The Young and the Restless - NEWS ROOM

I forgot to add - sick of Victor's sanctimonious attitude. I hope Adam/Victor burns him too and he's left with no one! Victoria & Nick could have behaved better, but Victor has been and is way out of line. I'm glad I don't have a controlling, vindictive father like that! Hope Nikki get's some backbone and starts picking better men - would like to see her get back with Paul - would be interesting. Love Jana & Kevin - make me laugh! Enough with the face cream story - boring and it's going on too long! Jill has been getting on my nerve - I agree, Larry Warton needs to come back (he was great & funny!)

I really hate to see Sabrina go. Victor and her was good together but for the acting like teenagers in love for the first time was a little sicking. Adam needs to also be put in his place, he is not all that Jack is turning into a terrible monster and Sharon is no better.

I loved Sharon's commenty to Phyllis about her Moral Compass. We are definitely seeing a more assertive Sharon which makes her more interesting in my book. Although I don't completely agree with everything she's recently sided with Jack about I'm glad to see her standing by her man instead of siding with the Newmans. The rest of the week was really intense and exciting. Wish every week could be this good. Can't wait to find out more about Lowell Michael's dad.

This it the biggest crock of malarky the "writers" have ever attempted to perpetrate on the fans of this show. What a huge disappointment this writing regime has turned out to be. And to have Katherine deliver that "reversed vasectomy" tidbit- is even more laughable than the "reversal" itself. Victor and Katherine were not close, he never would have told her that. I can't reiterate the rules of soap writing enough- clearly these people don't know what they are doing - infact noone writing soaps today does - thus why the rating are crapola.

Sabrina would not have had to be written off if the writers had just done their homework. Longtime fans were never going to accept her pregnancy because of Victor's infamous second vasectomy which led to the whole sperm stealing storyline and Abby's conception. The idea of Victor ever getting his vasectomy reversed was never brought up or put on the map until now and only because the fans went nuts over a poorly thought out storyline that negated history. Yeah, the writers could have actually played it out and would have been plausible as an older man wanting to give his wife a child but was not going to wash as an afterthought. Too bad they blamed the actress- the blame lies squarely on the writers' shoulders. Shame on them.

I think this week had some great drama. Now I'd like to see some romance.

Dear Candace,
I agree with your statements about some lingering questions and unfinished business with several of the plots .
Well writen. Did David love Nicki - or was he a just a user con man. I hope he did love Nicki - and was pushed to his limit.
Also the revelation that Nicki bringing david Chow into the lives of Genoa City caused many principals to lose their loves.. Victor's Sabrina, Nicki's David. Adam's SKye, Jill's Ji-min and more.
I am not satisfied why the writers got rid of Sabrina. It would have been sweet to see what would happen with the birth of their baby etc.

hi everyone, i havenot written for a long time but felt compelled to do so now. as far as the vic/sabri s/l it was inevitable that it had to end. forgive me but this bedroom and art show came on in a ny minute. they shoved this s/l down our throats. vic has fallen in love so many times and wined and dined woman just to become controlling as and after thought. in his eyes women are beneath him do as i say and not what you want or feel and god forbid if his kids showed him half a brain or some independece. the mustache roars like idi amin. sabrina was a good actress and should have been peered with someome else. we all jumped up and down for her to go and now we are her biggest fan. we acnnot have it both ways. nice actress but even victoria knew something about her pass. maybe we will find out that what phillipe said was true. the baby s/l line was a wash and the writers knew it. this was a number on story and they turned it into the enquirer. who else thinks that micheals's father maybe the mob boss and i agree adam has a secret he may have been mixed up with the mob and came to gc to help take over jabot and newman enterprise. i also think he is not the real adam and they are holding him hostage somewhere. when old vic goes to paris he will find that the "love of his life" was mixed up in the art ring that brad's mom tried to expose.remeber walter's car was found in lousiana and that is where mike's father is supposed to be and his grandmother lived.please writers from now on give your fans credit for knowing soaps history and not try to make amnesia victims of us.

The Restless Style Gang:

First if Nick and Phyllis, aren't happy that Jack n Sharon had run the magazine company in their absents.
Then maybe they should really let Jack and Sharon buy them out of their half of the company.
Thus when Victator starts to bury Jack, without Nick and Phyllis being in the way of their continuing feuding fights!
Jack wants to be his own boss anyway, of running the magazine without Nick and Phyllis as co's.
Hey Jack dear, Restless Style isn't Jabot Cosmetics in your brain! [lol]
What you did to Adrian's article on Sabrina, was just unfair.
Where's the honor, in that Jack since Sabrina/child are now dead?!
First your niece Colleen with daddy Bradski, kills Adrian's book deal and now you alter the article as well.
It seems that Adrian should've never came to Genoa City either, since everybody has it in for him! [lol]
Adrian dear, maybe you think about relocating out of Genoa City and staying away so people can stop messing over you. [lol]
Get out while you can Adrian, before Victator burns up Jack's heels and shuts down Restless Style with a slandering lawsuit!

Victator/Sabrina:

Sabrina came in as a friend of Victoria's from Paris, but came to Genoa City to see Victoria and fell in love with Mumbly Grumbly Mustache.
Sabrina came in February at a time, when Hope Adams Wilson had just passed away on February 18, 2008.
Now 6 months later, Victor loses yet another wife and his unborn daughter in August 2008.
This would make me wonder about even considering ever to get remarried again, if was in Victor's shoes now!
Victor was sure kept in the dark of not really getting to know Sabrina's past with Philippe first.
Clearly she may yet still have some other unresolved things that hasn't come to light for Victor to know of.
Was Sabrina, ever going to live happily with child and Victor?
-------------------------

Hey Writers:

You really need to fill in the gaps of Sabrina's history dealings with the mob connections.
**** This has left me feeling like there's alot more to Sabrina then meets the eye! ****
However, i'm sorry that Sabrina and her unborn little girl are in soapopera heaven!

I will never feel any sympathy for Victor. Jack is right, he is nothing but a bully. Telling the mother of his kids that he wished it was her dead instead of Sabrina. Nikki didn't even bring David to town she just fell in love with the creep like he did with Sabrina. Which I don't think Victor really loved her. David might not have stayed if Victor hadn't offered him a job as Jack's Campaign Manager. So he needs to look in the mirror before he starts blaming somebody else.
