Agreed. They were the standout scenes of the episode. And I say this as a committed non-fan of AH. Ashley joining NE (and taking over B&S) is breathing life into the business SL. I suspect this is only to tide things over during Ordway's maternity leave, but I prefer this rivalry. Victoria has always been insanely jealous/hateful of Ash and there is decades of history there. 

 

I love having JT back (wish he'd shave that peach fuzz off his chin though). And incredibly TL is the first guy in years with whom AH has chemistry. But their relationship happened SO fast. Literally overnight! I wish they'd taken a little more time to show them slowly reconnecting.  

I'm sorry I'm waaaaay behind and no one appears to be saying much...WHAT?!?

 

When did Ashley leave Jabot? What happened? How did this go down?

I just mentioned this on the B&B board, but wouldn't it be kinda interesting to have Ivy Forrester move to Genoa City for Noah? They're both kind of left out characters and it would give them something to do.

 

I'm bored thinking of fantasy pairings. I also have Nate Hastings paired with Ivy Forrester in my imagination. Look at that! Triangles!!!

It feels like she left a day ago! Basically Jack went for a power grab at Jabot and decided to use Ashley's paternity against her so she couldn't make any of the major decisions. Ashley got lawyers involved, they went into arbitration and the judge ruled in favour of Jack. So Ashley walked. All this I gleaned from Ashley's exposition dialogue on Monday. I didn't watch last week so I have no clue if any of this appeared onscreen.

Mal is rushing through stories. Some of them are promising, but moving at warp speed is missing the correct build up and follow through.

Please get rid of GC Buzz!

 

Co-sign! It makes no sense that a little burg in MidWest Bumblefuck has this lo-budget Access Genoa City, devoted to supposedly salacious 'gossip' like Sharon's love life, and Newman Enterprises investing 'billions' in some app.

And that all this goss is of interest to the rest of the country...

So much is happening IRL, truly evil things creeping out into the open, the ground seems to be shifting under our very feet --- and yet Y&R is literally unable to cough up a juicy SL to sink its teeth into. Certainly not one worthy of a nationwide gossip show like ET or E! News.

 

I mean, is GC Buzz going to go live about Tessa stealing Mariah's diary?? Because that is some sh*t no network would ever air.

 I haven't heard that word in years! Brings back memories of when I spent a few years living in the Midwest.

lol well my dad is originally from Michigan (though I never lived there). Actually I got it from friends and family in NY who would refer to people coming from upstate "They're from Bumblefuck, NY. Or somewhere." That's the NYC/tri-state superiority complex for ya.

Victor's hatred of Tessa

Whoever  it was that wrote those Cane and Lily go to the movies scenes should be forced to sit and watch them on a loop. ugh. FF material.

 

I agree Eileen and Amelia were great together.

 

The Cane/Lily scenes have more lows than high. I want to see them eventually split after trying to make it work.

 

The less said about GC buzz the better.

 

I liked that Noah got a few scenes. He sold them pretty well.

I think Paul really just hates Victor. After what Victor did to his sister, Paul doesn't care what he has to do as long as he takes down Victor.

I really wanted Noah to become an unrepentant bastard. But it seems he's already forgiven Mariah after a week. How lame!

So I guess she's the spoiler in the victoria/abby story at Newman until Abby gets back then. I was think it was a new man.
