The Gospel Accoring to Paul

"On the patio, Paul agrees to look into Skye's disappearance for Heather, then updates the Louisiana police department found a car reported stolen in GC - with a suit stuffed in the trunk. Was Walter wearing a dark blue suit by any chance? He was - but Heather fears he could be anywhere in the world by now."

OMG! If it's a dark blue suit then the car MUST BE Walter's! Oy. Could the writer's be any sloppier? This is almost as bad as Paul surmising David's actions and everyone taking it as gospel.


"Heather wonders if she should call her old boss, Dennis Elroy - there could be more murders Chow's responsible for. He could meet us here. Paul agrees - good thinking - but meet with him alone - and show him you have what it takes to bust a case wide open."


Sitting back and letting Daddy do your work is NOT having what it takes to "bust a case wide open." Fact of the matter is, Heather just sat there looking at the picture of Walter wondering who he was, and she never once solved a case for the DA's office.


let's spot the inconsistencies!

When did Paul become judge and jury? Because he THINKS Chow killed JiMin and planted evidence to frame Victor and Jack, it’s an automatic fact now? And what gives with the cop giving him all the information on the case, as well as JT, simply because Paul’s old man USED to be a cop? Heather shows up to assure Jabot isn’t liable when the police haven’t even done their report yet? WTH? If anyone was liable, wouldn't it be the limo company? Then Heather and Paul are allowed to trample all through a “designated crime scene”? Do the initials O.J. ring a bell to anyone?

Katherine said Jill sent fear and chaos through Jabot’s “highest corporate level”? Um, hello? Aren’t Katherine and Jill and Nikki Jabot’s “highest corporate level”?

If Chloe only slept with Cane a week or so ago, how could she even be a candidate for an ultrasound this early?

The writers have got to get Glo and Jeff OUT of the pool house. Surely they can afford to remodel so it doesn’t look like the same set. Having them live there is like expecting us to believe Candy Spelling would live in a Motel 6.

Victoria just HAD to apologize to Sabrina, then she gets in there and starts talking about the old days of their friendship. She knows Sabrina is dying, but doesn’t bother to say, “I love you,” or “I’m sorry I misjudged you" when she leaves. This is probably setting us up for weeks of “why didn’t I apologize when I had the chance?!” angst.

While the show is more interesting, I’m not sure if it’s the stories that are more interesting or pointing out all of the inconsistencies in the writer’s sloppy work that’s got me happy.

M.I.A.

Where is Jana in all of this accident mess? Shouldn't she be at the hospital kissing Sabrina's ass?

i'm a ramblin' (wo)man

Tons of thoughts on today's show....

When did Michael go from lawyer to lapdog? “Call the doctors!” “Find out why Sabrina was in Chow’s limo!” “Get me a dialysis machine!” And when did Neil go from CEO to PI? “Go to New York and find my friend Skye.” Yes, because I’m sure Neil knows so much about this friend he never met.

I love how Nikki had a “deadly dose of morphine” in her, yet it didn’t kill her even though JT took her to his house while Paul regaled her with tales of how he went all PI on David’s ass.

Paul is going to tell the police Nikki was drugged? They’re going to take his word? Why aren’t they doing their own investigation? They haven’t even questioned her or anyone else involved.

Why do I know Jack is going to end up publishing those “disgusting” photos he hopes no one ever has to see?

The hospital can tell Jill they brought Nikki in but they can’t tell her she was released?

Why would there be a story about Skye’s disappearance in Genoa City’s paper?

Kudos to Nick for uttering the DUMBEST LINE OF THE YEAR: “If anyone can convince God to save Sabrina, it’s that man in there.”

Second DUMBEST LINE OF THE YEAR: “Victor prides himself on being the consummate businessman. Never make a business decision based on emotion.” That’s all that idiot ever does! He gets pissed at someone and gets revenge via business venues.

JR. doesn’t even go to the hospital when his father’s wife is in critical condition? And Victor thinks Nick is a prick?! I LOVED it when Neil told Adam HE’D be running things. LOL!! Victor is a TOTAL PIG being soooo nice to Adam when Neil had to tell the idiot to come to the hospital in the first place. Then to say his support meant a lot in front of Nick was downright cruel.

Why would anyone want OLD copies of RS?

Sabrina to Vic: “I know how badly you wanted to be a father.” Yes, you can never have too many kids to ignore.

Jill to Brad: “This company is facing the biggest crisis it has ever known.” Really? What about the tainted cream?
Looooove that Jill handed Brad his ass back on a silver platter. Hopefully, when they find Skye’s phone, the message Brad left will seal his fate and get him booted from the company completely.

