Getting to Genoa You All Over Again: Y&R Daily Chat

[Joimiaroxeu]

Hmm. I'm okay with Jack trashing Billy because that's what some siblings do. Plus those two have a rough history together as Abbott heirs. But Diane? You can STFU about Billy and any other members of Jack's family. Grrr.

Hah hah, Audra and Kyle. Play shady games, win shady prizes. You're both tools in Victor's eyes.

Faith looked unusually small to me today, standing next to Nick. Was she barefoot or was he wearing higher heels?

Diane said Jabot would be a laughing stock in the business world if they didn't hire Kyle's replacement. Whaaaattt? Jabot may be the object of giggles but I doubt Kyle's firing is the reason. Probably its co-CEO wifey with virtually no experience in the cosmetics industry.

Hey Diane, don't start none, won't be none. Your first mistake was thinking Audra would be intimidated by you.

Kyle made the same error Lily did. He gave up his inside information to Victor before securing the quid pro quo he wanted. Sigh.

So Sharon already covered her bases with Paul by using Heather's phone to text him. She's a criminal genius! 🤡

Whoa, Heather's corpse washed up on the river bank already. And the GCPD identified her by her fingerprints. I'm thinking Sharon needs to watch more mafia movies because they know to remove all the fingertips and teeth before disposing of a dead body.

Audra. How TF did you let yourself not only get outplayed by Kyle but lose Glissade too? Giiiirrll.

Yuck. Pale, bloated, waterlogged Heather laying in the morgue was not something I needed to see.

[Chatty Cake]

Audra and Kyle are dumb dummies. Each one clamoring for Victors attention and praise. Audra, I get it, she didn’t know what she would be dealing with. Kyle however has worked for Victor before. It would have been easier to make nice with Diane. He needn’t get too excited by Audra’s firing.

Oh no. Nicks making that face he makes when he knows something is wrong.

Though all that Botox made it easy to play a corpse!

Now we need to see if she was found bound up in those blankets from home to indicate that she did not voluntarily jump in the river, or she slipped out of the cocoon in the water, making it less obviously murder.

I wonder if Amy Lewis is a Detective now? Maybe her former boss Paul will ask her to look into it if TPTB won't allow Doug Davidson back on the show.

So, Kyle's got the key to a "game changing moisturizer" at the very moment Heather is in desperate need of just such a thing.  Coincidence, you ask?  Oh, I think not.  Josh Griffith's latest labyrinthine tale of murder, deception, secrets, lies and skin care has begun.  Where will the dominoes fall?

Jabot is in peril of being the laughingstock of the industry because they don't have a COO.  That fact that people only get hired based on their DNA and/or declining mental acuity has nothing to do with it?  

While Jack Abbott dithers at Jabot, Billy Abbott dallies at Abbott/Chancellor, determined to,THIS time, prove all the people who've watched him mess up everything he's ever touched, that now he's just one big brainiac, oozing brain  matter out of every orifice not in constant use like his big mouth.  Nothing says "WOWZA" like handing a giant company doing fine for years to an ingrown pimple of a man who expects to be lauded simply for not destroying the company in record time.

Meanwhile, sitting at his desk in the Hell Mouth, Dr. Demento reads his lines off his computer, his phone, his carbuncles, muttering and mumbling about ruling all the giant businesses of Genoa City.  Every cheese platter will say NEWMAN or his name isn't Pennywise the Clown!

Glissade, that new, hip cosmetics company, previously run out of Paris but now headquartered in the Colby Cheese capital of the world, Genoa City, prepares to rise to the top like a container of Pillsbury Grands bursting open past its sell-by date.

Kyle has currently bested Audra by stealing that moisturizer recipe, but Audra is sure to come back with an unbeatable idea perfectly suited to Glissade in Wisconsin - dairy based beauty products. 

Think of it - yogurt-scented perfumes like Two Good Greek, Cherry Parfait Fruit on the Bottom, Bad Boy Blueberry and for those romantic nights, Chobani Dark.

