Y&R: Victor & Sabrina Spoiler

[sheilaforever]

Exactly.

Bot B&B and Y&R are suffering from the ill-conceived-storyline-ideas-syndrome.

Both Eric Forrester and Victor Newman had vasectomies, yet both are are convinved than they can still get their young chics pregnant. Wahtever.

[TC]

That was my first reaction.

[rhythmchyc]

The writers are so lazy now, if she did end up with little A (tee hee) I'd probably shout to the rooftops for having an iota of connivance.

[TC]

So I guess what you're saying is I shouldn't expect even that liittle bit of fun?

[rhythmchyc]

When Gloria poisoned Jeffrey by accident, I knew not to expect anything remotely soapy until a new, experienced HW comes to town.

[TC]

It's funny how the little throwaway moments become more amusing than the storylines. The best part of that was Jill telling Gloria he died.

[rhythmchyc]

If only those would add up. Take for example the "elevator confrontation" between Nikki and Victor. The set up was pretty good but talk about anti-climactic.

It's almost as if the writers are afraid of suspense, intrigue, and the most meatiest word of them all... DRAMA.

It's also in the Cable Guide spoilers for next week, and I also heard about it from someone VERY reliable last week.

I think maybe I figured it out, and I think it's a red herring.

The exact phrasing I found was: "# Sabrina tells Victor she's pregnant!". Is this what you saw?

Here's how I think it will play out:

Sabrina will come downstairs, worried, and say something like "Oh la la, I missed my period, I expect I may be with child, mon cheri".

And Victor will be reassuring and say "Oh no, I got my plumbing rerouted years ago. Not to worry, my beauty".

At this time, Victor will reveal that he can never give Sabrina children, and does not want to. He will ask Sabrina if this is okay with her. Sabrina will say "but of course, as long as I can be with you, my beautiful man".

Later that episode, and certainly before the wedding, her menses will resume.

I think this is just a plot twist to get Sabrina to have full knowledge about Victor's sterility.

[ian]

then maybe it's a trip to the chop shop for Sabrina.

[MarkH]

Last time Victor was cheated on (well, maybe it was the *first* time, actually), his wife Julia's lover (Michael Scott, Jabot photographer) ended up in a custom-made dungeon in the basement. (As far as I know, it is still there).

Lo and fear if Sabrina is fooling around!

[dm.]

I wouldn't mind seeing mon cheri locked up somewhere. I'd use the dungeon for a few more characters and keep them there forever.

[TC]

OOOOO - kinky!

[MarkH]

This was all scripted before they decided to keep Braeden around.

On the heels of this story, they sent his wife Julia away with her lover Michael, and Vic rambled around the ranch for a few months solo. He became a supporting player to Douglas Austin, serving as Douglas' "second" in a duel (40 paces, pistol) Douglas staged with Kay's gigolo husband Derek Thurston. (Douglas won...shooting the retreating Derek in the ass).

Victor also helped Kay protect herself against Derek during this period (redeeming the character).

Lonely Victor was then taken to the Bayou strip joint one night by Col Austin...and the rest is history. That stripper Nikki just caught Victor's eye!

He bought the Bayou, and masqueraded as interior designer (!!) "Mr. Victor". Long story...but Nikki ended up as the ranch, Galatea to Victor's Pygmalion.

Thanks for he refresher, Mark. I have vague recollections of it. Wasn't Julia played by ----- can't think of her name--- I think she had played Liza opn SFT at one time and later went on to write for daytime.
