[PatsyandEddie]

Best line of today is from Adam as he says , dripping with sarcasm, “ It’s a gift “ smirk 

[Artsda]

Victoria blah blah Adam bad, Adam says she jealous. Nick stops them, says they have bigger issues around them.

Nick says dad wants us to work together at his company.  Sooner or later Adam will implode. 

Lol you realize I can hear you? Adam is the best Newman. If these 3 interact like this it's more fun. There needs to less hate with them. Adam says he's not out to get them, he's not ruining his sons inheritance.  He says if he cures cancer, negotiate world peace they'd still think he's up to something. 

Victoria goes to Victor. She says he sent Adam and Nick to her, how little he considers her instincts.  He points out her instincts sent her to Billy boy, JT, Ashland, and Nate. lol She asks why he even wants her back , he says for your mother and yourself. 

She goes on about Adam more, how Nikki would applaud her for cleaning out her desk instead of wait for Adam to stick knife in his back.  Victor tells back she'd have nothing without him and company. 

She thinks she thinks so little of her. He says without Newman she spins out. Nick shows up, wants to know how bad it got.  She says Victor thinks she lives a empty meaningless life, maybe she'll spin out look out world and storms out while Victor just looks like he doesn't care on his phone.  

Nikki tried breaking out and got caught. Clair injected hee with something . She wants to know why, Claire calls her and family a lot of names that are true. You all worst people, vicious, sanctimonious, disgusting people. Did you think I wouldn't even the score, she'll have her answers soon. Claire messages someone that she got out. 

Jill at Lily's.  Daniel tells her that Tucker is behind Mamie. They have not told Devon yet, they don't want to yet because of his already shaky relationship with his dad. 

Lily wants to tell Devon. She doesn't want to leave him in dark. 

Audra and Tucker she telling him about Kyle backing out. Tucker but shocked knew they were predictable. Tucker says he's disappointed she didn't know it would happen.  Abbot blood is thick as tar.  It's all part of the process they'll hear from Kyle again.  Tucker says Kyle will confess, poor me blah blah, blame Audra and Jack will then send Kyle back as a mole. 

Jill shows up to talk to Tucker. She wants to know what he doing, he says she's nervous because she has a plan. 

Kyle at home still, Diane asks what's wrong. He hopes she'll understand.  She says she won't judge, look who you're talking to.  He tells her I almost sold out dad and Jabot, the entire family to Tucker. Diane asks what he did, he explains the plan exactly like Tucker said. 

And there is more real Diane,  she falls into the trap. Wants Kyle to go back to Audra and bring back info to Jack. Tell Jack it was his plan all along, lie to Jack so that he forgets nonsense with Billy and gives Kyle back job. 

Scenes of everyone alone. Victoria drinking at Jazz club, Nick drinking tea at coffee house, Adam at club, Tucker going upstairs, Nikki imagining Victor but he disappears and a blonde doll is on the bed. Kyle drinking alone and Diane watching from the other room.

Ok so somehow tomorrow’s Y&R showed up in my YouTube feed and at the end Aunt Jordan appeared.

She looks familiar.  I think she played someone named Beth? Barbara? Belinda? on a CBS soap which I think is As the World Turns?

I just read tomorrow's recap. It's Colleen Zenk who played Barbara on As The World Turns for a long time. I watched ATWT until the end, and this surprised me. First time I got surprised by soap in a long time. I didn't see any spoilers. 

[Artsda]

Nate and Mamie with Devon, Lily and Jill. Nate tells them his Newman firing and wants back. He learned about family and wants to come back. Lily wants to know if he wants family or a job since he's unemployed. 

Jill tells him they'll discuss and Mamie/Nate leave.  Mamie so smug I dont like her.   Jill thinks Nate was sincere and willing to give it a chance.  Devon doesn't believe it and wants more info about the Victor story. Lily tells Devon that Tucker and Mamie are in cahoots.  

Nikki wakes up to a tray on the bed with half empty vodka bottle. She realizes the IV bag was vodka that they injected her with.  So she's now off the wagon. 

Aunt Jordan sees Claire looking at herself in the mirror and tells her not the go soft on her now.  Tells her we're so close and waited so long.  It's Colleen Zink ATWTs Barbara Ryan as Aunt Jordan.  Good casting shock Y&R.  

 

 

[Artsda]

Devon confronting Tucker about using Mamies form to make investments in CW.  Devon gives him option of telling truth and he continues to lie.  Devon tells him he's done with him and walks out.

