Fun Fact: Wilson Bethel (Ryder) Auditioned for the Role of Chance
In an exclusive interview with Daytime Confidential’s Jamey Giddens, Wilson Bethel (Ryder), reveals that in fact, he’d auditioned for the role of Chance:
Daytime Confidential: I have to admit, when I usually hear about a new Fisher-Baldwin coming to The Young and the Restless, I am less than enthused, but I have loved Ryder from day one! How did the role come about?
Wilson Bethel: I came in for the role of Chance, but I wasn’t right for the part. I had a prior relationship with Camille, who does the casting for Y&R, and I guess through some random course of events I ended up playing Ryder.
Hmmm, I think Camille made yet another poor casting decision (if she’s the one who’s been doing all of the new hiring as of late) . I think Wilson would have made a better Chance. And maybe that’s because I think any actor would make a better Chance, and any actress (at this point) would make a better Mac. Send these two characters off to wherever it is that Nikki’s whisking Victor off to. And then have Chance and Mac come back with personalities.
See Maria, I wrote a quick story for you. Take it, use it, make it work. And even though we’re in a recession ya’ll! Maria, I won’t make you pay.
Y&R Spoilers – Week of 10/12 Updated, More Bullshit
- Billy and Chloe’s ‘face off’ is about proving to each other that they’ve moved on. (Moved on from what? Will tiic make up their minds with these two? Either commit to them as a pairing, or move them the hell on.)
- Lily and Assby renew their vows. (I guess this is when the cancer sex happens. Also, seeing as how Lily is not allowed to leave the house, and we know the rest of the Winters won’t be seen until November, I guess this ‘beautiful’ little ceremony will happen with just the two of them in the Brady Bunch house. Hey, maybe they’ll renew their vows post-it style like Mer and Der.)
Y&R Continues To Get Shat Upon in The Casting Department
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or perhaps you just have a real life, LOL), then you know several casting coups have gone down in the soap world this week. Sarah Brown to B&B, Gina Tognoni returning to OLTL, Jonathan Jackson back to GH, and the WTF? of all What the Fucks? (sorry for the language, but this one deserves it), James Franco (yes he of Milk, Pineapple Express, and Spiderman fame) is headed to GH for two months.
All of these recent casting decisions have garnered positive press for their respective soaps (let me say this again, James effing Franco is going to be on General Hospital), yet one soap, the one that’s supposedly the best of the best, is noticeably absent from all the hoopla. The Young and the Restless can’t seem to make a wise casting decision to save its life. Instead, they want to ditch their veterans, and recast roles when the character’s og (original) portrayer is willing to make a return.
To be fair, Y&R can’t compete with James Franco. But here’s the thing, apparently James Franco approached tiic at GH about being on their show, completely bypassing Y&R which is supposed to be the best soap since sliced bread. Also, Y&R was in talks with Gina Tognoni, but she turned them down to go back to OLTL, a soap that could very well be cancelled by next year.
Y&R could be making headlines of their own instead of sitting back and watching the other soaps on air have all the limelight. The only thing it would take is a phone call to Victoria Rowell. Yes, she may or may not be difficult, but home girl brings press with her wherever she goes. And even if you don’t like her, Dru had/still has many fans, most of whom walked when she left the show.
It’s time for everyone behind and in front of the scenes at Y&R to put on their big girl and big boy pants, and do what’s right for this show, not what’s right for themselves.

Y&R Recap Monday, June 1st 2009
Y&R is getting a little repetitive y’all! Today’s episode was filled with Shick/Shack/Phick/Phack with a splash of crazy Ashley, and the Scooby Gang, otherwise known as Amber/Daniel/Kevin/Jana.
Over at the Abbott mansion, Phyllis is telling Jack yet again that if he’d kept his eye on Sharin, then Red’s marriage would still be intact. Jack’s all, it’s not his fault Sharin’s a ho, and so is Niclueless. Phyllis looks at Cryin’ Jack like he’s crazy, because obviously the man doesn’t get it. See, Cryin’ Jack believes that Sharin is really through with Niclueless, and no matter whose baby she’s carrying, they will raise it together. Really Jack? Let’s just see what Sharin and Niclueless think of that.
Ahhh, seems like Sharin and Niclueless are doing what they do best, make out like teenagers. I guess we all see where Noah gets it from. He get it from his mama (and his daddy, lol). While Big Red and Cryin’ Jack are whining to each other, Niclueless is telling Sharin that he chooses her (Didn’t I see this already on Grey’s Anatomy? Remember when Mer told Der, ‘choose me. pick me. love me.’? Shonda did it better, but I digress). So Niclueless chooses Sharin. Hmm… let’s see how long it is before he’s ‘recomitting’ to Phyllis again.
Niclueless was doing his best Keith Sweat impression (you know, getting his beg on), trying to get Sharin to come back to him, when in walked his wife. Yeah Niclueless, nothing tells a woman how much you love her, like being married to someone else. When will the men in this town learn? You can’t properly step to a woman when you’re still married (Yes Liam, I’m looking at you. You’re basically asking Mac to be your mistress. If you’re really serious, then get a divorce).
Not prepared to take on Big Red, Sharin slithered her way out of notVogue, and left Niclueless alone to get his punishment from mom. Instead of putting her foot up Niclueless’ ass like she should have, Big Red resorted to begging (look like she’s a fan of Keith Sweat, too) him not to give up on their marriage. Oh Big Red, look how far you’ve fallen.
As far as Big Red has fallen, Cryin’ Jack has fallen even further. At least Niclueless loves Phyllis on some level, but Sharin is straight up using Cryin’ Jack. And Jackie, having no self respect when it comes to Sharin, is taking whatever crumb he can get. Jackie, it’s not your baby. Tell that ho to get to stepping.
Over at Ye Olde Newman Ranch…
Victor is consulting a psychiatrist about Ashley’s delusional state. Victor, do you really need a doctor for this? Ashley is seeing your dead wife, and hearing babies crying in the woods. I think that’s enough evidence that she’s lost her mind, don’t you?
While Victor is busy visiting with the good Doc, Ashley is befriending Public Enemy #1. Ashley, Adam is not your friend. Open your eyes girlfriend. Adam moves around entirely too well for someone who is newly blind. He is up to no good girl!
Since Olivia has been replaced in today’s ep in her role as personal physician to Ashley, her new job is to be the town crier. She runs off to the Abbott mansion to inform Jack of all the kooky stuff that’s going down at Ye Olde Newman Ranch. Why didn’t anyone tell Jack about this stuff a long time ago? Maybe if he was seeing about his sister, he wouldn’t have time to make a fool of himself behind Sharin.
Never one to miss a chance to see his one true love, Jack hurries off with Olivia to Ye Olde Newman Ranch, after hearing the news of Ashley’s further descent into insanity. Upon arrival, the two lovers have a tiff, with Jack insisting that Ashley come home to the Abbott mansion, and Victor being all, “Hell, no. I won’t let that ho go.”
When the lover’s tiff begins to turn into a full blown argument, Olivia tries to intervene, but Jack’s all, “Girlfriend, this is between me an my man. Back away.” And the Mustache looks on like, “You know that’s right.”
Meanwhile…
Water is still wet. Fire is still hot. The sky is still blue. And Ashley is still crazy.
Over in less crazy parts of town…
Kevin is still down about those letters that Detective Sexual Chocolate dropped off to him. Jana is trying to cheer him up, but Kevin isn’t trying to hear it. These days, the only person Jana’s magic works on is Daniel, and the only person that can get through to Kevin is Amber. Speaking of the devils…
Amber and Daniel show up at CL, and sure enough Amber is able to cheer up Kevin when she shows him a website that’s been devoted to the Silver Chipmunk. Kev’s all happy again, until he realizes that it’s Amber who created the website, and left all the positive comments. Meanwhile, the other half of this quad, Jana and Daniel, are busy discussing Daniel’s FBI involvement. Jana says something doesn’t feel right to her about all of this, and Daniel should just get out while the getting is good. Daniel heeds her advice, but also says they shouldn’t tell their significant others anything about this. Hmm…we know that nothing good ever comes from telling lies. Based on how his marriage ended, you’d think Daniel would have learned this by now.
After spending time with their best friends, Daniel and Amber make their way home, and guess what?
Their place has been trashed. Daniel, Jana warned you about getting involved with the government. You should have listened to her Daniel, you know homegirl speaks to the spirits. Obviously, Daniel’s friend Agent Aucker paid him a visit. Poor Daniel, if it’s not one thing, it’s always something else with this guy. So let’s take bets. Who will hit the sheets first? Dana or Kamber?
Next time on the Young and the Restless…
Fashion Spies on the Loose, week of 5/25
This week we’ve wrapped up May SLEEPS everyone! Let’s give TAIC a round of applause for making us cure our insomnia through what was called a sweeps month on Daytime’s supposedly No. 1 Soap. Well, Genoa City is still lacking in funds within their wardrobe department and of course it is up to me to point out the walking disasters that is on our screen. I have a few new looks I’d like opinions on=upgrades & downgrades, some What the —-? and some FUGLY outfits. Let’s start here:
This swimsuit is too ugly for words. Not surprised, Amber, its FUGLY.
Someone hates Ashley in wardrobe because all of her “maternity” wear is a FAIL
What in the hell is Kate wearing to the BBQ? Did TPTB give her a shirt to cover up? I’m on the fence, I would have said FUGLY, but the look is nice. But on Kate, she ain’t got nothing to fill it with, so hmmm?
Y&R Recap. Wednesday, May 27th 2009
Ashley’s having a terrible day but at least she has her daddy to comfort her. She tells him she’s scared and Adumb, who is still spying on his laptop like the perverse idiot he is, looks on stunned when he realizes that Ash might actually be crazy.
She tells John how scared she is about losing the baby and how it would destroy TGVN after what happened with Sabrina. She tells him about her nightmare (featuring a veiled Sabrina who tries to kill Ashley) and Adumb is smiling away thinking this is going to be the greatest prank evah! Douche. She goes back to sleep and one more nightmare later she wakes up to find herself bleeding. Did I mention that she’s having a terrible day?
Jill and the Bardwells are still broke, broke, broke. Glo & Jeffrey have just returned from their luxurious trip on Noah’s Ark. Unfortunately for them they have no home to return to. They’ve been kicked out of the GCAC. Glo won’t sell her diamonds, won’t ask her kids for money, so they’ve got to roll up their sleeves and help themselves. They look in the classifieds and Glo finds a luxurious apartment that happens to be Red’s penthouse.
They go to not!Vogue and giggle about not having to go through all the legalities or paying first and last month’s rent because Red knows they’re good for it but Big Red won’t be outfoxed. She wants them to stick to the terms of the lease. She takes takes their money without checking their finances and they go to live it up while they still can.
Meanwhile, Jill’s trying to rectify her situation by going to Jackie, who is still mad as hell and not going to take it anymore! Jill not knowing that she’s facing an angry kitty offers him a business partnership. Why Jill thinks he’d want anything to do with her is beyond me and Jackie quickly tells her what she can do with her plan.
Kate’s making herself right at home at the Chancellor house. I guess being the maid’s daughter has some benefits after all, doesn’t it Kate? She tells Esther that Liam cares more about nuMac – his ex! – than he does about her. You think, Kate? She knows he wants Baby D but it’s too bad for him because she and D are a package deal. Two for one. Buy one, get one free! She’s that cashier who just won’t take no for an answer: “But you can supersize that for twenty-five cents!” Liam doesn’t want the extra value meal, mmkay?
She continues to whine about her marriage. She knows Liam doesn’t love her but he promised her – he promised her! – that he would make this work. If she believed that, she is either naïve or stupid. She talks about dignity, self-respect, and the situation being a bad example for Delia – and it all sounds good but since this is Kate, she’ll be back to the embarrassing situation within 48 hours.
On the other side of the yard, Mau–oh eff it, Rack’s discussing how awesome it is to be in love but no one’s buying it especially not nuMac. Raul’s been promoted to assistant director at the relief agency in Washington and he wants nuMac to come with him but she can’t leave – there’s Kay and of course her job at Jimmy’s. How will she ever find another bar job?
When Raul gets ready to take his leave and head to the airport, nuMac goes over to console Kate. Kate, however, in no mood to play nice, tells nuMac that her broken marriage is all her fault. NuMac’s like, “Bitch, your marriage is fail because of me HOW?” But before Kate can continue with her nonsense, Raul comes back so he and nuMac can take an overlong time making out and saying their goodbyes.
Once he leaves, Kate continues her Woe is me routine. She whines about how much her life sucks. How she didn’t know her father and got stuck in boarding school. How it was all SO HARD and nuMac would never understand her pain. Instead of punching her right in the face, nuMac tells her that she didn’t have a great time of it either growing up. She didn’t grow up in GC or know her father … but excluding the parental abuse and the homelessness, her life was easy compared to Kate’s, who suffered SO MUCH.
