As for The Case of the Missing Mariah Mommy? It's pretty clear now that the MWTs are having Stitch be as mentally ill as Max, and that he's going to steal the baby because he thinks it's the baby that he and scAbby were supposed to have. If they wanna find her they just need to hit up Neal's Boathouse of Bad Behavior...duh, Duh, DUH, D.U.H.

I always thought Stitch was mentally ill, aggravated by Gulf War PTSD. Like his sister Kelly and son Max, it's a favorite Bell Soap trope to have the entire family go batshit crazy one after the other.

I think he just misses being a dad.  Since Mad Max doesn't even recognize him, and apparently the good women of Iowa City haven't found him spongewortly, Stitch has been pining away, roaming the windmills of his mind.  Even Sara Lee cheesecake has apparently lost it's luster.

I said he was gonna be Kidnapping for Kidz the first time he saw Abby and Mariah and now, apparently, he's hotfooting it to Iowa City with Mariah safely stowed in the back of his getaway vee hickle.

They'll never catch him, never!

I expect Stitch never let go of Abby and has been following her exploits, waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of her second bout of Baby Rabies ... Or that's how TIIC are going write this Kidnapping for Kidz story.

Isn't it bad enough that pregnancy is the most hazardous time for a woman in Real Life, but TIIC have to threaten Mariah with potential miscarriage/Caesarian Section at Neil Winters Rehabilitation Boathouse/premature birth by Caillou?

[Chatty Cake]

Catching up now. Why must we listen to Nick praise that idiot Summer? The girl is a moron who has had all her jobs handed to her because of her last name. Someone needs to tell Nick that Summer slept with  old Uncle Billy. Of course he would only be mad  at Billy even though she chased him like a bitch in heat.

Speaking of Uncle Billy, why was he allowed at Harrison’s sip n see?  I would have rather Tara rip him a new one than pretend to be composed but I guess that’s her game.

Isn’t Kyle the best new daddy in the whole world😅

Eww Lily. I could probably tolerate her if her mom could come back. It’s just so stupid that she’s offering Nina, who is the actual writer a job. 

Adam and Chelsea are breaking up for good (supposedly) I bet he hits the sack with Sharon within a week or two. Unless- would they let him hook up with someone new? Maybe Sally or Imani?

With any other male character, you might think so.

But the gravitational pull of the Golden Cooter and of thousand of stans panting in anticipation says, "Well, if I have to wait until next week...oooookay..."

Think maybe Stitch went into the hospital and subbed his jizz for Devon's - that would be some grief for Abby if the babeeee turns out to be a doughboy. Maybe Abby is like EWWW and Mariah ends up raising the little noggie.

Hee.

I don't get what Phyllis was doing there. Didn't she recently cry and wail to Jack how lonely she was with Nick and Summer out of town? Jack agreed to have dinner with her--instead of Sally--and then the next thing we know Phyllis is in Italy. What happened to the dinner with Jack? Have several days passed and we just never got to see the dinner?

Refresh my aging memory, please.  Was Stitch the doctor who took someone else's identity?  Like he wasn't really a doctor but he was a medic or something and took over a dead soldier's name.  The only thing I can remember about him was the showersex with Assley.  =blerg=

Your memory is doing fine.  He did take another another man's name though I think it was a friend of his from home who died in a car crash,  and went to med school under that name.  When his sister Kelly came to town she was always dropping hints that Stitch had a big secret.   I don't remember what his real name was, though.

I wish it was Carl LaFong.

Yeah, that was pathetic. And Sharin was all, I should have found you some other counselor and not interfered and then she's noseying in to Adam since she fell for Chelsea's con. Chelsea really brings out the worst in people.

Both the character and the actress are awful. I hope she doesn't return. But at least we can have a break from Breathy McTalksTooFast.

And honestly, does Sharin think Victor was a bad influence on Noah and Faith?

And ReyRey being fine with Chelsea trying to kill him? And he can't see through her? Paul and his gut wouldn't fall for her crap.

 

[Waldo13]

Yes, sign the merger papers without board approval. It just doesn’t happen that way. 

