Hi all...just caught up with my taped shows...
I think Genevieve will eventually get back with Jack and they will combine BON & Jabot...Just me but I feel it. They have not closed those doors, especially with her not teaming up with Victor. Could not believe Victor telling Sharon to take Adam back to his mothers farmhouse...what is that all about?
Get rid of Patty, think she is gone for good this time???

Amen, Mary. I hope the evidence points to the perpetrators like the Target sign, and they have a chair just their size waiting. Or at least an open room waiting for him.

LadyBug, I agree. One would think one's own brother would be able to detail a sister's emotional, behavioral problems (especially if he's a PI or detective). But not Paul, and not for sister Patty; writers would clean it up to quickly. So they milk it for months, dragging us along with the story.
That's why I often write in here, "C'mon writers wrap this up."

Just a little update, as I was going into work yesterday I passed "many" police cars, trailers from the state police, and others parked next to a stream with divers suiting up and air boats and another small boat going up and down the stream. They were also in the river I learned later. At the end of the day there was still no sign of Ayla. In Pa , Jersey and another state (N. Carolina ?) billboards are going up with Ayla's photo on them and info. One is across the street from where the Super Bowl is to be played on Sunday.

I still hope and pray for this little one, but pray that either way she is at least found. I want those guilty of this whole nightmare to pay for what they have done.

Paul said of Pattie "she's fooled a lot of people". I think it's Paul she has fooled into thinking she's mentally ill. I don't think a mentally ill person can by choice be coherent, fully functioning and so calulating while working for Genevieve....and conveniently become incoherent when caught by the police. Or it's just the usual really bad writing. I'm sick of the poor Pattie routine, when she has killed and harmed people and SO sick of Paul singing his childhood song to her.

Also really bad, lazy writing...Genvieve buying B of N because she wanted to be independent???!!! As if the only company she could have bought is the one Jack so wanted???!!! I would think that having millions of dollars would be enough to make one feel independent.

Wow...that whole Komen thing changes every minute. I'm getting mental whiplash. In the end...they are just a big money-making scheme. They've sold all kinds of crap just by slapping a pink ribbon on it. Sad.

Well, Adam's now really blind; and Jack's really disabled. Both we can bet are not happy. This is where I maintain Jack keep Genieviere close (and "keep Adam closer") because she might be a help to him. But since he cut her the way he did there's no way Gen will be near him. Too bad.
Oh yeah, and a new reconstituted Phyllis? I hope no one buys that.
Every one have a great weekend.
Hope some good news of sorts comes out of the Ayla story.

va bch - Fri Feb 3 17:38:28 MST 2012

There ya go. As Patty demurely walks off into the cell with her brother and nephew in escort you just know she's going to bop some jailer over the head, or steal her gun and shoot her in the eye. That'll be another beginning of the never ending "Patty Saga" on Y&R.

Then poor Jack. Yeah unlucky in love, but so resentful he can't join with Gen as business partner, then marry her. NO. He's got to cut off all relations because his "precious" was purchased from under him by a manipulating con. Point is, he could've used her to maneuver other deals his way. [By the way - "precious" comes from a term in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy relating to a ring that becomes the first love of whoever possesses it].
Well, because of Jack's decision, Genievieve jumps ship and joins Victor. Too bad.
I guess we all saw this coming huh?

Mary Beth
Not from Stupidville - Mon Jan 30 23:55:49 MST 2012

Poor Jack...so unlucky in love.

Sharon looked so solemn getting annulment papers. But, on the inside she probably felt like she'd dodged a bullet...or dodged the conjugal visit!! Victor tells Sharon that Adam uses people...um...didn't he just use Sharon.

Heard on the news that it was Ayla's blood. Sad...

Good to hear better news of Ayla. If her dad had something to do with...sorry can't say anymore.

On today's show we got some improvement on this Patti/Emily farce. Some bell rang in Paul's head when he heard about "cats". Hmmm. Drawing to a close are we?
Oh yes, and this thanks to, of all people, Deacon.
Ah but the wedding. Wait 'til smilin' Jack lifts the veil, eh?
Poor Geneiveire. She lost her veil and Jack too maybe.

Tonight authorities verified that some of the blood they found in the basement at Ayla's dad's was indeed her blood.

At this point that is all they are letting out.

God Bless this little angel.
Mary
Maine - Sun Jan 29 20:48:36 MST 2012

As you noted, Mary Maine, things could only get worse for the parties involved so releasing any information is to their/his best interest. Like you, I hope this situation is fixed soon.
rcsmiley
va bch - Sun Jan 29 09:57:09 MST 2012

Just a quick Ayla update, yesterday a tv station in Boston revealed that authorities have verified that blood was found in the basement of the home that Ayla was taken from . The police discovered it back around the beginning of the month. They showed the father photos of the "luminous " blood that they discovered and he walked out of the police station.

The authorities are now saying: "The people in that house that night know more than what they are saying".

There was also another vigil held yesterday, balloons were released with prayers printed on cards attached to each, it was held in a park next door to the police station and a reporter for the local paper implored the person who no doubt reads all the news articles and updates who knows exactly what happened to Ayla to turn themselves in during the vigil, because they could be one of the people in the crowd and that things are only going to get worse so they might as well end it now.

Nobody responded to her plea. Ayla's mom and dad as well as other family members did attend and news of the blood being found came out during the gathering.

Things do not look good right now, however we continue to hope and pray that "Ayla Will Be Found".

Missed it today but read yesterday's brief and could really see how the stories are building up. Just hope this Jeffery nonsense doesn't take too long (which I said yesterday). Hope Ayala is found soon, one way or another. Somebody show Myrna to Paul.
Every one have a great weekend.

I will be SO glad when all this Diane stuff is over!!! We still have to endure Paul lamenting about poor Pattie. Why hasn't he kept an eye on her?

I'm so glad Adam won that round. Sick of Victor acting like he's the devil when Victor has done more evil deeds than anyone.

David: With all the suffering and injustice in the world I never waste a speck of sympathy on beautiful, wealthy celebs who "didn't get everything they want". Not Heather, definitely not Demi Moore. What was she thinking marrying a young, gorgeous, famous guy??? She needs to grow up and act her age...49 looks good to me! And...for God's sake...eat something!!!!

Morning rain, but beautiful blue skies and in the 60's. As soon as my little grandson wakes from his nap I'm taking him on a long walk in his stroller, maybe a stop at the playground.

David : I'm with you. This poor Diane tale has gone on much too long. What is it about Myrna no one can tell she's really Patty? Even with that phony cheap veil she has on her, what is it no one by now can tell she's really Patty? Maybe others are afflicted with the 'convenient memory loss' Jeffery has? I mean, getting bonked on the head on the North Shore of Long Island Sound is no light thing, but c'mon folks...don't overplay it. (I used to live in Long Island).
Pro Bowl on Sunday, then next week......

va bch - Thu Jan 26 21:57:38 MST 2012

Jeff knew Kevin at the cabin, but fell overboard in Long Island Sound and hit his head, (he did have quite a gash on the side of this head), but then with his history one has to wonder if he could be faking. Who Knows!!

Ayla is still missing, local paper asked for the transcript of the 911 call the morning the father called to report her as missing, but the police will not let it out as they say that things mentioned on the recording could hinder the case if it was made public.Still praying she is found.
Mary
Maine - Thu Jan 26 19:22:59 MST 2012

David - Patty made the pillows and put them in Diane's room. Why, who cares. She probably gave Decon or Diane the syringe and drug in exchange for breaking her out of the "funny farm". Just a guess. But how they came to know each other, I don't know, or care.

Jeffery knows exactly who everyone is. Convenient memory loss so
Angelo won't get "rid" of him yet again. JMO

David
- Thu Jan 26 13:39:34 MST 2012

Hey, y'all. Having Jeffery included in the cast adds some levity and some humor to the long tales we have on this Y&R. Now his 'twin' on the other hand, Mr. Bardwell, brought some drama since as you said Mary B he was the DA.
But something different is needed here. We have to get some conclusion to these tales, especially the Diane mystery. Don't you all think so?

David the reference to the "pexiglass cleaner" was only a humorous remark on Adam's part that dear Sharon was to marry dear old Vic/dad who might be spending the rest of his life behind glass or bars.Who needs silver or crystal...glass cleaner would do..lol. Why does Deacon have to wear that horrible orange jump suit and be cuffed when Victor and Sharon to have visitors like a revloving door and get to wear baby blue???

Yes, Mary, heaven has a new voice. No one could sing that song but Etta James herself. To me it's her signature number; only Etta's "At Last"
What happened? All of a sudden Nikki's in the arms of Victor again? Sounds like he's vowing to protect her. But I think it's sweet that Victor tries to see that Sharon comes to no harm and declares things will be better when his son is in jail.
I really hope Smilin' Jack lands Gennieve, who I hope doesn't flatten his wallet and more.

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

Oh yeah yeah, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

And I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

Oh yeah yeah, and you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last

Heaven has a new voice in the choir!

fridged in Ohio - Fri Jan 20 12:05:18 MST 2012

Toots , hope the luncheon went well. Sun is out here right now, but it is 18 degrees.

Watched the show, so now it seems that Vic, the government,and Tucker are all working together.

Chelsea has an apartment over Victoria and Billy's garage,but that doesn't mean she just walks through the door of their house anytime she wants. Why isn't there any detectives checking her out, I mean they already know she is devious, she has already lied and tried to say Billy raped her and that she hung out at bars setting men up for the police. Even Paul would at least do some genealogy searching on this one.

Still no word on Ayla, her mother did a lie detector test, but she says because of a medical problem the test couldn't be completed,so it would have to be done at a later date after seeing her physician for medical care,but she says the police were okay with the test as it stands. This whole story gets crazier all the time.

Mary
Maine - Thu Jan 19 12:32:57 MST 2012

Hi all. Daisy Duke as chelsea's mama?? Could be an interesting little sub-plot, for awhile anyway. Yes, Ted Shackleford was so great in his portrayals. But remember how Awful Joan Van Ark was as Gloria? Scary skinny, and poor acting, plus she was totally unblievable as the mother of Michael & Kevin. This Gloria seemed just right, from day one. I wonder if she's fun to work with, or a pain in the wazoo.

Re: Dounton Abbey. I've been a total Anglophile since the day Diana came on the scene as Charles' fiancee. But the day she died was the end of my fascination, and just got re-interested with the clan when Kate Middleton got engaged to William. (Spare me Anything about the lives of Charles and Camilla.)
I've been a reader of 'british cozy-mysteries' for about 20 yrs now.
Love all the quaintness of life in the villages of the Cotwalds, and love the cozy little crimes to be solved. Basically bloodless, nothing to keep one awake at night ;o)

frightfully cold here in Ga. - Wed Jan 18 19:23:18 MST 2012

Happy Monday to all.
Today's show was annoying on many counts. Again, it drags its feet with the stories. Nikki is 'this close' to spilling the beans on her joke marriage to Deacon, but........
We know Shakleford's a good actor by how he portrayed both William and Jeff, almost separately.
Betty White is the most trusted name the advertising world. Voted #1.
So said by Bill Shatner tonight on her b'day celebration.

Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard) is joining Y & R in Feb as Chelsea's mom.

Sorry to say that Ayla is still missing, her mom and some of her relatives are supposedly trying to get lie detector tests set up. It is very sad, you can not go anywhere in the local area and surrounding towns without seeing flyers on windows asking for info on her whereabouts. We all are still praying and many local people have her photo on their facebook pages (including my husband) hoping it might help.

COLD, Frigid, Maine - Mon Jan 16 16:21:24 MST 2012

Paula,Patrick Duffy played Bobby Ewing on Dallas and Stephen Logan on B & B. Ted Shakleford was Gary Ewing (Bobby and JR's brother, Valene's husband) on Dallas and Knot's Landing and he played both William and Jeffery Bardwell on Y & R.
Mary

Jam & Mary Beth - saw 2nd episode of Douton Abby - great, my daghter also told me to watch for it because she loved it too. Hope I can see episode 1 some day...somewhere. But you are correct it is wonderfully done.
I am confused...wasn't Patrick Duffy (Stephen Logan on B&B) Bobby Ewing on Dallas NOT Ted Schakleford (Jeff Bardwell on Y&R)???
I still think there is more to the story with Billy "impregnating" Chelsea...she is in cahoots with her mother on this one, I believe that is who she is talking to one the phone. Some well known actress is supposed to be coming on show as her mother??
Getting tired of the Neumans.....Can't see how Vic can be THAT powerful
Glad to be back watching my shows and checking in on everyone else.
To all...I am volunteering at the Hospice location that tended to my husband before his death, they where wonderful and it does wonders for me to give back a little. I am just in the cafe right now (can't deal with sick people right now) having a full job just taking care of myself.
Thanks for everyones good wishes
Been praying for Ayla (?)any news about finding her?
Paula
ny - Mon Jan 16 08:51:13 MST 2012

I agree it is good to see Ted Shakleford back as Jeffrey Bardwell.He used to be on Knots Landing and as Mary Beth mentioned Dallas as Gary Ewing. He does seem somewhat thinner, and the show only said he was being replaced by another actor for awhile, they never said if he was ill or what. He is the same actor that played on Y & R as William Barwell the district attorney who died of a stroke and then a month later reappeared as Jeffery Bardwell his identical twin. Remember it really surprised Gloria cause William had her and her face cream incident figured out, but died from his stroke and then low and behold Jeffery showed up!!

It is chilly in Maine tonight, it was about 1 degree last time I looked and was below 0 last night. So much for our mild winter.
Mary
Maine - Sun Jan 15 21:36:33 MST 2012

Just briefly, It's good to see good ol' Jeff back again. He and Gloria brought some joviality to Y&R (something we don't see too much of). His character's sly personality was enjoyable.
Well, the NYGiants pulled it off. They won their division title against, of all teams, Green Bay. The Packers lost by a wide score 32-10 I think. Next it's to San Fran.

Is "jeffry" the same actor that played him as twins? (If so, he must have been ill and lost more weight. He looks so gaunt.)

BTW it is very cold in Atlanta too. Been in the 20's overnight and only the high 40's daytime, for 3 days now. Feels like Wisconsin.

As critical as we all may be about the Y&R stories, this one about dandy Deacon looks like its coming to an end soon (hope).

What is it with the phone veil on Patty? Are people so blind and stupid that they can't see who it is? Especially Jack? These writers better wise up. Let's all hope Kevin/Bimbo (N=?) tale gets wrapped up somehow. That's all for now.

o/t Are any of you PBS's "Downton Abbey" junkies, like I am? The 2nd. season started on Sunday, and their will be a total of 7 episodes. I'm also totally infatuated with "Mad Men". It's all about a Madison Avenue Advertising agency, set in the early 60's, and it is so true to that timeframe, in clothing, habits, attitudes, and male chauvanism. I was There, so find it totally fascinating.

Hi gang! How's everyone out there?
Saw some of Y&R today (I know it's not your favorite topic lately).
Looks like the "honeymooners" couple has landed on bad turf. Victoria still has love for Billy, but Billy seems to be the guy that can't keep it in his pants, if you excuse me. The mystery girl from Billy's Myanmar trip wants some green action, it looks like, and if her baby coming proves to be his the 'honeymoon's over and Billyboy's in the middle. Maybe it's a ruse.
Clever Victor doesn't want Michael to stop Adam from buying anything. He wants Adam to fall flat on his face, as the self-appointed CEO. Smart move, if it works. And who was Adam bedding with now?

Y&R -most residents seem to be taking Stooopid Pills. But Nikki plays a believable drunk, and Glo & the Mob Man are amusing. But I can't even stand to look at that @#$% Patty. She keeps coming back like a cat with 9 lives.ow many lives does she have left??)

I've got about 6 N.Y. resolutions and have broke 4 already. But I'm sticking with the plan to bust-up-the-belly fat with Flaxseed oil capsules (Dr. Oz says it really does help. hmmmm.) And am waging a war on my thinning hair with protein powder shakes, scalp massage, and new
'hair boosting' shampoo and some other goo. (I know -I might as well buy snake oil from a traveling saleman -but I gotta try!)

Loki, Paula, clgil77 : Enjoyed reading all your comments, as always. Yes, temps have gotten milder for awhile (it was 63) but we all know that won't last. In that small town I don't know why no one knows what's going on till the see it in a periodical, like "Restless Style", or hear it as gossip days later.
Yes, I agree. Victor knows what he's doing...his proposal to Sharon, which she stupidly accepted (yeah, "Ew.") is trying to get Adam's ire and maybe get Nick to back away from his pursuits (which, btw, I don't think is that bad).
But Billy's assumed fatherhood by his fling mate from Myanmar is sad. Some of you laid the blame on a money grabbing quif or Victor's great plan, but either way it's a shame the "storybook" marriage might fizzle.
Like all of you say, the stories aren't great any more and some just linger too long. And to whoever...yes the guy playing the small time gangster is a real 'hoot'. Later.

Victor's loyal no matter what people: Sharon, Michael, Katherine, and Nikki. Nikki gets mad but loves him. She does not hate him at all, otherwise she would not get so mad. Katherine knows the real Victor. She did not even get mad at him when he kept Billy away. She may not always agree with him, but she knows him.

It is easy for Victoria to blame Victor right now because he is a scapegoat. IF Billy did not sleep with Chelsea why are the two of them so worried? Y did Victoria moan and groan out not sleeping good? I don't think Victor brought Chelsea back, she came back on her own. Victoria knows deep down that Billy slept with this girl... come on its obvious unless she drugged him...which is possible too. Yawn..new stories please.

- Wed Jan 4 00:21:07 MST 2012

While I agree that Victor and Sharon are not a good pairing and the writers are smoking crack, I can hardly see Nick being upset about it too much (in tv land, in real life hell yeah) but Nick is really not in a position to judge since he:

1. Slept with Sharon's best friend more than once
2. Cheated on Sharon with Phyllis when him & Sharon were mourning over
the loss of their daughter Cassie
3. Cheated on Phyllis with Sharon
4. Slept with his Father's wife Diane
5. Slept with Phyllis's sister Avery
6. Slept with Phyllis while she was married to Jack when Jack is considered a father figure...

Hmm what is that cologne you are wearing Nick, "Hypocrisy" by Calvin Kline?

So Nick you really don't have to much to say on this matter while I agree it is sick that he is marrying his grandchildren's mother, Nick you are not above doing the same thing. And you know Jack just cannot wait to instigate by saying how Victor hurts his children..Ok Jack you married Sharon too right? Didn't you? And Nick considers you a father figure???

I am tired of everyone acting as if Victor is the ONLY villain on the show. Jack does it, Phyllis does it, Nick does it, and even Victoria. Hypocrites all of them! Didn't Victoria try to sleep with Brad when he was dating Nikki? Come on yaw. Isn't obvious what Victor is doing? He is trying to push Nikki away by trying to make her mad enough to let him stay in jail. We all know by next week, Nikki is going to help Victor again and risk her life for him. She does not hate him. Nor does his spoiled children.

Billy, we all know this is your baby with Chelsea. Otherwise....Y did you let Victor blackmail you? Something does not add up. Billy YOU left when you messed up, you did not man up and take your responsibility when you caught up in that Lucy scandal and then you hire Phyllis back the woman who is ultimately responsible for your unhappiness. Uggh Victor is the devil, yawn get over it... everything in the world is not this man's fault.

I am a Victor fan, he is who he is. He is not a boy scout...so why does everyone act so shocked when he does something, he always has a motive though and I believe this one one pure and not malicious. Eventually everyone will get it. Micheal probably knows the real reason...

My daughter has been a joy and a blessing, Seana. Her father, not so much. Drinking continues. He did his habitual not paying child support again, and he's still drinking, but two years ago, after almost 40 years, he quit smoking. Now she's old enough to stick up for herself with him, and that she does!

The ChrisTmas eve dinner was a success wish you all could of been here

Rc UTI 's are very common and go undetected until they become life threating .. with Most UTI you have symptoms burning and extreme pain with justa drop of urine with the elderly thosoe feeling go away for some reason.. for all interested you can buy a over the counter medication for UTI's it is called AZO makes you P orange but boy does it take away the back achee or burning you may feel I promise that in less then a day you feel So much better . bought some for my Lady after she was admitted with a UTI and give her 1 dose every 2 weeks just to keep on top of it because of the lack of first warning symptoms..
Re Yawn & repeat.. REALLY!! the Billy and You the Daddy story who didnt see that coming !! the They can never be Happy because we want them to is just aggravating re Billy & Vickki ..
Nikki Nikki Nikki ..... Sobriety in the blink of a Eye without any problems? and she has the nerve to trash Sharron .. amazing..
Deacon is a Pig . So is Phylass Her and Nick AGAIN!!!!! like I said Yawn & REPEAT.. .Victurd another laughable story line who can do anything from jail boy was he Ugly when he was younger no wonder you closed your eyes when you kissed him for sure.. for the writers to constantly repeat these stories tells you its time to put a end to this Once GREAT Soap .. I have returned back to B&B 1/2 hr of my time where the story moves at a fast pace .. sometimes It can see a Bell trait of stupidity with the story but over all So much better . then Y&R .. even Mr P is changing his tune about what is going on he watches every day ....

LaKing so nice to see you back & that you are recovering from your Stroke we share the same B Day ..11/17... I have A Fib and that is what they were concerned about me stroking out meds have made me feel so much better ...
Loki welcome back also . time sure does fly I know I have been coming here for a Long time since 99 Dec.. I remember Marge & Karen In the Woods and Kathy O and Val and Denver and the Toto & her family has anyone heard from any of them? Francis you still out there? ....

Went as high as 63 today but going down the rest of the week, yet sunny till Friday here in Va Bch. Sounds great in Maine too. Sorry to here of story regard little Ayla. Still in my prayers.
Speaking of prayers my mom is back in the hospital. Don't worry, this is good news. While at the Rehab and then at home mom's medicines were off balance with some dosages missing while home (couldn't get refilled) and mom's conversations, loss of appitite, and sleepiness with mumbling and pain were all profiles of a Uterine Tract Infection. This is a condition that was addressed while at the Rehab place and treated with medication of course, yet not told to me if it was irradicated, just that the medication was administered for a week. Ugh! She's being treated with meds for this UTI with lots of rest and good food. Expected stay 2-3 days.

Hi ch-alaking -hope you will be allllll better soon. Hi Rosebud, and all you regular posters. (I'm 'irregular' LOL)
Before I forget - I hope Christmas was Merry, and that we all have a wonderful healthy New Year!
Well I'm glad I peeked in today -so now I know yesterday's shopw is worth a look. I love the dress-up party type scenes.. But Gloria and that MobMan? eeuuu. Oh well, I guess they are running out of men for her huh. Victor and Sharon?? OMG. That will never actually happen, I hope.
I'm happy to hear there's a party scene, because it seems mostly to be scenes between 2 people. Kevin & the Warbler, Sharon & Adam, Nikki & Deacon etc. Lately there's not even a guard at the door of Victor's cell, or a bartender at GloWorms, etc.etc. (There must be a budget-crunch going on at Y&R.)
I almost fell off my perch when Vicki & Billy got the call that they will be getting an adoptive baby very soon. Which makes me wonder - where in the world is little baby Lucy?? She's not mentioned or seen -or did I blink & miss that?
Anyway - my guess is that the adoptive baby will really be the baby born to Billy's Mynamar playmate. And of course, the real mama will turn up in Genoa City to muck up the works. ALL roads lead to Genoa city eventually, don't they?

Waterville Police Department
Today, the Waterville Police are announcing our belief that foul play has occurred in connection with Ayla's disappearance. The case has evolved from the search for a missing child to a criminal investigation. We have determined, after consultation with our investigative partners, that the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit should assume the lead role. Our department will continue to be fully involved. We are very proud of the work our people have done, and we remain committed to finding Ayla and determining what happened on the night she disappeared. Please share this status with your friends, to provide for maximum information and minimal rumors. Thank-you for all your kind thoughts, prayers and support.

The above is the latest press release on Ayla, we continue to pray that she is found.

Rosebud, Ayla is still missing, cars that were taken to be gone over by the police crime lab from the driveway of the father's home where she was staying and taken have now been returned. Nothing else has been reported except 30,000 has been raised by the community and businesses in the area to be given to whoever can give info that leads to the finding of Ayla.

Her mother appeared on the Today show yesterday, flew to NY to be on TV, not a tear shed, yet the only time she came to where her daughter was taken from was the other day when one of the shows (Today or Good Morning America) was there to shoot footage of her putting a stuffed animal on a pile on the lawn of the home from which the girl disappeared from.She says that authorities didn't want her to come, because it would hinder the search, I say if I was the mother I would have been there asap no matter what.

It is snowing , a slow drifting snow globe type.

