Newman Anonymous!

Tuesday, May 06 2008
Nick learns about his sister, Adam threatens Restless Style, Nikki and Jill have it out, and Colleen deals with a big problem!


At Crimson Lights, Phyllis and Nick are fixing their coffee when he receives a text message from his sister asking him to meet her at Newman Enterprises right away. He then tells a reluctant Phyllis that she'll have to take the meeting with Adam for him. Meanwhile, Adam is speaking with Skye in his room, when Phyllis calls and arranges to meet him. Skye asks him who Phyllis is, and he replies, "Strictly business." Skye's not buying it though! Meanwhile, Nick arrives over at Newman and J.T. and Victoria bring him up to speed on her resignation. As she packs up her desk, Nick seems puzzled. He asks J.T. how he feels about Vikki leaving. J.T. admits he'll miss seeing her and Reed around the building, but says his wife is happy. Once alone, Victoria and Nick discuss their life in Victor's shadow, and she jokes that they should start "Newman Anonymous"! Nick laughs, then notes that Adam will be joining it too eventually!



On the first floor of the Restless Style building, Sabrina welcomes Victor in. He tells her that he is still upset about Victoria leaving the company. Sabrina tells him to consider that Nick and Victoria may just need to find their own paths. Victor says that would be fine, except that they both left in anger. He admits it feels like Victoria has left him - not just the company! Sabrina tries to reassure him that Victoria loves him. Suddenly, Neil comes in looking for Victor's signature on some papers. Victor breaks the news to Neil that Victoria has left Newman. Neil is stunned as Victor explains his daughter's issues, and says he hopes she'll come back one day.



At Jabot, Jill overhears Gloria talking to her lawyer and telling him she definitely wants to go ahead with the charitable donation! As Jill approaches, she hangs up. Jill tells her that when people dump huge sums of money on charity, the motives are often shady! Jill then heads into the conference room, and is shocked by Nikki's announcement that Victoria will be coming to work for Jabot! Jill is rude about Victoria conveniently having her mother to give her a job, and Brad pipes up that it is Jabot's gain. Nikki, meanwhile wonders aloud what is going on over at Newman! Later, Brad and Jill talk about Victoria coming to the company. Jill wonders how good a fit she will be, and Brad says she will do nicely, but may be distracted by the new baby and marriage! Later, as Jill and Nikki argue over Nikki's use of an ad agency Jabot had once let go, Nikki angrily asks Jill what this animosity is really about. "Do you think I'm padding the payroll?" As Jill makes snarky remarks about Nikki hiring her fiance and her daughter, Nikki responds that she would never hire someone as a favor, and Victoria's work will be exemplary!



Kevin is approached by a distressed Colleen at Crimson Lights. She tells him that Adrian's book is coming out and back when he was researching it, she told him everything about her family, and also told Adrian he could use real names! Kevin realizes that Jana will be in the book and Colleen apologizes. When Jana approaches him later, Kevin is impatient with her as he worries. He goes back over to Colleen and tells her she has to get her boyfriend to kill the book! Just then, Jeffrey walks in and Jana wastes no time in reminding him that he truly loves Gloria. He groans about it for a moment, then calls Jill for a lunch date. Back across the room, Colleen sits down with Adrian, who has just come in, and tells him that it was wrong of her to allow him to use real names - she was so angry back then! She asks him not to publish his book! On the other side of the room, Jana has it out with Jeffrey about his reluctance to just give Gloria a chance - she's trying so hard to change her karma after all! Jana later tells Kevin her take on Jeff and Gloria, but Kevin warns her not to encourage him. Jana leaves and Gloria comes in. Over at their table, Adrian asks Colleen what it is she would like him to tell his publisher?! Colleen protests that it's her family! Adrian refuses to do it, and she asks if he could at least pull the sections that will cause the most trouble. Adrian gets up and leaves! Kevin rushes over and asks Colleen how it went. She says "terrible." She tells Kevin she is going to find her dad! She heads down to Jabot and finds Brad alone in the conference room. She tells him she has an advanced copy of Adrian's book - and it's bad! Meanwhile, back at Jabot, Gloria approaches Jeff and asks if he really wants to divorce her, just as he is about to answer, Jill walks in to meet him for lunch. Gloria walks away. Across the room, Kevin calls Jana, but gets no response. Jana, however, is at that moment accepting a job as Sabrina's assistant!



