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?

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
