how dumb can a guy get?!

Daniel HAD to know the original Aucker was a fake. I mean, come on.

He asked DANIEL to draw an imitation of a priceless work of art. DANIEL who draws those ugly pencil sketches.

Like THAT wasn't enough of a tip off. I don't know what it is with soap writers, but I HATE THESE ART STORYLINES.

what the HELL were they thinking with this awful hairstyle?!

Had they just slicked his hair back, Daniel would have looked hott. Here he just looks
RI-DICK-ULOUS.

today's rant

Why in the world would Katherine only give Brock 1% of her damn estate and give her MAID half of the house and Jill 50% of her estate? Makes no sense. Why wouldn’t she share the remaining 50% evenly between Brock and Jill? I LMAO when Jill wanted to contest the will before it had even been read in it’s entirety. For what purpose? Guess she forgets that she’s already as rich as Croesus without Katherine’s money. She can well afford to buy out Esther’s share if she’s so desperate to get that mausoleum to herself.

So the entire Abbott family is now seeing dead John and nobody says anything about it to anyone else or sees it as a wee bit odd? Good to see there’s fake tanning lotion in Heaven. You’d think someone close to Jerry D would say, “Dude. Your face is the color of a pumpkin.” or something equally tactful.

Dina was anxious to see her granddaughter Colleen and yet she rushed back without bothering to see her? Grandma of the Year material.

Daniel can’t stay because he has concert obligations…LOL! Yeah, right. Couldn’t they have come up with a more plausible excuse than that, like his toilet was clogged or his library books were overdue?

Why are Jeff and Gloria trusting Jack? Just yesterday he told them to get lost. And they just take some of Jack’s liquor? When are they going to move out of that damn pool house? They act like white trash relatives. How long is Jack going to let Gloria use that pathetic “I miss John” excuse in exchange for free lodging?

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…

casting clusterfuck

Do the CBS soap casting directors need bifocals or what?

It's bad enough that only ten years separates Donna from her son Marcus, and that less than ten years separates Brooke from the woman who plays her mother, NOW Y&R folks hire a kid who is only ONE YEAR younger than Daniel to play Noah. Thank God he clarified for us today by saying, "I know I'm just a kid but...." PUHLEEZE.

Do they think we're too stupid to see these things?

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.

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!

ex is best

When is Daniel going to wake up and smell the coffee? It's so obvious that Amber is still in love with Cane. As much as she mentions him, you'd think Daniel would get a clue that she's doing her best to turn him into her ex.

What's with the ADULTS at Restless Style not stepping up and telling Daniel and Amber to stop acting like kids at the magazine offices? They need to take their personal problems ELSEWHERE.

I hope Amber isn't wearing her own clothes to work. That hideous leopard print piece she was half-wearing today was ridiculous. The dress she wore to the opening was also ghastly.

I hope Victoria quits Newman and goes to work for the magazine. It's clear that Victor is punishing Victoria for her reaction to his relationship with Sabrina. She needs to cut her ties with Daddy (Not So) Dearest and start her own life.

And I STILL get the feeling TGVN Jr. is going to oust Daddy from his own company. Couldn't happen to a nicer jerk.
