Show #8700 - Aug 6, 2007

Michael meets with Kevin, Amber and Daniel. Amber tries to get hold of Cane but he wants nothing to do with her.

Cane instructs his secretary not to put through any calls from Amber.

Devon tries to talk Lily into getting a divorce.

Amber goes to see Cane, but his secretary lies saying he's in a meeting.

Phyllis wants to get away for a night at a hotel with Nick and he agrees. While Phyllis is online checking hotels, Nick is in the kitchen on the phone with his lawyer asking what his rights are as a father as he fears Phyllis will flee town with Summer!

When Daniel comes over to Lily's, Devon leaves. Daniel wants to work things out with Lily but she says there's nothing to work out and gives him the card to her divorce attorney. She calls the number and says she wants to file for a divorce ASAP. Daniel is crushed and asks for another chance, but Lily says no and asks him to leave.

Michael is questioning Kevin as to who could possibly have the money. Kevin has no idea.

Amber runs into Jill at Jabot and says what she is about to ask is far out of line but she's desperate. She wants to know if there is any possibility Jill has the money that was buried on the property, or if Kay or Ji Min have it. Jill gets furious and says the best thing to do would be to forget that Amber asked that because if Jill thinks about it too much she could be inclined to do something to Amber she would regret! Cane has overheard this and pulls Amber into an office.

Phyllis tells Nick this mini-getaway will be a good distraction from the trial. Nick talks about the allegations against Phyllis being true and Phyllis is shocked that Nick believes she's guilty. Nick asks, aren't you?

Cane asks about Amber's nerve to accuse his mother about the money and says his mother put up the bail money to bail Amber's sorry ass out of jail. He calls her a lousy daughter-in-law and a poor excuse for an adult.

Devon is more than happy that Lily has filed for divorce.

Michael and Lauren's romantic evening is interrupted when Daniel shows up to ask for legal advice as Lily filed for divorce.

Nick tells Phyllis he doesn't think she's a bad person, but talks about the trial and her actions. They argue with Phyllis ending up saying she doesn't need the support of a husband who thinks she's guilty nor does she need to get away with him!

Michael rips into Daniel saying just because he doesn't have the money does not mean he didn't steal it and says he does not blame Lily for wanting a divorce! When Phyllis calls Michael orders Daniel to take the call during which Phyllis says she's moving into a hotel until the verdict comes in and lies about why Nick isn't going with her. Daniel buys her lie and wishes her well. Michael and Daniel discuss his porn addiction and his lies to Lily. Daniel admits he has a problem so Michael encourages him to say out loud that he has a problem and needs help. Daniel does then Michael asks when he's going to get help. Daniel doesn't speak so Michael tells him to get out as he's tired of his attitude and tired of the waste. Daniel finally screams and says he's an addict and he needs help. Tears fill his eyes, as Michael hugs him.

Lauren comes over to see Phyllis and learns about Nick and their argument. Lauren advises her against going away with Summer, saying she doesn't want her to be alone.

Cane and Kevin are at the AC talking about their ex girlfriends and what a mess their life became.

Michael and Daniel continue to speak about his problem as Daniel says admitting he had a problem made him feel better, but also made him feel worse. Michael says growing up is tough.

Phyllis apologizes to Nick for snapping and he says he'll accompany her to the hotel so she isn't alone with the baby. When Phyllis realizes Nick believes she would leave with Summer, he tries to deny it but then says he knows the thought must've crossed Phyllis' mind or else she wouldn't have been defensive about it. Nick asks Phyllis to tell him he's wrong.

Lauren tells Michael he was right about Phyllis going away with Summer, but says she talked her out of it.

Phyllis tells Nick to send the security guards with her if he doesn't trust her with their daughter. Nick asks if she wants him to go with her, or not. Phyllis asks what he thinks. Nick takes what looks to be a bag and his jacket and leaves!

Kevin goes to see Jana at the hospital.

Daniel goes to the coffeehouse where he looks at Cassie's picture and talks to it about his addiction, humiliation, and says he wants to change. He wants to use Cassie as motivation, not inspiration, and thinks of living the life Cassie never got to live. Daniel says he's going to turn his life around. Amber overhears this and says she wants to do the same as they wish each other luck.

Show #8701 - Aug 7, 2007

Brent subs for Amanda today thanks to Phyllis Brooks who made it possible to listen over the phone to today's events.

