pathetic

Michael Baldwin USED to have a law practice.

Now he basically spends his time representing family and the Newmans. And he must get one hell of a whopping retainer from the Newmans because no matter what Victor needs done, be it legal work or picking up the dry cleaning, he seems to call Michael to take care of it.

Interesting to see the writers turning Ashley into a watchable character after all the crap she's been dealt lately. It will be fun to see her and Junior get into business only to find out that Junior is her worst enemy.

I'm hating this Amber/Daniel stuff. She's a grown ass woman and yet she talks like a freaking BABY. When are they going to age this character already?! She's not a whiney teen anymore and yet she still speaks like one.

this is the best idea I've heard all along!!!

After Ashley finds Victor in Paris and forces him to eat, he tells her that she must leave and tell no one--even his children--that he's in France.

IF ONLY the blonde one would listen!!!

only on the soaps...

Do the writers seriously expect us to believe that Ashley found Victor (and vice versa) in a city the size of Paris simply by walking around, looking perplexed, flashing his picture to people here and there, and saying the prayer on the card? *insert eye roll here*

Glad to see EB still "acts" with his hands in his pockets....

walk on the wild side

Michael‘s father said to him, “Didn’t you tell me there was nothing you wouldn’t do to protect your son? Why should Gloria be any different?” Gee, I don’t know, maybe because she stood by and let her husband torment the shit out of Kevin? And why would anyone believe her? She lies about every thing. Speaking of Michael, while I like Christian, his over the top acting is starting to grate on my nerves. On minute he’s yelling about Gloria’s stupidities and unlawful mechanizations, and the next, he’s enabling her to pull them off.

Geez, I never realized there were so many temperamental models until Restless Style came along. Only about four issues and they’re had a problem with every damn one of ‘em. Now half of the executive staff is missing and Phyllis is leaving, too. On one hand, the writers keep telling us that publishing a magazine is hard work; on the other, they’re showing us a magazine can publish itself. Once again, good job, writing staff.

Tyra didn’t even have the common courtesy to intro Olivia to the police detective? “Thanks to her, you’ve got a date”? Oy. Nothing like making “her” feel like the fifth wheel on a wagon.

I was LMAO when they played that cheesy French music as they showed Ashley at the café in Paris. I half expected Pepe LePew to stroll down le boulevard.

Isn’t it fantastic that Daniel is so worldly that he not only knows a photographer in Paris, but he’s being asked to do another art show? Of what? Crappy pencil sketches? Ugh. I’ve seen more talent in 5th graders. And THEN he says he’s “too busy” to sketch? Sure he is. He has a crummy little job working for Mommy--what is it he does at the magazine again, because it certainly isn’t photography?--and yet he’s willing to turn his back on the tons of money he could rake in from the art world because he‘s “too busy“. Yeah, uh huh, sure. Maybe if he wasn’t too busy, he’d have his own money to go to Paris, and wouldn’t be asking Mommy to take him.

Kevin makes $10k a WEEK running a lousy coffee house? Wouldn’t that be a gross of about $520,000 a year?! And Daniel swallowed that bullshit? Dumb and dumber. Ok, I’m off to buy myself a coffee house…

fly, little bird, fly!

Awww, fiftysomething Jack Abbott is forced to move out of the family home. Booo hooo.

There's something unnatural about a grown man living with Daddy all of his life, including his married lives. Even Ashley lived with Daddy when she was married to Blade. What gives with these Abbott kids being terrified to leave the nest? You'd think they'd WANT a home of their own. But apparently privacy isn't tops on their "must have" list. The only time they even hinted at leaving home, and having a house built, an affair with the architect ruined the whole thing.
