And a real duster has a sort of cape of the same material over the shoulders & upper back with air vents under it, to shed rain and not cause sweat buildup underneath.

That must be the kind of duster cowboys wear. A decent trench coat (e.g., Burberry) will have similar functional flaps over the back and front shoulder areas.

I guess the show must consider Nikki and Diane the GC fashion icons since they're the ones prominently shown in fancy duster coats.

Huh? This is the only duster I’ve ever seen/worn…it’s just a long, open sweater 

[surfgirl]

That's not a duster, it's just a raggedy long ass sweater. A true duster is an aussie style coat like this, and yes that is a sort of cape like thing thst goes round the back shoulders:

[Sake614]

Okay that’s just fugly! I’ll take my sweater duster any day lol! And they’re not all raggedy.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Nah, Diane and Jack, gloating in Victor's face is not the way you want to go. Steer clear of that walking, talking, and sneering excretory orifice. 😉

Shouldn't Phyllis be looking for a job instead hanging out in Crimson Lights waiting for the opportunity to get in Sharon's face, AGAIN?

What was the deal with Nikki's nose today? It looked kinda pinched to me. Ouch.

I think someone in the coffeehouse should've called 9-1-1 after Phyllis loudly threatened Sharon. And Sharon should not have kept engaging with Phyllis in that weird loopy affect she has now.

So Jack did buy up all the Glissade pieces Victor thought he'd discarded before he gave Glissade to Diane. Good on Jack but it seems like an unusual error on Victor's part.

Sorry, I'm still not buying that decades later Sharon suddenly decided she needed to avenge Cassie's death. And now she's ready to spend the rest of her life in prison. The plot contrivance is contrived.

Finally. Kyle climbed off his high nepo baby horse and returned to the Jabot fold. Hopefully this means we won't get the 973rd repeat of the argument between him, Diane, and Jack.

[MsMalin]

Why do they allow Victor to speak with his mouth full when we can barely understand him when it's empty?

The Great Duster Debate: "The original dusters were full-length, light-colored canvas or linen coats worn by horsemen in the United States to protect their clothing from trail dust. These dusters were typically slit up the back to hip level for ease of wear on horseback." from Wikipedia.

Duster used by one of the Younger Brothers in the Northfield bank raid, 1876

Jack buying up the Glissade pieces TGVN sold off at fire sale prices: I guessed that might be the case.

Was allowing the pieces of Glissade he was selling off be bought up by Jack an error on Victor's part: Since it would have been a really stupid mistake if Jack purchased those pieces in either his name, or in Jabot's name, I'm guessing he set up some fronts to do the buying - - I'm also guessing that he intends to give Glissade to Diane to run.

She may be out on bail, but wouldn't you expect that someone facing the kind of charges Sharon is, would be wearing an ankle monitor and have not working in her coffee shop as part of the requirements for that bail?

[Joimiaroxeu]

On the clothing front:

The new wardrobe person must've decided Phyllis needed to ease up on the cold shoulders. Today she was dressed like she lived in a chilly climate for a change.

I loved Claire's dress. I thought she was giving more executive assistant than rich kid's nanny.

Meanwhile, apparently Summer got dressed in the dark this morning.  What was this monstrosity of an outfit she had on?

I think it was almost as bad as this:

sorry wardrobe person, you're new but I am still ocd like that

[Sake614]

If you looked closely, Phyllis’s dress was sheer and ill fitting. That girl is in dire need of better support. I know she doesn’t have much to work with, but what she has is sagging badly! 

I loved Nikki’s style from the waist up. Not big on the pleather skirt. 
 

Sharon’s dress was gorgeous but it’s the wrong season. It also looks like some of the fillers in her face have settled and she thankfully hasn’t gotten more. 

claire looks more like she’s channeling Little House on the Prairie than going to work at Chancellor. But at least her makeup was better.

[WhitneyWhit]

The scenes between Phyllis and Sharon were wild today mainly because between the two of them I would never guess Sharon was the one with a diagnosed mental illness if I didn’t already know.

The thing that bothered me about Nikki's outfit is all the different textures. I would've liked a tweed jacket with tweed pants, or a leather jacket to go with the skirt. But tweed and leather, and a silk print blouse? Nope. One texture too many IMO.

Found out from Worn on TV that Claire was wearing a skirt and blouse versus a dress. Now I don't love her look so much.

I’ve been away for two days and it’s still the same old shit.  Talking of 💩, what’s wrong with Manic Phyllis🕷️’s eyes? They are all puffy. 

