In fact I'm confused by everything having to do with
Victoria these days. For starters the woman was
immobilized in a coma for months and yet here she is
back at work only weeks after waking up. And she's
as skinny as if she spent those months in a gym.
Recent mothers everywhere are rightfully calling
"foul." And long time viewers are rather taken aback
by the fact that Victoria has spent lo these many
years yearning for a child only to get bored with
being a mother and handing it off to a nanny or
daycare within days so she can go on about her
normal life like when she didn't have a baby. If
history is any example we won't see Reed again until
he's seventeen in a couple of years. Already
Victoria has given up on breastfeeding so she can drink a glass of wine.
Isn't that house smaller than the loft anyway? I
mean, four people were living at the loft at any
given time and it looks like you could barely do a
cartwheel in the Newman guest house. I don't know
what JT means by saying Reed will have so much more
room there. Plus the way he's got it decorated looks
like something my grandmother would go for with that
flowery green sofa and all those candles. Not
exactly baby friendly if you ask me.
Now we've got this new son of Victor's to deal with.
At first his name was Victor Jr, then it was Vic,
and now it's Adam. Who knows what it will be next.
Maybe it can become a running gag. Like someone goes
up to him and says "Hi Adam" and he says "No my
name's not Adam anymore, I'm Walter now." Then the
following week people go "Hi Walter!" and he goes
"No I'm not Walter anymore I'm George."
This alleged graduate of Harvard business school
with a history of working for a top financial
institution in New York arrives in Genoa City,
studies the Newman portfolio and immediately latches
onto . . . Beauty of Nature? What the hell? This guy
pours through stacks of documents outlining the
details of every major conglomerate corporation
Newman Enterprises has a hand in, and the first
thing he comes up with is "I'm worried we're not
selling enough lipstick." Meanwhile everyone is very
concerned about his work ethic. He shows up early,
leaves late, has no social life, is on top of
everything and I don't even think he's been in the
break room once. He's making everyone else look bad.
But wait - he's not so promising after all. Upon
being asked what he thought of Beauty of Nature's
spokes-model Sharon, he replied "She seems bright."
Bright? Has he met Sharon? For starters,
being bright isn't exactly the top criteria in
choosing a model. He could have commented on whether
or not her look was right for their product, which
can be argued either way. Sharon's so-called
brightness shouldn't really be a consideration
whether he's met her or not. Perhaps he's seen her
on TV, but so have I and the last word in the world
I'd use to describe her is "bright." I guess Adam
wasn't privy to that whole nose drops conversation.
I've got a little advice for Victoria and Nicholas
if they want to get rid of their new-found and
erstwhile brother. Introduce him to Jana. People who
get involved with her tend to wind up dead.
Fortunately for her the demand for coffee in this
town is so great the populace would rather place
their own lives in danger than, God forbid, buy
Folgers. No matter how many shades of pink she has
in her hair or how much weird blue eye shadow she
smears on the multitudes are satisfied she's sane
enough to serve them coffee despite the double
homicides.
Why does Nick need to take on debt and borrow
against his trust fund? As co-CEO of Newman surely
he was raking in at least six figures and never paid
rent. Not to mention the coffee house business he
ran and sold. Did he throw all his money away on
hair gel? More