At the Baldwin apartment, Phyllis and Michael speak briefly about the upcoming verdict and of course Phyllis is worried. Later, Gloria is planning a party at the Athletic Supporter in Wilma's memory and to celebrate the millions she's apparently inherited. She wants the governor to come, but he takes a pass. The Lt. Governor agrees to attend, however. When everyone shows up at the party, Gloria is outraged that manager Gina Roma does not have the correct color table linens. She wanted blue. Why? Because blue was Wilma's favorite color!

Earlier, back at the apartment, Kevin showed up to ask Michael if the God Have Mercy Medical Center can treat Jana Hawkes the way its doing in that it won't pay to operate on Jana's brain tumor. Michael says the hospital is not legally obligated unless Jana's life is at risk, which apparently it isn't since cancer doesn't kill people.

In fact earlier, while being introduced to the "famous" Dr. Logan as Brad called her, Kevin asked Logan if the hospital can be made to perform the surgery and Logan said no because there are other means of treatment.

Kevin also made a speech about hospitals not caring about those without health insurance because they're only in the business to make a profit. We learn too from Kevin that the GHM has a motto: "Care for those who have borne the battle."

Prior to asking Gloria for the money needed for Jana's operation, $130,000, and being told no because Jana is one crazy bitch, Kevin went to see Jana. Tied in a chair, Jana said she's been told the tumor is "stabilized" and thus she can't have an operation. Kevin told her he's not going to let the hospital treat her like that and returned later to say that he will pay for Jana's operation.

Where the money will come from should be interesting. Unless Kevin plans on selling the coffee shop, he and the dorks had a meeting at which they discussed where they'll get the money needed to pay back the government. Amber said they shouldn't have to pay the money back because, "We earned it."

Amber's got more problems too. Cane cut her off from all family money, her membership at the AC was cancelled and she was shown the door. But first she stopped to ask Gina for a job and was told there are no openings. When Amber was next seen she was eating a sandwich for which Daniel had to pay for and then said he'd put in a good word for her at Newman Enterprises.

Oops - that might not work out so good.

During a meeting with Neil at which he begged for one more chance because he's turning his life around and admitted he's a porn addict, Daniel was told to stay away from the Winters clan. Later, while Neil was giving a briefing in the breakroom to other members of the team, Daniel returned again followed closely by Brad who announced there had been a breech in NE computer security.

Seems a certain someone had been looking at porn again on a company computer and the entire system got hacked into! It got so bad NE's ISP threatened to shut down Internet service. Fortunately, the system was saved and all passwords are being changed - except Daniel's!

He's fired!

Back at the hospital, Colleen, who had earlier told Brad she'd stay away from Kevin and Jana, showed up to ask a now untied Jana to stay away from Kevin. Jana said sorry, no can do. Kevin is the only thing she has in the whole wide world. Brad also fears that Colleen and Kevin are becoming close again which promoted Brad's request. Colleen said yeah, she'll stay out of Kevin's business with Jana unless she has to go in to pull Kevin out.

A side note: Lily and Colleen were together briefly with Lily whining that she's given Daniel too many chances and kinda likes being rid of him.

Interesting too was Neil telling Devon that he's "exceeded" everyone's expectations and because Devon is clearly becoming the next CEO of something, gave him a bag in which to carry around important files and maybe old birthday cards from his grandmother.

Finally, we have Katherine, Cane, Jill and Mr. Kim Chee. In various scenes they argue about Jill's wanting to marry Chee and Katherine says if Jill is intent on letting Chee fall in love with her bank account, they better not plan on staying at the mausoleum. Jill says no problem; she's moving out and Katherine should never forget she owns one-half of the place.

Katherine, over the edge, her blood pressure sky high, screamed at Cane that she's doing all this out of love for Jill.

For his part, Chee wants to wait to get married until things cool down, but Jill wants to get the show on the road.

Show #8702 - Aug 8, 2007

Amber asks Kevin for a job at the coffeehouse, he refuses and explains to a shocked Amber that he's selling the coffeehouse!

Jack runs into Neil at the AC and thanks him for having him and Sharon over the other day. Neil notices Jack is looking through brochures and Jack admits he wants to take Sharon away for the honeymoon they never had. Jack tells Neil that he and Sharon are in it for the long haul and he's glad Nick sees that. Neil takes it that Nick has backed off and admits he had a talk with Nick; Jack appreciates it as Neil says he's just trying to help.

