Burning Questions for the Week:

How many minutes before Nick leaves Sharon's bed and returns to Phyllis?

Will Cane's mighty swimmers pierce immaculate Lily's secret garden?

We know Daniel can draw, but can he kill a man with his thighs?

With Colleen missing in action, does drag Adam have what it takes to be the new fresh face of Jabot?

Nope.

They haven't dealt with their core issues. Nick has never dealt with his grieving. Now, more recently, he's never dealt with his conflicted emotions. Thus, Phyllis is the only "shrink with benefits" that he is seeing.

And klepto-girl's psychotherapy is the stuff of legend. She WALKED OUT.

Thus, with these two profoundly damaged individuals who have resolved NONE NONE NONE of the issues that drove them apart, anyone hoping for a happy ending is simply not seeing the writing on the screen.

This is a temporary reunion, and it will show them that they are not able to be together. What will happen next?

Sharon will return to Jack, and have Billy's baby. Alas, before much time transpires, Mary Jane will steal it (fake its' death??) and Adam will use it to replace Ashley's baby.

Nick will again want his family with Phyllis back, and she will appropriately tell him to stick it where the sun don't shine.

Agreed. But I feel it in my bones -- no spoilers, I swear -- that he's gonna pull it off. Somebody else mentioned about a D&C...and I wonder how they're going to deal with that detail.

My feeling is that Adam is going to drug Ashley. But how can he isolate her from Victor?? She can't go to Abbott mansion, or Adam won't have access to her.

ETA: Maybe like Adam Carrington there will be toxic paint??

I'm pretty sure not having a D&C can kill you. And since it's just spec I pray they don't have a baby switch. I am baby switched out. It's lost all of its emotional punch for me. Though I trust Y&R would do it better than AMC, OLTL, and ATWT have done but I am just so sick of this plot.

I understand. I, on the other hand, am in the mood for a good one. But, who knows what these folks have in store for us. I really do like that they have us asking questions again, wondering where it will go.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
    • In fiction there has become an expectation by some that every Black character should represent excellence and perfection. It's not like we are talking about a Tyler Perry show where none of the characters are happy and everyone hates each other with a passion.
    • And on rewatch, I could've done without the unsubtle praising Matt like he was the only one who ever accepted Van as she was...but TPTB and their agendas.  It was totally in character for Vanessa to shut down emotionally until she was alone. While she could be volatile, both she and Henry believed in keeping emotions private.  Thank God it's still Bryan Buffinton in the role for both Henry's and HB's funerals. It just wouldn't have been the same with Ryan Brown, who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Roll My Eyes.
