RELATED DAILY UPDATES

Friday, November 21 2008: Bookstore Bungle!

In the pool house, Gloria tells Jeff that Jack wants Jabot as badly as they do - everything will work out. As Jeff leaves the room, Michael arrives. He has a paper for her to sign in which she recants her statement against Lowell. He tells her that there is a good chance of getting the charges dropped. Gloria, however, says she now has her public image to consider - she won't be recanting!

Jack tells Ashley, at the Abbott Mansion, that now is the time to move to take back Jabot for their family! When Ashley leaves the room, Gloria and Jeff arrive, and speak to Jack about Jabot. He reminds Gloria that she will have the title, but he will actually be in charge. Ashley comes back into the room and Gloria grabs a hold of her, telling her excitedly all about the stock and their plan, ending by calling her 'partner'. They head out, as Jack looks guilty, and Ashley turns to him, saying, "No way in hell!" Jack tries to convince her that he is just wrangling to get his hands on the stock that they have, but Ashley is adamant - she won't do business with them. Jack says it's their only hope for getting Jabot back into the Abbott family! They discuss John and what it would mean to him, and Ash says he's not playing fair! Jack says Cane Ashby, 'Aussie bartender extraordinaire', taking his dad's seat makes him sick! Ashley decides, ultimately, that she'll help. "Bring Jabot back into the family. I'll give you my proxy."

Still at the counter, Amber points out to Daniel that all signs point to Kevin being up to something - he was complaining about being broke and now he's buying a car! Just then, Gloria and Jeff walk into the coffeehouse and Gloria marches up to her son, telling him that thanks to him, she's now got everything she ever wanted! Amber becomes very upset, hissing at Daniel that there obviously was a conspiracy! Daniel tries to tell her otherwise - that Kevin had nothing to do with Katherine's accident! Gloria and Jeff sit down with Kevin and fill him in on the upturn in fortunes. She tells him he'll be rewarded with lots of zeros! After Kevin leaves the table, Jeff warns Gloria not to try and cut him out of the action! Jana comes back and notices that Kevin is sporting a 'knowing' smile. He denies that anything is up, but Amber walks over and points out to Jana that Gloria is awfully happy too - and she says it was all due to Kevin's help! Jana looks uncomfortably at her in-laws. Kevin heads out onto the patio with his laptop and Daniel follows to question him about how he can suddenly afford a new vehicle. Kevin says he's merely using credit, but Daniel presses him. Kevin says he's offended, and Daniel apologizes. Jana then speaks to Kevin, asking him what's going on. He tells her that Gloria is just grateful for the help he gave Katherine on her computer. Jana again warns that she doesn't want the things that money can buy, but Kevin says he wants to give her the world. Daniel goes back to Amber and says she needs to chill out about Kevin and money, but she follows Kevin when he meets the guy selling the vehicle!

Gloria and Jeff arrive at the Abbott Mansion, just as Jack is promising Ashley that he will look after Gloria and everything else. Gloria and Jeffrey are in a celebratory mood, and Ashley tries to play along by complimenting Gloria on her blouse. Jack and Ashley decline an invitation to join the Bardwells for champagne, though.

Thursday, November 20 2008: A Good Day For a Haunting!

Gloria and Jeffrey are in the pool house, preparing to go to the reading of Katherine's will. She's surprised that he wants to accompany her. He laughs, "Even if all you get is an ashtray, this ought to be one heck of a show!"

At the Abbott house, in the dining room, Jack rips into Ashley for taking up with Victor again. Traci comes into the room, just as Ashley wryly says she always looks forward to breakfast with the family! Ashley tells Jack that they have been having the same conversation for twenty years! Traci begs for a pleasant breakfast. They call a truce, just as Billy walks in. He says he can't stay - he needs to go to Katherine's will reading. Gloria and Jeffrey pass through the room and ask if he wants to carpool! Jack raises an eyebrow, saying, "You're in Katherine's will too?!" Billy notes that Kay had a great sense of humor. He leaves, and Jack proposes a toast to John. Suddenly, John appears to Traci. He tells her she made all the right choices - especially leaving Genoa City and making a great life for herself. Traci then tells Jack and Ashley that if John were there he would be so proud of them! They discuss Colleen and Abby. Ash says Abby loves London. John's ghost then appears to Ashley. He tells her he is worried about her being involved with Victor again. She admits she's worried too, but notes that he's Abby's father and the man she's loved half of her life. John warns her to be careful, and to do what's best for herself and Abby. Jack wants to discuss the holidays - he wants a full house this year. The girls start talking about their plans, when John appears to Jack. He says he notices that Sharon isn't at the family breakfast - he urges Jack to figure out what he really wants. Traci and Ashley go to leave, and Jack says goodbye, stopping Ash to say that he'll always be there for her, no matter what happens with the mustache!