Nick runs into Sharon in the break room and talk about the photo shoot they had to cancel again. Sharon says when she agreed to go with him, she just wanted to get away from the stress. But now she doesn't think going away with Nick would be such a good idea as Jack wouldn't like it. Nick believes Sharon is implying Jack doesn't trust her, Sharon says it isn't about trust; it's about Jack not being comfortable. Nick asks if that means it's a no, Sharon says it's a never! Nick says never say never as Sharon says she just did. Nick suggests they do the photo shoot locally which Sharon seems to like.

Gloria runs into Jack at the AC and they make their ill feelings towards each other known!

Kevin is showing a potential buyer around the coffeehouse when the buyer asks Kevin why he never responded the last two times he showed an interest. Kevin says he's been busy, then goes over to Amber and Daniel to explains he's selling the coffeehouse to pay for Jana's surgery.

Michael goes to see Jana and sees her talking to a chair thinking it's Kevin saying how much she loves him.

Gloria is setting up for the party at the AC as she and Jack continue their bitterness towards each other.

Michael is back home telling Lauren about Jana. Lauren believes Kevin may be right about Jana while Michael doesn't believe it saying it has been months since Jana tried to kill Kevin and Colleen so he isn't buying her sudden symptoms now that she has been caught.

Daniel speaks to Nick about his addiction, needing help, and his firing and is about to get into detail when Neil walks in and says he's been terminated; pack up his things and leave the building! Daniel asks Neil to put aside his personal feelings for him, while Neil tells Daniel he was rude to him the other day and has shown his immaturity. Daniel believes that if he were to find a cure for cancer, Neil would still find a way to put him down. Daniel walks out, while Nick says he'll call him. Neil tells Nick that Daniel viewed porn on the NE computer, caused spyware to infect the NE computers, which resulted in hackers getting into NE files, bank accounts, credit cards, etc. Nick is shocked and agrees with Neil's decision to fire Daniel as their company is liable for the damage done.

Kevin asks the buyer what his offer is; the buyer says he doesn't make offers. He writes down a price and Kevin laughs saying that he pays his dishwashers more than that!

Amber asks Neil for a job at Indigo as a singer, he says no; she's bad for his business and his family!

Amber goes to Daniel who is packing his things up at NE to explain she asked Neil for a job and he turned her down. Daniel realizes she's desperate and knows Neil blames her for ruining his daughter's marriage. Amber says she only wanted the best for them and asks Daniel to speak to Cane on her behalf. Daniel says he can't so Amber decides to do it herself. She goes to the Chancellor estate and tells Cane the story of her life. Cane says he doesn't care.

When Maggie and Paul arrive at Gloria's party for William, Maggie tells Paul that the culprit could be there (the second DNA test). Paul teases Maggie about wearing a dress.

Gloria and Lauren speak to Jill and Ji Min. Jill says both she and Gloria wound up with the right men in the end.

Nick runs into Jack at the AC bar where Jack says he's not there for the party and Nick says he's just came to pick up some food. Nick learns that Jack is planning to take Sharon away on the honeymoon and says Sharon loves surprises. He also says he wanted to reschedule a second photo shoot with her, but she said no as she was concerned about Jack and his feelings. Jack says that was very thoughtful of her. Nick says it was, and leaves Jack thinking.

Gloria is happy when Kevin shows up for the party, but where is Michael?

Michael is talking with Daniel at NE about Kevin and learns about Daniel's firing which Michael defends.

Amber continues pleading with Cane to give her another chance and finally he agrees to have sex with her!

Jack and Sharon are at the coffeehouse talking about the conversation he had earlier with Nick about the trip. Sharon admits she agreed to go away with Nick, but when Nick decided he needed to be in court and the trip got cancelled she didn't see the point in telling Jack about it. Jack says she agreed to go though.

Michael tells Heather about his visit to Jana and how he still believes she's faking and will soon let her guard down as it's not easy to fake an illness 24/7. Kevin overhears this and is not happy. Heather excuses herself, while Kevin is upset with Michael. But when Gloria starts talking about William, Kevin tells Michael they discuss it later.