Toots and others: Thank you all. Yes, mom is home but not to in the condition I'd prefer; she's still weak in the legs, off balance a lot, drugged, forgetful, looking like she drank too much, and behaving like she needs me for everything. Helping mom off the pot is not my idea of the best day. So I wasn' t there when she was done and she fell ("not again!" I said.) Had to call 911 to get mom back up on her feet. That was the first time today. Don't think we had a great day. But mom's home and that's good for both of us.
And yes, Kevin's a dummy. We could all see Sharon and Adam again, and it's cool to see Vicky and Billy again as we wait for the other shoe to drop.

Warm here today, rain tonight, think the snow on the ground will be gone by morning.

As far as the investigation about Ayla, still no signs of her, however community businesses and citizens have come up with $30,000 to be given to the person who gives the info that leads the authorities to her whereabouts. Sad to think that someone wouldn't come out with the info just because it is the "RIGHT" thing to do, but if it brings this case to a close I guess if it works it works.

What little of Y&R I saw today I saw Sharon complain to Adam that she despises how Nick always attempts to have things work his way, even for others like her. And I said, "Well, sweetie, he's a Newman; What do you expect?"
Meanwhile poor Kevin is babysitting that bimbo (N=?) all the while her frantic and angry father is looking for her, while her old boyfriend, Carmine (who we've never seen) is on the chase with guns. Poor Kev.

Loki, good luck on your magazine, it's nice for dreams to come true!Doesn't seem possible that your little one is a teenager!

My oldest daughter will turn 30 next month, she is not looking forward to it! My youngest will be 26 in July. Neither are married, the oldest is a 3rd and 4th grade teacher (third grade one year and the same kids for 4th the next), she is in a long term relationship with a really nice guy. The youngest is going back to college next month, but works for L L Beans (seasonal) and in the home health care field.

Fireman is still working at the department,although he would love to retire, (at this point the insurance is the sticking point). I still work in food services at a local college , going on 11 years. I really enjoy the young people from all over the country and the world.

Snow has stopped and rain is on the way in another day or so. Yesterday Maine had it's accident with the most fatals for the year. Two young brothers in one vehicle and a father and son in another car were killed when the brothers slid on the snowy road into the father and son's vehicle. Both parties were on their way to family Christmas gatherings. It happened in front of Fireman's aunt's home where we go for Thanksgiving every year and the young men were grandchildren of a lady we know.Hug those family members close , one never knows what can change in just seconds.

We're looking for a new place further up the coast. The school system isn't very good here, so I'm looking for her to start high school in a better town. I'm fulfilling my dream of starting my own literary magazine - in the works. Hope to have first issue out by early autumn. It won't make any money ... . Oh well! :)

Soooo moving when the guardian angel told Nikki, "you can call me Mom." And Nikki, breaking down when she realized ... . I may just have to watch it again today.

Ick if Sharon and Victor hook up!

OK, I hope all is well with everyone. May the Babies be found safe and sound. Merry Christmas to all of you. And to those who rarely if ever post here anymore - Joanie; Frances; KITW; Seana, et. al. Just the other day I wore one of Joanie's sweaters. Even though the little one has outgrown hers, I keep it as a keepsake of Joanie.

Snowed last night and into the morning about 4 inches. Because of the snow it has hampered the search for Ayla, but they say the search will continue. There have been so many kind people and businesses stepping forward to help in any way they can. A trash company has paid some of it's employees to go through each dumpster and open each bag. Other restaurants and such have donated, coffee, meals, pizza, etc to keep the volunteers fed. Too bad that it takes such an awful thing to happen to see just how many good people there are in this world.

Those of you with children or grandchildren hug them a little closer and thank God they are safe and with you.

My Christmas wish is for this little girl to be found.

A beautiful day , no snow, can not remember a Dec.like this.

Keep prayers going for Ayla, she has not been located yet, will be missing a week on Friday. I pray this little angel is found alive and well someplace warm, but I fear the worse. The police are now checking garbage dumpsters, draining nearby ponds, flying planes over the area, and many fireman, police, warden service and volunteers are searching in out buildings, lawns, woods, fields, under anything that could hide a little child.

Hey, David: You and I have the same tastes in women, looks like. Yes, the ladies were pretty hot today, including Chloe's clea...sorry ladies.
But Kevin, now he was really trying my patience (well maybe it's just the writers, huh?). This dim bulb attracts winners like "Carmine" who shoots at the both of them in parking garage, all the while Kev is arguing with the bimbo about the importance of his wedding, and I just want to say (and did), "Just get the $#@k in the car and go!" But sure, ol' Kevin's weak minded self lets him get talked out of the marriage by this bim and another chapter begins. Sigh. Broke poor Chloe's heart.

Hello everyone.
Has anyone found out about that lost girl? If she is indeed with her dad that might be a good thing, considering the condition of the mother, Yet prayers should also be expressed for the mom's sobriety; a continued sobriety so that mom and child could be reunited. My hope is that the father is a good guy.
Y&R today was ok. I was thinking today that Deacon has the key to the mystery of Diane's killer. If for certain it's Nikki, she could end up in still and Victor could be back in his big office once again. Maybe that's Victor's plan...to give Adam enough rope to hang himself, so to speak.
Any comments?

Chickenalaking, so nice to see you posting! Sorry to hear of your medical problems, but glad you are feeling better. I hope you continue to post, I have wondered where you were.

Toots, no they have still not located the little girl. As cold as it has been she would not survive being out since Friday and since she lived right in town I think someone would have found her by now. So I fear the worst. It has been revealed that the father had custody since the mom was recovering from substance abuse and that the night she was last seen there were several people at the home. The mother had gone to court the day before the disappearance for custody, so who knows. I am hoping maybe dad knows where she is and is hiding her to keep custody, but he will be in deep do do if that is the case. I can not believe that the mother has not even come to the city where her daughter was last seen, she lives 1 1/2 hours away and has another baby, but I think most moms would have immediately came to search and be close in case they find her.

I hope everyone out there will put a 20 month old little girl named Alya in their prayers tonight, as she was last seen Friday night at 8 pm by her dad when he checked on her. In the morning he reported her as missing. She was in her pjs and had a soft cast on one arm as she had an accident a few weeks ago. Her mom didn't live with them. Residents, police and fire have been out searching for her. Today it was 13 degrees and will be even colder tonight. Right now I am praying that someone took her who will keep her warm and safe.She lives in the town next to us, just a short distance from where I work. I pray that she hasn't been hurt by someone and that if she did wander out on her own that she hasn't met with harm. Thanks

Ladybug : Tch. Now where are those gold stars? Okay, so does that mean Nikki's in the ground and Drunken Diane,in and out of rehab, is now at home sharing the sack with Deacon? Okay, if I follow that right, but that means "Diane" is playing the "in the bag" scenario really good as everyone is buying it royally. But I don't know...something in that formula's missing. What do the rest of you think?

As for the story lines, Mary Beth, the stories are indeed doing better. Characters speaking according to their personalities and stories just moving onward. Yes, MB this is good news.
Now is the Vick gonna get what he really wants? Is it really life in the can or the hopeless needle he really wants, or is he just waiting till the matter with Nikki blows over? He certainly is not moved by personal views.

I've got it...I've figured out the Diane mystery...here goes:
During the time Nikki was missing from rehab Diane had gone there to visit her with a gallon of vodka in her purse. She got her drunk enough to pass out. They got on a plane to...you guessed it...Brazil! They had face transplants each getting the others face. Back to GC to the park where Diane as Nikki kills Nikki as Diane. New Nikki sets everyone else up for the murder and heads back to rehab waiting for it all to blow over so she can come back and be Victor's "love of his life". Never suspecting that she, as Nikki would be captured on tape and become prime suspect. Another grand scheme gone awry! If you follow that...you can put a gold star on your forehead!!!

Mary, thanks a lot. That'll really help.

Today's show was fairly descent. Cain was "speaking" to his sister in the church and wishing she were there (maybe to give him wisdom). But how about his mom? Maybe she's personna non gratis.
Seeing Nikki and Sharon play cards together was a first for this show. Isn't it something how booze and gambling bring out the truth in people sometimes. Sharon seemed to take it well that Nikki railed into her about the "goldigger" she saw in her. I know Sharon's mother was.
How did Nick know to tell Phyllis to "watch out for Ronan". Well, he seems to look like he's got something up his sleeve all the time.
Right now I'm watching Part 2 of "Nutcracker Suite" on PBS. I saw it live in my church one year 20 years ago. I was in tears.

I just read the posts for Th. & F. All very interesting, just so
"on the money", and quite thought-provoking. For instance I got This thought: Maybe they could have Adam get a skull fracture and then loose some of his memories, and also become more complacent.
(I speak from experience! Alot can occur from a crack on the head -
some good, some not so good.) My thoughts on Nikki: I totally agree- enough already with the booze! They need to give her a big fat "AHA" moment which flings her fervently into Yoga, Meditation,
maybe a few months in an ocre mumuu -in a far away Eastern Ashram.
Ta-da. She will return to G.C. with a beatific smile, softly saying a mantra, and making her own "peacefulness potiebt" in her blender.

Y'know, the things that upset me about this show usually amount to logistics. For instance, why, if Nikki has a drinking problem she's supposed to be trying to beat, does the set always seem to have bottles of booze on tables near her? She sees the booze, it seems to 'call her' and before you know it she's pouring a glass. C'mon writers, help her find a way to beat it, huh? And that Deacon...always there with the bottles, it seems, then before you know it, "Daa da tataaa...." Nikki's married to the slime.
Now, it is possible Nikki might've been sloshed to the gills when she clobbered Diane, but "the Deak" might've seen more than that that he's holding over her head. We'll see. But when we do, writers, let's finish this tale and move on. Amen?

clgil77 - Yes, Sharon in this new "venue" for her character is a grand idea. In fact, many characters in Y&R could change their roles in their character maybe for the soap's good. Like Adam, could take his father's role as CEO, "put his feet on the desk" as Billy said today, and start an new life. Deacon could become a legit detective, or investigator, and actually help people in GC. Billy an investor and happy family man with his lovely wife, Victoria. Avery could become a corporate lawyer, leaving the personal lawyer tasks to Michael, while Phyllis her sister just grows to be an old hag (lol?). Well, that's a list of suggestions for Y&R's future. What do you all think?
rcsmiley
va bch - Thu Dec 8 17:54:22 MST 2011

@ RC and ladybug, thanks!
Yes this is getting old. Nikki the lush is starting to get OLD. Deacon is gonna con his way into her life because he needs money to pay off Angelo. So he is gonna worm his way into Nikki's life. Uggh..predictable. Uggh, I hate Deacon he is so slimy! I hope like Diane he is the next one to get it or go back to B&B and bother Amber!

Yawn..Victoria we get it, your father is of the devil! Move on with your life too. Yaw give Victor more power by complaining about him all the time. The funny thing is Victoria is just like Victor that's why she is always at odds with him. Nick is more like Nikki, he always forgives Victor and tries to see the good in him. Katherine also is not too mad at Victor either. The Abbots will use Victoria's hatred of her dad (albeit temporary hatred) to get Beauty of Nature and Victor will be mad at Victoria again. But all of Billy's dirty laundry has not been aired. Where is this girl from Myramar? I read that when she comes into town, it will wreck Billy and Victoria's reunion. Then Victoria will go running back to daddy. Again, yawn. It will only be a matter of time before she forgives him. Heck, if Lexie on Days of Our Lives has a relationship with Stefano who is 12xs worse than Victor..then why can't Victoria. You don't have to agree with him to love him.

Score one for Nick today who told Adam off without the usual sarcastic response from Adam. Adam's face was left on the floor. I guess Nick is more like Victor than we thought.

So Sharon is playing Charlie's Angels right now? She is trying to be a sleuth. I actually like that. I get tired of seeing Sharon cry and play victim. Maybe she will realize she has a knack for detective work and become a cop or private eye. They don't have enough female detectives on soaps.

How disappointing is Y&R...let me count the ways...to add to clgil's list.

Patty/Emily coming back...why??? After all this boring speculation of who killed Diane it will probably be Patty.

Nikki having a drink within hours of coming back from rehab. Why bother going...or even AA. If she can't cope with life then why doesn't she just take residence in the nearest ditch, with a bottle and drink herself into oblivion. They can't possibly think that Nikki drinking is good drama. Maybe to top it off...Victor will get out on bail after having taken the blame for Nikki's supposed crime to come home to her and Deacon in bed.

So boring I'm putting myself to sleep just writing about it....night night....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

clgil77 - I love what you wrote today regarding Y&R and it's writing flaws. Especially the "mob guy from Dumb and Dumber" term you put in (and his "no can sing" daughter he thinks is a 'Beverly Sills'). That Deacon guy pops up in the story somewhere and I say, "What again? Why don't they get rid of this guy. He's a gangster in a nice haircut."

Now as for Billy, I saw somewhere on Twitter that Billy Miller is appearing on some show on the CW network or something. If he is, good for him. He might do better than on Y&R.

Folks, clgil is right. Victor is Victor. He can't be changed, no matter what anyone does or says on this rag. Sorry, its not a rag. But if story lines don't move on, and characters don't move on, it may go the way of even the older, and no longer seen, soaps. Do I get an 'Amen' ?
> Lastly, in agreement with others, Jack Abbot has got to 'hang it up' with this jealous jousting with the Vic. He knows Victor's innocent (hell he probably even knows who the real killer is, since he was attached to Diane at one time). Speaking of murder, CBS, let's wrap up this long tale.

va bch - Wed Dec 7 18:02:11 MST 2011

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, Y&R was voted "Biggest Disappointment of 2011". What do you all think? I have to say the current story lines have me very confused. They are so cliche and its time for a change.

How many times are we going to have a NEWMAN in jail for a crime they did not commit? This is getting old. Victor has confessed to countless crimes in the name of his family. It looks like once again Victoria is going to work for Jabot against her dad. Yawn. Victoria, your dad is your dad this is who he is. If you can't accept it like everyone else move on. Quit going back and forth, but you will need Victor before he needs you. Did you ever stop to think that if Billy never would have left he NEVER would have gotten into the trouble that made him vulnerable to Victor's blackmail. Not agreeing with Victor at all, I hated what he did but it is VICTOR he is not a boy scout like Paul. He is who he is. Billy could have easily have said NO to Victor and went home to Delia, obviously what he did was serious enough to allow Victor to do what he did.

Jack, get over your hatred of Victor. Move on with your life. Its jealousy to me. You want to be as powerful as he is and its bugging you. Jack knows Victor did not kill Dianne.

Can they wrap this murder story up? They have dragged it out as long as they possibly can. REVEAL the real killer already. This has been going on far too long. After a while, nobody will care if they don't already.

Uggh so it looks like they are warping Deacon with this Angelo guy..both need to go somewhere. This mob guy from Dumb & Dumber and the American Idol girl just do not fit.

Y&R you are the #1 soap, please get back to it, you are falling into the same pitfalls of the other soaps...keep it contemporary. NO MORE soap cliches...

The Daniel and Eden pairing is just weird to me. Just throwing the two with the biggest lack of storyline together is just not cool. Daniel is such a whiner.

It appears, though not by today's show, that Victor took the fall for Nikki, since he said she was so soused she couldn't remember anything. But personally I think Phyllis did the deed. I don't remember why I thought that though.
I also wonder how long we're gonna have to hear that screeching owl of a singer that poor Devon is trying to coach. And the little snob thinks she's hot!
Did Daniel the painter, with black paint on his hands, put his hands on his girlfriend's boobs as they made it on the floor?

Toots: Thanks very much. Turns out mom's not coming home manana but is at the rehab still awaiting consideration of Medicare physicians overlooking records to discern mom's status as "home bound" or not. See, the wounds are healed but the body strengths to fascilitate taking care of oneself (eg, get out of bed or chair, walk, use toilet, walk back, etc.) are not yet established. Frankly, I'm simply not comfortable with the idea of mom coming home for those reasons, since I'm not qualified to assist her. Gosh it's exhausting just explaining it.

Happy Monday. Well I guess happy. Mom's getting out of rehab tomorrow. Yes, that's good news. But mom's strength to get out of bed by herself, walk, sit, use the.... well you know, cannot be done w/o professional help. But since Medicare is finished paying for this rehab (she's been there since Oct.) so in a sense the doors are now opened. "Well what about Medicaid?" you might say. No. We're not eligible. So...

I guess we figured some one was going to step up, or be found out, to confess to Diane's demise. Who figured it would be Victor? Yeah, but 'the charitable one' y'know is just taking the fall for: Nikki? Sharon? Phyllis? (nah). As I said once, my money's on Nikki, but, as even Victor pointed out, Nikki was in such a stupor then she couldn't remember it, or why.
What's your guess folks?

Today is Dec. 4 and when I went shopping today there were johnny jump ups blooming in a little garden spot in front of the sidewalk by one of the stores!! No snow here right now temps in the 40's and 50's had a few 60 degree days a week ago. I am not complaining it makes travel nicer, cheaper for many who have to have someone plow their driveway and clear their roofs, and many older individuals can get out and about easier to do their shopping and such without fear of slips and spills not to mention the heating bills are less.

Have a good week.

After I read your mesaje I noticed you saw the usual ploy producers use on this Y&R drab. Yeah, maybe they threw Nikki into the works to keep us watching. Not if this is a long and winding road to "oh yeah, I knew it all along" boredom. I always try to write as if writers are reading this, "C'mon, let's wrap it up already!"
As far as I'm concerned, I have my own usual suspects but for me the jury's out. I really would like to be surprised (if that's possible on this show). I mean, Nikki might have been in a drunken stupor if....wait a minute. Sigh.

Mary, the temps around here averaged about 55 this week, and of course some Virginians consider that COLD. What a laugh. We too would get the 17 inch snow that would melt by sunset or evening. Soon though that may change. I better get a better shovel.

Maybe writers can't find what to do with people. Go figure. Diane is now a psychologist? Cripes, she needs one. Nick tries to convince Phyllis not to write about his old man. Yeah, like that's gonna work. She's a power hungry journalist and she's gonna write what sells (and thinks Nick should do the same). Oh yeah, and wait 'til Tucker gets wind that he's talking to Diane the famous.

Listened to a short interview with Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) where she tried to excuse running over Paul/Chris...claiming Phyllis is a bad driver. The interviewer tried to bring up the Sasha thing but she delayed until time was up. She also said that soaps were on low budget. My response: it shows.

Nikki drinking so soon, Patti back...geez...yes they are using old scripts...saving money on writers.

Holey Moley. WHY OH WHY must we endure Nikki's alcoholic demons again? It's a tired story and I think we wanted Nikki's success at rehab to be the beginning of a new story. Perhaps the writers wanted to drag out the old scripts and use them. I suppose Deacon will return to be her sponsor too. I don't like Deacon, can you tell?
There is some truth to the idea that rehab might take lots of tries and one magic rehab attempt doesn't always work. Let's see there's been three now? When Jack got her dry the first time did she go to rehab, I don't remember. Was that alcholol and pain pills?
OH that Victor. We haven't seen him so mad his head and neck veins pop out.....lets get the sucker real mad.

Neither was I surprised. It stands to reason then, after seeing today's episode, that Victoria was displeased when he confessed he was in town for weeks and didn't tell her; even more when he told her, or when she deduced, her "lovely" father had something to do with it.
Then Kevin blew the lid off the secret brew by telling his sweetie Chloe. Not a good move.

Toots, you're right about Kevin, standing up to The Vic with some testosterone. Of course Victor's compliance to Kevin is what he planned anyway, but it's just cool to see someone bark at Victor for a change. Remember tomorrow's Regis' last day on his show.

JAM...I'm with you, I can't watch Patti!!! Too stupid to bring her back. Can't couples have normal problems...why the face-altered crazies. I thought she was dead but I guess it was the other one. Why isn't Paul keeping track of his sister...he is a detective for Gods sake!!!

I like Nick and Avery together. It's refreshing to have him with someone new instead of back with Sharon or Phyllis.

Sounds like Phyllis's dad was involved in a Bernie Madoff type thing. Still...Avery was just a child and has maybe been in denial...but that doesn't make her evil as Phyllis is implying. Phyllis tried to run over Paul and Christine with her car and did kill Sasha and she's going to call her sister evil for supporting her criminal father?????

Maybe what's needed is a brand new Daytime Silly-Sitcom-Soap. It could center around a 55+ Senior Apartment Building. It could have a steamroom, a large work-out gym, a small hairsalon/mani-pedi salon.

Colorado - Sat Nov 12 09:02:45 MST 2011

I guess I'm the only one who prefers Michael Learned to Jeanne Cooper. I'm sure Jeanne is a lovely person, but her Kay character has such a hard edge and harsh voice. I found it uncomfortable to listen to. No one in my world talks so harshly and if they did I would avoid them. Maybe the acting has started to get more difficult and she was trying too hard. I think a softer, gentler Kay is nicer and a better match for Murphy. I'm glad she's reaching out to Tucker. Hope it doesn't turn into a verbal brawl.

How can Neil be so self-righteous and judgemental after what he has done? And Davonne...geez...why doesn't he give Tucker a break already. I know...I know...drama!

I spent 11-11-11 taking my sweet little granddaughter christmas shopping. She's just getting over the croup so didn't go to pre-kindergarten. She's so much fun!!! She loves Target. When I took her into the Christmas area she said "Grama look at all the beautifulness!"

The city I live in is having a marathon today. It circles my area so I will literally be trapped in my neighborhood from 9 - 3. I may do some shopping on foot. I guess if they can run for 26 miles I can walk two. Actually stroll. It's going to be a beautiful day.

Paula - I'm with you. Michael Learned is NOT a Kate Chancellor type; don't think she has the steely angst for Mrs. Chancellor (I was thinking of a better word for that - guts, balls, cajones. But that'll do.)
You know - Phyllis and Ronan might be just right for each other. They both have that "digging" personality-the kind that digs for facts and gets them.
How about if it really was Patty that knocked off Diane? Anyway, the sooner they wrap this part of y&r the better.

Y&R is crazy, changing partners every day...I DO NOT like Michael Learned as Mrs. Chancellor she will always be sweet Mrs. Walton (on Walton's Mt) does anyone else remember that. Can't put her in Mrs C's shoes...not mean enough.

Phyl may be good for Ronan he seems like he may get close to Nina again one of these days, her (his mom)cutting him off really seemed to effect him.
But let's find out who killed Diane and PLEEASE don't let it be Patty, anyone else think that is what they are leading up to???

Surprising to see Christine back. She looks great.
Speaking of looking great, Nick made a right move in forgiving Avery for "looking in" on Nick and Phyllis. Nick assured her he and Phyll are finished. Oh, and yes, Avery looks great. Nick could always use a lawyer in his corner.
(Oh no, Patty's back!))

Who was behind the mask? Not too sure I remember maleficent woman she was....or her name.

Well, Victor will be Victor and even his family will suffer because of him; despite all his honorable ways to protect his family, people like Victoria now live without the only one she ever really loved(in spite of himself - I mean Billy). It's a shame.

Now that Marcy has had her little boy is she going be absent from Y&R for a while? (Marcy Rylan is "Abbie"). I guess the writers couldn't find a place to put Heather in the story anywhere. So they fired Eden Riegel and wrote Heather out. At least that's the way it looks.

Hi Rosebud...well I think the reason Faith is always held is 1/ she's a child and can't be easily directed. These scenes take longer than they look so she'd have to stand in one place for a particular length of time. Same for talking..she's too young to be told what to say so she could say anthing...binky probably keeps her calm and quiet. 2/ have you noticed that when two people are talking to each other they stand really close to each other...even people who don't like each other. When we talk to someone in the same room we don't stand a foot or less apart. This is so they can get a close up. So it would be hard to get a close up to include say Sharon if Faith were standing knee level.

"Abby" had her baby yesterday...she posted a picture on twitter...really cute little guy.

Speaking of twitter, I follow about 6 Y&R actors and they are all really nice. They usually answer back when you ask them a question. Except Phyllis/Michelle Stafford. I don't think she's acting much cause she has the same harsh personality of her character. She's gotten nasty with people...called them moron, idiot, freak. I don't like her. Her little girl is cute but in the many pictures she posts she never smiles.

Anyway...in the real world here it's going to be a chilly but sunny day. I'll take it gladly cause it could be worse.

Don't forget to change your clocks. I won't tell you which way cause I'm usually wrong.

does anyone know why FAITH
isn't allowed to stand on her own
two feet. it seems someone is always holding her
with that teething ring binkie in her mouth. she never speaks either. phyliss gets her stressfulness out by
ripping ronan's shirt off while she yanks her clothes off.
hillarious. whatever turns her on or off.

I hope Kay isn't leaving.....

