This week, after being rejected my everyone and their mother, Billy goes to his fallback girl, Chloe for some comfort.  And surprise, surprise, Chloe grows a backbone, and tells Billy to get to stepping, they’re better off as friends.  Unfortunately for Chloe and Phate (Phillip and Kate) fans, Chance witnesses the Chilly kiss, but doesn’t see Chloe’s rebuff (you know how these things go.)

Chance gets stabbed on the job though, and Chloe realizes she’s in love with a man who actually loves her back.  Go girl!  It’s about damn time.

Does Maria hate this couple or what?  Lily and Cane have bald sex on Tuesday, November 3rd, and by Thursday, she’s on her deathbed.  Sex with Cane almost kills Lily, el oh el smiley face, el oh el smiley face.  I don’t think I’ve ever laughed harder.

Clearly Mackenzie isn’t ride or die, because word is, these two events push Bac to the breaking point.  So…if Chloe is busy nursing Chance back to health, and Sharon is making moves with Adam, and Amber is still carrying on with both Daniel and Deacon, and Lily still has her head up Cane’s ass…who is Billy going to make the beast with two backs with?  Esther?

Spoiler Alert!  For all you Chloe and Chance shippers, it looks like November is your month.  Sir Chancelot (GC’s most inept detective– where’s Gil, Maria???) gets himself mixed up in a robbery, and uh oh, he’s stabbed.  Now cue the music for the old “someone you’ve been indifferent about is suddenly fighting for their life, so now you’re in love” story line.  That’s right, Chloe realizes that she could lose the one guy in all of Genoa City who might actually give a damn about her.  She must do something amazing while tending to Sir Chance at the hospital, because Nina realizes that underneath Chloe’s hard exterior, she’s just a lovable ball of fun, and she does really have deep feelings for her son.

I don’t know if you want to DVR this, or make sure you fast forward it (I know which one I’ll be doing, LOL) but on Thursday, after what? two months of marriage, Lily and Cane renew their vows.  Lily is suddenly healthy enough to get off house arrest, conveniently right after Colleen’s memorial (I C What U Did There Maria), so her warden/purse holder/con man husband/daddy allows her to visit Colleen’s grave.

While there, they end up in the chapel, and Cane apologizes for like the first time for lying to Lily, but hey, he still loves her.  So frick and frack decide to reaffirm their commitment to one another with a vow renewal.  I’m not sure if there’s an actual priest present, or if this is one of those Meredith and Derrick post-it deals.

Whatever it is, methinks the cattle mafia is coming to town soon.

Ashley Abbott finally buys half a clue (heifer still doesn’t realize she didn’t give birth, and still thinks Adam is her new BFF) this week, and tells Victor she wants a divorce.  All it took was Victor indirectly causing poor Colleen’s death by bringing crazy Patty Williams to town.  After 800 some odd years of this triangle, Ashley also finally accepts Nikki and Victor’s undying love for each other, when she goes to the hospital to get ‘her’ daughter, and finds the two lovebirds cooing over ‘her’ baby.

Supposedly, all of this somehow makes Ashley a stronger woman (really?  Hogan Sheffer wouldn’t know how to write a strong woman if she punched him in the face), and Ashley decides she wants the same thing for her daughters, that Nikki got for her children when she separated from Victor.  But Nikki and Victor have other ideas.  Those last lines makes me think that there may be some truth to the following spumors/rumors from Tamxxx at SOC:

Victor and Nikki are reunited.

They are succesful with this and so Adam will finally get whats coming to him!

Ashley sees Nikki kissing Victor and is angry/upset so files for a divorce from Victor!

Ashley is awarded the ranch and Newmans as part of her divorce settlement and she kicks Victor out of the ranch where he is living with Nikki.

Ashley moves in with Sharon’s baby (which she thinks is hers lol) and invites Adam and Sharon to live at the ranch with her .

This results in Adam and Sharon having a love affair.

Victor and Nikki team up and plans to bring Ashley down.

