I heard that Phyllis is back with Nick. Main reason for watching it again 😁


The original Adam Newman was the best. Too bad he got fired.

Okay, I got to get back into Y&R then. And please tell me Michelle Stafford is playing Phyllis. I just can't get behind this other chick.


I think you're referring to the second actor that played Adam (Michael Muhney) not the first (Chris Engen). Engen supposedly left because he was uncomfortable about having to play/pretend to be a gay character and get involved with Rafe (if I remember his name correctly).


I'm curious why Muhney was fired. Personally I thought he looked too old for the age he was supposed to be playing and looked angry all the time lol. I think the first one was the most interesting because of the character development at the time, same with the third (Justin Hartley). Justin is my fav.


Apparently there is now a fourth? If so, no spoilers on how he reappears pls. I want to catch up and figure out how he survived, a gun shot, being burnt to a crisp/drowning, plastic surgery and then being blown to sh*t, but Drusilla is still dangling off a cliff somewhere never to return...

Engan was the better actor

Muhney as Adam ate the show alive. He was fired for allegedly sexually harassing one of his co stars. He says differently. Never believed him nor never liked him

This Flowers in the Attic moment between Cricket and Scott....



Scott needs to let it go. Already. Besides, I thought he was poorly flirting with Lauren just the other "day".


I am still surprised by the friendship between Nikki and Ashley. I get it the hate the new wife, but this really happened?


LOL, Douglas' face when he said "Looking male companionship? You and Ashley are going to pick up men?!" Like dude....



Simmer down ol' boy.


Victor Newman...when a Cap meets and marries a Scorp.

Lol, damn Nikki...the fact that Victor only cares about Ashley going out doesn't seem to be working in your favour.


*finds a warped Oscar award that didn't make it off the assembly line to give to Leanna*


Jessica...trash.

I don't know, they are both creepy for different reasons.


John's is trying to isolate the girl by getting the two people she trust to reveal a secret so he can swoop in. Puppet master creepy.


Scott's just horny. Most people would be repulsed knowing they almost smashed their older sister, so....Perv creepy. It even made that innocent good bye hug feel ick. Hence my comment about Flowers in the Attic. In the novel it's the brother that ends up pushing the issue and so the incest begins.

Lol, I totally forgot about her and this episode just brought up old feelings. The hate is real.

Time has nothing on Michelle Stafford. She’s still super hot and keeping her sizzling chemistry with Nick alive. I am loving their scenes together 🔥


I really liked Phyllis with Ronan too. That storyline was cut short much to my dismay 😤🤧

Jack and David discuss plans regarding getting Jill away from John for good. Will Jack and Leanne be able to keep Victor off of their trail?

The "flirting" between Jill and Michael....



Why does Jill look less than excited to hear Micheal is now single? What agreement does she have with Jack?


....semi bored watching Ashley not try to pick up men then----"how do we know they don't have AIDS?"



*literally chocked on my spring roll* Who the f*ck wrote that line? Lol smh


....and what the hell is a "powder puff? Lol...and "bum rushed"? Jeff and Tom were creepy.


How does Victor go from dry to entertaining so easily?


Looking to forward to when Ashley and Nikki drop drop the bomb on Leanne *dun dun dun*

What the hell did Rex do for a living again? He's always running a calculator and has no office.


Mitchell is not Mission Impossible material. Victor pretty much gave him the NOC list.


Lol, I always laughed at the fact that they tried to make it seem like the Chancellor "mansion" was so big. It's five steps from the door to the living room!


"You want me to stay in Genoa City?"

"Obviously that surprised you?"

I'm almost 100% sure that surprised everyone in the viewing audience WTF? *colour me confused*

Confirmation, John's a decent guy. I respect his self-confidence and faith in his bond with his slag wife.

Jessica's still trash.


WTF they got Nina to sign over her baby? Lol! I'm sure that was interesting.


Lmao with the disguise to go see Jack when a 20 minute phone call would have sufficed. That shake and go kitty kat wig was horrible!! LMAO! 3/5 stars for the unnecessary drama.


Hmph. I wonder if Jill truly heard herself when she was describing Phillip and his attraction to Nina, cause I know I was thinking what Katherine's face was saying....wasn't she also a "strange attraction from the wrong side of the tracks" not too long ago? Like father, like son...like grandson actually too lol.


The Bold and the Beautiful commercials makes me want to watch it.

How the hell does Nina NOT know Phillip has money? He's a god d*mn Chancellor...... even if his father didn't leave him anything, she must know Katherine would.