Today's show was better. It showed some closing of these some of these stories finally. Today we saw how Eden as Heather is moving off Y&R, as she's been saying for months now, and moving to some other city. Some of you I know are happy. By the way I understand Eden is moving to another TV show on TBS or something (I think that's what I read on Twitter). It was also good to see Sharon cut off ties to Adam and move to her love for Sam and family in AZ. I like what Victor said to his son about what (I think) George Washington said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." , referring of course to Adam himself after Vic hired him.
But Phyllis' rantings seemed incessant, angry at her sister Avery, Nick, and (I think) Adam. Avery has every right to be pissed. What a sense of irony that Nick falls in love with Avery? She's good looking too.

Hi everyone!
LadyBug: 1st - Phyllis is a vindictive b@**#. So it's normal activity for her to dig up any suspect actions by anyone she doesn't like or who is in her way. 2nd - She's in the business of scoping up slimy accounts of people in GC, and thus it is right that Heather is pissed at Phyllis for publishing the photos that cost her her job. Unless the photog confesses his work the real culprit remains unknown. Yes, It was just a kiss, but she kissed a prime suspect in an ongoing case. But I say, Who had to know?

I understand Michael Learned is going to replace Kay temporarily. Any one know why?

What is the big deal with Heather and Adam merely kissing. Geez...in this day and age of sex tapes...the only comment a picture like would get is "ho hum"! Especially since they were once almost engaged. Why would Heather get fired for kissing an old boyfriend. Phyllis is truly evil. She has sex with the chief of police on his desk...yet makes a big deal over a couple kissing!!!

So, SO glad the whole Sharon thing is over.

We are having heavenly weather!!!

Hi everyone.
Hope a lot of you up north get your power restored soon. We all know how loss of electricity can be both a hazard and a nuisance (being from Long Island and Queens, NY). Keep safe you all.

Y&R today gave a good brief summary of the Newman events of recent, by King Victor who explained to son Nick how Sharon was the best thing he had for a marriage, and gave some warning about Phyllis. Possibly he intimated the same for her lawyer sister.
In addition, Heather's recollection of her father's past marriage to her mother brought a sense of foreboding to her brother (long lost I guess) and a sort of disdain for her dad.
What are your observations or opinions?

Boo ! Happy Halloween every one. First of all, this story had a lot big flaws in it. One was .....I thought Kevin was supposed to be the smart one. No, he gives in to Billy, whom he KNOWS he's supposed to keep under wraps, and lets him see his daughter (who thinks of course he's really Santa, at the wrong season no less), then Billy goes in to see (oh no!) Victoria. Of course, the tell-tale kiss you would think would alert Vicky, but she's so drunk it takes awhile to notice. I mean we all knew Billy wanted so much to show himself, and when he finally did he got the bomb when he saw the papers. Oh and that singer was a riot, and loved only by one. (How'd ya like the "tell-tale" phrase. Real 'Poe' of me, huh?)

Hey, if you like photography you might be interested in checking out J Kevin White Photography, I have bought some of his photos and have seen him a some Maine fairs and such. If you click on the different titles such as still life or flowers it will take you to a selection of photos under those titles and if you click on the individual photos it will enlarge them. Most of the photos are in Maine some NH , Ireland, and Canada. All I think are nice.

Paula: Glad to hear you are doing better. Keep it up.
Ladybug: I'm with you. The writers seem to run out of ideas so they just resurrect old ones or old characters. What happened to good ol' creativity?

I made a mistake the other day in saying Nick was apparently hooking up with Genevieve. I was wrong in a big way. I should've said "Avery", the good looking babe that she is. Besides it would be good for Nick to have a lawyer on his side, don't you think?
And yes, it appears Sharon will be free soon. But who would her new beau be? And Adam is cavorting with Avery I think, and that's not good.
Lastly, I agree that Billy ought to just belt Victor and be done with it. Victor's holding charges over Billy that just don't exist.

Wasn't Patty shot...don't remember who did it but how can she possibly still be alive. It's ridiculous when so many characters are brought back to life!!! Lazy writers!! Two things I hate...when someone has surgery to completely change their face...and bringing someone back to life. So Patty has both happen to her!!!

Aside from that...the show is pretty good. Really like Chloe's singing proposal. She has a nice voice.

I think Sharon will be free very soon...that will be good.

Cold, cold, cold here. From high 70's to low 50's in one week. I know how much kids love Halloween so hate for them to have to wear winter coats over their costumes when they go trick or treating.

Never got to see Y&R today but it was nice to hear from you Toots. No, my mom is not home yet. She was sent yesterday to the hospital to get the surgery needed to have the first layer of her own skin placed on the surgery site. This plastic surgery is needed toward the recovery of the initial surgery on October 5. As far as her PT is concerned Mom has a way to go. Besides I wouldn't want her home unless she can get around on her own, has others applying First Aid and helping her in the bathroom. I've already worked the first aid some months ago but with her thin paper-like skin it was difficult changing bandages. That was on her left elbow back then. Had trouble finding the right bandages and wraps.
Sorry to hear the Y&R stories going so slow again. Personally I'm not so glad Patti is back in the tale. Hope Nick and Genevieve hit it off, so long as he gets away from Phyllis.

Toots: Sounds like the idyllic life.
Well, you all, How did you like today's elongated "When is this gonna be over..." story today? It seems this tale has gone on for months now. It was exciting after it started, but "enough already writers. Let's wrap this up."
By the way, as the group was standing about curiously after forced to watch the film prepared for them, two people crossed my mind as palpable suspects: Phyliss and "Abby". Everyone else had reason to murder Diane Jenkins, but I don't think the ones I named had the restraint to withhold their anger. Now if I'm wrong...I'm wrong. It's not a test.
Now the fact that Adam was stuck waiting in the pumpkin patch (anyone see the lyrical symbolism, Linus?) and belonging with the others in the warehouse, makes the storyline more mysterious. But he criticized his finding of the scarecrow by calling out the name "Patty" setting us up for another kink in the tale to come.
What do you all think? (objectively, that is).
Happy week you all.

LadyBug: I heard it said that suicide is a selfish act, either of desperation or deep seated anger. A further example of such an act is releasing the wild animals into a neighborhood that includes elderly and children all because of.....well it doesn't matter now. I just thought that we ought to consider our actions before we carry them out (especially suicide), but how what we do affects those around us, good or bad. Maybe that's why decision making used to be so difficult. Now I just make one and decide to live with the results. (Sigh).

Zoo guy....I have a hard time feeling sorry for him. They say he was deeply in dept and those animals would have cost a fortune to feed. They are very dangerous anyway...but hungry!!!!??? Just the thought of school children waiting for the bus...did he not think of that? He could have called Peta, Humane Society, police...and THEN shot himself. I feel for those suffering from depression, but when someone makes themselves feel better by hurting others...then, not so much!

Some nice moments yesterday. Cane and Lilly was touching. Hope things are calm for them for a bit.

Also was kind of touched with the ladies...Gen, Jill and Glo....a moment of unity before they are at each others throats again.

And...Abby finally growing up a tad and not acting like a spoiled brat.

Glad to see Chance back but not looking forward to Nina's whining when she finds out: WAH WAH WAH WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WAH WAH WAH!

Beautiful, perfect October day! Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!

Hi everyone.
You all probably don't have much to say about today's show since its outcome was pretty much predictable, seeing how the cops and feds showed up at ?? house to explain the situation to Lily, Cane, Genevieve, and Jill. It was surprising though that Jill had Colin handcuffed to the bed, not for sexual adventure, but for his awaiting arrest. Further, that Ethan had confessed to Lily his Fed involvement since they met was real surprising (I know I called him "Cane" previously here, but I really think he's "Ethan", since that's what his mother called him weeks ago - what's your opinion and why).
Gloria seemed quite shaken. Maybe the Feds will get on Jeff's case soon.

va bch > nice weather here - Fri Oct 21 16:02:01 MDT 2011

Toots - I am sorry for the man who took his own life. It is always a sad conclusion to depression or despairing of life. But I was being facetious in a brief commentary on the care of zoo animals, and for that I'm sorry. Yet I for one find it always sad when big cats, bears, and others under our care get killed. But I am glad no people were hurt.

Am watching Y&R now.

rc, it was a private zoo the man who killed himself owned the animals, and from the looks of them he had taken good care of them. Said that if he felt the need to end his life that he had to sentence the animals to death by releasing them.

Toots, it looks like the skies have stopped weeping, blue ones out there right now.

Jam - You're opinion I think is pretty good. Sophia looks good w/o makeup, and her "plumpness" ,if you will, highlights her cute features. And yes, Sophia's cute little "Mo" is neat.

Hey y'all - Did ya see, Cain/Ethan (I think he's Ethan) tried to get stubborn Lily out of the house the Feds were targeting. Then *BOOM!!* Matchticks and fire. Were they hoping to knock off Colin or Geneviere? Well whatever it would indeed be good to see Smilin' Jack with his arm around someone again and Genevieve looks good for him. Maybe she'll rob the Abbots blind or buy the company. What do some of you think?

Toots - Something tells me it's all happenin' at the zoo, I do believe it, I do believe it's true.....Its a shame those cats and a bear had to get shot. A poor excuse for mismanagement of a "Zoo". I understand the remaining species are being sent to a nearby zoological center. That's good.

Dopey end to the Jefrey story. Even Glo had I hard time acting out That scene, haha. Now, who will they pair her up with??
IMO Sophia looks much prettier without any make-up. But pairing her up with Neal does not feel right at all. Love little Mo, tho.
I enjoy all Genivieve's scenes, but I suppose she'll be going too.
But why not have her marry Jack? It's time for another Abbot bride.

Monkeys, depending on their size, can be just as dangerous as a tiger. Recently there was a chimpanzee in the news that did damage to a person that I won't describe incase some of you are eating while reading this.

Some interesting ideas re Billy. I'm leaning that he got drunk and did a bad thing with much regret....or....more likely, got drunk and Victor set him up to look like he did something bad. Either way, hard to feel sorry for him since he consistently acts without thinking and puts himself in unfortunate situations.

Why is Victoria in such a rush to get a divorce. There isn't exactly an over abundance of eligible bachelors in town.

I hope that Colin killed Diane so we can get rid of two very boring stories on one show.

Heather got fired weeks ago. Won't miss Sam...boring. Wish Yolanda was put in the revolving door...in one day, out the next...but I don't think we'll be that lucky.

Oh Neil...what a first class jerk he is. Regardless of how many nasty things he does, he never refrains from judging and condemning others. His sins are quickly forgiven and forgotten. And Lilly acting like Malcolm is the bad guy and Neil is father of the year! Well...he did give her twins an UNCLE!

Odd dress for Sharon to wear to court. Don't think she should be showing cleavage. And it looked like she had falsies perched on her shoulders. She should be looking like Casey Anthony....hair pulled back unattractively in a bun, boring librarian clothes. It worked for her.

We've got the weird weather here...one day the A/C is buzzing...the next day the furnace kicks on. Some of my tenants had their A/C on while the furnace was cranking away. With the hot air and cool air coming together...I wonder if they had mini tornados in their apartments!!!

Yes, Jean,, you're probably right. No knock up...just drunk. But for sure Victor's gonna hold something on his head, and meanwhile, Victoria's consigning herself to dissolution of the "1950's iconic marriage". Then watch, Billy's gonna show up afterward and break her heart.

Regarding Colin and Genevieve, I think she's really the mob boss and he's hanging on taking the 'fame'. But maybe one of them will get knocked off in a few weeks. Ethan may have a hand in that; he is the bad seed right?

Glad to hear, Toots, you're ok after the zoo got loose in your town. That was really irresponsible of that guy. So who's gonna walk the dog? (laugh).

All of you here are so good to me, a stranger in your midst, I cannot begin to thank you all for your sound words of advice. I am not one to clear out all his memories, in fact I am putting more pictures ot, and when people ask if I am going to sell my house and move away from memories of him here I am appalled. No I am staying right here where I can feel him...funny you should mention his smell..I kept both of his aftershaves that we both loved and I snift them now and then. It is just so loney without him but I am trying to get back into reading, I always loved novels. I am even watching his golf and Nascar shows as if he were still here. I think I am doing better, holidays will be the pits but I am going to take the suggestion of volunteering at the nursing home my daughter works in, in fact I used to go there when my dad was there with dementia and force him to hand out Halloween candy to the children they brought through, I think I will start with that. Thank you all for your concern, I guess it will just take time. I just want to be able to talk about him without crying. You have all been such a help to me, I am not alone in my grief.

My opinion is that Victor planned the whole story regarding Billy. Billy was drunk, can't remember anything, and Victor had the police arrest him, and was told that he was arrested for such and such. And he really didn't do anything. That is why Victor found him so easily. He knew exactly where he was.

Jam - I agree that Daisey and Lucy will be long gone in the near future.

Pinkie what who wrote here was both very moving and very true. You all have said pretty much the same advice: we all mourn and grieve our way at our own time. When my dad passed from cancer ( I don't even know how he got that) I wasn't even in the same town. My mom called me while I was at work in NY. My emotions ran as we spoke, and when I hung up I just dropped my head to the desk and cried. A few minutes later I dried up and went back to work (In Ecclesiastes it says there is time to mourn, and a time to laugh....). But there were many women in that department, some of which were widows, some not, and they gathered around me to comfort. But dad's memory lives on. Mom and I talk about him often and I still have some of his fishing, tools, plaques, pictures, mementos, etc. in a storage room which I visit sometimes to clean out. In my heart he's always there and that's important. Your best memories are in your heart, to hold on to what you remember best. A bit wordy, I apologize, but this is meant for any there who mourns. God bless.

Dear Paula . what ever you do take your time . and live for yourself of what you have now .allow yourself to Laugh not just cry . and dont be in a hurry to throw anything away .Im a caregiver and it makes me Crazy when a loved one dies and the Family come in and start getting rid of things days after the death. Its like they want no reminders of them.. When my Mom died I put the last outfits she wore into a plastic food storage bag (shorts & a Tee shirt) and I would smell it every now and then, eventfully her smell went away . but for about 2 yrs i could still smell her . I know your pain as do many here and it does get easier , when Thanksgiving & Cristmas come which will be sad , maybe you can Volunteer at a Sheleter where they give out dinners or visit a person at a Nursing Home who has no family . Something that will make you feel good. I hope /I know it will get better . Toots was married many yrs when her beloved passed I know she thought life would Never be the Same and then her Wonderful Son passed suddenly Well if ever there is a reason to lay down and die that will do it BUT She carried on Slow & steady and I know its still hard for her . But she is living for those who are still here. When My Brother died at the age of 23yrs 40yrs ago 8 days before Christmas . My Parents fell apart as all do But they never got over it and left the remaining children watch them just waste away . Drink not care about anything .Not even Us.. and that Hurt . I'm sorry to go on & on but you will be Ok If you want to Be , Wouldn't your Husband want you to Be Happy again?, Take a deep breath and tell yourself I can do this . I'm so sorry for your pain . You can do this Im sure Toots would be more then Happy to talk with you If she hasn't reached out to you already , Best of Luck I hope I didn't offend you or step out of bounds

A dark gloomy weather morning here BUT things will soon brighten up inside as my daughter husband and Grandson coming for lunch..Ta Da :O)
Paula: I never went to a berevement group as knowing my self (I feel sooo bad for folks in sorrow) would have made me more depressed.BUT had neighbor man that lost his wife and he went ONCE and was terrible for him. Like Rosebud wrote each has to do things at their own pace.Takes time and cry when you want to. You WILL feel better !!
Y&R: waiting to find out what BIlly did OR did not do OR if VIctor planned all this..

Paula......Rosebud here. I know exactly what you are
feeling and going thru with the bereavement sessions.
My Son went with me when my Husband passed away.
The first time I cried for 2 hrs. couldn't even look
at the (helpful?) books
Second time was the same.......then a Nun told me
It was too soon for me, she said crying was healing)
I never went back. Everyone is different and it just takes time to heal. Just do your own thing.
So sorry , but you will get stronger as time goes by.

Bless you

Jam : It may be a JYO, but I think your opinion makes a lot of sense; and the Billy/Victoria scenario always sounds good (the only good romance in the whole story, well besides Kate and Murphy). I especially like the idea you proposed for Nick and Phyllis. Avery is a better class woman anyway. IMO.
rcsmiley
va bch - Sat Oct 15 18:08:43 MDT 2011

My guess is that Billy gotthrown in jail for 'statuatory rape' - of
a foreign girl -under 16. He will find out she is pregnant, and somehow buy himself out of all his trouble by agreeing to take the baby to Genoa City and give it a priveledged upbringing.
I think this because: he and Victoria so obviously are still in love, and this the only way they'll get another baby!!
It won't be a simplistic as I've laid it out, but it will happen, IMO, and then somehow Diabolical Daisy will get Lucy away from Phyliss, and we'll never hear of Daisy or Lucy again. (Also, IMO)
Then maybe, Nick will end up with Avery, and Phyliss will be alone.
(That would serve her right. Am I right?? She has zero morals.)

That's all the scenarios I can conjure up today.

Toots- thx for your concern. I am doing okay. Some good days , some bad..Can't seem to stop crying. Went to a bereavement group on wednesday, probably will just do a one-on-one with a counselor because everyones story drags me down...so sad. I know it is to show me I am not alone, but I feel alone. I did go back to work and that helps some, days were so long. Did not start to clear out things yet, can't face it rght now. Have not watched much Y&R but I have kept up on this chat, seems I have not missed much.

Windy Ohio - Sat Oct 15 13:08:56 MDT 2011

Okay so it was obvious that the baby was going to be Neil's because Malcom is leaving the show. I am so irritated w/ the Victor story. He has gone too far! There has to be more to the story. While I am upset with Victor, I am also mad at Billy. He must have had to do something HUGE to allow Victor to do this. I think everyone is going to be just as mad at Billy as they will be at Victor. Not for what he did but not trusting his family enough with the truth and going along w/ this ridiculous scheme. Billy is just as much as fault as Victor is. I am tired of this story. Victoria and Nick will once again be upset w/ Victor and say they are "done". However, it will last a few months and all will be well again. I am hoping there is another reason behind this. Michael seems to be very supportive of this plan so it has to be another reason to it. Maybe with Billy did if exposed will put everyone in Genoa City in danger and Victor, Billy and Michael know that so they think this is the best way..? I am not sure.

How long before Nick sleeps with Avery? It is just a matter of time...
Nick is a male ho. He has slept with almost every female on the show.

Lilly, Devon, and Neil have got to be the nosiest people on the show. Why did Lilly grab Cane's cell phone and Cane just let her? I would have said, "Wait, we not together anymore! I don't owe you piddly squat.." Devon just grabbed that check and looked at it. Nosey! Cane is kind of weak if you ask me. He has no backbone. He lets everyone in town dump on him and judge him. Nobody has room to judge on this show..NOBODY except for maybe Murphy. ALL are cheaters, manipulate, and scheme when it suits them yet get mad at others when they do it. Typical day in GC

Sophia's baby Moses is a cutie. I think he looks more like Malcolm with the little round face.
Wouldn't it be a kick in the head if Moses
really is Tuckers. That would give Ashley
something to think about.
Mrs. C really made a speedy recovery, out
of ICU to home and still beating herself up...
with her temper. Murph seems to be the only
one with a brain......Just my humble opionion.

LadyBug: Yeah, I know what you mean. All these people do or seem to do is visit each other. And drink. Of drinking, I think you're right. Billy just went on a binge and got locked up; with Victor holding over him some lie he probably couped up. I think Ms. Yolanda, etc is just a gold digger. Now that you've mentioned it....you may be right. The father of Sophia's child could be neither Malcolm nor Neil. How about Tucker? (boy he gets around, huh?).

I think the father of Sophia's baby is either Neil or Malcolm....tee hee!! Really cute baby.

I'm not liking Yolanda, Harmony or whatever she's calling herself.

I'm thinking now that maybe Billy didn't really do anything. Maybe he just got drunk and Victor staged a scene putting him in a questionable situation.

Yeah Ladybug, your guidelines for soaps looks just about right. Yes, I think that Billy did use the word "girl". Shows a pretty bad sense of character or just a real desperate pair of .....well, maybe he will return to his "lovebird" self while he was married to Vicky. Speaking of Victoria that part of today's episode made me real tense, wanting to say to Vicky, "Don't sign it, don't sign it." especially when the cell Phone rang with him on the other end. Of course, if she answers and he talks, Victor will haul his ass in jail. Well its a soap.
Yeah Pinkie I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. At the rehab center she's in now they are turning her, but the nurses are men she tells me, and "there's no modesty anymore" ("Oh I'm used to this" he says.) Yet I can't imagine a skinny frail 120lb nurse turning Mom over. So, well you know. And yeah if the joint smells of pee and poo someone on staff isn't cleaning up right. But where mom is it's ok.

To Rc Smiley I wanted to ask you if you have been in touch with Area for the Aging in your city regarding your MOM also SSI they will pay for up to 8 or 10 hrs a day for her care in home, I hope that Social Services in the Hospital brought this information to your attention , Its there job to make sure that she will have the proper in home care upon her release of the Hospital. also for anyone else who has a loved one in the Hospital or Nursing Home if you ever have any problems with the care they are getting or If it is for yourself get in contact with the Ombudsman in your City , they will check out all complaints and come and talk to you on your behalf . and Nursing homes should NEVER ever smell like urine or poo If they do it means they are NOT doing there Job.Also there is a rule that anyone that is bed ridden has to be turned every 2 hrs .. and it goes like this Window ceiling door .. they are to be facing those every 2 hrs . to prevent bedsores.. While Mr P was in ICU I had to file a Complaint because tho they have it posted about checking on the patient every hr No one came to him to offer water which he couldn't get on his own because of all the tubes & wires he was attached to . on the 2nd day I had to ask if he was going to get a bed bath and the Nurse said OH do you want one!! So I filed a complaint . I hope this helps with all who may need this information.. Good Luck with your Mom RC If you have to mark sheets put a little ink mark where you can see if and then see if its still there the next day . where they are bed bound or mobile they should be changed every day and patients should see a Nurse at least once every hr.. there should be a posting on the wall about what they promise to do,,

I agree, Toots, I wish I had my very own Murphy!!

Wasn't Davonne just yesterday trashing Tucker and saying...just because Katherine gave him away when he was a baby and in 50+ years hasn't bothered to find him, he should still love her because she's FAMILY!! And...Davonne knew that Yolanda was a druggie, couldn't take care of her own children...is he surprised now that she slept around as well!!!

I think Yolanda will be showing up in GC very soon.

The guidelines to writing soaps:
Lots of hypocracy and misunderstanding.
No locks on any doors, not homes, mansions or apartments.
No one EVER knocks.
If someone overhears the slightest snippet of a conversation, it's always the worst most shocking part.

So Billy did something to a girl...he did say "girl" right??? not woman. Can't remember.

Today's show was just window into the characters' personalities. One could see Murphy really loves Kate and is aware of her stalwartness. You could see by the way he spoke to Katherine just how Victor really respects and loves Katherine. Lastly one could see how Jill blasted at Jack how shallow smilin' Jack is, in that he cares mostly how Jabot remains in HIS possession, as his father John once wanted. But I think that is John was still alive now he'd say, "C'mon Jack swallow it or it'll kill you. You've built the business bigger than I imagined and if someone wants it, take the best price and invest in another one. Or just go to Europe and make it big."

Yes..."Abby" is ready to pop. Her TV mom "Ashley" gave her a shower over the weekend. She seems sweet...on twitter...loves to knit. I do too.

Can't say I feel sorry for Katherine. If I were her, I would have taken the opportunity of finding my son, who loves business and is good at it...handed it all over to him and grabbed Murphy to go on a cruise around the world.

I also think that when you get to an older age (I just applied for social security!) you take better care of yourself, not just for yourself, but for your children and grandchildren, knowing how hard it would be for them to lose you. Putting yourself through life threatening stress just for business...seems selfish to me. But...everyones different especially soap characters.

I don't get Katherine. She called Tucker deceitful? When was that ever an issue for her???? Both Jack and Victor have been deceitful countless times, they've been unethical even criminal in business and have lied and cheated in their personal lives. Even Neil...getting his brothers fiance pregnant is just fine with Katherine...but Tucker having a one-night-stand with Diane is evil. Jack is her legacy???? The son she abandoned is crap???? Her business is her family....no wonder Brock is MIA all the time. Weird woman...maybe she's getting senile.

JAM: This is actually the first time that I've watched DWTS since the first/second season. I especially like Rob K although I don't like the rest of his family. I like David Arquette. Let's face it, not just about dance it's who you like. (I've never voted.) It's a little unfair that Chaz stayed, but people like him. And it's sad Cher begging people to vote for her (on twitter)...yes "her" because I think she's having a hard time adjusting...I can only imagine. She must be mourning the loss of a daughter while trying to accept her new son. Anyway...the shows just for fun, it's not the olympics.

