Only on a soap opera would the District Attorney be able to tell the police department to assign their lead detective to what amounts to mall cop duty. .. If Chelsea manages to get away with Connor, Rey is going to look about as dumb as one.
I can understand why Faith wouldn't know how to respond to Moses questioning her about what their relationship is. .. She's probably never considered having a non-binary goyfriend.
Do you think we'll actually see this "Who killed Richard?" yarn meet the inside of a courtroom for an honest to goodness trial? .. I'm only asking, because this whole story -- told by narrative exposition alone -- has been hampered by it taking place inside Amanda's hotel room and the lobby of the Grand Phoenix. .. They should have at least built a BIG Ames Family mansion set to convince of Sutton's wealth and power. And besides Naya and Imana living there with Sutton, we'd have Naya's husband, Eric, lurking about, as well as some suspicious-looking, longtime personal assistant of Sutton's, and a loyal maid who's told to report back, if she sees or hears anything whenever Amanda's around. .. But rather than build a set that could actually help a long story arc, they instead use resources to build a humongous (temporary) hotel room for Nick over in Italy just so he can slam Phyllis up against a wall. Surely, a small, European-looking elevator would have done the job there.
In other news, it doesn't appear that anyone's collecting nickels and dimes to fly a plane over Television City to save Dummer & JaBottom. .. Arrivederci.
BUT IN MORE EXCITING NEWS .. "The Woman in the Green Dress" has finally been identified. .. With the current state of the show, I guess viewers are looking to find something-anything to be intrigued about!

Some of the wardrobe choices on this show are just so weird (inappropriate) for what characters are doing. Are they trying to distract viewers? Miss Piggy, Sally, and Tara were all over-dressed for their activity. And don't get me started on Sphyllis. That blue number should be burned. .. The fugly suit they had Lily in this week was not only old-lady style, but a horrid color on her. .. Billy's suit didn;t fit and looked like something off the rack from JC Penney. ( Furthermore, why is he even wearing a suit? He's supposed to be in new media.) .. And hey, if we have to look at Abby in that short pink romper for days on end, then maybe Ben could be wearing a pair of short-shorts (now in style for men). As I recall, Carrigan's got a great pair of thighs and would fill them out nicely.
On another note, why do I not give a fuck where Mariah is or what's happened to her?

The gay twink barista working for Sharon at Crimson Lights is cute. I bet he gets nice tokens in his big TIP JAR on the counter. .. They should have him start dating the porter at the Grand Phoenix, and the duo could swap stories about the idiots they have to wait on all day while they're doing a Chaturbate show from the multi-purpose hotel room. ..

The Tigirlily crap was like a bad CBS-Schoolbreak. .. And given Y&R's demos, the show would probably get more viewers checking-in, if they brought back Danny Ravioli to croon a song.
After a few months now, the femme twink playing Moses hasn't improved one iota. Can we at least upgrade to a 'sensitive jock' who's had a few legitimate acting lessons? .. This Moses is like Reed Hellstom Redux. NEXT!
Nina can't save this story. .. Ben can't save this story. .. And Tessa certainly can't save this story. .. So can we just end this story and have Mariah return from wherever announcing she had a miscarriage off-screen.
Okay, so who's taking care of Christian while Nick is being entertained over in Europe by Noah and his hot Parisian boyfriend? .. Now that Christian is old enough to be in school and not require full-time day care, I've been waiting for Adam to suddenly announce he wants to be a father to his OTHER bio-son.
You go Imani! She certainly doesn't need Amanda's 'approval' to flirt with Nate. .. And why does Amanda even care? Elena cheated on Devon. .. Imani is far more interesting than the unremarkable Elena. .. Why is that character even still around? Oh right, the actress is hooked-up with Dull Devon in real life, and Y&R thinks that's some kind of selling point.

