Episode 66 Morals

In plain English, these are the morals from Episode 66:

Why hasn't Jack convinced Diane to leave the `grate man'?

Can there be anything duller than Victor and Diane?

Enough already.

Will Sarah/Veronica find employment with Nikki a `grate experience'?

After Veronica spent so much time disguising her face, I just had to apply my running gag about Josh's willingness to offer his services to anyone at the drop of a hat.

But also, I've been trying to decide who's going to find out first about Veronica. Suddenly I realized that if she had any sense, she'd see that at least Nikki and maybe Joshua were irritatingly boring and she'd just give up on her plot.

Y&R is full of people obsessed with other people, but the weird thing is that one can almost never figure out what they see in those people. Maybe that's a commentary on how obsessed people think, but I don't buy it. I think it's just badly motivated plot setup. I want to see that there at least was once something, or could have been. For example, what does Tony see in Grace? I can't imagine. Neither can I imagine what Veronica sees in Joshua. We needed less `plotting' buildup and more `filling us in on past good times' buildup.

Will Cassie find a way out of those `grate meals' with Tony and Grace?

I was looking for something new to do with Cassie. She must be bored at home. And she's smarter than anyone else on the show. So a job seemed the obvious thing. I didn't know how this would turn out. I just had her march into Victor's office and let her strong character drive all the dialog. What an amazingly cute kid.

That's all for Episode 66's morals. Don't miss Episode 67 and its morals!
