They always do this with the return of offscreen kids that have been living with the other parent who suddenly is revealed to be not a great parent and/or too preoccupied with their other kids and second spouse. Especially dad's who take kids away from their mothers when if it's the shoe on the other foot, moms can leave town with their kids with the dads left to just deal with it (See Sofia and Moses and Neil). The one way that makes it a 'no fault' return of a kid is if the custodial parent is ill and thinks it's best the child not be burdened with that and have proper attention paid to them by the non-custodial parent. On AMC Bianca wanted to be with Travis and he was all too happy to oblige, but when they wanted to bring her back suddenly life was hell with Travis and Barbara and Bianca had an eating disorder that only Erica could help her with and so Erica was finally restored as mother (and got early release from prison!) only after they trashed (and then killed ::sob::) Travis. JT's character was always going to have to fight the stigma of being a dad who 'took a child away from it's mother' and it was always going to be used when they needed to bring Reed back. That or JT was going to kick the bucket. I really thought it was progressive that JT was acknowledged as the primary caretaker parent and for once Victor's machinations didn't result in a bought win for the Newmans. Not saying Victoria isn't a good mom or that it was right that she lost custody of Reed, but she really wasn't any more stable in her life or more loving than JT and given the circumstances I can see how Reed would benefit with staying with Mac and JT over Billy and Victoria. Especially considering all the crap Billy and Victoria had been though. Can you imagine poor Reed being witness to all the crap Victor did to Billy, the immediate impact of loss of Delia, Billy moving in and out of the house? 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2874927

I guess Reed felt isolated in DC. All of their family were in GC. That is all the issue with writing characters away but then keeping one active like Reed. When big things happened like Delia and Katherine dying and only Reed showed up... that is a bad look. I dislike them writing JT to look bad but he looked bad on his way out so this just continuing it. It is lazy writing because they don't want to bother explaining things since JT and Mackenzie aren't making cameos anytime soon. They off to Poland without a care like they did with DC.

boes January 4, 2017 Share January 4, 2017 In normal circumstances, I'd be cheering Reed on for wanting to get away from the charmless and dour Mac. I think it was mostly due to the last actress who played her, but, while Mac was spotless in her virtue, she was so soul-crushingly judgmental, so devoid of any spark of humor and ohmygod so righteous that any child would be crushed under her Miss Gulch goodness. But, to run from Mac's rigid piety straight back into the Hellmouth of Victor and the superannuated spiritual jock itch of the Boy Band Badness of ButtBiscuit, nah, no contest - stay with Mac and JT.

She's the best damn manipulator the show's seen since before Phyllis took a ride on Nick's banana boat. Being the center of a custody battle is nothing new for her, but it doesn't feel nearly as shoehorned in like the Delia scenes did right before she was killed off. On the shallow side, I really dig Victoria's new set. As I type this, I realize it's been a looooooong time since she's had a place of her own, and the bright modern colors made for a nice visual contrast to the longer standing sets (ie, Sharon's cabin, Victor's office, ect) that haven't changed much since the 90s. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2876820

jewel21 January 6, 2017 Share January 6, 2017 This show is boring and nothing is really happening. Devon wakes up and naturally doesn't remember the whole night of the gala. He's madly in love with Hilary and senses tension between her and Lily but Hilary deflects all of his questions and concerns. Lily wants to tell Devon the truth but Stitch warns them all that Devon is still in delicate condition and is not to be upset or stressed so Lily has to bite her tongue. Neil warns Hilary that eventually Devon will know the truth. Jack wants to invest in Fenmore's but Ashley again reminds him that Fenmore's is more than just a store to Lauren. It's her father's legacy, much like Jabot is to the Abbots. Jack goes to speak with Lauren but she turns him down. She wants a silent investor. Gloria, who found out about Fenmore's dire financial situation after spying on Lauren's laptop, had decided she's going to help Lauren out, and she congratulates Lauren on how she handled Jack. However, by the episodes end, Gloria calls up Jack saying she knows how to get him Fenmore's. Vicky is feeling overwhelmed by Reed, who won't return any of her texts and is blaring his music. It also doesn't help that he's bonding with Billy. Reed blows a fuse and Vicky is forced to call on Billy to fix it, much to Reed's satisfaction. Sharon keeps having to convince others that her relationship with Dylan is fine and they are not getting divorced. Nick has feelings for Chelsea and is trying to fight them because he doesn't want to risk their friendship. Gloria is broke thanks to Jeffrey, and wants her old job back at Chelsea 2.0, but Sharon now holds that position. Gloria makes a comment about mental hospitals, and decides to offer Lauren her services after seeing how badly her company is doing. Gloria also doesn't understand why Lauren is keeping this from Michael. And that's all I remember. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2879630