Hilarious to see Sharon filling salt shakers at Crimson Lights one minute, then a few scenes later, they've got her over at the Abbott house consulting with Kyle and Tara as Harrison's professional child psychologist.
At least they've now got The Stafford in her element with her anti-Tara/Sally stance. She's livened up the storyline and has actually been rather fun to watch. .. It's also highlighting just how useless the Nick character has become. I don't miss Morrow at all. .. Hey! There's a way to save some money. He can stay in Milan with Dummer.
I'd forgotten that Victoria and Nate became buds a few years ago when the other actor was playing Nate. .. Mal Young had Nate teaching Victoria taekwondo or karate or something .. lol
Odd to have Adam hire that annoying, trouble-making bitch Chloe. They should think about having him re-hire Poor Kevvie as his Boy Friday again. That past interlude between Adam & Kevin was funny-hot.
(btw - I don't watch B&B, but often catch the opening when Y&R is over with. It seems lately nearly every episode of B&B begins with a SHIRTLESS guy. .. Pay attention Y&R.)

r90, both Hunter King and Michael Mealor have had "contract difficulties" and that's why Summer's departure was so out-of-the-blue and potentially temporary, but word has leaked that it seems neither is going to re-sign. Based on how Phyllis is suddenly on the case and sussing bitches out, I think they are setting up for Kyle to realize Tara is poisonous and leave to be with Summer in Milan (abandoning his new kid, but that's another story). Another out here is that we never saw Tara get the DNA sample from the kid, so it's possible to rigged it to make it look like Kyle is the father when he's not. If they are planning on getting rid of Miss Leiner, that's the way they will go.

There are so many problems at Y&R. Lack of story is #1. Delusional Morina and Griffith think that because they have no budget they can’t have interesting scenes. Write 2 characters in a scene with an interesting conversation. Not a hard concept. Y&R seems so randomly put together. No direction. No plan. Just do scenes and edit them into an episode. There are serious issues at Y&R that no one is addressing.

Three mini spoilers about Monday's show:
- Ptosha Storey's performance as Naya is really wonderful in this episode. (Remember this scene for Daytime Emmys next year. imho.) .. I'm sensing this may be Naya's swan song for awhile? .. Besides the Tara-JaBottom-Dummer story, it seems like the one about Richard's murder is being wrapped up as well? .. I also enjoyed the scene between Victor and Amanda.
- I'm sure many viewers will enjoy Lauren, Phyllis, and Aunt Jack's take-down of Sally, but I couldn't help laugh that this BIG event occurs in the middle of a totally empty Crimson Lights! .. The whole scene just looks so odd that it's funny. .. Is Sally out too? Or, are they keeping her around to cause trouble elsewhere?
- Arrivederci JaBottom! .. Apparently, he thinks Hot Silver Daddy Ashland will allow him to ship Harrison over to Milan to live there with him and Dummer. .. I can hardly wait to hear Aunt Jack moaning about his big empty house. .. I've been thinking maybe they should have him start taking in boarders, and he could become the Anna Madrigal of Genoa City!

R137 I watched it on YouTube since the Canada episode runs one day ahead of us. It was a pretty strong episode that I didn’t ff through amazingly enough. I doubt Sally will be going anywhere. What with Mealor and King out ( looked like their last episode to me ), they need to keep some younger cast. Sharon may hire her at Crimson Lights lol. Even the Amanda Naya stuff was good. They kept the dead weight off the episode like Billy, Lily, Devon, Abby and the maternity shit, Sharon, Rey are pretty boring right now too.

I was not expecting Tara to get arrested. I actually like her character. The show needs more antagonists. She reminds me of a sociopathic ice princess. Her character helps to bring some drama to the show. The Sutton Ames/Richard story is dragging on for too long. I hope it is coming to an end. I am okay with storylines evolving slowly, but this one is going nowhere. There are no new developments. (And I am saying this as someone who likes Naya and Imani.) I think it would be more interesting if Sutton was not responsible for Richard's death, but Sutton's deceased wife (or someone else) was responsible. I think the show should pair Adam and Sally. They would be more interesting than Adam and Sharon. I like the new Faith so much better than the previous one. New Faith and Moses are cute together, but I hope the show does not rush them into a romance. There should be a few road blocks along the way before that happens. I would like for the two of them to be written as true, realistic teenagers.