Kate goes on to say that she doesn’t want Baby D to grow up without a father and again, I ask, what decade are we in? Liam can be a father to D without staying married to Kate. Good grief.
Jackie is still crying all by himself at the Abbott Abode when the ghost of Papa John appears. He wants to know why Jackie is boo hooing about Sharin & Liam when Jack also slept with his wife? Jack rolls his neck and tells Papa John to talk to the hand. Papa John’s all, “Whatever. Just don’t forget that people who live in glass houses, should always have Windex in stock.” And something about Liam still being his brother.
So after being totally shot down by the angry kitty, Jill goes to Liam to ask what the hell is up Jack’s ass and Liam’s all “Stuff.” Jill looks around and realizes Baby D’s missing and when Liam tells her that Kate left with the baby, instead of calling a party planner, Jill wants to know what Liam’s going to do.
Liam says he doesn’t want to hurt Kate – could have fooled me – and he doesn’t want to lose his kid but Jill tells him that he won’t lose his parental rights just because his marriage was one big clusterf*** of fail. Jill tells him to make up his mind and Liam’s all, “I have a mind?”
When Jill leaves, it’s Papa John’s turn to talk to Liam. John tells him that he’s got a lot of growing up to do. True. Liam doesn’t disagree. In fact part of him wants to say to hell with it and go back to HK but he doesn’t want to leave his kid. John wants to know what he’s going to do about it and Liam hasn’t a clue. When they hear a knock at the door, John disappears and Liam tells him that he’s no help. Also true.
It’s nuMac and uh oh, it appears that she’s been possessed by the Pimp a Kate ghost. The Pimp a Kate ghost takes over a character’s body (previously Jack, Jill, Fily) when there is a need to stupidly and randomly pimp Kate Valentine. Let’s see what mind-boggling stupid things the spirit will say today…
- Kate grew up a lot like nuMac.
- If he doesn’t go after Kate, she’ll marry someone else and his kid will be be raised by another man who may abuse Delia. Does he want that?
- By not rushing over to get Kate, he’s abandoning Delia.
So, let’s get this straight, doing right by D is staying with a chick he resents, who he will continue to treat like crap the longer they are together. AWESOME. A drunk, resentful father and a self-absorbed, doormat mother – that’s the kind of healthy environment that any well-adjusted child should grow up in! Someone call Oprah because she’s about to miss out on this winning example of parenthood!
NuMac? Shut up.
Then they have the obligatory pointless discussion about their relationship where Liam for some unknown reason keeps calling Raul “this guy” and nuMac shuts him down for the 500th time.
Don’t any of these people get tired of having the same conversation over and over again?
Next on Y&R: Ash finds a picture of Sabrina and TGVN in her hospital room. And…
Also…
Y&R Recap Tuesday, May 26th 2009
Tuesday’s recap is being brought to us by the letter “A,” for all those anvils that MAB continues to drop on us regarding the Cane/Langley/P3 storyline. Our fave head writer was back to her fave game of following every Cane scene, with one of Nina/Kay/Jill mourning P3.
Evil E made another mysterious phone call (in his defense, I think he was ordering room service or something, but with these two, it’s best to watch with the tv on mute, LOL), this time getting caught by his wifey. Fily’s all, “You’re not keeping secrets from me already are you?” And E’s all, “Girl, I got a wife and four kids back in Aussie Land, but nah boo, I’m not keeping anything from you.”
cut to…
Not only is it Cassie’s death-iversary, it’s also P3’s. Nina and Kay paid a visit to old P3’s grave. Too bad they don’t know he’s not really buried there, LOL. No spoilers guys, that’s just my guess. Nina reads a letter that P4 wrote to his father (when is he showing up in GC?), while Kay listens on.
After giving Fily some spiel about her being the only thing that matters in his life (I think that’s what he said. Have I mentioned that I mostly watch these two on mute?), Evil E is grinning from ear to ear, because he thinks he’s home safe, and his secrets will never be revealed. Little does he know, Nina is about to be hot on his trail.
cut to…
Nina is still just as perplexed as we all were when LML first introduced that ‘Kay switched babies’ storyline, and can’t wrap her head around the fact that Cane is the real Phillip, and her boo was a nobody. Neither can I Nina, neither can I.
Despite all the constipated looks Ethan was throwing everytime she mentioned Australia, Fily still didn’t get the hint. Wifey bought hubby and herself two tickets to spend two weeks in Australia (is the semester over already? b/c when was the last time we saw fily in school? just asking). Ethan was like, “Huh? Say what? Australia? Whatchu talkin’ ’bout girl?” Something tells me these two won’t be making it to Aussi-land.
cut to…
Jill interrupted Nina and Kay’s mourning moment, by being her usual bitch self. Jill is mad because Nina is questioning Cane’s validity as the Chancellor heir. You see, if Cane isn’t the real deal, then that means Jill could have been getting her Cougar on with him all this time. She’s salty y’all.
Throwing anvils wasn’t enough for MAB, she also had to show us some throwback scenes of P3 in his heyday. Nina shared with us a beautiful memory of P3 denying the baby she was carrying. Oh the memories, LOL.
Katherine shared with us a memory of Phillip III basically telling her that he’s not a drunk, he just likes to get his drink on. See guys, if you’re missing the anvils, MAB is setting up the scene for us as to why P3 would fake his death. He was troubled y’all!
More from Fily and Ethan guys! My word, have we ever seen this much of a soap couple’s honeymoon? Fily has finally figured out that Ethan doesn’t want to go with her to Aussi-land (ya think Fily?). She asks him if there aren’t any friends or family that he’d like to see. Ethan tells her that there’s nothing left for him in Australia. Sure there is Ethan. His name is…
Langley! also known as Uncle Langley! also known as P3! also known as Phillip Chancellor III! That is all.
cut to…
Nina is still going at Jill. Telling her how she can’t believe they used an alcoholic’s dreams, and a psychic as proof that Cane was the real P3. Oh, and about that one positive DNA test, Nina asked the same question we all have. Why, if one test wast negative, and the other positive, didn’t you do a third, just to be sure?
Woo, that was a lot, but unfortunately guys, there was more going on in GC that day, LOL.
Cryin’ Jack finally has something legit to cry about, and he confronted Liam about his sleeping with Sharin. Liam tried to blame it on the alcohol, but Cryin’ Jack wasn’t buying. He must not be a fan of Jamie Foxx.
Cryin’ Jack tried to get all self righteous and told Billy he needs to grow up. Umm Jack…have we forgotten that you slept with your father’s wife? Uh yeah. And, um jack…weren’t you fooling around on Patty, causing her to lose your baby? MJ/Patty is still after your ass all these years later. Moving on.
Jackie was giving Billy the evil eye, and that’s when Sharin chose to make her entrance, sensing that the proverbial ish was hitting the fan, Sharin tried to make a hasty exit, but she wasn’t so smooth.
Aww, look at the happy family. Those Abbotts have come a long way. I’m sure Ghost John is rolling around in his grave, LOL.
Billy took his pathetic self back to the pool house (question, Cane is no longer trying to take D, so why are they still living in the pool house? I’m just saying), where his wife started in with her nagging. So, Billy was all, “Ho be quiet.” And decided he needed to peace out.
After experiencing the day from hell, and thinking things couldn’t possibly get any worse, Billy found out that Mac accepted Raul’s marriage proposal. Buck up Billy! Their engagement is only a plot point. I’m sure you’ll be swapping spit with Mac again in no time.
Kate decided that she does have an ounce of self esteem, and finally left Liam. Thank you Kate. Although, like Liam, I don’t think this is gonna stick. But hey, maybe Kate will prove me wrong.
And in the rest of GC…
Ashley is still losing her mind,
and Adam is still an idiot.
Next on the Young and the Restless…
Y&R Recap:Monday, May 25, 2009
We open at Kay’s Super Awesome Pool Party (or SAPP, if you will). Raul’s back up on the scene slobbing Mac down! They have a little back and forth where the writers are basically like YOU WILL CALL THEM MAUL OR NOTHING AT ALL. Raul’s like ‘You didn’t tell Billy about us?” And Mac’s like “Hell naw!” and they leave.
Tyred and Neil are talking when Devon walks in. Neil says that Devon can help take things down to the car, but Devon has selective deafness and doesn’t respond. Tyred wants to know why Devon isn’t speaking to her and he confesses that it’s because she lied about being his aunt. Tyred tries to explain, but Devon is not trying to hear it.
Jana and Kevin flirt at CL, and Det. Chocolate Rain walks in to talk trash about Kay getting Kev and Amber off (y’all nasty) from jail time. Chocolate Thunder leaves a bunch of emails and letters from GC citizens saying how they can’t believe Hambergler and Kevin got away with their crimes.
Jana can’t find Dan, and Kevin informs her that it’s the anniversary of Cassie’s death, so he’s more than likely somewhere watching Beaches, and sobbing openly.
Shick are at the cemetery where Sharin’s informing The Scarecrow (If He Only Had A Brain) that she’s up the duff, and of course Phyllis is right off to the side listening in. He finally gets it together that all those symptoms Sharin had were morning sickness. Scarecrow wonders if the baby is his, and we have dramatic silence. So deep.
Hambergler and Nina are talking about P3 and Cane and not having the baby switch in the movie. Nina thinks it’s an important thing to have, and Hamber doesn’t want it in because it’ll hurt Kay. Hambergler is styled like a prosti-tot and she’s hurting my soul.
Liam and Jack discuss the fact that Mac has been seeing Raul, but Liam doesn’t want to hear or be reminded of anything that shows how much he’s not a free man anymore. Jack says how proud he is that Liam stepped up to be a husband and a father to Kate and Delia, and Liam looks constipated.
He goes out to Kate and shoves a plate in her claws, and she makes some remark about training men while they’re young. They’re so in love, y’all!
Maul’s talking in the living room discussing why Mac never told Liam what was up with them. Raul tells her that he thinks about them boning in a tent all the time after being do-gooders. The two tongue each other down once more.
At the GCAC, Jana’s talking to Daniel who is beating himself up over what events took place after Cassie’s death. Jana tells him that while he’s blaming himself, he should think about all the other things that wouldn’t have happened. She finally convinces him to go to Kay’s Super Awesome Pool Party, and they leave.
Back at the cemetary, Sharin’s explaining to the Scarecrow (and Phyllis) why she kept her mouth shut. Sharin says that she didn’t want to disrupt his life with Phyllis and he’s like “Phyllis who?” He is obviously ready to pack up Phyll’s stuff and drop her ass off at the nearest soup kitchen if Sharin gives him the word.
Back at the Maul, Mac’s saying how it feels like everyone from the Glow by Jabot house has gotten married and had a kid, so she’s not feeling right. But what of Rianna? What of Brittany!!! She doesn’t feel like she has anything in GC that’s just her own. Raul says that she has him, and they smile at each other and are adorable! I’m so surprised by how quickly I like these two. Liam comes walking down the stairs and Mac calls him into the living room. They didn’t mean to keep their relationship a secret but they didn’t want to hurt him. It caught the two of them off guard and when they separated, they weren’t sure about where they stood as a couple. Liam asks where they stand now, and they adorably link hands while Liam tears up and is all “Whatever, that’s cool.”
Kevin grabs Hambergler, who I think has gotten the wardrobe department over their Mac hate and are now directing it toward her because WHAT IN THE HELL is that swimsuit? He tells her about all the hate mail they have and she’s all wtf? Hamber tries to talk Kevin down. It’s not his fault he turned into a crazy and went on a crime spree in a chipmunk uniform. Nothing like a little enabling to get this party started!
Kate walks over to Jack, she wants the scoop on Raul. He gives her the basics and then his phone rings.
It’s Phyllis and she’s pretty distraught. She begs him to come over because it’s an emergency, and then we flip back to Shick. The Scarecrow wants to be there for the next ultrasound but Sharin turns him down. They don’t even know if the baby is his, but Scarecrow is certain that it is because of Cassie’s deathbed prediction that they would have another daughter. Sharin can’t buy that because it would mean that they’re destined to get back together. Listen, lady, if I want to hear about fate and destiny, I’ll go find Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald.
Raul explains to Liam that he didn’t want to hurt him by being with Mac, but he figures that Liam’s moved on. Oh, Raul, bless your heart. He says he wants to marry Mac, and Liam constipated-ly gives his blessing.
Over at Restless Loft, Jack’s walking in all “This better be good, Esther made those awesome mini cupcakes and if they’re all gone when I get back I’m gonna be pissed.” Big Red must’ve been watching some Chappelle’s Show earlier, because she gets her What Did The Five Fingers Say To The Face on. Jack gives her this awesome look that implies that in this moment he is totally willing to forget that she’s a woman and dropkick her ass across the room.
Phyll screams that he’s a liar and that she knows Sharin is pregs. They could both lose the people they love over this and it could all be for nothing if Billy’s the father. Oops! Jackie had no idea of this, and looks horrified.
