Let Victor Newman die!!!!

Please, TPTB at CBS, let his cranky, lying, vindictive @$$ slip off this mortal coil.

And please reverse Colleen's irreversible brain damage, because viewers know where the current course is leading.

Sadly, since Y & R rarely cops out when it comes to real-life scenarios like brain damage, it looks like Colleen will die and Victor will be the lucky recipient of her heart, since she agreed to be a organ donor upon her death. And quite frankly, this doesn't sit well with me at all.

For months, Victor treated this girl with such contempt, which was completely unjustified. And given that his pathological need to stick it to Jack led to Colleen's death and the fact that he lied, bold-faced, to Colleen's aunt and mother when confronted about his continued misdeeds and negligence when it comes to caring for those he supposedly love, this direction seems very cruel.

This isn't the General Hospital BJ/Maxie heart transplant storyline. There is no way that the audience will cry for Victor or the Newmans; there will be tears for the Abbotts and the Carltons. And while many, like myself, are feeling rage, the rage will escalate because we know that the Jack/Victor rivalry will not end. Jack will not let this stand and Billy will be in the back, egging him on, and frankly, that will be completely understandable. Victor, on the other hand, may feel some guilt about how he treated Colleen and the ways he set her death in motion, but he will get over it and resume his vendetta with Jack because the d*ck can't help himself. Yes, I know that Jack has done many things to Victor, but he usually pays for it, in some way; Victor rarely, if ever, pays for his dirty tricks and machinated cruelties. And it also doesn't sit well that Victoria will get a second chance with Colleen's ex, JT, since she is still alive and that she will fake remorse about how she aped her father's cruelties towards Colleen and feign gratitude for Colleen's 'gift of life'. Like Victor, Victoria will revert to her raggy behavior after a brief period of mourning and placating JT.

Surprisingly, I think that the Williams family deserve more tears than the Newmans. Although Patty was integral to Colleen's death, this woman was clearly mentally disturbed and shouldn't have been dragged into Victor's vendetta against Jack. And the scene when Patty surrendered to the GCPD was heart-wrenching. And as I mentioned weeks ago, Paul was more engaged in resolving this situation than the very dude who set this whole thing in motion. And Paul's only interest in this was, in theory, Patty, but the public safety of others was a very close second. Meanwhile, Victor, whose wife, granddaughter, and goddaughter were impacted by Patty, sat on his fcuking hands for a long-@$$ed time. Paul will be feeling this tragedy stronger than the fcuking Newmans, including Nikki, who reverted back into the blinded wife role she rocked for 20+ years. Poor Paul.

But back to the Abbotts - there is more pain in store for them, involving Ashley's baby, although it may be postponed by a typical baby switch story.

Can't the Abbotts catch a break?
