thoughts for this week Young & Restless in 3.2,…

Good looking

Deacon Sharpe walks over Young & Restless Meeting Nikki made for some of my favorite scenes from the last five days, not to mention the flashbacks that were pure gold. Deacon was at his best and tried his best to charm Nikki, who had none of it. The two fell back into their old rhythm seamlessly and I can’t wait to see more. What will he give her at the restaurant? Assumptions?

Don’t blink…

I was ready for Kyle and Summer to make a shocking discovery last week, per spoiler, and I still don’t know what it was – that their moms might have been fighting? Not even surprising, let alone shocking. We had speculated that they might find out their marriage wasn’t legal in Italy, which might not have been a big deal but would have been a nice twist since they would have gotten legally married in front of family and friends. The fact that it’s unclear what shocking discovery they made actually made is a perfect illustration of the show lacking momentum.

point fingers

Speaking of moms, Phyllis and Diane have gone back to being teenagers, so Kyle and Summer may have had to take on a parenting role with them. It’s not the most attractive way, I’d rather see the women being sneaky. What does Work is the more subtle back and forth between Susan Walters and Michelle Stafford in their scenes. The rolling of the eyes, the knowing “Sure, Jan” looks when the other is talking… I can’t get enough of that.

As for the incident that got her fired, Soaps’ Charlie Mason thought Phyllis crossed a line when she pushed Diane’s buttons to the point where she erupted, but she did Diana which Phyllis accused of placing a file on her computer (loose end btw) which arguably triggered the button press. Kyle’s mom may be trying to turn a new leaf, but she’s still Diane (as evidenced by showing her “true colors”) and we can’t forget that Phyllis, along with Nikki, sees her as a significant and imminent threat. I definitely think this is one of those soap operas where the person no one will listen to finally proved them right all along.

That was embarrassing

Once Allie suggested the idea of ​​Phyllis and Diane coming to the party for Kyle and Summer at different times, you knew it would backfire. How embarrassing when Phyllis walked in to see everyone there. Getting emotional, Diane rolled her eyes, and when Phyllis pulled herself together and got up to make a toast, her nemesis murmured, “Let’s go.” Loved it.

The truth is, Phyllis may have cried over what became of her beloved hotel. I thought Noah would open an art-inspired nightclub. I saw exactly a pillow there was something about it that might pass as art. Tessa and Mariah’s wedding in the ’70s was cheesy and fun, but designing a bar on the same theme was ill-advised. The good news? It could definitely work as a shisha lounge.

Getting back to Diane, spoilers tell us she’s set to make a bold move next week that will likely involve an attempt to get closer to Jack. She’ll want him on her side as some sort of imminent threat is looming (if her reaction to the latest mysterious message is anything to assume). That brings us to…

Secret revealed?

My guess is that Diane’s mysterious lyricist heading to Genoa City is Tucker McCall in the form of Trevor St. John. While age doesn’t make sense for the actor to be in this role, it’s possible for the character to be aged a bit for it to work. The clues seem to lead to this conclusion. Diane has a prior connection to him and St. John’s arrival date has just been announced as September 28th. In the preview, we see Diane confronting someone in her suite. Future spoilers also support the theory of a McCall return: SOD teased in the Fall Preview that Ashley had a reason to return to GC and stay (they have a romantic history), Victor is said to face a former rival (who is Tucker), and Devon brings a familiar face to the herd (his father?).

The last we heard from McCall was that he was living in an ashram, had discarded his material possessions and Devon was warned that employees were siphoning off profits from his father’s company. So has Tucker recovered? Is he the rich guy Deacon saw Diane driving around Los Angeles in a Bentley? We’ll find out soon!

Out of control

Nate is so out of joint! Nate, the doctor, was always on the straight and narrow, to the point where he was a little to buttoned up and now he’s done a total of 180 for no reason. While I think he will regret making a deal with Victoria, this is the most interesting thing he has ever experienced and Sean Dominic makes the story work in a great way. Viewers noticed Nate and Imani hugging this week, but wondered why a dramatic beat wasn’t played. Young & Restlessthe land of missed opportunities!

What was the point of letting Imani and Nate hug and not Elena walking in and seeing? #YR Don’t make drama so forget it 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 #NateTheSnake #FreeElena

Newcomer Audra Charles eventually showed up and turned out to be the pro tagged by Jill to help with the IPO. I have questions. who is Chancellor Winters running? I thought Jill would return to an advisory position, but instead she’s steamrolling her idea through. Too weird. Back to Audra, she’s interacting with Nate, whose relationship with Elena is on the rocks, but Imani is already waiting in the wings… could Audra be for someone else… maybe Adam?

Put that in your pipe…

Speaking of Adam, he’s determined to find out the truth about whether or not Sally and Nick are sleeping together, and I can’t really blame him. It may have come about through his mistake, but yes, you would still want to know. After Sally refused the date and told him he was awful that he even thought it, wait for Adam to confront Nick for the second time this week. I can absolutely imagine Nick telling Adam they’re having sex. Part of him will want him to know. Adam can then toss this onto his Family Betrayal stack and we’ll see how it goes. Back to the dark side? It’s a definite possibility. With all of that, this triangle really works as there is pull on both sides.

Bad feeling

Well, Chelsea got her wish this week when her harassment finally paid off and Victoria agreed to tell Johnny the truth. I don’t feel the emotional involvement in it that I probably should… maybe because we rarely see the kids or because Victoria is a mother? Anyway, I have a feeling something’s going to go wrong. anyone else?
