I was sad to read this yesterday. I found AL to be stunningly beautiful so I will superficially miss her.

Sally had to be stinky and sweaty after her jog. Ew on her sitting at GCAC bar in such a state.

Yes! Sally must exercise pretty hard to maintain her body so I'm sure she was quite smelly. (People working out then not showering, especially when sharing a meal with them, is my pet peeve!)

I thought this Summer was much better than the sniveling one that preceded her. When she first started, her character was pretty decent. If Claire and Audra can get camera time...why couldn't Summer. And why can't we be rid of Chelsea?

I would also have liked to see more of a fashion story...Marchetti. Was there no money to create a set? Show whatever Summer was looking at on her phone today; apparently Sally's designs. It would at least have been different than the constantly shifting CEOs, Co-CEO's storylines. And poor Nicki's hairstyles. And Victor's ridiculous vendettas. Geez.

But the absolute, unforgivable worst? Two apparently independent career women (yes, I cannot believe I typed that; but you get the gist) who are tossing away their much-longed-for jobs to take questionable positions working for their boyfriends/exes. Are any of the "writers" women? Is it just us, here on this Board, that notice this?

Actually, he's 67, which makes him 9 years older than my eldest child, but I have to say that, to me, he looks like he's in his early 50s, if not younger.

A business in name only.

FYI, I did not make the comment cited to me above. Another poster did.

Many apologies, Joimiaroxeu, that was from a ScoobieDoobs posting which you quoted in a posting of your own and I think how it got misidentified as your posting is because I took the quote from your posting, which is something I will never do again.

[Joimiaroxeu]

The staging of the intro scene with Summer, Chelsea, and Sally was like the start of a corny joke: "A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead went into a coffeehouse..."

Oh okay, Michael did warn Jack last night about Victor's latest revenge scheme. Kudos to him but Lauren wasn't wrong to be worried Michael might incur more of Victor's wrath.

There's an old saying: when elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers. Apparently Michael sees himself as GC's secret guardian, aiming to protect the citizens from harm which could result if Jack and Victor seriously went at each other. Yo Mike, you are not the hero GC deserves, nor the one it needs right now. GC ≠ Gotham City.

Geez, what illness could've hit Cole so hard and so suddenly? He was barely able to walk on his own when he and Victoria left the tack house.

Sally sure went in on Chelsea. Considering how she's going to do the same thing with Billy she accused Chelsea of doing with Adam, Sally looked like a big ol' hypocrite to me.

Guess Claire had time to seek out Kyle at Crimson Lights but not to go the hospital to see after Cole's medical emergency. Hmm.

Nope, I've seen people complaining about it on other soap forums too. TPTB must not care. Hopefully these storyline developments will eventually lead to Chelsea and Sally both realizing they made a mistake.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Poor Summer was having a no good, very bad day, tee hee. And she hasn't even found out yet about Claire and Kyle planning to move in together. Yikes!

Dear Kyle: neon white is not your color. AFAIC someone needs to spill a caffè mocha on your shirt. With foam.

Vibrante. Possibly as stupid a brand name for a cosmetics company as Glissade. Maybe Audra should consider starting a Vibrante sex toy business instead. 😼

The lack of appropriate boundaries between Connor and his mommy and daddy has to be contributing to his emotional issues, no? Connor might be better off if he was invisible like his brother cousin Christian.

Oh Audra, there ya go again with your cockiness & over-confidence, & clearly forgetting who you’re dealing with.  She sounded kinda condescending with Vic.  Er, huh?  Sorry, sweetie, but ya made a hooker deal with Vic & he fully expects you to hooker yourself & if ya think you can avoid doing that?  Good luck, hun!

Well, at least she did mention wanting to hire staff & get office space — if she can fool Vic into forking over the dough to her.  Won’t be easy, Audra, won’t be easy.  Uh, has Billy EVER mentioned hiring staff, other than Daniel, The Red Beast or Sally or getting office space?  Yeah right.

Forget about Hunter King coming back.  She has other commitments.  She was meh, so no biggie.

Mikey is playing with both Vic & Jackie?  Another one who’s way too cocky & over-confident and will clearly get burned.

Pomp didn’t seem bothered at all by Audra calling him a nepo baby.  Idk, looks like Audra is way under-estimating Claire.  Would luv to see her bring out Claire’s evil side.  We know it’s there, but Show has purposely squelched it.

Brw, what the heck did Audra name her non-business?  Le Brontë?  Who thinks this shit up?

