Commentary

Billy had just come from visiting Colleen's grave
and what a nightmare that was when you consider
Billy didn't know Colleen that well. She was his
niece, he played big uncle once at Walnut Grove
Academy when some drug dealer was trying to sell
dope to the former pothead Colleen, but beyond that
Billy left town to help Brook Reynolds build homes
for the homeless in Louisiana. From there Billy went
to Florida where he claims to have become a
bartender, grew a gambling addiction there too and
wanted by the mob had to be extradited by brother
Jack Abbott to Hong Kong. By the time Billy returned
to Genoa City Colleen was well on her way to
becoming a town slut having slept with her school
professor and then falling out of a rowboat to her
death. No matter the facts, now Billy goes on and on
like they were brother and sister, or maybe younger
uncle and older niece having sex which in Genoa City
wouldn't shock anyone. Creepy, Billy gives the dead
Colleen the daily lowdown as to just how low he's
sunk with that Victor stole Colleen's heart
bullshit.
Victor's not much better with his persistent "gift
of life" gab and mumbling that he's going to live
forever, so long of course as he has that old cow
milking his teat. You almost feel sorry for Nikki
Newman always playing second best, or in this case,
third best to Ashley, who came in second to Sabrina
Newman, and whose grave is in the same cemetery but
Victor couldn't be bothered to pay his respects. And
what of that video Victor made for baby Faith? Is
this becoming a trend? First Ashley makes a video
for Abby - did Abby ever see it? - and now Faith
will have one to treasure should daddy Victor not
live despite his muttering that when he returns from
wherever he'll be "stronger than ever". How does
this work? Is there a fountain of youth in Belgium?
While Victor is giving Abby a video, how about one
for the National Archives? Anyone with a desire can
learn all about Genoa City's most powerful man. Grew
up in an orphanage he did. Gave himself a new name
too. Newman, as in "new man". How creative. For
those studying the life span of dinosaurs, Victor
was born in the year 0002 BC. It was a time when
Katherine Chancellor, born before recorded time,
gave Victor what would become his empire. The world
beat a door to his widget factory and look at Newman
Enterprises now complete with it's mostly forgotten
about cosmetics company run by Newman's two dumbest
children. Child psychologists may be interested to
learn that Newman's younger daughter, the
aforementioned Abby, while in kindergarten was told
Newman sperm spawned her. Albeit stolen sperm, that
vital part of the story was left out by Ashley who
then left a child to tell her own father of the
paternity. In the event of his highly unlikely
death, Newman recorded for historians the greatest
declaration since God parted the Red Sea. "The world
will know that Victor Newman was here."