So tired of the Romeo & Juliet story with Billy & Victoria. I hate what Victor is doing but as John just told Billy he did it to himself. If he had never left, he would not be in this position to be blackmailed by Victor. If he would have just stayed and dealt with the consequences of buying Lucy he would not be in this mess. Its hard for me to feel really sorry for Billy. Victoria is going to be mad at both of them. Victor for taking advantage of the situation to break them up, and Billy for going along with it and doing whatever it is he did while he was away. She is going to say something like "You both deserve each other! I never want to see either one of you again!" Although it will be temporary.

I bet you Jack sits at home at night and pleasures himself to Jabot products. His obsession is just ridiculous. Get over it. Tucker/Jack are novices compared to Victor. I bet you Katherine teams up w/ Victor to get back at Jack and Tucker. I can see that coming.

I am finally glad Neal came around, I was shocked. He realized when he was giving Victoria advice that he needed to take that advice himself. Glad he is not interfering in Lilly's life like he did in the past. He is also letting Devon live his life finally. There may be hope for Neil yet.

Tired of the Sharon in jail story this story needs to wrap up quick. But Sharon is a lot stronger and not as whiny. They have really toughened up her character quite a bit. For a while, she was reminding me of Valene Ewing on Knots Landing w/ all the "Poor Val".

Paula : Hi. My dad passed when I was living in NY (Long Island) and after speaking to my mom a few days later I told her, "Mom get out of the house." , knowing she should keep herself busy so she's not overcome with grief. It helped. And now that I'm living with her we've done thing together and we talk about dad often, as we were advised. But now she's in the hospital so I attempt to see her as often as necessary. Thils helps also.

Don't care for Eden Riegel either, but the new lawyer -what's her name -Mary Higgens Clark?? -whatever. She's pretty good, and her storyline is interesting.
"Laura" plays "Genevieve" surprisingly well. I always enjoy her scenes, no matter whoo she is talking to.
Hey - isn't that Wine Cellar a Joke? Now why would there just conveniently be a small square opening in the door - if not just SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS S/L?? Inane. Oh wll - That's Soaps for ya.

@RC Genevive was talking to Adam? Did you mean Avery? I like Ronan he is not intimidated by Victor or Adam. Tired of the Colin story. Its really a yawn. Debbie Morgan is coming to Y&R from AMC. I bet she plays Yolanda, Devon's real mother. I read today that Sam, Heather, and Colin are on their way out. No surprise about Sam as the actor who plays him is a movie star. Colin's exit will probably vindicate Cane who they will ultimately forgive. At least we have not seen Nina's whining for a few days. She will go to the hospital and whine to Chloe about how she wishes Chance (her man) was there. Tired of the back and forth conversation between Nick & Noah about seeing Sharon in jail. Enough...

Didn't see much of Y&R today, just Cane yelling at his dad in the wine cellar.
But LadyBug if they replace her with someone better fine. I just began to like her as Heather. She grew on me. Yet as a lawyer I thought she lacked the chutzpah prosecuting lawyers should have. JMO. Liked her smile, though, and her Twitter comments.

Jean: Honestly I agree with you....can't imagine the writers going there. If Billy did find himself in that situation which is too common in Asia, he wouldn't have "done" anything. By underage, I meant 15 or 16...still a child I know. I just can't think of anything he could have done that was so horrific that he would sacrifice seeing his sick daughter and Victoria...he would give up his family, his life, everything. It has to be reprehensible. If it's some silly drug thing I'll be annoyed.

So...anybody? What could he have done?????

"Heather" got fired by Y&R over the phone. Wonder why they would bring her back just to fire her. I'm not a big fan...so fine with me.

Oh ladies.....Billy and a child prostitute was the LAST thing on my mind (if it was on my mind at all). But you're probably right LadyBug. "Tch, Billy you should know better..." Vicky might say
Anyway....
I might start to like Genevieve, judging from what she had Adam read today. She puts Adam in his place, I thought. But didn't yet free Sharon.
And what does Cane hope to find in the safe? Both he and his father know Ginny's head games; her usual business practice, if you will. I bet Ginny has mucho $$ stored in that safe that she procured through her own criminal efforts, ya think?
But at least no one is looking for a body somewhere, or someone's unknown family member, or a prolonged illness, or....well, the script just is starting to look better, do you all think?
OH, one last thing my mom took a spill in Mary's Restaurant where we eat b'fast on Weds and she's at home with her leg up trying to drain a swollen bruised leg in pain. Just when she's getting better. Oi. Thanks for you prayers.

I'm perplexed about what Billy did too! Agree with Toots...being with a prostitute isn't that big a deal. It wouldn't even be surprising to most. Maybe if it were an underage prostitute??? Children sold as sex slaves is a big problem these days and makes me tear up just thinking about it! They have to make it really, really bad so that we won't hate Victor too much. Still, if that's what Billy did...he should admit his mistake and spend the rest of his life and his vast financial fortune fighting human trafficking.

Hi, folks.
Guess Victor's far more clandestine than anyone would like. But I'm sure he has his reasons, for good or bad. I still think he'll alienate Victoria, at least for a while. He certainly has Billy. I just hope Billy doesn't break his vow and spill the beans.
Meanwhile, Gloria and Colin were getting sloshed in the booze room, I sorry, the wine warehouse. And then they find a casino! But who's dishing them food? Any ideas?

Is it true that Eden Riegel is fired by CBS? What a raw deal. Many on Twitter like her too. I understand also the guy that plays Colin is going too. Too bad. Anyone out there have any confirmation of this?

va bch - Mon Sep 19 19:00:08 MDT 2011

@rc smiley..Vic always has a scheme that alienates him from GC folks, but that is Victor he does not care who hates him or who is mad at him. In his mind, he feels he is doing the right thing. If I were Victor, I would spin it that he had no choice because of whatever landed Billy in jail would put everyone at risk or in danger, make him look like the hero/martyr. Victor is like Kate Roberts from Days of Our Lives. Kate has done countless schemes "for her children" like trying to kill Chloe and drugging Sammi, yet her children always forgive her. Victoria will never be forever mad at her dad.

I don't get why Victor did it though...Billy has not done anything to Victor. Its like Stephanie and Brook, Kate & Sami, the two will just not get along. But Victor is working w/ someone. Not sure who though.

Clgill77: Hey cg, Love that "Victor/Victoria" expression. Ha! Really Lol.
But seriously, the big Vic has got "Billy Boy" over a barrel; he wants his marrow for Delia and to not see Victoria again. Yes, Victor's gonna break both their hearts and No.1 daughter is gonna close the door on her father for this just wait. She doesn't even know 'bout Billy yet. Victor is nice to some but despicable to others (reminds me of "....you're dettthpicable!" - Daffy Duck, if you don't remember.)

WHY would Victor risk his already fragile relationship w/ Victoria? Why can't he just let Victoria deal w/ her life? Victor never learns although he's still my favorite character. He is working w/ someone, cause he is reporting to someone on the phone. I am tired of the same old same old. I really don't want to see another Victor/Victoria discord. Also don't want a repeat of everyone throwing stones like they did w/ the Patty saga. Uggh come on Victor leave Billy alone. I guess in his mind he is doing it for everyone's sake.
On the other hand, Billy is a lot like Sammi on Days of Our Lives he always gets himself into these positions. If he had stayed in town and did not run or do whatever he to land him in jail, he would not be in this mess and be at the mercy of Victor. You know Billy is gonna rebel and do his own thing anyway.

While I agree so many of the plot developments are dumb and frustrating, I still really enjoy the show. I think because the dialogue writing is still pretty good, and the actors are so good.
The characters are infuriating too (what's with Catherine?)
but we know them and love them. Also, maybe the word addicted applies?haha.
Sometimes I forget just how cruel Victor can be. How can I forget?
I didn't realized he was going to just use Billy for his marrow and not even let him see his daughter.

I thought that this show was headed in a more exciting direction with Diane's murder, but after seeing your episode tomorrow, I am convinced that the writers have gone A.W.O.L.

A new character is introduced within the first five minutes, and the level of care that I showed hit a new low - it doesn't even seem to matter who killed Diane anymore, since Sharon's case has over-ruled it. I think that this is a good time for a break~ Trying to get home for the Y&R is a thing of the past, and that is a good thing!

Now, Mr. Freeman passed in '06 but that interview made in the '80's made such sense about free enterprise (he proposed greed) that my friend thought it important enough to enter Facebook.

Wow never thought of Devon being Tuckers son, now it kinda makes sense why they did not show the woman Paul was talking to, probably african american...wow good thinking!! Gotta be...I agree Phyllis would know if she slept with Tucker...

Lady Bug, Yes she would know, but she has never told and with her "sister" now in town knowing her history I thought that it could be a possibility and something that the sister could let everyone know about.Plus she broke Cricket and Danny up by saying she was pregnant by Danny (a musician), so she was into rock back then. Lately, I have scraped that idea and started thinking about Devon, a druggie mom, a little sister who loves to sing, he who is musical, and Neil who is rather excited with the idea of maybe being a dad and how the writers like to screw up people's lives I thought that if Devon is the missing son that would open up the storyline of Neil in a way losing a son.
Who Knows!!

Mary I had never thought of Devon as Tucker's son. Yeah...maybe Yolanda was a groupie. Thought maybe Sam because of physical similarities.

We don't know who Danny's father is but we know his mother is Phyllis...wouldn't she know if she'd been with Tucker?

By the way,if anyone is interested you can check out the business owned by Genie Francis that is located in Belfast, Maine about 50 miles from where I live. It is a home decor store. She moved here a few years ago after visiting Maine and falling in love with it.The name of the business is The Cherished Home and if you type that in altogether with a .com added at the end you can look at it.

I wish she would do a Y & R meet and greet here in Maine with some of her fellow actors from the show.
Mary
Maine - Thu Sep 1 23:20:21 MDT 2011

Since the show has been showing Tucker interested in Devon as an entertainer does anyone think it could be Devon that is Tucker's son? I had thought Danny since we really never learned who is "real" dad was, but perhaps dad and son have already found each other and just don't realize it? Guess we will know soon enough!

Re: Adam - My money's on Adam paying the doctors for the lie. It's his style. Guess I was wrong about Neil. The new events I wasn't aware of. Haven't been glued to the set for awhile. But I remember Neil being unhinged about Dru posing gig. The holier than thou thing really stuck. It seemed he was more concerned about image than his wife.
Other than this I never saw Y&R today. Was with my mom at the ER for severe swelling in her legs. She just needs a lower diuretic dose, a pain killer, Aspirin, and Lyrica. She'll be fine (I hope).

But Neil is no longer kissing Victor's butt, he is kissing Katherine's. I never got why Neil turned on Victor anyway. Neil was one of the few people Victor treated w/ respect. I think it was because he knew that he would always play 3rd fiddle to Nick and Victoria at Newman. I miss Drucilla on the show. She was so real and gave Phyllis a run for her money. I haven't not been a Neil fan since Dru left and I only liked him then because Dru made him loosen up, he has always been booshee, judgmental and uptight. Remember when Dru posed for that magazine and how long it took him to forgive her for that?
I read fall previews that Delia is going to get sick and need bone marrow and that will bring Billy back but Billy is going to have a "secret" Yawn...
So when is Nikki coming back? She been gone a long time. Does anyone believe Adam is really on this eye treatment list or he paid some doctors just say that?

clgil77: Yeah. Neil is kissin' butt, and that's why Victor likes him. "Yes, Victor I agree....." blah blah blah. Your point's well taken, cg; Billy knew right up front he wasn't liked by the Vic and he didn't care. Love conquered all, except his drinking and chips (gambling). Then Diane nursed his passions and.....well I've gone on too long.

The fact that Cane gave up rights to fatherhood is sad. Now he's off to his fatherland. IMO I think Lily should've given visiting rights to Cane. Now it's back to Kangaroos.

yes it was Neil that slept with Tyra when he was engaged to Karen. Then Devon slept with Tyra...like "father" like "son"...
and Lily is not all that good. When she was with Daniel the first time and they got married didn't they run away from the law for something Daniel did???? I can't remember, but I don't like the two of them together I hope Lily does get back with Cane...although she is gonna have some apologizing to do for her behavior.
And Malcolm, YUCK Sophia should dump him...I want the baby to be Neil's ... so there! Lily is Malcolms daughter and now this should be Neils son. IMHO

@RC, I am just tired of the hypocrisy ALL of the Genoa City residents have. EVERY last one of them has broken the law, cheated, stolen, lied, etc. Except for maybe Lilly, who is a princess. Daniel cheated well not cheated but was addicted to porn and and stuff and hurt Lilly and now he is acting like her night and shining armor? Neil is near 50 he has been lost since Dru left which is why he is acting a fool.

Jack get over JABOT. DAMN. If Jabot was a woman he would make love to it. I bet when he is with Genevive he imagines "Jabot" across her forehead. I am glad Jill finally forgave Cane. Maybe that means the other ones will too soon. Its not that deep, Cane is not the first person to fake his death. What they gonna do when Dru finally comes back from the dead? They gonna have all these conditions..i bet you Neil won't accept her at first.

I am glad Sofia talked some since into Lilly and told her if anything else do not deprive Cane of this children for their sake. Anyone else think Nick is going to hook up w/ Ashely? The writing is on the wall. Lots of tension there..yuck. That is his step-mom even if she aint with Vitor anymore. Nick is a ho.He would sleep with Mrs. Chancellor.

Cane needs to be more like Billy and not tolerate any shit from Neil. Billy does not give two cents if Victor likes him, Cane should be the same way and remind Neil of how much a hypocrite he is.

I am still saying Genevive killed Diane. Her little psycho rants are very telling. Hmm....
clgil77
- Wed Aug 31 17:09:50 MDT 2011

clgil and Ladybug - Yes, I agree with you both. Everyone in the wonderful Winters family, including Neil and Malcolm, and I guess Devon, think they're above the others in that GC crowd. But they've hoped beds and in-laws like everyone else. I guess writers are just trying to show us something; maybe something indicative of their personality. Yet now that I think of it, how is that different from let's say Victor.

Smilin Jack's not so smilin' about submitting to Queen Katherine who made him CEO of Jabot. He should be happy he still has the company. I'm sure his father would say so. What do you all think?
What's gonna happen to Phyllis?

va bch - Wed Aug 31 15:47:52 MDT 2011

clgil: Lilly must be at least 25...which means Malcolm had to be early 20's when she was conceived. Yes he was horny and that's no excuse. But a man almost 50 who is a father and grandfather...that's disgusting. Geez...at that age you should have more control and better moral values than a 20 year old. Let's not forget that he also slept with Tyra when he was engaged to Karen. If someone is bad and owns it I respect them more than someone who acts holier than thou while screwing up.

I agree with you about Lilly. Chloe did the same thing. She did everything she could to keep Billy from seeing Delia but when he leaves town she gets angry that he's leaving his daughter.

lady bug
- Wed Aug 31 14:37:06 MDT 2011

Someone posted earlier that Malcom was much younger when he took advantage of Dru?? Please. He was an adult. He had common sense. He was simply horny. Malcom needs to get over himself and get over being so damn angry with everyone when he has made so many mistakes. I will say it again, The Winters family are so self-righteous and hypocritical. They need Drucilla back to keep them grounded. Devon slept w/ his "aunt" Tyra while with that other girl. How can any of them pass judgement on anyone? Maybe if Malcom and Devon had lives of their own, they would stop being so involved in Lilly's. We all know that in the end, she gonna take Cane back. They better start preparing 4 it now. If I were Cane though I would not want to come back to such a meddlesome and judgmental family. He couldn't even be late coming from the grocery store w/out them jumping all over him.
clgil77
- Wed Aug 31 10:25:11 MDT 2011

So Lilly...you really were not expecting Cane to sign those papers were you? The look on your face when he gave you the papers..priceless. Now Cane is leaving, why does that shock you? Didn't you want him out of your life.You want him to stick around so that you and your family can continue to pick on him? She is so self-righteous. She takes after her dads not her mother. Dru would have forgiven Cane. Wait now Lilly is telling Cane he does not have to leave? Why? You told him you don't want him to see the kids, you want nothing to do w/ him. Why would you want him to stick around? To torture him? Please. Move on Cane.

Why can't they just do a DNA test to find out who the dad is instead of all this drama? Oops, forgot this is TV. Devon always has to be Lilly's protector. Get over it.

Can Olivia get a story of her own? The actress playing her should be insulted. She gets one or two episodes per month? Come on. She is such a talented actress. Remember the stories she got back in the day? If they still give Phyllis, Ashley, and Sharon stories, why not Olivia?

Hi, everyone.
Gee everyone diving into Jack's decision-making style.
I think Jack is a visual guy. He judges character by looks, not deed or potential. Smilin' Jack probably thinks Genevieve is a looker so he hires her. (Well, she is a looker, don't you all think?) He doesn't know yet the conniving, scheming bitch she really is. Just as her husband, Jack.
Now all that stuff on the Talk I don't know about. Some women replaced would be ok but I never thought Gilbert for years saddled with a woman. Oh well. But Leah Remini leaving?
Did anyone see Bill Shatner on Craig Ferguson's show last night? I wrote on Twitter that Bill traded the Starship for a horse. Tried to be funny. Could've warned Bill to not take airplanes on rainy nights but he'd might've gotten mad. It's an old "Twilight Zone".

David....I was thinking the same thing. Jabot is suppose to be a multimillion dollar corporation...and he hires someone on the fly. A company that size would already be on top of internet, social networks, etc. They would have a huge marketing department...not an empty office.

I would like the show better if people were just wealthy instead of billionaires. Like Victoria who just acquired 3 billion is going to rent out a room???? Please!!!!

Hunter Tylo was a beautiful woman who would have aged gracefully....but she has obviously had a ton of face work done and is starting to look like a clown.

I love "The Talk" but will not watch it anymore. I am so sick of everything Kardashian...and I've NEVER even watched any of their shows. I just don't get what the hoopla is all about....geez!!

Malcolm was a lot younger when he bedded Dru...not to excuse him. But, Neil...is suppose to be older and wiser and is always acting so self-righteous...he's a hypocrit. I don't get how Katherine has such respect for him when he bedded his brothers fiance...yet she never gives Tucker a break.

What else...oh....27 died in the hurricane.

"SO....Jack just offers this woman a job with no formal interview, background check, no references, no college degree"

Well, she DID have an idea about marketing "how about social media?", and she had a glass of champers, and well, slept with him... WTF?

Anyhoo - just watching 'The Talk' and see that there is a lot going on at this show - Holly Robinson Pete, and Leah Rimini are *toast* That Kardashian mom will be a fill-in for the fall season - Sara Gilbert has split from her girlfriend. ^^^seems that someone on the show is a queen b***h, and thinks that she is a professional newswoman - therefore no one else can talk 'serious news'

REALLY?? Just saw an episode of the Bold and the NotSO Beautiful... I used to think that Hunter Tylo was the most lovely actress. What happened?

Malcom really needs to get over himself. He is really being overdramtic. #1 He slept with Drucilla. Not only did he sleep with her, Drucilla thought she was seeing Neil she was high on medication and thought it was her husband. So basically what Malcom did was commit rape. So, why is he being so holier than thou? This is the problem with the Winter's family. They are so judgmental especially against Cane and they have more problems than anyone else. Neither Neil or Malcom or Devon for that matter can keep in in thier pants but they judge Cane. If I were Cane, I would not stand for it. There is no way they could talk to me like that. I would have to let them know. Cane needs more of a backbone like Phyllis.

I feel drained from the stress of almost 12 hours of being battered by rain and wind! Earthquake Tuesday, Irene yesterday. The calm right now feels good and I am very grateful no trees fell on my street. Everyone in my family, friends all safe. 76% in my city are without power...so very grateful I still have mine.

David: I don't know why people stay in threatening areas when they have all the time in the world to leave!!! It's so stressful. Yesterday they were telling people on the Outer Banks..."If you stay, write your name on your arm with permanent marker!"

Hope all goes well as Irene moves up the coast.

Heaven must have needed someone very special who will bring humor, smiles, friendship, determination, and a can do attitude to whatever task he is needed for.

Thank you to all of you who included Aaron and his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. Although he will miss his loved ones and they him, I pray he will now be free to do all the things he wanted to do here on earth that he wasn't able to do.

Aaron is not improving, his kidneys are having some problems, but his doctor's are not giving up and his family is hanging strong because they know that is what Aaron would want.

I have seen people on Facebook upset because their children are going off to college, all I can think is:it's not off to war, and how much Aaron's parents would give to have going to college be their only worry, (and he did go and did graduate even with all his health issues).Yes, I know college and the empty nest can be difficult for many (I had two girls that went also), but how "lucky" (we) and they are to have that be the biggest problem going on!

Yeah, David, looks like Jack's biggest attribute is his ego. But hey, if it works for him....its just the people he hurts, right? Gennie's expressions looking at her (as yet undivorced) husband is funny as Jack kisses her. And Jill is just plain miffed.
Adam on the road again? He's like a fly no one can kill (so 2 speak); once they get the juice on him he'll be out of town or country.
Finally, Avery as Phyllis's sister....is that too cool or what? She's got her sister's number and Phyllis don't like it. The bad news is Phyllis sounds like she was abused as a teen. Maybe that explains things, eh what?

I received an update on the young man who is fighting lung infection who is a friend of my oldest daughter and it is not good. He has been treated for two weeks for infection, which doesn't seem to be helping and now the doctors's are treating him for lung rejection which represses the immune system making it hard to fight infection. Since he has built up a tolerance to sedatives he is more wakeful, but unable to speak or really know what is going on.

He is on a ventilator at the present time and the doctors are waiting until Monday to see how he is then doing and then decisions will be made. His family is with him at this time and they are hoping to hear his voice again.

Please keep Aaron in your prayers and send good wishes his way.This young man is such an inspiration and such a fighter, I cannot imagine all that he and his family have gone through in his young life.

I'm just 50 miles from the Epicenter of the earthquake in Mineral, VA...so I felt it big time! Was watching my new grandson, 3 months old....when the house just started shaking. It was unbelievebly scary and weird. I didn't know what it was...just ran and grabbed him from his nap not knowing...should I go outstide cause it felt like the house was falling apart. My daughter and granddaughter were at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg for the day....they were outside eating and the table started to shake.

I know people in Calif go through this all the time...I don't know how they can stand it. It's so strange that the earth can do that. We take for granted that the earth can just rotate on it's axis with no problem...but when it does this...the possibilities of it going wacko seem possible.

Well...I will use this experience as a reason to live in the present, enjoying and appreciating everything I have which is abundant.

In my area we didn't feel the quake, but about 2 hours from us in more Southern Maine they did. Once in awhile we will get small quakes that last a couple minutes with no damage to speak of.

Nice day today, a little cooler at night. Watched the show today and I have to say I really don't care about the Tucker part of the show. I would just like to see Cane and Lily together with their babies again, can't the writers of this show just have them be happy together for awhile.

Anyone else watching America's Got Talent? Any favorites ?

Had today off, back to work tomorrow, the dining hall was renovated this summer so now it is cleaning, getting set up for opening, and working any bugs out before opening for the school year. Time for routine to start up again.

My oldest daughter's friend who had a double lung transplant (and did well for so long) and then a re-transplant of one lung is again in hospital with a bad infection. He is a wonderful young man, who inspires everyone he knows who graduated college, who enjoys life, who wants to contribute to his community, who has many friends.He will call, visit, write,email, whatever to help others(with cystic fibrous) facing the same type of surgeries and treatments that he has gone through. He holds nothing back about his own experiences hoping to help others.I am asking that you send your best to him, along with your prayers and thoughts for a quick , total recovery so that he can continue and hopefully have more time to enjoy a "normal" life without so much hospitalization and so he can marry the love of his life.

Registered 5.9 on the old Richter and epicenter was said to be between Charlottesville and Richmond. That is at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mtns where there is said to be 'transform faults'. I also understand the center of the Chesapeake Bay has a fault and the scar of a meteor landing. Its not only the "state of Presidents".

Paula: Yes, I too think it's Deacon the slime that put the key in Diane's mouth. Maybe cause he just wanted Abby, Asheley and Tucker to take the fall.
Adam is now seeing the rejection from his former love, Sharon, finally.
It as nice, I thought, to see Victoria step up to defend her dad's actions before Ronan . But what I'm not sure of is was Vicky really with her dad that night or did she just say that to shut up Ronan the Big Cop.

yes they are talking about a actual key found in her throat. I "think" it may be a key to a safety deposit box that contains the video of Ashleys daughter Abby confessing to trying to kill Tucker. She either tried swllowing it or someone stuffed it in her mouth after they killed her....Ashley, Abby, Tucker??? I still think it is Deacon.

I had my suspicions (well, I had many) that Phyllis was the culprit. We'll all see the truth soon I guess.
It's good that Sam is at the Newman ranch to take care of the animals; breaks his almost compulsive connection with Sharon. Think Sharon will be stuck in still now that the memory card has been destroyed?
Deacon due to the nature of his profession may just be the keyhole to all the unknowns about Diane's murder. But who has the key? Phyllis? Ashley? Jack? Emme Rylan? (forget character's name).