Sour cream rubs to tighten up those sinking cheeks, a little large curd lotion for those living large, small curd for the teens.  It's an idea whose time has come.

Show is cooking with gas!  Just lean in a get a whiff......

Oh yeah, poor Heather.  I'm predicting right now that Paul is not going to make it to Heather's funeral, which I'm sure will be held at Crimson Lights and catered by Sharon (she has all those muffins all baked and ready to go), because he won't be able to shimmy out of his jeans in time to make his flight.  He'll probably do a pantless zoom.  Oh so sad.

One more thing

Are Kyle and 

Pepe Le Pew the same person?

Or do they just smell the same?

So the writers/producers really did kill off Vail's acting career?  Yay!  Thank you, writers/producers for sparing us from Vail's annoying, breathless delivery & shitty hair-acting.  Sounds good to me.  Hopefully, the ensuing wah-wah-wah-ing won't last too long.

Man, Sharon certainly is honing her ability to give guilty looks, eh?

Ah, so Audra is fired?  Shockers!  Where will she land next?  Given her dust-up with Diane, guess she wouldn't be welcome at Jabot.  Sex pal Natey can't help her out cuz Devon can't stand her.  And her only friend in town, Sally, can't do much either cuz Summer pouts her head off whenever she's nearby -- and also can't stand her.

So what will become of Audra?  Maybe the GC escort service has some openings or available positions . . .

Oh, okay, it hadn't occurred to me Amy Lewis might be coming back in that capacity. I figured she'd be telling Nate he has a half-sibling who needs a kidney, ha ha.

Re DD, allegedly he's been claiming on social media that he wouldn't come back even if TPTB begged him. So maybe Paul will be too upset about Heather's death to return to GC, and Daniel will decide to have Heather buried in Portugal.

Meanwhile, I like Audra and I'd hate to see her leave GC. I think she and Sally are good as besties since they're both sorta social outcasts in GC. Plus, every soap needs a resident Bad Girl who uses her feminine wiles to get ahead. Unless she's independently wealthy though (or Nate marries her, lol) I don't know how Audra can stick around much longer.

As with so many other things that happen of importance in GC, the funeral will probably be off screen and Paul will be on a plane back to Portugal when Daniel and Lucifer come back to the condo.

Yeah, she's grown on me, too.  In olden days she would have become Viktor's newest love interest and he would have ditched Drinkki and married Audra.  Not a fate I would wish on my worst enemy.

I predict that Viktor jumps the gun and fires Kyle as well and then Kyle sees the light and spills to Jack and Diane the theft he made of the magic potion lotion.  And glisaade slides out on it's slimy trail.  How is it again that Glissade and A-C are linked?  Does Viktor really need it anymore?  Wouldn't Kyle betraying his family business be enough revenge?

[ScoobieDoobs]

Yeah, Kyle stealing the magic potion lotion was pretty lowball.  And it may seem like a big deal, but it's not.  First off, one product does not make a successful cosmetics/skincare company, let alone a stolen product.  And it sounds like it's still in development, so that's no guarantee of a hit.  Plus, Jabot can still come out with their magic lotion potion anyway & knock sales from Pissade's stolen version.  Dupes are all the rage in skincare.  Eh, yet another storyline not well thought out.

I'm not an Audra fan.  I make the same just-smelled-shit face everyone in GC does when she shows up.  But I do like her spunk & enjoyed her giving Diane a right-on reality check. I'm puzzled what Show is gonna do with her next.  And yeah, if this was 30 years ago, she would be wife #400 for Vic.  But since he can barely hold up his phone now & he starts (and finishes) every scene sitting down . . . uh, that ain't happening.

Oh Sharon, get a grip, hun.

Workin' Phyllis -- without her "cooperation"?  That sounds like a plan!

What if they found the blankets in the river as well, and when are they going to question how Heather could have sent messages to people from her phone after she was most likely dead, and if the pathologist's finding is that she had water in her lungs, that would mean that she was alive when Sharon tossed her in the river, but there would still be the blunt force trauma to her head to be explained . . . lots of questions to be answered.

