So what do we think of the latest incarnation of
Billy? Personally, I think he may be a vampire. He
has scary looking teeth. Seriously, he frightens me.
And why his sudden interest in Lily? He's known Lily
a long time so I see no reason for his sudden
interest in her. I mean, it certainly can't be her
personality. She doesn't have one. And as far as her
looks go, Billy's been around the block, and around
the world, long enough to have met lots of beautiful
girls. Lily's pretty but she's nothing special. Is
it that she has some vampire-favorite blood type?
They say vampires are spirits that inhabit the host
of a dead body. This might also explain why Billy
was surprised to see so many people he knew at
Daniel's art show. He said he knew Amber was
currently living in Genoa City and wondered if she
knew any of his former peers. Is he kidding?
Everyone knows everyone in Genoa City. There's only
one coffee shop for God's sake and everyone goes
there every day. But, if Billy were a vampire now,
he wouldn't know that, would he?
Plus, Billy being a vampire goes a long way towards
explaining his earlier attraction to Amber. Amber is
so pale and so gaunt, not to mention devoid of any
taste in clothes or accessories, that Billy may have
mistaken her for another vampire. See how this is
all adding up?
The relationships on this show are a little too
incestuous for my taste. It's hard to keep track,
but we have Lily, who was married to Daniel, in love
with Cane, who was married to Amber, who is now in
love with Daniel. Cane and Billy are brothers and
now they both want Lily. Colleen is Lily's best
friend but now she's sleeping with Daniel, who was
married to Lily. I don't know about you, but I
wouldn't be real comfortable hanging around in a
circle of friends where everyone has pretty much
either slept with or been married to everyone else
in that group. Sounds awkward to me.
How unlikely is it that River, or Lowell, or
whatever his name is, has been able to successfully
dodge the law for the greater part of his life, yet
is finally nabbed in Genoa City, of all places? I
mean, the police in Genoa City seldom arrest or
charge the actual culprit in any given crime, and
anyone with half a brain is able to slip right under
their noses. If Lily and Daniel can escape the
police and go on the lam, how hard can it be?
And for the love of God, why do we need this new
character Eden? The last thing this show needs is
some snot-nosed teenager. I thought we'd seen the
last of that when they reformed runaway Mackenzie.
And Mackenzie was Shirley Temple compared to this
brat. With the suitcase filled with dirty clothes
and the off-putting chip on her shoulder, she just
screams bad news. Or perhaps even vampire.
And are we to believe that Eden and River have never
once been separated? Really? Because I don't recall
seeing her at Kevin and Jana's wedding. I must have
missed that part. Where she was off smoking a joint
while her father missed the opportunity to introduce
her to her brother.