Devon with Lily and Jill. Telling them about Tucker's plan. We need to protect against Tucker.  Devon tells him they have a plan, we don't hear the plan but they agree on it and says it's risky.    Mamie and Nate show up because Devon message them to come. 

They call out Mamie on her relationship with Tucker.  She admits he made investments.  Devon says they want the truth, she says it's always just been about uniting the family under a corporate umbrella.  Devon says they'll talk about bringing back Nate, if she tells them the truth on what Tucker is after.

Kyle doing the plan of Diane's, she's so happy. How Kyle will save Jabot, not Billy or Ashley and he'll be rewarded.  Then Kyle messages Audra.  Kyle and Diane are idiots, so much for caring about Jack and family. They out for themselves. 

Ashley goes to Ashley to help get Devon back with Tucker. Ashley not liking this, tells he mom Devon is a big boy I can't make his decisions.  She won't push him to Tucker. 

Audra messages Tucker that he was right, Kyle is messaging her. He tells her to reel him back in. 

[jewel21]

First off, I don't want to see Chance in a corporate setting. It's annoying. And he's right, he has no experience. It being his 'birthright' doesn't mean he will be good at it. Plus, GC needs at least 1 cop. 

Secondly, I'm digging this Nikki storyline. This is the kind of soapy goodness I crave, not all this corporate crapola which I find boring. 

Lastly, Colleen Zenk, who played Barbara on As The World Turns, looks fabulous. I hadn't seen her in 20 years and it only took me a few seconds to place her. Please let this storyline be good and not bomb like every other storyline on this damn show.

Can you tell me why you like this storyline, because I'm hating it. Am I missing something? Getting Nikki drunk? I think JG is a sick mofo.

Am I interested in a long-lost Newman child? Yes! The family dynamics could be fun if written well. Can that happen with this writer? No! Is Melody Thomas Scott doing a wonderful job? Yes! Am I enjoying watching this dark, gothic story play out? No! Mainlining vodka to an alcoholic - who also has MS! Please, no. And I am usually not squeamish about dark storylines; I don’t know why this one bothers me so much.

P.s. I do love bringing Coleen Zenk onboard.

For me, it's because this is the first storyline that remotely approaches interesting in a long, long time.  Mostly, I guess, because of the unknown factor.  With a show that features Victor Newman as a centerpiece hero, somebody getting Nikki drunk doesn't bother me.  Her MS goes MIA as often as Victor's heart transplant and Jack's addiction does.

But, I'm afraid it's going to be more of the same thing

for the viewers, in the end.

[jewel21]

I like the mystery. Who is this girl? What does she have against Nikki? Who is Aunt Jordan? It's intriguing. It has me invested. Unlike more of the same boring crap with Tucker and Audra and Devon and Lily and Nate and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. 

[Artsda]

Abbott thanksgiving, Ashley wants to invite Tucker to mend things with Devon. Jack's against that doesn't want thanksgiving ruined. 

Kyle with Audra telling her he wants back into the plan. Like he and mother planned. Kyle has recording of Ashley talking about her plan with Devon and plays it to Tucker.  Throwing Ashley plan out the window. 

Victoria trying to call Nikki outside Victor's office.  Then runs into Claire. Claire tells them Nikki has a seizure and gone to the hospital.  Victor says get the jet ready. Victoria says they'll all go and grab Nick on the way.  (Yay Adam is safe!). 

Nikki staring at the vodka. Drinking water.

She goes to pour out the vodka but ends up drinking it. Then drops it and cries for God to help her.  

The family didn't go yet they are at the club waiting on the plane. Victor asking questions to Claire about which hospital etc.. she can't answer and he tells her to go call. 

Kyle still trying to play Tucker. Telling him COO will get information and Tucker wants him to destroy from inside.  Kyle doesnt want it destroyed. Tucker says he needs control of company and to get control he needs it crippled. 

How can he get any control he's not part of Jabot?  Tucker send Kyle leaves and Audra walks him out she says this is what Tucker does best. They'll build the company up stronger. 

Jack telling Ashley that Thanksgiving should mean something. It should be meaningful about family.  Ashley thanks him for keeping the family traditions.  She'll do her Tucker plan at the club. 

