Maria's Twitter mouthpiece, Tom Casiello, still defends it on Twitter, even thought it went absolutely nowhere and served no purpose whatsoever.

More than likely, he knew where it was supposed to go and we didn't. But, yeah, there comes a point where you have to give over to the opinion of the majority; and in the majority's opinion, it was an awful, awful story and explanation.

Nobody wants to talk about how Victor got Sharon stuck in jail for months on end, then made a move on her, then moved her into his life to make Nikki jealous then wanted to dump her ass. How is that "all her fault"?

Because the bitch shoulda seen it coming. That's what I think, anyway.

This time he was like "Jack, you're old and lonely. No woman wants to be with you so you're turning to pills instead. You paid off a doctor for pills, it was shady. Why are you so pathetic?"

He did the same thing to Diane a year earlier.

If Terry Lester were playing Jack, he would have shut the door in Ghost John's face, downed a few more 'ludes and hired two sexy nurses to come take care of him.

Oh, God. Please don't remind me about Jack's sudden drug habit. I can see it now: Jack needs to go to rehab, Nikki puts aside the animosity and pledges to help him through recovery, Jack and Nikki grow closer, Victor grows jealous, Victor and Nikki grow apart, Nikki moves back in with Jack, Khan loses his damn mind.

And then, next month....

Jack and Nikki were dull as hell earlier this year.

Today's epi will be shown on Monday

Why are his clothes disheveled?

I don't want to know.

The guy who played Ricky was on Parks and Rec a few weeks ago, he's a lot more attractive with non-soap lighting.

I would normally be ok with Ghost John used sparingly and movingly but, honestly, Ghosty is like the full moon, he is on every month. Plus you can guarantee that the scene will go like this

Jack: Don't lecture me, Dad! I know what I'm doing with Jabot/Newman Enterprises/Nikki etc.

Ghost John: Jack, just let it go! You are being so mean... to poor Victor... and those poor Newmans.

Like, [!@#$%^&*] off, Ghost John! Are we sure he isn't a hologram put together in Victor's wine cellar? This is just blatant agenda-writing to prop up the Mustache's tired ass. The same goes for every scene we see with Victor, FauxToria and Nikki excoriating Sharon. Granted, she burned down the ranch but at least they weren't in it at the time. Nobody wants to talk about how Victor got Sharon stuck in jail for months on end, then made a move on her, then moved her into his life to make Nikki jealous then wanted to dump her ass.

John was a prop and weak for many years. For her many faults, I think LML was right about the Abbotts. Ashley and John just seemed to wither on the vine long before their exits. Jack has done the same.

I have no problem with John being gone. The Matriarch,I mean Patriarch, of the Abbotts should be Jack (after 30+ years). It's too bad he doesn't have enough children to replicate what we had in the 80s. John was still a very viable romantic "lead" character for years, so it's not like Jack would suddenly be defanged. Bring on a mystery daughter. A new Keemo and, combined with Kyle, and there's something there to work with. The destruction of the Abbott clan was the worst thing that happened to Y&R during the past decade.

I'd bring in Traci and some foster kids, and dump the rest.

Several months ago when I used to frequent all kinds of messageboards, I remember someone mentioned bringing back Dina Mergeron. I don't know whether it was me or another poster who suggested Elizabeth Hubbard to play the role. I think it would have been fun (if the writing was right). Too bad the Y&R cast continues to be so bloated.

A new Keemo...who is suddenly full-blooded Caucasian.
