where there's a will, there are inheritors

Why would Abby be given the same share as Victor's grandkids? She should get more because she's his daughter. And why isn't Brad there representing his daughter's interests?

and Paul wasted all that $ on a hotline

Gotta love Nikki's style of investigation: walking up and down the beach screaming Victor's name. And it worked!

Wonder if she could find Bin Laden for us the same way?

"would you like to leave a message?"

What kind of personal secretaries/receptionists do the companies on the show employ? Every time I see Restless Style, Sharon or Jack or Phyllis or Nick are answering the phones and dodging questions from reporters. Jill's calls from reporters come straight to the mansion phone and Katherine and Victor have even gotten calls from reporters on their private cell phones.

Shouldn't they have people taking care of this sort of stuff for them?

WHOA! never saw this one coming

OMG!!! What a great spoiler….Chloe is really Kate, Esther’s daughter! Nikki finds Victor on the beach tomorrow. Of course he survived, he’s The Great Victor Newman. A mere devastating storm at sea is no match for him!

I love the way Jack tries to justify his dirty dealings by putting a good spin on it, like his reasoning as to why they should to the Victor story. I can’t believe Sharon actually caught on to his motives for once. Too bad she’s not smart enough to leave him. She continues to be caught in the middle because of Jack’s behavior, yet she continues to enable it. She doesn’t make Jack answer for any of his actions. Instead of telling him she expects him to act honorably, she told him she had no expectations, thus giving him free reign to be the lying jerk he’s always been.

Ooooo, Brad in charge of Newman, and Heather aka “that woman” is living at the ranch. And poor Vic’s been “dead” only one or two days. I’m loving it. Heather and Adam are going to give Vic’s belongings to GOOD WILL?! LOL! Hysterical. Victor’s probably rolling over in his nonexistent grave. I will admit, some of the storylines are much juicer since the new writer took over.

Paul to Victoria: “Don’t worry. You know I’m not going to let anything happen to your mother.” After he left her in Mexico alone? Yeah, I’d trust him with my mom’s welfare.

As for Chloe aka Kate, all this time and Esther didn’t know her daughter changed her name? Or that she worked in fashion? And Chloe didn’t even try to see Esther since she’s been in town?

a correction

I checked on Kevin S's age--NuNoah---again, and he's not 28 as I originally stated. The website was incorrect. He's only 20.

Weird thing is, there's only 8 years between Daniel and Sharon, which really surprised me, and only 11 years between Michelle and Michael, so again, they screwed up with the casting there. I had no idea that Michael G was that close in age to her. Wikipedia lists him as 14 years younger than Michelle, but it lists his birth year as 1979 and hers as 1968, which would only be 11 years.

But in all fairness, if Michael G shaved his facial hair, he could really pass for a 16 yr old.

today's rant

When kajillionaire Steve Fossett was missing in September 2007, he was not declared legally dead until February 2008 after months and months of searching. One must admire how quickly the Mexican government works. Victor is missing one day, and he's declared dead, his death cert is issued and Adam is acting like a power hungry dictator at Newman. I’m loving that part, though. Can’t wait to see the smart ass fall on his face.

Lily is sorry she didn’t go to modeling school?! She stepped out of total obscurity into a contract with a major cosmetic company, and she’s sorry she didn’t go to modeling school?! Gawd she IS stupid.

Anna to Devon: “You have the whole music thing going on for you and you didn’t have to go to school.” WHAT “music thing”? Sitting around with a kid writing music? I’m just glad they’re getting rid of her, and from the forums I’ve read, I won’t be the only one happy to see her backside hitting the streets.

I love the way the bartender told Nick and Nicki about the body, instead of the police hunting them down. Classy. Wonder if the bartender is also responsible for filling out the death certificate and burying the body?

FINALLY!

Now that Victor is "dead," maybe NOW Eric Braeden is on vacation.**keeping my fingers crossed and doing the happy dance** Sad thing is I know it's just a matter of time before Victor rises from the dead. Once again. Just once, I'd like to Victor Newman to die and stay dead. I mean, how many times has this happened in the Newman family?

It will be interesting to see how much damage ego maniac Adam can do at Newman. First up, firing Neil. Adam is such an ass. I'm curious to see how well he's going to do running Newman with his Harvard Business degree and little else.
