Precisely. The show has devolved into an absolute mess. The title is appropriate.

They've been dressing Jess poorly for years. She has hips, she's ALWAYS had hips and yet since 2005 she's been dressed out of the bargain bin at Dress Barn. Jane Eliot is dressed beautifully at GH and that is a style that would be appropriate on Jess. Suits, on the whole, would look great on her, as would gypsy style tops, A line skirts, the list goes on.

Why they insist on dressing her in jackets that end RIGHT BEFORE HER HIPS is beyond me. It makes no sense. She looks terrible and there's no way anyone will convince me that she's happy looking like she does on screen. She's not fat, they dress her like she's a hippo.

There is no big secret in dressing for hips and curves. Anything tailored is key. A one-button blazer that nips in at the waist, coupled with a pencil skirt that stops just at the knee (pencil skirts make hips look phenomenal without negating them). Some black patent, round-toe heels that elongate the leg. Some Spanx. Both BD and JW rocked that office femme fatale look for years.

Is there anyone anywhere who can make sense of the Cane story? The main thing I keep hearing people ask about is why Phillip knew about none of this with Cane's evil twin or sister or mother.

Cane went from having no family to having a full damn family. All that's missing are some pets. I could see how Phillip wouldn't know about Cane having a family. Cane said he had no family and Phillip took his word for it. Besides, Phillip had his own lies/secrets to focus on. But when Cane's latest pack of lies/secrets come out, all will forgive him as usual. Shame TR and GF are propping such a lousy character/actor.

Regarding the video at the top, how strange now that Adam looks older than both Nick and Sharon...I wish they'd have a flashback of Sharon discussing Adam as an infant.

Well look at this, it seems Y&R does know how to Jess Walton...they just only do it once a decade. This is exactly the outfit Cat's described and look at how great Jess looks.

The office femme fatale look is Jill's signature. Why the hell that was ever abandoned is beyond me.

First of all, that scene rocks because Jill = the Voice of the Audience!

She looks better than she has recently, sartorially speaking. Her blazer is much too big for her, though, and they have pinned it awkwardly at the cleavage and too tightly around the stomach. It needs to be taken in around the shoulders and breasts but still fan out lightly over the hips. Just my $0.02.

Sigh, so even when I think they've done it right, they still get it wrong. Poor Jess.

Oh for the good old days:

Didn't mean to burst your bubble, DF. For what it's worth, the cakefight outfit was the best Jill has looked in years. And it's not just JW who gets a rotten deal. MTS's wardrobe is routinely too short and tight for her, ScarecrowToria looks a hot mess always, even Phyllis and Abby (arguably the better dressed of the ladies) get some horrendous stuff thrown their way once in a while. Remember Phyllis in Thailand and the open-back white shirt which exposed her black bra? Yeah. That was styled purposely that way.

Speaking of MTS... OMG, I love drunken Nikki. She let rip into Deacon and her AA group, but before that she told Victor to [!@#$%^&*] off, too. And it was GLORIOUS. That !@#$%^&*] Braeden tried to have the last word in and mess up her scene but he failed and MTS walked away triumphant.

Isn't it pathetic that with Y&R's budget, still the highest in daytime, all the women are styled so poorly? Jess is styled the worst, but MTS isn't far behind, the wardrobe department slaughters those two.

DAYS has a rock bottom budget, but by in large the women are styled beautifully.

Money can't buy you class Y&R.

MTS tweeted this:

@Trunorth Actually, I don't know if or when I'll be shooting again.This weeks air shows were my last, until someone determines otherwise.

Like those wide belts & boxy business suits when she ran Jabot. Ew.

That's depressing

That's depressing

Why?

Y&R has Genie now.

Haha exactly how MAB views it.

I think Cane was originally suppose to be a con man but LML changed her mind because Daniel Goddard/Cane became popular. Then Maria decides to undo it, but instead of just making Cane a conniving fraud she brought Phillip 3 back from the dead just to say "it's my fault". Cane's reason at first was because he wanted a family, then it became because he was running away from the cattle mafia, who wanted 5 million dollars and brought Blake to get it out of Cane. The head of the cattle mafia is Cane's father who didn't exist until Maria decided she needed more stunt casting. He also has a twin brother, a dead sister, and a mother who's totally not Laura Spencer.

This is just like the Terroni storyline that would never end and in a way it's presence still lingers on the show. Daisy rapes Daniel, she gets knocked up and Billy buys her baby on the black market. Phyllis, Billy, Victoria are now fighting over the baby.

LOL that description really made me laugh because it highlights, perfectly, just how absurd Y&R has become.
