Sperm? The Letter! Big
Cat-Fight Fizzles Out! Newman, a 40-something-year-old floor pacer from Genoa City, had the potential for sending the boxing world into a tizzy but it just didn't happen. Seemingly everyone at the RoadKill Cafe weighed in about the Friday fight. Some were incensed the two women didn't rip each others eyes out but Carlton would not allow it. "I think it's deplorable," said Sidney Kushner, a long-time RoadKill Cafe patron who was slurping over a bowl of eyeball soup at the time. "It wasn't symbolic of womanpower. I've seen better. If I weren't so busy eating I would have pulled Carlton away so those bitches could get their frustrations out." "I was frustrated" Jenkins told the GCNews. "I wanted to smash Nikki's face in so bad. But I guess you're going to get a little frustrated when you can't do what you want to do. It's like a kid in the candy store who can't touch the candy." November 1999 Mail Theft Charge
Unlikely! There isn't much local law enforcement can do. Currently in this state, mail theft is only a misdemeanor that includes a maximum of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Clearly that's not enough to deter people like Jenkins and Carlton. It is a federal crime to steal mail. But unless a police officer is able to call in the feds, the crime goes virtually unpunished. And the FBI only has the resources to track major thefts. Based on the information it would appear Diane Jenkins and Brad Carlton will not have to worry about facing criminal charges. Jenkins Demands
Newman Sperm! January 2000 Ex
To The Nex? But a chance for romance? It was the last thing we saw coming. But Victor Newman never fails to surprise us. Always one to turn to a former wife in a time of need, Vic has bypassed his beloved Ashley Abbott and gone for Mrs. Anorexia to be his late night comforter. Diane, who seems to be just as shocked as us, was all aglow at the RoadKill Cafe after receiving a call from the Great One. Insiders believe that Newman has not gone insane, but is just looking for a way to get his apartment back. Could Diane be double-crossed by a lover yet again for posh real estate, or can dreams come true twice? Let’s just hope ol’ Vic remembers to break out the pre-nup this time. Victor
Newman - Homeless? February 2000 DEAL
MADE, SPERM MISSING! JENKINS
REFUSES TO MOVE! "Move out? Hell no! I've got a history in that apartment" Diane Jenkins said when asked if she would accept her former husband's offer. "The best plan I can think of right now is for Victor and I to share the apartment" Jenkins said. Victor Newman is not expected to accept the offer unless there are certain perks to go along. "You know me. Women all but beg me for sex. They like an old man who can have sex more than once a month. If Ms. Jenkins is offering her body I might consider moving in with her. We'll have to wait and see what her final offer is" Newman said. NEWMAN SPERM IS MISSING! Whoever took the sperm better be prepared to face Jenkins wrath. When last seen Jenkins hissed "there will be hell to pay!" and added she has no intention of reporting the incident to authorities. The loss of Newman's sperm is Jenkins own fault. When she first moved into the apartment she issued instructions to her personal butt wiper (Marissa Barton) and the front desk that visitors must be announced. Jenkins didn't want people to just be able to appear outside her door. Over time however Jenkins has allowed people to come and go as they please. In a related development, it has been learned Jenkins will soon sell her apartment back to Victor Newman. Details of the sale were not immediately available but were said to include at least one major stipulation. Newman Admits Stealing Sperm! Quite the contrary according to Jenkins as she advised Nikki - "we will both be living under the same roof. By the way, it was foolish for you to break into my apartment." "So you looked in the closet" Nikki crowed as she all but admitted she stole the sperm. "It was foolish of you to go to the lab and pretend to be me" Nikki hissed. "I'm Mrs. Newman too" Jenkins fired back adding she is more Mrs. Newman because she's living with the man. "You bitch!" Nikki snarled just as Victor walked in. "What are you doing here?" he asked Nikki. "You enticed me here" she said still thinking that Victor had given her flowers for Valentine's Day. But before Victor could reply Nikki went on to say "What are you buying your new roommate? His and her towels" as she turned and stormed out. March 2000 March2000 Sperm Detective Update Jenkins left a message and later, while in the kitchen throwing some hamburger helper together for Victor Newman, the phone rang. Newman picked up and instead of putting Jenkins on the line took a message from detective Davies. When Jenkins returned from the kitchen, all of twenty feet away, Newman delivered the message. There's an update on the search. "What kind of search is he talking about", Newman asked. Jenkins' bony jaw nearly hit the floor as she searched for an explanation. Instead of thinking of an answer Jenkins should have been thinking about a question. How does one find missing sperm? Is detective Davies stopping people on the street and asking "excuse me, my client has lost some sperm. Have you seen any laying around in the gutter?" This case is another example of the many unbelievable events taking place in Genoa City. Missing
