I don't get why the men on this show are so okay with having their women fight their battles for them. Brooke confronted Karen and Katie to get Bill his company back and co-custody of the kid. Katie marched over to FC and gave Eric what for because he made Ridge and Brooke co-VPs. Quinn takes on everybody on behalf of Wyatt, Brooke kept Eric from moving Rick out of the CEO position. Caroline will clearly cut a bitch who dares to do anything she thinks is wrong to her husband. I guess it's supposed to be good to see strong women but it's like the men have to be weakened to compensate.

Dylan, Billy, and Victor are all vexed and perplexed by secrets. They should form a support group. Heh, maybe someone should take him to the dog park and let him run some of that yapping energy off. I loved the way that fake website was called Internet Search. I guess that's so no one confuses it with Easter Egg Hunt or Search for Tomorrow. Ew. Hello, Room Service? Do you have any industrial strength earplugs? No? How about a fire hose? Any day now Chloe will show up wearing a coat made out of 101 Dalmation pelts. So, wonder what the odds are that at some point Stitch is going to use the hospital's medical records system to find out what's going on with Victoria. Because he's just a chivalrous guy who looks out for the health of the ladies he gets preg--er, dates.

Not sure I agree with that. Yeah, Hilary eventually caved but Neil pursued her in a way which had him repeatedly violating her personal space and lording his taller height and larger physical presence over her. I'm not going to be surprised if he gets his panties in a twist about her talking to Devon (or some other guy) and starts causing problems for her at work. Neil had been reading some of Lily's girly magazines and he saw an article titled, "The Best Way to Get Over Your Lost Love? Get Under a New One." Neil took the advice but sort of got his prepositions confused. Really, I couldn't believe she had the nerve to be getting snarky about Sharon. I guess in her mind the romantic concept of One True Love only applies to her and Dylan. Wonder how long it'll take for Victor to decide that Sharon must have tried to kill Phyllis in order to maintain the big secret. Geez, can't that guy get a hobby? Like running a major international company?

Floved Sharon's outfit today. Very retro chic. Neil says, "Because I've seen a sign of Hilary that you haven't." Ew. So anyways, I'm guessing there are security cameras in the GCAC hallways and as the owner, Devon can access them. DUN, DUN, DUUUNNNN! Cover your eyes, Devon! Hmmm, in a potential streetfight between Abby and Mariah, I think I'd have to go with Mariah as the winner. She's ratchet enough to take off her earrings first and then proceed to pull Abby's hair extensions out. Meanwhile, Abby'd probably be too worried about breaking one of her manicured nails and would call her attorney to deal with it. But not to worry, Tyler knows how to stop an argument between his wimmens: step in between them all shiny and shirtless. Had to google those mixing bowls Avery was using because I thought that particular shade of blue was trademarked by Tiffany's. Guess not. Nah, there's not enough Viagra or Cialis in the universe to make that happen. There's a complicated system of pulleys and levers involved in getting anything like that going in his pants. It was developed by a secret division inside Newman Enterprises.

Yeah, especially since the poor boy doesn't have job. Where oh where will he ever get the money to pay his bills? But really, does Noah have access to his trust fund yet? The last thing I remember is that he couldn't get it until he was 25. That's why he had to go to work for Nick at the bar and live in a crappy apartment. Creepy McCreepster Victor has no shame. Now he's trying to figure out how to creep on a woman in a coma. Well then, we should all just start calling him Heisenberg. He is the one who knocks! A day or so ago it was Victor who might have BPD. Is there a theme developing here? That was slick the way Sharon got the phone away from Faith so she'd forget about calling grandpa Victor to brag about her soccer goal. For her next magical trick she'll pull a quarter out of Faith's ear. With Stitch's baby. Taking all bets, cash on the barrelhead. So Summer's the one he decided to cull from the herd? Why not Abby? They're both airheads. Yeah, Chloe will probably kidnap little Johnny next. Because Billy and Victoria are getting a new baby while she doesn't have even one. Wah, wah, wah. It's so not fair! Straitjacket? No! It doesn't match this cute outfit I got at Lauren's new boutique. Friends and family discount. Don't I look hot? Mr. DeMille, I'm ready now. NO WIRE COATHANGERS EVER!!!!

I'd say the iridescent blue dress she had on yesterday was one of them. Fug. Ly. I don't recall, did Sister Mary Abigail ever lecture Billy about breaking his wedding vows? So what did Stitch do, park in a red zone? Put his recyling in the wrong container? File his taxes late? Geez, writers, get on with it. The way they're trying to build up the suspense, whatever it turns out to be is almost guaranteed to be a let down. Smooth move by Tyler. Abby probably won't sign his prenup and he'll have open reign on her money after they're married. With that "surprise" ending, I see getting blackmailed in his future and he's gonna need the funds. Billy is pathetic. If he believes so strongly in his and Victoria's endless love, why does he have to keep whining to Stitch? Did anyone try to scan that QR code on Victoria's pregnancy kit box? For a prop it sure was realistic. Heh, wasn't that a Steve Miller song? No kidding, it looked like the No Tell Motel. "We welcome all one-hour quickies and stalkers who look like rich people's dead children." Are these people in high school because this sounds like some GCHS dramaz involving a cheerleader, a couple of jocks from the football team, and her muscular but slightly slow half-brother who the team lets serve as their water boy.

