A personal bugaboo of mine - the use of "Murder, She Wrote" as a burn that someone is old is sooo tired.  That show hasn't been on in, like, a million years.  And you wish you could solve crimes with as much flair as J. Fletch, Jack!

Didn't someone upthread point out that Judith Chapman had guest starred on MSW? So it was a bit of an inside joke?

Thankfully, it won't be an oops baby at her age.

still, all of the nope on that.

You just had to put that out there....

AW's Rachel Cory and GL's Reva Shayne don't make it a *complete* soap impossibility.

I would never put it past Gloria to will an egg to drop just to make it happen to become relevant in Genoa City and especially the Abbott family again.

I reaaaaaally wish the writers would stop having Billy defend Phyllis to Jack. It completely takes me back to the fact that he's lower than shit and ruins any progress they're making with him as a character. Jack should come first with Billy. How have we not reached this point yet?

It's ridiculous and short-sighted. Billy and Jack need to feud right now to fuel story. And we have to be reminded repeatedly that Jack is acting irrationally where Phyllis is concerned.

Agree. I guess the positive I'll take from it is it continues to seal the door shut on Philly.

Philly plainly isn't on the cards.  I am not sure what is on the cards.  Is it just me or when saddled with lousy dialogue does GT actually seem like only a moderately talented actress (which I do not believe her to be.)  But watching her in the scenes today she just seemed hammy... and if fairness it was all pedestrian, lousy dialogue written to fill pages, not written in the voice of a character.  I loved her when the character dominated storyline but right now she seems inadequate to me... and I have to chalk it up to the cheesy dialogue.

She's very good in intensely emotional scenes. Otherwise I find GT overly self-conscious and meh, a really bad combination. Her alliance with Lauren is forced and it shows -- in the dialogue and in the acting. That they only ever meet over cocktails wearing skin tight cleavage-revealing clothing doesn't help. They just look ridiculous and not at all like legit businesswomen. Show needs to do something with Phyllis and I'm not sure what it is. They fucked up Phack with that silly affair with Billy. Right now she's just floating. She's not actually needed in any stories. Lauren is far more interesting interacting with Gloria or Jill.

agree.  I thought I read some subtext into Sally's early interview(s) that suggested to me she wasn't terribly into the Phyllis character.  This is a mistake.  Well written for, GT is a great actress and engaging performer.  She is floating and pointless at present.  It is a waste, esp. so long as Nick Newman  plays scenes.

I think she's giving the character a rest. Phyllis was in our faces far too much all of last year. I still think Sally intends to pair Phack but they need to have a break to make it believable after Philly. But I'm with Peaches, I would not miss Phyllis if she were gone. I wouldn't notice.

ETA: saw your post after posting mine JayJay. ;)

I would recap but I really wasn't paying much attention. So here's a very brief summary.  All I remember is Jill and Lauren fighting because Jill didn't know about Lauren's financial woes, that she was partnering with Jack, and that her 50% share of Fenmore's was now down to 25%.

Mariah and Hilary are now co-hosts at the GC Buzz and they do a segment together. Mariah has no idea Hilary has a surprise up her sleeve which consists of a clip frozen on screen of Mariah being tripped, and an apology and confession from Hilary. Devon watches in surprise.

Vicky sees the meme of her and is upset and later apologizes to Reed for embarrassing him. Billy got him tickets to a concert in Chicago and Victoria gets to go with him.

As long as Sharon is not a factor in that at *all,* I can live with it. She'd likely be in a triangle along with Chelz, but otherwise....eh. I hope they invest in Lysol for the couch cushions this time.

How old is she supposed to be, anyway? I thought she was supposed to be a bit older than Jack....I mean, Michael is her oldest son an I took him to be early fifties by now.

Obviously to give us vast amounts of pleasure as we savor the sweetness of the eye candy and silky smooth flirt game. Billy is a tall glass of milk and women want to dip their cookies in his cool, refreshing self. He's a dangerous man with a penis in his pocket. And to think this inside out vanilla Charleston Chew is half unwrapped. Ohhhhh baby. 

I might be high.

I watched part of the show today, and am just dropping by to tell you that Glo is going nuclear on Jack.  She did an interview with GC Buzz alleging that she was sexually harassed and intimidated by the CEO of Jabot, Jack Abbott.  Her face is blurred out and she has a cover name, Clarissa.  Not sure what this gets her, but she is going for blood.  The one thing she said that might make Jack happy is that he was insatiable.

Oh, and Buttbiscuit attacks Phyllis in the elevator and kisses her, after his daily fight with Pricktoria.

