I love Victoria and Kyle together. This bad boy version is much sexier and appealing than when he was with Claire. I have always felt that way when he was with her. Kyle’s character doesn’t suit being all lovey-dovey and sappy too much. He is much more attractive when he has some swagger and game like he does with Victoria. I really enjoyed their scene together in the office and the background music that the show plays as it is leading up to them being intimate. That music adds a lot to the scene. I agree with Ali that we… Read more »

I find it hilarious when Victor says he won’t let Billy get his grubby fingers on Chancellor. I also find it funny whenever Victor tells someone that it warms the cockles of his heart…lol… He said this to Jack when Jack went to speak to him about being Nick’s sponsor and the reasons why Victor should not stand in his way. Victor always knows the right thing to say to push people’s buttons when they are trying to have a serious conversation with him. Just recently, he told Phyllis that he built the company from the ground up and that… Read more »
Excuse me, Lilly. Who are you now? Why would Billy, with enough evidence to prove his point, such that you went around him to attempt to pay the past debt….have to prove himself to you, or you just won’t give it up. I say again, “Just who are you?” You have no right, no business, no connection to this company. You are just bossy and a business bully.
A terrifying health scare for Sally in the preview. One hopes that Billy steps up, puts her health first, and leaves the war over Chancellor for the ever-present Audra to fight on his behalf.
Meanwhile, Audra’s sixth sense is right again. Previously, I did suggest a new podcast: Dear Audra!
Victor gaslighting Phyllis? Has he really forgotten what it’s like to face her complete ferocity?
A quick reminder: Victor once replaced Jack entirely—hiring Marco Annicelli, a Peruvian drug lord, to take over Jabot, sleep with Phyllis, and run her life for months while the real Jack was held captive on a cargo ship.
That didn’t work out so well for him. At his age, Victor’s next prison spell may well be his final resting place.
How many resorts in Tahiti don’t have a restaurant, room service, or even an ocean view? Who flies halfway across the Pacific on a private jet only to end up in a room worthy of Marie on a bender? Choices abound in paradise—the InterContinental, the Hilton, the Pearl Beach Resort. Even the budget-friendly Royal Tahitien sits right on the water and serves three meals a day! Sure, it had hot water and Jack made the absolute best of a bad situation while Diane proved her devotion. But if Jack deliberately picked an out-of-the-way motel with no amenities just to guarantee… Read more »
On reflection, a production budget friendly scene for the missing ocean view.
Not even a green screen—just a quick Google search for stock footage! Picture licenced surf washing up to two abandoned bathing suits and towels on a beach. The sound of waves together with yelps as offscreen Peter Bergman and Susan Walters splash each other from the studio sink.
Back in the budget-friendly room. Jack and Diane arrive together wrapped in a single extra large Contiki Yachts™ towel, sandy, barefoot. Dropping the towel, Jack picks up the phone to the front desk: “Yes, hello—do you happen to sell beachwear? Or know where we might purchase some?” Diane, still partially towelled, arms folded: “I can’t believe you let our suits wash out into the Pacific.” …. The return to GC scene writes itself. Kyle is at the desk when Jack and Diane walk in, tanned, relaxed, and laughing. Kyle: “Welcome back! Good trip?” Jack: “The hotel was not exactly what… Read more »

When Lily proposed giving Billy the company if he made a successful pitch, I was reminded of the song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” Why would the devil—or in this case, Lily—be a fair judge? Yet just like in the song, it looks like our hero won. We’ll see…
Now that they have promised to keep the sofa a secret, who will gush first: Kyle or Victoria? My money is on Victoria gushing first, without a doubt! She can never resist dropping a smug hint when she thinks she’s pulled off a power move. Kyle won’t need to say a word—he’ll just sit behind Jack’s desk with that classic self-satisfied smirk every time anyone looks at the furniture. Sitting across from that very sofa will make every business meeting an absolute minefield of hidden context. Though when Jack gets back from vacation, explaining the missing prophylactic in the desk… Read more »

Kyle better call maintenance to check out the A/C in the Abbot CEO office. It must be getting hot! Kyle rolling up his sleeves while Victoria fanned her jacket before taking it off. And then so much more! Runaway train! (Victoria looked stuffed into that couch in that overhead shot. Shoulders forward, wedged in between the cushions and Kyle’s well maintained torso.) Well, it may not be an affair, but it is a secrete and forbidden attraction. This is going to be fun. Sneaking around, close calls, and then finally Claire walking in during! Quote of the day” On second… Read more »

Ali: I’m getting logged out from the site every day. Is it a new security measure?
Their scene reminds me that I do actually like Victor at times. He gave Nick the perfect pep talk emphatically reminding Nick that Newman blood flows in his veins! Nobody has more strength than Victor and Nick can claim that strength to move forward.

Granted it’s been 35 years since college, but doesn’t the plan for Jabot and Newman Enterprises to work together (in the same industry) represent illegal collusion?

The playfulness of Kyle and Victoria is very appealing. These actors seem very comfortable with each other and can tease well. Victoria was suggestive with her reference to Kyle’s sunscreen social media stunt. If Kyle wasn’t sure if Victoria was interested before, he knows she is now. Even Jack and Diane were picking up the vibes. Won’t be long now till Kyle is reenacting his “birthday suit” stunt. Instead of a pool, he’ll dive into a comfy bed of Victoria’s choosing.

What in the world is Diane doing wearing a maternity outfit from the ‘50’s and a sweater backwards over the shoulders??
Crazy design to figure out…I think it was a color block shell with a some kind of one sided straight jacket flap or apron with ties that draped over the opposite shoulder and tied in the back. Black and white color blocking is my favorite combo but, I’ll pass on this confusion.

Ali: I’m getting logged out from the site every day. Is it a new security measure?
I’ve never not gotten logged out, for what it’s worth.
Really? No. Not at all. Is it still happening? And for anyone else? Could be a security update within your browser?
I loved Victor’s vulnerability with Nick: “There but for the grace of God go I.” That’s a stunning admission of humility.