Claire calls Aunt Jordan, she said just got back from hospital.  Victor wants to speak to her. Aunt Jordan tells them the doctors are with Nikki, the MS the doctors are aware of and it's working.  They're keeping her overnight.  Victor said they'll be there in few hours, Jordan says those private jets are handy.  Lol then she fakes connection issue when Victor asks for hospital name.  

Diane doesn't want Ashley to sacrifice entire day for Tucker, it means a lot to have her here for Thanksgiving and make it back for dinner.  

Kyle comes home and tells Diane the plan worked out, how he's back in. He's going to give this win to his dad.  

Tucker calls Devon asking to fix it and spend Thanksgiving together. Audra says it's just them they go together to eat burgers. 

Claire still trying to fake get service.  Victor gets a call and says let's go. Nikki is passed out in her room. Door opens and nobody there.  

Someone knocking outside on door calling out for Nikki and Victoria. He got Nikki's text and it's Cole.  Victoria ex-husband Cole.  

[luv2lurk]

As I recall, there are no new episodes in the U.S. Thurs and Fri of Thanksgiving week and Tues (Cdn) will probably be full of turkey dinners. So will be a few days before we learn exactly what Cole, Claire and Jordan are up to.

At this point any story that isn’t someone scheming to take down or take over CW or Newman or Abbot Industries (?) or someone being named the new CEOCOOCFOWTFWC? Like every episode is rinse repeat endless faux business talk. And like literally no romance either. Sure there are some couples, but romance? As scarce as hen’s teeth.

So give me anything else? I’m in

 

[Artsda]

Thanksgiving episode. 

Lily's house has Nate, Mamie, Daniel and Devon having drinks.  Nate happy to be included. 

Society has Lauren and Abby.  Baldwin thanksgiving being held there. Abby saying they're going Lily's for drinks, was then supposed to go ranch but Victor cancelled called saying something with Nikki, which leaves her with more time with Abbots before going to home for dessert with just Devon.  

Abbots has Ashley, Billy and Chelsea, Diane, Tracy, Kyle and Jack. Jack still trying to convince Ashley to stay.

Chelsea having dinner with her mom and son. Billy asks if Adam not joining them to avoid conflict. 

So I guess Adam has nobody to spend Thanksgiving with? Where's his son Christian parked with nanny since Nick gone.

Chloe thankful, Michael and Kevin happy to see each other.  Lauren wants to know what Gloria did in Singapore. 

She tries to shrug it off, Michael says she was guilty as hell, she says it was mistaken identity.  She says they're cruel for asking her to recreate the worse experience of her life. Michael says if she does not tell he will. 

Abby there now, Devon trying to explain to smug Mamie they can't just get over it with Nate.  She still annoying how it's a chart and blah blah family.  How Abbotts are strong because of family. The others want to know about Tucker plan.   Mamie says that it's all about Devon, his plan is about he doesn't think Jill deserve company and Devon rightfully spot.  

Billy doesn't trust Kyle's return as COO.  Doesn't trust he won't hurt company and Jack.  Chelsea interrupt because time for her to go.  

Ashley sees Tucker and Audra and Audra departs.  Ashley wants to help him bridge the gap and make peace, she texted Devon to come make peace.  

Lauren giving thanks especially for Michael.  Kevin thankful for happy kids, health and family healthy moment. Gloria also grateful for Michael.  Michael says to tell them, she has an affair with a diplomat then his wife showed up.  How she was a drama queen meltdown and she went to get her clothes and took 3 pairs of the wife's designer shoes and a cocktail dress on her way out. Lauren doesn't understand how Michael got her off on mistaken identity.  He's that good.  

Mamie says their goal was common. Tucker wanted path for Devon and Lily, she wanted their family together.  She asks them if it would be bad thing to not have Jill as equal partner and having to go through all questions to her.  

Jack waiting on Ashley, speech on how grateful on personal life, this has been challenging year family wise.  Strong individuals we're stronger together as family.  Kyle looking shady during this. 

End of Thanksgiving. 

Preview next week is all Oregon and Nikki.  Her talking to aunt Jordan, Jordan telling the 3 Newman's she poisoned them and will watch them die. 

[Artsda]

Adam at club, sees Nate and asks if he's seen Victoria or Victor. He can't find them, so Adam didn't get the message Abby got about the emergency?  Stupid Victor move not telling the child that actually would look for you while Abby didn't care about emergency and carried on with Thanksgiving. Lol

Tells them she's the sister of Eve Howard. How Victor threw out Eve like nothing, how he needs to make amends. 

