Nick takes his turn to read – a Dad’s gotta do what a Dad’s gotta do….

At the bar, Neil flashes back to telling Hilary that payback’s a bitch, ain’t it my love? Hilary walks off.

Mike looks stressed out – he was there that night – Devon didn’t seem up for it. Devon wonders if he should tell the cops. No! they’ll think you an unfaithful husband. This info stays in this room! A cop enters on cue – recognize this? Hilary’s purse washed up on the shore – the search has turned from rescue to recovery.

Neil looks conflicted as he flashes back to picking up the phone Hilary tossed at him – hearing a scream in the distance, he looks over the ledge.





Next: Adam’s all apologies – I should have told you Jack called and wanted me to move back to GC, Yes, what were you thinking buying us a house?! Chelsea snaps (Connor in her arms) … Nick (Sage at his side) announces they’re getting married. Tonight? Noah’s shocked …. Billy, Abby, Ashley, Vikki are assembled in Victor’s office – each family will walk away with everything they had before the merger, Jack announces. Not quite everything, Victor corrects (Jack gives him a stunned look)

‘The Universe is conspiring against me’. It may sound like a silly soap cliche, but it’s also a pretty good description of how I felt this month; when I lost my Mom and my beloved website at the same time. I was powerless to save either, and as defeated as I’ve ever felt.

That’s when I got a text from our resident tech guru Lyndsay, and in what I can only describe as a ‘Jesus take the wheel’ moment, she asked me to put everything in her hands – and onto her shoulders. So, I threw up my hands and let her run with it. Lyndsay worked tirelessly to restore the site and move it to a stable home (which is not as quick or as easy as it sounds)

Lyndsay didn’t ask for compensation, but she sure does deserve it (and quite honestly, could use it) As such, I’m setting up a week-long fundraiser to offer Lyndsay a tangible thank you.

Please join me in showing Lyndsay how much we appreciate her hard work. The amount is not important. Every dollar counts. All funds go directly into her Paypal account. All donors will be publicly thanked. Thanks for reading.

My Thoughts: Yet another reminder that Sharon’s healthy and can conceive again – despite most experts concurring that it would be virtually impossible for a woman her age to conceive without fertility treatment. OK, so there’s hints they are going to use revert Sharon to being mentally unstable (her ‘I deserve to be happy, right?’ was equal parts pathetic and desperation. I guess no one’s to give a rats ass about Dylan’s mental state… Ahem, yes Nikki – by all means all jotted down advice for the parents to be must be ‘up to Newman standards’ For the Newmans are perfect parenting personified. I wonder what parenting advice Kevin could possibly provide – don’t lock your kid in a a closet? The baby shower was almost un-watchable. Why are men invited? I hope the bar was serving alcohol, not just iced tea. Why close the whole rooftop for a crowd that aren’t going to even use the pool? …. I realize that soaps operate on a limited budget, but can’t they ever go on a field trip? Surely there’s a park somewhere near the studio they could use as cheaply as erecting some fake shrubbery that’s supposed to look exotic. And Hilary’s distant scream actually made me chuckle out loud. So it seems that Neil didn’t toss her off the mountain – so after hearing a scream, how could he have ‘closure’?? Was it Collin? Who knows or cares? Not even Jill; who’s been away on business for what seems like months. Why was all the sand stuck to the phone? Had it been dipped in something sticky first? .. Neil is guilty of being a fluid liar; even sending Nikki some photos he probably found online … Of course Mike believes that Devon didn’t sleep with the hooker – he also paid for a night on non-sex. I’m surprised it wasn’t the same hooker. Who knew GC had so many of them?