Sperm Turns Up! Missing Sperm Reappears Nikki Newman recently implied she swiped the sperm sample from Jenkins' apartment where the sticky substance was being held hostage in a portable cryogenic freezer. During a meeting with Jack Abbott, Mrs. Newman was heard saying "This will make what I am about to do much easier." The statement could have been a hint she planned to return the sperm. However, there are conflicting facts in the case. First, the freezer was left behind at Jenkins' apartment. Sperm cannot simply be stashed in an ordinary refrigerator. If it had been, the sperm has almost certainly gone 'flat' and of little use to anyone. Second, Ashley Abbott has a key to Jenkins' apartment and could have taken the sperm. But how did she gain access without being seen? Third, it's thought Abbott had herself impregnated during a recent stopover in Chicago but during the time period, Jenkins supposedly was in possession of the sperm. Again, if Abbott managed to steal the sperm before leaving for Chicago, how did she keep it frozen? Sperm
Mystery Continues Jenkins Plan - Use The Sperm! Jones informed Newman the lab is in possession of his sperm sample and requested information regarding what action the lab should take. Should the lab mail the sperm to someone? Make a milk shake with it? What? "I thought it was gone", Newman said adding he didn't want the lab to do anything with his sperm until he has had more time to think. While thinking, Newman might want to contemplate how he knew the sperm was gone since nobody has ever told him. The lab didn't tell. Diane Jenkins didn't tell and Nikki Newman would never have told. In fact, nobody has ever told Newman his sperm had gone anywhere. So what made him think it was gone? Having heard most of the conversation, Newman's roommate, Diane Jenkins, later told her personal butt wiper she's got to make sure Nikki Newman doesn't get her hands on the sperm. To that end, Jenkins has announced plans to use the sperm herself! Sperm Thief
Revealed! Newman confirms she took the sperm and made arrangements for its return to the local sperm bank. How she managed to keep the sperm refrigerated for days was not immediately disclosed. April 2000 Newman Having Memory Lapses! Jenkins Reported Ovulating! Jenkins To Prepare Meal Fit For King (Genoa City) -- With Victor Newman back at the Newman penthouse suite from a quick trip to Maine with Ashley Abbott, Diane Jenkins was anxious to learn what the man she loves had been up to. "I'm curious. Tell me more about your trip", Jenkins pressed as Newman looked on suspiciously. "You didn't call the jet by any chance did you? There were a couple of calls but they hung up", Newman remarked. "I'd never do that. I'd check with your secretary. I was thinking of calling you. We didn't make final arrangements for our dinner tonight. Would you like to eat here", Jenkins said quickly changing the subject. "That would be fine. Would you make that chicken piccata I like so much", Newman asked and his wish was granted on the spot. As Newman went off to change clothes Jenkins thought to herself. "What do you have up your sleeve? You remember the piccata. It's happening! What else can it mean?" Belly Rubbing Fetish Underway As Baldwin left the penthouse, Jenkins began what is expected to be a series of instances during which she will touch and rub her swollen belly. "What are you up to Victor? You’re not waltzing out this time. You won’t be able to", Jenkins said to herself. I'm Pregnant! (Genoa City) -- Diane Jenkins' exclamation of glee could be heard virtually for miles after viewing the results of a home pregnancy test. Secluded in Victor Newman's penthouse suite upstairs bathroom, which may present a problem if Jenkins starts having morning sickness, Jenkins yelped, "I'm pregnant!" Anxious to tell Victor Newman he's going to be a daddy, Jenkins placed a call to the Newman jet but hung up abruptly when Ashley Abbott answered. But why would Jenkins want to tell Newman at this early stage of the game and why doesn't a fancy penthouse apartment have a bathroom on the main floor? For weeks, Jenkins has constantly cooed to her personal butt wiper, Marissa Barton, about "how close" she and Victor are becoming, but all Newman does is walk through the front door, grunt at her, grab a drink, plop down on a designer couch and for the most part ignores Jenkins. If Jenkins does get to speak with Newman his comment is usually something like, "did I hear the dinner bell?" However, as millions of American wives can attest, it just might be true love since Newman is acting like - a husband! No wonder Jenkins is confused. May 2000 Jenkins Receives Pasta! Jenkins Gets Earful! Jenkins Vows Revenge! (Genoa City) -- Visually upset after Victor Newman gave her notice to move out of his penthouse apartment, Diane Jenkins summoned attorney Michael Baldwin Thursday to rant and rave. As a pal, Baldwin told Jenkins he tried telling her Newman didn't want her skeleton bones anymore. "Just get out of here!", Jenkins spat at Baldwin who, if he weren't such a nice guy, should have told Jenkins to shove it where the sun don't shine and stop summing him every time the least little thing goes wrong. Realizing what an ass she is, Jenkins quickly apologized for her bad attitude and then began rubbing her belly. "I may have something that will help. I'm not going to tell you until I'm sure that we'll take action. First, we need to go after the bitch who seduced him [Newman] away", Jenkins said giving Baldwin an immediate clue that Jenkins was speaking about Ashley Abbott. Jenkins was incensed. "What are her weak points", she asked. Baldwin warned Jenkins not to mess with the Abbott's and certainly don't go looking for a fight with Ashley Abbott unless Jenkins is sure Ashley is the new woman in Newman's life. Newman Seeks Companionship - Will
