Many of you know that we're not getting the
day-ahead news of Genoa City as fast as we once did,
and while what we do get is not much more than two
hours later than usual, the time change has thrown
me off. My wife still struggling with lung cancer,
it's at roughly the time the newsbrief comes in now
that Gail is waking up and she requires almost
constant attention. Thus, the only time I have to
write about the goings on in GC are the very early
morning hours, and unless I have breaking news to
report I'm having to write about what's happening
more in real-time than the daze ahead.
A silver lining so to speak, writing about what has
happened has given me a chance to sit back and feel
the ironic righteousness melt over me like hot Cheez-Whiz
over an Australian Kangarooburger. I can pretty much
forget about Cane Ashby bitching and moaning that
Chloe Mitchell/Kate Valentine lied to him when he's
perhaps the biggest liar since David Chow.
With Chloe having legally changed her name, it's
safe to drop Kate since it's not likely anyone will
call Chloe by her birth name just like they don't
call Victor Adam Newman by his birth name or Cane by
his. With that housekeeping chore out of the way,
shall we go to the videotape? Remember when Cane
revealed that his real name was "Ethan" when it's
really Phillip Chancellor III? Will anyone ever
bother tying up this loose end? How did he get the
name Ashby and who are the Ashby's? The uncle who
raised him in the Outback? What makes Cane think
that he can take Chloe's baby because she lied to
him about her name? Until he demands a more detailed
DNA test he can't say that she's lying about being
pregnant with his baby.
Speaking of babies, when did Katherine Chancellor
see Ether Valentine's child as thirty pounds
overweight and wearing braces? There seems to have
been a time when Ether was on extended vacation and
claims to have visited Kate at the boarding school,
but for crying out loud. Was Ether not concerned
that her baby was hideous? Did she take a picture?
Did Katherine look at it and say, oh, Kate is
turning out to be a nice looking girl just like
Traci Abbott? Let's send her a lifetime supply of
Oreo's.
And why would Ether run off to the Jitter Joint
dressed in her maid's uniform? Was it too much
trouble putting on street clothes? Oh, look at the
freak! That thing from the Chancellor Mausoleum has
escaped, the townsfolk might say which would so
embarrass the hanging at the JJ Chloe she'd want to
immediately move into the mausoleum and order Ether
to do her laundry. She can do this because she's
pregnant with a Chancellor baby although Cane
doesn't go by the name Chancellor. What's really
confusing is how Lily Winters knew who Chloe really
is without hearing it from Cane.
Don't forget, still to come, Cane and Lily will
have, or may have had by now, a romantic rendezvous
because nothing screams family values like a married
man cheating on his pregnant wife. Had Lily gone all
the way it would have been okay because it was "just
sex", the drug of choice among the elite.
