Based on an actual interview with Jeanne Cooper, AKA
Katherine Chancellor, here's my take on it.
Assuming you haven't heard, here's what's coming
soon to a TV - or computer - near you. Those who
spin this crap call it "front-burner". It will be
about the old lady who lived in a shoe and her
daughter, Jill Abbott. It will result - for a few
days - in the return of Billy Abbott and Mac
Browning. Excited already? Long for the days of
Billy and Mac lounging by the Abbott pool smearing
toxic lotions on themselves? Wondering if Jill is
really Katherine's daughter and if she isn't why
months were wasted telling that tale?
The issue we're told will be "approached". There
won't be a love life for Katherine because, well,
old people having sex isn't cool. Freaks like Kevin
Fisher vomit at the mere mention of old people sex.
What Katherine needs right now is "a real friend".
Friend Amber Moore was not good enough. Amber
started helping Katherine write her life story and
then - poof - the book was forgotten about.
That Useless Style Magazine took away from the book
seems to explain why many of us stopped caring about
Katherine's meaningless life. But you wait, that
will all change as gears shift and monkeys with
typewriters hang from the ceiling.
You see? What Genoa City once was is coming back.
Not an easy task slapping a 'new' label on old
stuff, there are reportedly hands tied and false
egos involved. Once those issues are dealt with, it
will be "full steam ahead".
But don't expect Katherine to go into politics. That
fantasy was given to Jack Abbott and Nikki Newman.
Jack went on to become a disgraced State Senator,
and now look at him. He's a disgraced magazine
publisher. Nikki went on to become a loser. And now
look at her. She's a loser.
So what about Victor and Nikki? Will they become the
new Luke and Laura? Are they too old for the young
crowd to care about? Will daughter Victoria crank up
the old daddy and mommy must get back together
soundtrack? Will it be that old man Victor will
knock another woman up? Will women around the globe
look at their husbands and ask, "Can't you ever
settle down?" Isn't Victor supposed to be the
epitome of men who can't be satisfied with one
woman? Isn't it Nikki's modus operandi to say over
and over how much in love she is with whatever man
she has at the moment, but always secretly pining
for Victor because she loves to be treated like a
rabid dog?
Will the burning question of Nikki's sobriety be
answered? Does anyone care if she goes back to being
a drunk? When you next see Nikki will you be blown
"right through the roof"? Will your world be rocked
when Nikki is on the phone with Katherine and at the
same time son Nick is on the phone and so many
things happen all at once you need the services of
Paul Williams to figure out what happened? Will this
scene "reek" of Genoa City's creator and you search
your memory for the slightest hint of who the
creator was?
Late at night will you lay awake in bed wishing you
were Cane? Don't you long for the ability to mumble
like Cane? Is he not some serious "Aussie" although
as Phillip Chancellor III he was born in America,
and to this day we don't know how he got to
Australia, a land Lily was surprised to learn allows
the sale of Chinese food. Do you yearn to be with
Cane? Perhaps engage in a conversation where he's
all prepared and you attack it in a different vein,
and he looks at you, and his kangaroo talent oozes
because he rises to the occasion, and you are so
impressed you faint on the spot?
Wake up!
It's all a dream.
No matter how much Genoa City changes, it will
always remain the same.
