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

[Joimiaroxeu]

Victoria knocking back bourbon, alone in the jazz club. Odd. Shouldn't she have been upstairs basking in the afterglow with Cole?

It's hilarious the wardrobe people had Sharon so dressed up for such a scuzzy location. Sparkly outfit, bold jewelry. She's the best-dressed hostage!

Ian said he wants nothing but the best for Mariah. Either he was lying to Jordan or to himself. Ugh.

I didn't realize chloroform could cause hallucinations. Maybe Sharon was breathing some kind of chemical-filled sewage fumes.

Since when are Chelsea and Victoria chummy? Chelsea sure gets a lot of mileage out of being the mommy of a Newman heir.

Jordan and Ian were literally bad bedfellows. Sorry Ian, Jordan was not d*ckmatized by your psycho boudoir skills. <brain bleach stat>

How is living at the Newman ranch going to help Connor's mental health? I think the writers are twisting themselves into human pretzels trying to create a reason for Chelsea, Connor, and Adam to use the old ranch set. #notimpressed

Of course Jordan had to have a 2nd trip to the coffeehouse for her unique drink order that Claire previously recognized. Because Claire also had to make a 2nd trip there in order to catch Jordan. Fie coincidences!

Poor Chance, lol. Sitting there listening to Nick lay out the analysis on Sharon's disappearance that his ace detective self (🤠) failed to do. It's a bad day when your girlfriend's dad's gut is smarter than you are, huh Phillip IV?

Kitten is Jordan's nickname for Claire? Oy. Claire sweetie, I see forced captivity in your future. AGAIN. But you'll look fabulous in your red faux leather coat. 😼

I think they big mistake letting MW let go as I think she is a good actress and runs rings around those on GH

I agree, MW is a good actress and she may be/have been fantastic on other shows. However, AFAIC she was a bad fit for Y&R and for the role of Diane.

I think Connor has a propensity to bury the lead when he tells his family about his OCD's.  Or they are not giving him enough time to finish his story.  He was incarcerated treated in-house for his problem and he has the 'tools' to cope, as he himself has said repeatedly.  If they want to child-proof the house every time he gets a hair up his tush they better have a contractor on retainer and on call 24/7.

Heh, I think Connor buries the lede in his tales of OCD woes because he's a drama queen. Chelsea and Adam get enthralled by his behavior and he loves the attention. I continue to think Y&R should've gone instead with an autism spectrum diagnosis for Connor but maybe that's too controversial. Either way, sometimes it seems to me the writers are lowkey expressing disdain for OCD as a malady.

Please stop making me watch Kyle and his pompous pompadour get all schmoopy with the nanny. They are positively repellent. Whatever the opposite of chemistry is, they have it.

Whee! As far as anti-chemistry is concerned I don't think Claire and Kyle are as bad as Faith and Moses were (before they broke up off-camera) but they're close. Most of the legacy family couplings don't work because they usually seem too forced.

I heard that MAB was forced to hire her

This is interesting to me because I read elsewhere that EB had a hand in getting MW off the show. If that's true, did he have more clout with TPTB than MAB did? Wow.

That's very interesting, Joimiaroxeu. I didn't think of it that that way.  I know that for me, the subject and how it's portrayed as managed to both annoy and bore me simultaneously. It seems so overwrought.

So today Show decided to have Victoria join in on the pushing the most unromantic, least compelling re-coupling of Adam and Chelsea?  It's the dreariest "romance" since Cane and anybody whatsoever.  They're pushing Adam on Chelsea as if they're trying to get her to have more fiber in her diet.

Oh, the romance.  Also, anytime Show has both Victor AND Victoria giving relationship advice, that's time to run the other way as fast as possible.

Show is so boring these days, so very very boring.