At least there's some Kadam to brighten up Tuesday's show, and it's pretty funny when Kevin stomps into into Adam's office unannounced blaring, "We need to get something STRAIGHT!"
It was a mistake to return Poor Kevvie to his never-seen job at the GCPD, since Clueless is gone and Rey must work out of his car. .. The show really needs to get Kevin back in Adam's orbit. Rikaart and Grossman play really well off each other. ..

That's all. Another one right now is Gloria. Even though Lauren begrudgingly agreed to hire her mother-in-law to be Sally's assistant/secretary, we never saw her in that role.

Since it looks like Sally is sticking around, Soap 101 would dictate that she'd set her sights on Nicholas to get back at Sphyllis.
That wouldn't be too hard. Rich Boy's pretty easy.
With her reddish hair, Sally could do a Grace Turner and crawl into some bed, turn the lights out, and have Nick think he's fucking Phyllis; or Sally could take a page out of Phyllis' own book and just wait till Nick's had too much to drink at a party (Danny) and/or shoot him up with some drug (Brian) and put him to bed.

I remember the actress, Briana Thomas, who has the lawsuit against Tony Morina. She was an extra, where she played a barista at Crimson Lights. She was an extra in the coffee house for quite a while. I vaguely remember that there was a picture of her on the wall of the coffee, with the words, "Employee of the Month" underneath it. She was cute. I don't remember if she ever had any speaking lines.

It always puzzles me, when these things allegedly happen, why wait so long to bring a lawsuit?
But I don't think one is really "fired" from being an extra. They either call you or don't. That type of claim would seem hard to prove unless the casting assistant actually testifies that Morina specifically told him not to use her any more.
btw - She says she worked in 2019, yet for much of 2020, the show wasn't even in production due to COVID. And then when it did come back, scenes were totally devoid of any background players in order to reduce the number of people on set. I remember how viewers were noting how Genoa City looked a ghost town. Even today, extras are kept to a bare minimum (e.g. we see maybe one background worker, but no other customers beyond the principal actors.)
In any event, I almost hope it's provable. It would be one way of getting rid of Morina and hopefully find someone with a better vision. But knowing Sony, they'd probably promote Griffith to EP-HW showrunner status .. lol.

Not me. Suing somebody, rocking the boat, it's harder when it is really happening to you. Especially when it is an issue that affects your livelihood. I had my working life affected by something that was wrong under the law - harassment - and I didn't do anything about it for a number of reasons. It was three years ago and now I have left that job, but I think about it often. When it's a power imbalance thing, it can stay with you.
So for her to hang on to her feeling when an ugly old man like that tried to exploit her, I can totally understand.

I couldn't stop laughing during Ben's ridiculous "protein bar" yarn that he circuitously links to Mariah's disappearance-kidnappaing. .. Eye-rolling to say the least .. leading to five actors yakking about Mariah's favorite pregnancy snack. Thrilling stuff. .. I guess Ben got the desired effect he was going for, though, because, by the time it was over, Ditzy Abby is telling Ben, "You ARE a HERO !!"
I know things are tough all over, but they really need to think about adding a couple of background players at ChanceComm. That BIG lobby area outside the office is ALWAYS a complete ghost town. It's just so unrealistic for a business that's supposed to be a media company to look so vacant. .. Since all Lily and Billy seem to do is share the same office and talk to each other, they might as well be working from home .. lol. .. Y&R now has baristas, bartenders, and concierges in other scenes, so why not show a background secretary or reporter at ChanceComm once in awhile?
Moses and Faith .. Sorry. I'm not feelin' it. .. Of course, maybe we're not supposed to and Faith will eventually meet some hot, sexy, bad boy jock at Walnut Grove to be an interloper.
Okay .. If Billy is set to uncover something nefarious about Ashland's past when Ashland was "in his 20s," then it would be far more fun if the older, wealthy "mentor" whom Ashland was involved with back then was a MAN .. and that's how Ashland got his money .. fucking some rich, older gay guy .. lol! .. I'm now imagining a scene where we have Billy looking for more details on the relationship, so he gets on Datalounge and starts the topic .. "ELDER GAYS: TELL ME ABOUT ASHLAND LOCKE." .. And within an hour, there are over 200 posts about memories of seeing Ashland at Fire Island and Provincetown ca. 1982. .. Several posters get into an argument about whether Ashland was G4P or bisexual. And one swears he remembers seeing Ashland in an early Nova Studios film, but apparently, it's now "lost." .. So the hunt is on for the missing loop called, "Harder! Deeper! #3".

