No.

Looking at the situation realistically Phyllis CREATED & EXACERBATED a PERSONAL situation at WORK.

This whole "she should've minded her own business" schtick does NOT wash when Phyllis gets & continues to get a FREE PASS for interferin in EVERYTHING.

Sharon had already brought her into the situation by confidin in her so she was already "in" the situation to begin with.

Dru was NOT in the wrong place at the wrong time and it WASN'T her fault.

It was the sociopathic redhead cow's fault.

But as usual when Phyllis interferes it's perfectly acceptable but when anyone else does it, it's "all their fault".

Oh please. Dru wasn't BEING anything. She was partly in CHARGE of the shoot AND had been a previous victim of Phyllis constant bullying & harrassing herself which gave her every right to stand up for her BFF.

And if we're talkin nosiness, PHYLLIS is the nosiest character in GC & always has been since the very first day the parasitic B!tch slithered into town.

If Sharon had gone off the cliff, yes, I would say that it is Phyllis fault. They were the ones that were aruing. But for Drucilla to butt into the conversation and meet her maker, that's her problem. No one else's.

Sharon DID go over & PHYLLIS proceeded to lie then (and STILL IS) about how it happened.

She said Sharon "just let go" when she SPECIFICALLY told Sharon to let go.

Drucilla didn't butt into anything. She approached them while they were arguin about a situation, Sharon had already involved her in by confidin in her what happened. :rolleyes:

COME ON NOW! You cannot sit there and tell me that Drucilla didn't butt into the argument. I seem to recall Dru's loud ass screaming at Phyllis on the way over there. Then Dru proceeded to try and grab Phyllis' phone, yes Phyllis' property, and her ass got sent over the cliff. Her actions. Her fault.

And we thank Bill Bell for taking notice of a character that was only supposed to be short-term and making her long-term! :)

Phyllis' vicious behavior is what makes her an exciting character. Even though she does all this nonsense, a lot of the audience still feels for her.

Eh No.

She calmly WALKED over (after endin HER call on HER phone) & asked what was goin on.

Then as Sharon & she started grabbin the phone when Phyllis begin to dial Jack (which she had been threatenin to do after Drucilla refused to allow her to intimidate Sharon in any other manner)

Phyllis then began pullin backwards causin the other two to go over the cliff.

Phyllis actions. Phyllis fault.

Period.

I don't feel for her. I'm frustrated by her.

Phyllis took such a pleasure out of torturing Sharon/Brad because of their ONS, but these days, she's a sniveling mess; smearing her mascara for sympathy. If she is going to be the baddest chick, stop with the crocdile tears. It's so weak and pretentious coming from. This bitch acted like she was entitled to judge but now that she's been caught, she wants to go back into the ocrner, waiting on someone to rescue her. The real Phyllis would fight her way out by any means necessary. Instead, she just comes off as this bi polar flake, switching personalities depending on who is taking in her performance.

My favorite incarnation of the chararacter is when Michelle returned in 2000 with the short hair cut. She still had her edge but there was a much needed vulnerability. These days, it's whiplash keeping up with her persona changes. She's a monster on Monday, but needy on Tuesday. This rinse, wash, repeat cycle is making my head hurt.

WORD

I'll say it now and I've said it before, LATHAM IS PATHETIC AT WRITING FOR WOMEN.

One of the few things Alden and Smith did right was their writing for Phyllis, she was fierce and strong under them. Latham has no idea where to go with such a dynamic character, which was also a problem she had with Dru.

      The letter reading was very emotional, and Maeve really got to me too. I was a little worried because Vanessa doesn't give a speech at the funeral, which surprised me, but then we got the private letter reading and her true emotional reaction and I was satisfied there. The YouTube channel I watch these episodes on (if not on our Vault), also had upset commenters talk about how Nola's line about Henry not accepting her at first/seen as a gold-digger was totally untrue. It's sad the writers don't do their homework and give fans the respect (and the characters respect). And yep, Bill got up and spoke at the funeral too, which was nice.  I didn't even realize that was Sharon Leal until you said it!  I had to Google it. I loved Sharon Leal in Boston Public back in the day haha. LOL at your Reva/Josh ALWAYS commentary. What is RME though?

      Leslie is an extreme liar and manipulator. I'm not sure what her point was in trying to convince Nicole she wasn't trying to hurt her. As much as Eva did help orchestrate the entire plot I feel like there was too much piling on. Eva never said she wanted to be a Dupree so Anita was extremely out of line for that comment.

      Thanks!

       That's positive and something to look forward to for sure, because you're right, 1996 so far isn't nearly as good as 1995. Ohh - what is Lonatrat?  Sadly you're probably right. I did feel like David was rarely seen once Marcus came on. That would have been an interesting spin, having Frank and Tina be teenage lovers and Dahlia really being his daughter. I'm getting the sense that Tina won't be seen too much anymore, as she just left Dahlia with Frank/Eleni as she's heading to jail for a while. I like the Tina actress too!  Her voice sounds a bit like Rosie Perez to me, which I love. I tried to find her online, but coming up empty. This was the only thing I could find about Tina Crede - a character snapshot video with clips and stills of her (randomly starting just before the 1:00 mark):

      That's wild that the David actor is nearly 40 here! Definitely surprises me.

      5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories.

      One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.

      I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

      I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.

      It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