Sally says she feels like she's betraying Nick but doesn't make sense, but also betraying herself because she should have regrets about stepping back with him. But she didn't feel like that.  She still has no answers. Adam says his feelings clear. He's longing for her, them.  Hoping she'll feel same.   Omg Adam move on!  He wants to know if chance for them and so far she doesn't know.  He says let's have dinner no expectations and no future talk.

She tells him no walking her to her room because they get in trouble everytime. He walks her to stairs. She kisses him goodbye. 

Nate says he's angry but not stupid to go against Victor.  He's going to move in.  Audra says she has potential opportunities and Nate asks where, she starts making him offer soon once concrete.  She says she likes to surround herself people who will do anything to get what they want.  He tells her he's not ruthless as she thinks.  She tells him to keep telling yourself that.

Tucker says he admires his play.  Tucker says he was in the fence before but wants Nate to join his and Audra's team. He didn't know about Tucker's involvement and he doesn't like his connection to aunt Mamie and Audra.  

Nikki gets phone call, sounds like stripper music on way to meeting.  At the meeting she's talking about nightmares and it wasn't a dream.  Her sobriety is over and she says it wasn't her fault.  She needs to focus on minut, hour etc. At a time. 

Nick and Victor at office.  He asks about Eve Howard, he wants to know what we're dealing with.  He says she tried to kill him. He thinks Claire is con artist.

Jordan in the shady motel in Genoa city, looks like the one everyone always goes to.  

 

[Artsda]

Billy telling Jack and Diane that Tucker is going after Chancellor.  Billy telling Jack that Jill asking him to go there, Jack freaking out if he's going there. Billy tells him no he's in this fight, but has an idea. 

Billy suggests they unite, work with Jill.  Use resources together to fight him.  Jack thinks Jill wants to use this to get him back to Chancellor. He thinks agenda is stop Tucker. Diane thinks this could be a game to him.  

Nate acting like a jerk thinks waste of time just tell him that you're not giving him a chance.  He goes to leave, Devon tells him to sit and listen.  They stupidly  tells him they're giving him another shot.  He suddenly is humbled and thanking them.  Mamie will be so happy he says. Devon wants non compete and non disclosure.  

Nate wants to contribute anywhere he can, he'll be put in development.  Nate still rude and attacking says that Devon going to be watching him waiting for screw up.

Nate and Devon discussing the fire, he's suddenly grateful again for opportunity from Devon. 

Lily says she's fine, he has a launch next week but she promises she's got this. He needs to stay here for launch.  

That's the mat leave departure? A Forrest fire near Maddie's school? A business issue would make more sense or going to visit Maddie because she broke an arm or something and needs help.

You don't lockdown when a fire is coming, you evacuate.  JG is a moron.

So I guess when JG was a kid, at his school, at a fire drill, the children did a duck and cover and hid under their desks and with a bomb drill, they lined up in formation and then marched out, room by room, to the outside, so they could....watch the mushroom cloud??

I think we now have the answer, if we didn't already, of JG's grasp of reality.

Chance should definitely opt out of law enforcement.  Some detective that he can't see the crush Summer has on him.  Then he's so clueless that he disses his girlfriend (for not liking his music) to her.  I'm surprised he can get out of bed without getting lost.

[Artsda]

Audra tells Tucker Kyle thinks he's going frame him for fall. He tells her that entire plan was fake, but he wants Kyle to go back and tell them everything.

Billy says he'll never live up to standard he wants to prove he can top you.  Going to Chancellor gets rid of the rush.  

He'll never move forward at Jabot.  He'll take leap of faith at Chancellor and work with Chance now. Jack says he's running away.  Billy says he's got a woman he adores, children who respects him, he's leaving for himself. He asks him to tell Kyle keep festivities to a minimum, then he and Diane come in. 

Jack tells him Billy is leaving Jabot.  They ask why he said he's to blame.  Diane says Billy decided to remove himself from his trigger.  Kyle about to say it's good and Jack wants a moment alone with Diane.  

Jack tells her he wants to discuss what happens now. Diane says back the way it should be, Kyle gets his position back.  Jack tells her no.

Kyle wants to flip the plan, give him a product then nail for corporate theft. 

He says how Tucker wants steal product then blame family member. Jack actually believes him that how Kyle saved them from a double cross.  

Jack reconsidering giving Kyle CEO role.  Stupid Jack, this fool doesn't deserve anything.

