Some of the rumors that I have heard is that she and Victor plan on tying the knot sooner rather than later. Some say Adam and Mary Jane have a huge wedding gift in store for her (note how similar MJ’s stature is to Sabrina’s:)) also that a Newman is going to die. Who could it be? Had I heard the rumor any sooner I still do not believe that it would be Summer, just doesn’t seem right, especially since this little girl just got the job. However what about one of the other Newman children? Abby has been gone for a long time? Could it be her? Perhaps Noah? That would be terrible to take away two of Sharon’s children. However it would almost cement her need to tell the truth about the baby she is carrying? Or will they just let history repeat itself and knock off Ashley and the Baby?

Were it Abby, how would Victor and Ashely move forward? Speaking of Abby and family, shouldn’t Colleen be set to return as well. I wonder where she has been, what she has been doing and how it will affect her seat on the Newman board?

While there has been a lot going on there are still a lot of story lines that are being left out. For instance, when will we find out what is going on with Lily’s health? I’ve heard everything from pregnant to Cervical or Ovarian cancer. When she finds out what is wrong, will this bring her and Cane back together? Will it bring Dru back from the dead and Malcolm back from Criminal Minds?

What about the fact that Gloria and Jeff have been quiet for some time as well. We know they are running out of money so I am sure that they’re secretly up to something.

While I have been enjoying the current drama quite a bit, I don’t think I would mind a quick visit to some of the other stories. Who knows, perhaps this week?

Also, anyone think Deacon is sick enough to kill Amber. Did anyone ever pay any attention to the fact that Victor had missed a payment on MJ’s room? Do you think he could lose his family and his fortune? When will Paul and Nikki tie the knot or is wedded bliss slowly slipping out of their reach?

PS Phick Fans, I think you will see happy times to come!

Right now the cards are stacking against Victor. In my opinion he stands to lose all that love him. If/when he does what will this do to one of the strongest, most powerful men of Genoa City? Think about it, we all know that his kryptonite is the loss of his loved ones. We saw this first hand with the death of Sabrina and his unborn child. So will the Mustache be able to rebound once he finds out that Ashley too lost their baby?

How will he react when he finds out that the child’s death was at the hand of his vindictive son Adam? In just that scenario alone he has lost two family members. Now we also know that the Newman’s will band together for any crisis. However, we now have Paul on the scent of Mary Jane and when he is focused he get’s the job done. She has attacked his soon to be grand-daughter, so I am sure he is fully motivated to seek out the truth about her identity. How will Nikki, Victoria, Phyllis and most importantly Nick react when they figure out that Mary Jane is there because of him? Will it not feel like the ultimate betrayal to know that your father is ultimately responsible for the near death of your daughter? That his need for revenge and payback put a psychopath right in the mix of your family?

Let’s not forget that she still wants to deal with Sharon, who might as well be one of his daughter’s. Once she goes after her, will Noah be able to look past the fact that the nut job was there to do Victor’s dirty work? Not to mention that the child is not Jack’s but Nick’s. So again she will be attacking the Newman’s and not the Abbott’s. Add into the batter that Paul and Nikki are set to get married and Mary Jane is actually his sister. So he will be losing a life long friend as well. Victor what have you done? Oh yes, when Ashley finds out that you did all of this to set up her brother after she begged you to move past your animosity?

All I can say is that right now for Victor it looks like all roads point to hell. I see another breakdown in his future. The difference this time being that he won’t be in a position to cut his family off and turn his back on them, instead the shoe will be on the other foot. Can you blame them?

Will the great Victor Newman be able to undo what he has done to his own family? Will the Great Tower of Newman Finally Fall? He might want to call Estella back, she might be the only friend he will have left.

We all saw Sharon look at the DNA results and gender of the baby. What we don’t know is why she would say the baby was Jack’s if it was in fact Nick’s. I am predicting that she is telling Jack it is his because Summer is in the hospital so sick and she is trying to do the noble thing by not tearing apart his family. I don’t know. If she moves in with Jack or decides to continue on that line of thinking what eill Mary Jane do to her? What are you thinking?

Nick Newman makes a promise to Sharon that he will never “willingly” leave her. He then seals with a kiss.
Shick Fans:
Is this the kiss from the fairy tales where they live happily ever after?

Phick Fans:
Was this the Kiss of death, that sealed ill fate on the dreams they share?

You tell me!
Hint: That music is rarely a good thing!

For so many months now Phyllis has been trying to be the big girl at the party when it comes to Nick. She has allowed him to walk in and out; forgiven him when she saw him cheating with her own eyes; forgiven him when he told her he cheated, then damn near (I had to say it that time) begged him to stay with her and Summer.

Well you know what! Enough is enough! When Nick tried to act “all funny” (used that just for Restless) today in front of Sharon, had Phyllis just meagerly walked out of that room without expressing her feelings I would have jumped into the TV and made sure the door hit her on her backside. However much to my chagrin, she stood her ground. Welcome Back Good Ol’ Phyllis. Not taking stuff from anyone especially some who hurt you!

Seriously Nick was way out of order. Speaking of out of order, did anyone pay any attention to the looks on Sharon’s face during the conversation? She stood there, like Sharon does all noble and making faces at Phyllis like Nick had some sort of right in talking to her that way. Catch this! Sharon is no where near as stupid as many of us give her credit for being. She knew good and dog gone well that Phyllis was on the edge and had she opened up her mouth to let out one little peep, I think Phyllis would have forgotten she was pregnant and laid the smack down on her.