I trust Chelsea even less than Nostrils to be righteous and true to his word. Wow Chelsea, Conner will help Anita heal?  Nice try Chelsea but no cigar.  Supposedly Chelsea will have a police escort if she goes out or town but that doesn’t give me confidence that Chelsea will somehow circumvent that.  How is Chelsea making amends with Sharon when she is aggravating her about Adam?  Also, how is Chelsea making amends when all she is doing is complaining about Adam and Victor?  Are Sharon and Rey buying the crap Chelsea is selling?  Yes they are. They took the bait hook, line, and sinker.  Apology my ass. Chelsea wants to take Connor away from Adam but Adam wants to share Conner with her.  And again Sharon proves that her degree in psychology came out of a box of Cracker Jax. Sharon can’t distinguish between a normal mind and someone who is trying to act normal. 

Sorry Sally but auburn hair does not go well when wearing purple. 

Victor to the rescue. Victor can smell out rat like behavior because it takes one to know one. Victor is the human version of Ben, the rat, from the movie “Willard”.

But the alternative is that Stitch kidnapped Mariah so he could get Abby and Devon's bio-child? That is beyond weird.

Most importantly though, his kid was responsible for Abby's miscarriage and her inability to have a child. How mean is that, to then steal her child? The anvils were certainly falling when everyone who bumped into Stitch raved about what a great guy he is, so this must be where they are going. Strange.

[Joimiaroxeu]

TMW you realize you're dating a guy about the same age as your mommy. 🙄

Finally they're going to let Harrison go to preschool. Being around grown-ups all the time was not going to be beneficial to his social development. At least kids his age aren't going to be constantly plying him with baked goods.

Victor has some nerve calling somebody devious. It's as if he has no self-awareness at all! 😑

Nikki's earrings looked to me like they belonged on a Christmas tree. There was a lot going on with those things. Meanwhile, when Ashland was schmoozing her so adeptly while she was trying to look skeptical, all I could think was, "Girl, bye. You'd jump on his joystick in a heartbeat if there was no chance anyone else would find out. It wouldn't be first time you've shared a man with your daughter or even your stepdaughter."

Shut up, Kyle. Get it in your hard, bouffanted head: Jack's social life isn't up for your approval. 🤨

How was Chelsea getting around since she was released from the funny farm? Does she have money, or credit cards, or a car? Whatever, I don't know why Chelsea would be seeking sympathy from Rey and Sharon of all people. Clearly she's still not hooked up right.🥴

Vikki and Nikki said Newman-Locke is an historical deal. Hmm. Doesn't a corporate merger that big have to be approved by the feds because of antitrust laws? Such approval would never happen within a matter of days, and the potential merger certainly wouldn't be a secret.

What's Tara up to? Is she trying to kill Ashland by stressing him out or is the illness performance part of the Lockes' con?

Ugh, Sharon talking about mental illness to the guy who at one time injected his eyeballs with botox to make himself temporarily blind. Again, the IMO, main difference between the two of them (and Chelsea) is Adam's psychopathy remains undiagnosed.

Tara conned Sally into capturing the revealing video of Ashland having a bad moment, and she sent a copy of it to herself instead of deleting it. I'm amazed master schemer Sally fell for that ploy. I really think Ashland was in on whatever Tara pulled because there would've been too many coincidences required otherwise.

I think so too. Plus what good is the Kyle/Tararaboomdiay S/L without Kyle there for her to wave little Huffington Post under his nose to guilt him into doing her bidding?

Adam and Victor are not under the NE umbrella. Technically they are operating autonomously but Victor is still Chairman of the NE board. Victoria is still CEO at Victor’s pleasure. As of now, Victor is not against Victoria because he doesn’t know about the merger. Which, as previously mentioned, cannot happen without board approval.  
 

Rey and Michael are buying Chelsea’s crap only because of their bias against Adam.  Sharon is buying Chelsea’s crap because of her guilt of still being in love with Adam no matter what she says.

I think Victor retired from Newman (hah) and bought Cefalexin for him and Adam to run as a separate entity. When Ash steals Newman from Mop (maybe) NM will become NEWMAN.

Well they were pretty loud about it - Abby on websites looing for sperm - going for tests - It would only have taken Stitch keeping in touch with an old buddy at the hospital for gossip about his EX. I know...HIPPA....but this soap doesn't let rules and common sense get in the way of screwball stories. 