Victoria says they need to make decisions, she knows he's got a life in LA.  He tells her he's not going anywhere.

Mamie bringing Nate to work on his first day.  He asks her if she has more surprises.  Billy shows up and sits in Lily's seat, they want to know his position he says filling in for Lily, co CEO. Nate has comments about that with his Billy left last time and Billy reminds Nate what he did to Devon and Lily too. 

Mamie says work together against Tucker together. After Billy leaves she says she has Jill running scared. Mamie is really annoying.  

Ashley, with Devon and Lily at club. Abby won't forget Tucker did to her. She wants her to promise she won't reunite with Tucker.  

Tucker ssss Devon by the door and wants to drop off toys and if he's going to see them for Christmas Eve. Devon tells him no, won't happen. He wants another chance or Christmas truce, Devon tells him no chance.

Kyle tells Diane about he'll get Co-CEO and they're so happy with themselves.  

Phyllis tells Tucker she won't work with him. 

[jewel21]

So Sharon broke up with Chance for...Nick? The possibility of Nick? 

Man, I really don't want Summer to wind up with Chance. She's too annoying to have nice things. 

[Artsda]

Finally Nick and Adam coexisting without Nick treating him like garbage. Sharon looking into the scene like it was twilight zone was funny then the we don't need luck we have each other. 

Adam and Nick drinking coffee, say it's time to go to Victor, he leaves to go office but instead runs into Sally and have lunch? While Nick spends entire time with Sharon. 

Great seeing the original Cole and Ashley flashbacks and them running into each other. Then Victoria showing up while they spar, old claws back. 

Kyle thinks he can out smart Tucker was so dumb.  He does not get Tucker knew everything. 

 

[jewel21]

Sharon seemed awfully chipper having broken up with Chance. And of course, Summer is already sniffing around and she doesn't even know he's single yet. 

[Artsda]

Hopefully after this presentation and Victor's reaction that Nick can actually treat Adam better.

Nick actually said it's been cool working with Adam?

Tucker not fighting Kyle back makes Ashley the one remembering wrong? So tired of him and this war.

Cole said a lot of "your mother." Victoria will want them playing house soon as Claire released. 

 

[Artsda]

So Sally's purpose is to have breakfast, lunch and dinner at the club and Adam?  She really has no purpose, Adam would have been better off with the family scenes or catching Nikki. 

Nikki drunk at the club she got there how? Lauren isn't helping by lying to Nikki's family, so good she confirmed to Victor. They need her to go to rehab.  

They refuse to tell anyone what's going on but Nate is told? Abby doesn't even know. 

 

 

[jewel21]

I enjoyed Nikki's drunk scenes. MTS does a great job playing Drinkki. 

[Artsda]

Victor is just playing chess on his own while Nikki sleeps it off at the club. Lol. 

Is the sponsor supposed to lie? I thought they are supposed to be someone the alcoholic can trust?  

The "my baby" from Victor every episode needs to stop. 

Claire did well versus Jordan and then the end with Victoria and Cole.  The actress doing great.

Was actually nice to see all the people at the party interacting.  Adam, Billy, Chelsea. Jack and Chelsea, Adam and Jack.  

Abby wanting to say hi to Nick. Maybe Nick should tell her she has a new family member. Lol 

Nice renaming of Sharon Kirsten to Cassidy in honor of Cassie.  Plus all the donations to the charities.  

Nice oh Mariah to go hug Nick when the renaming was announced. 

Could have done without the Phyllis/Christine or Summer and Chance.

Phyllis is just a pathetic lunatic ranting to herself how Christine won't get in-between her and Danny again.  Phyllis can have him is what what Christine should say after all this manipulation that he fell for to Danny.  

If Danny wants that let him have it. He's a blind idiot as much as his son.  Heather loves him again now that he's back at old Daniel, the one Lily fixed.  But when Daniel was at his worst she didn't love him. He also should be making boundaries with Heather and Lucy if he really cares about Lily. 

Lucy is going to parent trap over grilled cheese? 

Sponsor seems like he's not stable himself. The Nikki and Lauren conversation was pretty good. 

Chance and Summer fawning all over him so boring.

Well it appears Christine is setting boundaries with Danny and I'm all here for it. She's not going to start fighting over him, especially when it appears he doesn't know what he wants. Good for you, girl. Put yourself first. Nice to see Nina again.