I disagree

Viewers in the early years of soap operas would find weekday distraction in the melodramatic presentation of the interpersonal tribulations of middle-class, laboring class, and smattering of rich, by the standards of the fictional localities, families that made up the majority of the characters, and the viewers believed in those characters - it's time for Y&R to transition from its 80s glitz phase with its tiresomely repetitive storylines and introduce characters the viewership can relate to.

Let me rephrase - it's time for Y&R to introduce characters the viewership can care about.

Shut up Sharon! Nick is making that face he makes when he is thinking with his brain. Daniel is grief stricken but he’ll also start to think AND he will tell his mommy who can’t wait to turn on her. Has she learned nothing from Ghost Cameron?

[Joimiaroxeu]

Hey, it's Katie and Johnny.

TMW your 2nd ex-wife gives you worse news than she realizes, and it'll probably lead back to your 1st ex-wife in a terrible way. Poor Nick.

I think Sharon's doctor must be a quack if they don't realize she's a walking bundle of insanity right now. Was Sharon lying to Ghoul Cameron about receiving a nearly clean bill of mental health?

Lily, you are so dumb. You have no idea. Ugh though on Victor smirking at her like she's a kid awaiting a special toy he knows she ain't gonna get.

Yes, Lucy, it's all YOUR fault Heather is dead. Go jump into a bottle of vodka and then call Faith. You have a perfect excuse now.

MG certainly brought his A-game for his big Emmy reel moment. Daniel's emotional devastation after he spoke to Paul was almost palpable. Bravo.

Uh oh, did Lily accidentally put a target on Phyllis' back when she told Victor who Billy's COO is?

Victoria, take your "civil approach" and shove it up your hiney. You know Victor is in the wrong. Trying to use your kids to guilt Billy into folding on A-C was total b.s. and they unknowingly proved it. Hang tough, Billy.

(I'm rooting for Billy. What is this world?!?! 😱😱😱😱😱)

Wait, what? Victor and Lily think they can work Phyllis? HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH! Good luck with that, you morons.

[Peppermint]

An Audra without an agenda is a dangerously loose cannon. Even if Nate is wrapped around her little finger, he has nothing to offer her business or career -wise. Methinks she has run out of available men dupes in Genoa City. Time to hunt up Tucker and polish up her wiles to lure him back to life in the corporate lane. His return to GC could coincide with the release of Ashley from her stay in "MaybeMartin's" Parisian asylum. 

Anything to put Tucker back into my life again. Ahem...OUR lives again, sorry....

Paul had an annoying mother, a cop father,  a priest brother(later played by Mrs Chancellor's real son), and sister Patty who was crazy about Jack and cats. He was married to Lauren. She put his naked picture in Playgirl. He ran a PI agency with Andy, President Gerald Ford's real son. He worked with Nathan Hastings, Nate's father. He was on the show almost the whole time.

You mean Nikki. Believe it or not, he never slept with Sharon. But Sharon joining a cult will probably happen. 

[Stpauliegirl]

Is it to much to ask for just once, that Jack or Diane know that vindictive and disloyal Kyle would snoop into their laptop? That they would plant false information to mislead him when he trying to engage in corporate espionage? He is such an idiot. He is trying to destroy the company his family owns in order to please the owner of the company where is an employee.

[Peppermint]

See, @babyhouseman , I said others could do better than me....Paul & a blonde was all I remembered. And @boes, I did forget about Dylan. My Grandma was immensely proud of my cousin for being a TV Star. I was immensely embarrassed by his acting skills. 

[Sake614]

I think the vast majority of viewers did…or at least tried to. 🤣

[ScoobieDoobs]

Oh Sharon, STFU & cool it, will ya?  Is Nick giving her suspicious looks -- or just going, "duh"?

