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. 

[Waldo13]

Once again we have the truth according to Summer❄️x9.  Kyle to a bad father because he’s moving out and taking him out of the only home he knows but isn’t Summer❄️X9 planning to do the same. If she gets custody of Harrison, isn’t she going to move Harrison out of the Abbott mansion?  

What the fuck Is Phillis🕷️ wearing?  Lizard Skin Green?  Phillis🕷️ wear a bra. Being able to see your headlamps poking out as you rant over Kyle is 🤢🤮.  

That’s news, Summer❄️x9 adopted Harrison in Italy.  So this is the work around, by the monkeys with a keyboard, for Harrison to be adopted without the consent of his bio mother, Tara.  Did Tara sign away were legal rights to her son?  Besides, I don’t think Harrison’s adoption is legal in the US.  

Why did Diane and Jack even listen to Phillis🕷️’s unhinged rant?  If I was Diane, I would have thrown that half glass of orange juice in her face.  

Phillis🕷️ wants Kyle to stay away from Audra because she’s “toxic”.  If “toxicity” is a reason for staying away from Harrison, then Phillis 🕷️should be at the top of the list.  Is there anyone less self aware as Phillis🕷️.  Yelling at Diane was like Phillis🕷️ yelling at herself in the mirror. 

 

[NinjaPenguins]

Not to mention that Audra has been absolutely crystal clear about her complete lack of interest in children. Summer and Phyllis sound completely unhinged. Keep them away from Harrison, with cattle prods if necessary.

What a disappointing Friday show.

1.  Could someone please build a gazebo in Chancellor Park? One with tables and chairs/benches?  I am sick of seeing these 'romantic' picnics spread out on the Astro-turf with pillows and ant-drawing foods and the gals awkwardly sitting on the ground in their ridiculous dresses.  Or schlepping bags of romantic goodies so you can cram yourselves onto a park bench and unload it.  Or standing around eating ice cream. It's not a glamping site!  Maybe the current users could take up a collection and build the Abbot-Chancellor Memorial Gazebo.  It's what Catherine would want.  And Neil, too.

...

2.  Ending on a positive note:  I hope Grampire fcuks up Summer's whole plan in his inimitable way. 

1.  I propose that the site of the Abbott-Chancellor Memorial Gazebo be facing the Cordelia Abbott Memorial Gingko Tree.  Although the little stink balls Gingko trees drop may put a damper on any Memorial Gazebo picnics.  

2.  Victor's meddling in Reed's custody hearing worked out so well for Victoria!

[ScoobieDoobs]

Hmmm, so they shoved in that quickie-quickie line btw Vic & Summer, that she adopted the kid in Italy -- when this has NEVER been mentioned before?  Clean up on aisle 2, eh, writers?  Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

And speaking of sloppy messes, I was enjoying the mud-slinging btw GC's 2 sloppiest of sloppy messes, Diane & Phyllis.  All while Jackie was sitting there with the same hang-dog/open-mouth stupid look that Chance always has.  Better to keep your mouth shut when the 2 sloppy messes are tearing each other up, Jackie!

So Kyle caved pretty quick when Vic ordered him to -- but is he really gonna take orders from the evil warlord on his personal life?  Really?  What a boob.

Oh man, wide-eyed Claire is back.  Ugh, those saucer eyes are reminding me of Little Orphan Annie.  Is she pulling that shit on purpose?  Ya think?

Previews show Dead Martin is moving in quick, quick, quick on desperate Traci . . .

Well if Dead Martin really IS Dead Martin and NOT Alive Allan, then I'd bet money that wide-eyed Claire is also Evil Claire just pretending. Honestly, I hope sire IS really Evil Claire and she kidnaps Little Hassenpfeffer. At least that might be interesting.

That's a new one, but entirely apt.

[blackwing]

The only person I loathe more than Summer is Phyllis.  For months Summer has been screeching about "my son" and every time she did so, I would retort to the TV "HE'S NOT YOUR SON".  So now this stupid show has found a way to retcon all of the retorts with a throwaway line that Summer adopted Harrison in Italy?  How?  An adoption would have to be done in a U.S. court of law.  Since Tara Locke is still alive, she would have had to have given up her parental rights.  I don't think Tara would have done that.  But no doubt there will be another line about Christine or Michael Baldwin having secured Tara's agreement, or found some loophole saying that convicted felons don't need to be notified.

