I’m excited to see all the sets. So far we’ve seen Dumas’ lair/office with his Alistair Crane type set up with cameras all over the compound (I’m assuming) where everyone is gonna be staying. So far they’ve shown him spying on a woman which looked to me like it was Phyllis, or maybe it was Diane.

Seems like most of the cast will end up in France. We know Claire and Victoria are staying back but that could change. This must be the beginning stage of this “murder mystery” storyline Joshua Morrow was teasing about.

You’re right. It’s a train not a boat. I saw someone else post about it. I would have expected Adam and Chelsea to be with them given I would have thought all the Newmans would be travelling together. I wonder why Billy and Sally are there though.

That would make sense. Given the recent conflict between Michael and Victor I’d assume they’ll be involved in the drama somehow.

I saw the preview for next week. Looks like Nick, Sharon, Billy, Sally, Nikki, Victor are on some kind of boat? Jack, Diane, Kyle are hanging out on the terrace in France while Lily is being spied on by somebody. I will admit I am kind of intrigued. I’m just happy to have a change of scenery.

When Sharon decided she would stay home instead of going to France with Nick, I thought oh GREAT another storyline Sharon is being kept out of so they can just keep her cooped up at her home or coffee house. I’m glad to see she has changed her mind and will be going. So are all these people gonna be shacking up with eachother in France? I’m so confused. Meaning, Jack, Diane, Nick, Sharon, Phyllis, Nikki, Victor, Audra, Kyle ? Did I miss anyone? I’m sure I did. Just seems odd and random but we’ll see

Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers. I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see.

I wonder if there are any other theories about who Dumas could be. What if he is an entirely new character? I’ve seen the theories on Facebook about it being Tucker or Drucilla but I think we’re past the point of being able to rule them out of even being a possibility.

I’ll keep an open mind I guess. If it’s Cane it wouldn’t make much sense though. Why would anyone wanna kill Cane? (I haven’t been an avid viewer so unless I’ve missed something I can’t see why anyone would care enough to kill Cane)

I sure hope you’re right. The lack of sets is maddening!

What will actually change though? Does this mean the sets will be different too? Or how exactly is this gonna look like to the viewers?

So not much is gonna change then? 🙄

Yeah I don’t get why she wouldn’t be credited if she’s back. That seems odd. I hope it’s true though, because the show needs a change. Badddddd.

So Sharon decides not to go to France and stay behind to support Mariah, but now with Phyllis gloating about getting an invite I’m sure she’ll change her mind. Mariah’s secret is that she screwed that old man? I’m so confused about what’s going on here, and Mariah coming out and telling Tessa that she can’t know her secret is supposed to do what exactly? Is that supposed to put Tessa’s mind at ease? Lol…. I’m getting Cameron Kirsten vibes though. Did he do something to her without her consent and things went too far? These writers really can’t come up with something original if their life depended on it

I’d much rather Dumas turn out to be Tucker than Cane to be honest. It makes no sense to me why they’d make the mystery person Cane .. and a recast Cane to top it off? Who’s gonna care about this?

That’s right because I recall watching an episode recently and that kitchen wasn’t renovated so I guess it is new. so where is Nick living? He and Sharon aren’t official yet, I doubt he lives with her. Victoria and Cole are in the tack house with Victor and Nikki up at the main house so where does that leave Nick?

It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though! Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..

Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them?

All the best people are at the bottom of the list. Lauren, Michael, Chloe, Traci, Ashley, Mariah, Sharon, Amanda, Devon. I’d rather see more of these people than anyone in the top 10.. (with the exception of Jack and Diane) because I am still enjoying their scenes.

Sooo Nick is inviting Sharon to France for this Dumas party thing. The same place they reconnected years ago during the Shick/Phick years. I wonder if it’s going to be on location? I’m going to assume not. I’m sure Y&R doesn’t have that kind of budget anymore.

Nikki’s outfits are fine. It’s supposed to be over the top. They aren’t all my favourites but they usually make sense.

Not saying I really wanna see it, I’m just saying it would make sense from a character-driven standpoint He seems to think his character pairs well with a fiery and feisty female even though he has nothing to offer other than being hot. With Sharon it makes sense because she can make up for the things he lacks and still somehow make the coupling of Nick and Sharon make sense. Sharon Case is absolutely the reason why Shick is what it is today .

I didn’t realize they had a say in storyline direction or that SC & JM were the reasons Nick and Sharon aren’t together, but anyhow. They definitely are not “young and flirty” anymore at 50+ years old. They both look fabulous, don’t get me wrong.. but it seems silly to continue writing for them as if they’re 30 years old still. I guess I can understand why a Nick Newman type would still be interested in dating young, but even still. Bring Faith back into the fold and maybe have Nick have an affair with one of Faiths friends (I know, scandalous) but at least it would give the writers a reason to develop the character of Faith more.

I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?

I don’t get what is so difficult for Nick and Sharon to define about their relationship. The obvious thing to do is to put them back together. There’s no obstacles for them anymore, they’re both seemingly on an island and yet JG refuses to reunite them. It’s time to put them back together and have them stay together. Bring back Faith, Noah and let them be the supporting characters for their children. The fact that the only third generation Newman on the canvas is Claire is pretty crazy. Where are all the other Newman kids? I’m pretty sure Victoria has more children too.