Neil and Tyred are arriving at the SAPP and Kay calls Neil her number one man. Murphy’s all, what about me? And Kay gives the most awesome derisive, dismissive laugh I have ever seen on daytime between two people who are supposed to be so enamored of each other.
Esther almost botches her one line of dialogue and takes Tyred over to where she can change into her swimsuit. Nina comes over to Neil and they play catch-up. I appreciate that there are all these scenes with Nina meeting up with people from her past, yet I can’t help but wonder why if showing those past connections are so important, why haven’t Billy or Mac had a proper scene with JT? MAB, please free Jeffrey Todd from the broom closet!
Sharin and Billy talk, and I’m only even talking about it because of this awesome face Billy makes:
Back at RS, Phyll is trying to backpedal like a mofo, but Jack’s not having it. He wants to know how long it’s been going on.
He’s devastated that not only does Sharin know that Phyllis knows about her and Billy, but Sharin admitted it to her. Jack rightly throws her previous words about the two of them having to deal with the pregnancy back in her face.
Sharin interrupts Dan and Hamber at the SAPP and asks if they can talk in private.
Apparently she’s been trying to find him and talk to him and wonders if he’s avoiding her. He admits that he was so it wouldn’t be too hard on her. Sharin says that everyone does stupid things every now and then, but we don’t expect anyone to die. Dan’s still beating himself up and Sharin reminds him that no one forced Cassie to drive Dan’s car that night, and tells him that he needs to start forgiving himself.
Murphy starts to make a speech, and Kay is like “WHOA, homie, we never discussed you speaking in public.”
Murphy pours a little something out for the homies that ain’t here, and Sharin abruptly leaves while Esther awesomely makes this awesome face.
Back at the Abbott shack, Kate’s trying to get Liam to talk about how he really feels about Maul. She pushes him to cheer up, reminding him that he still has her. And Jesus wept.
The SAPP is over, the kids leave, and Kay tells Nina that if she feels that having the baby switch in the screenplay is important, then do it. Esther tells Kate that she’s sad they had to leave early, and Liam is literally just standing there playing with a curtain cord. WOW.
The spawn starts crying, and Kate asks why he didn’t come over and, you know, try to comfort the crying child and Liam’s all WHAT’S WITH THE THIRD DEGREE, WOMAN??? I have a stroke for a moment and agree with Kate that his attitude is getting old, but then she has to ruin it by saying that she’s the only good thing he’s got left. Liam’s basically like LOL and leaves the room.
RAUL PROPOSES!!!!!!!
Back at the magazine, The Scarecrow tells Phyll that he wasn’t alone at the cemetary–he was with Noah. Nick tries to find out what’s going on with Phyllis, who is totally unconvincing as she denies that there’s anything wrong.
Sharin tells Noah about the baby, and this is literally the first time I’ve seen NuNoah in a scene. He seems really sweet as he starts talking about getting a crib and getting the nursery together.
Jack’s at a mostly empty GCAC having flashbacks to the morning after of the first time Sharin and Billy had sex. His phone ringing snaps him out of his thoughts, and when he sees that it’s his little brother calling, he throws his phone against the wall. Now he can upgrade to a Blackberry!
Next time on Y&R, Lily asks Cane if he’s keeping secrets already, while Cane wonders how the hell she figured it out so fast.
Call It What You Want To, 5/22/09 Wrapped!
Well it’s that time again. It’s time to wrap up another week of Y&R. So it’s been two weeks since my last wrap and a few things have changed. No Fily is still as useless as ever, but she did get married, in a wedding that would have made the Coyote proud with the amount of anvils that were being dropped at the rehearsal dinner, wedding, AND reception. I wasn’t privy to covering the wedding “thank God” but I’m proud to bring you two days of the reception (well not really) followed by dry humping, day dreaming, parents in mourning , the Scooby Doo Gang and Mary Jane. There were some other things that happened, and I’ll get to that, IF I can remember what they were. Yall I am so proud of me, because I actually remember what happened, or at least I think I did. Hell, I watched the last three Episodes this morning and all I remember that Cassie is dead, Fethen were in bed and MJ’s going to cut off Jacks head.
So here it is my analysis, or Call it what you want to, longer than normal (too much stuff in one week) still sweet and always real!
I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but Delusional Truth, so help me DB’s.
This weeks wrap is brought to you buy Kraft Blue Cheese.

Get out your umbrellas its raining Anvils.
Fily and Evil Ethan celebrated their reunion with a reception and then a honeymoon. There was a running theme throughout of Lily telling EE how grateful she was to be married to such an honest guy, and how she feels so safe with him. How EE never lied, how EE would hurt her, how the sun shines out of EE’s ass and she’ll never need sunscreen. EE told Fily that it was because of her, that he was a changed man. That she changed him and his plans for world domination. “You always see the good in people”, EE is hoping that that’s true, but let’s face it we all know Fily! She may not see the anvils now, but once she does, she’ll be out of there, faster than you can say “beep, beep”. Analysis, Lily better get her some SFP75 cause when the ISH hits the fan, she’s going to get burned!!
Nina reminisced about P3! P3! Not knowing that he’s not (Read: IS) really a Chancellor. How complex P3! Was how much she missed P3! How P3 wasn’t switched at birth with Evil Ethan. How P3! P3! P3! P3! P3! Did stuff! All the while Chlamber (Read: Chloe and Amber always clambering after some man, because they are both pathetic, one worse than the other, you choose) sat listening and fueling the EE is a fake flames. Analysis, The writing was so heavy that only someone with their head in sand would need an analysis, and I don’t speak Ostrich!!!
Suprise, Suprise, We got some Screen time!
Paul is stalking MJ, and asking a lot of questions, while she’s bobbing and weaving like a Mike Tyson was against Evander Holyfield. MJ saw Jack and pretended that all was right as rain, but she’s one Bullet away from taking Sharon out. Analysis, Paul better be happy that he’s her brother or he’d loose more than an ear, are you listening Jack.
What a week for the Winters. Other than Fily getting married, Devon discovered from his real Aunt that Tired isn’t his aunt, and that his Bio-Dad never knew about him. Analysis, Tired is a lying ho and Devon’s been put on recurring so he’s got to go.
Neil after claiming that he was so in love with Karen, once again hit the sheets with Tired. I think they made it to a bed this time, IDK my trigger finger was in full effect, all I know is that they did the deed. Analysis, Neil doesn’t know that Ho from Evil Ethan, like father, like daughter.
The longest Quad in history continues.
Sharon and Jack continued to play house, both knowing what a complete sham it is, but still intending to go down this short path to Nowhere!! Sharon told Jack that she needs Nick, but he needs Belltones because he just wasn’t hearing the words coming out of her mouth. (Read: I don’t want you, and hope this isn’t your baby! Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, etc) Analysis, REALLY! Do you even need one!
Nick and Phyllis bumped uglies like always, followed by a talk about Sharon and how she needs him. Phyllis listened and tried to pull him from the edge, but Nick was insistent on going over it, everyone else be dammed. Because he his Nick Newman and his Ish don’t stink. Analysis, Nick is a prick and he needs to learn that there is some Ish, that your wife doesn’t want to hear!!!
Sharon and Phyllis had a good scene, where Sharon lied to Phyllis and herself about not wanting Nick. While Phyllis let herself be lied to because like Sharon, she is also an idiot when it comes to the Captain of the “SS I’M A Prick” Nick. Analysis, Sharon and Phyllis have great chem, they should dump their dead weights, become lesbians, and raise their children together.
Nick and Jack talked about Sharon. Where Nick continued his mantra of Sharon needs me to live, Sharon needs me to survive, Sharon can not live with out, Sharon is so hot, and I can’t wait to hit that again. Jack was all what the FOCK!! Analysis, See Phick !!
It has been four years sense Cassie’s death (although Summer’s about five) and while Nick & Sharon are in mourning, I just don’t feel that bad. I hated that character, she wouldn’t fit in today, and also if she’d been alive, we’d have missed all of the great acting over her death. So please take a moment of silence to thank Cassie for dying…………………………………………………..Moving on.
Sharon also had a scene with Liam, he was an asshole, enough said.
The Scooby Doo Gang
Daniel and Amber discussed how he’s not in love with her enough to want to marry her. She’s all, ‘my clock is ticking.’ and Daniels like, ‘WTF does that have to do with me?’ Note to Amber: Do NOT ask a man about marriage after he was just cozy with his first love, which he’d still be married to if it weren’t for YOU!! Who he still loves more than YOU and will never come close to loving YOU as much as HER, got it. Daniel is also working for the feds in storyline that so far has failed to hold my attention. Analysis, Daniel and Amber over, and I hope MG saw every script before he re-signed, because so far, this mess isn’t worth his time.
Jana and Kevin discussed how he was a standup guy and Liam was a jerk and it’s not like Kevin tried killing someone he loved. Jana was all you’re perfect and Kevin was like, I love how you lie to me. Analysis, they are both crazy!
The Worst Tri-In Soap History!!
It’s hard to have a tri when the two females have more chemistry with each other, than either has with the male, and it’s not a LESBIAN love story.
Liam and Kate did what they do best; they played around like two BFF’s who know that they should never try to be any thing more. Of course that was ruined by the dry humping, but Liam must have had better (Read: Miss Freaky) because it wasn’t long before he was sniffing around Mac. Analysis, Liam is a dirty dog and Kate deserves just what she’s getting. Once question, WHO in the HELL, believes that Liam loves Kate and vice versa, please raise your hands. That’s what I thought moving on!!
Kate and Mac bonded over what a loser Liam is, and Kate really believes that Mac doesn’t want Liam. Mac was all, “I had this serious relationship while I was in Darfur”, and I’m like hmm, why is it that I’ve never got an inkling of this before, but Kate’s all “Hallelujah Praise Be”. Analysis, Mac wants Liam, and it doesn’t take a psychic to knows this, only someone with common sense, which Kate doesn’t seem to have.
Mac and Liam, did their dry dance again, he chased her, she shut him down, he said “I’m God’s gift to women,” she said “Bitch Please,” while I was thinking “get it on, so you can move ON”. Raul showed up, and was the guy who Mac protested too much about to Kate, and laid a kiss on her in front of Liam, who stood their with his ___ in his hands. Analysis, Mac is NOT in love with Raul, if she were, she would have been daydreaming about him and NOT Liam!!! Liam needs to get over himself, because he was a real asshole this week and the ONLY reason he’s not getting the coveted STFU award, is because of Kate and US!!!!
STFU AWARD
 |
| From Blogger Pictures |
Kate it’s been a LONG time coming, but I have finally paid attention to you long enough to where I can present you with this most awesome reward. Kate STFU!!! I am so sick of your whiny ass, boo hoo poor lil me, I went to a boarding school with rich kids, and I went to college without taking out loans, yall should feel bad for me mantra. Bitch please, you need to STFU and look at the world outside your window. Kate you are SOOO PATHETIC, why the hell are you chasing a man who is so obviously in love with another woman! O but he loves you more than he’s letting on, O REALLY, was that when he was hovering over your hospital bed when you almost died? Or was that when he asked Lily in the middle of your labor how she was doing, while he took his sweet ass time going to find help for you? Or maybe it was when he was screwing Sharon the night before your wedding and many nights after that!! But he loves you. Again, Bitch please. WTF are you smoking, because it must be some good Ish for you to think that Liam is in love with you. AND IF by some twist of the pen, they try to make that true, NOT even an Ostrich would buy that!! So Kate, again, STFU, because he don’t love you Ho. He loves a Ho alright and his name is Liam. NOW Kate, WHY in the Hell, are you whining to Mac, asking why she just can’t give you a day? Why should she? WTF have you done in your tired ass life to deserve Mac not up in your ISH 247? NOTHING, that’s what! You lied about the spawn, helped to break up Fily and Fillip (EE was Fillip back in the day), you were ALL up in Filly’s (Who you had the NERVE to attempt to apologize to, WTF EVA HO!) face about you being Phillips wife singing the same damn song again, but this time to Mac. You keep opening that garbage can of yours, spewing your trash, which no one cares to, or wants to hear. Like that BS about how “you don’t like humiliating yourself, because that’s not you.” There isn’t a DAMN thing on MY screen or ANYONE else’s that belies that fact. Trick you humiliated yourself when you said that stupid Ish, even Amber was looking at you like Bitch please, your dumb ass is worse than me. Kate you need to STFU. Your mamma knows it, the spawn knows it, Liam knows it, and EVERYONE including YOU knows it. But this will be hard for you, so here’s what you do, go down to Pet Smart buy a muzzle and use it, because that is the ONLY way that it is guaranteed that you will STFU!!!!!!!

Y&R Recap Friday, May 22nd 2009
Today’s recap is being brought to you by Cassie’s Death-iversary. Yeah y’all! It’s still going on. It’s a week long event. You didn’t know?