Evict Jenkins! Newman, Abbott Spotted At Restaurant! Newman Gives Jenkins Eviction Notice! Baby Mix-Up Another Showdown When Newman
Asks Abbott To Move In! Jenkins Won't Move! Jenkins
Moving Day! June 2000 Jenkins Reports Pregnancy! At her side, Jenkins personal butt wiper, Marissa Barton, urged Jenkins not to rush because, "The baby comes first." Still, Jenkins continued to stress. "I can’t lose this baby. It’s my only leverage if I expect to get Victor back. I want to be able to control how he finds out. I haven’t figured out how to tell him yet." As Jenkins lay down on a sofa to rest, the great Victor Newman returned. "Oh Victor! I’m sorry. I’m way behind. I’ll be gone soon", she patronized. Newman could tell right away that Jenkins didn't seem to be herself. "Are you all right? You seem to be acting strangely", Newman said. As Jenkins reached down to pick up a box Barton shouted, "Diane, don’t do that!" Anxious to learn more Newman asked again, "Why are you acting this way?" Jenkins paused and then blurt out, "I didn’t want you to know. I’m pregnant. I’m expecting a child." Newman Has Change Of Heart! Elated, Jenkins informed her personal butt wiper, Mariss Barton, that the pregnancy she thinks was created with Newman's sperm is beginning to pay off. "This child is going to keep me in Victor's life for a very long time. No doubt about it", Jenkins stated. In a related development, Newman received an equal amount of good news when loyal employee, Neil Winters, informed him that Brad Carlton is the man who came up with $35-million dollars needed to help Jabot Cosmetics meet its May balloon loan payment. Jenkins Pulls Home Offer! July 2000 UNEMPLOYED ARCHITECT
CRUMBLES IN PAIN! "Mr. Newman came home, refused to eat dinner and was very grumpy. He demanded to know why Diane didn't give him his important telephone messages first and when Diane said she needed help dealing with that bitchy daughter of his, Victor told her to deal with it or get out!" Barton said. "Well, that must have been a shock because the next thing I knew Diane was doubled over in pain. We called the paramedics and they hauled her away. I'm worried she's going to lose the baby." JENKINS REPORTED IN STABLE
CONDITION NEWMAN BRAT NEEDS
A GOOD WHACKING! Jenkins said she does know who the father is but didn't tell Mr. Newman because she didn't think he needed to know. "Knowing you, you have something up your sleeve. Why don't you spit it out right now!" Ms. Newman demanded. It wasn't immediately known whether Jenkins was able to find the strength to bitch slap the little brat. C4D PATIENT
EXPOSED TO STRESS! Knowing her father, the great Victor Newman, has a bad habit of making babies and then forgetting about them, Ms. Newman yelped the reason her father recently obtained a vasectomy was because he didn't want a baby with Jenkins. In addition, Newman said she's certain Jenkins had a one night stand and is now milking it to get sympathy. Jenkins seemed unable to respond except to say Newman was "having a fantasy." Recently admitted to the C4D after experiencing stomach pain, doctors have ordered Jenkins to avoid stress. August 2000 JENKINS FINDS COURAGE,
NEWMAN SHOCKED! Barging her way into Newman's office during business hours, Jenkins rambled on about how much the last few months of living out of wedlock with a stud have meant to her. Jenkins said she's certain Newman really cares about her and her baby and she's pleased as punch they have put their differences behind them. However, Jenkins pointed out Newman's recent vasectomy did leave a hole in her heart because, "I really wanted to have your baby." Newman didn't seem to understand what point Jenkins was trying to make until she said, "I’m making up for that right now. You see, the child I’m having is yours!" SHE DID IT FOR LOVE! "When he had surgery he stored a sperm sample. I used that to get pregnant. I did it out of love," Jenkins said. "I didn’t want a child with her while we were married. I certainly don’t want a child with her now that we’re divorced. What she did is against the law. It was deceitful and morally reprehensible. I could have her arrested and thrown in jail for this. She's a woman with no scruples," Newman argued. "Victor made the deposit while we were married. It can be considered an undeclared joint asset," Jenkins persisted. In a rage, Newman told Jenkins to get out of his sight. As she left, Jenkins spat, "Just remember one thing. I’m the mother of your child." JENKINS PLAN? MAKE NEWMAN