So is the theft of the Jabot magic lotion potion a sign of Kyle's stupidity?  Sure, but more than that, it highlights the inexperience & incompetence of Diane.  She shouldn't be in the position she's in & the blame for that is solely on Jackie.  Billy got in a good shot at Jackie.  He is being over-run by his demanding shrewish wife.  The whipped dunce should be angrier at Diane than Kyle.

So will we see Paul & his wall-to-wall yellow head rug?  Eh, probably not . . . and who cares?  Still happy-happy don't have to watch Vail/Heather anymore.  Chelsea next, please?

Guys, maybe I’m the one who is nuts, but despite actually being shown Heather on a slab I STILL don’t feel like it really happened. There’s just too much unbelievable stuff being overlooked, the way happens in dreams (no security cameras, superhuman strength, the coroner not mentioning the head trauma or no water in lungs, Lucy being suspicious of Sharp right away). Can ALL of that just be bad writing??

 

 EDIT:

 looks like I jumped the gun about the autopsy stuff. Still, that murder looked so fake I can’t convince myself it happened.

Edited 19 hours ago by lgprimes
Jumped the gun

[ScoobieDoobs]

Nope, Heather is dead.  Vail confirmed she's been fired.  She thinks she may get a call to come back someday.  Wouldn't hold my breath waitin' for that call, hun.  It took 'em 25 years to call J. Eddie.

Some really weak writing going on here.  So Heather's body is found, washed up by the river & NOBODY asks how she got there?  Not Daniel, not Lucy, not Summer & not Phyllis asks this.  In fact, the only one who does is Sharon, who Daniel accuses of being insane for sensibly (surprising for Sharon) asking about the details of how she got there.

And Phyllis's breakdown for someone she barely knew, who Daniel only got back together with a few months ago, was oddly over-the-top & definitely inappropriate.  Ah, but no surprise for Phyllis to be inappropriate, eh?  And in her tirade to Sharon, she conveniently forgot that Sharon had every right to be angry with Heather cuz her shitty parenting of Lucy led (if somewhat indirectly) to what could've been a fatal car crash involving Faith.

Sally's dangling earrings were cute, but they were reflecting light & were very annoying & distracting.  Oh no, are we really are gonna get Bally or Silly?  Meh.

Edited 15 hours ago by ScoobieDoobs

[pvandal]

OMG the scene is taking place in a bar and MS makes the acting choice to wipe her snotty nose on her arm rather than grab a cocktail napkin. Maybe there wasn't one there but ugh that grossed me out.

Shallow note, Sally looked very pretty today. Great hair, good dress.

Poor Paulie Tightpants. He better find Dylan and keep an eye on him He's his last kid.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Guess from the previews, we can assume that Sharon's frame-up of Daniel will lead to  . . . the GC trial of the century for Daniel?  Ugh, expect more high drama from Phyllis.  Ick.

And we're to believe there are NO witnesses to Sharon entering & leaving Daniel's building or apt.?  Not the first time OR the second time (while planting the frame-up)?  No neighbors, no dog-walkers, no joggers/walkers/hikers, no building staff and  NO CAMERAS ANYWHERE?  Er, huh?

Sorry, writers.  Uh, no, that's not the way it is in 2024.  Cameras ARE everywhere.

[Peppermint]

@One Tough Cookie  As @babyhouseman corrected me, NIKKI was in the cult with Paul....the same cult that raised Cassie's twin Mariah.

And, yeah, Sharon would fit right into a cult.  

Since Sharon has shown by her cover up attempts that she knows right from wrong, will an insanity defense be denied ?? What's going to keep her out of prison ?? No one ever finding a clue ?? Not likely, with Chance back on the Job. 💞

The quickest job change in history...from COO to COP in 3-2-1...

And Lucy's sweater was beautiful and flattering.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Maybe saying Cam told her to do it might help in her insanity defense?  Well, he can't help with an alibi . . .

Nice that Chance can just make a call & get back on GCP.  Did he call Vic?

[Joimiaroxeu]

My score on Sally's bag = 10/10. Me want.

