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!

Venonda 2n1

Woman I have to tell you, you just made my morning. I just got done reading the last of Monday's posts and haven't even read today's recap yet!

I read your post where you referred to Nikki as 'stepmommy dearest' - I am laughing so hard - I LOVE IT! That's the best name for her yet - you see, I'm a Nikki HATER! So don't be surprised if you see me using that on here!

THANKS FOR THE MORNING WAKE UP CALL - now I'll have my coffee and read the recaps for today!

Posted by sleekpat at Tuesday, May 06 2008 06:36 AM

Yeah, Nikki's looking really stupid. I like Vikki and all, but business is business, and she's hiring Vikki just because she's her daughter, we all know that. And Puppy Chow, please, the first chance he got he was trying to scam money out of Jabot with switching suppliers and taking kickbacks for his gambling, we all saw it coming.

Adumb... Snot rag was looking nervous when Victator, the MMM offered him Vikki's old office??? I have a feeling that little snot rocket knows he's in over his head. Now he really has to prove himself, can you say "I think I need to change my underwear I think I just had an accident"???

Victator... What a fool!!! There may be those who say Nick and Vikki are spoiled, and to a point they are, BUT, Vikki has made NE millions. She started them in the direction of cosmetics with Brash and Sassy years ago, which was very successful. And I have a question. Mac and Crazy Kev bought the coffee house from Nick and Sharon years ago, why is Nick borrowing against his trust fund to buy a warehouse??? And didn't they own another coffee house in another city, I remember them interviewing the woman they hired to be the manager. If he had the money to open them, why is he strapped for cash now, I mean he was Co-CEO, or something of Newman Ent, wasn't he making something like a six figure salary for years, or was he working for free??? He doesn't pay rent, so where did the money go??? This whole SL makes no sense to me, am I the only one who's thinking this way??? The writers need to get up to speed, because they seem to be waaaayyyy behind fans who've watched the show for years.

Jill... Fire Nikki, Pole Cat's gonna be the downfall of Jabot.

Scambrina... Tsk, tsk, tsk, she's pathetic, but I don't think she's in cahoots with snot rag anymore, he's all for himself, I don't think they even like each other, he can't take the fact that she's involved with MMM, he wants daddy all to himself. Adumb. Talk about spoiled and childish, there you have it in that nutcase.

JT... Doesn't that moron see that he's the only thing connecting MMM to Vikki now??? Man up, stop being a rent-a-cop and either find a real job, or stay home and take care of your kid!!! As long as JT's working there Victator feels he has some kind of control over his daughter, just like he has control over Nick by owning the loan on that warehouse.

I can understand where Jill is coming from. That is her family's business and Jabot is slowly being taken over by Newmans. Adam is going to fail somewhere big time and Victor is going to regret having put all his faith in one child that he really does not know. I am sorry but there are a lot of people in this world that have MBA's and are just not the brightest when it comes to management and making the big decision. Hands-on experience can be a plus and that is what Nick and Vick brought to the table. You can't knock Victor down in business but you sure can knock him down when it comes to family.

Can we please move past the Gloria/William mess? If I hear the word "karma" one more time, I think I'm going to scream.

I can feel Jill getting geared up for a major smackdown. I can hardly wait. Jill has been too quiet for too long. She certainly doesn't mix business with family and is getting more furious by the second that Nikki is bringing her family in. Wonder if it will be Jill who brings down David Chow since Jill is a bottom-line kind of girl and David is taking kickbacks. Hm-m-m. Victoria is no dummy when it comes to her job but she shoots herself in the foot with her self-pity and whineing. Maybe she will get a grip and help Jill take down David since Vikki never trusted him to begin with. Good thinking, Victoria.

You'd think that Barney Fife would realize, being the super-detective that he would like to think he is, that just by his remaining at NE would be giving Victor a foot in the door, control-wise. Victor knows that Barney is now his only link to his family so he wants him around. Dumb, Barney. Start looking for another job someplace and everybody let Victor alone to come to terms with his own decisions and behavior problems. Them let Victor alone? Not a chance!

Posted by nonnie7 at Tuesday, May 06 2008 06:59 AM

I think I need to clarify something I said earlier about Jill not mixing family and business. Yes, Cane is her son and he is in the business but I don't think, for one second, that if he were up to some shenanigans with the business that she wouldn't deal with it right there and then. If it meant Cane leaving the business - oh, well, Cane who?

Actually Jabot is Jack's family business, not Jill's Jill only married money again!!! IF Gloretard didn't get away with that face cream dibacle Jack would be owner of Jabot and running his fathers family business now!! I don't care a whole lot for Jack, BUT I do care for the underdog and Jack is an underdog here, Jabot is Jack's company, NOT Jill's or Nikki's!!!
Victoria is good at what she does, didn't she start brash and sassy at Jabot?
sleekpat, you are right on as ususal my friend, Nick should have hundreds of thousands of dollars somewhere and why hasn't Jack put any money into anything? Jack has the bank!!! Plus the magazine deal that they can't handle 2 whole clients, ridiculous!!! Too ridiculous for my taste!!!
bermuda, morning!!!

Posted by sleekpat at Tuesday, May 06 2008 07:30 AM

Winchester, you are right, by rights, Jack should be the one in control of that business, even though John gave Jill 25% in their divorce settlement, rightfully it should be Jack's, but, Kay arm twisted Jack into selling it for next to nothing, so, technically, it's Chancellor property, and Jill is Kay's daughter, so she is looking after her mother's interest, Kay owns Jabot. And you're right, I think everyone's wondering, what do Jack and Sharon contibute to the magazine, they haven't spent a dime, but want to be in on all the decisions??? Really, if Jack isn't putting any money into the building what's his purpose??? And Sharabed, they can hire someone to do what she's doing, I think Cloeriform could probably do that job of photo shoot direction just as well. The only two I actually see really doing anything at Restless Style are Nick and Demon Girl.

Good morning, Winchester!
Anyone seen passions observer yet?

Well, well. Now for my morning rant. Victor is slowly ridding himself of the many albatrosses around his neck. First is that stinking piece of topless bar trash - finally (about 30 years to late). Then his back-stabbing self-important little s.o.b RiNICKulous, and at long last, his wailing and whining brat Sicktoria. A pretty impressive clean-up in such a short time.

Now he'd better wake up and discover that this latest piece of fecal matter that he's gotten himself involved with is just that, and send her back to the hole she slithered out of.

Please go take care of that Victor, then go and bond with your son Adam. I love your determination and your refusal to let any of those freaks pull you down.

You should be proud of your son Adam. He is like you. I think he has something up his sleeve and you are his target, but all that could all be stopped if you and he take the time to realize that you are two of a kind. Take on the City and everyone in it. I love the obvious 'There's a right way, a wrong way, and there's my way. You'll do it my way' about you. Go kick some butt and dare them to object.

Start with that snake you've gotten yourself ensnared by, along with the one you just got rid of, and drop them in a pit and let them fight till they both lay belly up.

Go my man, I know you can do it! Show us all who is BOSS!
(Just leave my Jack alone)

Brad is the DEVIL!!! But, I love how he's manipulating Chow-Wow!! He is tossing out the crickets and bait, and Chow-Wow is biting at every turn. Can't wait to see him SINK! Nikki is TOO DUMB! Jana and Sabrina~~Hmmmm...

Fireworks for Nick, Adam and Phyllis...wonder who'll win.

Things wil get turned around before Gloria looses everything. She and Jeff will eventually get together. Stop the madness, writers!!!