PAY! At his Newman Enterprises office, the great Victor Newman continued to fume over news he fathered the Jenkins baby. "That woman is the most manipulative, deceitful woman I've ever met," Newman said of Jenkins. Newman also confirmed that on March 24, 2000, he gave the Robertson Sperm Lab oral instructions to keep his sperm on ice. And, on April 7, 2000, there was an instruction from a woman claiming to be his wife to transfer the sample. "One way or another that woman is going to pay," Newman mumbled. Pregnant Woman Jenkins Drop Bomb! September 2000 The Big Question! Jenkins recently told Newman that she is pregnant with the baby Newman wishes she could have and that the father is the one and only, the great Victor Newman. Under normal circumstances such news would have driven Nikki Newman to the bottle but from the moment she first heard Nikki has been unusually calm. Speculation has it that the former Mrs. Newman isn't worried because she knows Jenkins really isn't pregnant with Victor's baby. The question of who swiped Newman's sperm and what happened to it before it reappeared has never been resolved. Are We A Family Yet? What Jenkins doesn't know is that Newman has read the letter sent to him by a local sperm lab outlining certain "irregularities" involving his semen sample. October 2000 Ruthless Deal Made! During a meeting at Newman's penthouse suite Monday, Jenkins blasted Love for making a "surprise attack" on the man she loves adding she fears the story of her pregnancy will become public too soon. "Are you questioning my investigative skills? I was married to the man," Love retorted. Jenkins quickly agreed to give Love exclusive rights to her story provided Love waits until Jenkins gives the word to go public. Before agreeing to the deal Love asked if Jenkins has plans to marry Newman and whether her baby is really a Newman. Jenkins refused to comment on marriage but did say she knows "without a shadow of a doubt" the baby will be another heir to the Newman empire. Strike Three! Jenkins was concerned however, about a letter Victor Newman, the man she claims is the father of her child, received from Robertson Sperm Labs. According to Jenkins, the letter, "Got his [Newman's] boxers in a bundle" but reaffirmed she is, "A survivor" and "Won’t let this get me down." Jenkins added there is no doubt, "This is Victor Newman’s child. When he sees me with his child in my arms it will be an entirely different ball game." Verbal Fireworks! Calling Ms. Newman "Vikki", Jenkins blasted back she doesn't have to hide from anyone. In retaliation, Ms. Newman hissed that Jenkins won't be living with her daddy long and advised Jenkins, "Don't call me Vikki." Jenkins seized the opportunity to get in another dig, "So what should I call you? Princess?" The event was interrupted when the great Victor Newman appeared, showed his daughter out and noticed a big box. "It’s a crib for our baby. Our baby needs someplace to sleep," Jenkins said adding the guest room should be converted into a nursery which would mean the guest would have to leave. Outraged, Newman accused Jenkins of having a lot of nerve and asked again, "Exactly what do you want?" "I love my child. I’ll do anything to protect it. I want our baby to grow up in a loving home with two parents [but] I’ll have this baby with or without you," Jenkins spewed. Take This Job And Shove It! Frustrated, Jenkins showed up at the RoadKill Cafe for a lunch date with her personal butt wiper, Marisa Barton, and received a cellular call from Victor Newman informing Jenkins that he would be moving out of the penthouse. Newman refused to say where he was going or how long he would be gone. Sensing her employer's disillusionment, Barton made an attempt to write the news off as no big deal. "Shut up! I'm not up to this right now," Jenkins snapped leaving Barton thunderstruck. Similar scenarios have taken place in the past leaving some to wonder why, just once, Barton doesn't tell Jenkins to take her job and shove it! November 2000 Paternity Test! "It's none of your business!" Newman squawked just as another former wife, Nikki Newman, interrupted the fray. With claws extended, Nikki Newman cautioned Jenkins, "Be careful what you wish for. "You'll never get Victor." Jenkins claims to be pregnant with Newman's unborn baby after having herself artificially inseminated with what she thinks was Newman's sperm. Jenkins sees her baby, due to be born on January 5, as a ticket to Newman's heart. "That will never happen. I’ll have a paternity test done as soon as the baby is born," Newman said Friday. The Jenkins Itinerary! The Genoa City News has learned that Diane Jenkins, one of the many former wives of the great Victor Newman, will set out on a trip to Kansas! According to an airline agent for We Fly You Anywhere Air who wished to remain anonymous, Jenkins has booked a flight to Kansas which will leave just prior to Christmas and arrive in Kansas on December 26. "It all depends on whether or not there are tail winds. As you know, our 474's are not as fast as a 747 but I would guess the arrival date is fairly accurate," the agent said. WFYAA flies to all destinations world-wide at a moments notice. Regular fliers praise the airline for its short check in procedure. Most notably, author Cole Howard, while living at the Newman ranch, was able to book a flight at the very last moment and get to the airport in time even though the Newman ranch is more than an hour's drive away. Reliable sources tell the Genoa City News that Jenkins has made arrangements with a Kansas limousine company which will drive her directly to the farm of well known farmer and vegetable washer, Hope Adams Newman Wilson. Mrs. Wilson was married to Victor Newman but, like so many others, the marriage failed. The couple produced a son, Victor Newman, Jr., whom Newman hardly knows and Mrs. Wilson retains full custody. Wilson departed