Exxxxxxxxxactly. And "he's a friend of Billy's" doesn't cut it.

Outstanding!

In the words of a wise woman...

"Pretty much."

ICAM!!

Baby drama has never been a good thing for any soap, this show needs to lay off the pregnancies, miscarriages, and possible baby switches for a few years after this current mess wraps up.

Nikki has been missing for a longtime. I wish they would just give MTS the money. Goodness knows we don't no Scoobies!

[Cashton]

I don't see how you CAN have romance between a gay man and a str8 man.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I don't see why they can't have romance, good romance in other storyline. But I'm being repetitive in that sense. This regime has never done a well-planned romance tale.

[brimike]

I would say that about all of daytime. I can't remember the last time two female characters were pregnant at the same time on ANY soap and there wasn't a misplaced kid in there. Which is why I hope we're all wrong.

[cara mia]

I was talking about establishing some romantic feelings on Rafe's part. Nothing huge, just hints.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Lauren and Phyllis?

Regardless of the possible baby switch, Y&R has had too many pregnancies and miscarries over the past year too. It's kind of sickening to think about.

[DeeeDee]

[brimike]

But wasn't there some Summer/Fen thing with Pheila?

You outdid yourself on that one DeeeDee! :D

[Y&RWorldTurner]

They were never switched, and Pheila kidnapped both Phyllis and Summer, it also happened a good time after both women had given birth.

[Toups]

But you guys are just being facetious about this right. You guys don't literally think MAB comes to the boards and "steals" our stories. LOL

I know eh. That was an eye rolling moment.

I disagree. Two baby switches come to mind that were good and coincidentally, they were done by Tomlin/Whitesell......10 years apart. LOL Anyway, I don't want to get too much into it since we're getting off-topic here....unless you want to continue discussing this in the potpourri.

[Juliajms]

No kidding. Having Nikki at the hospital today would have added so much to the story.

[Cashton]

To me that would make him foolish. Why would an adult, professional gay man, fall in love with a straight, attached man with no hint of his feelings being reciprocated? especially if the man is his client. While this beat has been unappealing to watch (again it reminds me too much of college), it's part of Adam's game. He'll lie, cheat, steal even kill to get what he wants - and this includes seducing a man to keep his secret safe. If Rafe had found that box he'd go straight to Victor and Adam would be rotting in jail. this was pure CYA (pun intended). It just didn't work on a soap cause it's not the audience for raunch and the show couldn't play the truth of the scene that it was DL sex.