Katherine knows that Victor had his vasectomy reversed but his ex-wife doesn’t?! Why in the world would he divulge that to her? Wonder what that conversation was like?
K: “Would you like some coffee, Old Friend?”
V: “No, but I would like some ice for my balls. You got that?! Well, I’ll be damned, I just had my vasectomy reversed. You know, now that I’m not involved with anyone. BTW, I built Newman Enterprises from the ground up!”

You just know that Victor is going to blame Nikki for this whole mess. I can hear him now: “If you hadn’t brought this man into our lives this never would have happened! I told you he was no good! I’ll never forgive you! You got that?!” Victor always talks in exclamation points…LOL.

returning to the scene of the crime

Heather goes BACK to her job at the district attorney's office?!

Why? Because she did such a bang up job solving all those cases? And when I say, "all those," I mean NONE of her cases.

mystery solved

All this time no one could solve the JiMin murder mystery and Paul solves it in one hour while at his office aka the coffee shop? Puhleeze. (Can you say "tying up LML's loose ends, kids?) I love how he works out of the Athletic Club or the coffee shop. He doesn't even have a secretary anymore. Just a briefcase and the determination to solve crimes....LOL. Nah, I'm kidding. Just the briefcase.

mi casa is not su casa

Only on the soaps do people begin packing BEFORE they have a place to live.

And it's about time Nick moved out of the ticky tack(y) house. Yet another thing that annoys me about the soaps. We're expected to believe TGVN can't afford to build a house for his kids--or more importantly, that they can't afford to build their own damn house--so he has to remodel the ticky tack(y) house. These kids all talk about how they want to be independent and they live with Daddy or on Daddy's ground. BTW, why didn't Vic evict Victoria and her brood?

Even that loser Jack Abbott was still living with Daddy because he was too immature to live on his own. Evidence the way he thought it was the end of the world when Glo got the house, INSTEAD of seeing it as a great opportunity to move into a new house with his new family.

(do NOT) sing, sing a song

I don't know whether this kid annoys me so much because there's nothing special about her voice and yet the writers are trying to convince us there is OR because I'm sick of the writers pulling this bullshit. If the kid wants to sing, put her on American Idol, NOT a soap opera.

Thank GOD for the ff button.....


write right will ya

I think one of the most disappointing writing tricks the writers use on this soap is dropping something lifechanging on us in one episode.

Anybody ever remember Kevin talking about his love of computers before his mother wanted him to do all sorts of dirty dealings on it?

Anybody ever remember Jana talking about good karma and fate when she was plotting to kill Colleen and Kevin for the art $?

Anybody ever remember Daniel talking about his love of photography before Restless Style? Hell, I never even saw him snap a cell phone picture.

And most recently, anybody ever remember Daniel talking about his love of sketching? SKETCHING?! When he came back from tour with his dad and handed Amber the sketchbook and said, "Look I sketched the trip for you," I thought, "WTH happened to your love of photography?!"s

The LEAST the writers could do is take a few shows to lay the groundwork for this sort of stuff, instead of dumping it on us out of sheer laziness.

are you KIDDING me with that 'house'?!

Observe. This is the living room used in the 1960's Dick Van Dyke show. Check out that gawd awful brick living room wall....



















It's like a horrible case of deja vu....
If Cane was my rich bastard bf and he showed me a house that looks like it hasn't seen an update in 40+ years, I'd run as far and as fast as I could. YUCK.
That place screams"OLDSTERS". The kitchen screams "$20 a night motel." It's drab and boooooring.

it is soooooooooo not cool of the writers

to be shoving this kid down our throats!!!!!!

"Vikki and JT stop by with Reed - and are on their way to Indigo to hear Ana - who JT thinks should sing at the gala."

bye bye Raya

Raya Meddine has been let go from The Young and The Restless. Apparently, Raya signed a three year deal, but the character never caught on.

Coming next week.....looks good! But ENOUGH of the "change forever" garbage.




I never saw this July promo before.



I can almost see Victor walking around crying and mourning the death of Sabrina....with his hands in his pockets. You got that?!

oh gawd...

Check out one of the latest spoilers from Y&R:

Amber and Daniel seek help from Dr. Drew and Stryker of Loveline radio talk show

Oy. Hey, maybe one of them will end up in Dr. Drew's Celeb Rehab....LOL!

i'm restless

Did you know there really IS a Restless Style online magazine?

If you click the link that says "Restless Sirens," you'll see that Amelia Heinle is a dead ringer for a young Liz Taylor. I think the Liz Taylor pic is much, much prettier than the one they used on the cover.

