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

[ScoobieDoobs]

Oh Sharon, why the heck are you wasting your time (and ours!), trying to apologize to The Red Beast?  

So I noticed The Red Beast had the top of her dress hiked up under a coat & when she comes inside, she pulled the top of the dress down, to achieve her bare shoulders look.  Uh, WHY??

OK, so Amy had NO pics of Damian to give Nate?  AND she gave absolutely NO description of Damian to Nate?  Cuz those 2 characters look nothing alike.  Sloppy writing yet again!

Ugh, this sweetie-pie version of Audra is getting on my nerves — and it’s making me think the writers are shoving Bizarro World GC at us.  And Vic will turn into a nice guy & Shmoopy will shave his head & Adam won’t be a weasel.

Dear Lord, that dress Audra was wearing looked like she couldn't breathe.  It was a great color, tho.

Please producers--orange is not a good color for Sally,

I thought the show was getting a new costumer designer or fashion consultant. If so fire them immediately because if Audra and Sally  and Phyllis are any hint of things to come--epic fail.  I was waiting for poor Audra to begin gasping for air.

Heh, if Victor wants to break up Claire and Kyle he should arrange for Kyle to lose all his hair. Kyle would probably go bonkers and turn so obsessed with growing it back that Claire would become an afterthought.

I'm not sure it's sloppy writing so much as an attempt to make us wonder who is scamming whom. Unfortunately I'm pretty much over Amy.

I think Sally looks great in orange, and really liked that shirt/jacket.

as for the new costume designer for the show, she gave us Nikki’s a Janet Jackson look, so it was all downhill from there. I actually liked Phyllis’ dress minus the off shoulders. And seriously wtf was it her pulling down the top to expose her shoulders when she got to Billy’s house?

Because She.Must.Show. Skin.

eta--

And maybe she thinks it will compensate for her poor acting ability?

Maybe she knows Billy is partial to chicken wings?

Phyllis’ dress reminded me a tiny bit of Fran’s lifesaver dress from The Nanny 30 years ago — except that was fun & innovative & The Red Beast’s dress was ho-hum & meh.  And her penchant for shoulder-baring in winter is really weird.

Anyone notice the Newmans were all dressed in all black?  Except for Nikki’s powder blue coat.  Pretty color, but it was ten sizes too big & she distractingly looked like she was being swallowed up by that darn coat.  WTF with this new costuming bunch?

Caw Caw!  

 

 

Why would Sharon give 💩💩 about if Manic Phyllis🕷️ forgives her or not?  Manic Phyllis🕷️get off your high horse and stop projecting all your tendencies on Sharon.  

Who drinks wine with Asian food?  I guess Sally does because she needs a little bit of alcohol to put up with Billy👃.  That black and white dress Manic Phyllis🕷️ was wearing was very appropriate for her image, A Black and White King Snake.  Personal space is not a concept  for Manic Phyllis🕷️. 

The more the Amy and Daniel saga goes on the more boring it gets.   

Pavlov conditioned a dog to salivate when a bell rings because the dog associated the bell with food.  For me, my stomach turns 🤢🤮 every time I see or hear Manic Phyllis🕷️.

About Vic's cranky, ugly rant on hating the Abbott family . . . does he need reminding that pretty much EVERYONE in his immediate family (except for the weasel black sheep Adam & dopey Nick) has married an Abbott -- including himself?  AND 3 (count 'em 3) of his grandchildren are Abbotts.  So when he's hating on the Abbotts, he's actually hating on his own grandchildren.  Yup, what a lovely fellow that Vic is, right?  Uh, NO.

She's marking her territory.  Same thing with plopping down on the couch and helping herself to someone else's lunch.  I don't know if Sally knows about Billy and Phyl's history (since she only dated Newmans) but that's bound to come up. Run, Sally, run.  Wait and see, Phyl will show up in Paris if Sally and Billy go.

Apparently running large companies is not as labor intensive as I thought.  Nate doesn't ever seem to be at the office.*  Now Damien, who owns two companies is wasting his time trying to find out what his mother is up to, even tho he wants nothing to do with her.

*I could understand his off time if we are still on the timeline we had all through January and it's only two days after New Year's Day.

[boes]

Okay, did anyone else laugh out loud when the REAL Damien showed up?  No disrepect to the actor playing the character, but Fake Damien is about 2 feet taller than Real Damien, and Real Damien looks old enough to be Fake Damien's father.

So, apparently Nate never asked and Amy never offered to show him pictures of this supposed brother, but never-did-she-ever even tell him what he looked liked, and he never asked?  How, pray tell, did that whiz of a private detective detect Fake Damien?  Did she just follow the first guy she saw, or decide whoever came out of his apartment had to be him?   

