Yeah, Mary. What is up with this doctor? I think she is the one with the worst bipolar disorder….she appears diabolical. (Dr. Jekyl-Mr. Hyde syndrome). Three Faces of Eve? The doctor, Sharon and Patty? LOL. Is it possible for Sharon to be experiencing a psychological pregnancy?(Pseudocyesis).
I am not liking this turn of events….all very “Noir”.

hi Mr. X.. yes!! the Newman Abbott take down virus is good 🙂 I really like it !! I like Pratt, I have always liked his work. Pratt has put a fire under Y&R, I really like most of it, but not all. ((too bad or sad that GH got the Y&R fired queens of snooze as its’ head writers. Since the firing of Jean and Shelly Y&R has greatly improved under Pratt. He has made Y&R watchable, I no longer fall asleep! lol My comment was about Adam & Chelsea, I dont like the way they are written.. Chelsea… Read more »

Pratt has been hit and miss for me. And that’s a big improvement from my opinion of him when he first started. I have yet to watch this week’s Y&R shows because I watch all 5 on the weekend so I don’t know yet what went on with Chelsea and Adam but I do sort of agree with you. He does act too much like a love sick puppy around Chelsea. Their relationship needs to progress and i’m looking forward to the coming reveal of Gabe as Adam to GC and how Chelsea handles it. I also like the intro… Read more »

Ha ha ha. Yes, a company’s assets/partners can be bought online like Ebay.

Mr. X–I agree with you about how well the dysfunctional business relationship between the Newmans and the Abbotts is being played out. This is actually somewhat compelling.
My main issue is how strong and smart women are being portrayed as passive jelly fish.

Hi, Mr. X. Marissa has always tried to protect Noah. Her ‘lie’ or omission of the truth, lol, has always been out of fear that innocent people would be hurt by the truth…..which brings me to something that really bothers me. The writers have brought in Luca, someone who really is not taking root with me. His acting is forced, not natural. But, why give someone whose character is specifically known as a Spaniard, an old Italian name, such as Santori? He looks neither Spanish nor Italian. He looks Hispanic. His family is supposedly from Spain; Victor said so. I… Read more »

Me too! This is the best this show has been in years!
You’re right about the name, it is Italian, but Y&R is not real big on technicalities. I remember when they used to actually have people on staff to make sure medical and legal issues were authentic.

This is true, Cee Cee. She knew going in who Adam was and how he’s all about seeking revenge out on her father.
She did irk me to no end when she said that Adam was a ‘bad son.” HUH? So, it’s Adam’s fault that his father is an emotionally abusive tyrant who treated Adam like he was something one wipes off one’s shoes? Despite being treated so abysmally by his own father, Adam took a bullet meant for his father.
He’s a bad son? I am so over that hypocrite Chelsea.

@Harry. Hi, Harry. There’s an Italian saying (which my husband’s mother keeps telling me)……. ” A wolf changes its fur but not its habits”. All we need do is remember from whence Chelsea hails, and who she really is. The daughter of con-artists. Case closed. It’s so unrealistic how the writers are transforming Chelsea. Sure, people change, but she has forgotten her other son, Johnny. How does a mother do that? I never understood how she did not fight for Johnny, or at least, get visitation rights. I would have fought tooth and nail to get my baby back. So,… Read more »

@Sammie Jo. Hi, Sammie Jo. If you knew my mother-in-law, a product of Italy and an OBGYN to boot, you would not call it a technicality. LOL. Italians are a proud lot, as we all are. My mother-in-law is up in arms. It’s like calling apples oranges and vice versa. Trust me, there are people ignorant enough who think Italians and Spaniards are not white. Luca Santori, is not only a very Italian name, but the guy who plays him looks nothing as an Italian or Spaniard should. You and I may not care, but the writers should be mindful… Read more »

Timm, I agree about Stitch. The guy seems to get a crush on every woman with whom he interacts. Pretty soon he’s going to fall in love with the blooming cactus plant in the hospital’s waiting room.
He’s starting to remind me of Pepe Le Pew.

Yup, Timmm. Not only is Stich a bad actor, his head reminds me of a cantaloupe. NuBilly? His acting is as vacant as his eyes.

Nope don’t do that actually I was sitting on the couch and the I pad slipped a long story I did not even hit the submit button. Did you ever see the old movie Network where the guy freaks out on TV and says I am Mad as Hell and I am not going to take it anymore. That is how I feel about Y&R Pratt and Phelps both hate women and they make them all look stupid. Ask yourself is their one woman on this show that has a brain since they took over. Nobody the old Phyllis the… Read more »

Yeah, Timmm. Michelle Stafford would have turned that box of rocks into gold!

I couldn’t believe that either, up until then, I liked Gwen, but geez, Neil KIDNAPPED someone, is obstructing justice, not to mention his thievery almost got her sister fired.
Isn’t she even slightly concerned that Neil has gone over the edge? If he would do this to someone he loved, what does she think will happen to her?
Bye Gwen

Yes, Nanci! What Neil is doing with Hilary is beyond creepy. He has been keeping her in a boat house which is built over the lake and which has chilling wind blowing through it. Bare armed and motionless, she lies there helpless and alone night after night. This is CREEPY-ASS behavior and brings back my days of childhood when I used to read Weird Comic books or read short stories by HP Lovecraft or Edgar Allan Poe. But Neil continues to act as though he’s all ethical and Gwen nods her head and basically says,”Yeah, okay–makes sense to me.” Now… Read more »

hi Mo,, the virus is corrupting the files. It is taking away and giving programs that alter data. It could change a million dollars into 10 dollars.. It seems this vitus feeds itself to grow and is running amuk in the system. It can destroy all for sure.. Any business should have their file backed up. that would mean whatever’s that are altered or destroyed the original is saved the way it was before the attack and can be uploaded to put things right, but that would take some time/involved cleaning perhaps new servers and stuff and by then the… Read more »

It’s also kind of hard to believe that little Ian Ward, a senior citizen, and most likely a Luddite, is a computer genius capable and unleashing such an intricate and destructive computer virus upon Newman Enterprise.

hi Harry..
Ian did not create the virus..
He hired a computer hacker and or genius to create it..
remember the dark haired guy with glasses at the computer, he is the creator.

Okay thanks. Still seems odd that it’s such a prob.

I also don’t understand why Victor doesn’t want Billy buying up Newman assets. Someone is going to buy it, why not Jabot. With Jabot, Newman might have a chance to recoup them. And yes, why doesn’t Newman buy the stuff back if it’s so cheap?

@Mo.
Hey, Mo.
Exactly: everything you said and more. The thing is, Mo, the writers treat us as stupid and mindless imbeciles, expecting us to accept what they put on the air without question. As far as I’m concerned, they are the idiots.