What's with these women (Lily & Chloe) thinking they can just keep the father of their babies COMPLETELY away from them, no visits or nothin"....they do have rights, and their mother's are not perfect either. I remember Danny R. having a band and Lauren sang with them didn't she??? The way they are playing up Tucker's interest in Rock they are surely leading to Daniel being his son, cause Phyllis was definitely a groupie, cause she loved Danny R. Oh boy! I don't really like Daniel and Lily together hope she comes to her senses....jmo Didn't he leave Amber because she wanted babies!! now he is going after a women with 2!!

Having now read the stuff by Mary, Jean, and David , it appears you all have more on the ball about Y&R than I so I'm reticent. However everything you all wrote is informative and thought provoking, if I indeed choose to think about it. Just kidding.

Matt Clark~ I remember him - he was the one that formed a boy band with Joshua Morrow (Nicolas) back in the late 90's! They were called 3Deep, and were kinda popular in Canada - don't know how they did in the U.S. I'm not sure if the story boys would drag up that old story...

Mary Maine - Good ideas. Maybe Daniel isn't even Danny or Phyllis son. Wasn't there a bunch of switcharoo DNA going on regarding that back then? You know Lauren was a big Danny groupie. Daniel could be Lauren's and Tuckers. Okay, I'm stretching. Excellent idea about the lawyer being Matt Clark's sister.

One good thing about todays show, no murder investigation. One bad thing, Sophia's acting. Whew

Houston - Thu Aug 18 12:35:22 MDT 2011

Could Danny be Tucker's son. Paul was mentioning as he looked at the computer something about Tucker liking the rock life style, and then they went to Lily and Danny. Danny is in his 20's as Tucker's son would be according to Paul and his "ink" testing and Danny's adoptive father was performing Rock and Roll. Could Tucker have been the man who actually fathered Danny all those years ago with Phyllis.Probably not, but it did make me wonder.

The lady attorney has the same last name as a guy in the past who attacked Sharon and was killed, his name was Matt Clark. The attorney worked for some group that represents people who were unjustly accused of crimes, like Sharon and perhaps she thinks Matt was unjustly accused? Just a wild thought.

Started this earlier but accidently closed the page before I finished and .... when you all know what it's like. $#+!
Didn't see much to today's Y&R but what I did see was Ronan questioning Jack as if his last name was ripper while his son Kyle pulled the questioned Harvard ring from a plastic bag. That makes questions arise in one's head. Jack held up Diane as she stumbled, hence the ring print. But I'm beginning to think of Tucker as a suspect (well they all are). Since Tucker acting weird I think Kate made the right move.

Today I saw "Cowboys and Aliens" (needed some entertainment). Was not Academy Award stuff but was ok. Was neat seeing Harrison Ford again in an action flick, and Daniel Craig looked neat in a cowboy outfit (and no English accent), And that brunette with the sky blue eyes looked good too.

Only saw some of today's show. But did see Adam's coy response to Victor's claim to Adam's guilt. And speaking of coy and sly, Phyllis had to chase away slimy Deacon from her and the carriage ("...don't speak evil in front of the baby...."). Deacon knows a lot, mostly because he's a bartender, and one who hears everything that walks in that bar. I just don't trust the guy. Well, enough of that.

Apologies to all of you supporters, but Mr. Obama better come up with viable working solutions instead of ideas for our economic concerns. The cloud is still around us and is affecting Europe, and China economics. Wake up Congress.

Sillyfluff, I agree with you. Let Jack have the kid. So what if Diane tried to switch sperm donors but got the Vic instead. It wasn't your wish Victor. LAY OFF. I mean, for once Jack looks happy and could have a son he'd be proud of (maybe). Mai's son is somewhere in Hong Kong I think. Do some good Victor.

In the real world Victor and Jack wouldn't even be associating with each other. Back off with the custody crap Victor. Let Jack have the kid. The arrogance, not to mention his idiosyncracies are such a turn off. But, alas, this murder mystery of late makes the show worth watching.

Hi, gang.
There was a fire down at Dismal Swamp yesterday, and the fire is still raging somewhat. What with the dry ground scattered with twigs, leaves and wind blowing the right way (SW) it was no surprise the smoke flowed up to our area. People were coughing, breathing heavy and rubbing their eyes, and driving needed caution due to limited visibility. The forest will be sticks if not arrested soon. If anyone's wondering this is not vandilism; it's a natural phenomenon that occurs to maintain the balance of nature. At this writing the winds have shifted NE and cleared the air.

Now to clear the air on Y&R. I've shortened the suspect list to two: Adam, for Diane's exposure to the SEC; and Phyllis for....I forgot. I know I could be wrong and if so, oh well.

For those who remember Francesco Quinn from the Y&R - he passed away this weekend. He was the son of Anthony Quinn. I found this plotline regarding his story (Tomas)

Nina Webster meets world renowned novelist, Tomas Del Cerro, in 1999 and the two develop a friendship as they spend time together discussing novel writing. Nina always feels that Tomas tries to distance himself, to hold back his feelings. Even though Nina finds out that Tomas is suffering from writer's block at the time, he helps her continue her career and they become lovers. Tomas helps Nina deal with the fact that she never found her baby that had been stolen by Rose DeVille. Nina's career begins to thrive after Tomas' publisher expresses interest in her novel. Tomas decides to propose to Nina and she reluctantly accepts, but their relationship is soon over after Tomas is unable to get past Nina's new-found success as a writer. Nina leaves town with her son, Little Phillip, and Tomas disappears from Genoa City.

In Canada he recently was known as the spokeperson for Old El Paso - "Chicken Thursday"

Hi everyone
Toots: yeah it rained here too; this afternoon for about 2-3 hrs then the sun came out.

Read about this dictator Assad of Syria. During a demonstration in the streets of Syria he orders his guard to gun down hundreds of citizens and bombs the area. There's rubble and dead bodies in the street and we know this cause a few brave citizens send these pictures over by Internet. So I thought to myself Pres. Assad can kill all the harmless citizens he wants to until there's no more and he's 'king of nothing'. Would he be happy then?

So glad to see the plot lines weaving a complex thread. Haven't seen a good story on Y&R in years. As I watched it today (the first in a while) I could see the "usual suspects" weren't so usual.

I believe Jean is from Houston.

Katherine is so annoying!! Tucker is her son...no worse than Victor, Jack or Neil all of whom she seems to have great respect and affection for. Right now, the only thing he needs from her is the love and support he's never gotten. Not kicking him while he's down...not protecting her business, his business...it's all she seems to care about.

@ Mary it could be Skye or Deacon but my money is on Genevive. If you remember when Diane was at Jack's and there was a shadowy figure in lurking looking through the windows. It looked like a woman walking away. They wanted it to appear like it was Nikki since the scene before that was that Nikki was missing from rehab. I think it was Geneveive who was watching and killed Diane out of jealousy and as a way to get Jack. Skye really has no reason to kill Diane. And how do we know it was Skye that Adam was talking to? It could very well be Patty. Adam really loved Sharon up until two weeks ago, so if he knew Skye was alive before that, he would have exposed her. It would not make sense unless Adam was playing her this whole time. And I doubt that since you would see Adam crying alone over Sharon when he thought she was dead.

One more thing: There are rumors going around that this Avery Clark is Matt Clark's sister. That would mean that Avery could be out for revenge against Sharon, Nick and Victor for her brother's death, so she could be setting out to derail Sharon's case..just a thought..
clgil77
- Wed Aug 3 10:47:15 MDT 2011

Yeah I think its going to be somebody like Genenveive or Kyle. It is not going to be a major character, but one of the likely suspects will take the fall for it...and go to jail and trial like Sharon did.Yawn..predictable. Its probably going to be Abby. She will go to jail and they will taunt her in prison and it will be an eye opening experience for her and it will cause more pain for Ashley and Tucker.

OK, I am really tired of Nina whining. The way she came into the house and crying about Chance...I thought he died. She just can't get a hold of him? DUH, he is in the service? Adam is really getting on my nerves, Phyllis is the only one that can match wits with him. I mean what is her purpose today on the show? She has no affiliation w/ this current story..oh wait..I guess because Ronan is about to come back to head Diane's investigation..uggh yaw get ready for more whining and crying from her. She needs a man or something. Nina used to have really good stories, now all she does is cling to her kids...smh.

va bch - Wed Aug 3 07:18:14 MDT 2011

OK So on Diane's murder. I doubt it is any of the suspects

Adam
Victor
Nikki
Victoria
Nick
Phyllis
Jack
Ashley & Tucker

Adam is an obvious choice but doubt it is him...Adam is a lot of things but I doubt he is a killer unless he was leaving the show. Victor threatens and plots but murder is not his style same for Jack. I can see Ashley and Abby actually killing Diane by accident by having a scuffle w/ Diane and her falling over but again too obvious. I have two possible suspects as after all it is never the ones we suspect.
Check this out:

Kyle: Kyle never got on the plan to Switzerland. He was tired of his moms lies and got angry with her. He found Diane on the bridge and she demanded to know why he was not on the plane. He begs her to let him stay and she says no..he gets angry and he fights Diane tries to grab her son but he pushes her and she falls over into the pond and dies while hitting a rock on impact. Kyle is so traumatized he runs off.

Geneveive: We do not know much about this character and she fairly new. She really likes Jack a lot and I think she hates Diane's role as a powerful woman in Genoa City as Genevive wants to be the most powerful woman there. She knows Jack is stressed over Diane and decides to eliminate her for the greater good. Since she is a new character it would be no thing to have her commit the crime, yet not the obvious choice. While she is powerful she has some Patty Williams tendencies due to her own daughter's death so she has no problem taking another person's life.

Those are my theories... I'm just sayin..

Hi, everyone. Now we're getting fascinatin' Y&R material.

So let's see....we have a floating body....a news report (about something most of us new - and that took too damn long)....a wet wristwatch, people making up answers, Adam wrapping up something...oh, and Victor faced with possible pokey time. We've got something finally to keep us riveted to Y&R, something in a long time. My usual suspects ran through my head but that's where they stay for now.

Nice to know its cool in Ontario and it's cooled off here in the east.
Well at least we're kept out of default for awhile, but the SSA and the Military, and other gov't projects better not fall apart. We don't want to see falling out of windows or riots in the streets right? (It's not as bad as '29 but its worrisome.),

I am guessing that Skyy is not dead - that is how they will get Sharon out of jail, so that she can whine about something new... Today in Oshawa (southern Ontario) is supposed to be 40* (over 100 degrees F) with the humidex~

Try to stay cool~~~~ go for a swim, but NOT like Diane did!

Hey Y@R fans...maybe she is not dead!! Adam and her were setting up something to frame Victor and do you guys remember the conversation Adam had with someone a few shows ago...I assumed Sky...like don't be spotted, stay low. Maybe he was talking to a Diane look alike...you know how these things go LOL

Was a beautiful day yesterday here in Maine, warm, but with a breeze, we shall wait and see what today does.

Went to Portland area for Fri and Sat with my mom. We visited my oldest daughter, went out to eat, shopped, enjoyed the views of the ocean and even visited Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's home.

No work today so I might get to watch the show. Take care everyone.

Paula: I have very dear friends and he has Parkersons. She is a tiny person and I worry for her getting him up to go some place out to the car, in the car, then getting the wheelchair out of the trunk getting him in then out then in again. HE is 85 I think. HE likes to get out as does she but golly what a chore. The lifting of the wheelchair and opening it up etc is quite a job. Do you have that to do? She is my age!!! NOT young :O)

Looks like after Monday it will be like a game of Clue for a while and THANK GOD we won't have to suffer through Sharone/Adam mooning over eachother anymore...I mean seriously I did like the way they ended that "relationship" (for lack of a better word).

Didn't see much more than some dribble of today's Y&R, but judging from what I read of your comments today don't think there was much to miss.

We're all aware by now......Today's heat was almost unbearable. Temps measured 96 to 98 degrees but the heat index made it feel over 100! Thank God for air conditioning, huh? Heard Monday's the show to see.

Oh, BTW, my Mom is out of the hospital today. She'd been in there since Thursday night from pains in chest (the proverbial elephant), soreness in the arm and chills. As it turned out two medications were dropping her blood pressure too low and they found clots her legs. Doctors inserted filters, called "umbrellas" in the Vena Cava and suggested change in diet. She has deep vein thrombosis. Thank God, cause things could've been worse.

How many people on this show realize their closest are secretly doing them in? And how long does it take? Guess that's why these story lines go on for so long. Anyway....

Victor opens a new line and advertising campaign for Victoria and Emme, er, Abby to participate in. They are overjoyed. I think Vicky's new endeavor will help her get over the dumps over losing Billy.

Ah, but Diane- - - she hasn't heard the last. Wait 'till Adam reminds her the evil she's done to him. Well tune in later folks.

Hi...
Diane has got a real pair to stand up to Jack and Victor the way she does. And then she finds comfort and agreement with (of all people) the same bartender that got (or helped get) Nikki in rehab. Dean or something.
Y&R Twitter asked if Diane will get possession of Kyle (well it's not football) and of course I wrote no.

I wonder what Sharon thinks now of Adam? Sam returned to GC to help Sharon I guess. But what does he think he'll accomplish? Maybe because he sees the GC crowd for what they really are, from an outsider's viewpoint, that he possibly could point out some qualities others can't see and unshackle Sharon (I still think she should move to Montana or wherever he's from, and start a new life).

Hi ! Didn't see Y&R today, but heard some things about today's show. Looks like Chloe is more protective of her possessions than the love and care of her children. Sin duda* children need a father or father-figure and Billy was denied that (*without doubt).
Read on Twitter that Sharon was faced with Adam's meanness. Finally a true face. Do any of you think Sharon's eyes will be opened to the real Adam? Not gonna see it tomorrow either but I will read your stuff then.

A flash of lightning, a peal or two of thunder, some wind sometimes, but no rain just yet. Tornado warning west of here and moving east. But we're ok.

Sorry to hear about the news of Amy Winehouse. Her jazz, blues, and R&B singing style was sometimes inviting to hear, considering much of the rap and hip-hop nonsense I hear. Am sure we all heard, she's now included in the "27 Club" of those musicians whose lives ended due to drug and booze overdose. Sad. Seems the talented musicians, writers, and artists destroyed their own lives through such misuse, Exceptions of course exist, like Picasso, Michaelangelo, and Moussagorsky. (There's an American composer who recently passed but can't remember his name.)

How many of us think Sharon is willing to accept the truth about Adam?
Chloe got really pissed at Billy for getting close to his daughter Delia. Any opinions? (that's all I know).

OHio - Sat Jul 23 08:28:33 MDT 2011

Hi everyone....
Never saw Y&R today. Mom was taken to the hospital last night after a short visit to ER for some breathing problems and dizziness.
After a barrage of tests (y'all know what they're like right?) it was discovered that, for one thing, Mom had too low blood pressure from a combination of z**** for water gain and lisinopril for high blood pressure. And at this hospital, which they're going to close in two weeks, they were about search for possible blood clots in the right leg. The latter brings her pain (I think because it's intrusive); I wondered why the measure wasn't done with MRI or something. Then it occurred to me; they're moving this hospital to the new one at Princess Anne.

But boy, was it HOT. 'Bout 104 in the shade. Don't drop an egg, it'll fry right on the spot.
Sorry I missed the show today 'cause looks like it was a good one. Am glad Sam ain't taking crap from Adam. Oh, and maybe Phyllis is pregnant (that's why she's so tight in her dress). Just a thought.

Hi everyone. Keep cool. (sound like a hippy?)
Yes, I too hope Billy heard everything his sweetheart Vickie said over his bed;
and I also hope sly Victor's plans to introduce him to the hooker are found out
by both Billy and Victoria. If in fact he did orchestrate the car's failure I hope Billy is vindicated. (Yeah but it's Victor and this is a soap). Wait and see I guess.

Yesterday evening I just keyed in "new science fiction" into Bing and got posters for old and new science fiction movies and TV shows. Entertaining stuff. Saw "Robbie the robot" (who knows where that's from?), Dr. Who, Star Trek stuff, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and more.

I finally sweated today, it was that hot. I don't usually. Medications you know. It got to 93 today but felt like 104; tough on Mom and I didn't have enough water. Rising later in the week, but I guess you all know that.

Y&R was pretty good 2day: Billy proved he never touched drop, and Abby confessed to her step dad (y'know, ah.....Tucker). Victor cut down Diane by bringing up her collusion with Adam. Any comments you all have on today's story? I think Billy's moving out of the story.

Hot up here as well! Went camping Friday night on the coast after stopping to see Fireman's mom for her 83 b day. Quiet little campground surrounded with pines and it got so chilly on Friday night I was fighting Fireman for the sheet and comforter thinking,"I should get a blanket"! I did the next night!

Sat. we saw our oldest with her boyfriend and then went out to eat before going to L L Beans for one of their summer concerts,two of the girls who used to be with The Dixie Chixs,now going by Courtyard Hounds.

Sunday we went out to lunch with Fireman's sister and her son in law, nice lunch till we came out and discovered one of the truck's tires was flatter than a pancake! Fireman did a quick tire change (in the over 90 degree heat on the hot asphalt) and then off (thanks to our oldest daughter who got us tickets for my birthday and our anniversary) to see Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Jarrod Niemann, The John Deer Girls, Eden's Edge, and Sunny Sweeney in Scarborough, Maine. Had a great time although it was hot.Back home today and getting ready for a thunder storm.

It is Victor's nature to make Billy look bad no matter how he does it. I further think it's in his nature to see anyone's bad qualities more than their good ones, and if he does point out anyone's good qualities, either in business or personal, it is only because he wants to....for his own benefit.
If I'm wrong in this assessment correct me.

va bch - Thu Jul 14 19:35:48 MDT 2011

Hi gang.
Missed Y&R today but heard some of what happened today.
Diane was poorly dressed (or misthreaded, if I may). She's been portraying the bad bitch lately; never wanting to go down without taking someone with her. As we saw with her attempts to take down Adam a few days ago, after he somewhat 'escorted' her out of his life (remember? "Do unto others before...")
But what I heard was on yesterday's ep was pleasing (if not surprising) to hear. That Victoria stood in Billy's corner defending him before the court on behalf of Lucy and her adopted "father". He truly has been a good father to her (more than we know Daniel would). Certainly more than Phyllis.
We all know by now: temperatures have dropped to the 80's and with a brisk breeze making it real enjoyable.
Well, the Dwight D. Eisenhower and her flight ready group are landing at Norfolk Naval Base tomorrow. Planes are landing now. It's been almost six to eight months. Look at the news.

Since you mentioned drivers, Toots. Some of the drivers here a wannabe NASCAR drivers. Some pull up inches behind you, as if you're not going fast enough, only to meet the same stoplight ahead. I understand base employees always try to get to work on time, but the solution to everyone is clear. Other drivers saw the sign, "No Stop On Red before a Right Turn" (a boon for sign painters years ago) so they don't stop at all before making a right turn on red. We've seen glass shattered at those corners plenty of times (guess why?). New Yorkers fail the road test if they fail to do that. I remember. Other infractions like changing two lanes at once with no signal, running red lights, no headlights after twilight, and others make us think sometimes these are just farmers, small town country drivers in this big city of Virginia Beach. And they're all genders, all ages. Eyes r everywhere.

RC:What a shame to have things like that happen!! that plus the heat had to be a hard time for you both. The drivers here in Ohio are terrible especially the younger girls. They are so busy eating, drinking or on their phones or just plain not paying attention. People run red lights,no one wants to wait for anything!! When the light turns green I always wait a minute to make sure some one is not trying to run a light. GRRRRRR The weekly paper is most always about young people with accidents NOT us seniors..LOL

Ohio - Tue Jul 12 17:19:56 MDT 2011

Toots, This has been an almost unbearable day. I've been sore mostly near the right hip and my mom nearly had heat stroke. We had to bring our Cube to Nissan for body work (details later) while securing another Cube for rental. It is chocolate brown (almost black) so it is very hot when entered. Ours, or hers, is Caribbean Blue.
What happened is, in Walmart parking lot a Toyota drove in between two parked cars, as we were driving down the lane, and hit us. The left wheel well bumper was hit leaving a removal of a small bit of paint. No extensive damage. The driver was the son of an army officer stationed nearby and did not know how to drive the STANDARD SHIFT in order to stop it (he shouldn't have been driving it yet if you ask me). Well, that's the story.

Speaking of story, folks. today's was a doozy. Victor went face to face with both Sharon and later Sam. After Sharon was incarcerated and escorted, Victor invited Sam to stay in GC. Though I don't see how that's probable since Sam is the only veterinarian in his town. That's not fair.
Adam set up a trap for himself by kicking Diane out. She's making preparations for Adam's appearance before the judge.
Think Billy's gonna lose his marriage and Lucy? Forgone conclusion.

Hi, everyone.
This sudden arrival of Sharon back in GC is now fodder for Phyllis' keyboard; and "lover" Nick knows it (as he begrudgingly lets her keep typing). But how does Sharon's incarceration affect King Victor's stock value? She's no longer part of the Newman industry. Adam though is now elated that all his suspicions turned out true (yet I don't know about the romantic outcome).

I don't suppose I have to ask your opinions on the Casey Anthony trial. But if you all have anything to say I think we have room here.

rc--the black lady from the restaurant Sharon stopped at after the car jacking recognized her but couldn't remember where from and the cop thought he did too...could not remember...but, the ragged guy that tried to carjack the black lady recognized and told the cops she was Sharon Neuman. They showed a very small clip of the raggedy guy telling the cop and state trooper who she was...if you blinked you might have missed it, it was so quick.
Can't wait to see what comes of it now that Sam will find out she has been deceiving him too.

Hi everyone.
Adam is really broken up over his memories, and maybe just as much over his mistakes which broke up people's lives.
And if he knew Sharon was really alive....
BTW, as Sharon gets cuffed by the cops all her hopes for a new life go up in smoke, so to speak. Who was it that noticed her anyway?
I thought, "Oh no not again. Nick and Phyllis working together on the mag they started. Only took a short time....they're pressing flesh on the desk, except they're dressed. But that may not last long.
Smilin' Jack is disappointed again. His sister's got the hots for Tucker who got the reins on Jack's company.

Yeah I love how Devon goes and writes his music and comes back all concerned. Why does he have to be Lilly's great protector? It feels like they are all in love with Lilly. Daniel again is in no position to judge. I think Cane and Phyllis should form a friendship. Phyllis would understand because she would understand making a difficult and unpopular decision to protect the ones that you love. It would also make Lilly jealous. Cane should file for divorce and see if that snaps Lilly out of it. Him begging and pleading his case is not going to work. He just needs to move on. I think it sucks that Lilly is keeping him from his kids and he is not putting up a fight, he needs to file for joint custody. All he needs is Leslie or Michael Baldwin and he would have a case.

And what is Deacon doing? He is just a slime ball? Did he not learn his lesson from teaming up with Maggie? Why is he still on the show? He has no purpose. Is Abby ever going to grow up? Uggh some of these characters. Adam get a life and stop trying to one up your dad. You started this entire mess.

CLGIL77 - I can't help but agree with you. Everyone ought to lay off Cane. Give the guy a break. I think he could've stayed dead and left for Australia, but when I think of that I remember he had a death notice on him there so he had to stay. Besides his father wanted the kids and Cane wouldn't have it. So here he is in GC and Lily's family is on his case. Give him a break. As you said daddy especially is no moral example (look at what his brother's gonna have to deal with).

So it seems like they are doing the same stories this summer as they did last summer. Usually, Y&R is more fast paced than it is right now. IT seems anti-climatic. I see that today that Devon is going to read Cane the riot act. If I were Cane, I would probably go off on them and tell them to make their judgments about me and get the hell out of my face. He should just move on. The Winters family are nothing but holier than thou self-righteous hypocrites. Devon and Neil are just mad because they have no lives of their own. Both Devon and Neil are cheaters so they have no room to judge and if I were Cane I would bring that up. Just tired of that story. Cane needs a break. If I were him, I would leave Lilly alone. Cane needs an ally on the show. Someone who will show him mercy. I think Jill will be the first to come around. Daniel needs to stay out of it too, after all didn't he and Lilly break up because of his addiction to porn? So he is really in no position to judge Cane either. Hypocrites!! I don't agree w/ what Cane Did but damn! He thought he was doing the right thing.

So Nick is back at Restless Style and Victoria is back at Newman..predictable and already done. Why did Sharon go through all that trouble to write Sam her memoirs only to tear them up. What a waste. Sam needs to run for the hills! Sharon is too dramatic and trouble.

AJ from IA: :You are so right. It would be sad and strange to see Nick bedding with Phyllis again, and strange that he'd become the "uncle Nick" to Lucy. A real shame about the eclectic couple, Vicky and Billy. But Billy made his own bed unfortunately and that's that; unless he changes. But no matter what Victor won't be happy.