Well, AL sure is signing off with plenty of pouty faces.

I stopped watching a while ago, but I was forced to sit through most of today's episode due to an appointment. Just my luck that only my most hated characters(save for Michael and sorta kinda Lauren, Diane & Sally) were on today! Yay me! 😀

Why is Audra begging Victor for start-up money? She's better off playing the Wisconsin lottery. Where's Nate? Also a cosmetics company? Don't those take years to build, and chemistry labs run by actual chemists? Also where does Kyle get off being such an asshole to her? I have no use for her character but he's about the last person in a position to rip on her for....well......anything tbh. Go play in traffic Kyle. 

Oh no! Cole is getting sick? Is he contagious enough to kill off this boring husk of a soap opera long past it's glory days? No? Then I don't give a fuck. 

Kyle/Claire and Chelsea/Adam are still being shoved down everyone's throats I see.....yeah I didn't miss this shit one bit. I am happy with my regained hour 😂😂

I low-key enjoyed Sally gently, but very obviously, clocking Chelsea about Adam. I don't know why, but Sally merely talking about how Adam operates personally & professionally had more chemistry than Chadam. Ironically enough it reminded me of OG Chadam with Michael Muhney. The show really did us Ally fans dirty....I'll never forget or forgive how they trashed Adam & Sally as individuals, and as a couple for stupid Nick & then Chelsea. 🙄🙄🙄

Chelsea is so stupid, who tells their employer that they might have a new prospect while still working at their current job? Make a decision silently, and then choose to leave or stay. I guess part of this is supposed to be AL!Summer's way out tomorrow. Without Sally or Chelsea she'll have to look outside GC to find replacements.  

I have no idea what mess Victor has Michael in now, but it will always make me upset that this show isn't built around Christian LeBlanc/Michael the way it is EB/Victor. CLB looks great, enunciates well, and is still as great an actor as he ever was. Michael shouldn't be anyone's lackey or bowing to anyone. He should be the savvy patriarch making big moves, running things/having people run scared....Something akin to Adam Chandler, Edward/Alan Quartermaine, Alan Spaulding, Roger Thorpe, etc. If not him then definitely Jack. He's earned it after deacdes of being neutered for Victor.

But nope, we just have an abusive vampire......running roughshod over eveyone.......and it's not even a hot vampire like the ones in the Cullen family 😔😔

My CC is on the blink and I had no idea what she was saying.

So, while  Cole is coughing his guts up in the "hospital" will the producers spring for an IV?  They could get a child's toy and fake it.  My 2 year munchkin has one and he loves wrapping with IV around my arm.

[Waldo13]

I don’t understand Lauren. First she wants Michael to distance himself from Victor then she is upset about Michael going to Jack and moving into enemy territory.  Now Lauren has done a 180 and wants Michael to quit Victor. Lauren doesn’t understand, rich or poor, it’s good to have money.  

Cole is a little past going to the doctor. Cole should be going directly to the emergency room. 

Diane are you forgetting that you and Jack have a lot of control over Kyle’s life.  Diane, aren’t you being a little hypocritical about where Victor’s children live when Kyle lives IN his parent’s house and he wants his girlfriend to live there also. 

Sally are you talking about Adam or Billy👃?  Didn’t Billy👃 just offer you 2nd chair?  Does Sally know about Chelsea’s relationship with Billy👃?  Chelsea knows as much about Billy👃as Sally knows about maybe even better.  As far as Chelsea is concerned she is on a better footing with Adam than Sally has with Billy👃. Chelsea has already been through ups and downs in their relationship. Sally has not gone through the down in her relationship which, with Billy👃’s  track record, it’s bound to happen.

The speculation on what Cole is suffering from has been wild. I've seen everything from COVID to ebola to pneumococcal pneumonia. All those pharmaceutical companies who run ads during Y&R must be loving it.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Hey, I’m all for Audra busting up Clomp, but I’m just not gettin’ how she’s planning to accomplish this.  Vic has pretty much spelled out he wants “results” fast & he expects a seduction.  She seems to think she can bust them up w/o that, cuz Natey would sniff out that kinda shit right off.  Me thinks she’s headed for trouble.

And that weird freakin’ name.  I couldn’t understand what the name was, even tho both Vic & Pomp seemed to luv it.  Er, huh?  Guess anything is better than Pissade — or not.

Buh-bye Cole!  Will he make it thru next week?  I’m betting not.

