Young and the Restless Message Board

"You must acknowledge that. In the end, you will bend, you will not break"

Good Advice from Madam Chauvin. She is right that Lily admitting that she isn't strong, only makes her stronger. I'm glad that Madam Chauvin provides a motherly support to Lily today, because she really needed it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the patio area, Jana tells Kevin to promise to hear her out, before he gets upset. Kevin already knows about her horoscope. She made a phony one, which is wackamo, ever for her. LOL. Jana only said that so he would think that stars are aligned for her. She has been offered a job. An upset Kevin ask where. Jana assures him that she would never leave him. This home, his home. Jana has been asked to be assistant to the curator at Newman Art Foundation. Kevin goes wow. Why would be upset about that. She worked at the gallery at Italy, and loved that stuff. Jana says that would mean she would be here only part time. Kevin teases that would be okay, she messes up a lot orders LOL Jana asks what? So he is allright with it, Kevin is happy for her and hugs her. I like that Kevin is so supportive toward Jana's new job..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Colleen calls Lily and welcomes her back. How was LA. Lily says it was amazing and can't wait to tell her about it. Colleen can't wait to hear it. Colleen needs her advice she has totally screwed and doesn't know how to fix up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 2
Jabot

Colleen wants the truth, how is she? Lily is fine, the past is the past. Colleen says it doesn't mean that she doesn't have feelings about it.

A confused Lily ask didn't she tell him to write it? Colleen says she was a idiot, the past isn't just the past. Lily asks, what was in the book. Colleen says names, fact, everything was well researched, hanks to her. There is things on her grandmother and father, that put them in so much danger. What did the Professor say?? Colleen says he they will talk about tonight, which means he plans to win her over to his point of view. That mean he is going to publish the book. Lily asks her Dad? Colleen gave him a advanced copy of the book to read. The Professor has no idea Lily is right that she better tell him before Brad does. Colleen says then he will have a total meltdown.

Jana asks if that Brian Willis? You know, I don't care for that piece.
Sabrina asks if she knows. Jana knows of him, he had a show in London. He is quite smashing. Sabrina hopes she is here for a good reason to accept the job offer. Jana would love the job, because it's hers. Jana has one question. Sabrina says dollar signs, money, salary?? Jana is sure it pays alot better than serving coffee and cleaning table. They laugh. She asks what is like working with the TGVN

He is reasonable, fair-minded, and surprising kind

ROFTL!!!! Is she dating somebody else. I'm sorry, that isn't the TGVN that I know. That just proves that Sabrina doesn't know TGVN at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 4
CL

The Professor asks why does she want to meet here. Colleen bluntly says public. The Professor gets that she is still upset about his book. Colleen wants to tell him something. She gave her father an advanced copy of the book.
~
An upset Professor asks why would she do that? Colleen was worried about her family. He states a complete breach of trust. Last year, when he was still writing it. He ask Colleen, if this bothers her in anyway, he will drop it. But she is the one, who gave the go ahead. Colleen knows she did, she was wrong and sorry. Adam retorts now she is sorry, after research and writing. Some of which she helped him with, now she has regrets. He is not pulling it back, it's unreasonable.

You acting like this is your book, not mine

Colleen says she is someone who is acting who cares about her family and their peace and safety s more important than any story, he wants to tell. Or does he see it differently. The Professor says don't pull that on her. Colleen thought they were more important. He retorts that oversimplication convently diminishes her own betray. He should thank her, for underscoring how immature to her. Colleen looks pain, don't say that. A ticked Professor says a logical conservation is a waste of breath with her. He is going to find her father, they have alot to talk about. Kevin, who has been eavesdropping, finds Colleen sobbing at her table.

I say this relationship is over now.
And the Professor had every right to be furious with Colleen. He gave her plenty of opportunity to tell him, not the write the book. It's too late now to back out. Colleen, caused her own misery by her own vindictive actions.

At Jabot, A worried Brad opens the Professor book to read. I'm sure he will be stoping the book next.

Lily/Cane/Chloe
Scene 1
Jabot

I'm a mean, lean, modeling machine Lily

Chloe says she is back, tell her everything. Lily says it was amazing, photographer was a diva and the dress size had to be alter, too large. It was fantastic. She has some test shots and Cane welcomes her back. Chloe says the picture was photographer. Lily saw some "famous" people, someone that worked with Johnny Depp(but she never saw him) She saw some famous models eating salad. Chloe said she fit in. Cane thinks she is exhausted. Lily is fine and Chloe said they should work off the memento. Chloe says that's what she expects from the great Druilla's daughter. Cane looks worried as Lily goes look at photos.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lily and Chloe are chatting as Cane interrupts and wants to her look at some lipstick samples. Cane says there you have it. And got him resigned to shamely, manipulation to spend time with the fresh faces of Jabot. Can't say it's his proudest moment. I'm glad that Lily admitted that she has been avoiding him. Cane says good, now he is suffering from clinical paranoia. Lily has really missed him. Being with him, reminds of her something, that she doesn't want to remember. Cane is sorry. Lily is over it. Cane suggests they get together and talk. Lily says of course.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 2
AC

