that was all Kyle did totally stupid. The only think good about it was that Summer called them on it, although she said it politely.

The fashion house Marchetti came onto Y&R several years ago as a company headquartered in Milan. Summer went there to work and ran it. Kyle and Harrison lived in Milan, too with her, I think? for a while, I think ? ? ? I don't remember exactly. [Maybe during the period when Michael Mealor was off the show] Jabot acquired Marchetti, (I think?) as one of the gazillion corporate merger storylines on Y&R that I lost interest in tracking. In recent years, Summer was running Marchetti from Genoa City; but I think Marchetti still has a presence in Milan, probably. Chelsea was Marchetti's "creative director", and Sally was doing something fashion-connected for Marchetti. Each of them quit thinking the other would take over her duties. But they announced they were quitting at the same time, so suddenly Summer has nobody. During the episode, she told someone on the phone that she's going to Milan and not returning until she finds a new creative director for Marchetti. I wonder if, once she's there, if she decides to run Marchetti from Milan? And then maybe the show would state that Harrison is living in Milan part time?

In the preview for the show back in February on Entertainment Tonight, Jeresa the costume designer was specific about each character's economic background, personality, and the character's personal fashion preferences. Very much about the characters and not the actors. She said Eva is a thrifter, so her normal daily wardrobe would be something from a thrift store, and if BTG buys it new, they intentionally make it look used. So what you said fits about the type of thing a lower income person would buy for a fancy event.

I was able to watch the entire Canadian episode just now. Everything I described happened except for a couple of minor things After Summer exits, Nick & Phyllis comment to one another that Summer is off to conquer the world. Correction: Nick & Phyllis don't comment this to one another. Nick says it to Phyllis. Harrison says he will give her a Euro coin that he had saved, to give to her, for them to spend together some day. Correction: Harrison says he will give her a Euro coin that he had saved, that she can spend on her trip. She says she won't spend it, but instead will hold it to spend with him when they take a trip together later on. -- Another nuance I noticed: when Chelsea and Summer both say they're leaving Marchetti, there is some nostalgic/wistful talk about what the three of them have done working together at Marchetti. It's not the words that they said, but instead the vibe. It was like the three actresses were talking fondly about having worked together. But again, I wouldn't have picked up on that if I hadn't known AL was leaving. ---- Summer did have one phonecall with Daniel, during which she learned from him that Billy Phyllis fired Phyllis from Abbott Communications, so that's why Billy is hiring Sally, to replace Phyllis. She discussed this with Daniel since Phyllis is their mother. We didn't see Daniel's side of the phonecall. I wasn't clear if Summer told him on the phone she was going out of town, but she did tell Nick&Phyllis later that she planned to say bye to Daniel. During the episode, Summer told someone on the phone that she's going to Milan and not returning until she finds a new creative director for Marchetti. I got the impression she was talking to Daniel? but it could have been any of her employees. Summer was just standing in the GCAC, in one-sided phonecalls. I wasn't clear if she was talking to the same person in both phonecalls or two different people. Just a few seconds, businesslike, that she's going out of town.

Eva and Dana came up with a story to tell Fairmont residents that Dana's name is Leslie and that Leslie is Eva's surrogate/foster mom who took her in after Eva's real mom died. This is what they agreed to tell everyone. But Eva is really Dana's daughter, or at least as far as Eva knows and believes. Eva believes Dana really is her mom.

Friday May 2 US (Thurs May 1 Canada) - I read the Canadian recap and saw some clips. At a restaurant, Chelsea and Sally both/each tell Summer they want to leave Marchetti -- (Chelsea to work with Adam, and Summer to work with Billy). Summer comments that fashion is both women's primary interest -- and she wonders why they'd give up their dreams in order to work with their boyfriends. Then Summer says they should do what they really want, and releases them. The three women toast to "Marchetti women". Nick and Sharon return to Genoa City. Summer explains to Nick and Phyllis, that she has to fly to Milan immediately, in order to find replacements for Chelsea and Sally to work at Marchetti. Nick and Phyllis hug her. Summer mentions that she will next say goodbye to Daniel and Harrison. After Summer exits, Nick & Phyllis comment to one another that Summer is off to conquer the world. If there was a Summer/Daniel goodbye scene, it wasn't shown onscreen. At the Abbott mansion, Diane shows Summer the new decor. Summer tells Kyle and Harrison she's flying to Italy on a last-minute work thing. Harrison replies that he and Kyle should go with her. Summer replies that she'll be so busy that he'd hardly see her, so she won't be bringing Kyle and Harrison on her trip. She says she'll go on a trip with Harrison later. Harrison says he will give her a Euro coin that he had saved, to give to her, for them to spend together some day. Big hug. When Harrison is out of the room, Kyle tells Summer that he and Claire intend to live together. Summer asks Kyle to not tell Harrison yet, and to please wait until she returns from Italy to tell Harrison, in case he has feelings about it. Kyle agrees. They hug. And that's Summer's exit. From the clips, it seemed that when each of the characters was saying goodbye, I could tell it was the actors saying goodbye, too (but I would have had no idea if I hadn't seen the actress exit news). The dialogue indicated that Summer would return soon. No indication of a long trip. But there was Phick's "conquer the world" comment which was (perhaps) referring to the actress and not the character? EDIT - a couple of very minor corrections to the above. In my next post.

details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs - Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/rfk-jr-s-anti-vaccine-stance-is-rooted-in-a-disbelief-in-germ-theory/

Tamara Tunie is a goddess in my opinion. She can totally bring the mesmerizing acting, when Anita is written for in an active way. Anita is less interesting when written as a talk-to or a reciter of past events. I think she'll be more in an active role at some point in the relatively near future? Pretty sure Daphnée is going to bring it soon!

little touches like the country club staff watching and reacting in the background

The EW spoiler article is on the May spoiler thread. (I'll quote the only non-spoiler thing) "Beginning Thursday, Beyond the Gates is set to plunge viewers into a three-episode arc" That arc airs Thurs. May 1, Fri. May 2, and Mon. May 5. Then BTG has two days off for soccer Tues. May 6 and Wed. May 7. Thankfully we'll have the three big episodes before that soccer break. It's the same set-up on May 6 & 7 as last week: BTG fully preempted on the soccer dates everywhere US and Canada. Y&R and B&B partially disrupted in some cities, but airing overnight, and/or on sister channels, and uploaded online without a preemption. And no disruption to Canada/Australia broadcasts of Y&R and B&B.

One Stormy Night was the name of the January 1992 Days primetime episode. https://www.jason47.com/days/episodeguide1992.html From jason47 bio of Jeanne Marie Ford: when I was in high school, my best friend got me hooked on 'Days.' She first worked on the "Days" staff in 1992 as an unpaid intern and soon after became the show's writer's assistant from 1992-1996. https://www.jason47.com/days/writersinfo.html