Sharin’s preparing to go to the cemetery to mourn her baby girl, and Cryin’ Jack is still whining and nagging. See, Cryin’ Jack is starting to get the picture that MAB means to make Sharin’s baby another Newman spawn. So Cryin’ Jack is shook y’all! He’s begging Sharin to not tell Niclueless about her bun in the oven. But Sharin let’s Cryin’ Jack know upfront, that if she sees her man, she will tell him she’s having his baby. Bye Jackie! Pick your jaw up from the floor.
Meanwhile at notVogue, Big Red’s charms aren’t working quite like they used to on her old man. See, Niclueless has dipped his toe in the lake called Sharin, one too many times. And that sex haze that Big Red had him in? It’s wearing off. Big Red is telling her old man that she can help him get through Cassie’s death-iversary, but Niclueless is not hearing it. He needs his old, old lady to get him through this tough day. Bye Big Red. Pick your jaw up from the floor.
Spouse Swap Time!
This isn’t what you had in mind when I said ‘Spouse Swap,’ was it? Yeah, I don’t get it either. Sharin had the bright idea to hide out from Niclueless by spending quality time with Big Red at notVouge. I knew Sharin was a little foolish, but who knew she was suicidal? Big Red will run over a ho, no questions asked. Just ask PI Paul. Oh wait, he doesn’t know about that. Moving on then…
Sharin and Big Red were chatting it up, and so were Cryin’ Jack and Niclueless. Honestly, I have no idea what these fools were talking about. Between Cryin’ Jack’s wails of agony, and Niclueless’ blank stares, I didn’t pay attention to the conversation. Oh well. If I missed something important, y’all let me know in the comments. Thank you!
And now the moment we’ve all been waiting for…
Sharin throws Cryin’ Jack’s words out the window, and tells her one true love that she could be carrying his baby. Could be. Nick, there are two other possible baby daddies, but I don’t want to ruin your moment. Oh yeah, Big Red also overheard the joyous news. She mad y’all. She real mad.
I have to give MAB credit. That lady sure knows how to throw an anvil. If you didn’t spot MAB’s anvil dropping skills, peep how she followed every Lily/Cane scene, with one of Nina asking questions and/or talking about P3/Cane. We get it MAB, Cane’s a fraud, and P3 is coming back to GC.
Exhibit #1
Fily’s doing her usual fawning over how perfect Ethan is, and Ethan’s doing his usual looking her in her eye and lying to her with a straight face.
Cut to…
Nina is telling Amber that the P3/Cane baby swap should be a major focus of the Kay Movie. Amber’s not feeling it though. Homegirl is shook. Could she be in on the plot with Evil Ethan?
Exhibit #2
Fily’s telling Evil E that he restored her trust/faith in men. When you’ve got one ex husband who set you up to be drugged and raped, and another boo? fling? man friend? who lied to you about fathering your archenemy’s baby, that’s a difficult thing to do. But old Evil E, just kept his Blue Steel on, and kept up with the lying. Play on, playa.
Cut to…
Amber is still bobbing and weaving around exactly how did Evil E discover he was related to Jill. Good thing Amber’s got a friend in Kate. Girlfriend spilled to Nina that it was Amber who set Evil E up with Jill. And that Amber also kinda sorta trapped Evil E into marriage, just like Kate did. Kate’s all, “We were out to bag a Chancellor.” And Nina’s all, “You, too?”
Exhibit #3
Fily’s still telling Evil E how perfect he is, and that she feels safe with him. Oh Fily. And Evil E just keeps smiling. Playa, play on.
Cut to…
Amber is rolling her eyes while Nina tells her how much she misses P3 and wishes he were still alive. Guess what Nina? Wishes do come true, because P3 is hiding out in Australia, and he’s going by the name of Langley. Ask Evil E all about it. Fily is…
Exhibit #4
Yeah, I can’t believe it either. Fily had a breakthrough moment, and realized that she knows nothing about the last 38 years of her 40 year old husband’s life. She tells Evil E that she wants to go to Aussie land to learn all about his past before she starts poppin out babies. Evil E pauses for a moment, and shucks and jives his way out of that discussion. Fily, there will be no trip to Australia for you. You have been SHUT. DOWN.
Cut to…
Yeah y’all, Nina is still talking about P3. I’m with Amber, MAB we get. it. Nina will be the one to go head to head with Evil E and discover his dark secrets. Message delivered. Thanks MAB!
Between Shick/Shack/Phick/Phack and Evil E & his harem, you’d think there wasn’t anything else in this episode. But there was y’all! Can’t forget about Liam and his woes.
Kay and Murphy are having a Memorial Day bash, and Kate and Liam are getting ready. Now that Kate and Mac are best buds, Kate shares all of Mac’s secrets with Liam. She can’t help but rub it in Liam’s face that Mac has a boo. Who knew genocide and torture set the perfect atmosphere to find a man? Yeah, me neither. Liam’s also not buying it, and he tells Kate that Mac’s mystery boo is just a fairytale.
At the same time Liam is denying Boo’s existence, Mac is telling Kay all about him. Kay is asking Mac the question I’m sure we all had our minds. Mac, if you had this boo, and were so in love, why are we just hearing about him? Plot point perhaps?
The Abbott B Team (because you know Liam and Kate are just warming the bench for the ‘real’ Abbotts) make their appearance at Kay’s bbq, and it takes Liam just .5 seconds to make a fool of his wife.
It also took Liam .5 seconds to make a fool of himself, by throwing himself at Mac, and telling her that he knows her ‘boyfriend’ is a fake. Liam, stop. Just stop. Even though Mac is having dreams about sexin you up, she has a man. Don’t believe me? Liam, just wait.
With all this talk of boyfriends, and not boyfriends, guess who shows up? A man. And not just any man. It’s Raul Gutierrez, y’all! Glow by Jabot reunion time (with two impostors and an absent JT, but who’s counting?)! Liam made a fool of Kate one more time, by introducing his best friend to everyone but her. Not be outdone, Kate introduced herself, and Raul couldn’t believe Liam was married…to her. Yeah Raul, I can’t believe it either.
If Raul’s most random and convenient arrival hadn’t clued you in to his true identity, then this whopper of a kiss he laid on Mac should have. Raul is Mac’s mystery boo, y’all! Yeah, I’m not buying it, and neither is Liam. He mad y’all. He real mad.
Next time on the Young & the Restless…
Performance of the Week 5/18, Adrienne Frantz
During our usual, whose the daddy storylines, triangles, rushed marriages, I would like to give kudos to Adrienne Frantz playing as Amber Moore for her scene with Daniel after the wedding. Of course, this was only a scene of the week, and Amber’s character returned to her usual normal bubblehead, catty, bitter self, but there was a scene this week where I recognized something different in Amber’s character, I almost ALMOST sympathized with her (I couldn’t completely due to my views on this issue) and I think Adrienne played the scene really well.
After months of seeing a relationship between Danber and the only serious conversations between the two were really based on her impulses for trouble and Daniel warning her about her actions. There was also, some time last year where we saw her moan in regret of her one night stand causing her to flush her relationship down the drain. But what I didn’t expect to see, nor feel, was the pain of Amber wanting something more from her relationship with Daniel. If you think about it, they have this great friendship and we can tell they enjoy sleeping with each other, but when it comes to their dreams and future, they are on two different sides of the country. At the wedding, she sets herself up to catch the bouquet, talks about “always a bridesmaid, never a bride” with Kate. She gets irritated when Daniel makes a few negative comments about marriage and instead of TAIC allowing us to watch her pine and cry for months without saying a word. After the wedding, Amber calls him out, makes him have a real conversation about their future with her.
There are alot of women who feel this way right now and Amber brings in her past story from B&B in the mix-loosing children, along with her biological clock and how she wants more. And there is this blank and serious look from Daniel that says, he married young and that isn’t what he wants right now and if it is an ultimatum, then tough luck. The look on her face and also the lack of Amber with a comeback says it all; it says, I can’t let this go, it hurts too much, but also, what will she do? Will she continue to let this bother her? Trick him as Kate suggested? This was a great scene, because not many couples on soaps recognize the differences in relationships-age, past relationships, etc. they never discuss their future, when they are thrown together nine times out of ten it is mainly on impulse.
So I am giving props to Adrienne Frantz for making me feel this scene and almost feel her pain (I would feel it if I was one of those women) . Trust me, it was difficult to feel it, I am not an Amber Moore fan, but with all of the same old, same old, Sharon crying, Phyllis angry, Jack and Billy mess. This scene was a different direction and I never find the 4 Musketeers entertaining unless it is sane Kevin. But hey, if the actor can make me feel for a character that I loathe and make me understand what they’re feeling, then I’ve seen a great performance.
Y&R Recap. Thursday, May 21st 2009
Kate’s talking to Baby D about her missing all the action that went down the night before. Please get some friends Kate. D has to listen to this crap in real time – does she have to hear about it when she‘s been away too?
Jack comes in looking for Liam but he finds out that Liam just went off on a “special work assignment”. Jack looks at Kate as if she’s possibly the dumbest chick he’s ever seen but goes along with it anyway. After looking around the fuchsia room, he tells her that she has great taste and she thanks him, not realizing that Jackie’s suffering from colour blindness.
Kate, who must have mugged a bag lady, is wearing a lace see through top over a black bra and a chunky plastic necklace. Fashionista WHAT? She thanks Jack for talking to Liam at Jimmy’s and he tells her that he didn’t really say anything. The two agree that Billy does the impulsive thing first without thinking about what happens afterwards, which coming from these two … Mr & Mrs. Pot, let me introduce you to Sir Kettle.
Paul’s at MJ’s hotel room door taking a page from Liam’s book and getting his stalk on. He asks her to have lunch with him because he’s sure he’s seen her before. She hems and haws but finally relents when Paul doesn’t take no for an answer. They go to dine in the AC dining room so that Paul can interrogate her some more.
Downstairs, MJ has gloriously donned a pair of movie star sunglasses big enough to cover half her face because after spending thousands on plastic surgery the sunglasses will really put her over the top. Paul asks her where she’s from. She tells him NY. Is that her home base? Nope, it’s a tiny little town called Eustis, Nebraska. Where she’d go to college? An all girls’ school. Was she once a man? Does she sniff glue? Coke or Pepsi? And she giggles at his ridiculousness but unfortunately for her Paul knows that laugh!
MJ seeing that no pair of sunglasses will deter an inquisitive Paul Williams feigns a headache and leaves. In her room, she checks in with TGVN and downstairs Paul calls in to get a background check on this obvious impostor.
Summer has given Nick and Big Red a picture of their family over at RS, which makes him think of Cassie and the good ol’ days. He’s having a tough time of it; sometimes he can’t believe Cassie’s gone. Red wants to take the pain away but Nick is fine. Red gave him Summer and that’s enough! Red tells him that they’re married and she can handle anything he’s going through. She wants to know what’s bothering him. She wants him to talk to her.
Except what clueless Nicky wants to talk about is Sharin. Red’s like, “So, when I said I wanted you to tell me how you were feeling I meant, let’s talk about ME and MY needs.” But Nick won’t be deterred from his favourite subject. He regrets his behaviour, leaving Sharin to deal with the Cassie stuff alone. If he hadn’t been such a dick, maybe Sharin wouldn’t be the way she is now. Red’s all, “You’re a different man from the one that slept with Sharin twice last month. You wouldn’t leave your family for a tenth time. Nine maybe. But ten?”
He agrees and this time he’s not going to sit back and let Sharin deal with everything by herself. Nick, you see is going to bring Sharin “back” because he’s so damn awesome. Red’s all, “Bitch – you aren’t her HUSBAND. You’re my husband. MY HUSBAND.” She tells him that Sharin might actually want to move on (*scoff*) and he’s not letting her do that by always being around. Besides what about Red? Why, she’s just as needy as Sharin!
Meanwhile, at the Abbott Abode Sharin is upset thinking about Cassie when Liam walks into the room. Liam is thankfully wearing hair product today and he may have even taken a bath. Seeing Sharin crying, he asks if she and Jack are okay and she tells him that they’re fine; she’s crying over her many other issues. She asks him if her being in the house makes him uncomfortable and he wonders why she’s asking a question she already knows the answer to.
He wants them to keep it all quiet. The truth should come out only and he means ONLY if he’s the father. Instead of telling him that there’s a third contender in the baby sweepstakes – It’s not like Liam has any room to judge – Sharin tells him that Jack knows she was with someone else, just not Liam.
Liam tells her that if the baby is his he will love it but this is not the ideal situation for him because Jackie’s like a father to him and he loves him. You should have thought about that before you let your penis do all of the talking Liam. He tells her that he hopes Jackie never finds out about them just as Jackie walks into the room.
Jack’s all, “I smell shadiness” and Liam bounces before he can confess to anything. When he’s gone, Jack and Sharin have a heart to heart where he tells her that she’s a good person and she’ll be a wonderful mother. He thinks that this 100th time around they’ll really make it work!
That is if she doesn’t tell Nick that he could be the father. Nick has Summer and Red and if she tells him that he‘s the father and he isn‘t, then she would have ruined lives for nothing. Sharin tells Jack that she needs Nick right now. He’s the only one that knows the pain of losing Cassie. Jack still thinks it’s a bad idea and Sharin finally agrees.
