By now, I think it's obvious: Josh Griffith doesn't know what the [!@#$%^&*] he's doing anymore.

I'm all eyes!!

Josh Griffith: "Thank GOD for whoever invented the cut-and-paste option!"

The name "Dominic" was created by Abby from the initials "D" and "M" for Devon and Mariah.

You're right that Phillip was originally in there ...

----

August 31, 2021, Abby is starting to fill out the birth certificate:
From the transcript:
https://www.tvmeg.com/index.php/2021/09/01/yr-transcript-tuesday-august-31-2021/

Abby: Well, I was up all night. I couldn't sleep. I couldn’t come down from all the excitement, and I came up with a name.
Dominic Phillip Newman Abbott Chancellor.

Tessa: It’s nice.

Mariah: It’s great, yeah.

Abby: Oh, there's a "D" in there for Devon and an "M" for Mariah.

Mariah: The third letter.

Abby: I wanted to make sure that you guys were an everyday part of my son's life.

Mariah: Wow.

Abby: And then Phillip as the middle for Chance, of course.

---- ---- ----

And then November 29, 2021, Abby finds the missing Chance in Spain, to his astonishment. She tells him they have a son and shows him a photo.
From the transcript:
https://www.tvmeg.com/index.php/2021/12/03/yr-transcript-monday-november-29-2021/

Abby: We can't change what happened. But I am here to bring you home to meet your son.

[ Chuckles ]

Chance: I have a son?

Abby: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] Here, and he's beautiful and healthy.

Chance: [ Gasps ]

Abby: [ Laughs ] Dominic Phillip Newman Abbott Chancellor.

Chance: [ Chuckles ] That's quite a handle, but I sure do love it.

Abby: Yeah.

Chance: Oh, my gosh.

Abby: The "D" is for Devon. The "M" is for Mariah. And, well, Phillip is obviously after you. And I just — I wanted him to know how many families he's a part of. How many loving families.

-------------------------

and then after Devon requested legal partial custody and the name change ...

Christine: Alright, so Amanda and I will negotiate all the specifics of the joint custody agreement, put together all necessary paperwork.

Amanda: And it will take some time for the courts to finalize things, but we will approach this in the spirit in which the decision was made. Everyone coming from a place of mutual respect and working together for Dominic’s benefit.

Devon: I do have one request that I’d like to make.

Christine: Yeah, now would be the time.

Devon: Abby, I’ve always really, really appreciated how much thought you put into Dominic’s name and making sure that it, you know, reflects everyone that he’s a part of and everyone who’s a part of him. And in that same spirit, I’d like to give him Neil’s last name, ’cause he’s your godfather, and I just thought it would be a great way to honor the man that showed me what being a father and being a family is all about. So I would love if he would be known as Dominic Phillip Newman-Abbott-Winters- Chancellor.

Chance: That sounds perfect.

Devon: Yeah?

Chance: Yeah.

Devon: Thank you.

Devon: Appreciate the enthusiasm. I do. But, nah, the only thing left is to finalize the legal agreement, which, luckily, Amanda’s taking care of. And she says that Christine has approved all of our requests.

Amanda: Aren’t you forgetting something? Come on. Tell your sister all of the news.

Devon: That’s right, that’s right. So, since Dominic is becoming an official member of the family, i asked if that could be reflected in his name.

Lily: Oh, and they agreed?

Devon: They did, so he will officially be known as Dominic Newman Abbott Winters Chancellor, and I chose Winters instead of Hamilton to honor Neil.

Lily: Wow, what a beautiful thing for you to do. And what an amazing gift to give your son.

_________________________________________________

I don't know why Devon forgot to tell Lily that Phillip is part of the boy's name. Did something happen between Jan. 21 and Jan. 26?  At any rate, on Jan. 26, Devon told Lily a name without Philip -- so that must be why Lily omitted the name Phillip in her gift of the name on the baby's memory book.


Did the judge say there was a limit to the amount of names, so they had to omit one? LOL.
Maybe the Y&R writers simply forgot?


Amanda said it's not official yet. So we'll see what's on the amended birth certificate ... if this is ever finalized.  And we can make a reasonable speculation that since this is a soap, his parentage will all be changed after whatever happens with Dominic's bone marrow.

I'm just glad Dominic isn't a girl.  Otherwise, if he were, and she grew up to be the usual female soap character w/ multiple marriages, there's a good chance her name would've ended up being Dominique Newman Abbott Winters Chancellor Baldwin Grainger Williams Romalotti Brooks Foster Locke McDermott Billingsley Jablonsky Jablonsky Taylor Rivera.

    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?