If you click the second page of that same box, you can read the article Adrian wrote about Sabrina.

Very cool.

Friday, July 18, 2008

FINALLY sounds like things might be getting good!

Watch for David Chow to continue to spiral out of control. Will he self-destruct, or will Paul and Heather out him as Ji Min's killer? Or both?! It appears that David will also be part of a very tragic incident which occurs at the Charity Ball, and which involves a character who is very dear to the heart of David's nemesis - Victor Newman.

Paul finds information linking Chow to the mob.

David Chow winds up dead, from a car crash. Word has it another GC resident is out. Is this true? Who is it that flat lines, other than David? Sabrina?

Guess this will leave things wide open for Nikki and Victor to comfort each other. Once Chow dies, I bet we'll find he's responsible for everything that happened in GC since LML came on board...LOL! Hey, somebody has to wrap up all her damn loose storyends.

the young and the stupid

Is Sharon's brain filled with straw or what? She's pissed at Jack because he keeps making promises to change that he never keeps and Sharon's ok with the fact that he says, ok, I just won't make any more promises?! NOT ok I'll really change this time?!

Why would Indigo need a new alarm system when the club just opened last year? Kinda backasswards logic like when Nick remodeled the whole warehouse, THEN got it rewired.

I hate it when soaps pimp music careers on their show. The minute I see that kid open her mouth, I turn off the sound. Get your ass on American Idol if you want to sing all the time. It doesn't belong on a soap.

i believe the world is coming to an end

Since when does Restless Style have “hundreds of employees” as per Jack’s comment? We see at the most about ten other people besides the Not So Fab Four. I noticed another receptionist sitting in Amber’s seat today. I guess they need a receptionist that actually does some work.

When did Victoria talk to Adrian and give him all those quotes Jack used in the article? Quotes that sounded more like stuff she told her dad, stuff that Jack could not know. I must have missed that part.

I loved the way Victor told Sabrina to go to the charity ball luncheon and “anybody looks at you sideways, you spit them in the eye.” Great way to raise funds…spitting at the potential donors.

some spoilers

Victor warns Phyllis and Sharon that he will have his revenge

Paul catches David in a lie

Chloe convinces the partners to hire her at Restless Styles--I can't STAND this character. They need to dump her. She adds nothing to the show, except the stench of desperation.

Victor cuts Nick and Adam out of his Will--whoopee. We all know TGVN is nothing more than a bully. Besides, none of these kids will be speaking to him by the time he croaks anyway.

Nikki tells David that she bought them a house --could she BE any dumber?!

J.T. is blown away by Ana's voice --ANOTHER character I cant' stand. Obnoxious little brat and why do the writers insist in trying to convince us that Devon and this kid are close when this is the first we've seen/heard of them?! We ain't buyin' it.

Paul discovers that David is living under a false identity.

Monday, July 14, 2008

makes perfect sense...which is why they're not doing it

If the Restless Style web zine is doing so well and the print mag is tanking, why don't they scrap the print mag all together and focus on the web zine?

I wonder if Skye is going to turn up dead? Love the way she blabbed about something secret right out in public....

Friday, July 11, 2008

you would think....

That when a man has a vasectomy and his wife tells him she's pregnant, that he'd be a tad curious as to how that happens?

Instead, The Great Victor Newman is thrilled and doesn't even PONDER the fact that he shouldn't have been able to get Sabrina preggers at all. Unless he's been lying all this time...

to the victor goes the spoil(er)s!

Here are some good spoiler sites for The Young and The Restless:

Toni lives in Canada, I believe, and she posts a complete spoiler of the next day's show. She does a great job.

This site used to have a whole week's worth of spoilers, but now it's a day or two at a time. Some of their spoilers are just the preview stuff they show at the end of the program. Still worth the read because from time to time--like now--they list a whole bunch of upcoming stuff.

Soaptown USA has another good site for spoilers.

speculation

Rumor has it that Sabrina and child will die in a car accident. I wonder if this is the same murder David Chow is going to pull off? Especially since I also heard Chow is leaving the show. Oh, happy day.

I still think Chow is working for the senator that Jack and Victor brought down. Rest assured, when he goes out, Chow will be blamed for every storyline that wasn't tied up, like the jet sabotage.

accentuating the negative

Phyllis' job is to "save a failing magazine". Geez, issue two and how many times have we heard this piece o'crap rag is in trouble?

I don't know who the actor is that played Philippe, but he sounded more Australian than French. At least Sabrina has a true accent. This dude falls in and out of his accent with every sentence and at times, I expected him to go "ghetto" on us.