Genoa City with mystery man Dr. Kurt Costner. Costner was thought to have spent some time working on Wilson's farm but his immediate whereabouts is unknown. December 2000 Jenkins Break Down! "I thought when Victor heard I was carrying his baby we’d spend this time together. I was really fooled," Jenkins sniveled. "I haven’t seen him [Newman] since the last time we talked. He's been at the ranch with that bitch Nikki [Newman]. She’s probably digging her claws into him. I misjudged Victor’s reaction to my baby. He could care less about either of us," Jenkins added and then broke down in tears. Jenkins recently had herself artificially inseminated with what she thought was Victor Newman's sperm. Newman has vowed to have a paternity test performed as soon as the baby is born. She's Boss! For years Barton has acted as Jenkins girl Friday performing such tasks as balancing the Jenkins checking account, running errands, taking messages and being a general sounding board for Jenkins to cry on. In recent days Barton has become restless. With nothing to do she has repeatedly asked her employer for permission to decorate Victor Newman's penthouse suite apartment where Jenkins continues to reside under a deal worked out with her former husband. Distraught that Newman has 'abandoned' her and her unborn baby, Jenkins has had no interest in such meaningless things as Christmas decorations. Apparently learning of Barton's eagerness to do something worthwhile for a change, the Clueless Detective agency administrative assistant, Lynne 'Yes-Boss' Bassett offered the job to Barton just prior to her employer's expected departure on an extended trip to Hong Kong. In addition, Bassett will handle all alarm company matters and outside detectives have been retained to handle pending private investigations. Jenkins Allows Belly Rub! It must have been fate that allowed Dane Jenkins on Friday to find out the information she so desperately needed. Jenkins traveled all the way to Kansas hoping that Hope Wilson would tell whether or not her former husband, Victor Newman, had abandoned his youngest child, Victor Newman Jr. At first, Wilson thought Jenkins was a reporter looking to dig up dirt on Newman and refused to talk. But, when she remembered she had forgotten to pick up a pecan pie she had ordered from the Central Diner days earlier, Wilson returned to the diner where she was again confronted by Jenkins. This time, Jenkins pointed to her belly and said she needed to talk with Wilson about what was inside. Wilson rubbed Jenkins belly and then proclaimed, "You're pregnant." Wilson told Jenkins that the great Victor Newman did not abandon his son. Those words were all Jenkins traveled miles to hear. She thanked Wilson and then told herself that Newman would never abandon her or her soon to be born child. Newman Seeks Help! "She left suddenly. Her car is here in the garage. I need to know where she is," Newman pleaded. Always Johnny on the spot, the ace detective began tossing questions at Newman. "Could she be visiting family?" Why Clueless would ask such a question can only be attributed to his stupidity as most people in Genoa City don't have families. Clueless got on the phone and in a flash was able to report that Jenkins did not use her credit card to buy an airline ticket but she did rent a limousine for the weekend from what Clueless termed, "A prestigious firm." Instead of asking Clueless to call the limousine company for more information Newman declared, "So we’ve come to a dead end." "At least for the moment," Clueless replied. Newman also implied he wants a surveillance system installed inside the Newman penthouse because Jenkins and Leanna Love are up to something and he needs to hear every word. "I wish I could do it for you Victor but I’m leaving town with my wife. She has a job in Hong Kong and I’m going with her," the dorky detective said proudly until it dawned on him that Newman wanted action. "I’ll get my associate Terrence Kelly to do the job. He’s the best in the field. Consider it done," Clueless assured the great man. Jenkins Spotted In Kansas! Get Out Of Town! At the Central Diner, Wilson picked up on the deception as soon as Jenkins asked about Victor Newman, Jr. Unlike most in Genoa City who are willing to give out personal information to total strangers, Wilson took exception to Jenkins' prying and accused her of being a reporter trying to dig up dirt on former husband, Victor Newman, or trying to get her hands on some of the Newman fortune. Jenkins persistence ran into a brick wall. Wilson declared the conversation over and ordered Jenkins to get out of town. January 2001 Personal Butt
