I know I'm expected to swallow a lot watching this
show, but am I to believe that the Wall Street
Journal actually writes stories about Victoria
Newman? Somewhere sandwiched in between news about
the bank meltdowns and the insurance overhaul,
there's an article about this insipid, childish brat
who just happens to have been born with a silver
spoon in her mouth? And that it's some big deal she
didn't tell the stockholders that Victor had renal
failure one morning when he was recovering from a
heart transplant? Even now, as Victor walks around
the Genoa City athletic club only weeks after
surgery?
Give me a break. It's hard enough trying to pretend
not to notice that "Victoria" is about six months
pregnant with a belly shadowing her feet, even if
they do make her walk around holding giant purses
and manila folders over her stomach. It's harder
still to imagine a man half Victor's age being
sprung from the hospital only a couple weeks after
getting a heart transplant. But then again, the
recuperation time in Genoa City has always been
something of a medical marvel, to say the least.
It's kind of like how women have babies and are
wearing belts again about a week later.
So, Victor still owns the ranch? I thought Ashley
was going to get it in the divorce settlement. Or,
is it some sort of rental agreement? He still owns
the property but she gets to live there? I don't
think she was specific enough with her divorce
attorney. If Victor still holds the title she has no
rights to it. I thought she was crazy, not stupid.
There's nothing to prevent Victor from walking right
in whenever he wants to. Why doesn't she just punch
him in the chest? I know I would.
How many jackets did Amber make for Lauren's stores?
Did she make them all herself? Or does she have some
factory churning them out? I mean, I can understand
nobody wanting to buy them, but I'm scratching my
head trying to figure out how they got there in the
first place. We sure haven't seen her doing any work
in, well, ever. If she's so broke how did she ever
pay someone to make the jackets?
And isn't Kevin broke too? Hasn't he been
complaining about business for a year now? Then how
is he supposed to pay Ryder enough money that he can
save up for his own place? How did Kevin afford a
new stereo? Surely Kevin can't afford to pay
anything more than minimum wage. And, let's face it,
there just aren't enough places to live in Genoa
City to begin with. That's probably why half the
town lives at the club.
How long do you think it takes Katherine to put on
all that jewelry? Let's be frank, the woman is no
spring chicken. She's wearing what looks to be about
a hundred pounds of chains around her neck and I
have a hard time believing she can even carry all
the weight without toppling over and breaking her
hip let alone spend the morning putting all of them
on. And is this really someone who should be doling
out relationship advice? Let's see, she killed her
first two husbands, she tricked her third husband
into marrying her, and was tricked herself into
marrying her fourth husband. And it seems to me
she's doing her best to avoid being seen with her
fifth husband, given how infrequently she's with
him. Yeah, she's a regular Dear Abby, alright.
Oh my God, who did that drawing of Victor for the
Restless Style cover? Because I want to pay them to
do equally hilarious drawings of everyone else on
this show and then use them in the opening credits.
Was it Daniel? Or did Billy just run down to the
local carnival and hire the caricaturist? Either way
that's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time,
and without a doubt, the best cover in Restless
Style's history.
If Billy's purchase of Restless Style didn't include
the building it was housed in, then I don't think he
read the fine print. Surely there was some sort of
rental agreement included in the contract. Then
again, I'm not even sure there was a contract. As
far as I could tell, he just handed Phyllis and Nick
and check and they left. I don't think the Wall
Street Journal is going to be doing any stories
about these business geniuses any time soon.
If they really want to do a juicy expose, forget
about Victor Newman. The real story is to be found
from the maids at Genoa City's athletic club. All
you have to do is fork over some cash and they'll
tell you who comes and goes from each of the guests'
rooms, and for a few extra dollars even let you into
those rooms. Not that you need a key or anything.
Abby barged right into Victor's room without a card
key or anything. Under most circumstances she would
have gotten an eyeful. Good thing she wasn't walking
into Sharon's room.