Btw, will Sally ask Chloe to join her?  Chloe strikes as the kind of sensible gal that would turn her down & say she’d join her when & if it becomes an actual business, cuz right now it’s a bunch of nothing with a name.

You almost have to admire how misogynistic the show can be. While it wasn’t explicitly stated, Audra basically has to fuck Kyle to get start up money from Victor. The vampire is basically a pimp. A Pimpire. Classy.

Then you have Chelsea and Sally giving up perfectly good careers they’ve worked hard for. Why? For their loser boyfriends.

Cole is obviously dying of the poison Ian Ward slipped into his drink on the plane.

Yeah, it was not great. I wondered if they were going for a Lily Tomlin vibe but Diane is not a longtime hippie chick. <shrugs>

At least they seem to be dressing Diane better lately because for a while her clothes were looking kind of cheap for the wife of a billionaire. Diane used to be the model of simple elegance in her dark, well-tailored sheaths but the new wardrobe person doesn't seem to like that. Witness Nikki, who IMO now pretty much overdresses in bizarre mixtures of loud textures.

Oh wow that explains alot. That's pretty fucking despicable. I guess Josh Griffith is taking cues from Bradley Bell on how to write women........If Audra pulls that off(and for her sake I hope she doesn't) Victor will probably get off scot-free once again. Hell, I doubt Kyle will really get taken to task over it either even though he's a dumbass. Great....

I expect nothing less from Chelsea tbh, with her con artist background, and one lame video game no one ever mentions anymore(thank goodness for small favors), her best bet is almost always gonna be whoever she's connected to at the moment. She's mooched careers with Chloe, Nick, Adam, Billy, and now Adam again. But Sally Spectra? A designer from a family of famous designers? OG Sally Spectra's niece? Leaving a secure design job for whatever the hell Genoa City's fail up brat has in store for her? Hell nah. There's not enough words in any known language to explain how fucked up, and backwards that is.

I don't understand why something that Dina gave John should have priority over his portrait.  Didn't she cheat on him, abandon him and the kids?  Is everyone supposed to forget that no matter what anniversary present she gave him, they did not have a happy marriage and the kids all suffered.  And besides that, the picture doesn't really go with the tone of the room.  I still want the 80 in. flat screen.

Or maybe Summer announces that she's going to Italy to find replacements for Chelsea and Sally and makes Kyle promise not to tell Harrison about he and Claire moving in together until she returns, and then she announces that she'll be running Marchetti from Milan, gets custody of Harrison, and never returns - Harrison returns 8 years later as a troubled adolescent because it finally dawns on him that mommy Summer and his father denied him access to Tara, his true mother who raised him for the first 4 years of his life - how long a sentence does someone convicted of tax fraud usually get, because Tara's been serving time for the past four years - shouldn't she be getting out in another year or two?

TMW the previews for next week make you NOT want to turn in 😢.

[NinjaPenguins]

Billy was a real dick to Diane. Like he knows from interior design? We all remember the time he loaded up his nostrils with Sherwin Williams Prison Gray flat interior paint and sneezed all over the Chancellor estate.

Sorry, still not buying the idiotic, sexist storyline where Chelsea and Sally give up the jobs they’re passionate about just to babysit their bed buddies.I especially don’t believe Sally would give up such a big promotion for a company with no offices run by a bleached Gumby doll. I think JG doesn’t know how to do much more than shove everyone into the same company, even if it makes no sense. I’m sure he thinks a Chelsea/Adam vs. Sally/Billy media rivalry is just the ticket. The problem is that the former couple wronged the latter couple by being gross, cheating assholes. Why would I root for trash?

Speaking of which, did everyone take the ink blot test on Phyllis’ dress? I swear to god I saw a pterodactyl clutching a rabid possum flying through the gates of Hell. What an absolutely wretched joke of a mother Phyllis is. She’s completely obsessed with “saving” Daniel whether he wants it or not. She can’t be happy that  he has a friend in Tessa who is helping him - if it’s not about Phyllis, it doesn’t count.

 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Billy waiting for someone to answer the door surprised me. The Abbott manse is his home too, even if he doesn't live there.

Wow, Mariah seemed hella agitated. Maybe it was the sight of Sharon's pants. 😼

Nick said Christian's siblings treated him like the Prince of Wales when they were visiting Noah in London. So, like the nepo baby son of a nepo baby?