 

><><><

BUT I have to call bullshit on the Chelsea taking Connor to visit mom. Adam could have Anita's ass on an Air-ambulance and install her in the penthouse (already complete with Rehab stuff) Come on. I know people with serious broken hips at 86 who were able to come home soon after with pins and what-not

 

[crowsworks]

The writers on this show must be older and of the school of thought "She broke her hip - it could be the end." A lot of medical advances lately. It's not just this show - a night time medical show had a doctor's elderly but sharp mom coming down with Type 2,  He was juggling giant needles - complicated bottles of insulin he all but hid inside a Rubicks cube....forcing the doctor to give up his life and move in with mom. No mention of pens, pumps and auto pods (Too expensive for non doctors but....)

[Waldo13]

I’m starting to believe Ashland and Tara are in a “open marriage” and are playing Olive Oyl and Kyle for all their worth.  Olive is so thirsty for a man’s attention, even her father’s, that Ashland will pull the wool over her eyes and take complete control of NE. Maybe just maybe Tara really wants Kyle and Tara is going along to get along with Ashland. Even an open marriage gets problematic when there is a child not of the husband.

No, the alternative is that Stitch has the same mental illness and/or PTSD he had before, and he thinks this is the baby that he and Abby were meant to have before.

Newman Media.  That's it.  It has all the pizzazz of Sharon and Rey's love life, or a fold out of a naked ButtBiscuit.

I think Tara planned this whole thing, I'm not convinced Ashland had anything to do with it.  Having Sally there as an outside witness, filming the whole thing was an added bonus.  Maybe Tara is going to use an angry and ill Ashland as some sort of leverage against him regarding custody?  ,Alimony?  

Ashland could be faking his illness to gain control of Newman, I don't know.  But his loathing of Tara seems undeniably real.

Yes, this is the confusing part. I thought it was a joint con, but I don't think now that it is. Assland is conning Victoria, and Tara is conning Kyle, and using Harrison and Assland to do it.

I guess the question is, why isn't Assland savvy enough to see how he is being conned by Tara?

As a joint con, Tara gets Sally to film it, Assland shows up and fakes illness, etc. But what is in it for Tara? Other than, Assland takes over Newman and she becomes more wealthy than ever imagined?

[Waldo13]

Once again that ass hat, Nostrils, proves that there’s nothing more important to him than being the eyes and ears of “world”news.  The only person he gives a shit about is Nostrils. Why does Lily put up with his shit and degradation?

Faith and Moses. I think Moses wants more of a relationship but Faith put him in the BFF zone at least for now. But it seams that Nikki is encouraging teenage love for 16 year olds with raging hormones.  Elena seems to be also encouraging the “next step”. They’re 16 year olds for God sake. Call me a prude but I do not want to see 16 year olds making out. I certainly do not want to see them contemplating where and when to loose their virginity.  

Even though Rey is the police escort for Chelsea and Connor, I still have a bad feeling about the situation. Yes Rey your going to drive to avoid large crowds but your still going to have to leave Chelsea and Connor unattended to piss or take a dump.  Conversely are you going to stand outside of the restroom for her to come out?  Is Rey going to sit there and watch Chelsea take care of Anita?  Is Connor going to have to do the same?  And that feeling is growing as Rey once again shows his animosity towards Adam.  I’m betting he’s going to turn his back and let Chelsea run.  Ye of little faith. Leave it to Victor to have that situation covered.  

 

[Sake614]

Rey is just too stupid for words. Telling Michael that he believes chelsea feels genuine remorse and they don’t have to worry about her? Damn, she played Rey and Sharon like a fiddle. Even with Michael telling him to keep an eye on her, he thinks it’ll be fine. Just for that I hope she drugs him and runs off with Connor. He deserves it.

I never thought the day would come when I’d root for victor, but that day is here. At least someone is doing what’s necessary.

I still can’t figure out of Ashland and Tara are in cahoots or of it’s just Tara playing games, trying to destroy him. I kind of hope it’s the latter just because I really do like Ashland and Victoria together but more and more I think they’re both running a con on the fine residents of GC and Victoria is going to rue the day she met him.