Summer as recent supposed adoptive mom is filing for sole custody of a child, against the biological father?  Never mind that she is a complete hypocrite when she complained that Kyle is trying to take Harrison away from his home.

Daniel doesn't agree with her and she gets pissed.

If she wants a child so badly, why doesn't she just have one of her own?  I'm sure there are plenty of golddigging men in Genoa City that would love to have their ticket written with Newman money.

This storyline makes my blood boil.  She took away Harrison's chance to go to Paris just to spite Kyle.  Where are the Abbott lawyers?  What good is the Abbott fortune if it can't even help Kyle keep his own son?

Gah, Summer, get over yourself. Kyle is Harrison's father

Posted before JG dropped in a little something on Friday's show that has never, ever, been mentioned before; Summer saying that she adopted Harrison when he and Kyle came over to join her in Milan.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Last Wednesday, before the Italian adoption reveal (either on the US broadcast or the Canadian/day ahead one), I made a comment which was not in reference to that reveal. Because I don't have precognition. Oops!

[Sake614]

Why does Michael continue to grovel for Victor’s forgiveness? Is there no one else in GC he can work for? Maybe he and Adam can team up and start their own business. Everyone else in town has done it 😝

[Joimiaroxeu]

Getting store-bought muffins for Harrison? Oy, Summer, you're not scoring points with Mrs. Martinez.

Good grief, now Chelsea has to develop OCD to deal with Connor's OCD? I thought the story about Connor's special cereal spoon was awful because Chelsea made it mostly about herself.

Billy was provoking Chelsea to be mad at Adam. Hmm. And basically telling her he knows she's lying to him about something but he's decided to be okay with it. Man, Billy's skills at mindfcukery were running in turbo mode.

Seems Victor is operating on the mistaken assumption that Billy's going to be front and center at Abbott-Chancellor. Gee, Vic, how you gonna be a master of the universe if you can't keep up with the hot corporate goss?

Liar, liar, pants on fire, Summer. You absolutely wanted Grandpa Victor to bring the hammer down on Kyle to make him back off on Harrison's custody. That's why you were grinning like a fool before you saw Kyle stomp into Crimson Lights.

FFS, Victor, why should Adam care who runs Chancellor? I think you got triggered by the C-W name change to A-C, and you expect Adam to be upset too. Ehh, Adam has real problems to deal with.

AGAIN! What is Summer's freaking obsession with Audra? It's like this whole alternate reality is streaming inside Summer's head. She's Harrison's mommy! Audra is Satan! Up is down! Dark is light! Aaargh!!!!

Hey, Michael, the next time Victor commits several major felonies, don't do anything. Just let his highness get arrested. Then watch how fast Victor will want your help. Until then, calm down.

I sure wish I knew what Summer thinks Audra is going to do to Harrison. Audra probably couldn't be bothered to pick Harrison out of a lineup of six-year-olds.

Edited August 12 by Joimiaroxeu

[Sake614]

I can’t wait for dummer to find out grampire is the reason Kyle and Audra are working together.but even if he wasn’t, she has no right to demand Kyle cut ties with his business partner.

ETA: has Audra ever once mentioned even wanting to be around kids in general, let alone Harrison in particular?

Edited August 13 by Sake614

[Waldo13]

Adam lives in Billy👃’s nose. I would say that Adam lives in Billy👃’s brain but he doesn’t have one.  Well maybe Billy👃 has 2 brains. One is lost and the other one is out looking for it.  

I’m probably bias towards Summer❄️x9 over Kyle because when I hear her, I hear Phillis🕷️. Summer❄️x9 just has to be combative.  Summer❄️x9 will be complacent but only on her terms. Kyle has to cut Audra out of his life but she doesn’t have to cut anyone out of her life. Summer❄️x9, please tell me how much interactions Audra has with Harrison?  Your mom is much worse than Audra and definitely has more interactions with Harrison.  

Summer❄️x9, will now go whining back to Victor and will pout and stomp her feet because Kyle won’t cooperate with her demands.  Again Summer❄️x9 is just like her mother when it comes to never taking the blame for anything. It’s everyone fault but theirs.

I think Phyllis is the one influencing Summer's obsession with Audra. Though it was a bit odd when she said Audra had no problem sleeping with Kyle when he was still married to Summer. Can you say hypocrite? Phyllis has never had a problem trying to seduce a married man(Danny) or carrying on a tawdry affair with a married man(Nick). It must be hard for Phyllis to see Summer have to deal with women like Tara and Audra, when she herself was once the "Tara" and the "Audra" in Christine and Sharon's lives, respectively. I guess it's true what they say- game recognizes game.

