Put what? What I do now?

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.

Billy to Chelsea: "I fired Lily. And Chance quit, so everything's on me."

Is that why he's hanging out at the GCAC? This show. Are there no other employees under Billy?

All of it sucks so bad I want to punch my TV.

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.

Why is Sally dressed at Crimson Lights like she's going to some debutante ball?

[Liberty City]

I agree.

@Taoboi I literally had to laugh out loud when I saw that Billy’s only go talk to these days is his daughter Katie 

[Taoboi]

I thought that painted in an even worse light than he was already being painted honestly. 

 

So in his own little kid world, he can't even be there for his own kid. 

 

Insufferable.

Didn't watch the episode, but I'm surprised that Katie hasn't been SORASed to a teenager yet. I'm almost 100% positive alot of the kids who were born around the same time she was have been SORASed.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case @MichaelGL.

I'm thrilled at the thought of Phyllis working with Billy at AC. Time to shake this dead show up a bit. This will be a good start. I'm sick of them continuing to waste the superb talent of MStafford and JThompson.

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!

[ranger1rg]

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?
