Besides the car crash that killed PC2, Jill also hated Kay because she went to court and got Phillip's Dominican Republic divorce from her thrown out, which meant Phillip's subsequent deathbed marriage to Jill became null and void as well as his directive that Jill's then unborn child be his rightful heir. Kay's actions made Jill's baby illegitimate, and the boy could not be called Phillip Chancellor III, and instead had to go be raised as plain ol' Phillip Foster.

Kay was a total SLUT.
Recall, we also heard that when her first husband, Gary Reynolds, went to work abroad in Germany for a year and took 7-year old Brock with him, Kay and her drinking buddy, Charlotte, went out partying and carousing almost every night. .. I still remember the way Charlotte (the wonderful Elizabeth Harrower) read that line, "The men, ohhhh the MEN!" .. She made it sound like the two party girls enjoyed sampling random cocks left and right. .. That's during the time when Kay eventually began fucking one guy in particular, Tucker's father, Arthur Hendricks, who I believe was in college and working as a waiter at the GCAC so he could go to law school.

R31 The reason they look good(?) if that's the way one sees it, is because most, if not all of them, have had already had work done.
We know Stafford's been having surgeries-procedures for well over 15 years now. That was put out there in one of Vicky Rowell's "bedtime stories" involving her and then-EP, Ed Scott, who apparently had a talk with her and "suggested" she go in and have "the same eye job that Michelle had just had done." The implication was she was looking old and needed to have something done about it. Rowell turned it around on Big Ed and pointedly asked him if he'd also told his wife to go in and have it done. ..lol.
Bregman too. I remember years ago, she had something go wrong with one of her procedures and had to keep the right side of her forehead-temple area covered with her hair. This was around the time she had a massive boob job. She can't even move most of her face now. .. And people have been talking about Case's face for over a year now. Whatever she had done seems to have 'settled in' somewhat, presently. .. Years ago Susan Walters talked about her bad experience with Botox treatments and that she was giving it up, but that doesn't mean she hasn't had some other cosmetic work done since. .. Some feel Eileen had nose and breast jobs in the past and that she had something done to her face about a year ago. Better work on her part, though.

Former Y&R EP, Jill Farren Phelps, predicts how soaps will react to the strike.
Josh Griffith probably has a list of fellow FiCore scribes he'll call up to do the actual scripts. After all, he's already doing the breakdowns.
One interesting thing Phelps says is:
[quote] One unlikely consequence of the strike was that the show’s producers tended to loosen the purse strings and the usual controls just to get episodes finished. “During a strike, the financial constraints are all but released because the writers are no longer being paid so sets can be created and most of the money rules that strangle daytime are gone,” Phelps said.

R41 Sony (Steve Kent) took the opportunity to fire LML during the strike. As showrunner, she'd was been EP-HW, so I guess not doing one function meant she wasn't doing the other. Kent installed Josh Griffith as EP and Maria Arena Bell as HW. After the strike, MAB was retained as HW and Paul Rauch became EP. Eventually, MAB became EP-HW with Hogan Sheffer brought in as co-HW. .. Interestingly, Sheffer had also been let go as the HW at Days during the strike. Thing is, both he and Meg Kelly had gone FiCore to keep working, yet were told to stay home, with Days taking the opportunity to release them and replace then with Dena Higley, who subsequently went on to become the the official HW at Days after the strike.

(That was the wedding that got aborted because Phyllis showed up - Gina T's big entrance at the church.)

R114 No. .. Episodes and scripts airing now were still written pre-strike. It will probably be another month (or more) before any strike material airs. .. Recall, during the last strike, it was right at the outset in November 2007 that we heard fairly reliable rumors (from that Bell-mouthpiece) that Latham wasn't writing and was going to be canned. .. But the Griffith-Bell material didn't start airing until late December. .. I think Latham's firing was then confirmed sometime in February 2008.

