Adam: Well, this must be the happiest day of your life.
Billy: It’s up there. You know, this has got to sting. Your plan to get rid of Locke cost you half a billion dollars, and it didn’t work. Needed your sister to come in and clean things up for you. You must be in a world of hurt. You’ve got your back up against the wall.
Adam: That’s right, I do. But you, of all people, should know that’s when I’m most dangerous. So, I probably wouldn’t push me, Billy.
****************************
Ashland: Oh. Hello, Adam.
Adam: [Clears throat] What are you doing here, Locke? You know, you have some nerve showing your face in Genoa City again.
Ashland: [Chuckles] Well, no one’s ever accused me of being timid.
Adam: Uh-huh. Well, there’s no love lost between us. So why are you chatting me up?
Ashland: You know, i understand how you Newmans always expect me to turn around and flee whenever I run into one of you. But honestly, I just — I don’t want to give you any of you that kind of satisfaction, so…
Adam: So, you came back to town to irritate us?
Ashland: No, no. I actually have a legitimate reason for being here.
Adam: Surely you can’t still be chasing after Victoria. I heard about how she worked you over. You really must be a glutton for punishment.
Ashland: No, no, no. If you must know, I — I left behind some personal belongings when Victoria and i took off for New York City, and I thought I’d stop by the house to pick them up.
Adam: Ah. Well, she may have already given them to charity.
Ashland: Hmm.
Adam: Or put them out on the curb for the trash collector. Or, hey, maybe she already had a good old-fashioned bonfire.
Ashland: I’m sure that’s exactly what’s happened. But speaking of being kicked to the curb, you must feel exactly like that now that Victoria has returned to reclaim her rightful place on the throne.

Primetime TV Review: “Generation Gap”
TV Review!
“Generation Gap” Review on ABC by Eva 7/8/2022
I am so glad summer is here because ABC has its summer game shows return to the network. The latest entry into the summer game show line up for ABC is Generation Gap. As the name implies, it highlights the gap between the older generation and the younger generation.
The object of the game is to find out how much trivia the younger generation knows about the older generation and vice versa. Kelly Rippa asks the teams trivia questions over several rounds of play and the team with the most money goes home with the cash and a special bonus prize. The teams are made up of grandparents and grandchildren or aunts and uncles with their nieces and nephews. The most fun part for me is laughing at the wrong answers that are given to the questions because you just can’t help yourself.

Primetime TV Review: “Doctor Blake Mysteries”
TV Review!
“Doctor Blake Mysteries” Review on by Eva 7/8/2022
The show comes from Australia and stars popular Australian actor Craig McLachlan an as Doctor Lucien Blake who returns home to take over his deceased father’s medical practice in the small town where he grew up.
Dr Blake has a knack for solving murders with his second job as police surgeon. Dr. Blake does autopsies and takes care of the police force members when they are injured. Dr. Blake has help from his housekeeper Jean (Nadine Garner), her nephew Danny (Rick Donald) a young constable and District Nurse Mattie O’Brien (Cate Wolfe). The show is set in1959.
The mysteries aren’t as Interesting as the way Doctor Blake solves the mysteries using his medical knowledge and re-enacting the crime. The show keeps you guessing until the end. Doctor Blake also has trauma from his time as a POW during World War II.
The episodes start out slowly but once they get going you wonder who killed the victim and it is never the person you suspect which is the fun part for mystery fans.
The show will air four episodes back-to-back starting at 8AM Eastern time on July 7, 2022. The show will begin airing season 2 on July 21, 2022 at 11AM Eastern time.
I think that if you enjoy mysteries you will enjoy watching this show. Even though the episodes begin slowly, stick with it you won’t regret it. I give this show a 4 out of 5 stars.