Speaking of Victor, his relationship with Adam is showing signs again of acrimonious enmity.

Well it seems we cut a few years and a few leaves of absences out of the Nick/Sharon life. I seem to remember a few other adventures they both had in those missing years. IT was a nice compendium of their screen time together though. Sharon and the vet are a nice couple. HE seems like such a good guy.I think Adam has been a good actor, but I still don't trust this person, I hate the Adam character. He's not one bit loveable. scary and dark.

Watched Y&R today. Sharon's recollections and adjoining letter to Sam clarified a lot of stuff for us viewers who may have forgotten all that happened to her before she got to Sam's "chicken shack". But sadly, she tore it up when she finished. Like I said often before, it's best for Sharon to begin a new life all over again.

Am currently watching the July 4th Celebration from Macy's in good ol' New York City. Some of the best fireworks. I met one of the fireworks owners about 25 years ago.

That was encouraging news from Ms. Bell of Y&R that Melody Scott Thomas is not written off altogether but will someday return. Well, a character being in rehab would I guess. Good. I was also glad she spoke so well of Ms. Thomas.

Again, I didn't see much of today's ep, but what I did see showed a clear ending for Billy's marriage as he spoke with a bookie and then had a drink. Also saw Sharon's submission to Sam's passion for her. I had said on the Y&R Twitter page I didn't prefer that but....I'm not the writer. Maybe as I mentioned earlier this week, Sharon could start a new life here with no one in GC the wiser.
But Adam stretching his tentacles out to Noah was just a really low means to get back at people like the Newmans.

June 19 EW.com posted this news about Melody Thomas Scott:

Encouraging news for fans of Nikki Newman, aka Melody Thomas Scott, who Tweeted earlier this month that she’s off The Young and the Restless and doesn’t know when she’ll be back on the CBS drama. The drama’s head writer told the press Sunday at the Daytime Emmys that Scott’s absence from the show isn’t as bad as it looks.

“Melody is phenomenal. Of course she will be [with the show] again,” said Maria Bell, who answered questions from the press backstage at the Daytime Emmys Sunday after her staff won for writing the drama. “She’s in a story line where she left town but she will be back. We love Melody. She’s one of the hearts and souls of Young and the Restless. Don’t be worried. She will be back.”

Scott tweeted that her last tape date was April 28 and that she had not received scripts since then, nor had she heard from Y&R.

I know each of us seems disgruntled with current goings on with Y&R stories, and well understood. They are moving along, though.

Tucker is coming around but he appears to have logical perception problems from his coma. He said nothing makes sense even though he can read it; and he's pissed at his mom. Wonder if he remembers getting married?
Katherine disagrees, but Victor's argument in favor of dropping the Abby trial is that "....and Tucker's alive now." His argument is rational but Kate wants vindication somehow. Her expression seemed to say, "What if it was your child?"

Going to boarding school, having Victor as a role model, someone who would crush anyone who got in his way, parents that divorced a dozen times, married other people, had a multitude of affairs, boozing step mother...now THAT would have set him right!!!

And......if Billy and Victoria were reasonable, mature adults, they would accept losing Lucy and go about adopting a baby legally. With that kind of money (Three billion dollars for Gods sake!!) they could go through a LEGAL private adoption and bypass the long wait. Or they could adopt a Russian, Asian, etc. baby. To just throw up their hands because things didn't work out EXACTLY the way they wanted...is so childish.

Good parents always do what's best for their children. Giving Reed to Victoria to make her feel better would be totally wrong. He's not a toy to be passed back and forth. He has a good life with JT and Mac who are a solid family, where he has a new brother. Victoria has admitted she's not maternal, she had a nanny when she wasn't even working. What Billy did was illegal...he loves his children but not enough to grow up himself. Why would JT toss Reed into that mess.

Almost funny how Neil is self-righteous even in the face of having done something horrendous. Cheating soap people always have the most lame excuse...as if they had nothing to do with it....it just happened. Who would be reassured by that? If it just happened before...it can "just happen" again.

Maybe Lilly will give Cane a break considering her upstanding citizen father can screw up royally too.

LadyBug: Liked what you said today. Didn't think too much of the history of soaps declining because of OJ's trial (but as I saw it when I came home on afternoons it seemed to be the only thing on, so I understand now), yet their decline is not surprising. Though I'm not the best sample of a giver, you're statements re the rich giving to hospitals, etc was good. But "Give and it shall be given to you" still rings true.

Interesting little tidbit. The popularity of soaps first started to decline during the OJ trial. People realized that reality is more interesting than fiction...as they watched capitivated for hours as a white Bronco slowing went down the highway. Soaps have gone downhill since then and with the Casey Anthony trial...they are probably done. Watching the daytime Emmys, so many catagories gave two awards...as if it was the last chance. The whole show was about charity work which is good since watching the rich and famous getting their egos stroked is no longer entertaining. I've always been annoyed when someone wins and they thank God...as if God lets small children starve, get sick, etc...yet he's going to make sure that so and so gets his precious award!!

rcsmiley and everybody else I have to say this Give me a break and Vancouver people a break. We had over 100,000 fans downtown watching the game. A few dozen or more came armed with with kerosene tucked into backpacks, others molotiv cocktails, all the stuff you need to celibrate?? The plan was in place for their party win or lose. The Canuck jersey was a way to blend in. They insignated the riots and then the "mob" mentality kicked in. The mayor was so wrong not to have enough cops in place. He F'd up big time What no tv coverage has said the next day hundred's of people came to clean up the mess....city planning...zero...city heart 100

Pinkie, we are so glad to hear that the Mister is doing well! Tell him to take care.

Just a note to wish a few belated birthday wishes to : Claude on the 10th, emelie on the 17th and to kko Happy Belated Anniversary on the 5th (I believe) and I "think" it was your 46th.Congratulatons and best wishes to all of you.

Had a great time on our two week two day vacation. Stopped in Conn. and visted old friends,went to D C for a couple of days (loved the National Cathedral,and Arlington Cem. was beautiful with all the flags for Memorial Day), saw June and her hubby in VA, went to Dollywood (really nice)and visted with Charlie and family, went to Independence Hall and saw the Liberty Bell and visted with Frances in PA.
On to Memphis and Beal Street, Graceland, rode on a real trolley for a whole .50cents for 45 minutes,saw the National Civil Rights Museum, crossed into Mississippi and then into Arkansas over the great Mississippi River where we visted a friend of mine I hadn't seen in about 10 years who went to school with me from first till 12th and then her children went to school with mine. We paid them a suprise visit and loved their reactions when they opened the door.
Went on up to Missouri to Branson, saw Laura Ingalls Wilder's home where she wrote her eight Little House on the Prarie books, then on to Illinois to see the Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library, his home and etc, the museum was great, saw the Gateway to the West Arches in St. Louis. Drove thru the Ozarks, farm fields, Indiana, and onto Ohio to visit with Toots and her wonderful family and then on to Amish area of Ohio and into New York where we went to Lake Erie, Niagra Falls, Jamestown (Lucy Museum, her home and grave), visted Fireman's aunt and uncle in Syracuse, onto Vermont thru NH and home. We saw a lot, covered 17 states and hated to come home.

I hope it's not too early to write. It's 17:35 here on the East Coast.

Shoe: What is it with Vancouvans. They ravage the town because the Canouks lost the cup to Boston. C'mon they sound as bad as the soccer fans in So. America (I know its the same type of game, but cheeesh).
Any way.....

Daniel really railed into his mom for her selfish obtainment of Lucy from, as he noted, the people who really cared for her. Let's applaud Daniel for this (sigh, I know it's only a soap).

The Vic tossed Diane's butt out of the ambulance while Adam gloated over his stock purchases, discarding Diane's interest in the scheme. She feels very alone, apparently. Especially since Nick also rejected her.
I think today's theme is selfishness.
And Jack. If Jack only knew what the woman "courting" him (while he gloated over his recent stock advancements) was really like. We'll see. Right?

Everyone have a great weekend.

With regards to a stroke - Diane went over to Victors to tell him that she was with child, only to fake pains - whereas the ambulance was called - Victor goes outside to help the paramedics, while Diane gives Victors phone a bath... While they are in the ambulance, Adam creates a story about Victor having a stroke, and cannot be contacted because his phone is 'clean'... Since his company needs him, his impending doom drives the price of the IPO down to where Jack is waiting to buy...

At the end of today's episode someone, I think Jack, said something astounding after being on the cell phone while fiddling on his laptop over Newman stocks. Did someone have a stroke? Oh...do tell.

We all know philanthropic Phyllis wants Daisy to have custody of Lucy purely for her own benefit (and not really Daniel's). It's almost disgusting. Ah, but Michael stood his ground, as did Rafe. If only Lauren could've been there, eh? (To say her piece)

clgil: Actually, they didn't want to bring Cane back. Fans campaigned to get him back. In fact they flew planes with skywriting. Here we thought they didn't listen to fans. If they had to do some quick thinking to get him back, the twin brother would have been enough. Having Cane "haunt" Lilly was just plain stupid.

Yup...Neil got his brothers fiance pregnant...he has no right to judge anyone. I have more respect for characters who know they've done bad things and own up to it...rather than those who are as bad as others but act like they have the moral high ground. Jack for example...he's an unethical sleaze ball who thinks his quivering lip makes him a good guy.

Nikki is gone for good. Contract dispute, she wanted too much money. I actually think they brought on Genie Francis as a Nikki type person for Victor. Someone strong and mature. In the meantime there will be stuff between her and Jill...but I think ultimately it will be her and Victor.

lady bug
- Tue Jun 14 15:33:30 MDT 2011

clgil77 - Oh yes. The Cane crucifixion, if you will, is indeed redundant. It's like, in Lily's and Neil's eyes, Cane's dug a hole that he can't get out of. He's branded bad, wrong, evil, and "too late" no matter what he does or says. 77, I agree he ought to post a separation for them both so she can cool off and maybe get her head together. But writers, let's not wear this thing out in a long braided story,

Speaking of braided story, Sofia's pregnancy is another soap in itself. You know the saying, "What goes around, comes around." Well, Malcolm is gonna get his for stealing or screwing with Neil's wife (remember how Lily came about?) - Gee hope I got that right - Well, if you all heard, Sofia's fetus is Rh- and if the daddy is Rh+ she's got los problemos; and if the daddy's Neil....well y'all know the rest.

LASTLY, It was really neat how Lady Katherine laid into Colin today. As she said, "No one cared if you lived or died before this, and if you ever step a foot in my house again, I'll see that no one will know if you lived or died." (or something to that effect). And how Kate defended Jill was really sweet.

Oh yes...Genie Francis' performance today was fantastic. especially as she draped herself over her daughter's murder scene.
rcsmiley
Va Bch, VA - Tue Jun 14 13:26:54 MDT 2011

So the same old same old again. Cane gets busted and everyone in Genoa City (who has made mistakes as well) is branding him with the Scarlett Letter. Neil has no room to talk. He needs to give Lilly space and let her decide for himself. I disagree with what Cane did but I guess I am more understanding. If I were Cane, I would file for separation and just leave for a while. Give Lilly space and time and MAYBE she will come around. There should have been a better way of bringing the character back than this. The "EVERYBODY HATES CANE" story is getting redundant. It is getting to be a bit much.
What do you all think of this? Since Nikki is off the canvas for a while, what do you think of Geneveve and Victor hooking up. It would be something different for Victor. From what I hear, she is a very powerful woman. It would give Victor a run for his money. She would not be intimidated by him. She would not back down to Victor's kids or Nikki herself. I always said Victor needed a Lady McBeth. I think those two would be perfect together. She reminds me of Kate Roberts from Days Of Our Lives.

seattle - Mon Jun 13 21:49:28 MDT 2011

Gee, is it too early to write this? No one added so far.
Anyway, I thought Cane's explanations to Lily for his actions were kinda lame. I wrote this on Twitter, that I also thought he should've given more details, and not just the stuff Lily already knows about herself.

But Genvieve is one tough cookie. Maybe a little on the obsessive/nuts side, yet keeping Colin on his toes, so to speak ( he looks a mess doesn't he?). Seeing Cain kissing butt is kinda sad, though (I know some of you don't think so).
What's sadder is the prospect that Billy and Victoria could still lose Lucy. But I hope the murmurings of Phyllis is silenced somehow (even her son doesn't favor her anymore). My hope is that Daniel gets his daughter and legally puts her for adoption (for Vicky and Billy to get).
Well, everyone have a great week. - rc

AJ
IA - Sun Jun 12 05:24:23 MDT 2011

Like you all, I thought today's show was terrific; Speeding to its smashing conclusion. Finally.
But one of the things that drove me nuts was....
Why NOW did they allow someone to find Cane's hidden letter and by Neil, not his daughter Lily (to whom it was written); and after all that time. Cheeesh.

The face - off between Genevieve and Colin was long awaited, I'm sure by many. And maybe the long trip off the balcony will be....well tune in next week folks.

Yes, Victor's gushing for his children is endearing. What he said to Phyllis was award winning (I though anyway) and gave her the cold sendoff she needed. What do y'all think will happen to Phyll ? Even her own son gave her that cold blank stare. That was indeed very appealing. We all know of course her concern for her son's daughter is purely for her own benefit.

Next week for all of us here is, I think, a must see. Despite everyone's criticisms over the actors and the scripts. Oh, by the way, I think the reason Melody Thomas isn't kissing Victor on the lips is 'cause she's a born again Christian. I might be wrong, but that's my suspicion.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Great show today in US. Would you have kicked Colin's fingers with your foot? He almost fell in the first place. She seems like she wanted to finish him off. Since Jill and Gen are both on contract as is Colin, I guess he'll be around to kick around anyway,and Jill and Gen will be fighting with him and for him?

Lily was amazed to see Cane, but won't she be mad he's put her thru this?

Anyone read news about Melody's contract?
I like how kind Victor's been to the kids. He's always attentive when Nikki's gone. Did anyone notice when Nikki left he never kissed her on the lips? He always kisses all his other wives on the lips, but rarely Nikki.

Jam, glad they figured out your Dizzy Behavior. They can't seem to figure mine out, wink wink. We have a friend with a shunt. They found that magnetic areas such as automatic doors in the stores can cause the shunt to dislodge. You might look into it from time to time and stay away from Magnetic places. I guess that means never hanging out in Sedona AZ where there's some sort of magnetism convergence.

""totally off-center". Finally found out my brain shunt pressure had somehow dropped alot. So I was dizzy, falling down, anxious, but also sluggish- just all weird. I had it adjusted by the neurosurgeon last Mon. and now almost back to normal (MY normal, haha.)
FYI - I just read this in a HSN e-mal update. On June 21-22 they will Premeire the Jabot Cosmetics Line, and the first host from Y&R will be Tracey Bregman. It's funny, yet I guess an inventive way for the Show to make more money, huh?
I hope the Jabot Line has some Miracle lotions and potions to drop 20 years off my face and neck - and FAST. I'll be first in line!!

Y&R: I'm surprised to say that Genie Francis is doing a great job with her role -IMO. But that whole storyline about Cane/Caleb/Collin is soooo freaking unbelievable. Especially that the supposedly intelligent Lily has been duped by this Ghostly Cane.

But good ol' Kevin is somehow stepping in to help.

Until last night after a day of a stomach ache that only got worse through the day and after much prodding Mr P finally agreed to go to the ER .. He has been admitted for a bowel obstruction , no word how bad a GN tube( gastric nasal tube ) was inserted I wont even tell you how bad that was ...used to drain stomach content to rest the stomach & Intestines but they are going to keep him on IV's for a while...
So the poor dear is miserable I have to go to work and Ive been at the ER for 6hrs .. This to shall pass..^ g ^ ..

I think Lily is behaving right into the hands of Colin and son, who want her put into the loony bin, just so Colin could have possession of the children. Why doesn't she wake up from her mourning reverie to see who's pulling her strings? It's not Cane, dead or alive.

But the Lily story is driving me nuts. I mean, can't she tell by the way he kisses that he's not Cane? Sure she's still in mourning - fantasy but...cheeesh.
Then the Kevin story. The bookie or whatever he is is leaving town? Just like that? If Kevin, Chloe, and nutty know so much about him what does he have over them to stop them from talking?
C'mon writers, wrap this stuff up.

clgil77- Maura West then deserves better work. Like you I thought she did fine as Diane, too young or not. Her verbal and spacial expressions were I think great. But if people want to compare her with the original Diane, Well that's a waste of time
and
AJ - I agree that Nina seems too attached to Chance. He made his choice. He wants to be a soldier, and feels useless apart from his chosen profession. For some in military this is a normal state of mind, however arguable. But on a practical end he could transfer his talents to a leadership role at some service industry as a hospital or some other career. My uncle was a Lt. Col. (Ret.) but was a leader in the volunteer council at a local hospital. It was typical of his personality, I might add.

1. Waaaaaaaaaaaay too much time spent on Chance/Nina today...wah, wah, wah...sure I'd hate to see my son leave but come on...

2. If there was any shred of Phyllis I liked - dead after what she pulled today. She cares about nothing and no one but her self. That she would risk that nut-ball Daisy getting any kind of say with that baby just to further her own agenda...unforgivable. Hope she loses Lucy and Daniel for good.

Oh yeah and props to Daniel for questioning her parenting - like she has a right to question anyones morality on any front. Geez!
AJ
IA - Wed May 25 17:50:27 MDT 2011

And I'm sorry, Nina is TOO ATTACHED to her son. She is very clingy. I am glad I don't have a mother like that. She needs to get a life. She acts like Chance is her man or something. Yeah, of course she doesn't want her son to get deployed but she would be acting that way if he moved 30 minutes away. She is too dependent on him. What mother plans a surprise get away for her and her son at that age? She is acting like Chance is her husband or something. And blaming Heather? Please. Paul is not going to have that. Nina is so into Chance that she is going to blow her chances with Paul. Geez some of these characters need to really get a life. Nina, Jack, Devon, Olivia have all given Emmy winning performances. (Nina and Jack have even won them). Now they have been reduced to whining, babbling babies living vicariously through other people. Please give Nina a decent story like she had back in the day. Maybe she can become involved in the Lucy baby story since Penrose is connected to Rose Deville. That would be great for Nina.

Why doesn't Adam just get over trying to screw it to Victor? He started all this mess in the first place. If he had never gotten power hungry when Victor was presumed dead and then try to frame his dad for murder and then all of the crap w/ Sharon's baby and Then trying to gaslight Ashely he would not be in the predicament he is now. Why is he still trying to get under Victor's skin? Get over it. Jack, Adam, and Dianne need to go join the "Bitter Till The End" club. I am sick of Jack and Jabot. GET OVER IT. I hope Kay does give it to Victoria. However, if Vicki did get it she would get another NANNY.
I agree Sophia is getting on my nerves. She had a lot of potential. I think they were trying to make her too much into Dru at first and it just did not work. She needs a major rewrite. The whole "evil twin" story is another one of them soap cliches that are redundant. Try something else.
I read that Dianne or Maura West, the actress who plays Dianne has been fired. No more information has been given. I like the Maura West, but her acting was not honored by playing Diane Jenkins. She was too young for the role. It just did not work. She deserves a new role created just for her.
clgil77
- Wed May 25 12:37:24 MDT 2011

AJ - You're right. They could have done better with Sophia's character; if not her appearance, which is ok, but her personality, which adds question to her character's character, makes her unpleasant to watch because you're always wondering what's up her sleeve.

Didn't we all expect Phyllis to stick her scrawny nails in the works of Daniel handing over Lucy to Billy and Vicky? You could see her peering thru the window as Daniel promised to bring the paperwork over to finalize the deal. But I guess that's why he's asked to move upstairs.

Toots : David : You both have asked the question of the year - "How long?"
Typical of this show, Y&R's stories seem to go on and on. Maybe that's because writers have trouble thinking up conclusions to the disastrous lives of the characters. Exemplifying this is Ashley's burdening life. There are others, of course. But like you all might say, 'Come on, already!'
One other thing. How long do you think it'll be 'til Lily finds Cane's letter behind the living room end table? The letter, as you might know, explains how his father is a bad man and should not be trusted.

Anyone else getting tired of Sophia? I groan when I see her on screen anymore. They sure could have done more with her characater.

I do hope Tucker wakes up sooner than later. Kay's all about protecting him....but nixes the NE stock buy up...still more concerned with Vic's interest there...good job mom - NOT.

Evil Cane - a little too amped up to wack the whole family - almost like he was high - creepy - but not in the way I think they were going for. All he needed was a random head twitch today.

Don't look at them much, but today saw a spoiler of Y&R showing that Genie Francis is gonna finally show up on Friday or something. Maybe she'll distinguish the twins apart (if she is the mother). More important, I think, is that Lily finds the note behind the end table, left behind by Cane.

VaBch, VA - Fri May 20 11:25:06 MDT 2011

Just a question:
Is it a surprise to anybody we're seeing "Cane" show up again?
Honestly, at first, months ago, I had brief suspicions that after friends carried Lily away from the murder scene, people carried the "dead" body of Cane away to a safe place (because his evil father wanted the kids). Occasionally, as you know, Cane would show up different places (and freak out Lily), and then today we see the two of them keeping warm in bed one afternoon. "Wait a minute, I thought he...." we all want to say.
Now we see as Colin is speaking to him do you wonder, 'Is this really Cane or his TWIN?'
I have my assumptions, But what about you? Please write.
rcsmiley
VaBch, VA - Thu May 19 17:18:26 MDT 2011

SPOILER ALERT:
So I figured it out early on in the episode today that Colin was up to no good and when the twins "saw" Cane, that something was up. When Colin began to talk to Neil I knew he was up to something and BAM. So do you all think that this is a dopplegager or Cane's twin brother? Let's see evil twin or look a like, hmmmm that has never been done on Y&R before.
Having said that Y&R is definitely on top of the game. Every episode is climatic for the most part, and they are trying to stay #1. The other soaps as I am watching a few are snoresville. I am watching one right now and have changed the channel twice because it is so boring. If they continue to write like this for this show, it will follow the footsteps of AMC and OLTL

I disagree with the comments on Dianne. Dianne knew what she was getting into marrying Victor. Lets not act like her motives were pure, she has always been a gold digger. Also Victor was ready to cancel the annulment but then he heard Dianne lying about Ashely intended to run over Tucker in an act of revenge. Dianne has slept with Victor's son, and Victor's enemy. Victor was wrong with sleeping w/ Nikki too but Diane has been doing this all along. She knew what she was getting into here. After all, she was married to Victor before. I understand wrong is wrong but lets not make Diane into a heroine like say Lilly cause she is no heroine. Then Jack blaming Victor for the accident? Typical Jack. Tucker was not even in the hospital for two hours and he is already wondering about Jabot. GET OVER JABOT Jack. Get OVER your hatred for Victor. Move on w/ your life.

Welcome back Jam...you and your snarky posts been missed.

I agree with you on most everything except...I love Tucker. So he had sex with Diane...who hasn't??? He's an aggressive businessman...who isn't??? The Newman kids nearly destroyed their father's company, yet Katherine didn't want to "crush them". A mother making a remark like that makes me shudder. So harsh and cold. She wants to destroy her own son for Victor who's business and personal manipulations have caused people to die!!! Most recently Skye is dead and they think Sharon is dead and Victor doesn't have an inkling of guilt!! Victor and Jack were responsible for Colleen's death, they have tried every which way to destroy each other, they've each had sex with every woman in town that they were not related to...yet they have Katherine's loyalty...I question her sense of judgment. Anyway......

I hope no one died as a result of Abby's stupidity. Too much death on the show.

After having very huge gardens most of my life, I now have a container garden and LOVE IT! The joy of gardening without constantly having to fight the weeds. I mostly have herbs and some tomato, green pepper and eggplant. I live in a city that has 20+ farmers markets so I take advantage of that.

As for Abby, I hope not, but knowing her condition at the wheel.....well it's an unfortunate casualty. However, as for Tucker, if he's part of the tire tracks, so be it. (That was horrible. Sorry.) I'm sure we'll all feel bad for Katherine.

We bought a Russian basil, some lime basil, a forsythia, and some really deep burgundy dahlias. We haver 2 big container gardens -one on the deck and one in the side yard.

Can't wait for Monday's show to see if Tucker is 'road kill'. or will that bratty little Abby bite the dust, so that Daniel and Chloe can raise their 'girls' together? Hey -it could happen.
(I'm just so glad Jana is gone, I almost did a little Happy Dance, yah know? She was way beyond freaky.)

Toots, Mary Beth - Yes, and that's why Daniel was glad when he found out the baby was living with Victoria and Billy. AND that's also why he's arguing so much with his mom (Phyllis) over her claims for "family" membership, 'cause he doesn't want Lucy. I hope he wins the argument and Lucy gets re -turned to Billy and Vicky.