I know that there are a lot of Shick fans out there. Shick or Phick you have to see that right now Genoa City is running a little short on people with enough backbone to stop being run over. It’s time Genoa City got some of it’s powerhouse characters back in action, Jack and Ashley need to follow suit. Too many tears in GC! It’s time for some action!

This is only the beginning of what we will see from Phyllis! Between Daniel and Summer, Mama Bear will roar! (I Hope)

Maybe Victoria needs some, “How to Tell Off a Newman Man” lessons from Phyllis!

Hmph! Says you Jack Abbott! While Mary Jane Benson might not be the type to boil a bunny. There are no kitchens in the rooms at the Athletic Club! She might very well be the type to harm it then stuff it like she did with Kitty. She even showed you what she would do to a bird. Jack’s just not aware it’s her, yet! However I think the animals are safe, as she promised Kitty she wouldn’t do it again! However Jack you’re a dumb butt for not taking heed to both of these women’s warnings! I would say just like a m…hmm better not. You get what I’m saying:)!

Today while at breakfast with Jack, their meal was interrupted by a phone call from Phyllis. Mary Jane disguised her disgust well by ripping the heck out of one innocent sugar packet. She then sees Sharon and decides to take the opportunity to mark her territory. I was amused by the way she just brushed over the incident between her and Sharon. “I am so glad. You don’t need any unpleasant reminders” Hello Crazy Lady, but wouldn’t your presence be reminder enough? Then after being invited to join the happy couple for breakfast, Sharon ever so rudely dismisses Mary Jane and has a private conversation with Jack.

Momentary detour #1: That was rude! I would not call Mary Jane crazy one bit if she went off on Sharon for that stunt. But that’s just me!

This lady is really on the edge and the women of Genoa City are pushing her over day by day. Between the phone call from Phyllis that interrupted her breakfast with the man she belongs with to the conversation she over heard with Jack and Sharon. What’s a girl to do other than to put into action a plan to be with her man.

Momentary detour #2: Writers don’t get this stuff out of thin air. There are people out there just as insane as Mary Jane! Look for the signs and my voice whispering on your ear “Insane as Mary Jane”. If you meet this person, cut your losses and run. Take all pets with you!

The scariest part is that she is discussing her plan with Summer and asking her to keep it a secret. Phyllis also talked about not having Summer exposed when it came to the Restless Style shoot. Then today she refers to the little girl as her “favorite girl” and reassures her that “all the right people would end up together”. Too many coincidences!

So what do we think is going to happen?
Will she take Summer and try to convince Jack they are a family?
Will her plan work and Phyllis and Nick end up together again?
What will happen to Sharon if she is not with Nick?
Will Mary Jane just get rid of her? Hope Sharon’s contract isn’t up for negotiation like her ex-mother-in-laws.

“Even Auntie Mary Jane will end up happy!” What’s next?
Careful Mary Jane, you might be crazy! One thing you might want to keep in mind is that Phyllis is a force to be reckoned with! Some might even say better a friend than an enemy! Ok I say that, but if a few of you agree then I can say some.

What did everyone think of Victor and Nick’s Father/Son talk? Well in my opinion, I thought Victor brought up some really good points. Not to mention I love it when he plays the role of cool, calm, concerned father.

What I found interesting was when Victor asked Nick if he was sure about what he was doing, Nick did not seem all that certain. He had this look come over his face like, “Am I ever certain?”. It left me with enough of a raised eyebrow to think that perhaps this love affair will not be all that he thinks it will. Anyone else catch that, or am I dreaming because I don’t like the two of them together?

I did like the fact that Victor was really clear with expressing his concern for the other people involved in his decision. With particular emphasis on the children. I am sure that Nick gave them a little bit of thought, but when he described their living arrangements it did not seem as though he was fully protecting Summer. Granted it would be virtually impossible to get her out of Phyllis’ custody, but he didn’t even mention shared custody. She is still young and could adjust. But why bring the evidence of your old marriage into the new or should I say rekindled? Come to think of it, Sharon never showed the interest in Summer that Phyllis showed to Noah, but that’s another post!

What perturbs me about the whole situation is he is ready to give up his life with Phyllis and their daughter and he has never even asked Sharon if she slept with Billy. Let alone if he could be a potential father. Or perhaps it is the fact that neither he or Sharon are truly thinking of the well being of the entire family. I think they could have spent some time in separate abodes or something. To literally move out of one person’s house straight into another’s has to be confusing at best for the children that are involved.

What further led me to believe that Nick had not thought things through was him using Victor and Ashley to justify his decision. Perfect time for Victor to say, “pull your head out of your backside”. Instead he just pointed out that he did not want his son to make the same mistakes he had when Nikki left him. We all know he could have also said, “wel,l my wife was deceased, is Phyllis?” Did I move out of one woman’s bed directly into another, did you? Or how about, neither of the women I decided to be with were carrying a child with two (we all know 3) potential fathers, is Sharon? So kudos to Victor for taking the higher ground. I’m not so certain I could have resisted. I commend Victor for telling him that he was all but being selfish. However I so badly wanted him to say, “Son you are being a brat!”

Well to wrap it up, again I must say thank you to Y&R for giving us a moment of calm, sentimental Victor before the storm! Because we are all sitting on the edges of our seats waiting for the thunder to roll.

The other tiny little detail that Victor left out was that while he is with Ashley now, his heart still beats for Nikki! Had to throw that in there!
