It continues to be inexplicable why David remains a
central figure in this mess of a plot even after his
death rather than fade into obscurity as quickly as
possible. His legacy remains a testament to bad
writing. His gambling addiction seemed an
afterthought and never made any sense since he never
won anything. And his mob connection cannot be
considered anything other than "tacked on" at the
11th hour. Constant failures in campaign management,
gaslighting and executive positions cannot compare
to his utter lack of talent as a hired killer. I
can't imagine a less competent hit man than one who
hides the dead body of his murder victim under the
very spot where he paid for his wife's horse to
live. Did he think the police would conclude that
Nikki was the killer? Nikki didn't even know Skye.
Then again, considering the police department in
this town, maybe they would.
And when Paul Williams cracks a case there has to be
a blinking neon sign posted over the crime scene
that says "corpse buried here." Paul can't find his
own ass with both hands tied behind his back. God
this town is filled with morons, no wonder David fit
right in. The stable guy said the space where Skye
was buried had been used by the previous owners as
storage space. Who the hell uses an empty spot under
a horses stable that has to be ripped up with a crow
bar for storage space?
Looks like Victor is off on his annual quest to find
himself, or perhaps the mob who he will no doubt
defeat single handed. I'm not sure why he's taking a
tacky bus along with what appear to be illegal
immigrant workers to start his journey, but frankly
anything that gets him off the show for a long while
is fine by me. I've had my fill of him.
Not so for his children. The hand wringing over
Victor is making me nauseous. It's kind of sad the
only person who remembers that Victor typically
vanishes every year or so was an 80 year old woman
who by all rights should be suffering from
Alzheimer's by now. I mean, even Adam himself is the
product of one of Victor's famous disappearing acts
and they're all standing around going "Geez Victor
just wouldn't up and leave would he?" God they're
morons if they're not glad he's out of their lives
if only temporarily.
Speaking of morons, where in the hell does that
little punk Adam get off telling Neil he's going to
be running Newman Enterprises now? They've got to be
kidding me with this. Do you think if President Bush
went missing Jenna could just show up at the White
House and go "Sorry Mr. Cheney but I'm in charge
now?" It doesn't work that way. There's a board of
directors, and there are stock holders. Even if
Victor left explicit instructions that Adam be left
in charge - which he didn't - there would still be a
vote on it. Otherwise, Abby could just walk in there
and take control. Which would actually be kind of
cool. I'd love to see her in Victor's office
announcing "I OWN Newman Enterprises!" Then, you
know, Brad and Ashley would send her off to the
break room to get some cake or something.
Of course, since Neil has the balls of a salamander
he'll probably roll over and let Adam take charge.
As if the board of directors would prefer some
piss-ant, baby faced kid fresh out of business
school to run their international conglomerate over
a board member who has been running the company at
Victor's side for over 20 years. And what the hell
is wrong with Adam anyway? His voice drives me crazy
the way it drops off into half speak, half croak
midway through every monotonously uttered sentence,
as though he were talking in his sleep. I keep
expecting someone to yell at him "Wake the hell up!"
Well I guess if Adam can run Newman Enterprises it's
not such a stretch for Cane to be appointed CEO of
Jabot. Even though he was just a bartender a year
ago and has no business background whatsoever. Maybe
Devon is right - college is for suckers. Nobody
needs a degree in this town to get a high paying job
as an executive. Nobody even needs experience. If
you've hit the biological jackpot you can be
president. By this time next year, Summer will be
running Restless Style. They could hardly do worse.