"The world needs to be put on notice.  Abbott Chancellor means business".

Grandiose much, oh Bully the Abbott, Master of his Domain.  His manspreading is bad enough but now he's going to mentally moon the world??  Billy Buddy, oh Buttbiscuit of my heart, the world doesn't even know what the hell Abbott Chancellor does or even that it exists.  That rattling sound you hear is Billy's ego rolling around in the numbskull that passes for his noggin.

Oh no!!  Chelsea had a spoon crisis!  But, Connor came through it just fine, cheerios and all.  I was worried there for a moment that Chelz was going to come down with another case of the heaves but lucky for her, that was reserved for yet another of the worlds best mothers, Summer.

The only person Audra might care less for than Harrison is Kyle.  The last thing she wants is to be in the same building as Lil' Hausenpheffer, much less in his life.  She's got enough on her hands trying to deal with the bouffanted toddler Victor saddled her with, she doesn't want or need another.

I know that Adam and Chelsea deeply regret their 3 minute egg incident, but I don't think anyone regrets it more than those of us who have to hear about it every day.

I ff'd the scenes of Michael with Victor.  I can't watch him humiliate himself for a job he doesn't need from the sentient cowpie of a person one more time.

It's going to take a lot of Glissade plug-ins to check the stench of these storylines and characters.  Right now, each and every one of them is just one more overcooked brussels sprout.

[NinjaPenguins]

Dear Billy Abbott;

Yeah, so my dad wants me to put out a hit piece on you. I didn’t want to, because I don’t want Chelsea to beat my ass with Connor’s special spoon or jump off a building, but the fossilized fart writes the checks. Why not give up the deets and make this easier on both of us? Thanks in advance.

Adam the Assassin

Dear Adam;

I can’t think of a single humiliation or catastrophic failure that isn’t out there for public consumption. Who doesn’t know about the time I passed out drunk in the snow and almost froze my beans and carrot right off? I’m certainly not hiding anything worse than shagging my brother’s wife after your dehydrated donkey dick of a father had him replaced with a drug trafficker. I rubbed it in Jack’s face so hard you’d think it was tainted face cream. Of course, my embezzlement and subsequent purchases of a booty barge and race horse were well documented by the media. Let’s see… only a lucky few have seen the tattoo of Strawberry Shortcake riding a pinata emblazoned on my left buttock after a night of snorting Flintstones vitamins on Bourbon Street. I got kicked out of a casino after painting some Ritz crackers to look like poker chips. I shot the fuckstick who ran over my daughter. My lowest point, the absolute nadir of my existence, the sub basement to rock bottom was the night I spent with Summer. Bonus embarrassment: my nephew got fired by his mom. LOL!

Dear Billy Abbott;

I think I may have made a very big mistake. A few months back, I helped this rich bastard dodge the full weight of the law after he kidnapped and tortured an old psycho in his spare wine cellar. My reward was dismissal delivered in a word salad of threats, megalomania and mumbled curses. Literal curses in a language not meant for mortal ears. Today I spotted the gnarled tit tree playing on his phone in the club and felt compelled to demean myself before his lordship. I found myself begging for the slightest morsel of approval, willing to do anything to be back in his good graces. Now he tells me that he has a task for someone with my special skills and talents, but I’m not to rescue him from his worst impulses ever again. What have I done?

Michael Baldwin, Lackey at Law

Dear Michael;

Yawn. He’s probably going to point you at me, but as I’ve already told Adam, all my shady shit is on display for window shopping. Look at what years of one sided loyalty has earned you - you get cast aside like a used condom the second you hesitate to kiss the ring. You even made him look like a hero instead of the deranged criminal he actually is. Well worth it, right? I can see why you were so eager to re-up for another tour of duty in hell. Now, I didn’t familiarize myself with vampires and demons as much as I should have while married to Victoria, but I suppose he drew you to his table using some kind of glamor. It’s even possible he had one of his ectoplasmic entourage temporarily possess you. Anyway, come at me, bro. Let’s get this over with so I can spin out again.