Sort of enjoyed Ravi inheriting Phyllis' office and loving it--he manages humour pretty well. Exit Pollyanna. The attempts, however well-intended and dictated by JT's contract, to recreate Rockabilly, aren't working at all for me. He's doing nothing but waxing stale cliches about raising teenagers.

Lauren finally tells Michael the truth about Fenmore's. He's a tad upset Lauren didn't fill him in sooner but they're okay. Lauren thinks she found an investor. Phyllis and Billy run into each other at Crimson Lights and have a chat. I kind of tuned it all out. Reed is frustrated that Victoria doesn't know him at all and seems to think he's still a little kid who likes snowball fights and hot chocolate. Gloria meets up with Jack and says she thinks Jack would be the best alternative for Fenmore's and she'll try and get Lauren on board in exchange for working at Jabot. Jack makes her no promises.

And indecent exposure is against the law. Sigh. Of other significance, Gloria, for reasons not clear to me cause I half watched, decided to torpedo Lauren's deal with an investor. Of course, said investor seems pretty stupid for plenty of reasons, but that is pretty nasty of Gloria. Is she going to take over for Prick as the character who will rain misery on their family members?

Too many people (and one kitten) around me not doing well and it's stressing me. I don't get Gloria. Her getting Lauren's investor to want to renege, or at least look at all of Lauren's figures before investing, just pissed me off. She found a silent investor, why does Gloria have to ruin that for her because she wants Jack to be the investor? Especially when Jack wants control and ownership of the company. Fuck off, Gloria. Go back inside your box. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2891139

Go back inside your box. Happy to do it, and I figured you would not be focussed on the show today! I am sick so had nothing better to do, but even so, I could barely pay attention. Yeah, Gloria is pissing me off. Instead of supporting her family, she is setting up Lauren to be bought out by Jack, I guess, so she can get a job? This is a lot like the Gloria of tainted face cream storyline. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2891357
miamama January 10, 2017 Share January 10, 2017 I think Gloria's motivation is wanting to be a big player. Lauren will not hire her, she is broke and no one really wants her around. With Jack she gets to play saviour. I do think we are to believe she thinks Jabot would be helpful to Fenmores (she said Lauren won't let Jack help because she's "too proud") rather than that Jack just wants to fuck Lauren over (hence her "you are John Abbott's son" comment). Gloria always had a soft spot for the Abbotts. Being Mrs. John Abbott was the only time she was the high society woman she always wanted to be. I do enjoy seeing writing that attempts to show character motivation, I must say. Even if it doesn't always convince. Sally is treating her audience with respect. It shows. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2891718

Hey, hey, hey!!! It's yogurt, of course. So here come's my rant. I know the new show runner is trying to switch it up so that the characters interact more (which I like), and that the focus is more on family. But, without a reset, this is just insulting. Pricktor assures Drinki that even though he injured his shoulder at the gym, his arms still work for what they are intended, to hold/hug her. BLECH!! Every time I see these Pricktor scenes I have a second reel running in my brain where Prick is cackling over how aggressively Jack is being tortured. Or how he could give any shits about Kelly being murdered by whomever. I seriously loathe this character. I know he has a huge fan base. This is surely why Trump won, if women think this guy is some kind of swoon worthy hero. Just to confirm that Prick is not Prick, he actually has EMPATHY today for Drinki in her worries about Dullen, and offers to help! And then the idiotic scenes with these billionaires unable to hire childcare or handle household issues. IRL, people with money have people who do these things for them. It's an entire industry out there. It might be fun to show that, sort of an Upstairs/Downstairs storyline. Mariah appears to play that role for Sharon, for example, although not totally. But, there is a win in today's CDN ep, and that is pornstache Dylan, who is channelling Jason Morgan. This is a true delight and the only thing worth watching today. UCG. 16 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2893058