The wedding of Ashley to Tucker going full steam with everyone else non the happier, while meanwhile Abby appeases both by her arrival from near incarceration. And what d'ya think of Jack holding on to the family ideal of Jabot being his father's legacy? I think he ought to let it fall into a corporation and just start new.

Y and R is as predictable as one would guess, but I'm glad Michael, Victor, and Nikki are standing up to Phyllis. Everyone seems to know her biggest concern for Lucy is for her own interest and feelings, not the child's. Daniel knows this as well.
Hey gang, how about how Diane took a picture of Victor and Nikki doing it? Doesn't she have any scruples? Apparently not.

Mary, thank you. I told my mom your wishes; but she knows little about this Chatbook, except from what I told her of things I read sometimes.
The dinner was great by the way. But the a High Blood Pressure moment occurred afterwards. The Nissan Cube was towed from the spot around the corner (where I suggested she not park; but with the handicap sticker we figured, "Why not?") I paid for the taxi to get there, and mom paid for the car's release from the pound ($125 !), and we went home exhausted. Well, that was Mother's Day.

BTW, Adam's in Nick's place and Kev is charged with homicide, along with Chloe, for the Nutty One's death.

Chloe has REALLY bad judgement...doesn't think before acting. How could she not know that reporting Billy would not wreck havoc. He is the father of her child and he did learn his lesson. Stupid #2 going to where Kevin and Jana were without calling the police.

Yep...Victoria's hair upstages her!! Like I said before, she's not the best actor so she needs "costume" to help relay emotions. Big messy hair and frown means she is very upset even if she can't squeeze out a single tear. Big messy hair and giggling...means she's being sexy.

Wishing all Moms a happy, wonderful, bright and beautiful...

Like others have said, Tucker's ethic is more like Victor's. Unlike Victor though, I don't like Tucker. He has no one's benefit in mind but his own. But he's a businessman, right?

Well, as we all suspected, Billy and Vicky are gonna lose Lucy. And Phyllis, she's got her nails in the works, and as I said earlier, Ms. P is just interested in regaining some sort of motherhood to replace her losses with Jack. Maybe Daniel knows it. But Billy, he's up against the wall on this one. He knows he did wrong and that upsets him; more upsetting is how this ordeal is affecting Victoria. We all feel for her I'm sure.

Jana? Well, she's got reservations for the loony bin. And soon. Yet for poor Kevin not soon enough. Anyone have input?

I'm the odd man out again...I like Tucker! Yes, had sex with Diane, but he and Ashley weren't engaged, so, considering that the moral standard on Y&R is questionable...big deal. I think he really loves her.

They all lie, they sleep around, they have unethical business practices. Tucker is no different than anyone else. If he's slime, they are all slime.

Regarding Ashley's failed relationships...they ALL have failed relationships. Let's see...Ashley, Nikki and Diane have all been with Victor. Ashley and Nikki have been with Brad. Nikki and Diane have been with Jack. That's just the three men...don't know how many others overlap.

Abby's hysterics get on my nerves.

Thanks David for the breakdown. Ashley and Victor are well on their way to becoming Elizabeth Taylor (rest her soul) of Y&R.
So Diane had a knee jerk reaction to Victor and Nikki today. Can't say she wasn't warned. How many want to bet that she will get pregnant, the baby will be Jack's and she will use it as a tool to keep Victor and Nikki apart. If her and Victor split she would get nothing, so this is what she is going to do. The writing is on the wall. Devon needs to get a life. He is very nosy and self-righteous. Daniel was really close to punching him today.
What was the purpose of Deacon being back today? Is he going to be the new Sam Malone - the bartender that listens to everybody else's problems. Who are they going to hook him up w/ next?
What is the "tragedy" the previews keep talking about in regards to Tucker and Ashley's wedding? Is someone going to die? Jack still on the crusade/obsession Jabot. Even Nikki told him off today about it. Get over it Jack, you will NEVER beat Victor and you need to forget about Jabot. Looks like they will be getting back to the main stories tomorrow with Kevin/Jana Billy/Victoria/Phyllis.

I agree that Ashley is wasting herself on this Tucker fella - here's her marriage recap:

Blade Bladeson (?)1994 - widowed the same year
Cole Howard 1998 - divorced 1999
Brad Carlton 2000 - divorced 2006
Victor July 09 - November 09

RC: Thank you.

Also, why did they recast Malcom? If Shemar Moore was not available (and he wouldn't be, because he is on a prime time hit series)they should have not brought Malcom back. I like Darius McCray but he is not believable as Malcom he is trying too hard. They should have brought him on as new character. Can they give us a new story please? The who is the daddy story is the oldest cliche in the book. Back in the day, this group had some great story lines. I don't know it seems like since Dru left, they kind of stopped writing good stuff for these characters (Neil,Devon, Olivia, and Malcom) they have been reduced to supporting players. The only one that gets a story that is good is Lilly. Neil needs a better story for the length of time that he has been on the show. Another character they leave out constantly is Paul and Jill. They have been reduced to supporting characters too.

Cl - Oh, 77 I so agree with you. You hit the nail on the head 99 times.
Especially regarding good ol' Smilin' Jack. Looks like he's got one ax to grind and it's getting kinda dull. Hasn't he learned he can't do a thing about Jabot? Victor owns it now, and if Jack wastes most of everyone's time (including ours) trying to avenge his adversary he'll just burn up his energy (and just burn up the viewers) doing so. Like you, I think Jack has some of the best lines on this show; his quips always make me smile. But he's got to stop his rage. Have the writers make him smile a little.

Jack's poor sister can't seem to find a good date. Hate 2 think how often she's been married (Victor twice I think). And she's a looker. Writers should fix that.

I agree it would be really sad if Billy and Victoria lost Lucy. She's the only thing making them happy. Hope Vicky doesn't sink into the pill bottle; that would be sad. But Daniel...Daniel has to own up to his actions, Doing that may not clear everyone of wrong, but a least shorten the tale a bit. And Dawn? She probably looks like the next Canadian model (er - she moved to Canada, right?) So if they find her who knows what'll happen.

VaBch, VA - Tue May 3 15:16:51 MDT 2011

How many think this story will have a affect on Victoria's mental health. She looks so fragile right now. That would be a good change of pace for her. She needs to be shaken up a little bit. If she loses Lucy, after losing Reed some type of personal story would be good for her. Maybe since she is Nikki's daughter she could develop a dependency on pills like Nikki once had and Nikki could be the one to recognize that her daughter is having a dependency because she herself is an addict and both could help each other recover I think it would be a good story to play out.
Can Ashely for once find somebody that would be good to her? Why did they break her and Neil up? Tucker is a Victor wanabee so he will break her heart just like Victor did. How many times has Ashely been married now? Its got to be hitting double digits.
If Billy Miller leaves the show, should they recast? I don't think it would be a good idea. Some characters you just can't replace.
clgil77

Today's episode was a bit of a yawn. Does anyone else not like the character of Tucker? I do not like him. He is always trying to get some deal. He is slimy. He is amateur hour compared to Victor. Come on. So Jack is going to go gloat to Victor. Same old, same old. Jack needs to get a life and worry about something other than Victor and sticking it to him. Victor has basically left him alone. Everyone of Victor's actions is a direct result of Jack's actions. Have you all ever noticed that most of Victor's schemes were a counterattack on Jack's schemes? Jack never learns his lesson. Deep down, I think Jack is really just jealous of Victor because despite Victor's persona and his actions, he still gets all the ladies and comes out of trouble unscathed. That bothers Jack. I like Jack, he is one of the funniest characters on the show, but he needs to find a new hobby besides talking to his dad's photo and getting back at Victor. John Abbot was not about sticking it to Victor and Jack knows that. So he needs to stop trying to get back at Victor "in the name of Jabot". Cause now Victor will retaliate because he will believe Jack is responsible for manipulating Abby into selling the stock (which is not true). Jack come on get a life.

The Sofia/Malcom/Neil story is predictable as always. Like it won't come out that Neil is the father. Those actors deserve a better story than this typical "who's the daddy" soap cliche. And Devon needs a story of his own rather then getting always being in someone else's story all the time.

Then, then Jen was surprised when Kev didn't snap out of it. Did she think CHCL3 was just make him blink a few times? She better hope he doesn't die. Actually we all hope that. Frankly, I was disappointed when the cops didn't hear anything in that closet.

The book just builds up so many more of the characters that in the movie you don't really get to know and some things change as they have to squeeze the whole book into a couple of hours. I agree with you that it is a movie to go see.

Phyllis annoys me big time! She acts like she has legal right to the baby. How can she compare herself to Ashley. Ashley had the baby she loved ripped out of her hands. That's exactly what Phyllis wants to do to Victoria. Although those remarks that Victoria made were strange...still, the baby is much better off as an Abbott. Daniel doesn't want to be a father and Phyllis can barely take care of Summer. At least she has Nick to help.

Some funny royal wedding tweets among y&r guys..."Michael" watched from beginning to end obsessively while drinking his coffee in a Will and Kate mug.

That Phyllis, as I thought, is just after legal guardianship of Lucy. She is now livid that Daniel relinquished parental rights to her. She's gonna make everyone's life miserable now (what's new?).

Hi everybody.
Missed Y&R again today. But from what I heard poor Daniel is in the middle of the 'parenthood trap' concerning Lucy, and he's only trying to do the right thing. It appears he has some good people on his side, like Victoria and Billy, and hopefully Abby. But others in this mix are only there to cause problems, especially......

Phyllis I see as a large spoon who exists just to stir up the pot, causing trouble, disappointment, and anger. The other day I thought, if she can find anything to cause problems by sticking her nose in things, she will. Attractive as she is, she annoys the ***** out of me.
Cl - I see your point: if Billy can be less critical of the Vic around his daughter he'd do well. But he's a news man, as it is, and 'trained' to point out faults in his surroundings, yet if he can keep his mouth shut for peacefulness sake the Vic might cool his jets. This I know is contrary to what I wrote the other day but having seen your statement, clgil, this seems good advice for Billy. Oh writers take note, please.
As I said re Sharon, this life as a veterinary PA seems a good one for her, so no looking back. The same for Adam. He's got to find a new channel in his life. Sorry this was too long.

@ RC thanks for the comments, I would like to see Billy and Victor develop a Stephanie and Brook type of relationship on B&B. Billy will never win over Victor if he keeps slamming him. Billy should not dis Victor to Victoria that is never a good way to be. I think that once Victor sides with Victoria in this lawsuit, Billy may soften towards him a little.

What I think will happen:
Phyllis will find herself at odds with everyone in Genoa City including her two exes: Jack and Nick (Nick supports Victoria, Jack supports his brother Billy) her best friend Lauren, and her son Daniel for wanting custody of Lucy. Victor will threaten her. Kevin and Chole will be at odds because Kevin will probably want custody too or he will side w/ Phyllis. Kevin will probably not want Billy raising his niece. Again this story will impact everyone in Genoa City except Sharon and Adam who have no real affiliation with this story, although knowing Adam he could find something in this for him.

Victor will have been right when he told Victoria that Billy will hurt her. Funny, but Billy buying a baby is something Victor would do: Acting he's above the law, like money gives him a sense of entitlement. And Billy making a living by exploiting his wifes family and their problems. Wonder how he would feel about having his picture on the cover of a gossip mag, having his dirty laundry out there for the world to see! But, who knows what will happen. I love when it's unpredictable.

I'm taking into consideration what some have said about not complaining. So, regarding Sharon and Sam: no comment.

In one of Adam, the actors tweets he was asked who Adam's next love interest will be. He said: Sharon's long lost twin sister. Even the actors make fun of the doubles. The actors know that the show needs to make some serious changes if they want to stay on the air.

Great Show Today! This is how Y&R stays #1. I am glad they did not stretch this out and have Jana on the run for like two or three months. Perfect build up to the story and now the fallout of Billy's actions. It shows how while sometimes we have the best of intentions, there are consequences. Now we see the custody battle.and it will involve everyone. I like stories that involve everyone on the show. This will involve The Baldwins, The Newmans, The Abbots, Chancelors and in a way the Winters (as Daniel confided in Lilly first). So this will be good. And as a matter of fact, it may reunite Victor with his children once and for all as he will support his daughter gaining custody of Lucy. I just hope he does not execute his power and cause her to lose like she did w/ Reed.

I think Victoria will learn from this and be a more active mother rather than hiring another nanny. Everything happens for a reason.

We saw some great show 2day didn't we?
Nutty Jenna tried to pull a fast one on the 'eclectic couple' (my term) to assure Kevin's love for her, but it seems she overlooked Kevin's conceptual ability. It appears he saw that Delia's presence just presented bigger problems, of course not to mention the hijacked Lucy. Despite Kev's statements of love and support, one could see his look of concern for Jenna when they hugged. I said, "Yeah, Kev, feed her the lies, string her in like a fish." When she got pissed with the gun, we all saw Kate's prayers being answered as the cops came.
Aren't you all glad this story is going to take weeks to conclude? (Long paragraph, I know).
Will watch the rest on Thursday, and keep in touch tomorrow.

One prediction re: Sharon/Adam - she will hear about his funeral rant and that will piss her off - she can forgive him stealing the baby - but that she won't be able to forgive - ripping into her family like that LOL

Lomg Beach - Mon Apr 25 18:48:08 MDT 2011

Jean and Toots - Yes, I agree. Jack is one of the best actors on that crew at Y&R. His facial and , dare I say, verbal expressions are memorable. Especially the verbal ones. I don't know, frankly, if that's all in the scripts or his own doing but the work is good. And I say the same for Billy; he like Jack can say things w/o a word said.

I think Sharon is going to find her place at Sam's Vet clinic. It'll be a new life for her. I just hope she doesn't try to reconnect with Genoa City anymore. She needs a new life. Take note writers. I sorry i was wrong about the 'puppies'. She was well covered in a new shirt.

Phyllis is just an annoying, bickering person. She can't keep her nose from other's business or her opinions to herself. But maybe that makes the stories interesting.

The Vets name is Sam ...I'm glad he got Sharon some different shoes so she didn't have to shovel dung

I expected him to get her a shirt, but that wouldnt
expose those puppies. He may turn out to be
on probation for something and take a whole new turn in the story line.

Adam is going to get his way, eventually
when Victor softens.

clgil77 - read your post from Friday and agree with you wholeheartedly. Sharon undoubtedly 'needs somebody' to fulfill her somehow. That's why I think that eventually she's gonna latch onto this veterinary guy (er, what's his name?) because he's helping her so much. It won't be healthy, I'm sure; but it'll fulfill a 'two-way street' relationship. He's probably lonely and she needs a new life. What do you think?

I haven't posted since February, but want to thank each and every one of you for the kind words when I was having a difficult time. I apologize for airing my grievances, but sometimes it just bursts out.

I don't want any more soaps cancelled, but unfortunately think they'll all be gone in five years. Do you think cooking shows and talk shows will get better ratings?

@Rosebud,
I think you said it. If people would stop complaining the shows would not be canceled. That is just it. If people are tired of the same stories, they are going to stop viewing. A lot of times some people don't even watch they just read the daily recaps and such. I am not wanting the shows to go but there has to be something done to change the game so they can stay relevant. @ RC: maybe nighttime format is not the best idea but if you look at how those shows continue to reinvent themselves. You know for a while both Grey's and Housewives suffered from a creative slump and the writers found a way to revamp them to make them fresh and current and the viewers they lost came back. That is what the remaining surviving soaps need to do. It is rare that writers and execs listen to fans in regards to stories which is part of the problem.

AJ - I agree that losing the current Billy would be a shame. The Billy/Victoria couple appear to be iconic; sort of like the house they moved into. Their chemistry, as you noted is irreplaceable. So what now folks?

I still think Sharon ought to make this "vetinary assistant" a permanent new life for her. Especially is everyone in GC thinks she's dead. Amen?
rcsmiley
VaBch, VA - Fri Apr 22 20:17:47 MDT 2011

clgil77 - No, I don't think soaps are past their prime, But they all have to change their individual formats. As you said, the same stories repeated different ways by the same or similar people have to change. It gets boring, predictable, and tiring. A sort of "What now...?" reaction comes from viewers mouths and minds (I know mine did); also, "What, again?" In summary, predictability is tiring.
However, am not so sure a nighttime scheduling would help either. Remember "Peyton Place" ? My mom watched it faithfully, even while we were on vacation in Upstate NY. Of course, this argument does not include "Dallas". They still talk about JR. It's just changing times and lifestyles.

- Fri Apr 22 15:32:59 MDT 2011

@ David yeah I agree ABC was wrong for how they handled it.

Think about this:
Remember back in the early 80s when shows like Three's Company, Happy Days, Lavern & Shirley ended and people called it the death of sitcoms? There were a few good shows that started such as Who's The Boss, Growing Pains, and Family Ties, and Cheers, but the ratings were not stellar. It was not until Bill Cosby arrived with the Cosby Show in '84 that helped to renew and refresh the genre. Then the ratings of Growing Pains, Who's The Boss, Family Ties, and Cheers began to improve. Maybe that is what is happening here. Maybe something will come along to innovate the genre. Soaps right now in this economy are becoming too expensive. Think about it, you have over 40 actors on one show being paid big money so think about how expensive that is.

Anyway back to Y&R...I am really tired of Adam's whining over Victor causing Sharon's "demise". Sure, Victor shares some of the blame but the fact of the matter is if Sharon had NEVER gotten back with Adam in New Orleans none of this would have happened. The man stole your baby. Adam NEVER should have gotten back w/ her. #1 it is his brother's ex wife and he was not a good man. So 75% of the blame is on Adam and deep down he knows it. Sharon is like Nikki. She needs someone to constantly validate her and sweep her off of her feet. That is why she is in this mess. I hope while that she is away she really, really finds herself and grows up.

I was listening to an XM morning show, and it was mentioned that part of the problem was the head honcho at ABC daytime had previously said that those 2 soaps were safe - no cancellation, folks - only to cancel them weeks later. BAM!! It was also said that they were losing $$ weekly, and the viewership was at around 490,000 people. They moved AMC to Los Angeles to save money last year - but it was not enough...

I am SURE now when any other soap actor wants to bargain their new contract - they will think real hard.
David
- Fri Apr 22 14:21:00 MDT 2011

Hey guys there are a lot of ABC fans out there being very rude. There is this campaign on facebook to get Oprah to move All My Children and One Life To Live to the OWN network. Oprah has made a statement saying that cannot save the soaps. The fans are attacking Oprah calling her out of her name and attacking others. Crazy folks. We have to understand that entertainment is entertainment. Lets look at in in perspective: Soaps have gone from a 10.3 million viewership to a 1.3 viewership. That is a huge dip. There are a lot of reasons for this (more stay at home mothers working, reality television, shifting interest) but the fact of the matter is, a lot of people have stopped watching. If you think about it if All My Children had been a nighttime show or even a talk show the networks would have canceled the shows a long time ago. That type of dip in ratings are huge money losses to the networks. They gave time for the shows to improve wheras other shows at night would have not been given that chance so I do not think we can really blame the networks it is about making money. Quite simply the shows are not making them any money and it cost a lot of money to produce.

The four remaining soaps (Y&R, B&B, Days, and GH) have got to come up with new strategies to stay ahead of the game. They need to look at the writing of Shondra Rhimes on Greys and PP, and Marc Cherry on Desperate Housewives and see how they keep reinventing themselves. I love Y&R and watch Days too but they have to change the cliches. Love triangles, amnesia, fake deaths, evil twins are a thing of the past. Come up with some new entertaining strategies. Fans are turning them off for more real life situations. The rude fans are not helping their cause by insulting the networks and Oprah. That is not helping matters any. All good things must come to an end. DO you all think soaps are past their prime? Can they be saved? Should they take a rest and comeback in a few years?

shows and there are already too many going.
They talk about Obesity,,,so we sit back and eat instead of complaining about the writer.

I've watched Y&R from the beginning and would not like to see it canceled. Think of all the people that will have to learn to cook.

Oh. I prefer "The Talk" (when I see it) rather than the barb-throwing, interrupting, opinion-filled "The View". I enjoy differences of opinion provided the differences of opinion are allowed to be heard by more than one or two people, and in decorum. I think even within the House's differences each Congressman gets heard properly. Sometimes while the girls are arguing and all speaking at once I want to say (to the TV), "Ah, shutup already!").

As much as I hate Y&R bringing people back to life...I would LOVE to see Cane back. I've always liked him. Another thing I don't like...let's face it, they LIE and deceive (Neil and Sophia are currently lying)...many have done evil things sometimes caused death(permanent death), yet they single out people to be the bad guys and others good when there isn't a difference. Anyway, I like Adam too. He'll be going through a bad time, won't be around much...but at least they're not killing him off.

After all the deaths with Cane, then the Chance false alarm I can't imagine why they'd create yet another false alarm death with Sharon.

Maybe Billy will arrange for Jana to take a long and unexpected trip to who cares where as long as it's not GC.

Why doesn't Kevin hire Paul if he wants to find the baby. He can be so dense.

I hate "The View" wish they'd take that thing off the air. Rarely watch "The Talk" but I'd rather listen to trivia...too much controversy these days sometimes you just need a break. I really like Sharon Osbourne.

I haven't been posting much, but I still check in to scan the posts. Just been busy, and haven't been watching the show daily,I catch up on the CBS recaps and read the spoilers some to keep track of the show and what's going on.

I unlike some have also missed seeing Cane, I hope that perhaps they have decided to bring him back (and not as a ghost). I know that a lot of his fans posting on his Facebook page have been running a campaign (cards, letters, calls, etc)to get him back, even hired a plane to fly over the studio with a banner saying to bring Daniel Goddard back, then they sent a cake decorated with a plane and a banner to the studio.

If I don't post before Easter may I wish each of you who celebrate the holiday a Happy Easter and to everyone a wonderful spring.

Remembering Nurse Connie and Couch. But like the names you mentioned Pink I miss them too. Why don't we see them? Are they maybe as disenchanted with Y&R as some have been describing lately?

I was having a lot of PC problems but hopefully the provider fixed them today. It will be sad to see Y&R leave I have been watching off and on since the beginning. But we could write better I am thinking. One thing I do like about the soap tho is they have a lot of characters that acually make me laugh and they are pretty good with the indendo's(sp)especially when Clo and Heather get in to it. I love Cloey, Heather not so much. They play well off each other tho.

I am wondering how long that "Talk" show will be on CBS. The TV was on after Y&R, and B&B (did you know that "Ridge" is almost 60?), and the "Talk" started. Their dilemma was the lighting in the change rooms of stores, and they shouldn't try on clothes with the make-up on, cause they are cute, and buy too much. Sara Gilbert was obviously told to 'talk' more since she is a boring woman - sorry - and she will burp up any info regarding their topic... Just my opinion - please stop this show~

clgil: Are you serious? You can't blame the actor for the lines he speaks. He didn't write them. Telling Neil was in the script. Blame the writers...as I do...often! I think the whole thing is silly. Unexpected pregnancy is high school drama...not adult professionals.

Genoa City needs a Planned Parenthood to educate these people on birth control!!

LadyBug and David - I agree the writers who composed story lines for Doris did a really bad job. Now I hope they don't screw up the stories for Sharon and Lily. The Lily tale is getting weirder and weirder. When that woman showed up behind Lily at the cemetery I began chiming the theme for The Twilight Zone as she discussed her talents.

Well, now that we all agree the woman stole Sharon's ring, admired it, then drove off to her death it seems only logical Adam would assume she's dead. But with a 'new life' now, let's hope Sharon doesn't pop back into Genoa City soon.

Speaking of a new life, now that Sharon has assisted Dr. Sam with the birthing of the ewe, maybe she should start a new career as a vet asst with her 'new name'. What do you all think?

Are the writers reading this?

I think that Doris is pi**ed that her daughter let her live in that creepy hollows apartment, while the Newmans had a tough time choosing which pony to ride that day~ (Sharon couldn't have tossed her Mommy a 20 to buy some light bulbs?) I wonder why they did that storyline years ago, where Victor had his team of EXPERTS operate on Doris, only to have her sit in that chair forever?
David
- Tue Apr 19 05:28:58 MDT 2011

Who ever is writing the Doris role is doing a really bad job. They must be having co-op high school students write the scripts!! A mother hearing her child has died would be like the world crashing down and nothing is ever the same again. Doris just blathered on about the same old stuff without even shedding a tear. Even Jack, Noah, Billy and others first reaction was guilt at turning their back on Sharon. Doris was still acting like it was reasonable to abandon her daughter just because she hated Adam.

Why all the boobage? Is that how they are going to stay on the air? You'd think when Adam packed Sharon's clothes for the escape, he would have packed some practical, comfortable traveling stuff...like sweats and a pair of running (from the law) shoes. Sharon prancing around the farm in those heels was quite a site. And what a pristine farm it was....freshly laundered packing blankets, no farm animal doo doo anywhere.