Back at Not!Vogue, Nick is avoiding his conversation with Red by looking over Summer‘s drawings. Red brings up the idea of a family vacation but Nick puts it off. He needs a couple more days to figure things out. The first order of business is to decide which family he’s actually bringing on vacation. Red kisses him and goes off to do some errands and as soon as she leaves, Nick drops Summer like a hot potato. Because when the mouse is away, the douche will play. He calls Sharin but she doesn’t pick up the phone. For now.
Back at the fuchsia pool house, Kate discovers that nuMac called Liam’s phone and she goes off to make trouble. Meanwhile, the current bane of Kate’s existence is reliving the good old days – listening to her and Liam wailing drunkenly on her stereo. At least, I hope they were drunk.
Everyone is getting ready for the barbecue – pool floating devices and all – when Mac tells Kay that seeing Liam this unhappy is really hard. Even if he left Kate, he’d still be miserable because he’d miss the kid and feel like he let her down.
Kate having already booked it over, walks in looking for Liam and it’s like a face-off of ugly when her lace shirt meets nuMac’s patterned tube dress. To Kate’s surprise, Liam’s not there. Yet. But this is the perfect time for Kate and nuMac to have a little chat. Kay and the baby make themselves scarce and Kate gets to it.
She tells nuMac that if that if it weren’t for Baby D she wouldn’t even be humiliating herself like this she’d just say to hell with them both. Oh, that is rich. VALENTINE, that is rich! So now she’s only with Liam for the baby, is it? She trucked her ass up a mountain in a blizzard to stalk him when she was about to give birth because the baby was SO important then. If she thinks anyone but Mac is buying what she’s selling, she is fooling herself. First, you don’t need a man to raise a baby and secondly, Liam doesn’t need to be married to her to be in D’s life.
So Kate dear, let me give you some advice. If you don’t like humiliating yourself like this:
GET A DIVORCE OR STFU! Have a nice day.
NuMac informs her that what she really misses is her friendship with Liam. “More than the sex?” Kate inserts and NuMac tells her that there was no sex in the champagne room, just in her dreams, which Kate just can’t, can’t (!) imagine. Finally, to shut her up, Mac drops the bomb that she was seriously involved with someone else until very recently. Some do-gooder in Darfur – because nothing says sexy time like a civil war.
Liam seeing the missed nuMac call as some kind of invitation goes over to the house and sees that Kate and Baby D are already there. He overhears her telling nuMac to bring a date to the barbeque – maybe that guy she was talking about earlier! She’s all, “Why don’t you write him? Call him? Take a jet out to see him? Huh? Huh? HUH?” And nuMac’s like, “I’m not desperate like you, Kate.” Inside Kate hears a door close but doesn’t realize that it’s Liam going off to cry about this new discovery.
He walks into the fuchsia pool house but his tears must wait because Jackie is waiting for him. Jack tells him that Sharin told him what they talked about and Liam puffs out his chest like he’s ready to get bitch slapped. Unfortunately, Jack just thanks him for looking out for him and Liam feels like even more of a tool. Jack tells him that he knows the kid might not be his but he wants Sharin and the baby in his life. Liam contemplates letting him have Kate and Baby D as well but instead tells his brother that Sharin’s baby couldn’t have a better father. They hug ignoring all signs of impending doom.
Next on Y&R: Mac tells Kay about her do-gooder lover … and Raul returns. Also…
Y&R Recap Wednesday, May 20th 2009
Today’s recap is brought to you by the late Cassie Newman (yes, it’s that time of year again, Cassie’s death anniversary)…
Oh, those were the days. Cassie was still alive and cute, and her parents were still decent people. Boy how time flies. Now Niclueless is bouncing from woman to woman, and Sharin has a three way who’s the daddy mystery than can only be solved by the greatness that is Maury Povich.
Enough with the good times though, let’s get back to the here and now…
Sharin’s having a rough time, y’all! Not only is she a kleptomaniac, she’s also a nymphomaniac, too. What a hell of a combination. After weeks of knowing she has a problem, Sharin finally decided to seek help. What finally clued you in Sharin that you needed to get your head looked at? Was it the blackouts? Or the stealing? Or maybe it was all the random sex? Whatever it was though, obviously it wasn’t enough, because as soon as things got real, Sharin threw up the deuces to her therapist. Bye girl!
Sharin was busy stepping up her therapy game, while Big Red and Niclueless were talking about…something. I really wasn’t paying attention, but I’m sure it went like this:
Big Red: “Sure you slept with Sharin two times, I trust that you won’t do it again.”
Niclueless: “Um, yeah, sure. You know I love both of you hos right?”
Big Red: “Nick, I forgive you…again. As long as you don’t leave. So you’ll leave Sharin alone?”
Niclueless: “Um, yeah, sure. I’m recommitted to you. Just let me holla at Sharin for a second.”
Big Red: “I still forigive you boo!”
Niclueless: “Um, yeah, sure.”
Jack meanwhile, is continuing to be as clueless about Mary Jane/Patty as her brother Paul is. Jack, clearly Mary Jane is familiar as all get out with the Abbott Mansion. Open your eyes fool, the ho has lived there before. Jack is playing a dangerous game though, he broke Mary Jane off some, and now he’s dumping her. Jack, beware of the crazy broads. They don’t play nice.
How convenient. Right after calling things off again with Paul’s sister, excuse me, I mean Mary Jan Benson, Jack ran into Paul at Crimson Lights. Paul it seems, has taken the Kate Valentine online course in Stalking 101, and is searching for Mary Jane. Jack, so surprised to learn that Paul is not dead like his lack of airtime would lead you to assume, points the PI in the right direction.
Paul has found his prey, but that Mary Jane is a slick one, and homegirl manages to escape Paul’s scrutiny. Next time PI Paul. Next time.
After running into long lost Paul Williams, Jack stopped by notVogue to visit his favorite ex wife. And while they pretended to hold a normal conversation, each one of them was thinking about secrets that would ruin the other. Jack reminisced on Sharin sharing her pregnancy news. And Big Red thought back to Sharin sharing her goodies with Liam. With friends like these two, who need enemies?
Of course while the cat’s away, the mice will play, and Niclueless used his free time wisely (or not so much, you be the judge) to visit his favorite ex wife. Sharin’s still being all avoidy about her bun in the oven, because Smilin’ Jack convinced her that it’s best if no one else knows about baby Niclueless. Jack, you are not the father. You know Sharin and Niclueless are about to be reunited, so Jack please stop fronting, and let Sharin tell her real baby daddy that he’s about to be a pops.
Gotcha! Seems like PI Paul learned well at the Kate Valentine Shchool of Stalking. Dude tracked Mary Jane all the way down to her room at the GCAC. Not that it was too difficult. Where else would Patty, I mean, Mary Jane be staying?
Back at the Abbott mansion, Sharon was having a moment mourning her deceased daughter, it’s that anniversary you know. It was a nice, silent moment for Sharon, until Cryin’ Jack interrupted.
Sharin begged Jack to take her away from GC to have her baby in peace. But of course Cryin’ Jack wasn’t hearing it. Jack, please find your balls. You are better than this. Sharin don’t love you, ho. She loves Niclueless. Sharin knows it, Niclueless knows it, Big Red knows it, America and Canada knows it, and deep down, Cryin Jack, I think you know it to. At this point, I don’t know who’s trying more desperately to hold on to someone that doesn’t want them, you, Big Red, or Kate.
Speaking of Kate…
Not only is this chick a fashionista (yeah right), she’s also an interior designer (yeah right). Kate got the bright idea to paint the Abbott pool house hot pink. Um, I don’t get it either. There must have been something about that pink paint though, because it got Kate and Liam in the mood for se– eww, I can’t say it.
Oops, we seem to be having technical difficulties. Oh well, I think I just threw up in my mouth anyway.
After doing the deed, and being handed a condom by Kate (ho, you couldn’t think of that before you conceived D?), Liam was having a few regrets. Liam, if you thought with your brain instead of your head, you wouldn’t be in the situation you’re in. Of course Liam was also thinking about his lady love Mac.
Despite what Liam thinks, Mac isn’t as nun like as she seems. Homegirl had a fantasy of her own about Liam, and it included all the essentials for a steamy dream– big, eighties hair? check. a long cougar-esque silk night gown? check. and harsh fluorescent lighting? check. Oh Mac you naughty girl you.
Can these two just get it on already and get it out of their systems? Poor things have been waiting for six long years.
The idiots in charge, finally gave Mac an outfit that didn’t look like it could be worn by Katherine Chancellor, and let her out into GC to visit old friend Kevin. Together they had a good laugh over how miserable Liam is. Yeah guys, it is kind of funny. Liam does have that whole ‘trapped animal in a cage’ thing going on. Liam, you know you can leave any time you want to right?
On the other side of town, Jana was checking out what Danielle had to offer. Go ahead Jana, sample the goods, Kevin and Amber never have to know.
And while Amber was modeling the latest in Ho Chic, Danielle was wearing an outfit that I, a female, would wear exactly how he’s styled it. Danielle’s style game is on point, from the mint green tee, to the ripped flared jeans, all the way down to the hot pink thong sandals. Girlfriend’s got style. Two snaps for the kids!

Y&R Recap Monday, May 18th 2009
Been gone for a minute but I’m back with the jump-off. And lookie-lookie to my surprise, I have the honor of covering the HOs and Haters Ball.
Word on the street is that HOs have been lobbying for this event to be in GC for sometime. Since many HOs are haters, the planning committee decided to make this a joint event. I was very fortunate to get an interview with Ethan Ashby aka Fillip so I will be inserting quotes from him throughout. Now, enough from me and on to the coverage.
One of the stars at this event was none other than Tyra (if that’s her real name). It is sooo obvious that wishes she could get down with a P.I.M.P like Fillip whose back hand left is strong. She wants to be in Neil’s starting line-up but Devon have to check a HO and put her in her place.
A message from Fillip about them HOs: If I HOs dreams ain’t yo dream, she’s got to go. See…a HOs mind can’t originate. You’ve got to think for her and dicktate.
Seeing the importance of this event, Devon felt that it required the presence of a true HBIC. Long, lost Aunt Virginia showed up and dropped some knowlegde that Devon was not expecting about the fam.
A message from Fillip about them HOs: You can’t trust a HO on her word. HOs are nothing more than horny azz birds.
Poor Devon is a babe in the pimp game. He has alot to learn obviously.
Speaking of another man who is clueless, Nick was escorted to the event by his He-Pimp Phyllis. If I know Big Red, she will have him sexed up and freaken down by the end of the night. Let’s see how their evening went….
Moving on….
The event would not have been complete with out the haters. Amber and Kate are world class Hatin Azz HOs and they brought their best stank face out to play.
See both of these woman have been Fillip’s top dime. However, they had to plot and scheme to acheive that status. Fily, Fillip’s new #1 Stunna, is more than a dime she is a sliver dolla and well compared to Fily having two dimes still leaves you 80 cents short. They tried to hate on the dress Fily chose to wear on her Upgrade Ceremony. However, Amber and Kate need to remember their Upgrade Ceremony dresses. I did!!! Please check out Exhibit 1 and Exbihit 2. You be the judge. But I will say this, I think Amber and Kate need to be downgraded from dime to peso. And before I forget, mad props to Jill (the queen of Hatin Azz HOs) for shutting down the babes in the game. Jill had to let them know that even haters have rules and you don’t hate on someone’s dress if it belonged to their mother who has passed away. After being checked Kate and Amber did not seem to pleased. I think the Hatin Azz HO is evolving y’all. Watch your back.
A message from Fillip about them HOs: Most HOs that love me wish they were Fliy. I just cock the head and give Blue Steel and they know the dealie.
Now back to Kate…it seems as though she has recovered from her dismissal from Fillip. However, the new man she has latched onto has lost his P.I.M.P status and is racking up his hater points. Let’s see the man formerly know as The Great Billy Abbott now know as Liam in action…
The hate is strong in this one. Mac, the girl who he is currently still stalking because of the lack of a restraining order, cannot even get her dance on. Dang, Liam…let the woman breathe and have some fun. You know she really wants your notBrother, right? He is the reason she is working at the bar; NOT YOU!!! Oh, and I don’t know if Devon was thinking about Kate, but he should be. I can feel the love.
But Liam’s hating spree was not done. Kevin was next on the list.
Yes…I know that Kevin sexed up Fily when she was a minor, tried to kill Colleen, helped his mother cover up her crimes and robbed a few banks…but Liam should not have went there with the mental illness insults. Plus, when attempting an all up in your face insult the hater must look well put together. Liam did not get this memo. Liam meet hair product. Hair product meet Liam. But I degress. Fortunately, Mac was around to shut Liam down. Great job Liam. You scored major play points with Mac…NOT!!!
