That was absurd yet realistic. People make excuses for their irresponsible kids everyday.

But seriously, how was Sharon to stop that twit. She would have to line the models up, take them to bathroom, and force them to leave the stalls open as she walked back and forth to prevent them from taking anything.

Its not like the photographer or any jabot employee in a position of power gave her the pills.

Victor is foul, but I agree with him callin cra cra Sharon out on not doin her job!

[BetterForgotten]

Since when was it Sharon's job to stop Summer from taking drugs in private?

No one had knowledge that Summer was doing this, and she really has no one to blame but herself.

[chicklitsandfantasies]

Yeah it was definitely realistic for him to go off and make excuses. The ridiculous part was Victor trying to sue over it. I know his excuse for Jack is probably Jack's drug addiction. Not sure how it was Sharon's fault.

[rlj]

Summer is def to blame, however Summer got hurt under Sharon's watchm therefore she wasn't doin her job and deserved to get called out for it imo

[chicklitsandfantasies]

How was Sharon supposed to stop Summer from taking those pills?

[Juliajms]

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either. Summer wasn't hurt through anyone's negligence, except her own.

[chicklitsandfantasies]

And it's not like she was hiding some addiction for months. She's not an addict she just took 3 pills out of stupidity. Like she said she was lecturing other friends about drugs and popped some herself.

[rlj]

OMG, Sharon was hired to watch over the models, she is in charge of them when they r working, and for months pills have shared amongst said models, therefore she ain't doin her job good period.

[cassadine1991]

Sharon didn't know what was going on behind her back

[rlj]

My point exactly, she was hired to know, she sucks at her job lol

In soap time, pill gate has been going on about 3/4 weeks...real time, maybe 2 months. Sharon is not living with these models and can not be held responsible for what they do on their own time. She and Chloe made sure they were not provided real alcohol at the shoots. Sharon ensured that the models weren't supplies drugs by anyone in charge at the shoot. Now if those fools bring them in all by their lonesome then that's on them. As I stated, should she trail behind these grown women to the bathroom? Should she strip search them before allowing them in the building?

Watch over as in make sure they are treated fairly and with dignity, but not to be "in charge of them" like a mother.

[ajsp35801]

She was hired to be a model advocate...ensure working conditions were humane and above board....not to be anyone's baby sitter.

[NothinButAttitude]

Is it just me or does anyone else wish they'd kill Victor off already? I'm seriously over this angry, old battleax.

[ajsp35801]

Nope. I don't mind Victor because I take him for what he is now...a bitter mean old man. All good soap needs one. I enjoy his stupidity.