Billy, Billy, Billy. I’m so glad you professed your love for Lily and treat her with such respect. It’s very important to have trust in a relationship and it’s refreshing to see such a mature pairing. Only not so much since you had the nerve to tell her that her feelings about cancer have no place in this conversation. Just STFU already. I loved JT when he was on GH as Patrick, and thought he was great when he first showed up as Billy. But more and more, I’ve grown to despise the character, and JT by extension. I don’t think that’s the reaction TIIC were hoping to get.

Faith is (I think) 15 st the most. Why are the adults in her life encouraging her to take the next step with Moses? And vice versa. I think he may be 16 but even so, especially after all she’s been through this year, maybe he should just accept her friendship and see if it eventually leads somewhere else. I get it, it’s summer and there’s no teen scene on this show except the two of them. But I have no desire to see them romantically involved.

at least we were spared Nick and Phyllis today, so I’ll count my blessings for that.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Is convalescent leave for prisoners actually a thing or is this a plot device the MWTs pulled out of their collective hiney?

Rey being Chelsea's police escort is absurd to me. She already tried to kill him once so they're officially going to give her another chance? Or maybe she'll seduce him and make a break for it while he's having an after-coitus snooze. Ehhh.

Lol, Imani left her cracked face all over Society's floor. And Elena was utterly unbothered. Whee!

Can't the video of Ashland's health episode be traced via its metadata? This could come back to bite Sally in a big way and she was just doing shady Tara a favor by recording it.

Aw, Moses got friend-zoned. Poor guy. He's too earnest though. Lighten up, my guy.

That was a nice talk Nikki gave Faith, I thought. Somehow I doubt Faith's mother would've been as sensitive to Faith's romantic apprehensions and been so gently encouraging. Sharon has a way of making everything about herself, unfortunately.

A long car drive is more secure than a direct flight by private jet? Yeah, no. Unless Rey handcuffs Chelsea in the car I'm thinking it'd be trivial for her to grab the steering wheel or something and cause an accident that would give her time to escape.

Heh, Grandpa Snootypants called ImaNi "ImaMi." Wonder if it was a deliberate diss or the actor merely misspoke? Sutton was extra full of himself today, lol. Amanda seems to have his number though.

Yep, Sharon, you should be worried. Either you're never going to see Rey alive again or Chelsea will return to GC knocked up with his first child. 😏

Dylan ran off with baby Conor during a PTSD episode.  I think it was right after he learned that he wasn't Conor's father, and he was having flashbacks to when some girl was killed in the war.  I don't think we've ever heard that Stitch has PTSD, but that doesn't mean anything.  Maybe Stitch is in Ian Ward's cult and is delivering Mariah and Child back to him.

I'm really loving Nikki in her grandmotherly role these days.   MTS seems to enjoy that aspect of playing Nikki and it shows.   If Faith had talked to Sharon, she'd have to wait while Sharon flipped through her copies of Psychiatry Illustrated to find an article that she could share with Faith about how teen dating affects mothers.

Poor Victor.  Someone actually told him NO.  I was waiting for him to start throwing a tantrum and he came pretty close.  It was pretty rich when he told Adam "This is your decision", considering how he got a court order stopping Adam from taking his wife and kid to Paris, back when Adam was taller and blonder and more of a consistent stutterbarker.  Him simply putting a tail on Chelsea and Rey is small potatoes for Victor.

The next time he does have one of his screaming fits, I hope someone utters his real name,  "Rumplestilskin" and he flies out the window, never to be seen again.  

I thought Anita broke her hip in L.A.?  But Chelsea said they were going to her mother in Minnesota.  That's a lot closer to Genoa City, 5 or 6 hours, couple more hours if Anita was working a logging town like Clappers or Ottertail.  I could see that.  Anita in a musical revue up in logging country, maybe doing a rendition of 

Life's not easy in the Great North.

It's got to be the writing, at least I hope it is.  This is the second actor who seems to be locked into playing Dr. Nate Natey Nate Nate Nate as some sort of a not-so-bright moralizer who just eats up praise no matter who it comes from.  This is Elena's chance to dump the chump for good and I can't think of a better way to punish Imani for being such a putz.

So....travel snacks!  What do you think Rey Rey and Chelz are stocking up for on the trip to Minnesota?

