home sweet home

Kevin found the plans to Jack's house online? How likely is that? And why does he even need them? Didn't he live there for MONTHS when Mommy Dearest was married to John?

tuesdays rant

Amber is an annoying PITA. If God spoke to her in a dream and told her she had designing talent, she’d probably think that was true, too. And after seeing that jacket, we all know that ain’t true.

How is it that none of the women on Y&R have close female friends that they can ask to be in their wedding?

I love how one person becomes “crazies coming out of the woodwork” to Jill. Lord love a drama queen.

Olivia turned out to be a great friend to Karen, didn’t she? What in the world she thinks Neil and Tyra have in common is beyond me. I don’t think he has chemistry with either one of them.

family matters

Why in the world does TGVN keep mooning over that kid he lost? He should be grateful. It’s just one more kid he won’t have to ignore when it grows up. And who in the WORLD is HE to be giving advice about family?! He told Victoria--just one of the children he treats like crap when he feels like it--that her loved ones could be ripped away at any moment so she should cherish them. Yeah, the same way he “cherishes” his kids. Wonder how long before he’s ignoring NuAbby?

I seriously doubt rich folk hide a key in the shrubs by the front door. LOL! I loved that scene. I was just surprised it wasn’t under the doormat or in a fake rock.

teacher says, 'every time a bell rings, an angel gets it's wings'

I have to admit, I thoroughly enjoyed today’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” takeoff with Michael.

I have to laugh though, how people even talk differently, like Lauren. All stuffy and snobbish. LOL! Great show.

Here’s my Christmas wish--that ALL of the shows for 2009 could be as interesting as this one was.

the young and the f*@#!ing stupid

I'm confused: is Victor in jail or at the Genoa City Hotel that he's allowed to move freely from room to room, holding meetings with other inmates?

And if the DA had a lick of sense, they would have frozen Adam's bank account the minute they felt the diary was a scam and Adam was a flight risk. But, of course, they've proven their (lack of) abilities time and time again.

Apparently the GC cops are every bit as inept. If Katherine's "stolen" ring was pawned, shouldn't they have been alerted by now?

LOL'ing at Esther putting an inflatable Santa on the front lawn of the mansion.

Gee, Amber didn't waste any time finding a publisher OR getting that book proofread, edited AND into print, did she? How long has Katherine been dead? Two weeks? Yet another annoying thing is that Lowell was close enough to the diner to show up there, yet no one recoginizes the Great Katherine Chancellor OR the billboard? Unreal. Seriously. Unreal.

Hogan Sheffer and his team of lazy, lackluster writers SUCK. Here's hoping for a NEW head writer in the New Year.

the young and the repetitive

Once again that idiot Nicki bends over backwards to make it easier for Victor to screw her up the ass. Didn’t she give him this same “I’m through letting you make me crazy” speech several days ago? No wonder he doesn’t believe her. She’s given it a million times.


Heather thinks Adam is a flight risk because the first time they arrested him he was at the airport? Ummm, wasn’t SHE the one who allowed him to go free after that? This whole storyline is so screwed up it makes me angry.

I got a kick out of the way Adam blamed Heather for ruining all they had. LOL! Isn’t that always the way with criminals?

freeeeeedom!

How in the world is Adam walking around FREE when he was arrested the other day? AND to add insult to injury, Heather tells him not to leave town and he has the gall to stop by and tell her he's leaving town. I can't tell which one is the bigger idiot.

Why in the world would Nikki and Victor have a joint account? All that crap would have been dissolved long ago during one of their many divorces, I'm sure. How in the world is Victor being "difficult" when he told her to contact his accountant or his lawyer? I just want to fricking SLAP Nikki for continuing to try and be civil to Victor. He treats her like trash. When is she going to learn?

"Will I hold a grudge forever?" for the kiss, Phyllis asks. Of course she will. She's Phyllis, the same chick who tried to run down Paul and Crickett.

