If Mal doesn't get that???? ugh. I understand that changing story midway can be a huge nightmare. If they are indeed keeping Pratt (presumably until his contract runs out) because they are so tight for money that they can't buy him out then I accept that big stories can't be altered (such as Victor walking or the timeline of Philly). But this is unwatchable. That said how do you change it? It occurs to me (now that I'm not in a rage blackout) that promos are for the Twitter audience almost exclusively (and Instagram). I don't know how much these are on television these days. So they are playing to their audience with the "hot and sexy" promos. Twitter boasts the biggest "we want hot" viewership. And for Phyllis to keep having sex with Billy (and I gather for story reasons - like Jill catching them -- she has to) she needs to have a reason to be pushed away from Jack. Hence the bullshit about Jack feeling Victor has suffered enough and the whole "Jack and I are on different pages" crap being brought back up. It had all fallen away and they were giggly and in love and nothing about Victor or Marco even came up. Now she's back to running to Billy when Jack lets her down specifically about Marco/Victor. The problem is this is coming on a year now -- of Phyllis BITCHING at this man. It makes her insane and utterly unsympathetic, and makes Jack completely emasculated. I can't watch it. According to spoilers next Friday Phyllis "can't resist Billy" or some such shit. It's never going to end. 9 Link to comment

The only thing that gives me faint hope - very faint, but at least a bit, on Jack's behalf, is that today he was actually allowed to point out to Phyllis that it was SHE who not so long ago told him to put aside the need for vengence, to move on, that she had done so. He was actually allowed to point out an inconsistency that happened instead of Show trying to get us to agree to forget it ever happened, like they're doing now with ButtBiscuit's new reason for buying B & S instead of what we first heard, just a reason to stick to Vic to pay her back for bouncing his flat ass out of whatever that internet security thing was called. Phyllis then responded, saying she HAD felt that way then but felt differently now that it looked like Victor was going to get out. That's not true, we know it's not true, but at least Jack got to point out the inconsistency in Phyllis' behavior for once. It's probably just a one off, won't happen again, but maybe?? 10 Link to comment

miamama August 24, 2016 Share August 24, 2016 (edited) They continue to try to milk this Philly garbage by using Jack and keeping him stupid - it is meaningless without Jack (no drama, no point, no "affair"). Jill has leverage over Phyllis because of "protecting" Jack and Billy's relationship, except Billy has no fucks to give about Jack, nor it is more and more clear daily does Phyllis. So now that Billy will know Jill kept Phyllis chained to the horror that is Jack, what will he do? Will he scream from the rooftops that he LOVES Phyllis? Nope. Because then it's done. I can't wait to see the BS reason they have to keep lying to Jack after this. Edited August 24, 2016 by miamama 6 Link to comment

Anna Yolei August 24, 2016 Share August 24, 2016 I don't any teen couple in the history of Y&R has ever been written to be so immature as Philly and miamama hit on why they suck. Even in stories where TPTB had far more balanced for infidelity stories, we aren't supposed to root for them. Phack was the last really decent cheating story, but even for Nick's audacity to bring her to a family dinner during the affair, he still felt guilt over it. The mistake that was made was trying to make them a legitimate couple after Summer's birth. 6 Link to comment

There was even some stretching and fudging on the dates as to when she supposedly tried mowing over Paulie Tightpants and Cricket, pushing it to '1993 so we could get all the "I'm a changed woman with a family BAAAAAAAAAAW" crapola.

miamama August 26, 2016 Share August 26, 2016 So if Ghost John is appearing Sept. 26 and there is some guest star (whose name I do not recognize) who runs GC Buzz appearing Sept. 27, I'm thinking the affair from hell is outed that week. "Fall previews" have Jack "growing suspicious" so clearly the affair is not revealed (to Jack anyways) in the next couple of weeks (in time for the Sept. 1 episode or shortly thereafter). I cannot fathom how this crap will continue for another month. Jamey Giddens (I think) had revealed (via his "sources") that when MY was hired as EP that the plan was to continue with the scripts Pratt had written -- and this has played out for the most part (with tweaks) since MY has focused on production rather than story. But HOW LONG WILL IT GO ON???????? 6 Link to comment