None of us recappers are happy about this, and I daresay none of you are either. Even if you were never a big CC fan I would hope that you’d understand why we’re all baffled at this. It’s bringing us down, man! Before, we were able to watch Y&R because, on some level, we loved to hate it. Now it’s hard to watch the show because we’re starting to genuinely hate it. It’s hard to drum up interest, or try to be funny when you really don’t enjoy the product anymore.

But the fact of the matter is, people enjoyed the recaps. They’re funny! I’ll make a confession: when the blog was coming from an idea to a reality, I didn’t want to be involved with the recaps at all. I didn’t think I was quite up to the task. Then I saw the first ones from Kare and Norell and they were laugh out loud funny, and that’s when I decided I wanted in, lol. So here we are.

Even though we’re not doing the recaps now due to there not being one recapper among us who watches this on a daily basis, I feel like people still come here to get the real. I think we’re one of the most truthful soap blogs around. And so, because I miss writing on this here blog, and because I’ve been drinking (only a little bit…Shut up.), and because I’ve been watching all of the Ed Lover “C’mon Son” vlogs, I felt like piggybacking off that and making it my own.

Welcome to C’mon Y&R [insert side-eye here]. Here I’ll talk about all the bullshit that’s happening on the show, as well as the spoilers. All of this is courtesy of DeeMarie, or else I wouldn’t know what the hell is goings on, lol!

1)Sooooo, you killed off a young legacy character from one of the show’s oldest families to give her 22 year old heart to her 97 year old godfather? And then homeboy peaces out at the end of his 13 week contract cycle, and may never grace the soundstage again, proving that the entire storyline was all for nothing? C’mon Y&R.

2)This stolen art shit is STILL going on?? C’mon Y&R.

3)We have Billy, who is finally putting an end to some of my misery by ending his marriage to Kate, only to suddenly develop feelings for her right when the papers get in front of him? After this show has spent months and countless lines of dialogue and him throwing mad shade at a girl he’s told Lily and Mac (and thus the audience) that she was only good for playing hide the salami so well that she shoulda been named Oscar Meyer? C’mon Y&R. Get the hell outta here with that garbage.

4)Four words. Sharin. Ashley. Baby. Switch. C’mon Y&R. Holla if you called this hot mess the minute Sharin popped up knocked up.

5)MJ! What have they done to my boo? Used to be my homie, used to be my ace, now I wanna slap the taste out of the writers mouths for having her indirectly being the reason why my CC is dead! C’mon Y&R!

6)Black people. Where are they? C’mon Y&R. Stop acting like you know what you have when you so clearly don’t. Hey, you know what’s nice sometimes? Watching a show you enjoy and seeing people that look like you.

7)How long has this Adam is blind storyline and all its subsequent spin-offs been going on? C’mon Y&R. You’ve beaten this dead horse so much that there’s nothing left, not even some hair to make a kitchen ass weave with.

8: Lily and Cane renew their vows? Fa real? I want to know who does the writing for Lane because they have clearly never been in a relationship before. There is no way in hell any self respecting woman would hear that the man she’s married has been lying about who he is from the minute he stepped into town, and take him back with only a few tense scenes about what happened in their past. CKH has said that right now Lily’s focus is on the cancer, and everything else is secondary. Now, I’ll give her that. If I had cancer, I’m pretty sure the last thing I’d want to do is argue everyday instead of focusing on how to get into remission. But I’ll be damned if I’d go and renew my vows right after my gotdamn best friend just died and I still have my doubts about whether or not my husband is telling me the truth at any given time. C’MON Y&R! Sit the hell down.

9) Lily can’t go to Colleen’s funeral because her immune system is compromised. Say what? If my best friend died, I’d like to see someone try and keep me from going to her memorial, I don’t give a damn how sick I was. Give me a damn Hazmat suit and roll my ass down in a bubble or something but please believe that I would be there. C’mon Y&R. I think Lils has enough shit to deal with.

And, lastly: 10) Victoria Rowell. C’mon Y&R.