I missed Douglas, why the hell did they write him out of the show? I'm sure Nikki's ego does as well...


Jesus, Rex is really playing up the "big a** baby" role that some men play when they are sick. "Critical state". Dude. Really? Lol.

And I agree, a "body rub" is a body rub. No getting around that.


Lol @ the lowkey shade. "Someone like you..." lol. Trust, if Nina wasn't so desperate to win Jill's approval she would have simply told her to kiss her a** and tore that sh*t up. "Does Phillip have to sign one too?"



LOL! I almost choked on my tea. She's taking this "Phillip doesn't have anything" a little toooooo literal. At the very least, the man has his name. He'll never be homeless. She has her dimples and a cute smile. Smh...


Curious to see what happens though.

This whole "Jessica deserves all the happiness" is based on what exactly? What the hell has she done to deserve all the back breaking that John is doing? Lol colour me confused....


These old crows manipulating Nina...*fast forward to when Phillip flies off a cliff*... back to eating soda crackers and tin soup for you since you just signed that away. Smh. Even if Nina didn't want Phillip's money, she's still entitled to it if something happens to him. Guess she was too blinded by Jill's assh*le to see that.


Lol @ Rex's bs. I've never heard of a massage helping with a cold. But okay, "a body rub is a body rub" and tug.

"You're going to have to find somebody else..."

"Maybe"



And playing "romantic music" in the background as they discuss it isn't helping...





Won't Take No for An Answer Brad and Dial-A-Lawyer:

"Even if I wanted to, I couldn't give you legal advice...I'd be severely criticized. Possibly even disciplined for that."



Apparently no lawyers were consulted when they decided to write this particular line lol. There is no "possibly disciplined" about it....................................."severely criticized" lol...dude.


I'm not sure why I found that particularly so funny. I'm still giggling.





Probably because it was the weakest argument he could come up with and it was said with soooo much passion. How does a lawyer of all people not know the legal parameters and regulations of his profession? They tried though lol.

I don't know, is Victor just playing naive because I don't remember him being this blind when it comes to reading other people. Everything is:

Nikki: Leanna can't be trusted

Victor: I don't believe you.

Ashley: She is a master manipulator...

Victor: I don't want to hear it.

Nikki: She ask me to pretend that we didn't know each other.

Victor: Pure gossip!

Ashley: She knows my brother Jack quite well. They were involved.

Victor:




I'm also confused as to why Paul feels he needs to tell Cassandra anything at all before he tells his lawyer what's up. It's like he's asking her permission. Also, Cassandra's full of sh*t. If Brittany is Paul's lawyer, she can't say sh*t. Paul's isn't that bright, when did that happen? He's usually one of the smart ones....


Why is it that only Brits can say "Oh my! Look at the time!" and it come off as genuine and when anyone else does, it looks like a clear excuse to bounce?

Jack has a horrible game face. And who puts on a tux and evening gown to chill at home? Rich people be funny. So Leanne seriously couldn't pick up on the fact that the conversation was very one sided, or is Victor usually this lame at home? Then Victor reveals he knows the truth:



LOL. Damn, that was a bit unnerving. Would have had a much bigger impact if the glass he threw actually broke, but they tried. Limited budget and all gotta keep those glasses intact.

And then...Leanna loses her sh*t...



Coincidentally, I had someone fly off the handle on me today in the same manner (minus the glass being thrown). Won't lie, I was giggling inside while keeping a straight face.


And then Douglas, my dude! He was like:



LOL!


"Are you saying there's no hope?"




And the look on Douglas' face when Leanna said she wants to be held:



#DefinitelyAGemMoonMoment


I was pissing myself. This WHOLE moment with Leanna spoke to my Moon cause all of that would totally be me from Jack to Douglas lol!


As an aside, I totally caught a writing error in the convo between Cricket and Nina. Nina never told Cricket she and Jill hugged after she signed the document, so how would she know that (30:50-31:29)? ?This is what happens when you give the boss' daughter too many lines.


Also, Cookie and Lucious are the black Victor and Nikki. For reals.

Funny enough:

Gem Asc

Virgo Sun

Virgo Moon

Leo Merc

Virgo Venus

Gem Mars


I think it's her Merc that clashes with mine. I struggle with Leo Mercs (sq Scorp Merc) regardless of the Sun sign. It's literally like we are talking a different language, hence "you just don't get it".


They also tend to communicate in a way that seems like they are always yelling, which makes me pause. Often. I use to date one that would often use "!" at the end of almost every sentence. I was like, babe, we need to talk about your abuse of exclamation point. Everything can't be a 10 when you communicate.