Amber and Daniel arrive at the Chancellor home and are greeted by Esther. Danny and Gina come in and Gina begs Daniel to try and get Danny to stay for a few more days, but Danny says he can't. Billy comes through the door next and is warmly greeted by Cane. Just as Mitchell Sherman asks everyone to have a seat, Gloria and Jeffrey blow into the room. Jill looks outraged! Mitchell begins to read the will. She leaves Brock 1% of her estate in trust so that he may continue his good works, and he is also named Chairman of the Chancellor Foundation. Danny and Gina get one half of 1% of her estate in cash as her stepchildren, and she leaves Esther enough money to live the rest of her life in comfort as well as her entire 50% ownership of the Chancellor Estate! Esther nearly faints, and Nikki calls for water. Billy smirks at Jill, "Mom, you may be in the market for a new maid!" Jill takes Mitchell aside and says that Katherine must have been drunk when she made the changes, but Mitchell tells her it's ironclad and Katherine was certainly not impaired! He continues the reading of the will, telling Nikki, that as someone who Kay thought of as a daughter, she has been left Katherine's jewelry and her mother's ring - a family heirloom!

Still in the Chancellor living room, Mitchell details how Billy and Cane will receive one-quarter each of her estate. Amber and Daniel are given enough money to fund their respective ventures, and Amber also gets sole rights to Katherine's memoirs! Jill jumps out of her seat in protest, but Mitchell cuts her off, saying that Jill has been left the remainder of the estate, and all but 5% of her Jabot shares. He then turns to Gloria and tells her she has been left a priceless vase that was a gift from John, as well as the remaining 5% of her Jabot shares - in honor of John's memory! Jill turns to Cane in panic, and Jeff and Gloria beam! As they all rise from their seats, Daniel asks Amber if she's going to publish the memoirs, but she says she wonders if she should bring more upset to the family. Danny comes over and says goodbye. Brock wanders over and says he'd like to know more about the memoirs. They all share a laugh. Across the room, Jeff purrs at Gloria that she's never looked hotter than she does right now. Jill comes over and asks what she did to make Katherine give her the shares. Gloria says that Kay genuinely liked her! Billy takes Jill away, telling her that if he had inherited what she just did, he'd be dancing on the table right now! Jill goes after Amber before she can leave - she informs her that she won't have her capitalizing on Katherine's memoirs and if she tries to print it, she'll fight her every step of the way. Amber tells Daniel she's going to make it her life's mission to print them now! Nikki is next to leave, telling Jill that she hopes she doesn't mind Katherine giving her the jewelry. Jill rudely tells her that her life's such a mess, how could she mind. Esther kindly tells Nikki she can still come to the house to visit her. Jill goes back into the living room and notes to Cane that they're very vulnerable without that stock! It then dawns on Jill that she is no longer answering to Katherine and can do whatever she wants!

Gloria and Jeffrey arrive back at the Abbott house and rush up to Jack with a bottle of bubbly. They inform him that Katherine left her the 5% of her stock that she'd asked for! "I did it Jack! Plan's back on!" As the happy couple celebrates, Jack muses to himself, "You don't say?!"

Out in the pool house, Gloria and Jeffrey prepare the celebratory champagne. Suddenly, John appears to Gloria, asking if she's proud of herself for putting one over on his friend. Gloria says she is - Katherine never did anything she didn't want to do, and she feels good about this! She sits down and reaches for her glass as John disappears.