A message from Fillip about them HOs: When in the middle of a HO acquisition, stimulate her mind with hopes and dreams. Give a HO some optimism. And don’t blinky eye tippy toe kiss them.
Along with experiencing the hate of Liam, Kevin was catching major vibes from our other beloved Hatin Azz Ho, Amber.
Now, why would Amber be looking for another keeper. I thought Daniel was her proud owner. Let’s see how their evening went.
Why is Daniel on the run? Oh, he’s working on a little something.
Daniel seems to want Jana because of her accessories. He needs a girl with jewlery he can rock. I don’t blame him. It’s a recession y’all. Plus, which would you prefer, gold earrings or pink plasticie hearts? Maybe he got the memo that a guy wearing pearls is ______________ (fill in the blank; I am leaving this one up to you).
The honored guests at this event were Ethan Hurricane Ashby aka Cane aka Fillip aka ‘Who the Hell Knows’ and his prize possession Lily aka Fily. Although Fily thought the day was about her because she just got upgraded Fillip has some work to do.
First, he had to welcome Nina into his notFamily.
Then he had to act like he did not want to take the Chancellor name after everyone begged him to.
Well played Evil Ethan (Evil Ethan = EE)…well played. Kay and Nina even joined Jill on ‘take the Chancellor’ name bandwagon.
A message from Fillip about them HOs: A P.I.M.P should never ask a HO for anything. A HO should beg him to take what wants.
While Phillip was exercising the pimp hand. Fily was all smiles about her Upgrade Ceremory. Her dad let her know that if she never needed him he would be there for her. Aww…how sweet. But then Fily had to bust up the mood with how she knows Fillip will always be there for her. It’s not like Fily will ever have to move out of Fillip’s house because of another woman. That would NEVER happen. Fily will always have everything she needs with Fillip; he always puts her first.
Now, I must admit that I have a very good relationship with cake. However, I had nothing but fighting words for the cake to celebrate Fily’s upgrade. And what pissed me off even more was that the cake had the nerve to get wished on like it was a birthday cake or something. I had to channel my inner Victor for a hot second, “Only birthday cakes get wished on…YOU GOT THAT!!!” We might as well meet the cake and hear Fillip and Fily’s wish.
That concludes my coverage of the HOs and Haters Ball. Before I go I would like to thank the sponsors for supporting the diversity campaign. DJ Diversity was doing his thing. He even got to drop some vocals. NOTE to DJ: You don’t have to act like you’re in the mix when you’re clearly playing a CD. You get paid either way.
Again…the HOs and Haters Ball of 2009 was a blast. Huh…what? Are you serious? I was at a wedding reception! Hell…
Anyway, aside from the HOs and Haters Ball, all the action in GC was happening at the Newman Ranch. Not much really changed over there; it was more of the same. Ashley thinks she’s going crazy. Adam is setting her up and no one suspects the Botox Blindman. I have to admit though the phone call from Sabrina was pimpin…wrong, but pimpin. Let see how things unfolded.
Victor comes home just in time for a very scared Ashley to run into his arms. Olivia comes over after being summoned by Victor to do an exam on Ash. During everything, Adam is standing in the background listening. At then end of the day this is what everyone concluded…
Next on the Y&R:
Fashion Spies on the Loose, Week of 5/11
Well, fellow delusional readers, it seems this week has shown no improvement in the world of GC fashions. I will keep the opening remarks short, as we have a lot to wade thru. Here we go!
I decided to start this off with the focus on one major area….hairstyles. What can I say, but the Genoa City Salon needs some real help. Jill Abbott will probably be needing a job soon, maybe they could use a little help from Kay’s former shampoo girl/manicurist? Well, let’s see what we have…
Most in need of a shower….Niclueless…what is this Grease?
Most in need of some hair gel….Liam…I’m pretty sure you can borrow some from Nick, he seems to have a plethora. You need to get that hair under control boy!
Most in need of a comb…Mary Jane…what is this a rat’s nest?
Most in need of fly away control…Shar’in…too much static electricity in this town.
Most in need of a new dye job…Glo…please avoid the NEON colors this time.
Most in need of, um, less?…Jana…I know you’re a bit quirky, but the feathers need to go. Repeat after me…LESS IS MORE.
Most in need of something new…Nina…yeah.
Umm…moving on!
Fashion Misses
Not feeling the new maternity wear…
or this…
Now, I did not want to touch too much on the wedding attire as I’m sure we will get more of that as the Reception continues into next week…but I just had to add these two to the miss list.
Kate
and Tyra
Not only are these outfits atrocious, but could they be any shorter? This is a wedding you’re going to people…not a night club!
This week’s award for WORST DRESSED goes too (drum role please), yep you guessed it…Mackenzie Browning…
Dear Mac, you do know you are in your mid 20’s right? FYI, there is a reason why some of us refer to you as GrandMac. Poor girl, wardrobe are doing you no favors.
Oh, I almost forgot! Nikki? Mr. T called, he wants his bling back…ASAP.
Fashion Hits
The Blushing Bride and the Grinning Groom take the cake this week. They looked fabulous!
And “hit” wise, there was really nothing else that stood out. If you disagree, it could be I spend to much time with my finger on the fast forward button, or it wasn’t enough to justify me taking the time to post it…so I say we wrap this up!
Until next week…
Performer of the Week! May 11th 2009
Stacy Haidak plays Mary Jane, a beautiful femme fatal who has her eye on Jack Abbott. Mary Jane comes off as elegant, intelligent, poised, and sexy with an air of mystery. However, behind this unseemingly flawed exterior and well executed facade lies someone more sinister. Mary Jane is unstable, but she manages to hide it well. The switch from calm to crazy is usually subtle and can be found in her eyes when those soothing baby blues transition to a stone cold stare.
On the week of May 11th, Mary Jane witnessed her pray be lured away from her web. Jack told Mary Jane that he was stopping their affair so that he could rekindle his relationship was Sharon. This is when we got a first glimpse of Mary Jane unhinged. She ripped up a picture of Jack and all some of us could do is sit at home like “you mad.” (thanks Stryker…that was classic) Some may have thought that Mary Jane had finally snapped, but instead she transformed into the ultimate puppet master.
The execution of her plan was flawless. She played on her victims’ weaknesses and they did exactly as she predicted. After setting her plan in motion, all she had to do was sit back and watch the monkeys dance. Sharon, Nick and Phyllis are a ticking time bomb and Mary Jane just accelerated the pace. What makes her plan even more ingenious is that no one suspected her to be the mastermind.
What is in store for Mary Jane? I do not know. However, one thing is for sure; I will be watching Y&R to find out. The way in which Stacy Haiduk portrays Mary Jane I cannot help but be drawn in and fall victim to her spell. Mary Jane is crazy and most definitely deranged, but Stacy Haiduk brings a vulnerability to Mary Jane that shows that she is so much more. So kudos to Ms. Haiduk for making me love and dare I say root for a character that I know is up to no good.
Stacy Haiduk, you are my performer of the week!!! In fact, you are now one of my favorite actresses on the show!!!
Y&R Recap Friday, May 15th 2009
Today’s recap is brought to you by Adumb, the most handi-capable person in GC…
Adumb continued his mission to destroy Ashley, thereby destroying Victor? I guess that’s where Adumb is going with all of this. Adumb got online and found an old podcast featuring Sabrina. He got his download and edit on, and got himself a sample of Sabrina’s voice talking about death. Hmm…I wonder where Adumb is going with this?
Meanwhile, Victor was receiving some of Estella’s laundry. Oh, and by the way, Estella left a little something extra with her suits and stuff. It’s a tape recorder y’all! With a tape of a crying baby in it. Uh oh, Estella is about to feel the wrath of the Mustache. I won’t lie, so far, Adumb’s schemes are working, but you know it’s only a matter of time before the Mustache finds out what his baby boy has been up to. Adumb, it will suck to be you.
Here’s that wrath I was talking about. After receiving the incriminating tape recorder, the Mustache headed over to the GCAC to confront Estella. Poor thing proclaimed her innocence, but Johnny Cochran she is not, and TGVN wasn’t buying what she was sellling. Next time Estella, next time. By the way, you’re looking good girl! Love the new hairstyle!
And the ‘gaslighting’ continues. So this is what Adumb was up to with that recording of Sabrina’s voice. Adumb called Ashley, and played the tape of Sabrina’s voice. And of course Ashley almost split her wig. Adumb, you’re good. But just like the diary scheme, you’re not that good. The Mustache will find out about you, and Adumb, you won’t be so lucky this time around.
And that’s it for Friday’s recap. Thanks for reading y’all!
Oh wait. Something else did happen in Friday’s ep. My bad y’all. Fillip and Fily got married!
Everyone in GC was getting ready for the wedding of the century. And over at notVogue, Phyllis and Nick were saying they were only going to the reception. No, they’re not being hood, turns out Fillip and Fily only invited them to the reception.
Time Out. Is this a new trend? Do we invite some people to the wedding, and others only to the reception now? Since you have to pay per person at the reception (at least for fools to eat), wouldn’t it be the other way around? I’m just saying. Carry on.
Billy and Kate were also and notVogue. Okay MAB. We. Get. It. You’re painting Billy and Kate as the next Nick and Phyllis. We see it MAB, you can stop dropping the anvils now. Thank You.
While his brother is getting hit on at notVogue, the groom to be is showing his best man (wow! it’s nice to see you off minority row, Devon) the wedding rings. Fillip had the bright idea of engraving a kangaroo into Fily’s ring. Yeah, I don’t get it either.
It was a close call for Jill, who almost missed her favorite son’s nuptials, but thanks to the help of Smilin’ Jack, Jill was able to make it back to GC in time to witness the blessed event. She made her way to the Brady Bunch House to let Fillip know how much she loves him. I mean really loves him. I’m just saying.
Fillip was busy getting hit on by his mom, and Fily was getting some fatherly advice. Neil’s mouth was saying how proud he was of Lily, and how beautiful she was, but his eyes were saying something else. Lily, look into his eyes. I’m just saying.
After all the things that went down beforehand, it was finally time for Fillip and Filly to make it official. Lily walked down the aisle in her mother’s wedding dress (yeah right, this thing must have gone under some heavy reconstruction), and Fillip looked on grinning like the idiot he sometimes is. Despite his declarations of love the night before, Neil looked like he still wanted to put his foot up Fillip’s azz. And the bride’s side of the church was empty, and the groom’s side was filled with people that didn’t need to be there (yes I’m looking at you Mac, Kate, and Nina).
After finally making it down the aisle, Cane and Lily said their vows. Which were really beautiful. Well, they were beautiful if you didn’t know anything about how the show ended. But, I did know about how the show ended. So the only thing I heard coming out of Fillip’s mouth was, “Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.” Poor Lily…
Let’s see what the audience was thinking during this moving moment…
Aww guys, that’s so sweet of you.
After the ceremonies, everyone had chats with their most favorite people. First there was Mac and Kate. Mac approached Kate commenting on how nice the wedding was. Mac, you aren’t smooth chick. I peep game, and I peep yours a mile away. I know you’re loving Fillip, but you can’t help rubbing it in Kate’s face that her man wants you. Well, I won’t hate on you Mac. Keep on playing, playa.
Never one to miss out on free drinks, just like her baby boy, Jill was already at the reception, where she had a little dialogue with her favorite former daughter in law. Nina went on and on, and on, and on, about how much she missed the real Phillip Chancellor III, and how she wished Phillip Chancellor IV had known his father, and how it’s strange for her to think of Fillip as the real Phillip. Jill joined in saying that the real Phillip III will always be her son. Okay MAB. Enough. We. Get. It. (well most of us) You can stop dropping the anvils now. Thank you. That is all.
The wedding was over, the guests already at the reception partaying, and Lily was off looking for…something. So Fillip decided to have another word with God. But this time, even he couldn’t ask for forgiveness with a straight face. As Fillip smirked and thought about Lily’s vows to him, his mind went back to a time long ago, one that was thought to be forgotten…
Well looky here. Ethan (because at this point that’s the only legal name we have for this fool) is thinking back to that infamous phone call to ‘Uncle Langley.’ But oh no, I thought this was a dropped stroyline, Cane was really gonna be a conman, but he was so loved, the story was changed. That ‘phone call’ will never be brought up again. Cane is perfect, and flawless, and ideal, and terrific, and…Aw who am I kidding? I’m looking forward too Evil Ethan. Let’s see who old Ethan is chatting with, though.
Aww shucky ducky y’all. Langley is the real Phillip Chancellor III back from the dead. No wait, it’s his twin. No wait, it’s just an impostor. No wait, it’s really Uncle Langley pretending to be the long lost twin brother of Phillip Chancellor III who was pretending to be Ethan’s fraternal twin, pretending to be Katherine’s husband? Who ever the hell is is, I’m just gonna call him P3.
Hmm…that was an interesting exchange, let’s see if Ethan is feeling the least bit remorseful…
I guess not. Ethan, I think you just got a little bit entertaining.