I say Funions, for sure, Diet-Rite cola because Rey Rey just strikes me as the kind of guy who always buys off brand because a nickel saved and all that, Chardonnay in a box and Pepperidge Farm Goldfish for the romance.  (That's one thing he wouldn't buy off brand).

For Chelz, I'd say some string cheese, baby carrots and some horse tranquilizer for the first rest stop she makes Rey Rey stop at.  Oh!  And a Glade Plug-In for the car.

Ottertail, Minnesota, here we come!

Rey is too stupid for words. Telling Michael that he believes chelsea feels genuine remorse and they don’t have to worry about her? Damn, she played Rey and Sharon like a fiddle. Even with Michael telling him to keep an eye on her, he thinks it’ll be fine. Just for that I hope she drugs him and runs off with Connor. He deserves it.

That's a given.

In fact, anything that's been attached to GCPD and Michael Baldwin's DA's office for the last year has suffered with TIIC legal beagle absurdity since Paul Williams disappeared.

I never thought the day would come when I’d root for victor, but that day is here. At least someone is doing what’s necessary.

Victor is right to doubt Chelsea's motives; everyone should. If Victor didn't want Chelsea leaving town with Connor, why didn't he fire up the jet and fly Anita to GC for her rehabilitation?

Chelsea, and Rey Rey to monitor her, leaving town to take care of Anita is idiocy.

We see you eyeing each other, Sharon and Atonal. Much mischief will be afoot with this trip.

I still can’t figure out of Ashland and Tara are in cahoots or of it’s just Tara playing games, trying to destroy him. I kind of hope it’s the latter just because I really do like Ashland and Victoria together but more and more I think they’re both running a con on the fine residents of GC and Victoria is going to rue the day she met him.

They're weird. Tara more so, but the Locke-ness Covert Cancer Parade is becoming more suspect with the merger announcement. 

They appear to be at cross-purposes, but their activities and behavior seem cooperative to their individual missions in Genoa City.

Locke-ness recently flew out his oncologist to Genoa City, but TIIC don't show him being examined or discussing the progress of his cancer, and there's no mention of it.

Locke-ness' exhibitions of Cancer discomfort and pain are pretty calculated by my gimlet eye.

Billy, Billy, Billy. I’m so glad you professed your love for Lily and treat her with such respect. It’s very important to have trust in a relationship and it’s refreshing to see such a mature pairing. Only not so much since you had the nerve to tell her that her feelings about cancer have no place in this conversation. Just STFU already. I loved JT when he was on GH as Patrick, and thought he was great when he first showed up as Billy. But more and more, I’ve grown to despise the character, and JT by extension. I don’t think that’s the reaction TIIC were hoping to get.

NotBilly doesn't have any scruples and he's upset that 'journalistic ethics' get in the way of him chipping away at Locke-ness professional stature and crushing Victoria's infatuation. NotBilly is a fool to think any financial offer for Locke Communications would be seriously considered by Locke-ness. NotBilly is like Jacob Marley's Ghost, dragging all his baggage and criminal history behind him ... "the chain he forged in life." 

Coming back to dig dirt on Locke-ness in order to damage Victoria's business prospects, under the deceit of protecting Victoria, is just another angle for NotBilly to play against her. It's tedious to watch Lily agree with the pathetic reporting they can back with facts or witnesses, knowing NotBilly's obsessed with regaining control over Victoria. What is wrong with Lily?

Faith is (I think) 15 st the most. Why are the adults in her life encouraging her to take the next step with Moses? And vice versa. I think he may be 16 but even so, especially after all she’s been through this year, maybe he should just accept her friendship and see if it eventually leads somewhere else. I get it, it’s summer and there’s no teen scene on this show except the two of them. But I have no desire to see them romantically involved.

I don't understand why Nicki would support Faith in a romantic relationship with Moses when she's still in treatment and working on school credit catch up after missing so much of last semester.

I wonder what Moses really expects from Faith. Isn't Moses living with Darvon on a temporary basis, or is it permanent?

at least we were spared Nick and Phyllis today, so I’ll count my blessings for that.

The less of Phyllis Porn Arms out of town boinking the better.