Nice of the writers to have Nick mention Allie, especially since it's AAPI month in the US. I'm glad she and Noah are still making their long-distance relationship work.

From the previews next week, beware The Red Beast getting angry!  Eek & yikes!!!

Sheesh, was The Red Beast a total asshole to Tessa or what?  I figured the hug wasn’t real.  Kinda like being hugged by a bat.  Ew.  The expression on Tessa’s mug said it all — after The Red Beast slunk away, after throwing endless snarky, nasty comments at her.  Ugh, she is garbage.

OK, so now Sharon is The Red Beast’s ONLY friend, who she can use as her sounding board — at least, according to her?  Yeah, right!

I’m wondering what exactly Vic is expecting from Audra that will be good enough proof she’s “making progress” with Pomp, before he’ll fork over dough to start her business with the weirdo name.  Uh, porn pics?

I still don’t think Audra has any idea what she got herself into with this horrible deal with Vic.  And I blame the writers for how lowball, vulgar, ugly & truly misogynistic this awful storyline is.  Yech to all of it!

 

[Waldo13]

Are the monkeys with a keyboard going to break up Tessa and Mariah who happens to be the only couple I root for.  Speculation:  Mariah cheated on Tessa leaving the door open for Tessa to cheat with Daniel. 

Nick🦍 is being a “hard on” about Chelsea working for Adam but will he be the same “hard on” when he finds out Sally wants to work with Billy👃?  Is Nick🦍 an equal opportunity “hard on” or will he just be his hypocritical self?  Yes he’s being hypocritical because he only mentioned Chelsea working for Adam and not Sally working for Billy👃.  

What pisses me off more than anything is that Mariah and Tessa are on the rocks while the cringe worth couples Adam/Chelsea and Billy👃/Sally are becoming closer.  

 

[Joimiaroxeu]

Heh, Nick's "seriously, dude?" eye roll when Adam revealed he had offered Chelsea the COO position at Newman Media. Right there with ya, Nick.

I liked Sally's chain link necklace. It wasn't as bulky as the ones Nikki wears.

Bet Diane wished she'd asked Billy for his opinion of her Abbott manse renovation before she showed it to Jack. Billy did not feel the need to pull any punches, unlike Diane's husband. Ouchies.

And then Kyle delivered the third and final blow to Summer by telling her about his and Claire's plans to shack up. Way to pile on, Kyle.

Summer gave one last wistful look around the Abbott living room before she left on what would ordinarily be just a normal business trip. Bye, Summer! Have a safe flight. 😏

Don’t get me wrong; I like the makeover less each time I see it. Billy swaggering about and making snide comments about fifty cent tours just rubbed me the wrong way. Even though I find him more tolerable now, he often reminds me that he can be 5 gallons of overbaked ass batter in a muffin tin.

Isn’t it great that we don’t get to see Mariah’s out of character, awful secret happen on screen, but there’s somehow always time for mind numbing Adam/Chelsea scenes, Phyllis’ narcissistic meltdowns or Victor staring at his phone. What a ham fisted way to get Tessa and Daniel to smash.

I hate to even utter this but, I'm with Mister William Nostrildominicus, I hate the make over. You dont redecorate a legacy set FORFUCKSSAKE. What a waste of money. Either JG has something huge on the producers Or he's a good lay, and since we know his love scenes are about as sexy as watching grandma hump a chair, I'd say it can't be the latter so.

This is such a nasty story line.  We know he wants Clomp broken up.  Totally.  No half steps.  He's not going to cough up any money until that happens so why drag it out with demanding 'proof' that she's 'making progress'?  Why the fcuk didn't he hire a professional to seduce Kyle and a photographer to get it on record?  Would be cheaper and quicker than financing Audra.

Another nasty story.  Just so Daniel gets over his heartache and Phylttth gets more screen time.  We probably won't even find out what Mariah did.  Show will just break them up and move right on to Danessa.  Booooooooo.....

Wouldn't it have made more sense to have Mariah go through some serious PTSD from the return of Ian?  Maybe having nightmares about him still being alive or something?  Wanting to move to an underground bunker to protect Tessa and Aria?  Oh, right, then we couldn't have Tessa and Daniel.....

It looked a LOT longer that recently.  Another woman with extensions?  JC, can't any woman on the show be with natural hair.  However, the sprinkling of grey was refreshing to compared to the long straggling various bleached blonde..  And what did they do to Tessa?

