the young and the ridiculous

Victor is a laugh riot sometimes. The other day when he said to Nicki, "How can you just walk into the house like this?" I nearly peed myself laughing.

EVERYONE walks into that house unannounced. Why should he be surprised that his ex-wife does it? Oh, maybe it's because he "beefed up" his security. That's another laugh riot. How can you "beef up" something that doesn't exist?

Friday's show

Why would the DA's office allow Sharon to be institutionalized when she's pregnant? Why wouldn't they make her attend mandatory counseling sessions first?

After all the promises Nick made Phyllis, after renewing their vows, that huge JACKASS still has the balls to say to Sharon, "Just say the word and I'm there." What a jerk.

stayin' alive

In Thursday's show, Rafe tells Sharon that if she commits herself for 30 days, they won't press charges. He goes on to say that she could be held longer, but more than likely won't be. He reassures her on this a couple times. So we know one thing for sure: she WILL be forced to stay after the 30 days is up...LOL!

Abby is so damn self-centered that she wishes Adam could see her on the cover of Restless Style? Geez, could she be more insensitive? Yes, she can. She wants to throw a party for herself knowing that her mother is FRAGILE, damn it!

Here's a few things I don't ever want to hear coming out of Victor Newman's mouth again: "you got that?" "fragile" "I'll be damned" "I built this business from the ground up" and "gaslighting".

the young and the kleptos

So once again, Sharon is in trouble.

Hmmm, who will she call from jail? My money is on Jack. But then Nick will find out and rush to her side.

Jack is such an idiot. She's always so quick to tell him that there will never be anything between them, yet every time she's in trouble, she's calls him and he comes a running. And after he gave her that big "it's over!" speech. He's such a major wimp.

are you KIDDING me?!

What kind of mother leaves town--possibly permanently--and doesn't even take the time to say a face to face goodbye to her kids and grandkids?! And what a cop out--"it's too painful". GMAB, Nicki.

The Newmans are one whacked out family.

How many times have they left town without word to anyone--especially Victor? I recall the one Christmas both kids lived at home and Mom and Dad were BOTH gone from the ranch.

Their biggest problem IS....

Lily: I think the problem is Lily is her own worst enemy. Every time there's trouble, she runs back to Daddy, so of course, Daddy is going to stick up for her. He knows all her business because the immature little blabbermouth can't deal with her own problems. She gets over her anger, but Dad is still mad. I hate that Neil interferes, but the blame lies squarely on Lily's shoulders. She's still acting like a child and that's why she's still being treated like one.

Nicki: I think the real reason Nicki doesn't want to marry Paul is because he treats her like a decent human being. She said it herself, "I've found a man who would never hurt anyone." I guess Paul isn't nearly as emotionally and verbally abusive enough for her.

Victor: LOVED the "this time I promise we will make it work" line that he tossed into one of his many weddings. The mere fact that he's been married as many times as he's had should have been a big tip off that his word means jack shit. "This time" we'll make it work leaves you with the impression that the other times were just practice runs.

paging the Abbotts: pity party of several

I wonder how much Jill and Billy pay to throw their daily pity parties?

Boo hoo. Nobody loved Billy when he was growing up so he has to constantly take it out on Mommy dearest.

Boo hoo. Kay made Jill's life a living hell--according to Jill--so she has to constantly take it out on Kay.

Boo hoo. Phillip was gay and nobody loved him so he takes it out on his family by staging his own death and staying away from his family for years and years. He was the only smart one. He saved money on the pity parties.

Does ANYONE in this family take responsibility for their own actions? And does ANYONE truly forgive?

Interesting how Chloe took Billy to task about Jill today, saying she was a mother and hoped that when Delia grew up she didn't throw her mistakes in her mother's face like Billy was doing. Hmm, what was the reason she had nothing to do with Esther all these years again? Oooh, yeah. The mistakes she made as a mother. Oy these people with the accusing others of the same stuff they do!

LOVED the sour expression on Nicki's face today when she proclaimed she was "estatic to be marrying Paul." Yeah, that was really believable.