Does Manic Phyllis🕷️ thinks she owns CL?  Why would she think that she wouldn’t run into Sharon.  Sharon, I got an idea, just refuse service to Manic Phyllis🕷️. Manic Phyllis🕷️ says Sharon has some nerve to show her face in GC, has she forgot about all the 💩 she has pulled. Also Summer❄️x6 has no right in condemning Sharon for trying to kill her mother.   Did Summer❄️x6 forget about running Adam and Chelsea off the road killing their unborn baby?  The only punishment she got was that Nick bought her a new “Lexus instead of the new Range Rover”.  Manic Phyllis🕷️ is a master at projecting what she does on others.  Manic Phyllis🕷️ thinks that everything she and her children do are justified and consequences are not in her vocabulary.  When Manic Phyllis🕷️ was growling snarling at Sharon, I thought I saw a little foam on Manic Phyllis🕷️’s mouth.  Can someone say Cujo.

Well she was in a car crash and hit her head on the air bag. Sadly that was the only damage to her. The airbag however had to endure being hit by her head. It did not survive. 

[NinjaPenguins]

What are we going for here? I really want to know who these scenes are for. Am I supposed to be pumping my fist as Phyllis does her best cocaine bear impression? She sure turned on Summer in a hurry when her dumbass daughter tried to slow her roll. Why the fuck are Summer and Phyllis even at Sharon’s place of business? Get lost, losers. I love how little Michael seems to care about losing Phyllis’ friendship.

Once more, what are we going for with scenes of Nikki and Victor oozing their smarm and self regard all over Chancellor. What incredible gall to act like Nikki finally triumphed after a hard fought battle to win the CEO position. Watching rich assholes get handed wealth and power by other rich assholes isn’t my idea of entertainment. Nikki really seems to think the job was owed to her. Like… was this gross display of entitlement supposed to come off as charming or touching or something?

Oh, thank goodness Kyle is back with his manpain and ready to be rewarded for stealing corporate secrets by accepting the cushy job he’s always wanted. He and Claire generate about as much spark as a dog dragging its ass across a carpet. Let’s hope Kyle getting his anal glands expressed happens off screen.

See, this is so much better than Show actually is. Case in point: I've been away for 10 days and I'm catching up with my dvr. I tried watching the TDay epi and had to bail. Then, I just tried to watch today's epi and had to bail again. I possess less than minus zero fucks about any of these storylines. Sharon losing her marbles? Couldn't give a shit. Prick and Nikk's CI take over? GTFO. Vile Kyle's redemption dog and pony show? I don't have a square to spare. I currently loathe every character right now and Show is unwatchable for me. BUT! Having said all that, I am thankful for my prevert community here because you'se guys put the fun in the painful burning that is SHOW!

The airbag

I'm confused......which one was the airbag, again?  Because, going by what we saw at the coffee shop, the difference between a windbag and an airbag might be very slight.

For more than a minute there I thought I was seeing a trailer for some new Jurassic Park movie before I realized that gaping mouth hissing venom was Phyllis.  Again.  When I saw she brought along her hand puppet, Summer, it all began to make sense.  Unfortunately.

Does today's show mean we're finally done with all the "I've changed" blather from Phyllis?

I only wish the judge that gave her community service for playing dead, burning bodies, killing that guy and sending Diane to prison witnessed Phyllis today.

Oops! There was so much entitlement running amok I almost forgot about Picklepuss and that carbunkle she calls a husband. 

First, Mr. Mumbles blurbles out something about how Nikki has "made the office her own".  Really?  Looked like the same Design by Ikea it was before.  Perhaps Victor means the smell.  The ooze of smarm can't be bottled.  I suggest Industrial strength Febreze.

Then, Nikki really did look like she'd bitten into a giant kosher dill at the same time Victor let the hell hounds loose, so to speak.  But no, that was just Ms.  You Gotta Have a Gimmick of 1982 giving attitude to Diane.

The most amazing part of today's show is that someone actually got PAID to write it.  Wonders will never cease.

 

sorry, double post

Yes Manic Phyllis🕷️killed that airbag, but her eyes looked like crap before her battle with the airbag.

Claire and Kyle take flight

[Bunnyto4]

My Goddess, could the writers of this show be any lazier? Look! Jordan's back with one of her really shitty "disguises"! 
It has been intolerable for months. Last week, when the great Helen Gallagher died, I was reminded of the quality writing and acting of "Ryan's Hope". 
This show we're being subjected to is crap, and I am pretty much hate watching at this point.