Hey, it's Chance.

Geez, I think Sharon needs to run in the opposite direction whenever she sees Daniel or Faith. She keeps acting lowkey weird around them.

Like Chelsea, Adam seems to have a hard time with the concept of breaking up. Two words, Sally: restraining order.

The jurisdiction where Heather's body was found wasn't the GCPD's but the Fates decided Sharon's ex-lover and former GCPD detective needed to get involved. Ruh roh.

FFS, Adam, walk away. You don't need to confront Billy every time you see him. And Chelsea doesn't require your services as a bodyguard.

Whoo chile, I was totally here for that fiery takedown Phyllis delivered to Sharon. She had all the smoke for Sharon's fake condolences.

Sounds like GC's coroner is putting together the facts about Heather's actual cause of death. Sharon might have to throw him off a bridge too, lol.

Alrighty then! Billy asked Sally out. Sorta. If the big A-C launch party even happens.

Summer suggested Lucy and Daniel come stay at the GCAC with her. Wasn't she supposed to be buying a house?

I guess Billy doesn't pay attention to news bulletins since he was blissfully unaware of Heather's sudden demise. Hey, William, it's okay for you to hug Phyllis in her grief but hail nah on any comfort sex. 🤨

Sharon planting evidence drenched with Heather's blood to make it look like Daniel killed Heather. Definitely didn't see that coming. < golf claps>

[One Tough Cookie]

Is this going to be a plot like Dallas, when the entire season was a dream?

I ff'w thru any and all appearances with Chelsea.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Well, if it is a Dallas-like dream, please let Vail stay fired.  Is that why she's waiting for a call from producers to re-hire her?  She's banking on this being a dream after all?    Guess she'll need to keep up the Botox injections, especially if the call doesn't come for 25 years.

There was a syndicated show called "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" which ran from 1984 through 1995 that had the catchphrase "champagne wishes and caviar dreams," interestingly, it was back in the early 1980s that Y&R transitioned into its "Lives of the Battling Billionaires" phase, from which it has yet to emerge - the "producers/studio heads/network, etc" need to wake up to the fact that what flew in the 1980s (aka "the me decade") no longer resonates in an era when most people are making sacrifices left and right just to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table - it's time to transition to storylines dramatizing the personal trials and troubles of Genoa City's middle-class and put the Abbotts/Newmans/Chancellors/Winters families in the background.

Particularly because they don’t even pretend to have the budgets to do “rich.” They don’t do a gala at the Colonnade Room, for example, they do it at the GCAC where people could walk through in their sweaty gym clothes. Adam is a business mogul with a 440 sq foot apartment.

Does William Nostrildumbass ButtBiscuit Abbott have to complain EVERY day to someone about how THIS time everyone's gonna see how wrong they've been about him because THIS time he's gonna take Abbott Chancellor to NEW HEIGHTS.

You do that, Billy.  But remember that absolutely Nobody is wrong about you having fucked up every single opportunity that's been handed your over-the-hill Nepo baby way, every single one.  So, in the unlikely event you don't mess this, once again, handpicked and hand delivered opportunity to not sink a company so successful and so long-lived that it would actually take work to ruin, If you don't make a mess of it, that'll be a first. You won't have proven anyone wrong because up till now, you've been a giant ass pimple in every other venture your family has provided to you.

I'm more than a little sick of this long in the tooth Nepo baby whining about not being appreciated, when he's been coddled every step of the way with jobs and opportunities he's in no way EVER earned.

Billy whines more than Adam and that's a high bar, as shown by Adam's constant whining AGAIN today.

Hey Phyllis, keep on trying to make Heather's death all about you while still managing to be blind about putting her kids through the exact same thing because you didn't like Diane.  What a wretch of semi human being she is.

Chance was a bright light in today's show!  Here's hoping the GCPD has redesigned their uniforms and he'll soon  be laying the law down in Reno 911 hot pants and a Sam Brown belt.

I'm a big believer in Support the Local Police.
