Oh, I was talking about THIS. Playing catch up on last week and I hollered during the Chance vs Billy scenes when Chance not only called Jill behind Billy's back, but reminded him Chancellor was HIS name and ON the building thus reminding Billy of HIS birthright. 

 

I thought of you and what you said above cuz...this was just after the episode before where Chance was talking to Summer about his feelings over this mess. 

 

And even he poked fun at the name change in this episode. If there had to be a name change...which there did not need to be and it is only for Billy's ego, not Jill's...it should have been Chancellor-Abbott which looks better than Abbott-Chancellor anyway.

Yeah this past week was a meh week.

 

Unless it's the week where he has the big fall that is soooo coming his well-deserved way, any week that centers on Billy is going to suck. I don't care that he's mad at Adam. I don't care how much Chelesa begs for his forgiveness so he feels like a big man. Any 'man' whom only storyline is that focused only on putting his last name on an established company and throwing tantrum about it ain't worth my time. 

 

Right now, it is very much throwing things at the wall to see what sticks again. Le sigh. That said there were a FEW things I liked.

 

For one, like I was telling @NothinButAttitude, I was loving that Chance got a POV and then he started to get into it with Billy. I wished that he had figured out that the real reason for Billy's latest tantrum was his drama with Chelesa, but he got pretty close. And I LOVED him reminding Billy HIS name is on the company as well. And lest I forget to say I also love that NO ONE is taking Billy changing the name seriously. 

 

And so it begins...Sharon going off the rails. She was reading Daniel and Heather down. And I know she will keep on doing it so excited. I was just thinking that I'm surprised Faith has not mentioned to Nick that Sharon told her she was seeing Cameron, but it looks like she might have mentioned it. 

 

Outside of that, nice angle of JM's bubble on Friday during Sharon going off on Lucy at Society. 


That's all I got. lol.

He ain't the only one.

Sooo I was just looking at Y&R’s ratings after it was mentioned B&B is about to overtake it following the Luna story last week.
 

Sure enough Y&R tied it’s low, a point away from being tied with B&B. The astounding part is the show is down 219K viewers closing from last year…..thanks a lot Josh!

If only it made any sense for Billy to hire Phyllis.

He's just gone through all this turmoil at AC and got rid of Lily and Chance. And their replacement is PHYLLIS, who he knows is a complete mess and disaster?

We hear a retelling of Phyllis' resume, which means hearing the Grand Phoenix was a "world-class hotel" and that Phyllis is a tech genius. So now she can help run AC? LOL.  OK.

Once again, we're living in a world where these huge businesses have no one working for them who can replace someone who's been (ridiculously) fired.

No wonder the ratings have tanked.

Off to a decent start.

 

Nate and Audra coming out into the open with their relationship and the reactions were good. Of course, Devon would have an issue. Meanwhile, Kyle and Summer SCHEMING TOGETHER to get rid of Audra could be interesting. 

 

I don't like Sharon's storyline, but I am always here for Sharon reading people down. Hopefully, this is the next turn in the story, and there will be some movement.

 

The main drama was Billy vs Chance. I loved Chance continuing to stand up for himself, though I felt that Billy had a point. However, so did Chance. And this is where Jill not being around is not helping because I don't feel Jill would fire Lily, either. And even if she did, Jill would want someone there to take care of Billy's bad impulses. And that's what most of what Billy does is. Impulses. On the good side, since I wanted Chance back as a cop, I have no problem with that. Just...WRITE FOR HIM. Are we overdue a murder mystery?

    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • 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.