Or ectoplasm that Faith has gathered from the trail her beloved Grampire leaves in his wake. Perfect post about Victurd. I agree, he's the absolute worst. He's never going to be a redeemable character for me and he ruins everyone around him, Nikki, most of all. And I resent that. Katherine, in her latter years, was damaged for me, by her caring more for him and his wants than she did her own family. When she didn't give two fucks about what he did to Billy and Victoria on their wedding day - Billy, who had recently been her grandson - I almost disliked her. What was worse, for a while, I disregarded her. In the long run, nobody and nothin' can ruin Katherine Chancellor, but Victor came close. Billy is a pustule, a boil, a pimple on the unwashed backside of Y&R, (at least the Jason Thompson version is). But Victor is a pollutant who infects everything he touches. If he disappeared tomorrow, there's nothing about him, not now or in his history with the show I would miss.

Anna Yolei January 10, 2017 Share January 10, 2017 I'm wholeheartedly with you with Dickolas. I mean, even aside from having the money to get a nanny, he has more family than he can shake a stick at to pitch in, including two adult children who can either watch him or cover him around the bar. And there's the fact that, oh yeah, he's been the father to three infants before.As someone pointed out in the American thread, single parents are doing it on their own ALL THE TIME with a lot fewer resources than he has. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2893278
jewel21 January 11, 2017 Share January 11, 2017 This show is so boring. Look, I like characterization. I like that all the actors are showing their history, and interacting with one another again. But, everyone once in awhile, I need a building to topple over. Victor hurt his arm at the gym. He wants to step away from Newman and focus on his family. Abby wants to run Newman one day. She asks Victor if she can take the lead on some deal. Victor not only says yes, but lets her use his office and sit in his chair. Abby not only seals the deal, but she gets an even better price than they had hoped for. Victor is pleased as punch. Faith had a great time sleeping over at Daddy's house. She wants to build a fort and have Nick make her chocolate chip pancakes but then Christian starts crying and her face falls. When Nick comes down with the baby, Faith is eating cereal. Nick says he'll make her pancakes but she has to leave for school. Nick gets pelted with baby food. Nikki comes over with two potential baby sitters. Nick is at first insulted, but Nikki said she was just hoping to move the process along. Nick likes one and hires her. He then puts her to use right away and runs off to do something. Sharon shows up at the police station and demands to speak to her husband. Christine and Paul try explaining to her that she can't. Sharon doesn't want to hear it and is even more pissed when she finds out Kevin is in on the case. Paul tries to speak with Sharon privately to get her to understand. Sharon goes home and tells Mariah that Dylan is undercover and unreachable. Sharon is going to get Dylan killed at this point. Dylan is undercover and sporting a goatee. He meets up with Alex who turns out to be a woman. She shows him a baggie and asks if he wants to go upstairs. And that's all I can recall. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2894092
PatsyandEddie January 11, 2017 Share January 11, 2017 If Sharon ends up being responsible for Dylan's death, I will stop watching. Last straw and all that. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2894537
NinjaPenguins January 11, 2017 Share January 11, 2017 You know, I don't really need to see a tree with terrible facial hair playing detective. Just tell us that Dylan is going undercover, leave his fate an open-ended mystery if you want him to return, and stop already. I know this is just a soap, but if this is the best it can do with a crime story? Don't even bother. Also, I'm not watching Y&R for cheesy sitcom-level fare where a baboon adopts a human baby and wacky hijinks ensue. Oh noes! The elder human child is jealous! But here comes Grammy with some handy dandy babysitters! Will this Full (of shit) House style plot be resolved with a dose of warm treacle and hugs? I don't give a fuck! Go embrace your gnarled and rotted Newman roots, Abby. 15 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/149/#findComment-2894766