Dear Billy Abbott;

Check out my new speech to text app, skit for brains. Yeah, I’m going to be rich. I bet Rabbit Canceler wants to buy it, but yawl dumb fucked up frying my son! CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW Harrison CAW CAW CAW my dotter CAW CAW SCREECH! Ominous chanting in Latin. Deep, unnatural growling in background. Audra Charles! Boob socks! Fax machine noises and static. CAW CAW CAW! Pretty witty titty pelican butt. Wolf howl. Suck my crumpets, ass whole!

Phyllis, Rocket Surgeon & Brain Genius

Dear Phyllis;

I have a sudden urge to deep clean the peen. Good luck with all… that.

[Sake614]

So Claire was deprived of a romantic relationship but was allowed to get a big ass tattoo on her back? Yeah okay. And now Nikki wants to work with her again. Sure, great idea. Because every young woman wants to be her grandmother’s secretary 🙄

After listening to Chelsea blow smoke up his ass (or more accurately his 👃Billy of course has changed his mind (again) about stepping back from AC. Now it’s man the torpedoes and full steam ahead to complete disaster.

at least we were spared Kyle, Summer and Victor, so that’s something.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Huh, I didn't realize baseball cards were still a thing. Nice of the show to prop the Brewers versus, say, the White Sox, the Twins, or the Cubs.

Harrison calls Phyllis by her first name. Of course. He can't have a grandma Dee Dee and a grandma Pee Pee, tee hee.

Claire shows up to brownnose CEO Victoria again, and then Nikki pops in to invite them both to lunch. Haven't we seen this scene before, but with Cole instead of Nikki? (Yep, July 30.)

Lily, you don't need Billy's b.s.! If you no longer have Jill's support over him, it's time to exit. You're going to get whiplash trying to keep up with Billy's bizarre flip-flop behavior.

Phyllis either can't read social cues or she deliberately ignored the ones Lily was sending to tell her to go bother someone else. Mox nix.

I could not believe the way Victoria and Nikki were fretting over the possibility of Claire being romantically involved with Kyle. Not long ago Vikki was pretty much encouraging Claire to go to Paris with Kyle so he could pop Claire's cherry.

Not sure if Claire was working Jack or if she's sincerely concerned about Kyle's battle with Summer over Harrison's custody.

Phyllis comparing herself to Lily by saying "women like us." Please. Someone better call Kendrick Lamar to shut that nonsense down. Leave it to Red to be a Drake and overestimate her status.

What the what? Phyllis was presuming to give Lily both professional and personal advice. Yeah, that'll fly...on Neptune. It was definitely not what Dru would've wanted.

There it is. Billy wanted to add Abbott to the Chancellor company name to show up Jack and Jabot. This effing guy. He's lucky Jack isn't the kind of person to lose his  composure and chew William's @$$ out right there in Society.

Phillis🕷️ is such a disingenuous bitch.  Phillis🕷️reminds me of the serpent in the Garden of Eden in trying to enlighten Harrison on how fantastic of a mom Summer❄️x9 can be.  Phillis🕷️ please do us a favor and slink back into your hole.  

Phillis🕷️ is so unaware that her and Summer❄️x9 are currently bringing Harrison all the trauma in his life. Phillis🕷️, of course, thinks Summer❄️x9 is being the reasonable one. 

Billy👃 Billy👃Bill👃, everyday and in every way, you are a fucked up egomaniac.  Are we sure Jill is his mother?  Billy👃 seems like another spawn of Phillis🕷️.  

Why is everyone giving Summer❄️x9 a pass on the Harrison debacle when it’s primarily Summer❄️x9’s unreasonable demands that are the cause of the friction.

Idiots, particularly cute ones, can be momentarily charming when they're young.  Most of our fondly remembered romantic disasters from our younger years are based on characters with that particular deficiency.  But folks like that becoming increasingly less charming and more repulsive the older they get, with the bad behavior just becoming repetitive and predictable and a little bit more sordid with the passage of time.  Right now, Billy Abbott has all the freshness and charm of a barnacle on the bottom of Joboat, that unidentifable thing you accidentally walk in and is now stuck in the treads of your shoe.  

Billy Abbott is becoming Victor Newman, with the same lack of charm and appallingly self-centered appreciation.  

He's the guy who comes up with the name of his company before he has any idea what the company is going to produce, the guy who names his future kids before he has a wife, plans his house before he's got a dime in the bank.

Whatever illness Jill has must have gone to her brain for her to hand things over to Son # 2.