Just fucking free Jack. Yes, you hit the nail on the head. The show is pushing Villy vs Philly. I assume because that's what has resonated on social media, namely twitter. Nonsensical but there it is. It also goes in line with Billy being the star so he must be in the middle as the prize the women fight for. That has changed some with MY bringing back Travis. Was there any doubt that JFP got rid of him to push that though? As for Jack's story, it was a none triangle with Hilary and Devon. I label it as "none" because Devon didn't factor for Hilary much like Jack doesn't factor Phyllis or Billy. Someone ended that angle but I don't think it's for good. Pratt never gives up on beats he wants to play. He works around them. He might not get Jack and Hilary romantic. But rumors are that Devon and Hilary buy the GC Buzz and that the GC Buzz will be the conduit to expose the affair. So Pratt has found a way to still tell Phyllis versus Hilary over jack without Hilary and Jack being together. I have no doubt that Hilary will be his protector and friend through the all this...as Devon continues to stand on the sidelines holding Hilary's purse with no lines or opinion. How Pratt has written this Philly affair is typical Pratt. He plays the beats he wants to play instead of what common sense dictates. No story is ever even keel or fully fleshed out. He twists them to make whomever he wants to be the star of the story into the star of the story. He writes what matters to him as opposed to what story dictates should matter.

The fantasies are a way to stretch it out without making Philly even more offensive IMO. So if Phyllis doesn't react with disgust to Billy's under the table come ons in the presence of JACK and all the Abbotts, then I got nothing. Where can Jack go after this? They've been so horrible that in real life I think a judge would buy a provocation defence for a double murder. It's Pratt's MO: push characters into heinous behaviour for shock and awe; then pretend it was no big deal. 9 Link to comment

Is that supposed to be even remotely steamy? It all sounds so tawdry and sleazy it makes my flesh crawl. Jack COULD pull out a block and blow them both out through the back of of the dining room wall and no jury would convict him. Hell, even crack DA Christine wouldn't prosecute him. Yeah. No. It's Jack we're talking about. He'd get the needle. Jack would never be able to forgive Billy for this. I don't think he could ever forgive Phyllis after this either. Her affair with Nick was mitigated by the fact that both of them were thrown together because of their children, and a tumultuous aftermath following a tragic and all-too-typical teen calamity. And the fact that Nick wasn't his own fucking BROTHER repeatedly dogging his WIFE like a bitch in heat. Daring to diddle a man's wife under the dining table under his own roof demonstrates a level of contempt so outrageous it it takes the breath away. If Young thinks this is any way sexually a turn on to viewers or is even remotely going to make them - us - sympathetic to their *suffering*, he needs to spend some time in the real world. I don't even begin to understand how PB is okay with this, but any guy who's been able to endure thirty years of EB's insufferable ego is already ready for canonization. 8 Link to comment

The Victoria/Travis scenes were okay, maybe even better than okay, but that's mainly because both characters are more or less okay. Travis, at least so far, projects the image of a good guy with issues, certainly, but also with a sense of humor and some awareness. Victoria annoys me more than not most of the time but with the right pairing or storyline, I can enjoy her. So there's a humanness with these two, even some charm, so their scenes work for me. But all of that is absent with ButtBiscuit and Phyllis. This is the most unpleasant coupling I can remember since Deacon and the dumpster, and the dumpster had more charm than ButtBiscuit does. They're both miserable people, to other people and to each other, so this "great love" crap is inexplicable. ButtBiscuit groping her under the table in HIS BROTHER'S HOUSE sounds about as sleazy as sleazy can be. She's a twitching, scowling mess and he's worse. How do you have a "love story" devour a show when both characters are both utterly miserable human beings and even THEY aren't enjoying it?? 13 Link to comment

Didn't Nick back down from those accusations, though, after he admitted to himself that he felt responsible for Cassie's death? Sharon didn't want Cassie to go out that night because Cassie had been giving a lot of teen 'tude around that time, but Cool Dad Nick convinced Sharon to change her mind. Before she died, Cassie told Nick that she was driving the car. And he never told anyone, because it was easier to blame Daniel. Then, he accepted his guilt without really dealing with it, and felt like Sharon blamed him, even though she really didn't. Daniel was forgiven and they all became friends, which led to Phick... So, yeah, Phick did follow a logical course. The build-up was pretty real.