Cane says that Lily can try to run away what happened by running away from him. Whether she is, that where she is, stuck in JJ thing. Lily can't help what if? She knows that he wanted that baby so much. She didn't at first. But then she started to love her/him too. Then she started planning, dreaming, all of a sudden it was over. Like it never happened, like she gave her heart away. But she did. Cane says no one blames her. Lily blames herself. Cane has a surprise for and will be back. Then Lily sees Madam Chauvin and they speak some French. Lily asks what is she doing here at the club. Madam is seeing an old friend, for tea. Usually they are at her home, but they decided to live dangerous. How is she? Lily lies she is fine. Chauvin notes her mother would blink if she was trouble with something. What is going on?? Lily lies nothing, she is great.
She notes there is no ring on her finger. Lily loves him, but it wasn't the right time. Chauvin says he seems like a good man. Lily says he is. She says but... Lily admits the last time, she saw her, she was pregnant with his baby. And she miscarriages. Mad Chauvin hugs and knows it hurts the heart. Lily says it's just really hard. Madame C. says she must acknowledge that. In the end, she will bend, not break. She is very strong like her mother. Lily doesn't feel very strong. Madame C. says admitting that makes her stronger. She wants her to come to studio if she wants to take a class. Lily doesn't dance. She is talking of dancing but living. Lily says yes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A touched Lily, in the room, says this is beautiful. She says awkwardly, she isn't ready. Cane doesn't have any ulterative moments, he just wanted a private place where they can talk. Neutral territory. Lily says it sounds like Monet garden. Cane says wee' and "I want to sweet you off your smelly feet"(LOL), that's the extent of French. So, why doesn't she tell him what she thinks. Lily wants to move on already. Cane says self grief.

I have had sadness for a year. I just want my life back

School, work, everything. She just wants a fresh start. She doesn't know if he still interesting in dating an aspiring model, student, game show host. Doesn't matter, as long as it her. Lily asks about a first date? Cane teases by asking "Are you asking me out on a date, Ms. Winters" Lily is and Cane accepts. Lily has such a nice happy smile as Cane kisses her on the cheek. I'm glad that they continued to deal together about their miscarriage. Lane was just wonderful today.

Adam admits that he wasn't entirely honest that things were going great in the office. Victor asks what is the problem. Adam says the office is great but feels like it wrong to be there. Victor says if he is here, Victoria isn't coming back. Adam hopes he is wrong, she was a definite asset here. Victor states "any of mine employees who come to me to tell me that resign effect immediately. Will have an enormous ifficult time regaining his trust" Adam looks nervous there.

TGVN said of the lesson that he learned is to be herself. His mother was herself, she was a remarkable woman. Adam asks if she was so remarkable, why didn't they work it out. Victor replies that they lived in two entirely different worlds. She had farm in Kansas, he had a big business to run. She wanted to go back to farm(doesn't blame her) and didn't want to live GC, all stranger to her.
He tells her that the kindness that he showed by asking how is behavior affected Victoria, was his mother in him

But your competitive side, your perhaps ruthless side, that's your Dad in you

Gee, Adam doesn't look to happy to hear that. And we saw Adam's conscience today. I think he enjoyed his little rivary with Victoria. I didn't like Victor brushing off what he did and justifying his behavior.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adam talks business but Victor didn't come for that reason. He has been thinking that he has been wasting money living at AC and wants him to live at the ranch. As usual, Sabrina interrupts and he will be with her, in a moment. He was saying that his wife is no longer in the house, his children is gone. He is his son and this will give them a chance to know each other a little bit more. Why doesn't he move to the ranch, Adam will think about it. Sabrina would flip out if he did LOL

They talk some French and Sabrina is happy about work. TGVN is happy that she is. Sabrina says he is going to get alot attention on the gallery circuit. Victor can hardly wait and chuckles. He is so glad that she came into his life. She feels the same way. TGVN is a very direct man, when he wants something, he goes after it. Sabrina says she knows it in her heart. They kiss.

ROFTL!! Well, Neil is still there.

