With Lily Winters bellyaching of late that she needs
to move out of daddy's home but can't move in with
foster 'bro Devon Hamilton, I got to thinking back
as to where it is exactly Devon lives.
It was October, 2006, when Daniel Romalotti giggled
to his surrogate poppy that Devon had moved in with
him and his lovely bride. Jack Abbott, saying that
the Abbott mansion was crowded, and that the Abbott
"playhouse" - since renamed the "shed" - had barely
enough room for Daniel Romalotti and his new bride,
was concerned that Devon living in such close
proximately to Daniel and Lily might put a crimp in
Daniel's sex life. It was then that Jack suddenly
recalled a piece of property he said the Abbott's
had owned long before sister Traci had become a Bon
Bon-eating heifer.
Close to GCU, on the property sat a big house that
Jack said the Abbott's had for years rented to
students and as luck would have it, the students who
were supposed to rent the place this year had bailed
out at the last moment. Jack told Daniel that if he
got off his ass he and his motley crew could have
the place so long as it met Daniel's high standard
of living.
And lo, but what it was.
Since they had nothing better to do at the time,
since none of the kids had classes or jobs to be at,
they all jumped for joy, checked the place out and
said they'd take it. Within minutes Neil Winters had
found out and was overjoyed as it meant his greatest
fear - that Devon will go on the run again - had
been slapped onto the back burner. On his knees,
Neil profusely thanked Jack for giving his
"children" a place to live.
No sooner had a worried that her "son" might run
again too, Dru Winters returned from crying on
Sharon Newman's shoulder, got the good word, and
zoomed by to see the new place which also met her
approval. If anything was wrong, it was that all the
audible and visual equipment installed at great
expense at the Winters' wooden box for Devon's
hearing benefit would go to waste. Turned out that
wasn't a problem as Neil said they'd install new
equipment for which Lily was free to charge on
daddy's credit card.
And so it was that Daniel and Lily moved into the
house with Devon, Lily later kicked Daniel out when
she discovered his addiction to porn, and later she
herself moved in with daddy leaving Devon alone. Not
that Devon worries about paying rent all by himself,
Jack let all of them live there rent free.
You might be asking why Lily can't move in with
Devon. Her desire that Cane Ashby will soon ask her
to shack up with him aside, Lily may fear that Devon
will hit on her.
In April, 2006, it was well known that Devon had
"feelings" for Lily. It was a creepy situation given
that Lily had just married Daniel and that the
newlyweds had asked Devon to move into the shed with
them and small as the shed was, Devon wouldn't mind
hearing the bed posts rock at night. Not that he
ever did, Daniel and Lily rarely had sex during
their short marriage.
Learning of Devon's lust, Neil had no problem with
it. "I understand you have feelings for Lily," he
said, and never once discouraged Devon from pursing
his feelings of incest, which his mother, Yolanda,
had said it was okay to do because Devon and Lily
aren't blood.
