I don't know who on this show insists that Victor is
some big stud women half his age swoon over, but
they are wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm embarrassed
for this guy seeing him in his black T-shirt and
black stretchy shorts punching away at the punching
bag like he thinks he's Lance Armstrong or
something. My 91 year old grandmother who had open
heart surgery and broke her hip is watching this guy
going "Oh, he's going to hurt himself."
I mean let's face it, Victor is 70 if he's a day.
It's one thing to have gold diggers chasing him for
his money but it's quite another to have his
daughter's friends wetting their pantaloons watching
him at the gym. The man has to swallow a cocktail of
Celebrex, Geritol and ibuprofen just to get out of
bed in the morning and I shudder to think what combo
of Cialis
and Viagra he'd need to get into bed with a woman
his own age let alone a 30 year old. Unless the
audience is made up of one thousand year old women
nobody is looking at this guy like he's a catch.
I must say I agree with Adam when he said that the
world isn't ready for two of him. I'm not too crazy
about just one of him. I don't know why the show
doesn't just cut their losses and recast this part.
The actor is dull and he's just not cutting it. It's
not as if this show hasn't gone elsewhere when
someone wasn't making the role work: who else
remembers the first Daniel, or the first JT, or the
first Brittany, or the first Rhianna, or the first
Carter Mills, or for you old-timers out there, how
many Sharons they went through before they found
Sharon Case. Suck it up, show. Adam stinks. You want
someone who can go up against Victor Newman, you
gotta find someone with more personality than this
boring kid.
So Neil thinks Lily is working too hard? HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. The day I see Lily working
too hard is the day I see Victor strapping on a pair
of Depends. Up until now the hardest I ever saw her
working was trying to squeeze out a few tears when
her mother went over a cliff and that only lasted a
couple of hours. I can't remember the last time I
saw her doing any school work and I have NEVER
actually seen her in school. She spends most of her
time hanging around the coffee shop or following
Cane around like a lost puppy. Personally I'm not
terribly worried that she's overtaxing herself.
Bad move on Chloe's part saying the dress Lily was
wearing was a little tight. To Nikki, that is.
Nikki, who has to pour herself into her dress every
morning, lie down to zip it up, and is spilling out
at the top while her seams are bursting. If Lily is
too heavy Nikki must be considered morbidly obese.
And I'm so over Neil this crap about how school
comes first. Since when does a college degree count
for a hill of beans in this town? The top executives
are comprised of a former stripper, a manicurist, a
hedge clipper, a charlatan and half a dozen kids who
went from being 6 to 20 in about a year. None of
them went to college and it didn't impede their
financial success a bit.
These people don't even have to pay for rent or
food. That off campus house Devon is living in was
donated by Jack when Daniel and Lily were married
and somehow Devon has it all to himself now and
nobody cares. And Lily can pick up free muffins off
the counter at Crimson Lights whenever she feels
like it. No charge.
Not that they should have to pay much if the
occasion arose. The so-called "mansions" on this
show make me feel like I'm rich. The living room at
the Abbott house isn't much bigger than mine and the
foyer is about as big as my porch. The Newman Ranch
that Adam is drooling over is about as impressive as
the locker room at the athletic club and Katherine's
living room looks like a department store display at
Macy's circa 1975.
Small wonder Noah spends most of his time at his
friend Sam's house. But, who is Sam and why have we
never seen him? Noah has two homes between Nick and
Phyllis and Sharon and Jack and yet more often than
not he's staying with this "Sam" kid we never see.
Meanwhile everyone else is staying at the athletic
club despite the fact that it seems to have only
that one room. The same room Ji Min died in, the
same room Gloria and Jeffrey go to every time
they're there and the same room David Chow was
living in with Nikki.
I love how Paul can follow Jeffrey around town
without anybody noticing. That's because nobody ever
notices Paul. You can go from Crimson Lights to the
Athletic club and back again all day long and if
Paul is sitting behind you at the table everywhere
you go, nobody bats an eye. He doesn't even need a
disguise. You'd think people would notice that the
one lone private detective in town seems to be
everywhere they go. I don't know if that speaks to
Paul's total lack of personality or if it's a
comment on how everyone in this town has only two
places to go at any given moment anyway. As long as
he's not up in that one room the athletic club seems
to have.
So "Restless Style Magazine" is having a big launch
party, huh? It's going to be a pretty small affair
given their staff consists of six people so far as I
can tell. They have no writers, no photographers, no
artists, no marketing people and no billing
department. No wonder nobody wants to invest in this
crap.
Oh for the love of God don't tell me they're
bringing Danny Romalotti to sing at this thing. Like
he's supposed to be a "celebrity?" Danny Romalotti
is to "celebrity" what Lily is to "overworked." That
is to say, he's about as famous as, well, me. They
could invite me to this party and get just about as
much publicity. And I wouldn't even sing.
Promise.