Given their history, L'Bug not believing that Syphilis faked her death and is still alive is sooooo stupid. .. Cricket should be directing Chance to use every resource available to track the bitch down, so she can prosecute her for obstruction of justice and 25 other crimes.
And Aunt Jack and JaBottom playing "CSI: Genoa City" is laughable. Note to producers: Unless you're going to go there, don't show JaBottom putting on a pair of vinyl gloves.
Dear gawd in heaven! ... They're not going to have DuhVon buy and move into the Chancellor Estate are they?
Nice to see that it looks like they've decided to keep the main dining room of the GCAC up. But enough of Messa and the baby. How to waste 10 minutes of an episode with boring, repetitive filler.
And Sharon receiving a bottle of expensive champagne with an ominous, unseen lurker watching her? .. My first thought was Cameron Kirsten is out of prison and back. .. Recall, Sharon hit him over the head with a bottle of champagne, believing she killed him. .. This led to some crazy, camp material such as Larry helping Sharon stash the "corpse" in the Genoa City sewer, and later, she and Nikki going down into it to try to find it. It's been something like 20 years. Cameron was played by Susan Walters' real-life husband, Linden Ashby.

Nope. Abby and Dom moved into DuhVon's penthouse back in early April.
Chance -- the only true Chancellor heir along with gay Phillip -- is apparently flying solo at the Chancellor Estate, which we haven't seen since they showed that new room in the house months ago. That scene probably signaled that they'd shuttered the main Chancellor set.

I fail to understand why the show has kept such a dull character and bland actor around for so long. Yeah, I know Devon represents a connection to Neil Winters which the show obviously wants to keep playing up.

I liked KSJ, but even with "Kneel" - as he began to be called - the character became rather boring after Drucilla exited.
Those two were a true supercouple in my book - playing off each other so well. But once she was gone, Neil was just kind of 'there' - much the way DuhVon is.
They tried a lot of pairings - Karen, Tyra, Ashley, Sofia LOL!, Leslie, Hilary, etc. - and nothing really clicked.

One wonders if they changed the bed sheets between the Mariah-Tessa and Boretoria-Nate sex scenes? It was way too obvious that both couples were in the same room and bed at GCAC.. .. The only good thing about running these two scenes concurrently is that viewers can use the same barf bag.
Besides Summer, Detective Chance should also get Daniel in a position to interrogate him one-on-one about Phyllis. .. I'd suggest getting him alone at the steam room at the Athlletic Club.. Now, there's a set they need to bring back.
Funny, if they don't want us to know who the ominous lurker is who sent Sharon the champagne and is watching her, then why did they include the actor's name and character on the IMDb credits for the episode ..lol.

On Tuesday, Tucker and Audra sniping at one another in the Chancellor Pickup Park is pretty entertaining. .. I enjoyed their scene. .. TSJ does deadpan well, and the actress playing Audra is good delivering the snark. .. I'm also laughing at how Aunt Jack has a major hissy fit every time he encounters Tucker just lazing around the Abbott house. .. Tucker to Jackie: "You know I always figured the manners in this place would be more genteel, but sometimes it's like a truck stop on a Friday night around here."
And how funny that every time Sharon talks to someone about the mystery bottle of champagne, the lurker just happens to be watching from the patio. .. Either he's got great timing, or he lives out there.
Billy mentions the status of Jabot's "Men's Grooming Collection." .. Glad to hear the Men's Line still exists! .. This made me think they should have a male model audition (like in the olden days), and because it's a grooming collection, they need to find a new spokesman for their Groin Shaving Gel and Nut Rub Cologne. .. The men would have to demonstrate their competency in this area. .. Speaking of Hot Conner Floyd, didn't Chance mention not that long ago that he was thinking of giving police work up? .. Maybe he could apply for that job.

JFP was smart to fire dull as dishwater Ellen Parker to free up money for Justin Deas, who brought a new type of much-needed energy to the show. He wasn't the typical low-energy P&G actor. Buzz was one of my all-time favorite characters. Justin is one of the best actors in daytime, right up there with Larry Bryggman, Eric Braeden, and Douglas Watson.

Speaking of Johnny, what a nerd! I keep thinking I'm watching "Young Sheldon."
While searching the cum-dumpsters in the back alley of The No-tel Motel, they should have had Chance encounter a cute, homeless twink who unknowingly has information about Phyllis and Stark. Chance would take the lad home to get cleaned up, feed him, and question him further. ..

Linden Ashby looks really scruffy, very weathered with long-ish hair and scraggly beard. It doesn't help that they have him in old man blue jeans. Maybe, they want him to look like he just got out of prison, but he sticks out like a sore thumb as he checks into the the posh GCAC. The initial reaction from the hotel's concierge would probably be more along the lines, "Are you the plumber here to unplug the clogged toilets on the third floor?"