  • Love 10

butt is such an asshole and if phyl knew most times that he went after her was after prictoria turned him down she would be mortified....or, maybe like with sharon, phyl could phone vikki and tell her not sure what happened but thank you cause when she and butt hooked up in the elevator he was a man in need...

???????????????????????????????????????????????????

Pardon the excessive emojis,  but good grief. I'll reserve judgment until tomorrow to see what Phyllis does, but why are we going down this reactionary rabbit hole AGAIN? Couldn't he have called Bethany at least?

  • Love 4

Well, and I hate to agree with Pricktoria because she is beyond pathetic but this time she had every right to go off on Billy.  A), because he keeps inserting himself into her business when she tells him to butt out (heh), and B) because he shared with Phyl that Reed was back and Vic was having problems dealing with him.  Phyl then decided to offer Vic advice cause she is an expert, and she revealed that Billy confided in her about Vic's business.  

OTOH, Vic does a lot of telling Billy to get lost and butt out, but then she keeps turning to him as well.  Sort of.  If she wants him out of her life other than as kids' Dad, she should act like it.

Sometimes I feel like Vic just wants to test him because he's screwed her over so many times. HE keeps failing. Why would she ever trust him? And if Philly, once again, keep this a secret from Vic and Jack? Might as well bring Pratt back to finish up his epic love story. Once upon a time, two pieces of garbage....

I, for one, am so tired of Victoria and Billy. Just be done with these people and stop trying to make them a couple. They have no chemistry and Victoria is such a twitchy, jerky mess. I can't believe she's the mother of three children and so incompetent in every way. And still looking at people's chests instead of looking them in their eyes!! That makes me nuts every time I see her do that. I don't think she's even a mediocre actress, at best. Just yuck!

Can I take a seat next to you? Because I was off the Villy ship way before BM left. Miller may not have oozed with entitlement and condescension on top of his shitty behavior, but he was still very much a manchild like this ButtBiscuit. 

To quote Doctor McCoy, "It's dead, Jim."

Faith is such a brat. Sharon and everyone lets her get away with too much.

Hate to agree with Victor, but he's right. Why is Vicky willing to go into business with Billy who could end up gambling his shares away when she could buy the whole company. 

And Billy&Phyllis again?

While I totally agree with this, Jill asked her three minions to keep this strictly confidential, and of course Pricktoria couldn't wait to tell Prick.  No doubt he is going to interfere.

And now I INSIST somebody cut the cables on that elevator and send those two dangling ganglions plunging to their liquified ends.

How dare you! They have ROMCOMCOM ~CHEMISTRY~ that surpasses anything we've ever seen before. You will like it and accept it! Erase the storyboards, history, and basic logic. They're gonna be YUGE.

It's sweeps. Sally is doing everything she can. The set up for that kiss was villy angst. I doubt it ever becomes more than that. But I tell you, JT and GT made the most of their little time. 

JT and GT continue to be the definition of forced. And someone needs to tell them they always look angry in their scenes, although I'm sure they're attempting "hot."

Whether it's for sweeps or angst or whatever, it's not something that can be a secret anymore. Jack and Vic need to find out and have reactions (preferably something along the lines of "You're trash, get out of my life") or it's a disservice to those characters. Especially Jack. The Abbotts and Billy continue to be in his face about forgiveness while Billy just sexually harasssed Phyllis AGAIN.

YR and Mal Young must think the general audience is stupid or that we're all Philly fans. It is AMAZING that they are turning a story where a wife had an affair with her brother-in-law into this cutesy romantic comedy. What WAS that today? Were we supposed to be laughing? Aw, look at them banter! They ruined lives but LOOK HOW FUNNY AND CUTE THEY ARE. The chemistry is so ~natural~

Embarassing.

Yep. Just two exes trying to find a way to get along. Wasn't it funny????? RME.

Gina Tognoni turned in some of the worst acting I have ever seen. Ever. She's going to make this pairing rock if it kills her. Nothing like watching an actor force something.

Note to Mal: GT and JT are not funny. Neither has comedic timing or a lightness of performance to pull off funny, particularly when the context is a disgusting destructive affair.

But to feed a gaggle of crazy stans show will twist the show and history into a pretzel. Good to know.

Both her and JT are forcing it. And the writing on top of it is atrocious. So Jack can barely stand hearing Billy's name and is being harassed to just forgive and forget while Philly giggle and makeout and play and are just being "friends." FOH, show. Such a disrespect to the audience, to the history, to other characters and actors. 

But 30 Philly fans on Twitter think it's AMAZEBALLS so I'll let it go!!
