-- This show continues to write scenes that make no sense.

-- Why would Devon and Abby go to Crimson Lights with all that's happening with Dominic? I realize they wanted scenes with Tessa, but they can't do better than this? A visit to the coffee shop?

-- With Devon's money, why aren't swarms of investigators around? Where is Abby's family?

-- Billy and Cane take over an entire company and now want to keep it a secret because Jill is sick? What? No one does any work at these companies -- they talk about taking over and who's in charge.

-- Newman is in chaos, but Nick and Sharon head to the GCAC for eats? What?

-- I know budget is the problem. So stop writing scenes and stories that don't work without a budget.

Exactly.

The kidnap story would be way more interesting with a location shoot, a team of police combing the city etc etc.

Sharon is too busy blasting Phyllis at GCAC to care about Mariah the kidnapper.

Speaking of Phyllis, she is reaching new heights of delusion and the character is being shown for what she is, but I get the feeling we are supposed to have some sympathy for her.

Anyway, within months this will all be forgotten and she'll be back with Nick or Billy.

Sharon looked really pretty yesterday with that sparkly jacket thing she had on. I’ve always liked her fashion until this new wardrobe lady took over. She does such a great job with everyone else’s looks except Sharon’s. They dress her so matronly lately. It’s definitely a hit or miss

You said "sparkly" It reminded me of Sharon wearing something sparkly when she got kidnapped 🤣

Oh wouldn’t that be just what we need right now. Sharon getting kidnapped again on top of all the other kidnappings happening this year 😂 honestly wouldn’t shock me at this point.

I am starting to have some sympathy for her, what with the Newman's seeing her and Cane using the AI that Victor was already using against Cane and Jabot as being beyond the pale and unforgiveable. And Summer quickly forgave Victor for having Jack replaced by his double on his honeymoon with Phyillis, but she can't even talk to her mother now? Though it's not so much that Phyllis is looking good now as the others are looking worse.

Y&R is just bad. Phyllis is insufferable and I can't stand her. Yes, Victor has done horrible things, specifically to Phyllis. However, with Michelle Stafford in the role, I hate Phyllis. I think having Gina Tognoni as Phyllis would indeed make this idiocy more bearable.

And don't get me started on this ridiculous Mariah story. It makes ZERO sense.

I've tried, I really have, but seeing Tamara Braun & Lucas Adams together gives me the ick. All I see is Tripp & Ava.

I must be in the minority here because as someone who historically has hated Phyllis since she was a shameless home-wrecker in 2006, I am actually rooting for her in this situation because to me, the Newman clan is even more dreadful when they’re all ganging up on someone and it’s always nice to see them get knocked down a few pegs. I still think these storylines make no f*cking sense, but I’ll root for Phyllis in this instance if it means the Newmans lose for awhile.

I loved the storyline that MTS suggested in one of her interviews about all the Newmans losing everything for awhile and having to be homeless or live in a dingy motel, like that show Schitts Creek (which is what she compared it to). That would be great to watch, and the humour that could come out of it? It would be something different and fun.
