walking in a winterzzz wonderland

I'm wondering who Malcolm's fiancee is. It can't be Olivia because he said he ran into her at the airport, and the way he took pains not to mention her first name tells me it will be someone we know. Maybe Karen? Or that idiot Tyra?

When I watched Neil and "Malcolm" together today, I realized why this new guy bugged me so much. Shemar and Kristoff had GREAT chemistry together. Heck, they had the perfect bromance. Kristoff and NuGuy DON'T have that same chemistry. Not at all.

today's rant

One aspect of Y&R that I do like is the strong bond between Daniel and Noah and now Summer. But I have to wonder what in the world Daniel knows about struggling to pay the bills? He went on tour with his rich daddy, his mother got him a job at Restless Style taking pictures when he had ABSOLUTELY NO experience behind the camera and now he's got this "job" where he wanders around all day, pretty much doing nothing but solving crime. He should seriously think about changing his last name to "Hardy".

Speaking of wandering around doing nothing, Jill has supposedly lost every cent she has, yet we've only seen her work one day at a salon, and she hasn't skipped a beat financially. She's still getting coffee at the coffee shop and dressing to the nines. Everyone who has lost money in this recession should be making out so well. Nice to see that a CEO can become a manicurist and not struggle financially.

Neil made a total ass out of himself screaming at Cane the way he did yesterday. Lily willingly showed up at the house and yet Neil carried on like she was kidnapped. Oy. He shouldn't have written off Tyra and Karen so quickly. Lord knows he needs a life of his own.

LOVED the expression on Victoria's face when Nicki told her about Adam and Rafe. I think the reason I dislike this storyline so much is because it's perfectly obvious that both of these guys are uncomfortable acting this gay story out. And that makes it uncomfortable for the viewers as well.

more observations on Wednesday's show

I seriously doubt the hospital would let Cane schlep that newborn baby around all day as if she were a toy. And when he wasn't handling it, Jill and Esther were.

Soooo, Victor is suddenly no longer Abby's father? Weird now that works. She seemed to consider him her father when she accepted that overpriced million dollar horse.

Hard to tell who the bigger jerk is: Neil, for not stopping that kiss or Tara, for telling a newly married man that she was in love with him. And Karen? HELLO?! Why did you freaking sneak out without ripping them BOTH a new asshole?!

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.

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!

Hmmmm, interesting

Tyra tells Neil that she is not Ana's mother, but Yolanda is.
I wonder if this is true or just her way of staying aboard Neil's gravy train?

Neil is named head of Newman Enterprises, and Adam/Vic Jr. is bumped off of his high horse.
BWAHAHAHA. Couldn't happen to a more arrogant jerk.

Adam tells Nikki that Brad knew about David's gambling.
Good. I'm glad the truth about Brad's manipulation is finally coming out. I can't wait for them to find Skye's cell phone and I know they will, right along with Brad's stupid message about how they scammed Chow.

"clip on!" "clip off!"

Neil Winters has been a business executive for how many years now, and suddenly today, he doesn't know how to knot a tie?! What's he been wearing all these years? Clip on ties?

is it chilly in here or is it the winterzzz?

today's show

1. Dru "hid" her modeling career? Umm, wouldn't the pretty pictures in the magazines be a BIG RED FLAG?

2. I thought Neil sold his plane when he bought Indigo? At least I remember his upset at having to sell the "gift" Victor gave him, and yet he told Lily it was "being repaired" today.

3. Sabrina called her mother that she is not close to and told her she was getting married, yet didn't bother to find out where her mother is living? Why bother to call at all?

4. What is the purpose of security at the Newman ranch when apparently anyone can walk in the front door unannounced, including Neil?

the young and the overly dramatic

Lily tells Cane she worked "SO hard" for her modeling career? Excuse me, she won a damn contest. Up until that point, she showed no interest whatsoever in a modeling career.

Chow returns home and tells Nikki there was no cell phone service at the hospital where his uncle was taken. No landlines either?

What in the world was Neil thinking asking his gf to raise his daughter's baby?! He doesn't even think enough of Karen to make her his wife, and yet he wants her to raise his grandkid? Unbelievable.

Funny how all the women in Victor Newman's life ignore the signs of how controlling and cold he is. Sabrina is baffled as to why he isn't upset by Vikki's reaction to their affair. She walks in on him yelling on the phone to a business acquaintance. He buys Nick's mortgage then insists his stupid museum be in that building. But I'm sure all these little things won't mean much to Sabrina until after he starts running her life. Oh, wait, he already has. He's made sure she stays in GC, instead of NYC. And he's making sure she lives with him where he can keep an eye on her.

what a lovely way of saying how much she loves me

I know I've been ragging on Lily for being so immature, but today's scenes with Kahlil and St. John were some of her best EVER.

This pregnancy issue is turning out to be rather interesting, in light of the fact that Lily has suddenly decided she wants to be a model and having the baby will interfere with that. I don't agree with abortion because a child is an inconvenience, but this is definitely one of Y&R's better storylines right now.
