral Screech Owl Mom”. It’s past time we expanded our publishing arm beyond producing the Genoa City Blowhole, and I think a comedic fiction collection would go over a treat. You think I’m scared of you? You’ve never run up on an impenetrable shell of self regard like mine, chippy. Come at me with your whole arsenal - you could detonate a fucking atom bomb next to me and not leave a dent in this ego.

Dear Billy Abbott;

Guess what, loser? Not only do I have a bangable nanny with that kid sister energy you know turns my crank, but I also got me a boner fide dickhead monitor. Claire now has permission to hit me in the shins with a whiffle bat if I start foaming at the mouth or using a Super Soaker to douse Summer with holy water. I’mma let my prick flag fly and Claire can just dart my inner rage monkey with elephant tranqs. Too bad you don’t have someone on retainer to check yourself before you wreck yourself. Sucks to suck, doesn’t it?

Kyle, This Smirk is on Notice

Dear Kyle;

Wow. Here I assumed that you’d be busy turning Glissade, maker of holiday-scented urinal cakes, into a powerhouse. Apparently you have plenty of free time to flex on your uncle, who is singularly unimpressed. Put your nose to the grindstone and start developing that line of fuckboi fragrances and gilded bouffant scaffolding you’ve been dreaming about. You wouldn’t want Glissade to flop, get gobbled up by Jabot and become another opportunity for your mom to fire you again, right? Again. By the way, numbnuts, I have an entire team of dickhead monitors. Every single person who crosses my path tells me I’m destined to fail because of my repellent personality and nonexistent impulse control. I could be sitting in the park at 3 a.m., innocently picking my nose with a snow scoop and a fucking carrier pigeon will swoop in clutching a scroll emblazoned with the words”Catch that fail whale, Captain Ahole”. Fuck all y’all. I’m sending you and Summer’s letters to every judge in Wisconsin. Sucks to suck!

Dear Billy Abbott;

i once again need your professional insights and business savvy, much as I’m loathe to admit it. My partner continues to vex me with his substance free hyperbole about our potential success. I desperately tried to get rid of him, but like a sun-bleached barnacle encrusted in years-old bird shit, he continued to cling to the company’s hull. He finally agreed to be a silent partner, operating behind the scenes, but that victory came at a horrific price. I was the victim of aggressive manspreading. In a bizarre dominance display, not only did this fiend open his dick deli up for business, he kept subtly gesturing to his crotchal area with one hand. Ugh. I can’t think about this anymore.

Lily (Silence is golden. Let it pay)

Dear Lily;

Dominance display? I have no need of cheap parlor tricks to establish my superiority. I’m going to let the ladies who flock to my column in on a little “man secret.” Those of us with lithe, athletic, Olympic swimmer builds like to highlight our physique in skinny pants as a sort of favor to humanity’s gaze. The pants shark can get kind of claustrophobic in the pelvic pool, so you gotta let that baby swim free. Bonus man secret: Fashionable gentlemen often experience a phenomenon known as the Tight Pants Bubbler. We’re sitting in our office, wheeling and dealing, when the fabric-chair boundary is almost breached by flatulence. It’s vitally important to manspread asap to give the expelled air room to dissipate before the pants are compromised. Sometimes we feel a bubbling sensation down below as the brown breeze escapes around the front. The hand thing was just me trying to wave a whiff over to you. Yeah, a mouse didn’t actually die trapped behind the copy machine - that was me.

Dear Billy Abbott;

Look, fuckface, I’ve had about all I can take of your inquisition. People being irritated by your presence should be very familiar to you, so, NO, you didn’t touch a nerve with your badgering. I just hate you, your stupid donkey nostrils and the stench of failure that wafts off you in thick, suffocating waves. Stay away from Chelsea and Connor. They don’t need your toxic selfishness sabotaging Connor’s recovery from an unspeakable illness. And stop filling Sally’s head full of conspiracies and suspicion. You’re banned from talking to her too. WE DID NOTHING WRONG! Call me propranolol because I’m blocking your beta backside.

