A long overdue Y & R round-up

First of all, I have to say that Friday's episode in which Nikki called off her marriage to Paul, was a pretty good episode. Although I hated that Nikki broke Paul's heart, essentially because Victor put a bug in her ear, at least the gravity of her decision felt authentic. Paul was a fantastic friend to her and he clearly adored her, but I still felt that that she was genuine when she said that she didn't want Paul to settle. This exchange also added to Nick and Victoria's conversation about their respective marriages; mind you, Nick is a dip$h*t for ping-ponging between Phyllis and Sharon. Still, I liked that he seem to have Nikki's back by fully supporting her impending marriage. And Victoria -- well, Victoria needs to wake up and smell the coffee. How she can see Victor and Nikki's relationship through such a romantic lenses doesn't jibe with Victoria's so-called savvy. And she needs to keep an eye on her marriage to JT because Victor isn't above putting a bug in her ear either.

As for Ashley... she's beginning to get on my nerves. First, she allowed Adam to convince her to ignore her instincts regarding her fall/miscarriage; now, she has given Adam free reign to continually d*ck around with her mind. I just want this whole fcuking storyline to be over and for Adam to get his... although, that little bit of comeuppance that he got on Friday was pretty sweet. Nikki slipping Paul a note about Adam being gay and getting caught (by Nikki) making out with Rafe was pretty awesome. Not only did it reiterate how deeply Nikki really cared for Paul and his, namely his daughter Heather, it gave Adam something else to do, besides eavesdropping other people's conversations. Heather confronting him and not giving an inch was enjoyable to watch. My hope is that Heather won't let this matter lie, despite dumping Adam. The initial clowning was cool, but there should be some more. Please?

As for hot Chance... bide your time, your Hotness. Let Chloe's heart break completely and pick them up, but don't be a tacky scavenger about it. And frankly, I didn't like the way Mac broke the news about she and Billy to Chloe. It was wholly unnecessary and very b*tchy. As if it was a total imposition to have Hot Chance shoved down one's throat... come on! And what was with the 'You lost' cr@p? If Mac can't see that Chloe's feelings for Billy was really genuine, then she needs to sit her @$$ down and stop trying to be Glinda the Good.

Now... to Hot Chance. I like lingering on Hot Chance. However, I am concerned that Nina will interfere with he and Chloe, which is somewhat understandable. Hot Chance is a catch, no doubt, but I think that when Chloe wakes up, she will appreciate him.

Hot Chance... yum!!!