Wiper Quits! Jenkins Baby Arrives! As predicted, socialite Diane Jenkins has given birth to a bouncing baby boy. Rushed to Genoa City's Center 4 Disease by attorney Michael Baldwin after developing stomach pains, Jenkins' child popped out almost right on schedule. Created by artificial insemination, Jenkins claims Newman Enterprises giant, Victor Newman is the biological father. Charging Jenkins with being, "A dangerous woman," Newman has denied fatherhood and vows to obtain a paternity test which may reveal that in fact, Jabot Cosmetics CEO, Jack Abbott, is the father. Away In a Manger! 'HEIR BORN TO VICTOR NEWMAN' Based on the headline, Genoa City residents might have thought the second coming of Christ had taken place as the Chronicle has never made such a big fuss over the birth of any Newman child. Had the Chronicle researched its story it would have reported that the paternity of Diane Jenkins' baby is uncertain and that a test is pending to determine who the father is. In a related development, Ms. Jenkins, who prefers to be addressed as Mrs. Newman, revealed she's named the baby Christian Victor Newman. Hospital officials confirmed the name has been entered on the birth certificate. His heir-ship to the Newman empire questionable, Christian Newman appears destined to grow up a very confused child. Unlike Victor Newman, JR, who has a fairly non-dysfunctional mother and lives far away from the moral decay found in Genoa City, the youngest person temporarily carrying the Newman name faces the possibility of having his last and middle names changed and his mother may develop a severe case of postpartum blues which could cause young Newman to wind up being raised by two totally non-related persons. Hospital Policy Change? New mother Diane Jenkins was the first affected by the change. Although she had months to think about a name for her baby Jenkins didn't have one when the time came for her departure from the C4D. A nurse made it absolutely clear Jenkins would have to supply a name for her baby before she could leave. Prior to the policy change, new mothers like Ashley Carlton were allowed to phone the hospital medical records department with the names of their babies long after they had left the hospital. You Conniving Bitch!' Victoria Newman objected to the name claiming Jenkins is no longer married
to the great Victor Newman and thus had every right to the Newman name. Jenkins promptly
told Newman what she did is legal and to stuff the objection where the sun don’t
shine. “Accept this new member of the illustrious Newman family,” Jenkins
hissed at Ms. Newman when the room had cleared. When Jenkins returned from her jaunt, Newman asked if she was enjoying her fifteen minutes of fame. Claiming not to know what he was talking about, Jenkins went off to get a drink of water giving Newman a chance to peer into the bassinet for a closer look at the baby. Paternity Test Complete! Ms. Jenkins tried to compose herself upon learning of the change and for some reason her former butt wiper, Marissa Barton, was on hand when the announcement was made. Barton did as she was told when Newman ordered her to accompany Jenkins and the baby to the medical appointment. Due in one week, the paternity test result should reveal that Newman is not the father of the Jenkins baby. In related developments, Jenkins was warned again by Leanna Love to allow photographs of the baby or risk having Newman told about her plotting. Apparently aware that Newman would unlikely give Love the time of day, Jenkins told Love a law suit would be forthcoming if the harassment doesn't stop. Meantime, Victor Newman sought legal advice from all-purpose attorney, John Silva. Newman was informed that if indeed he is the father of the Jenkins baby he will be able to file for custody. Why Newman pays Silva for worthless legal opinions remains a mystery. And, proving again how clueless he is, detective Paul Williams informed Newman that the real private detective they hired has a surveillance system in place and that Jenkins had not yet caught on. Go Rot In Hell! In fact, Victor Newman doesn't really want any woman. The most powerful man in Genoa City, Newman goes through women like a drug addict using one woman to get high and then moving on to another when the high wears off. So why Diane Jenkins was dumb enough to drop her baby and run to Newman's office here Monday nobody knows for sure. While not immediately known, it appears Jenkins left former butt-wiper Marissa Barton in charge of the baby. Although Barton gave up her toilet paper duties in exchange for employment at the Clueless Detective & Alarm Company, she apparently loves being treated like a wash rag and has been seen hanging around the Newman penthouse suite. Without being challenged, Jenkins entered Newman's personal air space and explained how their lives could have been so different. If she had made it known how much she wanted a child while they were married Newman's former wife would never have been able to worm her way back into his life convincing Victor to have another vasectomy. Impatient with Jenkins' babbling Newman hissed, "I never wanted to have a child with you. Is that clear enough for you?" Regardless of how many times Newman basically told Jenkins to go rot in hell Jenkins persisted. "You will have the proof that Christian is your child in a few days. I want to help you reconcile your thought about this. Christian needs to have a father. He’s your flesh & blood. It would be a sin for you to deny that." The nerve of a woman who stole his sperm outraged Newman. "You are a conniving woman. Don’t you ever talk to me about sin," Newman growled as he left the poor woman standing alone to ponder her next move. Great Man Blows Off Reverend! Socialite Diane Jenkins summoned a man of the cloth to the Newman 35th floor penthouse apartment Thursday and as the two were discussing the christening of baby Christen, Newman appeared. The Reverend Jace cordially greeted Newman and added it was nice to see that the baby's father was apparently interested in such an important event in a child's life. Instead of simply telling the reverend that the baby's mother was getting a little ahead of herself, Newman put a stop to the meeting and growled, "It’s premature given the circumstances." A befuddled Reverend Jace told Jenkins he would return when she had agreed with Newman on a time and as he departed undoubtedly said to himself, what a rude, self-serving. indignant man that was. Spousally
