Hello, GC News readers.
Since my last column, there have been some welcomed
changes in Y&R, namely the exit of Jack Smith. There
has been a change in my life, too. I have a
basically useless degree in News Ed journalism and
jobs were hard to find. Since I need food and
shelter, going back to school to get a better job
was the answer to my problem. My intended profession
will be in the field of medicine, so some medical
terms may pop up now and then.
Last winter, I started watching Y&R again. At that
point, Kevin was at his kooky best and seeing a
large, cartoonish chipmunk head on various people.
At the time, I was staying at my mom's place due to
winter weather and power outages. When I asked my
97-year-old grandfather, who lives with my mother,
what Kevin's problem was, he summed everything up
neatly by saying, "He's crazy." Not long after that,
I watched Brad's light literally flicker out and I
got hooked.
I have noticed some rare medical goings on in the
Genoa City area. The first disorder seems to pop up
whenever actors' or actresses' contracts are in
negotiation. They hint at the fact that their
characters may soon buy the fabled farm if salary
demands aren't met. There is a name for this
disorder that hasn't been provided by the Center For
Disease Control, instead it's my invention. I call
this Egotitis, an inflamed ego or an overblown sense
of importance.
Many columns and stories at GCNews have been devoted
to speculations about another medical oddity, why
the children in Genoa City seem to reach puberty and
young adulthood seemingly overnight. I'm guessing
that a substance like Miracle Grow is added to the
water for one very important reason. These kids are
being harvested to help any ailing adult in the
area!
This sounds like the plot of a Stephen King novel.
Let's call it Children of the Harvest. If
someone needs a heart, lung, kidney or pancreas, a
smiling, soon to be sainted teen bravely steps up to
surrender his or her organs. I always wondered about
Colleen's purpose in life, now I know, she was meant
to save a mumbling man from the clutches of death.
She might as well have sauntered up to Victor and
said, "Have my heart, Mr. Newman. I was born to save
you."
Providing that Mr. Newman's alter ego doesn't suffer
another round of Egotitis, Colleen's donation won't
be in vain. |