R264, prior to giving birth, and Abby getting to the house to save her, Mariah did mention it was too early for the baby to come. I was sorry that Stitch was actually responsible for kidnapping Mariah. I knew it was looking like he was guilty, but I was hoping that the unexpected would happen. Perhaps Chance was aware of the danger the baby was in (due to Chance's work as an agent) and he (Chance) had Mariah "kidnapped" for her and the baby's protection. Oh well, so much for being unpredictable. What was the point of having part of the convenience store surveillance video missing if they were only going to find the footage five minutes later?

I agree, R274. I like the GCAC set much better than the new hotel they have. The coffee house set and Victoria's office set are way overdue for a refresh. Victoria's office takes up too much space. They could cut it in half and have space for another permanent set. It is embarrassing that Lily and Billy are always in Lily's office. If they got rid of the Chance Comm reception area, they could use the space for Billy's office, or just use the excuse that Billy's office is being redecorated and he needs to share space with Lily, and bring a second desk in that office. At least try to make it somewhat believable.

Imani is more interesting to watch than either monotone Amanda or deadwiood Elena. Unfortunately, she's the actress not on contact. It looked like Imani had set her sights on The Love Doctor, but we haven't seen her character for nearly a month now.
I think the scene with Sharon and Mariah in the hospital was set up that way so that Tessa could be the one right next to Mariah. The lesbians have spoken! .. lol! .. But thank god, they didn't have Tessa pull out a guitar and start crooning her latest love song to Mariah.
And GloWorm was amazing set, R274. It wasn't even that old, so it didn't make any sense when they destroyed the place. .. And the GCAC was far classier than Society or the Grand Phoenix combined. There was also more opportunities to attach other sets to the GCAC if-when required (e.g. the rooftop Dive bar, the workout room, the steam room, even the basement, etc.) Another idiot move by JFP, since she also burned The Ranch down.

I hope they will continue in that direction, especially if they are going to keep Elena on the show. Elena is such a boring character. I would like for them to keep Naya on the show to try to drive a wedge between Devon and Amanda. She can start with her disapproval of Devon wanting to be with his dead wife's twin sister. Amanda can be torn between the man she loves and her long lost mother.

R286, I am guessing that the show is going to use Mariah's kidnapping as an excuse for her behavior in the months to come. I think Mariah is going to get attached to "Bowie" and want to keep him. Perhaps she will kidnap him. This will be blamed on her mental state as a result of being kidnapped and locked in a room by herself for weeks. Remember Chelsea was taken (by Adam) and put in a room not too long ago. That situation was used as part of the excuse for what she eventually did to Adam and Rey.
R281, you make a good point about the stakes being low on this show. I think the writers and producers need to go on a weeklong retreat and brainstorm some ways to bring new life into this show. They keep trying to revisit the same tired ideas (e.g., Sharon and Adam, Nick-Phyllis-Jack, Victoria and Billy).

Instead of scripting a lame story for Solo Abby, they should have taken the opportunity to write her out as well. .. Remember when Boredway took her own maternity leave from the show, and they wrote Abby off to Paris for a couple of months? Her absence had ZERO affect and NO ONE missed her.

I didn't love Donnie Boreass, but he did make Abby more palatable than she had ever been, and certainly more than she has since.

I've been wondering whether the new black characters will survive the absence of Susan Dansby. I like Amanda and Nate. And maybe Imani (I still don't trust her not to stab Amanda in the back).
I'm surprised Sally has survived. As Phyllis said, she absolutely lacks an iota of self-awareness. Maybe she will be the most interesting character over the months to come. We need someone to get Adam out of those dreadful black and navy outfits he's been sporting, and I doubt it will be Rafe.

