Does Nicholas even go home to the house we never see or the son that is being ignored?

MTS is getting a bit too wiggly and flirty with Noah as Grandma Nikki…

Phyllis’s outfit is tacky.

Nicholas has joined the not so exclusive club of characters without homes. By my count

Lauren/Michael

Kevin/Chloe

Nate

Elena

Sharon/Rey/Faith

Sally

Characters without workplaces

Jack/Mariah

Nate/Elena

Devon

Kevin/Rey

Gloria

Sally/Chloe

Amanda/Imani

Michael

Have I forgotten anyone?

Makes it hard to tell good story in cafes and hotel rooms.

I was hoping after the palazzo for an improvement in this area but no dice.

Is Elena still living in Lola's apartment upstairs from Crimson Lights? When was it last shown?

Sharon's cottage will return, there are spoiler pics of nuNoah there.

Yeah an interview with Peter Bergman confirmed they are not using the Jabot set.

Sally and Chloe were being shown working at Newman Media at one point. Did that stop?

They've been shown in the corridor and in Adam's office but not in a space of their own.

I'm going to include Phyllis, as wandering around the lobby of the Greasy Pelican doesn't count as a workplace.

Elena is till living above CL. She referenced it a few weeks ago,

Sharon’s cottage was shown today. Noah has moved in.

Well they still show the Abbott House, so I would think Jack still lives there? Also we just saw Mariah and Tessa's apartment recently...or whatever it is. (I forget nor really care if it's a room at the Grand Phoenix or not?) 

I was referring to Jabot where Jack and (for some reason) Mariah work.

Mariah and Tessa were sharing a dingy apartment , then moved to the Chancellor estate before getting a room at the Garish Plughole.

I’m hardly a Shadam shipper but good grief, at this point Rey is obsessed over Adam more than Sharon can ever be. He still comes a very close second to Billy.

And Sharon and Rey come across as nothing like a married couple. There’s just nothing there between them.

Billy said his Job 1 at Chance Comm is to “decimate the competition.” Since when is a company’s prime goal to destroy other companies???

I hate to be constantly wishwriting the show but imagine how this could be an actual character layer instead of a random bad line.
Billy is a late-in-life child who arrived after all his siblings had already achieved a lot in life so maybe he turns out to be overcompetitive and overaggressive to prove something.
It could be that his mother's fondness for Cane and sometimes weird detachment from him led him to overthink his current relationship with Lily and want to prove something to Jill and Lily. 
Who knows?
They could make it a thing and have some interesting character drama out of it. And they could tell it all with the budget and sets they have! It could be all shown on-screen.
But no. It is just a bad line and a bad story and let's focus on random characters with stories that happen out of frame.

Since the wedding I have tuned out,  again relying on recaps and skimming through downloads  as there is NOTHING of interest going on.

The wedding was a bust. Taking a bunch of characters to  a new locale for a marriage where the groom is suspect and you would expect high drama. A murder? an attempted murder? Victoria turning on Ashland as she takes her vows? Ashland disappearing? Jack banging Phyllis? 

An original character returning with a secret?

But no, just the usual conversations in a different setting.It was expected that a couple of new sets would keep us enthralled.

So after that it's back to more of the same in GC.

Poor Jack, no workplace, no family and now no home. Just wandering into frame on his cell phone surprised to once again run into Phyllis one sleeve and then devoting his time to listen to her self indulgent blather.

They should have saved the money from Tuscany to create some offices, populate the sets with extras and give the women some classy clothes.

Does Morina even watch the show? i'd be embarrassed to have my name in the credits as being responsible for this.

Preach!!! It's a sad day when we don't see Jabot vs. Newman anymore and we get these two dull media companies. 

I’m actually quite liking these Phyllis/Nick scenes, to my pleasant surprise.

They feel very natural and real. Not overwritten and not generic.

These are probably my favorite scenes of JG’s entire tenure.

Who wrote the script today? I missed it.

I’m about 7 episodes behind. I just want to say it again. Jack would be an absolute moron to go back to Phyllis. She’s literally cheated on THREE TIMES, twice with Nick and once with his own damn brother. He looks pathetic to me.