Challenged Women Meet! Jenkins was again minus her new baby which she apparently has found a place to stash whenever she goes on jaunts around the city. Told Michael Baldwin was in court, Jenkins snapped, "Mrs. Newman" when the receptionist asked if "Ms. Jenkins" wanted to leave a message. Jenkins decided to take advantage of perhaps the only law office in the country where clients are allowed to wait within the inter-sanctum. What Jenkins didn't expect to find was Newman Enterprises web master Phyllis Summers also in waiting. "What are you doing here?" Jenkins spewed as if only she has waiting rights. "Diane Jenkins as I live and breathe," Summers hissed before prying into Jenkins' reason for wanting to see Baldwin. Before Jenkins could reply Summers took a calculated guess that Jenkins might be in trouble with Victor Newman again because of a tabloid story about the birth of a new Newman heir. Jenkins reminded Summers that her child, Danny Jr., whom Summers has only inquired about once since Danny Romalotti skipped town with the kid years ago, is not the only one to be born in Genoa City with questionable paternity. In addition, Summers was declared an unfit mother. The truth stung Summers. "If you say one more word about my child I’ll rip you apart," she spat at Jenkins. "You don’t intimidate me," Jenkins declared and retracting her claws quickly departed before Summers could wipe the floor with her face. Jenkins
Hires Nanny! For days the Genoa City News wondered where the baby was being stashed and why a new mother wouldn't want to spend at much time as possible bonding with her child. On Thursday it was learned that Jenkins has hired a nanny to care for Christian Newman! In a related development, Jenkins was shown the results of a paternity test ordered by the man she claims is the father of her baby. "It's a lie!" Jenkins screamed out in agony as she tore up the test papers proving Victor Newman is not the father. Jenkins
Ordered To Leave Town! "I demand that you and your child leave town and never darken my life or the lives of my family again," Newman told his former wife here Friday after Diane Jenkins stated she did not believe the result of a paternity test showing Newman is not the father of her baby. Jenkins' request that another test be performed at a lab of her choosing was immediately denied. "You can't be serious," Jenkins bawled when she realized Newman was very solemn and her world was starting to fall apart. Newman assured Jenkins her departure would be the smart way out of the hole she began digging for herself over a year ago. With the recent divorce settlement Jenkins will be able to live a life of leisure with her baby. "Either you take your baby and quietly leave town or I’ll press charges for forgery, fraud and extortion. Believe me I’ll make them stick. You took on the wrong man this time. Leave town or spend time in jail. Either way you’ll be out of my life," Newman roared. While Jenkins had no further comment it would appear she has painted herself into a corner with no options and marks the first time in recent history that Newman has ordered anyone out of Genoa City.

Vows To Fight Extradition! "That child is her son, not mine. The child will never know who to call father. She had that child with some unsuspecting sap without getting his permission," Newman raged as Jenkins asked, "How can you be so cold and unfeeling?" Told to leave Genoa City with the baby within seven days or face criminal charges, Jenkins has refused to be intimidated. "He doesn't scare me. I've got friends who will back me. If Victor Newman wants a fight he's got one!" she said. Wednesday, 02.07.01 Who You
Gonna Call? To that end Victor Newman placed a telephone call to Paul 'Clueless' Williams on Wednesday seeking the infamous private detective's help in solving the mystery. Preoccupied with thoughts of his wife all alone in Hong Kong on business, Williams had no immediate comment on how he might solve or if he would take the sperm case. 02.09.01 "All my hopes and dreams for the future are gone," Jenkins whined before asking Carlton, "Why are you doing this? Why are you being nice to me?" Before Carlton could answer Jenkins blasted her for trying to "trap me like everyone else. I may be down but I’m not out. Save your pity," Jenkins snorted and then sped home where she summoned attorney Michael Baldwin. Having nothing better to do, Baldwin responded, told Jenkins to leave town, have another paternity test performed and return to Genoa City at a later date to drop a bomb on Victor Newman if in fact Jenkins can prove Newman is the father of her baby. Apparently not satisfied, Jenkins summoned gossip queen Leanna Love to say, "I want to take on Victor and his family. I want to smear him. I want the world to know what a ruthless bastard Victor Newman really is." Wednesday 02.14.01 The