Didn't Dave Chapelle already cover some of this territory with the Clayton Bigsby character? I don't think the writers are trying to do that. Aaron Mcgruder's stuff--for the most part--seemed to have an underlying intelligent message. What's being shown now, IMO, is base sitcom drivel which simply goes for cheap laughs. This Boondocks looks on the surface like the original show but as best as I can tell it's no more than a poorly re-constructed imitation which has the minor advantage of being able to wear some of the original's clothing.

I'm not sure Devon picked up on Neil and Hilary's behavior and knows they slept together. I think the scene left it sort of ambiguous but maybe it was just BJ's failure to convey the disgust Devon must have been feeling. It's probably going to lead to his dropping her like a hot rock once he's gotten enough of his rocks off. In Neil's "don't hate the playa, hate the game" mind, Hilary is now tainted goods because she didn't have enough willpower to withstand his pressure. I still see a sexual harassment complaint in Neil's future but Hilary's not helping her case by being such a googly-eyed fool. Seriously, I think he has a near pathological disregard for normal interpersonal boundaries. And the sad thing is, Nick, Nikki, and Victoria are so used to it that it doesn't really bother them for more than a little while. The other people who also get hurt by Victor's schemes to PROTECTMYFAMILYEVENTHOUGHMYPROTECTIONENDSUPHURTINGTHEMWORSE? Collateral damage.

I think maybe we're supposed to believe that Hilary was screaming. Because Shiny Hairless Manboobs Neil is just that good. /vomit Guess we now know where that money went, huh? It seems Ian and FauxCassie perhaps targeted Victor and the Newmans et al from the jump. Once the truth comes out that'll probably end up being Victor's Path to forgiveness from Nick.

That's the way I interpreted it. Which means she's really just stringing Wyatt along. IMO, he should have told her he wasn't going to get played like that and don't come back crying to him when Liam breaks her heart again. IKR? Either she was or she wasn't, there's no "almost". I guess every time Hope's period is late that means she's almost pregnant? Liam must have gone to one of those schools with the "abstinence only" curriculum because the boy is clueless about basic human sexuality.

There's a new trailer: http://youtu.be/Shn1mPejr_4 I'm looking forward to this. I read the book and from the trailer it appears to be a fairly faithful (no pun intended) adaptation. It might help that the book's author is involved in the production of the show.

I just saw the actress who played Bianca on the reboot AMC in a McDonald's commercial. That's big time. I also heard that she played an underaged hooker on the Dallas reboot just this past season but apparently she was so tarted up that I didn't recognize her.

It's odd to me how Devon is so intimidated by Hilary. It's not as if she's a foot taller than him like somebody esme, uh, else we know. IKR? Is that crap supposed to be romantic? I hope this isn't leading to some 50 shades b.s. like they did on B&B. Sigh, Jack always goes into 5th gear right off the bat. He'll probably be proposing to Kelly in a month or so. Exactly. Neil should know better. Hah! Except I'm not convinced the good doctor actually exists. That name couldn't sound more fake. And maybe guilt doesn't keep Jack warm in his bed at night, nahmtalkinbout? Like about six inches, nahmtalkinbout? (Meh, it's probably more like three.) Aim lower. Much lower.

I think Liam's had Hope to himself plenty already, through a gazillion engagements, at least one completed wedding, and a brief not-legal-in-the-US marriage. Yep. What I don't understand is why Hope would go along with the "you can't sleep with Wyatt" rule. Liam basically just told her she has to break up with Wyatt. Maybe Hope should stop playing games with these boys and letting them treat her like an object. (And I'm not Team Wyatt either. He knew she was on the rebound and he knew Liam would never be out of Hope's life. There's been a countdown clock running the whole time, I think.)

Oh, no, I don't want to see that. Sharon get mindfcuked enough by the Newmans without bringing a professional manipulator like Ian into her life. Sharon could use a break, IMO.

The whole time I was watching them I was wondering how you break up with somebody in a coma. Is there an etiquette rule for that? I'm thinking a simple text should suffice. Cue the arrival of the notorious Aussie cattle mafia in GC. Anybody taking bets on how long it'll be before the twins are kidnapped? Next up, more Lily screeching and Cane chest-beating.

Poor Connor is like, "Aw geez, my mom is kissing that high school kid who tried to kill my dad? I know how to put a stop to this nonsense!" Man, if there was ever someone who needed a punch in the throat it was Neil right then and there. Leslie should have offered him a Midol. Yeah, right up until the moment he summons Tyler to his office to sign a prenup. Because he will not let some young punk steal his daughter's money in a divorce settlement. YAGOTTHAT!? Hope on the way home he dropped by CVS for a jumbo pack of extra strength Midol. He sure seemed to be needing it. LOL. And then they started braiding each other's hair and giggling about boys. She's like software Terms and Conditions. Nobody reads Leslie. Let the church say amen.

