Death by Boredom Cases Still on the Rise in Genoa City

You know, I've been aware of the joke about her since almost the beginning. Yet, I've never known anything more about her than that she's a running DL joke. I know nothing about her career, who she is, or anything she's ever said or done - outside of DL jokes, of course.

One day, I'm actually going to google her - not today. But, someday.

Looks like Mo Benard is trying to coax Grossman onto his podcast by sending him a case of his Grecian Formula.

Genoa City, oh dear, I’m a Lake Geneva girl.

Grossman is using Grecian Formula?

Already?

He's only 36.

At least Grossman has full head of healthy hair.

RIkaart admitted to having to start coloring his hair well over a decade ago.

Sometimes it's the show that wants the grey gone. Years ago, LeBlanc said he'd gone on his annual vacation and let the grey grow out naturally on the sides (where his real hair is), and gave up dying it. When he got back, he 'quietly' kept it for a week, then a memo was sent to get rid of the grey and start coloring it again.

Back in the day, the business stories on Y&R were actually some of the best in daytime, but they weren't overplayed.

But who is CEO or runs what company, or works wherever for whom has become such repetitive crap. They're pointless and boring. Enough!

If you eliminated all the business stories on Y&R right now, all you'd have left would be deaf baby Aria and Kyle's affair with Audra (which still manages to touch on business)

Sadly, I remember jacking off to Doug Davidson. My, how time flies.

From last week:

[quote] Victor reclaims his throne and appoints Nikki as CEO of Newman Media

This would only make sense if Newman Media were an adult entertainment company, and Nikki was going be in-charge of the company upcoming re-release of the newly re-mastered, 40th Anniversary Edition of her porn film, "Hot Hips," including new bonus footage as well as the film's director detailing what special effects were used to put Nikki's head on top of Boobsie's body.

BD is well preserved and doesn't need to alter her images as extensively as she does. The wigs are horrible and cheapen her appearance

Are the rumors true? Is Cane returning?

I know the show's in bad shape these days, but do we really have to endure dull as dishwater Cane?

Canestipation smirks again!

It's a Daytime crossover with TPIR.

Apparently, Drew Carey is going to be playing NuCane, and the character returns to finally get it on with Traci Abbott.

[quote] According to Josh Griffith, executive produce and head writer, "Cane has seen the error of his ways and now wants to eat breakfast in bed with Traci. Needless to say, this love match is hot and heavy. Viewers are going to love taking this big journey with them."

(No word on whether Drew will try to play the role with an Australian accent, but at least Cane will no longer be mumbling unintelligibly.)

This initial storyline is a short-term arc, but Cane will be seen from time-to-time based on Carey's schedule, so his relationship with Traci will be ongoing. Setside sources are already talking about prepping for a New Years Eve Wedding, so TRANE may be the couple taking the huge plunge.

Eventually Cane's son, Sam, will be introduced into the tween set, and in a highly flirtatious move, Sam will give Miss Connor a wedgie on the soccer field!

[quote] Griffith explains, "Sam is a fun, free-spirited tween who wears his heart on his sleeve. He knows what he wants and isn't afraid to express himself. Sam sees Connor as this sullen "old" sourpuss in need of a sense of humor. But Will Sam's attempts to put a smile on Connor's face work, or backfire immensely?"

Looks like Thom is channeling Wilma Jeanne, who took everyone along for her face lift back in the mid-80s, as he's put up video of his recent hair transplant.

Link to new GH thread. The previous one maxed out.

Speaking of both GH and Thom Bierdz, now that gay actor, Adam Huss, is no longer on that soap, Y&R should hire him to play NuPhillip. Bierdz is a mess.

Even if it were just a short arc, I'd like to see Chance interact with his dad.

[quote]Speaking of both GH and Thom Bierdz, now that gay actor, Adam Huss, is no longer on that soap,

Adam Huss was on GH this week playing Nikolas.

R17 Oh, I thought his stint ended awhile back. Is he recurring? He can do both!

In looking at Huss' resume, I had no idea that he's the actor who played "Lance" the guy Sheila Carter infamously murdered with the bees!

Not clear on what Huss' status is with GH at the moment. But he been in two episodes in the past week as Nikolas.

Whether he continues as Nikolas is unknown.

I agree, Adam Huss would make a good P3. And Chance certainly needs some family there to support him. Jill's not there. Nina's not there. So why not Phillip coming to town for a while.

But is there enough of an age difference for Huss to convincing play Chance's father? Huss is 46 while Conner Floyd is early 30s.

Too close in age.

Beirdz looks like Frankenstein.

wasn't P3 in his teens when they had the baby?