If Gloria has a lick of sense, and I think she's proven time and time again that she doesn't, she won't sign those divorce papers. Let Jeffrey suffer as much as she is.

judge and jury

Now Rafe is a public defender? I thought Rafe's specialty was family court? What's next? Product tampering lawyer?

TPTB SERIOUSLY need to recast him. He looks like a high schooler.

physician, heal thyself

Jack thinks his dad would still be alive if it weren't for Gloria? What? He's a doctor now?

thursday's rant

I never realized that the DA had the ability to let an arrested criminal leave on his own recognizance? First, Heather has Adam arrested and read his rights. Second, he shows up at her office in his suit, so obviously he didn’t spend the night in jail. Where was he? Then she questions him and LETS HIM GO! She’s a judge now? Has she never heard of “flight risk”? And again, isn’t all of this up to a JUDGE to decide? Geez, no wonder she can’t hang on to this job.

Prosecuting Victor Newman is a “conflict of interest” for Heather, but prosecuting her ex-finace ISN’T? I LMAO when the DA said to Heather, “Remind me never to cross you.“ Why? She hasn’t won a single case yet.

Wasn't it great how they slid that V8 public service announcement into the show at Crimson Lights? Could they have BEEN more obvious?

Jill is moving upstairs at Jabot because she has stock? Are all the stockholders living upstairs now?

Adam fell out of love quite rapidly didn’t he? “Kiss your job goodbye. Again.”

Ooooh, Gloria, give it UP already. You confessed on tape.

dyno-mite!

I LMAO when Adam said to Heather, “Nobody’s going to believe a three time loser like Ellis.” And yet his own fiancee did. Adam would tell the truth IF he thought Heather didn’t love him? WTH? So, in other words, since she loves him, he’ll ruin her career and continue to lie? Why did she need to prove she loved him in the first place?

What gives with Victor being able to meet with another prisoner any time he feels like it? So much of this show is bullshit anymore. And if Ellis rats out Adam and Jack at the drop of a hat, why wouldn’t he tell everyone that Victor is helping his family in exchange for his confession? You know it’ll come back to bite Victor in the ass because it’s illegal.

Lauren must be a glutton for punishment if she wants Eden to stay. Isn’t she surrounded by enough liars in the Baldwin family?

If the warehouse Lowell and Michael meet at has merchandise in it, how is it that they can come and go as they please?

Michael turns in Lowell because he’s looked the other way too much in his life? Wonder how he’s going to deal with Mommy dearest and the tainted face cream? He knew all about her involvement in that fiasco, too.
I think the key to this whole case is that they never proved that the woman died from the cream, and Jeffrey hasn’t died so obviously it wasn’t deadly. I bet they get her on product tampering or something like that.

Why in the world would Victor have a copy of the magazine in jail with him?

the right stuff

What’s with Jana? She was going on and on about how Kevin needed to “do the right thing,” then she turns around and gives Katherine’s money to Lowell! If she wanted to do the “right thing” she should have returned that money to Katherine’s family. BTW, last month Kevin told Daniel the $10k was the monthly take at CL. Now today he’s claiming $2k is the monthly take. Which is it?

Why do I just know Ana will be returned to Neil and her mommy on Christmas Eve? It’s a miracle!

restless thoughts

If Karen has to move out because she and Neil are living together, how it is that Tyra can stay? She and Neil are residing together, unmarried also.

It makes me laugh every time Michael starts ranting about someone being a thief or a con or a liar. Isn’t his mother all of those things? And hasn't he been a liar on many occasions, as well as his brother who is a liar, attempted murderer and pedophile? Not like the Balwins come from sterling gene quality.

I don’t like NuEden any more than I liked OldEden. OldEden was teenage bratty/sullen and NuEden is babyish in comparison.

we are family

Did Adam actually say that if it were any of Victor's other kids who had behaved the way he did, Victor would have forgiven them?! Evidently he doesn't know Victor very well.

Why in the world would Jeff put that cream on his face to make a point? What a dolt. And how stupid is this storyline? Gloria could counter that Jeff put something in the cream himself. Puhleeze.