Skye and Adam arrive on the main floor of the Club, and they spot Phyllis. As Adam and Skye say goodbye, she wishes him 'happy hunting' as she says goodbye. They agree to speak 'whenever', and he goes into the dining room to sit with Phyllis. She notices the lipstick and teases him. Grinning, he admits he was just saying goodbye to a friend. As talk turns to the ad, Phyllis tells him they had to change the layout. Adam is not happy about losing position and space to Forrester and threatens to pull their ad permanently if the original agreement isn't honored. He then tells Phyllis he has another meeting and says he hopes they meet again under less contentious circumstances. She agrees.



As Victor arrives back at Newman Enterprises and sits at his desk, J.T. comes in to tell him about a minor problem. Victor tells him that he has been an asset, but he thinks it's time for him to move on. J.T. asks, "I'm being fired?" Victor explains that his job requires a great deal of confidentiality, which might be compromised with his wife no longer working there. J.T. is insulted, and informs Victor that he is a very loyal person and stands by his word! He tells Victor that if he goes through with this, he'll be losing two good employees in one day! Victor stops his son-in-law as he is walking out and tells him he liked that answer! "I'd like you to stay." Meanwhile, down the way, Victoria is saying goodbye to Neil. She tells him about her decision to go to Jabot. He says he'll miss the idea of seeing her in the big man's chair one day, and she tells him that perhaps it was meant for him! After Neil leaves, Sabrina stops in and says she is sorry that Victoria is leaving like this. Meanwhile, in Victor's office, Nick visits and urges his father to try and stop Victoria from leaving. When Victor refuses, Nick tells him he will never change and stalks out past Sabrina. As she settles in the office and tells Victor they've won the latest auction, he tells her that he is falling more in love with her by the day! Down the hall, Victoria sadly turns out the light in her office and shuts the door for the last time! Nick, in the meantime, heads back to Restless Style and fills Phyllis in on Victoria's job change. She informs him that unless he can talk him out of it - Adam is pulling the Beauty of Nature ad! Victoria, meanwhile, has gone straight over to Jabot where Nikki welcomes her with a big hug! Back at Newman, Adam arrives and Victor informs him that he and Victoria have had a falling out and he would like to offer Adam her office! Appearing stunned and somewhat concerned, Adam says, "Thank you, sir. I would like that." Victor barks, "I want you to move in right away." As Victor leaves, Adam looks worried.



Next on The Young and the Restless

Nikki tells Victoria that this is a new chapter in her life. Victoria replies, "How the mother and the daughter teamed up to bury the father's company!"

David makes more bets over the phone.

Brad tells a bookie that there is $25,000 in it for him if he can get David to bet big on a sure loser!

Maybe Adam isn't really Victors son but someone who assumed the real Adams ID. Hope wouldn't of known (being blind) & she was incoherent at the end (voice recognition). Fake Adam could of killed real Adam, studied up on The Newman Empire & Victor & presto change-o, a son Victor feels guilty for not being a father to. It seems that Adam has an agenda & it is starting to play out. No more siblings to compete with. He has a clear shot. Maybe real Adam is in some South American jail, & he will show up just in time to stop fake Adam from taking what is rightfully his. I think I watch too much TV.

I also agree with most of you. Nick and Victoria, are two very, very,very, spoiled Kids. That family, including, Nikki, would not be anything, without Victor. Yes he tends to be ruthless, at times, but what business man hasn't resorted to ruthlessness, to save their company. I think Nikki, is ungrateful,and has forgotten where she came from. She has hooked up with a scoundral and will find out, she left a man who worshiped her. Now Victor, has found someone else to give his love, and fortune, to. Nikki, has nerve to be upset, after,cheating, with David, and rubbing the relationship, in Victor's face. Victor,proved to be a better man, when David,showed up at Victors house, Victors property, and Victors business, like he owned it. Nikki is a fool, and will find out soon, how much of a fool.

I can't believe that even though Hope was blind, and incoherent (she was coherent), that she would not know her own son. There are other things that blind people rely on. I would know things about my son, even if I were blind, that wouldn't be his voice. Just saying.