Chloe: Hey Sally. Well, nothing was happening until you showed up, and I mean that on five different levels.
Sally: I’d like to take that as a good thing.
Chloe: Oh, it’s great.
Sally: What are you doing?
Chloe: Oh, I’m just having a business meeting with my partner. Can’t you see?
Sally: Is Chelsea late?
Chloe: Yeah, or possibly forgot the whole thing or just chose not to show up.
Sally: I see.
Chloe: Please, please sit down and join me.
Sally: Oh.
Chloe: Um, yeah, I just wanted to congratulate you on your new gig. Thank you. I mean, taking over as CEO at Newman Media — that is a big job. But I know you can do it.
Sally: Thanks, Chloe. Coming from you, that means a lot.
***********************
Victoria: handle the articles of incorporation. We need to be official if we’re gonna make an offer on the place.
Ashland: Agreed.
Victoria: Uh, also — oh, gosh — in order to file the paperwork, we’re gonna need a name, and we haven’t even thought of anything yet.
Ashland: Okay, how about “anything but Newman” incorporated?
Victoria: Ooh, catchy! But I think — honestly, I think we should leave our names out of it.
Ashland: I like “catchy.” How about Catchy Media?
Victoria: My goodness. I thought you would be better at this. Your previous corporation was named after a 3,000-year-old Babylonian king.
Ashland: Excuse me. I had months to come up with that, not five minutes.
Victoria: Okay, fine. What was that phrase that you used about the building?
Ashland: “Save millions.”
Victoria: [Laughs] No. “Hand of destiny.”
Ashland: “Destiny.” Destiny Media. I love that. And I love you.

Phyllis: Hey Derek, can you do me a favor? Um, and get housekeeping on this right away. Half a bottle of wine and dirty glasses are outside my suite. I don’t want it there. Hard night for someone. I don’t know who left it there. I don’t know. I don’t know. But could you get rid of it? Thanks.
Amanda: Well, hello. So, you run out of town, you leave us in the lurch for the Chancellor-Winters launch party, and then, worst of all, you don’t call, you don’t text.
Phyllis: I know. I’m the worst. Hi.
Amanda: Welcome home.

Phyllis: I’m okay.
Summer: No, you’re not.
Phyllis: Yeah, I’m fine Summer. I’m fine. You know what? I want to ask you a question. The job you offered me at Marchetti — is that the same one that Diane’s doing?
Summer: Mom, no, not even close. I wanted you to be my head of marketing. What we offered Diane is a junior-level P.R. Gig. Look, it was Kyle’s idea, and i only agreed to it because I’m here to support Kyle, just like you are here to support me, right?
Phyllis: Yeah. Right. I will support you. I will support you because i love you. Yeah.

Victoria: You deserve an explanation.
Billy: I agree. Thank you.
Victoria: And, honestly, i think that you deserve the truth, as well. The truth is that I had no intention of reconciling with Ashland at all.
Billy: Well, I was hoping that was the case, but why didn’t you just tell me the plan? You know that you can trust me.
Victoria: Is it really a mystery why I wouldn’t want “the grinning soul” to do an entire podcast on clever women who flip the script on their devious and manipulative husbands?
Billy: I’m glad that you are safe and sound and single. You are single, aren’t you?
Victoria: That’s right. I want nothing more to do with Ashland.
****************************
Ashland: Yeah. No, no, no. No need. We’ve had many successes in the past. Peru is not one of them, but you can’t knock it out of the park every time, can you? Although I did think the task was relatively simple — to keep Michael Baldwin down there, to get him thrown in jail, keep him there while I control the narrative here. But it was not meant to be. I still don’t quite understand what went wrong. Perhaps there was some unforeseen exigencies we hadn’t planned for. Or maybe he’s just smarter than we are. I don’t know.
Stannis: I —
Ashland: As I said, no need to explain. But this job I’m offering you right here and right now… will give you a chance to redeem yourself.
Stannis: I assume the target is still Michael Baldwin?
Ashland: Oh, god, no. Let’s not bite off more than we can chew. I can’t expect you to keep up with a wily, third-rate lawyer. No, no, no. This time, the target will be much more manageable, hmm?

