Why your

Is there anything more boring than watching Nikki
sit around reminiscing about Victor? I didn't think
so. She sure has a selective memory. Why doesn't she
flash back to the time Victor said he wished she
were lying dead on the slab in the morgue instead of
Sabrina? How about the time Victor told her he
wanted her back out on the streets with nothing
where she belonged? What about the time he knocked
her down the stairs and she miscarried? Or the
thousand and one times he told her to leave him the
hell alone, yet there she was, sitting in his living
room daydreaming about him. Girl can't take a hint.
She also seems to think with Victor gone she can
rightfully play Queen of the Manor. Where did all
the security guards go? Did Victor dismiss them, or
did they simply wander off after he disappeared?
That place is ripe for looting. As Victor's ex-wife,
Nikki has no more right to be there than Adam does,
and perhaps even less. She's got a nerve chasing the
kid away then rummaging through Victor's stuff. And
where the hell is Zapato? It says a lot that the
only Newman I'm really worried about is the dog.
I wonder what Sabrina thought of the fact that
Victor had a drawer full of Nikki's pictures in the
living room. I can just imagine that Sabrina might
have been looking around for a pen one day and
happened to open this drawer and see a photo of her
husband and his ex-wife sitting right on top of the
stack. Then again, maybe she didn't make too much of
it if she didn't find it odd that her husband had a
picture of himself sitting on the mantle. I don't
know anyone who has a picture of themselves, by
themselves, sitting on their fireplace mantle,
except for Victor. His ego is so enormous Sabrina
probably just figured Victor kept all of his old
photos lying around regardless of which wife was in
them with him.
This "plot" to throw the authorities off Victor's
trail is a disaster in the making with JT Hellstrom
at the helm. I can't believe he was stupid enough to
call down to room service. If the hotel operator is
questioned by the police, they are obviously going
to be asked what the man sounded like. Did he
mumble? Did he yell "You Got That?" Did he pause
numerous times to drink from a glass of water? No?
Well, then, this was obviously not Victor Newman.
Now, if you want a good impression of Victor, Jack
Abbott's your man. The way he was channeling Victor
while making that diary tape made him sound like The
Count from Sesame Street. "I will kill Walter Palin
Once, Twice, Three Times - ah ha ha ha ha!" He
forgot to mumble though. He also forgot to keep his
hands clean in this whole mess by putting his own
voice to tape for evidence later. So the score for
Jack is: Impressions - 10, ingenuity - zero.
I covet his bank though. They called because they
figured he'd never use his credit card at a seedy
motel? Did it never occur to them he might be having
a secret rendezvous with a woman he didn't want his
wife to know about? Lots of people do in this town.
Way to blow his cover by leaving that message on his
answering machine at home.
How come Adam can't get a job but people keep hiring
Nikki? Have they ever looked at her resume? It's
like an encyclopedia of failed careers, starting
with "stripper." The minute she's distracted she
takes off and leaves everyone in a lurch so she can
deal with personal problems.
Speaking of failed careers, isn't Sharon a bit long
in the tooth to be working as a model? And what sort
of "meeting" does a model have to attend? Models
don't go to meetings, they just show up at photo
shoots and do as they're told. Lily sure never went
to any meetings. And isn't it going to be rather
awkward for Restless Style to devote an entire
spread to Sharon after they trashed her as a hair
chewing, vacuous moron in their last issue? It's
kind of like Tina Fey endorsing McCain-Palin.
Neither one ends up looking good.