Adam, Alpha Dog

Dear Adam;

Fuck you! You know what I’m sick of, buddy? Everyone roasting my buttbiscuits over an open fire about disasters and mistakes I haven’t even made yet! I’ve been pretty well-behaved lately, for me. Look, if Chelsea wants me to step off, I’ll do it, but fuck you until the heat death of the universe for using your son as a human shield to prevent the truth from coming out. You really think I don’t know what you two idiots did in Baltimore ? Game recognizes game, bro. Speaking of Sally, I’m glad I was able to offer her genuine comfort over her loss while you were up your own ass about Connor. I can relate to the grief that comes with losing a little girl. Remember that? You know, I’m a gambler, and I’m betting on red in bed. Suck on that, slimeball.

It feels writers are really working overtime to create nonsense drama with Abbott-chancellor-whatever it’s called this week. Lily and Billy were doing just fine and out of NOWHERE she wants him gone because Victor is shaking his shriveled-up manhood around. I’m willing to suspend disbelief for a soap opera, but please let it make some sort of sense.

Am speechless. The entire English language bows down.

Can you imagine how she would have reacted if Claire had taken him to a restaurant where he got food poisoning?

It would've been the end of the world, or at least the one Summer lives in. I wish Claire would innocently bring Harrison a PB&J sandwich because I think Summer's overdue for another peanut butter kiss.

Oh jeez what is this monstrosity of an evening gown Phyllis is wearing to breakfast?  

and NOW! a completely fabricated “adoption” of Harrison in Italy!! Clearly this site is being read and they realized none of us were buying Summer having any legal rights to this kid. It makes me angry that they think they can just drop in a sentence to retrofit an impossible version of the story and we are all expected to just sit back and say “oh okay”

All this. And the thing is, it wasn't just this site that was saying Summer's "my son" stuff was b.s. I know of three other soap forums that have been complaining too. Today's attempt at a retcon does not appear to be going over well anywhere I've seen.

Besides, why would the adoption of an American child by American parents done in another country be sufficient? Unless they did it through an American embassy or something similar, wouldn't they eventually have to file in the US as well?

I'm thinking this sudden adoption hail Mary might not be entirely legal, still leaving room for Tara** to show up and kibosh the whole thing.

**Because note how no one has said Tara ceded her parental rights, or that she's dead.

It certainly isn't.  This story appeared on my yahoo news page...

He got sick due to eating too much shrimp. Hmm, maybe Harrison is developing a sensitivity to shellfish.

Look at Summer trying to see how far she could get her nose up Grandpa Victor's buttcrack. This is my shocked face.

Eh, that spot in Chancellor park is hardly private, Devon.  Kudos to Abby though for her Barbie stripes.

I didn't hate Phyllis' dress. Not a great color for her though. Was that a shade of khaki?

FFS, why is Summer so obsessed with Audra?

Okay, I'll give Devon points for the proposal. He apparently thought it out beforehand. The engagement ring, however? Fugly with a hard F, in my opinion.

Also still wondering why Phyllis thinks Audra is dangerous. Projecting much, Red?

Go Diane! Tell that psycho Phyllis about herself! Oops, she shivved you with the abandoning-your-son-for-years knife.

But then Diane came back with the you-also-faked-your-death-and-murdered-your-criminal-husband ammo. Whee!

Meanwhile, Jack sat there being mostly useless as usual. He was probably glad his catfight boner was hidden under the table. 😼

Well, AFAIC Phyllis was right about one thing: Summer bringing Victor into the custody battle was a move Summer will likely regret.

I can't wait to see Dominic in his toddler tux when he's the ring bearer at his parents' fall wedding.

Re the previews: the Olympics will be finished so Traci & Alan can arrive in GC.  Or was it Martin, lol?

Wow. Show literally rewrote history. An adoption of an American child by an  American parent in a foreign country? What a crock. Give me a break!

When the child has a mother already.