Diane: Oh, yes, I did. And now that I know I’m welcome, I’ll be sure and stop by on a more regular basis.
Phyllis: Well, we’re happy to have you. No need to thank me.
Diane: Thank you for what?

Allie: Okay, well, Noah and I — we — we’re hanging out. But that’s all. From tomorrow on, I am gonna be focusing strictly on work.
Jack: Well, I certainly hope not. I hope you’re gonna have some fun, too. Look, I’m sure you’re gonna be a great intern, hardworking and all that, but I don’t want you locked away in a lab. The sun is out. It’s summer. You should be having fun. God knows I did when I was your age.
Allie: Okay, again, this feels like a conversation you shouldn’t be having with your granddaughter.
Jack: Okay, okay. I’ll respect your boundaries. All I’m saying is, if having fun means spending time with Noah or with your friends, I am all for it. For what it’s worth, I think Noah’s a good guy. And I know what you’ve been through, and it makes me happy to see you smile.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, i realize it’s a holiday weekend. I realize that. So, let’s look at this as — i don’t know — a challenge as opposed to a setback. So, this is what you need to do. You need to e-mail our regular spa clients, and you need to tell them about our state-of-the-art equipment, alright? I spent a lot of money on this stuff, and if we don’t get people in there, well, you’re not gonna have much of a staff left. Exactly. Inspirational. I like that. That was inspirational. I got to get back to you. Hey, Diane. You need a bell around your neck.
[Clears throat] What can I help you with?
Diane: Well, I’m so glad you asked. In light of our recent truce, i thought it’d be wonderful if i could go back to having full access of your top-of-the-line gym and spa.
Phyllis: Why? I hear that the athletic club has more than adequate equipment for, you know, the average guest.
Diane: [Sighs] We can be honest with each other, can’t we, now that we’re family? Your equipment is a cut above, and Astrid’s massages have made a new woman out of me.
Phyllis: Um… I can’t help you. I’m really sorry. We have an agreement with the athletic club that they don’t poach our clients, we don’t poach theirs. Besides, we are all booked up.
Diane: Oh. Huh. Funny you should say that because I could have sworn i just heard you complaining that you were desperate for customers.
Phyllis: I was not saying that, that I was a desperate for customers. I just — you misunderstood. Diane, we have the right to refuse service to anyone.
Diane: [Scoffs] You don’t have any grounds to do that where I’m concerned. I’m wearing shoes, I’m not drunk, and I’m certainly not being disruptive.
Phyllis: Um, you were escorted off the premises before.
Diane: Oh, but, Phyllis, that was back when we were bitter rivals. If that ban still holds, then that means our truce isn’t really real. I would hate to think our détente was just on paper, and i know other people would be disappointed, too

Billy: Ooh! You’re a listener. Hot damn. I’m gonna have to tell the team. They’re gonna be ecstatic about that. Now, personally, I’m more interested in this dramatic family discussion that we’re having. Have we heard from Victoria?
Nikki: The answer is no. None of us have spoken to her today.
Billy: But you know something? Don’t try to deny it because I know that I’m right. You know, I wasn’t exactly thrilled about the concept of having a conversation with Johnny and Katie about why their parents are living so far apart. However, I am thrilled for Victoria that she’s finally breaking free and walking away from the man that’s been pulling at her strings since she was in diapers. It’s a shock to the system, huh, pops?

You and I will not be forming a new corporation together. And this move to New York was not about starting a new life with you. It was a calculated move to cut ties with you and to end your connection with me and my family for good. You know, you did everything exactly as I hoped you would do. You agreed to invest your own money, and you transferred what was left of the $500 million that my father gave you into the corporate account that I created. By the way, I have since drained that account, and now you have exactly what you deserve. Nothing. So maybe now you have a clearer understanding of exactly who I am… and what you’re dealing with