Besides, if he wanted to honor Jill's legacy, then shouldn't the name be 

Fenmore-Foster-Reynolds-Chancellor-Brooks-Thurston-Abbott-Sterling-Abbott-Atkinson/Chancellor?

Put that in your blowholes and smoke it, Billy.

I hope Lily folds him and his stick legs up like a Jenga puzzle and mails him to Mongolia.  And stuffs Phyllis in the box so has something to munch on while in the mail.

Can I just say how much I enjoy episodes where people have no time for Phyllis? Jack’s disdain was delightful and Lily could not have cared less. I almost choked on my beverage when Phyllis tried to paint Daniel and Heather as some grand, inevitable love story. They are like if the experience of filling out paperwork at the doctor’s office somehow became a couple.

Billy really embraced his inner buttbiscuit today. Woof. Slapping Abbott onto the Chancellor logo had him ready to unzip, whip and drip right there in the office. Billy could do far less damage if Jill had given him matches to play with instead of her corporate power. Lily might as well shout her common sense and logic into his left nostril for all the respect he gives her. He better not fuck it all up and hand Victor and Nikki a win on a silver platter. Their arrogant assumption that Chancellor somehow belongs with them pisses me off.

Could we talk more about what a naive virgin Claire is? I’m not sure I got enough of that cloying narrative today. She and Kyle have a chemistry similar to that between Heather and Daniel - inert.

Me too.  Especially Nikki.  She was Katherine's "best" friend the same way Kevin, Amber and every other stray that wandered into Kay's orbit was.  If she was around today and saw how high, and how often Nikki stuck her nose in the air she'd be giving her a well deserved swat with a newspaper.

While I freely admit that I am deep into a post-Olympic depression, I cannot be bothered even one micron of half an iota of 1/100000 of a fuck to comment on this dreck of a show.

I can't keep up with what's going on with the sloppy mess this show is now.

So Lily was playing Billy.  And now Billy is playing Lily.  Oh, and Nikki is handing out job offers, for a company she doesn't work at yet & her evil warlord hubby has not taken over yet.  OK, did I get that right? 

Oh yeah, and Phyllis is charmingly trying to coach the kid on what to say in custody court.  What's next, Phyllis?  Gonna whisper to him who support in the upcoming election?

And last we saw Vic screaming at Kyle to "FIX IT!!", referring to the custody fight.  So will Kyle the boob tell Vic that bratty/pouty Summer gave him an ultimatum to cut off ties with Audra, who Vic has forced him to work with?  Idiot Kyle should scream back at him to "FIX IT!!" with Ms. Pouty-Pouty McPouterson.

I kinda liked the reaction of Jackie, with a just-smelled-shit look on his mug, to Billy's smug pronouncement of adding the Abbott name to Chancellor, & the legacy crap he's been yapping about for months.  Yep, it was confirmation that none of the Abbotts could care less, and the legacy crap is just an ego trip for Billy.  And something for him to do, while he's thinking up merch ideas & planning parties.  I thought yesterday he was admitting to having a "spotty" business record.  Hmmm, guess he forgot about that quick.

Hey, Lily, with Phyllis whispering her bullshit in your ear, ya better drink up that big ole glass of red wine.  You'll need it, hun!

"Maybe we should just take this upstairs"

Whoooooo! Traci Abbott-you old horndog!

[Sake614]

So now Summer is guilting Claire into telling her what’s going on between Kyle and Audra? That certainly won’t endear her to Kyle. 

One minute Victor is questioning why Nikki would want Claire around, the next he’s welcoming her into the family with open arms and telling her they all believe in her. Pick a lane, will you?

billy and Jack arguing about the Abbott name and how it isn’t Jill’s name. Nice to see someone call Billy on that. Just own up to the fact that you want YOUR name on the company and it has nothing to do with your mother. Then they switch to discussing Kyle and Billy decides Kyle needs to fail BIG. Does he plan to take on that task as well?

[Joimiaroxeu]

Nikki has to study up as she prepares to run Chancellor. Huh. I thought the GC elites could step into CEO positions at the drop of a hat. 🙄

Hey, it's Chance. 😻

Alan acting like he hadn't been in the Abbott manse before. When Traci called him on it he covered quickly but nah, I see you Martin. Maybe.

Claire, if you want examples of good, healthy couples to aspire to, you might want to put Grandma & Grandpa the bottom of the list. Just sayin', their romance could be a Grimm fairy tale before most of them got Disney-matized.