And I do believe that she would have had some pictures up at her house, I mean blind people still decorate, at least Hope's house had decor.
But anything is possible in soap land, just don't think that saying Hope wouldn't know her own son is kind of crude.

I just think that he is the brat, not his half siblings. He blames them for his daddy not being there. Victor acts like everything is ok for him checking out of their life, and he can just make up for it by taking away from Victoria and Nick and giving to Vic jr. Well, it's not ok, which he is going to find out.
Some people keep raving about how smart Victor is and how he can't be taken advantage of. They must not have watched when Leanna Love did her thing on him. Or how he got busted for illegally bribing customers into boycotting Jabot.
Or when he held Julia in his basement for over a month against her will.
Or his affair with his secretary, and how he believed that Cole was his son without checking in to it.
Victor has plenty of flaws, and he is not the smartest on the planet, especially when it comes to women.
He has made lots of errors in judgement, lots.

Wait a minute! Victoria is not a spoiled brat and she doesn't owe anything to Victor. Have all of you forgotten that Victor made Victoria Scott's assistant, her former husband. She came up with Brass and Sassy, the concept, the advertising and it was a huge success even though Victor thought it would fail. Neil was her and Scott's boss and she proved herself time and time again. She didn't just walk-in to Newman and become co-CEO's with Nick. Nick on the other hand did just walk-in and Victor made him co-CEO. He and Sharon use to own and run the coffee house, they sold them to Kevin and he became co-CEO even though Victoria had been there longer and had lauched a successful brand and campaign which turned into a whole new division for Newman. So to all of you that are saying Victoria is a brat expecting Victor to hand her something you have not been paying attention or don't remember how her working at Newman began. Over the past 2 years Victor has insulted and degraded his wife and his daughter. Nikki may have been a stripper but she was never a hooker but she has grown since 20+ years ago. She no longer has to get on her knees and thank the almighty Victor for who she is. This isn't Pretty Woman and he didn't change her inside and out. He's acted for months that it is almost impossible to believe that she, Nikki Newman, could possibly have grown-up from that what 19/20 year old he meet all those years ago and have a good head on her shoulders. He's known Sabrina and Adam all of 5 seconds and he's given this woman who he doesn't really know the ability to buy priceless pieces of art for him. She and him had no hesistation about sleeping with one another even though she was suppose to be Victoria's best friend. I'm sorry but if my bestfriend starts sleeping with my father someone is going to get their butt kicked. I would not be getting over that ever. The fact my father had so little regard for our relationship and that this trap was never a friend to begin with. Heck no I wouldn't want to be her friend again EVER! The only thing she would feel is my hatred and my fist when I decked her. And why is Jill supposedly all knowing as I remember it Jill got into Jabot by sleeping with John, doesn't anyone remember that. She got into the Chancellor family by sleeping with Katherine's son and having Cain. She started out as nothing more than an opportunistic tramp who weaseled her way into Katherine's family and only in the last 10 years found out that she's Katherine's daughter. Victoria knows how to run a company, probably better than Nikki, especially a cosmetics company since she started out with Brass and Sassy. None of these characters started out with business degrees (Jill, Brad, Victoria, Nikki or Nick) but most have proven themselves to be good business heads. So stop with this "someone handing them something" or Nikki is too dumb to run a company. What credentials did Jill have to run Chancellor? She wasn't even head of Jabot, Jack was the head of Jabot and Jill answered to him. Then her mommy gave her the entire Chancellor Enterprise control. So if anyone was handed something without proving themselves it's Jill and Brad has been a male tramp his entire time on the show and hasn't run a division of anything ever. He slept with money and that's how he got money and positions in company's.

victor don't care, what his children think or feel.if only they knew that none of them would have been born. they exist because their mother refuse to have an abrotion.

Why do we have to keep seeing The Newman family with their dysfunction can't they write something more enjoyable. If I were Victor I would forget about a son & daughter who always want totry and take their dad down! That to me is not right just because you don't agree with your parents you should not always try to one up them or take them down. Also Nick & Victoria have had plenty of opportunity, infact what others only dream of. I don't want Victor back with NIkki or the other two brats unless it will be civil. And for all those siding how Victor is controling, I would be too if I had a son who constantly tries to sell me out and a daughter who flips at the switch. I am sick of the Newmans either kill them off or let them be with broom Hilda Stupivsor Nikki at Jabot.
