Victor was WAY too jovial with Reed. If there's one thing Victor hates it's when kids are disrespectful to their parents.

 

One of his grandsons randomly turns up on his mom's doorstep (who lives in another state) with no warning because he's run away from home?

 

There's no way Grambo would be greeting him like Santa Claus. Sure he would be happy to see Reed but he would have serious issues with the recklessness of Reed's behavior.

So after seeing Devon's memory lapse play out on screen, I have no objections.  It makes sense given his injuries.  It's not like they went full on amnesiac like UpChuck did with Hilary.  That was ridiculous, this is not.

He doesn't need a motive, but he has it anyway: Bringing Fenmore's into the Jabot fold would offer Jabot insane advantage in the market and would hurt B&S, considering Brash & Sassy has an exclusive contract with them.

 

ALSO, as they set up with Nikki, Jack is at least partially doing this as a reaction to what's been going on in his life. He's throwing himself into work, going nuts with the B&S eviction and the Fenmore's takeover, as he tries to process what happened and deal with it, perhaps in an effort to prove he's not a loser. I think it's fascinating, and a welcome breather from Victor vs Jack business stories.

 

It sounds like he's going to offer to buy Fenmore's from Lauren. I doubt it'll be some forceful takeover, and it's probably create some good drama between them. As it stands now, it's good. Then again, I don't necessarily believe they won't screw it up. I don't want Jack going ballistic against Lauren. I doubt that will happen, but we'll see.

Agreed, he accepted it way too easily. I hope it was because this was their first meeting in years and that he will address this down the line. A nice Victor is fine, but I dumb saintly one is not. They don't need to take his "redemption" that far.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.