Wait, what? Victor thinks Nikki working with Claire again would threaten Nikki's sobriety. Hmm, seems to me Claire is more likely a threat to Victor and Victoria's control of NE.

Billy said Kyle should be allowed to fail because that'll be the reality check Kyle needs. Yeesh, Billy, do you ever listen to the stuff coming out of your mouth? The Fates are writing their reality checks on you, you maniac.

Sigh, Chance, you've drunk the Italian adoption koolaid too? Suddenly you're no longer hot IMO. Free Tara!

Traci & Alan would be so cute to me if I didn't suspect he's the murderous twin.

Don't do it, Claire. Don't get pulled into cousin Summer's custody web. It's probably just a matter of time before she asks Victor to make you back her against Kyle.

Why does Billy👃keep insisting, other than a super ego, that it’s not Jill’s name but his name. As I said before, Jill hasn’t been an Abbott in years. Jill probably is using Abbott, as her last name, as a status symbol.  Jack finally concurred that Abbott is not Jill’s last name. 

Summer❄️x9 does like to give Chance half truths. Cutting Audra out of his life is not a compromise, it’s a demand. What would Summer❄️X9 do if Kyle insisted on keeping Phillis🕷️out of Harrison’s life?  Yes, it’s mixing apples and oranges but when was the last time Audra saw Harrison if ever.  Chance is the voice of reason but will Summer❄️x9 listen to him?  Of course not. Now Summer❄️x9 is questioning Claire/Eve about Kyle and Audra and it’s all about her and not about Harrison. 

Billy👃giving Jack advice about Kyle is like giving a hangman advice on how to stretch your neck.  Billy👃finally found his place in business. Where have I heard this before?  

So Claire/Eve is changing her last name to Newman but why not change her first name to Eve?  Eve is the name Victoria gave to her. Claire is the name Auntie Jordan gave to her.

Summer straight-up lied to Chance, telling him that Harrison had a stomach bug instead of botulism from the expired shrimp Summer ordered in a month that doesn't have an "R" in it.  She's a piece of work, instantly accusing anyone of siding with Kyle if they point out the obvious pitfalls in her plan.  I've  always found Summer pretty awful, but she's never been *this* unlikeable.  The only thing that could save this story now really would be to bring back Tara.  How can she still be on prison for a fairly minor white-collar crime that didn't harm anyone outside of her privately held boutique shoe company?  She should have gotten six months.of house arrest max.

Did Kyle tell Claire about Victor owning Jizzodd?

Oh, I caught Dead Martin's reaction to the Abbott house -- like he'd never been there before.  Also, he was weirdly animated, and he actually has a personality (which Alan never did) -- even if it's a cloying & obviously phony one.  OK, poor Traci hasn't had a date since the '90's, so can we blame her for her desperation? 

Anyhoo, I'm wondering if, when Eileen finally comes back from her sabbatical, Ashley will recognize the obvious diffs btw Dead Martin and his effusive persona (to the point of ickiness to anyone BUT Traci) & Alan, who was always a clinical dead fish.

So WTF is up with this obsession with Audra by Summer -- and by Mommie Dearest too?  OK, sure, Audra's moral compass is pretty lowball compared to most people.  But compared to ALL the inhabitants of GC, she fits right in!  So who are these 2 a-holes to judge her?

Man, I so wanna see Claire finally bust outta her tiresome wide-eyed teen act and tell Summer to fuck the fuck off.

• Would the Billy plot have gone this way if Billy Miller were still playing the part?  I can't see Billy M. being such an asshole  

Very strange...as I was watching today's dreck I realized how far Billy Abbott has strayed from the loveable fuck-up that Billy Miller portrayed. Billy Abbott has turned dark, mean, and treacherous. Not someone that will be likable again. 

Can Billy take Summer out on Jaboat just once more....and this time dump her overboard ?? 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Well, Billy Miller was adorable.  Vic squashing him would be like tearing the wings off a butterfly.  Sure, Vic would do it gleefully, but it'd be unpleasant as hell to watch.  Better to see this Billy get his . . .

No, he didn't.  Neither did Victor mention it when Summer begged him to belch his displeasure at Kyle about not rolling over for her custody lawsuit.

I think poor little Summer is going to be pretty shocked when she finds out that her Gwampaw Gollum is the sole reason Kyle is working with Audra to begin with, and that he'd rather keep using Kyle as part of his revenge plot against Jack than grant Summer her custody wish.

She'd do better to ask him for a car.