There aren't exactly plot holes in this storyline as much as the whole thing is Big Sky Country.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Phyllis luvs her kids sooo much.  We know this cuz she screeches it every 6 seconds.  Blurting out that nobody else wants to hire Daniel?  Brutal much?  Blech, nobody needs your luv, Red Beast.

The scenes of cuddly-wuddly Vic were making me nauseous.  More Bizarro World GC sh*t from the writers, eh?  When Audra starts wearing Claire’s crappy clothes, then I’m really done watching.  Oh, and another day Chelsea didn’t cry her eyes out.  It really is GC Bizarro World!

So Shmoopy takes Claire’s coat & practically throws it on the floor.  What a guy that Shmoopy is!  Welp, if it ain’t hair goop & a blow dryer, it’s all a blur to Shmoopy.

Hey, I thought Nikki & Claire were now running Chancellor, that huge company, whose only other employee we ever see is Esther.  Ah, silly me, I forgot that with Nikki (the exceptional businesswoman & ex-stripper) running it, the next time she’ll be at Chancellor will maybe (just maybe) be in 6 months, right?

loved the color of the sweater and coat.

[Sake614]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I thought the Victor/Victoria scene was really well done. He wants to discuss the future and she’s having none of it. Can’t say I blame her. I’ve been there (minus the money) and shut down my mother whenever she talked about her death or my inheritance or anything else. She wanted me to know where her final papers were, what to do etc. I never paid any attention and told her she didn’t have my permission to leave. I lost her a month ago. 😢  

it doesn’t matter how old you are, losing a parent is incredibly hard and I don’t know any child who actually embraces that conversation.

the rest of the Show put me to sleep. Jack reminiscing about John, Billy’s bright idea, Phyllis being all in and convincing daniel to do the same.

the only good thing was Diane talking about redecorating the Abbot manse. I mean, there’s nostalgic and then there’s just plain dated. And at this point the decor in that place passed its sell by date about 50 years ago. Keep a few cherished pieces and get rid of the rest.

Fake Damien walked up to Nate at the one and only rooftop bar that people from GC know about in LA. FakeD must have googled Nate to see what he looked like and even wore matching clothes to their meeting. FD probably knew what Real Damien's mama looked like and may have waited behind a potted plant for Amy & Audra to "go shopping".

Billy👃, please tell me how you would be able to prove yourself without the backing of Jack’s money.  If there was no family business, there would be no family money once again proving nepotism is supreme in GC. 

I still ask. If Chance-Com couldn’t compete with NM, how is Abbott Communications compete with NM.  

Manic Phyllis🕷️ is almost as good as crying as Chelsea.  The difference is Manic Phyllis🕷️is more pathetic because she uses it as a weapon where it’s emotional for Chelsea.  

 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Did Billy say he knows media . . . or he knows how to spell media?  What a loser.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Claire and Kyle were acting like they hadn't already seen each other "today." Huh?

Wow, Connor is not only getting taller, today his face seemed more mature, and his voice sounded deeper. Aw, the kids grow up so fast.

How many times are Chelsea and Adam going to have the same conversation about living together but not actually together? Yawn.

Victor being contemplative about his mortality and the fate of his empire after he's gone. Give me a whole frigging break. Everyone knows vampires don't worry about dying.

"Abbott Communications." Sure, that sounds fresh and innovative, Billy. 🙄

Of course Vikki would never miss an opportunity to badmouth Adam to their daddy. It almost seemed to me like she was trying to take advantage of Victor's weakened state.

Now they've got Connor repeating the lie! Victor didn't throw himself in front of Nikki to block a bullet. He didn't throw himself in front of anything but the couch. 😡

And then Phyllis was acting like she hadn't already seen Summer and Daniel "today." 🎶Let's do the time warp again!🎶

Has Victor developed some kind of brain fog? His conversations with Victoria and Adam today were lowkey off, like he wasn't fully in the present. Maybe it's his pain medication.

Gosh, Billy got teary-eyed when Jack hugged him. Don't let your brother down again, William!

 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Aren’t we oh so impressed by Billy?  Whew, he musta broken a sweat with all the work he put in today.  He came up with so many great & swell ideas, right?  Well, no, he actually came up with zero specifics, but he did come up with a name — Abbott Communications.

And what would Abbott Communications include?  Billy seems to have no clue.  But he did come up with a name & Jackie gave him zillions to fund it, so that’s enough “work” for Billy for now, and it’s on to Paris with Sally.  Great writing, writers!

Oh, but Billy does have a goal — to be honest & have integrity, as opposed to his view of Newman Media, so that’s something.  Not much, but something.  Daniel really should stay far away from this mess, destined for failure, but that would banish him to near total irrelevance.  So we know, despite his correct ambivalence, he’ll join up with The Red Beast & The Loser.  Fun in store?  Meh.
