Newman Kid Not in Kansas!

May 21, 2007
by Brent Kellogg

Holy crap! We already know that Victor Newman will be going in search of his other lost son, Victor Newman JR., but who knew the boy would windup in Sri Lanka and was it Hopeless Adams Newman who let the boy out of her sightless eyes?

The story got started on word that Junior would run off from the Kansas farm Hopeless owns, but at the time no details were available as to why a young kid would want to run at all unless, like his Genoa City counterparts, it doesn't take much to get kids to go on the run - usually from the law or how unfairly they think they're being treated.

Today it was learned that Junior has apparently run away from home following the loss of his job and being unable to pay the rent. Born in late 1995, Junior was taken to Kansas when Hopeless couldn't stand being married to Victor and has apparently made quite a name for himself at the chronological age of eleven. Word of Junior's situation was reportedly passed between Hopeless and Victor when the great man called Hopeless last Friday. In that short time, Victor managed to have private defective Paul 'Clueless' Williams verify the information and Clueless added that the boy had been hanging around with the "wrong" people.

As a rule, Victor hasn't given a rip about Victor JR. all these years, but with one son thought to be dead, Victor said he can't risk losing another. Clueless, a son of his own dumped in Los Angeles he has seen but once since, said he understood where Victor is coming from, but did not indicate a desire to check on Ricky Carl Williams to see if perhaps Ricky too has rapidly aged, quit his job or hanging out with LA's gang bangers.

The memory of his oldest son not yet cold, Victor's journey will start this week. Leaving a grieving, blind mother alone at such a time, Victor will attempt to hire Clueless to find Junior and when the PI says he's too busy to take the case, will invoke the old adage, don't send a boy to do a man's job.

Making matters worse, Victor won't tell his wife where he's going. Nikki Newman will make a meager effort to find him, but as she was so quick to accept Nick Newman as dead without any proof, will give up the search for Victor. Word will come too at some point that wreckage of the Newman jet was found, but no bodies and no expected concern for what happened to the pilot and crew.

There will be more proof too that Nikki is a hypocrite no amount of Bible page turning can change when she continues hating her son's wife, Phyllis Newman, and ex-wife, Sharon Abbott. Toss in some hate for the man she almost married, Brad Carlton, and Nikki will become a regular hate machine. As she goes about burning bridges, Nikki's foul mouth will reek with hate until most who know her will hate her too. All except for the voters who it seems will prefer her for State Senate over Jack Abbott. Not that Nikki cares. She will say it's not whether she wins or loses, it's how she plays the game and as a result people will see her in a new light. She won't be known as the lowly stripper anymore.

With Victor gone, with Nikki being a woman with many needs and alone, there's a rumor floating that she'll turn to co-campaign manager David Chow for sexual pleasure. Having David put the pork to Nikki will keep her feeble mind off her presumed to be dead son.

Who Will Save Victor Newman JR?

April 24, 2007

It's an answer to our prayers! We've been bitching for years that Victor Newman JR. is growing up without a father figure and at long last it is written on the tea leafs that Junior will learn his pa is the great Victor Newman.

Junior has met Victor before, but he was never told of the biological connection between them. In any other city in any other place in the world, that would be a good thing as the parents among Genoa City's elite are not good role models. It seemed inevitable that Junior would wake up one day on his mother's Kansas farm and ask, "Why don't I have a Pa?"

Details are sketchy, but it seems he'll do something like that except, like all events connected to the Newmans, the way Junior goes about it will be convoluted. He will go missing!

Missing as in kidnapped? As in Lindbergh baby? As in Sheila Carter couldn't have a baby of her own and needed to steal Lauren Fenmore's babies? We don't know that part yet. We don't know that Junior couldn't ask Hope Adams what the deal is with his father - and if she refuses to say - go on the Internet and find out for himself. Or, God help him, hire J.T. Hellstrom or Kevin Fisher to hack into Newman computers.

It can't be that Junior goes about finding his father like other kids across America search for theirs. Disgruntled over something, perhaps that he got an 'F' on a test and Hope wouldn't change it to an 'A' so that he could go to Baskin & Robins for an Oreo milkshake, Junior will takeoff.

Presumably, as how else would he knew because he never checks in to see how Junior is doing, Hope will alert Victor and Mr. Money Bags will put his life on hold to go in search of the boy as only Victor can. A good place to start the search might be in Australia as a reverse of the Cane Ashby story could unravel with Junior getting a job at an Outback Steakhouse and immigration officials on his ass when his visa expires, but wherever the search goes the GCN has heard that Victor's plane will crash and lo, but what it won't be a search for Junior at all but the fourth in a series of searches for the great man.

Do not despair. We've since heard the plane crash is an embellishment thought to explain away the five weeks Victor will be gone. Does that mean the search for Junior won't resemble the search for Victor in a New Mexican desert? Will it all be, as they like to say, "Off screen"? A back-story without the possibility of learning more about who Junior has become? Wouldn't it be a hoot if an all grown up Junior has discovered that he's a woman trapped in a man's body and that he ran away to get a sex change? Oh, that's right. Too radical for conservative Wisconsin; too real an issue for the blue bloods of Genoa City to tackle.

Keep it simple. Keep it stupid. Keep the focus on who Jack Abbott is married to now and how upset Jack will be to learn that no sooner had he married Sharon Newman but what she confesses to having sex with Brad Carlton. Keep the secrets that aren't secret and the beady eyes on an adulterous Victoria Newman Carlton who will, because she needs to get even with her husband for cheating on her, sleeps with the hunkmonkey J.T. Hellstrom.

Keep up the mantra that it's okay to commit crimes; that it's okay to put drugs into whatever the enemies of Gloria Abbott are drinking as Gloria will do when she dopes Wilma Bardwell up. Not that he needs it, Wilma is dopey enough.

Go along with the notion that an old man like Victor can "attack" Brad and Brad won't kick his ass three ways from Sunday presumably because Victor will learn that his daughter has chosen to raise his grandchild by herself as though Victor has ever cared about his children except that now Junior is about to go missing, only the old geezer can find him.