miamama September 2, 2016 Share September 2, 2016 So next week, Phyllis hides in the closet so that Meanie Jill doesn't catch her talking to Billy at Brash and Sassy (formerly Jabot lab). Phyllis Summers Romalotti Abbott Newman Abbott is hiding in a closet from her lover's mommy. You read that right. And the reason she can't get caught is Jill will tell Jack about her affair, thereby freeing the lovers to be together. And perhaps Billy could stop fucking with his brother for FUN. Nope Phyllis would rather cry, wring her hands, keep Jack trapped with a woman he thinks loves him instead of free to be with a woman who does, hide in closets, and continue to let the pig she wants to fuck torment a good, loving innocent man, who happens to be his brother - to protect their brotherly bond. 14 Link to comment
HeatLifer September 2, 2016 Share September 2, 2016 Yes, that Billy/Jack relationship where Billy taunts Jack to his face needs to continue. Oh, Phyllis. How loving of you! 7 Link to comment

Holy shit. i try to imagine Michelle Stafford pulling this bollocks off, and I truly can't. I imagine she'd storm into Pratt's office and demand to know what kind of drugs he was on when he wrote this. 3 Link to comment

That's the one thing I'm grateful for in this horrid mess...at least we're not being subjected to MS' version of da sexxxxay. My head would wobble like a weeble and it WOULD fall down. 8 Link to comment

Wow. Just wow. Can't even begin to understand how this was allowed out of the writers' room. I can sorta get Phyllis being turned on by crack hooker sex upside a dumpster in the back of dive bar Jimmy's (well yeah, NO I don't really, but...), and it's typical old-style Phylthy, but hiding in a closet from her paramour's mummy isn't. It's sealed. Phyllis suffered irreparable brain damage in that fall down the stairs. How else to explain this little girl behavior. Edited September 3, 2016 by Toomuchsoap 5 Link to comment
PatsyandEddie September 3, 2016 Share September 3, 2016 Old Phyl wouldn't hide,would scream in Jill's face to go ahead and tell Jack but then attempt to kill Jill on her way to the tea spilling. Both Phyls are idiots IMO. 7 Link to comment
NinjaPenguins September 3, 2016 Share September 3, 2016 (edited) This show is turning into Three's Company. What sorts of wacky hijinks will these crazy kids pull next? Phyllis hides under Billy's sperm-soaked bed when Jill charges in; watch Billy cleverly sprawl across the wet spot while his lover tries to subtly operate a can of Febreeze, hoping to eliminate the rancid, nose hair curling stench of Buttbiscuitian depravities. Luckily, Billy's mommy has a cold...but wait! Is that nasal spray on the floor next to the bed? Billy and Phyllis score a hole in one in the ladies locker room of the Genoa City Country Club. Naughty! Jill makes a surprise appearance after Colin begs her for an invite. Phyllis quickly dives into Billy's golf bag while he assures his mother that he wandered into the wrong locker room by accident after a few too many mimosas. As Jill reminds Billy to stay away from his very married lover, Phyllis tries to carefully unsnag her thong from a nine iron without tipping over the whole bag. When Jill launches into a litany of insults against Billy's beloved, Phyllis bites down on a golf tee to prevent a fiery retort and discovers how much she misses having a hard object between her teeth. Pack a huge appetite, viewers, because dinner is served in the Abbott dining room! Those who enjoy lukewarm mozzarella sticks and red snapper will revel in the buttbiscuit buffet elegantly laid out on the table. Unfortunately Jill is lactose intolerant and allergic to fish. It was supposed to be a night of remembering and honoring John, but all Phyllis will remember is the charley horse she endured after folding herself into the hutch. Mom's timing couldn't be worse for Billy, as his biscuits are finally fully cooked and he's forced to siphon the excess batter into a wine glass. Jill notices that everything is not quite right, from the wrinkled tablecloth to the goblet of cloudy milk in front of her son. As the cook sets out the evening meal and the other Abbotts take their seats, Jill warmly advises her little boy to drink his milk. Billy raises the glass to his lips while Jack calls his absent wife's cell phone. From the hutch comes the zany tones of the Munsters theme song. Is the jig up?
