Playing catch up AND...

 

SHUT UP, PHYLLIS. I did not at all like that she indirectly has caused drama for the Abbotts by encouraging Billy to stay as Jabot CEO.

 

Yep...over Jack being self-pitying which has revealed that it's been overboard with the Abbotts now. Shocking since I'm sure in my last post I was happy to have a break from the Newmans. Now that I see story shifting I feel it's needed since I now want a bit of a break from the Abbotts (except for Traci and Ashley).

 

I'm gotten to Summer's return. So far...I don't mind her as a vixen. And they are doing a good job of showing her history with all the characters. And I have to give MY this much...he does seem to be bring the YOUNG back to the RESTLESS. Charlie/Shauna. Mariah/Kyle/Tessa...which I'm not sure how I feel about. And now Summer. 

 

Hevon is love. Like I said during the final (at the time) arc for Nicole on DAYS. I will take Eric/Nicole for as short time as I have them because that was a story cut short and teased for years (like Liason over on GH too) so that is how I feel about Hevon given recent news. 

 

Ugh at Victor. But I admit that JM stepped up in those scenes where he confront Victor and trumped him when he revealed he already knew about Christian being Adam's. 

 

 

All I got for now.

So companies are walking away from Newman because of a leaked online article? Uh...ok. I hate it when business stories make zero sense.

 

i think Mal has already played out the “Kyle is naked” thing. Having Summer get naked with him doesn’t make the scene any more interesting or fun. And can Mariah stop with the snarky judgment? Why the hell would she care about where Kyle and Summer get busy? I’m ignoring Tessa’s presence because I hate her.

 

Billy and Phyllis in bed? Zzzzzzzzzz. Kill me now and light me on fire. And JaBoat? This is the way to show Billy can’t run the business?

Why does Jack want to be a Chancellor so darn bad if Phillip wasn't the founder of Chancellor Industries? If he's just one of Katherine's many dead husband's how does it entitle him to have a position at CI?

 

And the other day Jack was talking about getting his piece of the Chancellor pie. Does he not realize that Kay only left the Chancellor and Reynolds heirs one piece of that pie to split 5 ways,

 ( he would make it 6 ways). Devon got the rest of the pie. 

 

If Jack is looking for a Katherine payout he should be tracking down Judge Arthur Hendricks. Dina screwed everyone else in town why not him too? That's where the billions are.

Does Mal know that Kay and Dina were very good friends? The Phillip affair is beyond stupid, not to mention that we are supposed to believe that she always knew that he was Jack's father.

 

Why would someone change the paternity of a 65-year old who has been on the show for almost forty years? 

 

Jack Chancellor, Jill Fenmore. This show is dead.

And when was the last time Jill and Lauren had meaningful scenes together? Both on recurring.....the Jill Fenmore mess was done for pure shock value and just forgotten.

 I'm pretty sure Jack's going to end up an Abbott after all. There seems to be another purpose for all this to me.

 

First they are minimizing Phillip's importance. Devon referred to him as one of Katherine's dead husbands. You would say his name if he was a respected man. I got the impression they're trying to portray Phillip as of many husbands Kay supported on her dime, like the ones that followed him. But that's not true at all. There are early clips with Kay accusing Jill of wanting Phillip for His money.

There was a better one when Kay & Phillip are arguing over the divorce and he's trying to give her the house. Why would he offer her the house if it was already hers? But that clip's been deleted.

 

 I remember the Rainbow Gardens storyline with Cricket, and she saved the day by turning up the fact that Civil war hero Garfield Dandridge Chancellor ( Phillip's great-great-grandfather) had drawn up the first Genoa City Charter, and hired a world-renowned architect to build what was now the Rainbow Gardens apartments. So the building was declared a historical landmark, and the senior citizens could stay. The Chancellors founded Genoa City, there was no way Phillip was one of Kay's flunkie husbands.

 

The recharacterization of Kay as the ultimate business woman who grew CI into this massive success, and she's the one responsible for all of her wealth won't fly with me . I've watched her jump off a cruise ship, and lose CI to her hairdresser. Some days she wouldn't have been able to tie her shoes to save her life.

 

I suspect it's all a set-up to take Chancellor from Jill. Mal has taken almost every other female owned company away, why would he leave Jill with one, even off screen?

    • I really didn't start watching the show until season 12 when I was a teen, so I only caught the last three years. I LOVED the show over all though...even that part of 13 that was a bit messy! So, it's been a treat streaming the previous seasons on Plex. I'm amazed at how well so much of the writing holds up over 30 years later. Far better than a lot that we get today! For the most part, stories move along at nice pace with good twists and turns! I just finished season 11, so I'm finally picking up where I started watching all those years before. When I started watching as a teen, Laura had already died, so while she was mentioned pretty often, I didn't have much background with the character. CM was an amazing actress and had chemistry with everyone. So, it's a bit of a headscratcher that they didn't seem to have any idea of what to do with her starting at around season 7. Her scenes at that point are mostly short, brief, and she has very little true story right until the episodes where she's dying in 9. I wonder what it was about the character that the writers couldn't figure out what to do with her. Also, Ben's exit storyline was a bit confusing for me. I never really got who this woman was who was stalking him and this "secret organization." The whole plot seems like it should be on a different show. Michelle Phillips and Nicolette Sheridan have really fun mom/daughter/frenemies chemistry. I remember having a huge crush on PP's Michael and being disappointed when he was written out at the end of season 12. 
    • mayoclinic: Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and how severe they are can vary. People with the disorder can: Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration. Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment. Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements. Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are. Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate. Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people. Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important. Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them. Take advantage of others to get what they want. Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others. Be envious of others and believe others envy them. Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited. Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office. At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can: Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special recognition or treatment. Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted. React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior. Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior. Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change. Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail. Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection. Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure. --- Or maybe Leslie simply has Soap Villain Syndrome.
    • Ambryn Michelle and Trisha Mann-Grant are easily the most charismatic actresses to grace daytime in a longggggggg time. This show wouldn’t be as good without them, IMO. 
    • whatever she has is far worse. Narcissism is just a symptom for deeper issues.

    • What is it? I already know Ambyr was electrifying.
    • The show isn't great right now, but I do hope it can stay on, unlikely as that may be. I guess at least it's better than this time last year. I will say it doesn't really feel like Shortland Street anymore.
    • You guys are going to die when you watch the first scene of today's episode.
    • True. We agree here. She is far from done.
    • Jacob's brother is named "Luke" and their mother is named "Darlene", for the sake of specifics and all.