Bierdz really is channeling Wilma Jeanne in that video at r14.

Why is he still spending all this money on plastic surgery? It's not like he's going to be hired as an actor ever again.

Huss 46 - Floyd 29 = 17

I think Phillip was just turning 18 when Nina gave birth to PC4.

So it works, well enough. Plus, it makes sense that a gay guy like Phillip takes care of himself and looks great.

Huss iwould certainly be just as believable as some of daytime's parent-child age differences. Look at Chrissy and Judith Chapman. Just six years separate them.

I realize Nikki has been involved in business storylines since she plunked down a boatload of cash from one of her Newman divorce settlements to buy her way into Jabot, thereby"saving" the company from Victor before he could call in the company's bank loans or something; but these scenes where they've got her playing Victor's right-hand woman on the business front and CEO of this, that, and everything else ain't working. Even Brenda was more believable as a businesswoman than Mel. Nikki should be planning Arts Council galas with society bitches and having flings with young Cuban cock, or at the very least managing her own strip club (e.g. Marsino's). That was actually entertaining. Thursday night is gay night with hot twunks dancing in the cages.

Jabottom could be Nicki's COO! Newman is a family business, so I give them some leeway. I actually find her more believable than Vicsnoria who they've had jetting off to LA with just Nate in tow to "buy streaming services" because that's how that all works.

[quote]Even Brenda was more believable as a businesswoman than Mel. Nikki should be planning Arts Council galas with society bitches and having flings with young Cuban cock, or at the very least managing her own strip club

Every time they have Nikki weighing in on some business issue, I giggle a little. MTS is definitely not believable as a businesswoman.

I really think they’ve just run out of ideas for what these characters can do. Yeah it’s pretty ridiculous Nikki as a CEO, but they want to keep her married to Victor, and involved in the goings on of the Newman family so I don’t mind too much. The writers writing most of this dreck need to be fired. You really can’t keep up with the musical chairs of Jabot and NE anymore because it changes almost weekly. Plus most of the characters are so smug and unlikeable, and not even in the they’re so bad they’re entertaining realm, its really sinking this show, JaBottom, the whore he’s in bed with every five seconds, Victoria, Nate, Tucker, Devon, Billy to name a few. Even Ashley, whom I’m normally a fan of, has been written as this major cunt lately.

[quote] Every time they have Nikki weighing in on some business issue, I giggle a little.

My reaction is more of an eye-roll.

It wasn't that long when Mel was asked what she thought Nikki's worst storyline ever was, and she said it was when Lathag had Nikki running for Senate. Her reaction was something like, "Seriously?" .. Nikki playing corporate CEO is right next to that.

The least they could is give Nikki a HOT male secretary. She'd run ideas and suspicions past him, and he'd be her confidential minion and spy. The relationship wouldn't have to be as campy as Real Jill and David Kimble nor as humorous as Wilhelmina Slater and Marc St James (Ugly Betty). But there'd be this dynamic between them, and she'd be able to depend on this guy whenever she needed to do an end-run around someone or find out some information.

This show is so lacking in fun supporting characters.

R18 He's recurring, even though he has a fan base that would prefer he were on contract (Frank has yet to give a temporary recast their role on a permanent basis, so he would be an exception)

R19 Wow I never knew that was him either. Even when B&B aired flashbacks of that incident many months ago, I didn't realize it was him. Hot as hell then and now lol

R24 Somewhere in Bierdz' video on the procedure, he says something like, 'And I still won't like the way I look." He's obviously got some kind of body dysmorphic discorder. and that's why he keeps on doing it. He should be spending what money he does have on therapy instead.

‘Brenda Dickson obituary’ comes up in Google autotype for search.

When will Victoria try to have Victor committed for Alzheimer's?

Related thread on Billy Miller's death.

R33 That might be less embarrassing than typing in "Melody Thomas Scott" and getting "weight loss."

FALL PREVIEW:

After being fired from Newman Media, JaBottom finds success on OnlyFans and soon does a collab with former fuckbuddy, Theo Vanderway.

Nikki sucks one two many lemons with her water at the GCAC and without any warning just up and dies of sour stomach right there in the club dining room.

Getting stuck in the elevator together, Adam surprisingly learns that Rafe Torres lives in the same apartment building that he recently moved into. .. uh oh. Why is Adam suddenly having strange dreams and night sweats?

Fed up with her father, Boretoria decides to return to her true destiny and takes a job teaching art to kindergartners. .. After an initial arc where "Miss Vicki" proves herself when she settles an intense battle over white paste between Harrison Locke and Miles Fisher, she's bumped to recurring status and only shows up for weddings, funerals, and every other Christmas.

