I see your point. I just tend to think Nikki and Ashley have never had a problem with Victor and Jack's business ruthlessness per se, they just can't wrap their minds around their occasional, barely legal outbursts. In the meantime, Hilary is supposed to host a charity tabloid show of sorts, pleasing everyone.

 

I totally agree that characters need some friends to bounce off too again! I loved this aspect back then. I think they are trying to bring it back, starting with Chelsea and Jordan. The problem with Hilary is also that she has to put up with an albatross like sanctimonious Devon, who seems to be exclusively interested in redeeming her.

The other problem where Hilary is concerned is Y&R's extremely laziness in developing other characters so they utilize Hilary to facilitate the plot.

 

There is no reason she should be a central character in Juliet's story but because Juliet remains a generically written stock character with weak relationships and even weaker motivations (how effective would the pregnancy reveal have been if Y&R had expended half the energy they used to shove Hilary into the story into building a genuine relationship between Juliet, Lily, Charlie & Mattie) so Y&R uses Hilary to keep things interesting.

 

It wouldn't be so bad if they only did it with this one story (since the majority of the characters involved are ones she has serious history with) but they've done it with almost every story over the past couple of years.

 

I'm actually waiting until they shove her into one of the few stories she has little to no presence in thus far (Scotty & Abby at Newman) since endless amounts of meet-cute scenes and underwritten potential villains have failed maintain viewer interest.

Hilary's first order of business after this story is complete will be making that music story of Devon's interesting since centering it around heroine Mariah hasn't produced much interest. So Hilary will be thrust into it as antagonist for Mariah AND Tessa.  Tessa is tied to Abby's story since she knows that Zach guy. So @deedee, Hilary being in that Abby and Scott story at Newman isn't far fetched. Wait for it...and didn't Newman buy a media company? I find it hard to believe that won't have repercussions for Hilary. 

 

@cassadine1991, while Mariah at Newman working with Summer and Abby is a great place for Mariah, during those stories she was never much of anything but part of the peanut gallery.  I think the entire purpose of her as Hilary's rival and Devon's love interest was to give her a more prominent role in story. lead vs supporting.

Kevin complained to Chloe that being locked inside was no way to spend summer. They searched the house and found an unlocked window, which they cracked open. Unfortunately, the fog that turns people inside out was lurking outside and seeped into the room. Kevin and Chloe were unable to escape and succumbed to their injuries.

      Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.

      I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined

      The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.

      No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

      I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.

      You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