After unapologetically reminiscing on his good times with P3/Langley, Ethan was ready to face the world with his new bride. I guess all that boo hooing and worrying he was doing yesterday is gone since he made it through the ceremony without being exposed. Ethan, you bad boy, you are playing the hell out of poor Lily. Do you know how she feels about the men in her life lying to her? Oh yeah, that’s right, you do. And Ethan, you don’t care. Shame on you, but if you like it, I love it.
Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Ethan Hurricane Cane Phillip Ashby Chancellor Fraud. I think things just got interesting y’all!
Y&R Recap Wednesday, May 13th 2009
Victoria, who is miserable for no reason, spent her day going around town spreading her own brand of love (read: hate). Her first victim, ADA! Heather. Stupid ADA! Heather has been sipping the same helium that Fily has, and was speaking about hearts, and flowers, and unicorns, and her relationship with Adam. You see guys, Adumb is a changed man. What good man wouldn’t jump at the chance to make a pregnant women think she’s going insane? The MVP of Team Hate, Victoria, shut ADA! Heather down real quick though, and let her know that Adumb was playing her for a fool.
Hater #1’s next victim was young Colleen Carlton. You see, just because Uncle Jackie has filled her head with nonsense, Colleen thinks she’s a real business woman. But just like with ADA! Heather, Hater #1 shut that down real quick. Sure both Colleen and Hater #1 may have been unqualified for their first jobs in the business world, but at this point Hater #1 has earned her keep, and Colleen has a while to go before she’s truly ready to tackle the big dogs, i.e. Hater #1.
Hater #1’s third victim was Smilin’ Jack himself. She tried to call old Smilin’ Jack out on his blatant use of Colleen. But Smilin Jack has no shame in his game, and he was all, “Yeah, I’m playing the hell out of Colleen, just like I played Billy and Adumb. So What?” Hater #1 was at a loss for words, because she expected to bring down Smilin’ Jack’s mood, just like all the other people she hated on. No dice Hater #1, you’ll have to find a new victim…
After failing to bring Smilin’ Jack down, Hater #1 went closer to home for her final victim. Nikki has finally dared to cut the strings she’s got permenantly attached to TGVN (well kind of, well not really), by accepting Paul’s proposal, but of course Hater #1 had to rain on Nikki’s parade, and point out the obvious. Hater #1, of course Nikki wouldn’t be marrying Paul if the Mustache was available. Why must you play your mother like this?
Speaking of Paul…
After Nikki accepted his proposal, she let him know that she had to tell Victor. Yeah, I don’t get it, and neither did Paul. Paul, please open your eyes. Nikki will drop you like a bad habit the moment the Mustache is available. Paul had one ‘huh?’ moment after the next though, because right after Nikki let him know that she just had to run off to Victor, Paul’s idiot daughter came by with her own foolishness.
ADA! Heather let her father know the great news that she was back together with Adumb. Yeah, I don’t get it either. Let’s see how Paul took the great news…
Umm… I don’t think Paul is happy. Paul, why aren’t you happy for your little ADA! Heather. Adumb will be good for her. Paul, Adumb is a changed man. Really, he is.
Let’s see just how changed Adumb is…
Hmm…what’s he doing with that tape recorder?
Planting it in the laundry? Why Adumb?
Ahhh, I get it. Adumb, you’re trying to set up Estella. You naughty boy you.
Of course setting up the hired help isn’t enough for Adumb, this is all part of his greater plan to drive Ashley crazy, in order to…? I don’t know, make the Mustache crazy?
Poor Ashley still doesn’t believe that it’s Adumb who’s doing all of this to her. Not even when he’s standing there, looking guilty as hell.
See, Ashley, it’s quite obvious that Adumb is the one playing you for a fool. Even Abby, who only pops up in the house about once a month, realizes this.
Ashley, listen to your daughter. She’s a little Valley, but apparently, she’s the only person at Ye Olde Newman Ranch who has a brain.
And it appears Ashley will have to learn the hard way not to trust Adumb.
So will ADA! Heather…
Seems like the only way ADA! Heather knows how to get Adumb’s attention is to give him some. Based on his expression, though, I don’t think it’s working anymore.
Heather and Ashley shouldn’t feel bad, though. They aren’t the only ladies in GC who are getting played, there’s Colleen…
Colleen, I’ll tell you like I told Heather and Ashley, open your eyes. Smilin’ Jack is P-L-A-Y-I-N-G you. And while we’re on the subject, Colleen if you want to be on the Newman Board, that’s cool. But please stop acting like Brad was some innocent martyr. Brad got where he was by sleeping his way to the top. Colleen, your daddy was a ho. That house you’re living in? It was supposed to be for Paul. So CC, please stop with the ‘Brad was a innocent man’ act.
Again, why is young Abby the only one with a brain? Moving on.
Nikki isn’t getting played, but she’s definitely playing herself…
Nikki, I’m tired of you making a fool of yourself when it comes to Victor. The man has shown you time after time that you will not be first in his life. That honor goes to Jack. So Nikki, move on with Paul. I know he’s kind of boring, but the man will treat you right. Let Victor go. Don’t listen to your Hater daughter. Please. Stop. Going. To. Victor. You look foolish.
And the GC trio who are getting played the hardest? Jill, Glo, and Jeff…
After finding out they’re broke and stranded in the Cayman Islands, the three stooges come up with the bright idea to call Victor and convince him to come to their rescue. Yeah, I don’t get it either. Let’s see how well that plan worked out for them…
Hmmm…just like I thought. Fools, the Mustache don’t love y’all hos.
Before we go, the Diversity Campaign has a little something special for you…
Yeah y’all, the person of color got a speaking role! I’m shocked too.
Next on the Young and the Restless…
Y&R Recap:Tuesday, May 12, 2009
We begin where we left off yesterday, with Paul’s proposal to Nikki. She’s speechless and then finally smiles and tells him he’s the sweetest man in the whole world, but she can’t say yes. I hope you kept the receipt, homie.
Rafe and Adam are upstairs in Adam’s room, alone (I’m just sayin’) and Rafe’s telling him that he might not be able to get a medical discharge. Apparently being terminally dumb isn’t the right kind of disease to have. Adam turns abruptly and knocks into a chair and gets pissed off. Well, you’re the one injecting Botox into your eyes, don’t get mad when you can’t see stuff because YOU’RE CAUSING YOUR OWN BLINDNESS.
Rafe promises that he won’t stop fighting for his man, and Adam acknowledges this and apologizes. He sends Rafe to get him some aspirin so he can hide his BotoxBox under his bed. Rafe tells him that he looks bad, and Adam replies that it’s because he’s stressed and upset. Rafe thinks that he needs to eat, and tells him that if his mother were here, she’d say Adam needs some meat on his bones. This is also because Rafe likes his men playing for Team Thickums, and Adam will be no exception to this rule.
Adam tries to play the poor-me card for being blamed for all the drama going on around the house, even though he, you know, is actually the one causing all the drama going on around the house.
Sharin’s looking at a wrinkled up piece of paper, a letter that she’s written to Nick, probably to confess something that she should probably just say in person or shut the hell up about. She totally hides it really well under a shirt as Jack finishes his phone call and walks over to her to try and reassure her that moving back into the mansion is what’s best.
Sharin asks if Crazy!Mary-Jane knows and he’s all “I don’t love that ho! I love YOU, ho.” And leaves to go break the news to CMJ.
She opens the door all, “You came to break me off real quick, right?” And Smilin’ Jack has to break the bad news that he shan’t be breaking her off any longer.
CMJ’s like “Excuse you? I just busted my ass to make you look competent to the press, how’s it gonna look when the media finds out you’re getting back with your thieving ex-wife?” And Jack basically throws up the deuces and walks out. CMJ rips up some papers and is crazy.
Daniel is trying to tell Phyllis what a success the art showing was, but The Hambergler is slobbering all over him in this fug blue dress that the 80s called and apologized for and, ew. For real, I can’t tell if it’s velvet or satin.
Phyllis, Niclueless and Summer are having dinner at the Club. She shows him the cover of RS with Lily on the cover, and Summer emotionlessly points out Sharin, who informs them that she’s moving back into the mansion. Phick is all “WTF isn’t the ink on your divorce still wet?” And Shack try to sell them on how in love they still are. They’re so unconvincing that even Summer is like, “This is suspect.”
OMG! I totally almost forgot about one of the greatest parts, when Shack was on their way out. Sharin was totally trying to throw out some brainwaves, but dude could not pick it up at all.
Paul’s not mad at Nikki for her ‘maybe’ answer and tells her that he should’ve proposed back when they were kids. Even though she still probably woulda wound up with Victor and dropped Paul like a cheap wig, but let’s let him have his fantasies. They reminisce and ADA!Feather (because her brain is as light as one) appears and is all grossed out by two old people kissing and tells them to get a room. Nikki excuses herself so they can talk and Kay calls her over, asking if she just saw Paul down on one knee. She needs the clarification to make sure her glaucoma’s not acting up again. Although you know if Kay really had glaucoma that she’d have a bomb stash at home, let’s keep it real here.
Nikki confirms the proposal and that she hasn’t given him an answer. She doesn’t want to swagger jack Vic and Ashley by rushing into marriage again.
We head back to the Newman Ranch where Vic and Ashley get up off of your Grandmama’s furniture because Victator doesn’t want to talk about Ashley’s crazy ass going crazy again.
Rafe asks to talk to his future father in law, and tries to get his Grown Man on for Victor throwing blame around for the dramz going on with Ashley. Victor tells him that he needs to check himself before he wrecks himself, gives him a You Got That and tells him to beat feet and keep it movin’.
Ashley’s listening in the hallway, and I don’t know how she got my granny’s shirt but me and her are gonna have words.
ADA!!Feather is talking to Paul about Adam when Kay walks out with Nina. ADA!!!Feather throws some shade at first at being interrupted, but smiles when they’re introduced and sees her way out. Apparently Nina’s sticking around GC because she wants to make Kay’s book into a movie.
Back at the art show, Hambergler’s trying to get Daniel liquored up so they can bone on the couch. So romantic, and sanitary! Howard Aucker knocks on the door, and Hambergler, realizing that Howard might’ve put his glasses on and looked at what he bought, can smell the check floating farther away from her purse. Howard tells her that she ain’t gotta go home but she gotta get the hell up outta there, so she leaves to get snacks. Aucker then pulls out his badge to show to Daniel. He’s gonna arrest him for his crappy art? Awesome.
Adumb whines to Ashley about how hard his life is, being on house arrest in a mansion. She, too, comments on how much weight he’s losing, and he rebuffs her offer of getting him something to eat. Ash leaves and then the Totally Up To No Good music starts playing, and we get the flashbacks of all the times Adumb’s turned down food, with the longest clip being of him and Rafe because MAB knows that RAM is the future! He succeeds in getting off his house arrest anklet and laughs triumphantly and then goes over to the window, and…
WTF? No. You have got to be kidding me. Am I honestly seeing the BLIND MAN sneaking out of his room to climb downstairs WHEN HE CAN’T SEE?! I, just no. I can’t, and I will not.
Ashley is singing Woe is Adam to Victor, and convinces him to let ADA!!!!Feather come visit. Adumb’s at a statue of a mother holding a baby, and then feels his way over to where he’s buried the tape recorder that has the sound of a baby crying that Ashley’s heard. Oh em gee, Y&R, you’re so clever!!!! Raise your hand if you didn’t see that coming.
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Unfortunately at the gallery Daniel is not being arrested. Apparently his drawings are really similar to another well-known artists’ work and damn, I can’t even bring myself to care. Don’t get too caught up, Dan, you know what happens to snitches.
The Hambergler’s hoofed it to the coffeehouse and finds Kay and Nina outside. Nina stays strong and does not let out one chuckle when she lays eyes on what this broad is wearing. Kay tells her that the book is being made into a movie, and Hambergler starts hating. Kay asks if Nina would mind having Hambergler be a co-writer on the screenplay, and Nina gets that look on her face like you do when you want to say no to someone, but you don’t want to hurt their feelings or look like an asshole. They totally and uncomfortably go along with what Kay says, because she’s the HBIC.
Nikki comes to the ranch wearing so many gold chains I expect her to be promoting her latest rap album, From the Pole to the Boardroom.
She heads out as ADA!!!!!Feather comes in, and says a quiet goodbye to her old life. So Deep.
Adumb climbs back up to his room on the fif floor. I want you to read that again: BLIND ASS ADUMB CLIMBED BACK UP TO HIS ROOM. He opens the door to ADA!!!!!!Feather who tells him that because of Ashley, they can be together ALL. THE. TIME!! They hit the bed, you know how they do. But, oh noes! Adumb dropped the tape recorder on the floor.
Back at the bar, CMJ is drowning her sorrows and Phyllis is all HAY GURL!! Big Red asks if she knows about Sharin moving back in, and CMJ claims to not be sweating it since it won’t last.
Back in her room, CMJ is stroking her kitty (y’all nasty) and says that Jack will come back to her. Meanwhile Jack is trying to convince Sharin that he’s cool with possibly not being the father of her kid.