Long Good-bye! Giving up her plan to stay and fight over who's the father of her baby, Jenkins had already informed Newman she was leaving town. Instead of being thankful, even offering to pack her bags and drive her to the airport, Newman belabored the issue to the very last second. Jenkins has announced she's heading for Chicago first possibly ending up in New York. April 2001 Jenkins Returning? "I suppose she could come back to town anytime," Carlton said of Jenkins ordered to leave Genoa City by Newman when she tried trapping him in a marriage he didn't want. "Please! Don't wish that on me," Newman squawked in what may have been a clue that the return of Diane Jenkins may not be far away. Blood Testing
Continues "My people are still running checks on Victor's blood. I'm certain he's the father of my baby. I just know it," Jenkins said of Genoa City's most powerful man, Victor Newman. Jenkins was booted out of Genoa City recently after attempting to trap Newman with sperm she obtained on the sly from Robertson Sperm Labs. The sperm changed hands many times and was eventually switched with sperm from an unknown source. Thinking the sperm was Newman's, Jenkins had herself impregnated, spawned a child and thought Newman would marry her for the sake of their baby. She thought wrong. A blood test showed Newman was not the father. Subsequently, Newman banished Jenkins from Genoa City but has given a series of blood samples without objection as Jenkins holds out hope that if Newman's blood is tested enough times Newman will be proven to be the father of her baby. "Until I know for sure Victor isn't my child's daddy I have no intention of trying to find out who the real father is," Jenkins said. November 2001 She's Back! Sources say Jenkins will make a stop at the penthouse suite of her former husband, the great Victor Newman. One of many women to share the name Newman, Jenkins took her baby and left town on February 14 after a paternity test revealed her baby does not carry the Newman gene. Setting the scientific data aside, Jenkins refused to believe Mr. Newman is not the father. The whereabouts of Jenkins' son was not immediately known but it was determined Jenkins did not bring Christian Newman with her and has been making arrangements to move to Milan, Italy. By returning to Genoa City, Jenkins will have broken a direct order by Newman to leave town and never return. Mr. Newman is not expected to take Jenkins visit well. Sperm thief gets gooey
reception! Fortunate to have caught Genoa City's most powerful man home at the time, Jenkins appeared at Victor Newman's penthouse suite and was instantly asked, "What are you doing here?" Jenkins explained having heard the news - it was in all the papers - of Ryan McNeil's death and because she knows "how important it is to have family around at a time like this" dropped what she was doing and flew from New York to offer her condolences. Newman made it very clear Jenkins wasn't wanted, that she's not part of the family, not to upset his grieving daughter and he could care less that she's taken a job with an international architectural firm in Milan, Italy. Other than being another thorn in the Newman family side, Jenkins appeared to have no other reason for being in town. December 2001 Tuesday, 12.04.01 She was told to keep her ass out of Genoa City but a defiant Diane Jenkins made up her mind to ignore a Victor Newman order the moment she spotted the news. In Chicago on business doing research for a project she's working on, Jenkins said she saw the news of Ryan McNeil's death in the newspaper and knew at that moment she had to drop what she was doing and fly to Genoa City to pay her respects. Jenkins' claim raised eyebrows because no self-respecting Illinois paper would have printed such trash about a relatively unknown peon from Genoa City. Likewise, the odds of a newspaper from a rinky-dink city like Genoa, Wisconsin, showing up in Chicago are slim at best. Furthermore, Jenkins didn't know McNeil from Adam. To say otherwise only proves what a disingenuous woman she is. Once married to the great Victor Newman, Jenkins was ordered to leave Genoa City with her baby after stealing Victor Newman's sperm, having herself impregnated and then trying to pass the baby off as a Newman. A subsequent DNA test showed Newman was not the father. "This child is going to keep me in Victor's life for a very long time. No doubt about it", Jenkins said at the time. "That woman is the most manipulative, deceitful woman I've ever met," Newman said before ordering Jenkins to take her bastard child and get out of Genoa City. Thursday, 12.06.01 "I’m concerned about her [Jenkins] son. Who knows what’s happening to him," Newman said Thursday. Adding that if she hadn’t interfered by switching sperm samples, "that innocent child wouldn’t be in this fix," Newman has informed Jack Abbott the person who helped her plot is dead. "I feel responsible and there’s is nothing I can do about it," Newman lamented. But Abbott isn't so sure. The Jabot Cosmetics CEO has learned the man who helped Newman kept extensive records on his clients and that together, he and Abbott should be able to track down the information they need "to the bitter end." However, insiders are wondering. What's the big deal? Jenkins stated Thursday she is leaving Genoa City en route to Italy and while she did tell anyone asking about her child to mind their own business, there doesn't seem to be anything Abbott and Newman can accomplish. If they are so suddenly concerned about the Jenkins baby it would appear their only option is to contact Italian child welfare officials. |
