What kind of cheap romance fantasy novel did Chance
pop out of? Here we have a six foot four, ex
military hunk who is still a virgin in his 20's
because he's "waiting for the right woman." He loves
babies and even changes diapers. What's next? We
find out he loves to hold your purse while you try
on dresses and swears those pants don't make your
butt look big? He cooks and cleans and does the
laundry? He can change your oil and fix your
dishwasher and never forgets to bring flowers on
your anniversary? He never watches football, writes
poetry and sits through every chick flick you rent
while holding your hand? It's like The Stepford
Wives in reverse. I think he's a robot.
And where in the hell did he even learn how to
change diapers? Was that part of his military
training? He sure never had any younger siblings to
practice on. Does he just go around randomly
offering women to change their babies' diapers?
Don't you think that's kind of weird? Would you let
some strange young guy you just met take your baby
into another room to change her? I guess Chloe
would. She has about as much interest in the welfare
of her child as anyone else in town. So long as she
doesn't have to do it she doesn't care who does.
Can anyone tell me why exactly it's supposed to be a
tragedy that Lily can't have babies? Have you met
Lily? The woman is 22 going on 12 and everyone knows
it. They all handle her with kid gloves because they
know she has the emotional maturity of a grade
schooler. And yet even though she has not yet
finished college nor has she held down a job for
more than a few weeks and already has two failed
marriages under her belt is obsessed with having
babies. If that isn't an argument for mandatory
sterilization I don't know what is. The world does
not need the spawn of Lily, there are already enough
stupid people in the world as it is.
Good God, was that creepy priest supposed to make
Lily feel better? I can't imagine having a scarier
looking guy show up in your hospital room right
after surgery. No wonder Lily keeps thinking she
must be dreaming. That, and the fact that despite
having had major surgery she isn't even hooked up to
an IV or any monitors. They might as well have just
dumped her off on the side of the road after cutting
out all her girly parts for all the care that
hospital is taking of her. And she had her eggs
harvested and frozen? Dear Lord please don't tell me
they're somehow going to get mixed up with Victor's
sperm. You know how it tends to find its way into
the strangest of places.
Why in the hell did Billy need to buy a trailer home
just so he and Mac could have a place to have sex?
Correct me if I'm mistaken but neither of these
people are hurting for money or space. Both the
Abbotts and the Chancellors are supposed to be
millionaires with mansions, neither of which is
exactly suffering from over crowding. Nor are there
any visible servants to bother either of them. And
the Abbott property even has an abundance of
abandoned out buildings begging to be used. I mean,
OK, I get why they don't meet up at the athletic
club considering what a joke security is in that
place, but a trailer home? Really?
I was wondering when someone would finally get
around to asking Billy how he happened to hire Mary
Jane. The fact that Billy was even responsible for
her in the first place should have been everyone's
first clue she was probably a loser. I mean this guy
hasn't spent more than five minutes at work over the
past two years. You actually think he's capable of
hiring someone? Not that he's any worse than any of
the rest of them. Every day is a Siesta in Genoa
City where work is concerned. Hell, it's no wonder
human resources didn't bother to check Mary Jane's
references. The mere fact that she showed up for
work was enough to knock their socks off.
I guess it's lucky for Adam he managed to frame Mary
Jane for gaslighting Ashley, but apparently everyone
has forgotten about poor Estella, even her nephew.
Nobody's said word one about her ever since Mary
Jane took the fall. Maybe they still don't want to
hire her back since she doesn't really like Ashley -
and really, can you blame her? - but shouldn't she
at least get an apology? Can't she get a job at
Newman Enterprises cleaning the floors or something?
It's such a strange dichotomy in this economic
climate that people with jobs never go to work and
people willing to work can't find a job.