You don't see people making common sense statements so much on Y&R, but Billy did. With everyone pointing fingers at Victor and Adam for Sharon's disturbing sudden demise, Billy points to everyone including himself, saying when she talked out her multiple problems who in the room stretched out a hand to help her? Good point, Billy.

Seems everyone in that GC crowd's in shock and surprise with the news of Sharon's untimely death, including Adam; and as well they should be. But meanwhile.....

Sharon prepares a bed in a horse stable with nothing but her clothes on her back. As I said yesterday, now Sharon can begin a new life with new ID and no one is the wiser. But for sure the dumb writers are gonna have her wander into GC someday and.....Well she is a mom.

Lastly, I still think Michelle Stafford looks hot in her underwear.

Did any of the rest of you notice that Adam paused when they showed him the body? I don't know...i think Adam recognized something that let him know that it was not Sharon and is going to let everyone go on thinking that she is dead so she can start a new life somewhere else. I mean Adam has faked his death and Skey's death twice before so it would be nothing new to him. And in his eyes it would serve everyone right to grieve for her and feel guilt because in his eyes they are the ones who wronged Sharon. It is very possible and very likely. What do you all think?

I acually like Philly and Nick together. I guess because I saw him live once and he admitted to enjoying being with Philly cause she as an actress is funny and always adlibbing as Sharon is a true professional who never waverers from the script. They just seem to have fun together....I never see Sharon and Nick just goofing around having fun. However poor Jack...shafted and I guess Philly too cause he will eventually go back to Sharon..right? I feel sorry for Adam, he is so in love. Who is he gonna end up with, everyone hates him...lol.

Yes, AJ, "....a totally disfunctional relationship...". That means they're meant for each other (or deserve each other). Wound from the same cloth? (so to speak). Anyway, I like her, despite her rotten history with both Jack and Victor. Who knows? She might have changed for the better, in a way.

Now Sharon, she's stuck, wherever the heck she is, without car, identity, and luggage, Y'all are right, she could start a new life without anyone the wiser. But like the ''late'' (Adam's gambling girl), Sharon may have her accused past hanging over her and that may show her real identity.

*Sigh*. Now guys and gals, we're starting to write like the writers whom we liked changed. Let us now have a change in topic.

I thought it looked like Diane was just the right woman for Victor. She stood up to him; opposed him for his thinking, his assumptions, and his inscience of his spouses' feelings, needs. This is the woman for him, I thought to myself, not the self - deprecating, needy women he usually married.
What do y'all think? Agree? Y or N.

If, in the future, I find the predictable occurances resurfacing during Sharon's absence from GC, as many of you described earlier, I think I'll leave watching Y&R, waiting for it's demise as well. But not this ChatBook.

- Fri Apr 15 11:10:17 MDT 2011

Looking the preview for Monday, I was right. Geez. And Sharon will love it because now she can hide longer because people will assume she is dead. But wait this story is familiar. They did this story years ago with Victor. Remember when Victor took off and he was carjacked and then the carjacker was in an accident and died. Everyone assumed it was Victor and mourned for him while Victor retreated to Kansas. Sharon is supposed to do the same thing she finds some vet and finds solace. They are assuming we won't remember. They are recycling stories...that is a bad sign. They were doing that on Three's Company before it was canceled.

at rc and va

I am looking at the show today and it is very predictable So Nick and Phyllis here we go again. Sharon crying again. The carjacking and now the accident. Let me guess everyone is going to assume Sharon is dead. There will be a "I hate Victor" backlash because he will be blamed and yada, yada, yada. And then in 6 months Sharon will return with this "new mystery man". Come on..... This is why ratings are declining. Same old same old.

Also cl, I agree with many of the shows watched you listed. They hold good interest (and some run like the soaps), like NCIS , Grey's A--. and Private Practice; they hold interest with real adult situations and they're among my favorites.
Well, Y&R starts soon.

clgil77 - You're right; the reality shows have grown interest among viewers. But for me, the real reality cooking shows would be the ones where the cook frantically runs around the kitchen, saying "Where's the...oh @#$%!! gotta turn that down. The stuff is burning. Whew. Ok folks we'll be preparing salad now, with..." That's more like reality cooking, don't you think? A little laughter's good for the soul, they say.

Every one out there.....Regarding what Greg Rikaart said: Looks like viewers prefer watching some idiocy rather than intellectual or adult drama,(I know, that's all relative) these days. Maybe in a strange way it's a form of release from reality itself. But that's why I watch sci fi sometimes. I just like it; so long as its not stupid (most are).
rcsmiley
VaBch, VA - Fri Apr 15 10:04:38 MDT 2011

@Rc to answer your earlier question: yeah I think that cooking shows and shows such as the View are much more relevant today. Reality tv I am not a fan of because it is not really reality anymore but that is what is holding the people's attention because it is "real" people and "real lives". All good things must come to an end. I think maybe in about another 10 years maybe Soaps can make a comeback.

The Most Overdone Stories/Cliches

1. Who's The Daddy?
2. Fake Pregnancies to break someone up
3. Amnesia
4. Back from the dead
5. Being framed for a murder/whodunit stories
6. Love triangles
7. Interrupted Weddings
8. Kids who were 2 yesterday are now 18
9. Feuds of of the fictional cities two central families
10. Being Kidnapped/Presumed dead

@ Rosebud I watch Days too but I have to admit to me it is very boring now. The same old stories. How many times does Jennifer come back without Jack? The Dimeras doing the same ol thing? The Rafe/Faux Rafe story is not a popular one. There are days that I just read the updates to catch up. Back in the day it was more original with stories like being Marlena being possessed by the devil. Now its just kind of dry. I like it but it could be better. I think people are more into things like Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice where the stories wrap up quicker. I think Days will be the next show on the chopping block even though its been renewed until 2013.

@Rc smiley. You are right. Soaps have got to change to stay up however having said that Greg Rikaart who plays Kevin on Y&R had this to say on twitter:

"2 soaps gone. Talented peeps lost gigs, but the douchebags of Jersey Shore have job security. WTF is wrong with society's viewing habits?"

He makes a good point too. Unfortunately, this is what are society has started to gravitate towards. But yeah a lot of people are appealing for us fans to stay true to the soaps. I agree to an extent. Fans are tired of the same ol same ol. So writers its time to step up and stop with the cliches.

clgil77 - You are absolutely right. Moving w/ the times is one of the things soaps have to do. Same ol' repetitive story lines have to end. Without saying more about it, new and different stuff has to come in.

Someone noted today on TV that reality shows, cooking and travel shows seem to be taking the forefront on Daytime TV. What do you think?

Oh, and yes, Lilly looks hot and very Middle Eastern (y'know like Iranian, Turkish, or even Albanian.). And what makes her also appealing is we've seen her grow up on Y&R. Forgive me if I from left field on this.

I think as far as looks go Michelle Stafford and the actress who plays Lilly are the best looking. Nikki to me looks good too. With the news about AMC and OLTL being canceled today, I definitely think this makes other shows such as Days, Y&R, B&B, and GH nervous. Yes Y&R is the#1 show but they cannot rest on that and think it will stay that way. Soaps need to change the pace with the times and be a little more realistic. The same cliches are getting old. Sofia is pregnant and its a "who's the daddy" storyline. Everyone I have talked to is tired of that story which will then lead to a love triangle.

David : You're right. It appears the actress that played the old Victoria can do nothing else but the whiny, needy female. But that's typecasting, right? I'm afraid soaps have a tendency to do that.

clgl77 : As you yourself know, I guess Jack has nothing better to do with all his money than to gain some advantage over the mustache; a task that will never end. Yes, I agree, writers have to change that somehow. This includes, as you noted, Nick and Phyllis pressing the flesh (it gets old). But I must say, that Michelle Stafford has nice body. However my favorite for looks is Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbot).

Adam throwing Nick and Phyllis off his back is a riot. Hopefully it'll work. Can't they find something else to do? Like look into Billy's suspicions about Jana and Ms. Primrose so we see the fights begin.

Even though Y&R is the top rated show it has slowed in ratings too. Let's discuss this folks. Are soaps in general on the decline. What are some ways that Soap Operas that are still surviving can reinvent themselves and move along with the changing times.

I have to admit, I thought it was pretty funny today the way Adam duped Nick and Phyllis and the look on Nick's face.

He needs to get a life and stop always trying to one up Victor. When will Tucker and Victor ever learn they cannot take down "the mustache".

What the show is missing is two types of characters: a psycho and and fem fetalle. The show needs like an Abby Ewing or Kate Roberts. Back in the day Jill used to be that character, they have watered her down. They need a Shelia or David Kimball. Patty was okay but too fragile. David and Shelia took months and eventually years to unravel. Maybe this is where they are leading Jana but I doubt it. My guess is that with Jana she will be killed or commit suicide and then pin it on Cholie and she will be another Sharon going to jail for a crime that she did not commit.

Nick and Phyllis acting like school kids listening in on someone who knows they're listening in....sounds comedic, doesn't it? Phyllis has such a big nose for getting in other people's business, and she drags others into her unscrupulous affairs, like Nick. But Nick hates Adam anyway.

Can Nick ever decide what woman he wants to be with. Sharon-Phyllis-back to Sharon-Diane-and Phyllis-again? Come on brotha. In the end, Nick is going to end up with Sharon. If any of you have ever watched Knots Landing, Nick and Sharon are a modern day Gary & Val. Gary & Val divorced carried residual feelings for each other and then dated, married, divorced,married, and divorced other people before they eventually got back together. They strung it out for years and years. In about two years, Nick and Sharon will finally reunite for good or in soap years for at least three years.

Actually Doris went to see Sharon at the courthouse right before the verdict was read and Sharon expected her to stay and be there for her...but she coldly refused...nothing to do with her wheelchair. Interesting though that Sharon and Adam are suppose to be evil/screwed up people and both had handicap mothers. The self-absorbed mothers who cheated on their husbands raised wonderful children. I think that's really screwy!! And wrong!!

Victoria said today that she and Nick had to fight for what they earned. EARNED???? What did they do to earn half a billion dollars? When they worked they got paid well and free rent. Weird calling BofN "my heart". I would reserve that endearment for my children! Well, as long as Victoria doesn't get in an accident and become handicap her kids will be pillars of society!!

You've all seen this by now. What Sharon did by braking out and putting down that guard was something really dumb. All to see her Faith again? And be with lover boy Adam? She could see one at least during visits. Now she may never. Dumb writing, people. Maybe Sharon Case will retire.
And Tucker sounds like another Victor Newman doesn't he?

I was thinking somethings up with Summer too. I can't imagine that shy little girl talking to Noah about music and his gigs. Me thinks she's off to the "clinic" getting rapid growth hormone injections. Next time we see her I bet she'll be a rambunctious teen ready to raise hell!

WHAT THE HECK???
How does Summer who's what 6...go on a spring vacation trip? and poor Phyllis has to drop her off at the airport.

Then we see Victoria literally DROPPING her little bundle of baby where ever she can find a place to drop her.

Is that how we treat our children? OH YES we are in GC, send em off when they interfere with your life, it's all about you all the time.
SO annoying.

Something we can all look forward to...a new "do" for Sharon...YAYYY!!!

Neil is such a hypocrit! Lusting after his brother's fiance, in the past, cheating on his fiance. Yet he claims moral highground. He couldn't live with himself if he didn't testify against Victor...because Victor was out of control. Was he out of control when he gave Neil the private jet as a gift and he was able to sell it and buy Indigo?

Now Victor...how can he act like he isn't totally responsible for what is happening with Sharon, because he hid Skye!!! He deserves to lose his company so I hope Tucker gets it. Tucker going after it is business...Jack going after it is revenge...his pampered kids going after it is greedy.

In the real world it would be very easy for Victor to maintain controlling interest in Newman. It would be inconceivable for him to not do that. But...it's not the real world after all.

So Nick and Victoria have at least 1/2 billion each, will have more after the IPO...so they have more money than Brad and Angelina...and can't get a decent nanny? Lucy gets passed off from Abbie to Daniel. Nick seems to always be looking for granny or someone to watch the kids and lives in limbo, like a college kid, in a tack house. Nick has three kids and none of those kids have a stable home or any kind of consistent family life.

Victoria's acting range: silly little girl happy, whimpering little girl sad...everything else is bland. The only indication that she is in business mode is costume, wearing a business suit and putting her hair in a bun.

I hope Chloe gets a big, fat, in your face Victoria "I told you so" regarding Jana!!

Okay...I'll shut up now.....

Hi y'all. Y&R wasn't bad today. Except for Chloe's antics and moanings. (Sorry, evidently "moanings" is not in the dictionary; but you all know what I mean, right?)
Maybe Jill is gonna squeeze the truth out of (?) Cane's dad as she continues to ask about his daughters untimely death.
From my viewpoint it doesn't look good for Sharon, especially since she skipped the plea deal and let the case go to the jury. But Maybe, just maybe Phyllis after sticking her nose in the affair will do good for Sharon.

RC: You're absolutely right! When the RAMS came home they got the same heroes welcome that they would if they had won. People still have signs/banners on their houses and wearing T-shirts, etc. Saturday night though, I had to listen to a lot of wailing in the streets. I never really knew what mass wailing sounded like until then!!

Very watchable show today IMO with cute little Delia who would give Suri Cruise a run for her money fashion wise. But 1. I'm surprised that Billy and Victoria, who must have millions of dollars, would have a stack of bank statements that hadn't even been opened. 2. I'm surprised that Jana shredded them WITHOUT opening them and taking a peek. Or did she??? We'll see tomorrow.

Saw an interview with Jesse Ventura this morning (love his Conspiracy Theory show). He showed a clip of his little stint on Y&R, a scene with Victor, before the grecian formula.

VCU has a 2-3 zone defense that puts pressure on their opponent, as they'd have more coverage per ball handler, theoretically, Butler has a drive offense that generally tries to move the ball, passing inside out thus getting larger 3 pt scores. We'll soon see. Good Luck. - rc

Jana is a nut - but Chloe will go about her campaign to get her fired all wrong and end up the bad guy -

Read Adam came back to the trial with no evidence in hand - but wanting to testify. Zero credibility - all he will do is help the procecutors - what an idiot. There may still be a "rabbit in the hat" for Sharons defense coming by way of Phyllis - but nothing concrete in the spoiler I read.

And I have a question - why does everyone think Lily is nuts for seeing Cane - but Wacko-Jacko has conversations with dear ole dad and that's perfectly normal? I know he's told his siblings about it...

BTW, Victor did an excellent job retelling the story of events in Hawaii, but destroyed his innocence of culpability regarding his connections with Skye's release to HI by taking the fifth. Maybe he'll "pay off" someone.

Oh, yeah, and nutty Jana will probably get caught rifling through Ms Primrose's stuff, where Jana will be found wearing a pillow for a fetus.

Hello again. With help from Mr. Remo I finally got help finding the word I should have known, having read it in your comments so many times.

I was volunteering as a teacher in an Aquarium where I live so didn't see Y&R today. However, I think Daniel, though now happy about his daughter's new environ, is gonna get screwed somehow, either by Daisy or her brother, along with the fact that Daniel let her get out through the bathroom window (I feel a Beatle song coming on).

Jean: Jana's a nutcase trying to get Kevin back and thinks if she finds the baby she can just hand it to Kevin and he will be so grateful and the three of them will live happily ever after.....fade to sunset...

I remember back when UPS went public. When they offered the IPO to the public it was pretty diluted. You have thousands of people buying it. Wouldn't a lot of rich people want to own UPS? But nobody does...they have rules and safeguards to prevent someone from actually taking over. Martha Stewart went public just a few years ago...nobody took her company out of her hands. Don't see how one person or a handful of people could buy up Newman. But, Y&R has their own alter universe...so we shall see.

P.S. If they were accurate, they would have Victor at the New York Stock Exchange ringing the opening bell on the day NE goes public...that would be cool. When Martha did it, she also served fresh squeezed orange juice and muffins to hungry brokers!!

Geez, she gets more idiotic by the minute. It's not like he molested her. Victor is/was controlling but that was always set off by the lavish benefits both she and Nick got. Most parents are controlling to some degree. You just shrug it off or distance yourself. Expecting to be financially compensated for it is ridiculous.

I like Nikki and whathisname together...they seem to have chemistry. She's all aglow like a 16 year old! Funny, Eric Roberts just got out of celeb rehab and Sean Young (Meggie) just went in.

What does Abby think she CAN'T do with a HALF BILLION DOLLARS! If I got that kind of money...first on my agenda would a very long stay somewhere with a white beach and drinks with umbrellas in them!! (Not really, first would be giving my daughter and granddaughter everything they could possibly ever need.)

Victor is going to:
1/ Disown his children.*
2/ Sign NE over to Diane.
3/ Sell B of N to Tucker, Jack or someone else. I say Jack.

*There was a man in my church, years ago, who legally disowned his children so that they would qualify for financial aid to go to college. He thought he was so clever and would brag about his kids getting a free education. Everyone was too polite to point out that it wasn't free, we were ALL paying for it through our taxes!!

I liked the previous Noah...glad he's coming back.

I don't know if I like Katherine's attitude. Just because the Newmans and Abbotts are like family to her, doesn't mean that Tucker should feel the same way. Both Jack and Victor have done much worse to each other than what Tucker is doing and she's never banned them from her home. They've both used their children in the name of business. It was Victoria who was the center of the lawsuit against her father and refused to settle amicably. I just think she's judging her son much harder and by higher standards than anyone else. For a woman who has not been in his life for the last 50+ years, she should give him a break...jmo.

The whole Chance thing can't end soon enough for me!

Love, love, love that spring is finally here!!! Love the smell of the air, the budding of trees...dafodils and tulips in bloom. My little one loves to pick flowers on our walks but only gets the heads. I float them in glass bowls...they look beautiful.

Years ago, while on a trip to Calif, we took a tour of Universal Studio and got to see the sets of many sitcoms. It was shocking. The furniture was so shabby, worn and dirty. The floors especially were really dirty. Yet on TV everything looked fresh and new. Back then there wasn't hi def...but still, the camera doesn't get everything. Once in a while, watching a sitcom, someone will be wearing white socks and if you could see the bottoms, they would be black!

Y&R coming up on their 38th anniversary. And I have watched from day ONE. I am, officially, OLD! Since the show will end in the next few years, I would like to have watched from the first day to the last day...even though there were times, sometimes years, when I didn't watch at all because of work, before VCRs.

Muhney says on twitter that there's going to be a lot of fun coming up on Y&R. Fun? There's never any fun. There's drama and craziness...but fun?

New guy coming. He starred in the movie "Powder". Played a white guy. I mean REALLY white, with super natural powers. They need a new guy so they can stop recycling the couples.

Oh, my granddaughter, observing the world, has determined that there are no black people or white people. She's seen many shades of brown people... but never a black person and she claims that she is not white...she is peach! According to the crayon box.

David, I have to agree. The Preppy Green Walls are over!!! Way over. I think the same thing about Victor's home. It's not classy any longer. The furniture is old and nothing looks fresh. It's looking almost as bad as Brad's old place where Abby's living. THAT PLACE IS SO DREADFUL...it had the same furniture as the PineCone Motel on AMC. Finally, I've said it before, but the country yelllow and orange decor in Sharon's Crafstman bungalow is not matching the style there. She doesn't have to go with Stickly or heavy looking all mission style but the could make it a little more hip and eclectic looking.
No I don't have a decorator license,it should look fresher. They did do up the newer apartments, and houses better, but why make the sets the same forever for the older actors.

As for the men's bball ( I love how we can be openly sexist with each other...) - I'm not a sports fan but my college son is. I think there's something about seeing it LIVE that counts. And since he doesn't have classes all day I bet he's watching games. As much as we deserve consideration, I don't think they are going to rearrange the whole March Madness Big Dance to suit our desires! ha ha

I agree- Vicky's hair has been looking even a little wilder lately- just needs a bit of taming. In Chaucer's day a gap toothed woman was considered sexy.
and I agree Kay is one of the best characters. Love watching her tell it like it is.
Hasn't Nicky been looking wonderful?? I guess she lost a bit of weight and has more attractive clothes too.
So many beautiful women (and guys) - part of the fun of the show.
Even though in real life, I wish looks didn't count for so much!

Victorias hair looks just like she looks on the inside. Messed up
All that money sure didn't improve her looks none. She could see a dentist to and get her gap fixed. Dye that messy hair and start to love her kid. Maybe when they take the kid she will have a reason to look like she does. That my friends is what a spoiled brat looks like. Nick is not used to not having a woman fighting for him. About time cause he is no package either. I like Kay alot, she is a woman with good sense and cares about people.

They are showing ***reruns*** on the Soap Network so I don't think we are missing anything, they will start again where we left off before Basketball started. Last night they reran Chance's funeral....

Hi. I might watch the finals today, but am asking where I can watch today's segment of Y&R. There's got to be another channel where a portion of y&r can be seen on some cable network or somethilng. O well.

Lady Bug: I so agree with your post..Nick's hair looks so greasy, shaggy, many young men like that scruffy look. Kay's son same way only his looks dry not greasy..But talk about having a hair cut....Jack always has neat cut and clean shaven..
Victoria,looks like she just got out of bed..Looks nice when pulled back and styled but do not see that very often..
Time for cup of coffee and to stop being a fussy ole woman.. :O)

So Victoria is sitting on the couch hugging a stuffed dog while Jana is putting her baby to bed???? What mother doesn't put her new baby to bed when she can. What mother wouldn't be thrilled to get home in time to do it. When she loses the baby, which looks very likely and very soon, she'll be crying a river and we're suppose to believe her heart is broken!

And...now that she has 500 million dollars I think she can pop for a professional cut and dye job!!! Nick at "What not to Wear" would be appalled at that unruly, unattractive mop.

LOVE Billy, Victoria...not so much.

I just wished that someone would get rid of that 1987 Forest Green paint on Victor's office wall. = that's all!

The college basketball finals pre-empted today's Y&R so I watched neither.

Why does Katherine gaze always leap up to peoples foreheads when she talks to them?

Lauren & June: You can watch Y&R online any time you want. Just google Young and the Restless online. Then, on the first site listed click full episode. It immediately goes to today's show. You can also watch previous shows. It has 15 second commercials.

I like to watch this way because I can watch whenever I want and I can stop and start if I want. Sometimes when I watch I'll want to see something again...because I wasn't paying close attention...then I can just drag it back a few minutes.

Yeah i have the soap station but its just a repeat of that days soap.
I just dont get the point of taking a favorite show and putting in a male sport instead??? Put it on late night for the gents. Why dont the station do a poll of who wants to see basketball or their soap.

June- Do you get the soap opera network? They replay the day's episode at least once at night.
I hate when CBS pre-empts or even worse our local station.

I hate when the basketball takes off the show for 2 days. I dont watch basketball and the men are at work. Does that make sense to anyone. I agree about Victoria, you got a job, watch your kid. Oh but shes to up there for that. I have gotten to dislike Vicky, shes greedy and self absorbed, but I do like her and Billy together.

From what I heard today.....
Sharon's antics are just ridiculously stupid. No wonder a Fed agent noticed her BC was for a two year old. How Stupid. What the blazes did she expect?
Granted, it's honorable that Adam is trying to clear Sharon's name, But any jerk could figure out it won't work. She has to much against her now, like forgery for one . Gee what a dumb broad. Oh, yeah, and Phyllis ends up in Thailand! All because Sharon, whom she's trailing as a cub reporter, gets carted off the plane by Feds.

But I understand the stories are moving faster now (dumb as they may be) and that's good. No yearlong tales hopefully.

You guys read my mind! Or more like we're watching the same show!!
Today took the prize for stupidity. (With the one bright side being V&B making up and Billy saying how he will always take her side.)

Sharon- leaving town? going to Thailand- a whole country- to find A? using Faith's BC to forge a passport? Too stupid even for a soap.
and then
the trial!
And you're right (sorry I forget who said) how would they have Chance's cell number? Great point- the whole thing was so annoying I didn't even notice that.
Oh yes, now that all the evil cops have had a good look at Chance, sure go ahead and take a recess.
etc etc
Oy, if I didn't love Y&R I would hate it!

More stupidity today...

As if skipping town to find Adam while on bail was dumb enough - now Sharon is forging docuements to do so??? Hope she looks good in that trademark GC orange jump suit. (And DUH - she's been all over the tabloids and IS a NEWMAN - like no one is going to recognize her.)

Hmmm Nina and Phillip at the court house brandishing Fed Visitor badges. Now why on earth would they be given those?? Let's just drop a bomb of a clue who the suprise witness is going to be - and why isn't Ronan required to be at the trail?

And how in the world if no one knew about Chance did they get his cell number to text him about Heather??

Now to Gloria - she's had a rough life and been involved with more than one scum bag in her day...you would think with Jeff coming up "injured" all the time and that goon popping in all the time she could put 2 & 2 together...geez...why