Edited May 3 by One Tough Cookie

Diane’s hair is definitely longer but I’m not sure it’s extensions. Maybe it just grew? Either way, I’m not a fan of the style, if that’s what you can call it. They’re trying to make it curly/wavy but SW’s hair seems to be straight so it’s a massive fail and just looks messy.

[boes]

Now that Summer is on a European tour to entice some poor schlub to move to a mediocre Midwestern cheese and couture town, does that mean "MYSON" is back in the public domain?  Can anyone use the phrase, or will it be held in reserve until Clomp moves in together and Claire gets to use the phrase?

I don't quite understand, though, why Summer has to leave town to find a new creative director.  If Chelsea can be the new CooCooCacoo at Newman Media and Sally can be the equivalent at Abbott Communications, there must be someone in that brain trust known as Genoa City who can do the job.

Why not Esther?  She's already a part-time barista and a Wal-Mart Greeter at Winters Inc., so she's shown she can handle the workload.  What about Sharon?  She could give a free therapy coffee klatch with each new ball gown sold!  Mrs. Martinez must be dying to do something other than fatten up Harrison.  Daniel!!  He's a creative guy.  Couture could come with a side of harmonica/guitar lessons and/or your choice of obscure themed tattoos on your limb of choice.  No need to import someone in my opinion.

I should have known better than to say something nice about ButtBiscquick.  He always ruins it in 24-48 hours.  Self-centered children are an expected pain in the ass, but that same behavior in adults within shouting range of their AARP cards is repellent.  So the Abbott Mansion redesign doesn't fit his likes, doesn't remind him of his father, well suck it up buttercup, show some manners and keep it to yourself.  Good manners cost you nothing, other than the pleasure of making someone else unhappy.  If this beady-eyed, flat-assed, apple doll faced sliver of a man really wanted to honor his father he might just try acting like him. 

Run Sally Run.

Too bad Diane didn't shove that chandelier right up his derriere on the way out.

Now that Summer is off to Europe, think we'll ever see Chance again?

Chance!  I almost forgot about him.  HE could be the new creative director at Marchetti.  I'm thinking everything could be speedo themed....

Oh no, we’re stuck with yet another annoying mysonmysonmyson storyline?  Except instead of endless pouts, we’re left with endless shrieking & hissy fits from The Red Beast.  And this son is forty, and with the grey shit on his mug, looks 50.  How long are they gonna drag this unwatchable shit out?

Yeah, Diane’s hair is bugging me too.  Wonder if the grey is changing her hair texture.  I’m puzzled how the grey is only in one spot at the front.  Is the rest colored?  Well, I give SW kudos for letting any grey come thru.  At this point, Lauren’s & Nikki’s color jobs look nuts!

Sheesh, every time I’m seein’ that pink couch I’m hoping Harrison stains it up with one of Mrs. M’s brownies.  So Pomp promised not to tell Harrison about moving in with Claire until Summer comes back?  OK, so he ain’t ever gonna tell the kid?  Alrighty then.

Maybe Hope could be drafted from Forrester Creations to be the new Marchetti creative head.  Get her away from the man/child crew over there and dump her into a whole new mess of men who don't know what the heck they're doing.  Summer is going to catch the same thing that Cole got, or her plane is going to crash her on some isolated island for the next two years. Or, her commercial flight will have a layover in Newark and never be seen again.

So how are TIIC going to write Dummernjust disappearing to Italy forever when she's been a devoted MYSON mommy all this time? In fact, her entire stick with Pomp is predicated on her always reminding us HARRISONISMYSON! Dare we dream to be on the cusp.of a FREETARA !return?!? (*whispers* please baby Jesus please 🙏)

Meanwhile...

Last December, Summer wore this in black:

Today, Claire wore this in beige:

Given a certain Y&R-related announcement made today*, I'm seeing that reach back for a similar outfit as lowkey savage.

*It's been discussed over in the Media thread.

Didn't Sharinsane wear one of these travesties first?

Speaking of which, did everyone take the ink blot test on Phyllis’ dress? I swear to god I saw a pterodactyl clutching a rabid possum flying through the gates of Hell.

Well, since Y&R and B&B usually run parallel stories and things, I'm thinking that Cole's story line is the alternate universe story line of Liam's. I think the Y&R MWTs go through the trash at B&B at night and salvage all of their coffee stained ripped up pages of veto'd script ideas and odd notes on post-its. And banana peels.

I was thinking she might kidnap "her son" to get Clomp's attention and break them up.