At that point she wasn't sleeping with both of them though, was she? When Ally gets wind of Hope seeing two guys at the same time, she's going to go supernova and probably liken it to Hope having a threeway. As much as I hate to see Oliver trying seduce a naive, virginal, and emotionally fragile girl, he has definitely had a calming influence on Ally. Maybe he should get extra pay to serve as her "handler" (or to be more blunt, her gigolo). Then Hope can be free to audition Liam and Wyatt simultaneously for the future position of husband, co-parent, and lover without Ally going apeshite. Meanwhile, does Liam actually have a job? It seems like he spends most of his time roaming the halls of FC trying to interfere in Hope's life. And I just love the way Hope, Liam, and Wyatt can take off at any time to fly to Hawaii or Aspen, or take an impromptu road trip up the California coast. Who does their work when they just up and disappear to deal with their ever-so-important romantic problems?

That's so it'll make sense when Tyler asks Noah to be his best man. Who else is he gonna ask, Neil or Devon? Neil is an obvious non-starter and I don't think Tyler and Devon are exactly drinking buddies either. I still don't understand why Chelsea doesn't have a peephole. She just swings open the door to be surprised by whoever's standing there. One of them mentioned the doorman but I guess he's just there to accept packages or something. What's to keep crazypants Chloe from showing up with a gun aimed at her? Ugh, I hated that entire scene. It's bad enough to watch two women arguing over a man but to do it in front of the man is just vomit-inducing. (And I don't like when the genders are reversed either; looking at you, B&B). And she said it right in front of his date. Since when is Ashley that desperate? Stitch was a straight-up pimp. He not only had two women arguing in public over him at his job, his bottom bitch came to pick him up and brought him food which she paid for. All he was out of was a change of clothes and he's probably going to get laid right in that empty patient's room. Work it, Stitch.

IKR? It's certainly awful for any woman to be raped under any circumstances but Cersei just now has a problem with being screwed by her brother? Or was it the setting she objected to? They did sort of desecrate the corpse of both their son and their former king.

Somehow I don't think Lorne was going to kill him unless it was absolutely necessary. I think he mainly wanted to create an alibi for killing the police chief earlier at Lester's house. Now he's been placed as being somewhere else within the same relative time frame and the deputy cop will remember the encounter but be hesitant to report it.

Oh, so the party's moved over into this thread? Yeah, a couple of days ago I had drafted a comment invoking Allen and Roman Polanski as a comparison but I forgot to save it so it's lost in the ether. Anyways...there are any number of Hollywood types who've behaved very badly and have come back from it. Charlie Sheen anyone? However, those people generally already had major track records in Hollywood as being money makers and/or darlings of the arts critics. MM, best as I can tell, mostly has a noisy and fiercely loyal fan base. A fan base which, like cats, seems to be able to puff up to look bigger and scarier than it perhaps actually is. I don't think he's been blacklisted (except maybe in soaps) and I'm sure he'll get work again eventually. However, IMO he hasn't acquired enough juice to make it okay for him to be either a public or backstage jerk--or worse--with impunity. Maybe that was one of the lessons he needed to learn.

Yeah, I wondered about that too. I thought lawyer/client confidentiality would ethically prevent Micheal from discussing any of it with Jeffery. (Hah, MichaelBaldwin and ethics. It's a joke.) The only thing Jeff would be entitled to know is if he inherited anything from Adam's estate. That'd be interesting if he knows something's there for him because he helped Adam escape and his payoff was in the will. It'd have to be a fairly recent will, though, no? Especially if you abuse your spouses as much as he does. Whenever Victor gives advice about marriage, you should probably do the exact opposite. But before that, how about a nice glass of milk, a cookie, and bedtime story? I guess I'm not up on engagement party etiquette. Since when do you have to bring a gift to someone both for their engagement and later for their wedding? Gah, greedy much? ICAM, that was some cold ish, especially since she kind of led him on. Can't say he doesn't deserve it though.

Maybe not. Joe Morton has taken a lead role on a pilot for a hospital drama (on cable) and Jake has pretty much closed the book by giving David all the B613 dirt (unless it was fakery to put David off the scent). I think B613 will be put on the back burner for a while. Surely SR realizes now that it was a poor plot device. Me too. She needs to take out Tom too. He's been stabbing her in the back for a while now. Turnabout would only be fair play.

OMG, that bed was ridiculous. It was like something left over from the Anne Rice Interview with the Vampire Louisiana Gothic furniture line sold at Sears. Because Sears has everything. "Um, Victor, your sons do not do it like this." And the call from from Alicia. Wonder if that was a shout-out to The Good Wife. CBS is doing a lot of cross-promotion lately. Take away her one and only chance to put on a long white dress and walk down a church aisle? I'm surprised she isn't at least on marriage #2 by now. And again, I have to wonder how Victor's going to be there to give her away because whenever he enters a church I expect him to be struck by lightning. Thanks for doing these. I FF through certain things (like the Shick softpornfest) and your recaps keep me laughingly informed.
