Are there so few enclosed buildings in Genoa City, Wisconsin, that people actually have to hold wedding ceremonies in the dining room of the local athletic club? What the hell is wrong with these people anyway? If you live in a town where there is only one place to eat, including your own home, move the hell away! The entire populace congregates at this dumb club morning, noon and night for every meal. Imagine their confusion showing up for their morning croissant and coffee only to find a wedding was taking place between Deacon and Amber, two people they barely know let alone give a damn about. Think how put out they must have been having to stand around and wait for a table to open up. God forbid they go home and eat Cocoa Puffs or something.

You can't tell me that in a town where impromptu weddings take place on an almost weekly basis that there's no chapel or church where this wedding could have been held. Vegas has nothing on Genoa City when it comes to ill advised and sudden nuptials. There should be drive by ministers on every street corner. And what in the hell was Victoria doing at this wedding anyway? I don't know about you, but whenever I cheat on my spouse with someone I only just met I don't make a point of sticking around for their wedding. But maybe that's just me.

On the other hand, maybe the athletic club's draw is that it's the only place in town that offers any entertainment let alone food. I mean, there don't seem to be any theaters or amusement parks, so the local denizens have to rely upon prominent citizens showing up and airing their dirty laundry for the general public, which was provided this week by Victoria confessing to her husband she slept with Deacon. Right after they cleared out the wedding party, that is, and put the tables back in place so everyone else could sit down and have their breakfast. You think maybe a thing like that is better discussed in the privacy of one's home rather than in the middle of the dining room where everyone in town shows up every day?

Am I supposed to find it romantic that Daniel swept Amber off her feet and dragged her home like a cave-woman? Am I living in 64 B.C.? This moron even shut her down when she finally offered to share her sordid past with him. He said he "Didn't need to know." What an idiot. The kid's been in jail twice because some loser she was previously involved with sent him up the river and he wants to remain willfully ignorant about whatever other surprises are liable to jump out of the closet.

How the hell did Ashley know what Nikki's password was to access her voicemail on her cell phone? It's not like the two of them were BFF's or anything. She ran the woman down with her car for God's sake. Yet she was able to pick up her cell phone off the road and dial into her voice mail without even being prompted for a security check. Nikki's voicemail isn't password protected? I guess that only goes to prove you have to be a special kind of stupid to be in love with Victor Newman.

How much longer are we going to be subjected to the tragedy that defines the life of Lily since the day she was born? And how in the hell are her problems any worse than anyone else's in this God forsaken town? Colleen was kidnapped by a lunatic, dragged through a forest at gunpoint, and all her family was worried about was how Lily would react. Meanwhile Lily was sitting there at home counting her eyebrow hair like she's got nothing better to do while a man waited on her hand and foot and could barely take a break from bringing in all the gifts that people keep sending her. Oh, but wait, poor Lily might not be able to have babies. That sure as hell trumps being held hostage by a gun wielding maniac.
