peach September 11, 2015 Share September 11, 2015 Okay, so I'm getting sucked back in. Eek. Seems like nothing happened for a very long time then I missed the new developments. I'm half watching, half FFing, the last couple weeks, so I realize I missed THE BIG REVEAL of Adam to Chelsea. Can anyone give me a date on that, so I can watch it online? I see we have TWO new 40yo miracle moms, and Hilary I guess left to have a real baby? Did Neil kill her or lock her up someplace? Is the actress coming back? Did they ever reveal The Killer? Does it even matter? I see corporate contracts and positions are as dumb as ever. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4872-explain-it-to-me-like-im-lily-recaps-for-the-disenchanted/page/45/#findComment-1497455

photo fox September 11, 2015 Share September 11, 2015 Hey, peach! It looks like the Adam reveal was July 13th, or thereabouts. MM is on maternity leave, as she did indeed have a real baby. She and Devon went on their honeymoon to an island called the Fat Virgin (in Spanish, I'm not making this up) and she fell off a cliff, or was pushed off a cliff, possibly by Neil. He secretly "rescued" her and brought her back to GC, where he's keeping her sedated in the house he once bought for her. Devon is currently being blamed for her disappearance. The actress isn't taking a long maternity leave, so I expect her to wake up soon. The cabin killer turned out to be Hot Cop, who was in league with Marco. I'll leave it there, but I can give more details if you actually care. It was just as dumb and nonsensical as you can imagine. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4872-explain-it-to-me-like-im-lily-recaps-for-the-disenchanted/page/45/#findComment-1497556

And I was hasty in my questioning because Neil told me all about what happened after I asked. lol And Kay Chancellor is still God, and dang, how many letters did she write before dying? FF. And Adam's in league with, dun dun dun, Ian Ward! So that was "exciting." Guess I'll plow through this week to get up to date. I couldn't access the episode where Adam revealed himself to Chelsea, but I saw a montage sort of clip. Which also brought to my attention that Avery went nutso and had Joe at gunpoint for some reason? Is she gone now?? That disappoints me, because the main value in having Dylan with Sharon was how much it would irritate Avery. I'm also disappointed that Faith doesn't hate Sage anymore.

The stories were pretty enthralling at the end of MAB and new regime compared to now. Lord I and many criticized it but its pretty shitty compared to even 4 or 5 years ago in my book. I missed the whole hey day of y&r (80's & 90's) waaaa but saw some of the teen scene shit and big moments since I was a soap fanatic and would tune in when I could. They really need to rehab and revamp the show. JMHO of course. Also my comment about y&r being popular with pro athletes was since around that time I committed to being a y&r junkie I would watch at a gym that had a few pros pop in for a set and they'd always comment on Victor or ask for the scoop on Sharon and Phyllis when they'd see me watching. Also some of my neighbors are Bears and made comments off hand joking about catching up on y&r.

I'm their age, I got married the same year as Shick, lol. So I really enjoyed that, and could ignore previous Nick douchery for old times sake. And reintroducing Phyllis. I never liked Michelle Stafford, so I was interested in all of that. But holy crap, did they take all of that great sentimental good will value and shit all over it. I took a break from all the recapping which was really taking a lot of time, and I'm not good at making them short because there are just so many nitpicks it's hard to choose only a few. lol. I cannot bring myself to watch this IDIOTIC storyline of Sharon in Fairview. I don't know how she gets up and goes into work every day, I really don't. And it's the same shit different day in terms of all the "plots." DANGER AT THE GALA. Unconvincing baby switching. Christine being a shrew.

We were behind the scenes at the big Jabot fashion show, which was supposed to become an annual event, but nobody's been running the fashion division for a very long time. Neil was kissing Hilary for the first time. Leslie had returned as Mrs. Dr. Barton Shelby. Chloe was going off the rails. Kelly was still a tall, sad kindergarten teacher for two more days, and Stitch was still a doctor. Shick was picking up steam. Fake Cassie was still running loose. Abby and Tyler were boringly engaged. Phyllis was asleep. Adam was a hand. Austin was just a guy with dimples and tall hair, and didn't have a name yet. Avery was torturing us with that stupid cooking show. Ian Ward was back to cause mayhem after his mistrial . Nikki was drinking. Billy was small and scrappy and whiny. Summer was whining about something. ETA: SHARON HAD A SEKRIT! And VICTOR WAS GOING TO DESTROY HER! In 2015, Sharon has a murder secret, and Victor is trying to destroy, well, everyone. I was going back reading a few things for a laugh, and came upon this statement. Now it's November and SHARON HAS A SEKRIT pregnancy that isn't even real and that she may or may not know about, I can't even understand the postings about the dead/missing/stolen baby time jump fake belly situation.

I would never bother to try to catch up with the show. Just came across this thread since I'm trying to start slowly, and remembered that you came back. I missed those recaps when I was reading, and looks like I'm still gonna be missing them. Still drinking but have added a little more interest to my life, so this re-introduction will be slow.