Wednesday, July 9, 2008

oh baby

Why is Lily the least bit surprised that Chloe claims to have slept with Cane? She's known all along that Chloe is after him and yet she continues to work with her and keep her around. D.U.M.B.

And what's up with Christel Khalil's acting? No screaming, no devestated crying when she found out the truth? Come on. The man of her dreams supposedly slept with another woman.

I sooooo dislike Tyra's kid. I don't think either of them add anything to the show at this point. The kid is more annoying than endearing.

she's purdy


I think Adrianne Frantz is one of the prettiest women on daytime. She has a great voice, too. Reminds me of Gwen Stefani. But $18 for a CD? No thanks.

who writes this SHIT?!

I don't know who is writing dialogue for Victor Newman, but they seriously need to get their heads out of their asses. "I know your marriage is in trouble and I know your husband is a gambler. You're being naive. I'm seriously suggesting you don't see that man ever again. I am telling you he's a dangerous man, a very dangerous man. You're playing with fire and you don't even know it. You have a nice day."
WTF?!
You drop a bomb on your ex and you end it with, "Have a nice day"?! That dialogue is almost as trite as "You got that?" and "well, I'll be damned".

















Must have been that asinine "have a nice day" goodbye that left Nikki speechless, too.


the blind(er) leading the blind

If Jamie is this "in the know" fashion maven, why hasn't she figured out she's much too old to wear that dark red hair, and it's much too long for a woman her age? Hmmm......physician heal thyself!

you're gonna make it after all


What's with Jana's Mary Tyler Moore do?! Quick! Somebody tell her this is 2008....

why is it that....

These two don't bother me....
















But these two sicken me?

here comes the slut

IF Chloe really is pregnant, then she's already preggers.

And how in the world could Cane get it up long enough to get her pregnant when he couldn't even STAND up?

good old Jack

Nice to see Jack is running true to form with the women in his life. He pursued Phyllis and when he got her, he treated her like crap, totally disregarding her feelings.

Now he's doing the same thing with Sharon. This whole "taking care of step-mommy dearest" thing is nothing more than soothing his guilty conscience. But enough is enough. Obviously it's upsetting his wife, whose feelings seem to mean nothing to Jack. No guilty conscience about keeping the wife happy. He's making business decisions behind everyone's back and playing dirty. Yep, true to form. I blame Nick and Phyllis, too, for being stupid enough to think they could all work well together. Dumb squared.

Sharon will leave and suddenly Jack will devote all of his attention to getting her back. Juuuust like he did with Phyllis. Thankfully, she was smart enough to avoid going down that road again.

the young and the delusional

Just when I think Nikki can't get any dumber relationship wise, she lets a known gambler keep his CEO job with Jabot. Why doesn't she just give him a blank check and be done with it? As if BEGGING him to stay with her wasn't humiliating enough. When a guy tells you he's not good enough for you, BELIEVE HIM.

Wow, isn't Victor quite the loving daddy? "Don't ever forget who I am and don't ever forget who you are or you'll be sorry." What a sweet thing to tell your son. Guess Vic Jr. is finally getting a taste of what the old man is really like. Wait till Sabrina gets her turn. Jr. seriously needs to move out, and get himself a life. And I love how Victor has told Jr. that Heather was trying to frame him for JiMin's murder about ten times now. You got that?!

Why is Cane suddenly in charge of the fashion side of Jabot? Wasn't he hired in construction? It always amazes me how people on the soaps just snag great jobs with absolutely no experience whatsoever.
After a drunk induced rolling in the sheets with Adrian, that ever so classy Amber didn't even bother to go home and change out of her bathing suit.

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

no shit, sherlock

AHA! I knew Chow killed JiMin. He was just too sleazy, which is probably why I can’t stand him.

Love the way Heather considered having the wrong name on a contract a “minor” error. And she’s suddenly determined to solve the JiMin thing when she never had ability to do it when she was the D.A.? I also love how she made the leap from Jill’s bad mood to “Jill’s pissed I didn’t solve the JiMin thing” especially when Victoria TOLD her Jill was reaming out everyone. I thought it was hilarious when Heather told Paul she used to look at cold case files, but never solved any. LOL. That’s typical of her entire tenure as D.A. And what’s with Heather doing the cold case stuff on Jabot company time? “If there is a way to find out who killed JiMin, I will find him. And I will find him on the company dime, if it’s the last thing I do.”

Quick! Someone call 911! Jana’s lips are stuck to Sabrina’s ass and will require an immediate surgical removal! BTW, marrying Victor Newman doesn’t automatically make HIS family YOUR family.

Amelia Heline is looking really good lately.