How bad must Ashland's BIG SECRET be? .. All I can imagine is, after running ran away from home, Ashland ended-up being recruited to do several films for Laguna Pacific. And prior to exiting the studio, he took an XL pay-day to bottom on screen. .. Nikki would be sympathetic due to her own "Hot Hips" video experience, then remind Victoria that she did a nude centerfold herself.
MINI-SPOILER: Tomorrow's dream-fantasy sequence is why Aunt Jack is called Aunt Jack.

Its always hilarious when they have Syphyllis or Poor Kevvie do a google and within five minutes they're able to uncover information that Victor's highly-paid team of private investigators and/or government law enforcement authorities with their databases haven't .. lol.
Anyway, this Ashland Locke "mystery" is now eating the show. His BIG secret better be good.
I'm not holding my breath. It's Josh Griffith.

I get a chuckle thinking that Richard Burgi was initially on recurring while Elizabeth Leiner (Tara) was put on contract from the get go.
The Tara part of the storyline was a bust and they (mercifully) got rid of Leiner, while Burgi is the one who really shined and they're keeping him around.
And frankly, the Ashland Locke storyline is the ONLY thing that is remotely interesting on Y&R these days.

[quote] The Tara part of the storyline was a bust and they (mercifully) got rid of Leiner.
I think the only reason Leiner was dismissed was due to TPTB not being able to negotiate new contracts with JaBottom and Dummer. If those two were still around, then Tara would more than likely still be boring us silly as well. In effect, the character was basically made obsolete by Sony's decision to let those two go, so became collateral. .. They soon moved other character's interest in Tara's sketchy background to a story about investigating Ashland's. And instead of this Gaines blackmailing Ashland, we probably would have ended up having Tara's younger brother come to town doing the same to her. Recall, he'd been mentioned a couple of times, once in front of Phyllis, who seemed to take note that he'd been a person to track down.

ahhhh ... How sweet, but ultimately tragic.
So today, we finally learn that Ashland was actually born "Robert 'Bobby' De Franco" and named himself after his 16-year old fuck-buddy, who was the real "Ashland Locke."
Apparently, our teen-aged lovebirds went out and got matching tattoos on their calves(!), but when Bobby's asshole father saw this, he beat Bobby up, which is what caused him and Ash to run away from home together.
Anyway, even though Bobby & Ash had to work the boardwalk and hustle in Jersey beach towns, it sounds like our young duo was totally devoted to one another and, if not for the horrible car accident that killed Ash, their love would more than likely have had the power to go the distance.
You know, though, this sort of thing must happen way more frequently than I ever imagined, since this is almost the exact same story we heard from George Kaplan (Bradley Carlton) and Ben Russell (Ben Rayburn) when both of them took the identities of their extra-special buddies after they too were tragically killed.

IF what r317 says is correct, I predict Jessie Gaines will turn out to be the real Ashland Locke who didn't die in a car crash. Instead, he had amnesia for many years but ultimately got his memory back. Faux Ashland has been paying him off for decades.

Unless we get something far more salacious than what Ashland-Bobby has already told us, then his backstory seems quite tame compared to some of the things The Newmans have done.
I rather enjoyed Victoria slamming Nicholas, but it would have been even better if she'd brought up how reckless teen Nick was when he caused girlfriend, Sandy Allen, to become paralyzed, thus ruining her career as an Olympic diving hopeful. And of course, in that case, Big Daddy Victor had to step-in and clean up MyBoy's big mess by flashing the cash. .. Oh, and let's not even talk about all the things Nick's very own partner, Phyllis, did when she was younger. She probably knows a thing or two about walking away from a fire where a dead body was found (Sasha Green).

R319 But how could Jesse Gaines be Real Ashland when he's something like 10-12 years younger than Faux Ashland? We heard that our kindred spirits were the same age (16) when they ran away together, and it's why Bobby-Ashland was able to use his dead buddy's I.D. and go to the job interview appointment that Ash already had with Camilla Rhodes, pretending to be him.

I wonder if Ashland's velvet tux comes with a matching faux fur cape?