Adumb comes downstairs, finally ready to eat and giving Ash a big thank you hug while Victator looks at a picture of him and Nikki. I can’t tell if he looks wistful or if he just fell asleep standing up.
We wrap it up with Nikki finally accepting Paul’s proposal. If you read spoilers, raise your hand if you’re surprised that Nikki and Paul are the third couple to be engaged.
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Next up on Y&R:
Call It What You Want To! 5/8/09 Wrapped
After watching another week of Y&R, I have to ask my self one question. Why they hell do I watch this show? I’m losing brain cells by the scene and yet, I do it for US! I don’t even remember what happened, other than that that there was a wedding, a photo shoot, two crazy pregnant women, a pathetic Jack ass, two desperate psychos, someone getting sued, an ugly sofa and several whiners. So, all though the automated garbage disposal in my head has struck again, have no fear that that will stop me from giving this week’s analysis.
So here is my analysis, it’s short, not so sweet, and on the real!
I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the Delusional Truth, so help me DB’s.
Wedding Bell Blues!
Kay married Murphy in a wedding filled with happy guests, but I wasn’t happy to see them. Jill crashed it, and that was the best part, the rest could have been left on the cutting room floor. The entire wedding was saturated with boring couples and women in tacky outfits. Analysis: there will be several partner swaps over the summer, and along with a new Costume Designer!
Phillip and Fily had a photo shoot, where we all got to see just how much older Fillip looks than Fily who looked like his child bride, and showed the maturity to match. Analysis: These two are in for a hard fall or at least Fily is in for a reality check, and she needs one worse than the WTD candidates need to get tested for a VD.
The Self Righteous Ranchers!
Adam, is dumber than a box of rocks, if he thinks that he can put one over on TVGN. He’s faking being blind, and that little Biotch has no shame. You’d think that he wouldn’t go there because of Hope, but Nope he’s a self serving asshole, just like his daddy. Analysis: Adam is going to get his ass handed to him!!!
But Adam is that dumb, because he has the worst ADA (Read: A Dumb Ass) in the history of TV for a girlfriend and that idiot is buying his BS. Analysis: Heather is going to have TGVN foot up her ass for the 100th time!!!
Ashley is being haunted and she losing her marbles and she might even lose this baby. Analysis: this story line sucks ass!!!
Victor is surrounded by idiots and Crazy people; he has two dumb sons, a crazy Baby Mama and Psycho on his pay roll. Analysis: Victor will come out on top, whoopty effing do.
The Family That Lay’s Together!
Sharon discovered that she’s pregnant and that there are three possible fathers. Analysis: WHY the HELL is there another WTD S/L in LESS than Four Effing MONTHS? Fine that wasn’t an analysis try this, Nick’s the father moving on!!
Jack is happy that Sharon is pregnant, and he is also happy that he can trust his little brother. Analysis: Jack is a fool, who’s thinking with the wrong head!! Thanks to him, MJ is going to kill Sharon when she finds she’s preggers, relieve Jack of his member, and he is NOT the father!!!
Mac and Billy had several moments together, each more boring than the last. Billy kissed Mac, she ran away, later in the week he saw her at the bar, useless, useless, useless!!! Analysis: Billy and Mac need closure, and any thing is better that Cheap Food AKA Billy and Kate.
Kate and Liam had several moments that were actually entertaining, because they were so pathetic. After Mac ran from Liam, Kate the consolation prize did her duty and took him home to give him for a nice dry hump. Analysis: we have a few more months of this crap, yall!
The Cry Baby’s Club!
Nick and Phyllis had the same conversation (Whaa Whaa Whaa Boo Hoo Hoo) that they have been having for the majority of their sham marriage and Nick went back to Newman full time, and almost found that he was going to be a father for the second time. Analysis: Nick is a tool and Phyllis could do much better. Unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, she’d have to leave Genoa City to find a man worthy enough for her to go Kathy Bates over!!!!
Gloria, Jill and Jeffery are all broke and are going to attempt to put one over on TGVN. Analysis: No one puts one over on TGVN, please see Adumb and ADA! Jill are you stupid, you know you can’t trust The Fartwells!!!
STFU AWARD!
Liam you are a whiny little Biotch, PLEASE just STFU!! You are a married man stepping to the supposed love of your life with that tired Ass game. WTF Liam, do you have any respect for the woman that you’re supposed to love. I know that you don’t have any respect for your wife, and I can understand that considering who you’re married too. But as LONG as you are married to Kate and pursuing Mac, you are basically asking her to be your mistress. If you want to be with Mac then divorce Kate, because in all honesty this Ish Aint cute, so get a divorce or STFU! Then you are whining about not being taken serious and got shut down, because you are a NOT wanted, so again STFU! But good ole Jack trusts you with his back, although you screwed his wife and are in another TIRED ASS WTD S/L and you act like Sharon did this on her own. Like she wanted to trap you, when you are NO prize!! Kate is the ONLY one who wants your TIRED ASS, and that’s because when it comes to you, she is WORSE than pathetic, but then maybe you two are the perfect pair. Liam to Sharon: “I can not believe that this is happening to me again.” This is what happens when you are an IDIOT, who didn’t learn the first time and is STILL sticking his wick in anything that will light it! Well guess what, keep it up and your DUMB ASS will NOT have one! So Liam, until the once GBA decides to come off Hiatus, please do me two tiny, small, insignificant, minuscule, little favors by ZIPPING IT UP and STFU!!!!
If I didn’t mention someone, it’s probably because I just don’t care or I forgot, but for clarity’s sake let’s just go with the first one, why even pretend.
Ash
Performer of the Week!
Hello, delusional readers! It seems that our site has been getting a good amount of traffic for being just a baby in the blogosphere, so I’ll speak for all the ladies and say THANK YOU!
Moving forward, it is my duty this week to let you know who did the damn thing. I know the title is Performer of the week, but the scene in question was so good that I have to award it to two people. The scene that stood out the most to me was on Thursday, May 7th between Ashley and Gloria. Everyone knows that these two have bad blood between them, and when you throw money into the mix, you know it’s gonna get ugly. No one likes people to be messing with their dollar dollar bills, y’all, so it was no surprise that when the judge awarded the Abbott’s twice what they were initially asking for that your girl Glo was pissed to say the least.
It began on the witness stand, where Ashley detailed how Gloria’s bitchassness had almost ruined her family’s company and her relationship with Jack forever. Then when Glo was on the stand she took responsibility, only when she was about to be totally stuck when the lawyer for the Abbott’s was about to play the tape where she was pretty much like “Oh, that tainted cream? That shit was allllllllll me, baby!”
There was much finger pointing and mean muggin’ on both sides until the judge made her ruling and Ashley declared that justice was done. Well, Gloria could not let that slide, and that’s where our scene kicks off. To say things got ugly would be an understatement. Gloria got her kicks in about Ashley’s less than stable mental health when it comes to the Victator, while Michael looks uncomfortable as hell.
And Ashley pulled her shank out and mentioned how all her husband’s seem to die.
Which caused Glo to go for the jugular and bring up how Ash had brought Tom Fisher into her life, which inadvertently lead to events where John quite literally had to bust a cap, which sent him to prison. Gloria keeps needling at her until she doubles over in pain, and Billy has to yell at her to knock it the hell off.
Our scene kicks off at 7:50 (sorry, it’s the only one I could find without making you watch the whole show). Enjoy!
Eileen Davidson and Judith Chapman did an excellent job pound for pound. It’s always fun to see Gloria go against any of the Abbott’s. Matter of fact, I think the last time I was so engrossed in JC’s scenes was after John died, and Jack kicked her out of the Abbott Mansion, remember that?
Fashion Spies in Review Week of 5/4
After our Kurphy wedding, GC went back to their working lives or did they? Wait a tic? Jill is not working, she is taking T-Pain’s bartender song to another level and damn gina the outfit that this tenderoni wakes up to see on the “HBIC” is atrocious. But the leopard is only fitting for Jill and this cougar moment (and yes, it is necessary to get a pic of the eye-candy in her bed):
Jill did have some unfortunate fashion moments this week, the wedding crashing outfit and cougar gear. However, she made up for it in her evening gown for the formal wear COMPETITION at the mansion for the Governor’s dinner.
Speaking of that dinner, Kay had an idea to allow Kevin and Amber to meet the Governor so that he will have sympathy for Bonnie & Clyde. I think Kay sees Amber the way that we all do,as tacky!
Kay to Kevin: You, I’d like to see in a suit (understandable)
Kay to Amber: …and Amber, you have to dress for the evening, graciously nice, nothing too much.
Hmmm, what could have possibly been going on in Kay’s mind when thinking of Amber and her choice of clothing:
Well, I wouldn’t say what she wore was exactly gracious, but hey, can’t win ‘em all:
FASHION MISSES:
I find it very interesting that in GC’s world of business professionals, you are to dress appropriately for these day to day business dealings. But I am finding that people are paying no mind to how they represent themselves in their work environment. Case and Point: Ashley’s business attire this week. Ash you are my girl, but, wardrobe has been unkind to you lately. Umm, sweetheart, YES, you are cuddling with one of the richest men in the world and carrying his child. YES, you are the daughter of John Abbott and your family’s company is back in the hands of the family. And YES, you hold a major position in the company. But no, no you did not wear the maternity club wear.
To Work and To a Very Important Case:
Look at Ash showing some leg in the courtroom too. And feel as if she could get away with it because of the baby bump.Shame! Shame!
A talk about being inappropriate on another level…
Heather, Heather, Heather. Ok, so you can have fun and play with Adam’s sexy in his bedroom, in his closet, on his couch or wherever. But you knew you were taking a risk of being seen by the Mustache or one of the Mustache’s many servants (we’re always told that he has many, I only see Estella, maybe another from time to time. Anywho), in your T-Shirt! That’s right my people, Heather had an Adina Howard “t-shirt & panties moment” in the Ye Olde Newman Ranch. Not the time nor the place Heather for you to sneak around half naked!!!!
I think if Ashley wasn’t preggers or “going crazy” she should have put a foot in Heather’s ASSprin, for prancing around in her man’s house, half naked and the chick is 45 years younger than him. But like my fellow blogger stated, she has great hair, so she can get away with it. LOL
TAKING IT WAAAAAAAY BACK!!!
Ok, so what is up with this prop?
For Real? The first and original Nextel chirping flip phone popped up onscreen with an EXTREME close up!!!! Why does Sharon Abbott have an ancient cell phone, when we know that she has money courtesy of her ex-husbands. These are things that never cease to amaze me on this show-get it right people. And I don’t want to see Neil with a flip phone and Tyra with a Blackberry again. C’mon AIC don’t take us there with the props, get off of your asses and stop being lazy.
During Lily & Cane’s “photo shoot” by NotVogue. Can someone tell me how this happened? Please look at this pic that is supposed to be in a fashion magazine and gawddd knows when this whack issue hits stands, 4 people will be saying “OMG it sold out, everyone loves it, blah, blah, blah”… Well, tell me this, what is wrong with Lily’s outfit for this photo?
What’s with the black heels with her wedding dress? If they shot this scene after her scene with Cane in the bar, then they are utterly wrong for not hooking the outfit up! Regardless, of when the scene was shot, someone working with Continuity is WRONG!
Speaking of the photo shoot, did anyone think Pleasantville?
or did Fillip look very familiar?
I knew there was a reason for the 60’s couch and set up at Fane’s house!!! LMAO
Okay AIC, you got us to watch this storyline for 5 seconds more than the usual…
It never amazes me how TAIC will try to throw us a bone to try and take our minds off of the dry and boring story lines. Another Who wore it Best moment? LMAO. Daniel at the Art show. Umm, are they trying to make us think of Justin Timberlake?
By the way, the look does look great on Daniel, but thank you Soap gods for making us think of JT *tear*. Hands down JT wore it 1 million times better.
KILLING ME SOFTLY
Last week, I spotted Liam’s pleather jacket in a flashback and asked for it to never re-surface. Let’s continue to pray to the Soap gods. But I found another killing me softly moment this week. I love Chris Engen, great actor, great piece of eye candy, whew, great choice with casting. But err-uhh, this manly mark on his chest is a bit much:
Come on, don’t do that to us. OR NOTE to the control room, ZOOM OUT, ZOOM OUT a bit! It is not fair to have this shot of Adam’s chest versus the yummy piece of bubble gum hottie next to Jill this week. If you’re gonna keep the Adam chest shots, don’t show it within the same week of the tenderoni:
Another fashion piece to be on the look out for is Esther’s uniform, she slipped pass in purple and black. But what I want to know is Esther serving again? Please Soap gods grant our wish and please put Esther’s uniform back on and keep her dialogue to a MINIMUM. I think she is slowly moving back into the groove, see evidence below:
Okay, so I said my piece on Genoa City’s Residents this week, let’s stay tuned shall we and see what wardrobe has in store for us. Until next time…