[Waldo13]

What’s real 🐂💩, is that every time I see Auntie Jordan is how the usually all knowing Victor doesn’t know that Auntie Jordan is out of jail.  

Claire/Eve would be better off kissing a mannequin than Kyle. A mannequin is a better actor and a better kisser.  Even a mannequin would be more attuned to the fact that Claire/Eve was a virgin.  Think about it 😉. 

You can tell Lucy is Manic Phyllis🕷️’s granddaughter.  She doesn’t take the time to even know why there is another person’s point of view.  Lucy, is your mother dead?  You call Heather your mother but do you even know that Daisy is your real mother?  Do you know that your mom was, let’s say,  unbalanced.  Lucy, you love your grandmother, but you can ignore all the crap she has put her family through.  

What is the significance of Sharon’s dress with chains being depicted?  Are the monkeys with a keyboard trying to send us a subliminal message?  

We know that It wasn’t Sharon who ran Manic Phyllis🕷️ off of the road because Sharon didn’t have her phone, but that seems in the past. Now we have the possibility of Sharon’s meds being tampered with but what will be the outcome?  After a few days would that be swept under the rug also?  

 

 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Kyle said he's getting Diane a purse for Christmas. Given the way he's treated her it better be a Birkin. Just sayin'.

Is Ian losing his marbles? Even through the door's peephole, Jordan's disguise shouldn't have stumped Ian if he's been living in close quarters with Jordan.

I think Faith is another one who needs to stay away from Phyllis and Phyllis' kin. Nothing good can come from her trying to talk to them. Today proved that just like her Grandma Pee Pee, Lucy has no filter on her mouth.

Nick is a wealthy man. Seems to me he could hire a PI to look into the mess Sharon is in instead trying to get Chance to work it from the inside the GCPD. That's not Chance's job, especially since the case has been turned over to the DA.

I still don't get why Ian is so mad at Sharon he's (probably) tampered with her bipolar meds.

Huh? Didn't Claire tell Kyle she was a virgin weeks ago? Whatever, I hope they used at least two kinds of protection. The last thing Claire needs is to be pregnant with Kyle's baby.

Whoo, Ian and Jordan's relationship is hella weird. They might end up trying to kill each other, lol.

Oh noes, will Claire pick up on Jordan's nearby presence or is she too enthralled with cherry poppin' Kyle? 😈

You’re reading way too much into it lol! It’s an Hermes style print. I think it’s gorgeous.

A cheap-looking Hermès-like print, IMO. Nikki's silk blouse also featured a chain print and it cost almost as much as Sharon's maxi dress. I think Sharon is one of the most consistently badly dressed women in GC.

[ScoobieDoobs]

"Your mother is a monster.  You can't really love her."  Yup, what a lovable gal & a sweetheart that Lucy is, eh?  Er, Faith, if ya skip EVER speaking to Lucy again, you'll miss absolutely nothing, hun, except avoiding talking to an asshole like her granny.

Since when do the police do detective work for private citizens?  Oh yeah, I forgot, Vic owns the GCPD, right?  More dumbness from the writers.

So did Jordie get inspiration for the blonde bob wig & side-leaning beanie from Faye Dunaway in Bonnie & Clyde?  OK then.  Would that make Ian an elderly Warren?  Sheesh, Ian looks like he can barely move, but continues to be charmless, humorless & a generally unpleasant old coot.

Sniff, today we lost the last 30 year old virgin in GC . . . and to Pomp.  Was so bored by their bed scene, was wondering if he actually has a twin bed & a racing car bedspread.  Oh Claire, you can do better than him.  And what about the hair  gunk on the pillows?  Ew.

Sharon is maddening.  She wants to confess & go to prison forever, while not remembering committing the crimes she's accused of.  Gah, writers, make it make even a tiny bit of sense!

[Denize]

If Sharon really wanted to kill Phyllis, she could have poisoned her coffee during one of Phylly's numerous visits to Crimson Lights.  I don't patronize the businesses of people I don't like, but Phyllis, Daniel & Lucy can't seem to stay away. A couple of days ago Phyllis said to Sharon in her own business - "what are you doing here?".

[boes]

It's not the most appropriate comparison to make, I guess, but that whole afterglow conversation between Kyle and LIttle Miss Muffet who apparently, sat on a tuffet for the very first time made this

pop immediately into my mind.

Romance does that to me.