Nikki says they have everybody that counts. They saved the best for last. Victoria doesn't know about that. She has a farewell present for her employees. As they know that Newman has beauty of nature, but they don't have the Fresh Face campaign Her thinking they tie the campaign to an eco friendly product line and they build the comapain while building the brand. Nikki says that is inspired. David, says it's could be a home. A not thrilled Jill says interesting, worth exploring. Nikki wants to hear more, walk with her to her office. David will join them.
Jill sarcastically says "A new Eco-friendly product line. Brad adds to join $6,000 others that have recently come to the market. Jill points that is why she worries when new hires come on too fast, too strong. Brad asks if she wants him to ease up. Jill bluntly tells to do exactly what he is doing as Brad smiles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Nikki asks for summary for quarter report. David says within the hour. He would also like to include a new marketing pitch, a few paragraph. Nikki says save the paper, as long it doesn't include the words "Fresh Face" Victoria points out that it's a successful campaign. Nikki says it's legacy, they need to make a new mark. David says this new idea could do just that. He has an old friend, scratch that.. Vegas buddy(Red flag alert, there, Nikki) Victoria ask if he lives there. No, I bet he gambles here. David says he is a big time movie producer, his last comedy grossed 100 million. Now, his next film, premiers next month, a romantic thriller taking place in a rain forest. What if Jabot sponsored the prier and party after. It will be pick up by every cable TV, video entertainment outlook. Their products, logo will be seen everywhere. Nikki loves it. Victoria says set in the rainforest. David says can't get any greener that that. Nikki says they redesign the packaging to tie in with the movie. Victoria says raise the price point and donate the additional profit to a green charity. David says that's genius and Victoria agrees. Nikki says this has become priority one. She wants to keep going with David on this. She asks her to work on the quarterlies with Brad. Can she handle it. Victoria says it won't be the first time.
Nikki tells him afterward that is the best idea that she has heard in a while. It makes them hip and socially aware, and have to make it a reality in a month. They both reach for the phone, Nikki says one of them will use a cell phone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Nikki explains to the plan in the meeting, Jill wants read a plan, packaging mock-up, and look at the press kit. Anybody read a script? Not yet. She is very impressed, read that script. Who get the pat on the back. Nikki says joint effort. Jill says congrats to all involved, and that's all for this week. Victoria has to check her message, and they will finish the quarterlies.
Afterwards a sarcastic Jill says "Daring Duo, comes up a good idea. Brad just hopes that producer delivers. These Hollywood types rank below used Car sales man. LOL. If he is conversial or if the script in the dog. He is sure that Nikki and David have a back up as Jill looks worried. If I was, I would check this producer out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brad sends the report and Victoria says bet he thought this would happen again. Brad has learned in the business world, never say never. Especially when the last name Newman is involved. Victoria says cryptically, there is alot of illegal things in the business, deserve a big fat no. Brad says to make sure that you don't get caught LOL. Victoria is silent and Brad says hello, sense of humor, joking. Victoria says not funny. Brad says a little bit. FYI, Victoria won't be using her insider Newman knowledge for their benefit. She will make sure of it. Brad wouldn't expect anything less.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David announces it's official, they are soul sponsor. Nikki says great and the script. David says it should be in her email, as they speak. Nikki says he is pretty incredible. David says they should send Lily to premier, she could walk the red carpets, do some interview. Something to think about. David gets a call and said Nikki will sign on it. Nikki says he is right about them. She thinks they should start planning a big gorgeous wedding in four months. David says it sounds like a eternity. Nikki can't wait to be his wife. Four months will be fast for the wedding, she has in mind. David says whatever she wants. Boy, Doesn't David look happy, like he is marrying the golden goose. And Nikki is a fool to cast aside her doubts, because David has a great marketing idea(shakes head)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David is on the phone to Andy that Nat's Dream would come in. He isn't stopping until he is 5 grand up. Give him two dimes on the reds. Brad makes a call to Andy asks if their boy is on a roll. He wants him back in the hole.

$25 grand, if you can get him to bet big on a sure loser.

LOL, oh Brad, you are so good, when you are so bad LOL. Keep up the good work LOL And how stupid was David, talking about betting on horse, when Nikki could hear him any minute.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brad tells David that he told him that not worry about paying him back. Knowing his past history, he doesn't want him to dig another deep hole for himself. It would be a good idea to set up a instalment agreement. Let's start with this week paycheck. David says okay, he isn't taking this lightly. But David looks worried as he doesn't know that Brad is about to pull the rug underneath him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David tells Nikki that Colonnade Room has just an cancellation for Aug 17th. Sounds like a perfect day for a wedding. Nikki thought he was on a business call. David says she wanted it grand, nothing will be grander than Collande Room. Nikki says she married TGVN there. David didn't know that, they will do it somewhere else. Nikki says there is no beautiful place for a wedding. She remarks it doesn't give them much time, but lets get married. Nikki looks excited as David book the place. David says this will be the most beautiful wedding. Nikki says it doesn't give them much time to plan everything. David says it will be perfect, she is always perfect. They kiss as Victoria enters. She tells her that could be grounds for her lawsuit. Nikki is so glad she is here, they have a set a wedding date.
Victoria puts on a fake smile, but look as thrilled as I am. I really don't want this wedding to happen