And speaking of destiny - Danny returns which leads Cricket to finally get back to her destiny by agreeing to be his beard once again .. just in time for the 35th Anniversary of "Rock On." .. No one understands why this move upsets Syphilis so much, but she needs her episode counts.

The twink who works the counter at Crimson Lights fills new manager Esther in on how the back room slot machine operation works, thereby we finally learn how this independent coffee shoppe competes with the likes of Starbucks. (Yes, this story has been stolen from "Young Sheldon.")

Mariah and Tessa move to Switzerland to seek treatment for Aria and nobody notices.

Victor reveals that the secret investor joining Chancellor-Winters is none other than MISS CONNOR !! .. Needless to say, heads are gonna roll.

[quote] This show is so lacking in fun supporting characters.

A problem that killed a lot of soaps and is draining the life out of the rest.

Except for GH, which is so filled with characters it's hard to keep them straight.

[quote] Mariah and Tessa move to Switzerland to seek treatment for Aria and nobody notices.

LOL! So true!!

Has Chance put out a BOLO on Elana?

When was the last time she was seen in Genoa City?

Does Eric Braeden want to retire now, so he agreed to a "Victor has Alzheimer's" last storyline?

ugh. Why does Sally have to be in the scene with bare-chested Nick and his big muscle tits? She spoils everything. .. A solo where "Nick Rubs One Out" would be much hotter, or the hotel's Room Service twink that he ordered could enter the room mid-way and join him.

So, Christian LeBlanc hasn't been on the show since what, late May? Early June?

Why has he been off for so long? Performing in another play?

R43 rumor has it he had an eye infection. But after this long, something is going on. Eye infections don’t take months to heal.

R43 I know he and the husband are still going through a huge renovation-reconstruction project of their home in New Orleans that was severely damaged by Hurricane Ida (w/ lots of problems with the insurance company as well). .. And then there was another storm within the last few months (June??) that proved that the new roof that was put on was leaking. It looked like a real mess. So maybe he's trying to help out more down there.

I was just thinking we need a dose of Leanna Love. Saw her name in the credits today.

Oh, and of course, Mamie is the secret Chancellor-Winters investor.

I would give anything to have Miss Connor waltz in and say "I own 51% of this lousy company!"

Did Miss Connor already leave for boarding school?

R47 Followed by, "YAGOTTHAT?" and a sassy finger snap.

Tricia Cast is returning for some episodes. It's good because it will give Chance some family connections on the canvas.

His only other family in town is Billy Abbott, his uncle. And how many scenes have Chance and Billy had together in the past year? In the past two years?

If they do a scene with Nina and Chance, it will be the first time Tricia and Conner will have worked together. Recall, when she last appeared for the anniversary gala, she informed Cricket that Chance had decided not to come to the party by taking a work assignment so that he wouldn't have to see DuhVon and Blabby together at the party. .. Then, when Chance showed up to investigate the non-murder of Syphyllis, Nina was nowhere to be seen among the assembled guests. Her two episodes or whatever were up, so they never interacted.

r51 Yes, I recall that. When Chance finally showed up at the GCAC, Nina wasn't there.

I thought that very odd for Nina to be gone and never to have had any scenes with her son.

Dear Gawd in Heaven, I'm bored ....

This business storyline would be far more entertaining if Newman Enterprises were a McDonald's franchise that Victor has owned since the '60s.

Today, his three spoiled children incessantly argue over who's going to be Assistant Manager. Adam is always making the case that he stacks Double Quarterpounders with Cheese better than Victoria, whom he berates for never wearing her hair net. .. Big Goofball Nick is usually seen flirting with GCU coeds at the soda station. .. And none of the Newman brats want to work the drive-thru window, so Victor makes the executive decision to move 'that Sally girl' from the front counter to the window.

Meanwhile, new-hire Audra has a secret plan to move beyond the French Fries station. Suspicious Nikki wonders what Audra is doing slumming here anyway, since she used to be a Night-Shift Supervisor at a KFC in London. .. Nate is the onsite security guard whom Victor hired to keep the homeless from loitering in the dining room and parking lot. Victoria lurves a man in uniform and has messed up more than a few orders staring at Nate's butt. (For some reason, Nate's bubble butt makes Adam nervous.)

Nikki shows up after her shopping trip to the local Kohl's and is not happy with the way the restrooms look. She immediately informs Victor about the smelly situation who later blasts everyone when he finds chewing gum in a urinal.

Meanwhile, The Abbotts own the struggling 31 Flavors franchise across the street and still fret when McDonald's runs a promotion on a new McFlurry.