Easy on the horse tranquillizers. You don't want to disqualify Daughter of Sea Biscuit from running at Canterbury Park; she's been in training for so long and has her heart set on racing.

Victor asked Adam if he’d lost his "killer instinct" -- Considering three people have died by Atonal's hand, that question was tone deaf (not surprising coming from Victor) and in poor taste. I expected Atonal to remind Victor he's already exercised a killer's instinct and look where it got him; shackled to his sociopathic father.

I had to laugh when Ashland told Olive Oyl that she earned this through hard work 😳.  I guess nepotism is hard work and than sleeping with Ashland got her the rest of the way. Are we to forget that Ashland didn’t think Olive was worthy of buying part of his empire, but since bodily fluids where exchange, Olive is now capable to run the more vast Ashland Empire.  Give me a break Ashland, NE was a global powerhouse before she took the reins.  If it wasn’t, how did Victor become a billionaire?  Olive just didn’t fuck up something she was handed. I’m pretty sure that Victor has more assets than Ashland because Victor was well diversified while Ashland is basically only a media company. There is no mention that Ashland has a social media network, owns a news paper, nor a cable TV station. That’s where the money is. Finally the board of directors are mentioned as an afterthought but, in the usual corse of business, board approval is required first. But as Jack mentioned, Victor might have set something up where board approval is not required. Now I wait how this was done with bated breath 🤔.  OK, so it was a bylaw of NE. Than it was well played by Olive. 

Is Victor more pissed about the merger or that he was left out of the loop.  I thought that it was possibly being aced out as Chairman or even the board of directors but according to Nikki that’s not the case. It’s being left out of the loop. I guess Victor’s pride outweighs the fact that his life’s work was expanded without him and that he’s richer for Olive’s “work”. 

I’ve given Olive respect for her maneuvering Ashland into the merger but she just lost all my respect with offering Ashland to move in with her. Fuck work, fuck the kids, just to fuck Ashland.  

Nostrils, Ashland is more Olive’s type than you are. Get over it!  Of course Nostrils just happens to be lurking in the park to overhear the conversation.  Now what is he going to do about it?  I’m not a violent person, but Nostril should be kicked in his balls 24/7.

I'd say having TGVN as your father is labor intensive and tedious at the best of times.

"Thank you for being exactly what I needed, at the exact moment that I needed it." Hot damb, now that's a panty-dropping line right there. And he looked her right in the eyes when he said it. Ashland is the smoothest talker since...Brad Carleton back in the day? 😘

Meanwhile, Tara was teeming with bovine excrement, acting all embarrassed with Jack about the video of Ashland having a spell in public. Boy is Jack going to feel like the biggest dupe ever, one day hopefully soon.

So is Tara moving on Jack and lowkey trying to make Kyle jealous? 😐

Victoria was practically swooning as she listened to Ashland singing her praises on the livestream. Oy, no one's lathered her up like that in quite a while.

Why were Adam, Nikki, and Victor each watching the livestream on separate devices? On would think the ranch would have a humongous flat screen TV somewhere. And the same could be said of the Abbott manse, as well as Lily and Billy's condo. Hmm. Do the elites consider TVs déclassé now? 🤔

Aw, Victor's widdle fee-fees are hurt because Victoria pulled off the deal of the decade right under his nose. Too bad, so sad.

Sally, lying to Jack about the Ashland video won't end well. The truth will come out eventually and Tara will take you down with her.

Ehh, Victoria. Now you want to move Ashland into your house with your kids? OMG, if you were getting played any harder you'd need to wear a uniform with a number on the back and have a scoreboard nearby. Calm down, woman. 🙄

Yet again, discussing their dastardly plans out in the open where anyone could overhear them leads to someone getting busted unnecessarily. So was Billy following Tara or Sally?

If Ashland is faking his illness it's going to be hard for him to come back from telling (or at least not denying) such a massive lie publicly. He'd have to undergo a "miraculous" recovery to avoid the bad PR. Whatever, bet now he'll proceed to take over the new merged company and push Victoria and Victor out. They won't see it coming because they think he's wasting away.

But don't worry - when it turns out Locke is a baddie - Billy will puff out his meager chest and gallop to the rescue.

I thought people in recovery were discouraged from getting involved romantically for a while as 'love' can become a replacement addiction.