Billy, Billy, Billy. Wonderful of you to give Jack something ELSE to hold over your head. When are you going to learn brother dear doesn't love you, he loves manipulating you?

What would Eden know about the Baldwin family house rules? Other than how to break every one of them. You'd think she'd be grateful for a roof over her head all these weeks, instead of doing her best to be a jerk. I thought OldEden was annoying, but this one seems rather petulant. Casting still doesn't have it right.

baby baby i'm taken with the notion

I'm so glad I don't have Chloe's nurse. It took her all of five seconds to give Billy the private information he needed about Chloe's condition with a little cajoling. TWICE.

Cane said, "Someone once said, 'The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother'." Sounds like Cane has been watching himself some Dr. Phil.

How it is that Chloe fell on her back yet began frantically clutching her stomach and ended up fracturing her pelvis?

typical Y&R

They bring a good actor like Michael Gross and after a few shows, shove his character onto the back burner.

What a waste.

He's no good to them in jail. Get him out of there so he can start mixing things up between Glo and Jeff.

stand by her man

Geez, it didn't take Sharon long to start thinking about Nick now that her marriage is kaput, did it?

She needs to stand by her original statement that she wouldn't do to Phyllis what Phyllis did to her, and stop running to Nick. He's not her husband any more and chick needs to GROW UP. It won't kill her to be alone.

Friday's Y&R rant

What prison would allow two inmates to meet in a cell together like Victor and the forger? None. And no judge would take a word of that inmate's "testimony" seriously if he knew Victor was paying him.

LOL’ing @ Jack having to use the sex addict lie. Serves him right. As long as it gets him out of the house, I don’t care. I’ve disliked those two together from the start. I loved it yesterday when Michael said, “I can’t wait to hear this either.” Jack leaves his credit card statements with Michael?!

Speaking of Michael, he and Victor must be communicating telepathically these days. Victor hadn't talked to Michael at all during today's show, and yet he had dirt on the forger. How so? Maybe he Googled him? BWAHAHAHA!
If the forger didn't think enough of his family to stay and support them, why would he care if his family was taken care of in exchange for info?

How stupid was Phyllis to reveal that she knew about Jack’s credit cards before she sent the information to Sharon? She should have kept her mouth shut about what she knew before she played her hand. Jack is going to go straight to her.

Can’t wait to see Nick’s reaction when he realizes the cover of Restless Style was shot in Paris. And who’s running the magazine? When there were FOUR people in charge, they had to be there every moment, micromanaging each other, working late at night, figuring out who was going to grace the cover. Now, no one is there. Not even Nicki.

Love how Sharon interrupts her dramatic exit to stop and make a phone call to Nick.

rant on

I’m sure Glo will be suitably shocked when Jack double crosses her. Even though this is the same guy who tricked her out of her inheritance and kept her from attending her husband’s funeral. Yep, she’ll never see it coming.

I read that Ashley shows up at the board meeting and shakes things up. I’m wondering if she takes over the company? That would be a real coup and I love anything that puts a spanner in Jack’s works.

I’m just glad this week spells the end of Sharon and Jack. There was NO chemistry there. It was like seeing a woman making out with her uncle. Her lying, manipulative uncle. But I love the way she tells him to pack a bag and leave his own house…LOL!

Adrienne Frantz has been putting in some good scenes now that Katherine is “dead”.

Billy’s lawyer friend looks like he’s fresh out of the 10th grade.

Lord, could Devon’s big speech about Ana being afraid have been any cornier? Ugh. His character is every bit as preachy and pompous as Neil. And it’s hard to buy this “bond” between Ana and Devon when she arrived out of nowhere, and they were instantly close.

Love how Kevin says he didn’t steal the money from Mrs. C. Yes, he did. He had ample opportunity to return it to the family. Great hiding place, Kevin! Ever heard of a separate bank account?

Gloria “sacrificed everything” for Michael? I must have missed that episode.
