Isn't it ironic that Paul Williams, of all people,
should be in charge of finding missing people? More
people have gone missing from Paul's life than in a
dozen episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. Heather
changed her hair just so she wouldn't be one of
them, probably hoping the disguise would throw Paul
off her trail. Strange that he should devote so much
time and energy into finding David Chow's former
wife when he doesn't even seem to know where his
last girlfriend went, and God only knows what
happened to his mother.
Ironic, too, that anyone would want to show their
baby pictures to Paul. When JT showed the latest
photos of Reed to him, I half expected Paul to say
"What, you still have that thing? I shipped mine off
to California after week 1." I wouldn't even want
him to hold the picture, he'd probably mail it away
to his in-laws to take care of. I'm just holding out
hope that Paul can eventually make JT vanish like
the rest of them.
What's the big mystery over why David's wife left
him? Wasn't it already established that David was
having an affair with Carmen Mesta during his last
marriage? I guess "Bitsy" didn't have much a problem
with him cheating on her, but oh, that gambling was
the last straw.
Frankly, Nikki deserves David. I can't believe she
was so surprised that the guitarist at her wedding
played "Through the Eyes of Love" during the
ceremony, even though that was a song she and Victor
used at one of their weddings. She wondered what the
odds of that were. Well, when you've been married 47
times the odds of having one of your former wedding
songs played again increase exponentially,
especially when you don't check the music
beforehand.
Then the not-so-young lovers returned to the
athletic club for their honeymoon lamenting the fact
that they couldn't get the honeymoon suite. The
athletic club has a honeymoon suite? Who the hell
goes to an athletic club for their honeymoon? Nikki
and David sure as hell aren't training for the
Olympics, after all.
I can't wait until Nikki takes off her engagement
ring and finds out her finger turned green. Ever
notice how all engagement rings on soap operas are
so huge they put the Hope Diamond to shame? Who the
hell would want to wear something that clunky? Until
you get to be Katherine's age and you want an
enormous rock on your hand to distract people from
your face I don't see the point. Nikki doesn't need
to go around flashing enormous diamonds to show
people she's rich. Everyone already knows she's been
married to Victor several times.
Nikki at least does serve one functional purpose,
and that's pulling Lily into her office and making
her feel like crap about losing the Restless Style
cover implying she must have done something wrong to
do so. And anyone that makes Lily feel like crap
about herself is OK in my book because God knows
everyone else in town follows Lily around telling
her how incredible she is as though Lily were
portrayed by Lauralee Bell and had it written into
her contract that everyone on the show had to
worship her.
