Great - just what Devon needs, something else to
bitch about. As if he needs an excuse to get pissy
about something, Devon now has a new axe to grind:
learning that his cousin is really his sister. I
don't know what he's complaining about. It's a lot
better than finding out your wife is your cousin -
just ask Billy Abbott. Or, finding out that your
worst enemy is your mother - just ask Jill. Or,
finding out your fiancé is your brother. Just ask
Christine, or Victoria.
Relationships are so fluid in Genoa City. I don't
know how anyone keeps track of who they're related
to or how. Even Devon's adopted sister Lily found
out her uncle was really her father and vice versa.
It's really nothing new. Devon should be grateful he
at least knew of Ana's existence, in a town where
bastard siblings come out of the woodwork at any
given moment and present themselves to brothers and
sisters who never even knew they existed.
Speaking of bastard siblings, I imagine Michael is
in store for at least one of those now that he's met
his father. And what an awkward meeting it was, as
the man in question stood at the altar of his half
brother's wedding only to be identified by his
shocked mother, in attendance for the ceremony. What
are the odds of that?
I don't know what Michael is so pissed off about
either. It's not as if he turned out so bad, and
might have been worse off if his hippie father had
stuck around. Some children are better off without
their fathers, you know. Charles Manson Jr., for
example. Michael needs to get over his daddy
abandonment issues, he's got enough on his plate as
it is being the only lawyer in all of Genoa City,
handling everything from corporate law to child
custody. Kind of like those doctors that do
everything from tonsillectomies to brain surgery.
Cane, another bastard child, is a questionable
choice to head things up at Jabot, to say the least.
Like he's so trustworthy? Or has "good instincts,"
as Jill claimed? Yeah he had a real good instinct
about Amber and more about Chloe, didn't he? I can
just see it now. The head of Maybelline will take
him out for a few drinks, and when he wakes up the
next morning he'll find out he sold the company for
a song and fathered another child.
Of course, he can't be much worse than Jack. Since
Jabot has been on the brink of financial ruin for as
long as I remember, I guess the fact that it's still
standing demonstrates it doesn't really matter who's
running things. Seems like Summer or Fenmore could
be CEO for all the difference it would make. They've
had ex-strippers, ex-manicurists and mob-related
gambling addicts running the show for the past few
years, so in that respect Cane is actually a step
up.
Still, I really don't get where Jill is coming from
with this whole engagement party idea. News of Cane
impregnating someone is hardly a scandal,
celebrities do it all the time. I'd say the priority
would be worrying that investors might not like the
idea that someone who was chasing kangaroos around
in the Outback just a year ago, as Gloria put it,
has been appointed CEO of a company with virtually
no experience in the industry. When Gloria is the
sanest person in the room, you know you're in
trouble.