I call b.s. on Cleve changing her last name to Newman, dissing her dad in favor of those Newman Beverly Hillbilly wannabes.  What a suck up.  If she wanted to take Victor's true last name then she should find out what his last name was when he was called Jabba the Hut. 

Nikki's so excited to make Chancellor over in her own image!  I just bet that tassels are involved somehow.......

Katherine would be so proud - not.

[surfgirl]

Billy Miller's Billy was always the best. Miller just brought the right mix of loveable fuck-up to that character. Buttbiscuit Billy is narcissistic, mean, and stupid.

Casual Dress Fridays will be tassels-optional.

The more Nikki and Victor make grandiose plans to acquire Chancellor, the more I want it all to blow up in their smug faces. Victor crowing about his family all being in their rightful places under his thumb was as inspiring as a cow pie to the face. Claire is going to change her last name to Newman, because who wouldn’t want to identify with a bunch of broken, toxic losers?

Hey, it’s Summer, and she isn’t even listening to a word that Chance is saying! He’s being sincere and sharing something meaningful; she’s penciling him in on her shit list and calculating the shortest route to shutting him up because he stubbornly refuses to agree with her. Run, Chance. Run like the wind. Taking off your clothes to be more aerodynamic will help. Trust me.

Jack was dead right when he listed all the reasons it’s a bad idea to smoosh Abbott in front of Chancellor. Billy’s colossal ego interprets differing opinions as vicious attacks, even though Jack has earned a lifetime free pass to kicking his bony behind whenever and wherever he wants. No, Billy, you won’t ever measure up to Jack. You can’t even measure up to Harrison.

Traci will never be allowed the tiniest sliver of happiness, it seems. Billy’s capacious nostrils have detected a suspicious odor that for once isn’t wafting up from his undercarriage.

At this point, I can't even look at Dead Cam anymore, it's just too gross. I never liked the actor nor his portrayal when the character was alive and I dislike him even more dead.

Psssst, Adam and Chelsea, it's probably best to look around for who might be within hearing distance before you let the cat out of the bag about your night of passion.

Or, as they're called at Newman Enterprises, Naked Nipples (both male and female) Fridays.

Playing nerf football on like a square yard of grass. Seriously, Show?

Billy may be a primo d-bag but I'll acknowledge his ability to wear the hell out of a double-breasted suit. It's those Abbott genes, of course.

Meanwhile, Nick in a three-piece suit at the height of a humid summer. No. Just no.

Ghoul Cameron was reading an Essential Elegance magazine. As opposed to a Non-Essential Elegance magazine, which isn't available in Hades.

Sally being so tolerant of Billy's attempts at sh!t-stirring continued to baffle me. AFAIC she was way past needing to tell Billy to back off her relationship with Adam.

Not sure why Daniel felt compelled to inform Nick about Lucy's weird fixation on Faith. It's was almost as if he was doing preemptive damage control.

Connor said the quiet part out loud: his OCD = his parents being closer. He has no idea how much closer. 😏

So does Connor not remember locking Christian in the garage? And didn't he push someone and cause them to miscarry? The OCD is just a small branch of his longtime emotional problems.

I'm wondering how many impromptu interventions Faith, Mariah, and Nick are going to stage for Sharon before they accept her needing greater help than they're able to provide. Sharon is arguably more loopy than a crocheted comforter. Even dead people can see it.

FFS, Chelsea and Adam just committed a ridiculous unforced error. Billy will be insufferable now that he's aware his suspicions about them were correct. Ugh.

Connor is growing up and seems more like the adult in the room.  He’s more mature than Chelsea and almost as tall. 

Billy👃, please shut the fuck up. Sally has made peace with Adam and Billy👃just has to put doubts, in her mind, once again. I guess misery loves company. 

Great parenting skill Heather. Why shouldn’t Lucy be grounded?  Heather is almost as bad a mother as Chelsea and equally as boring.  Faith learned from her mistakes in spite of her parents.  Heather, Lucy didn’t get drunk?  Making excuses for Lucy, Heather. Faith noticed that Lucy was tipsy enough to accuse her of drinking. 

Busted!  Let the tap dancing begin. 

 

[Js Nana]

Enough, already, I am completely bored out of my mind with the Heather/Daniel storyline

[Bunnyto4]

I am bored to tears with every storyline on this fucking show. I'm basically hate watching at this point.

For the love of all that is holy-please make it stop!!