When Gloria is done talking, Kevin goes back to argue with Michael who says he's trying to help Kevin, as he can't forget how Jana tried to kill him and Colleen. Kevin doesn't see it that way, and is furious with Michael saying he's paying for Jana's surgery by selling the coffeehouse. Michael gets mad saying Kevin is the crazy one!

Paul wants to spend time alone with Maggie.

Neil spends time with Karen at the AC gym.

Sharon apologizes to Jack; he says he's already forgotten what happened. Sharon says she never wants to hurt him, Jack hopes so as he doesn't want to hurt Nick!

Nick tells Daniel that Neil told him what happened, but he believes Daniel can change and he says he will help Daniel.

Cane is dressed and confesses to Amber he was faking as he wanted her to feel the same way he did when she did this to him! Cane tells Amber he has a hot date and wants her out of his home!

They finally agree on a number and Katherine writes a check for $2.5 million dollars with conditions. Ji Min is done with Jabot and he must leave GC within three weeks. Ji Min rips up the check!

Colleen hugs Lily and leaves while Daniel and Amber just stare at Cane and Lily. Daniel believes Cane is playing her.

Show #8704 - Aug 10, 2007

By Phyllis Brooks as told to Brent Kellogg

There are big problems for the Clear Springs project as Cane calls the parties together to remind them that "Me Thane" gas has been found and that someone is gonna have to clean the mess up. If they don't, the project will be shut down and that would mean Nikki would default on her loan.

Cane makes it clear that Chancellor Industries won't pump another dime into the project which, if it's decided someone will clean it up, means the project will cost even more.

During a chat with Victor, Neil sputters that if Victor is trying to screw his wife over for personal reasons, he, as a board of directors member would have to lodge a complaint.

And that's exactly what Victor has in mind. He's not going to do anything with regard to the Methane problem, and it would seem Jack won't either as he told Cane, whom he calls "Sport", that Nikki can rot as far as he's concerned.

Also worried is Lauren who griped to Michael her interest could be impacted. Michael said there's nothing for her to be worried about.

Elsewhere, Nikki told Victoria she's worried that Victor wants her to fail.

In a related matter, Daniel popped in to tell Jack he needs to hire him. Daniel pointed out that of all the applications for work Jack must have, he's the only one with a criminal record. Plus, he could be judged a killer soon. Still, were Jack to hire him, it would show the judge at his could come any day trial that's he's responsible. It'll prove too to Daniel's detractors that he can take a licking and keep on ticking.

And so it was that Jack hired him and that he'll be working in the Newman Enterprises building of which Daniel couldn't wait to rub in Neil's face.

Earlier at the flop house, Lily has been up half the night packing Daniel's stuff, watching TV and crying her eyes out. She even thought about giving Daniel another chance. Daniel arrived to get his junk and when he was gone Neil showed up to say that Lily doesn't need an official divorce since she and Daniel weren't legally married! All they'll have to do is have the marriage annulled. Neil also told Devon to take some time off the job to help Lily adjust.

Devon took Lily to the Jitter Joint where she rehashed her marriage, Devon gave her his meaning of love and she asked him to fix her up with a date because, get this, Devon has "tons of friends!"

In other news, the jury is still out as Phyllis remains "in hiding" at a local hotel. At least that's what Nick told Sharon as they discussed finding a new location for the on-hold-for-a-week photo shoot.

When Nick suggested they find a location that is being refurbished, to give the impression that whatever the shoot is supposed to be about it's environmentally friendly, Sharon thought it was a great idea. They run over to tell Jack they're leaving to do just that and as they walk out the door Jack says, "I hope you find what you're looking for."

What they found was an old bank being converted into a restaurant. The place looks to be in Genoa City although Sharon said the shoot should be within a thirty-mile radius. Inside the vault, as the film crew starts shooting, someone closes the door!

Oh my, it's so hot inside. Only one thing to do, take off their clothes!

Flash to the Athletic Supporter where Gloria is meeting with Jeff. She wants to feel him out to make sure he's not trying to get his hands on her money and during the conversation learns Jeff is a criminal! "I'm guilty of being an American," Jeff tells her of his dealings with people in Liberia who were into oil and money laundering.

When she was done, Gloria called Michael to tell him Jeff is a criminal and that she wants him to check into his past. Michael grumbles, sure, he's got nothing better to do.
