The Soapbox: Young & the Restless

If you saw Y&R today, you know that this episode confirms the emergence of AWESOME COLLEEN. By getting all in Victor's face to claim her dead father's board seat, Colleen has done something that neither Nick or Victoria (or most people) have ever been able to -- possess a backbone in the presence of The Mustache. It's sheer awesomeness, first witnessed during Brad's funeral visitation when Colleen told Victor off like a pro, Uncle Jack cheering in the background.

Also notable today was the re-emergence of Nasty Cane. It's hard to figure out how it's possible for someone so boring to be so nasty... Yet somehow, he manages it. I thought it was hilarious that after all the hell Chloe has put him through, he still, somehow, does not want to be done with this already. He's the baby's true father, just in case anyone missed it, and -- tantrum time -- he's not going to give Cordelia up! Especially not to charming (& interesting) brother Billy.

Come on. I know Cane probably bonded with the baby pre-delivery, but at this point she's only been out of the womb for a couple of hours. And here's when Nasty Cane turns into Psycho Cane, signing the birth certificate of an hours-old kid that he knows isn't his. Wow. I'd almost feel sorry for Chloe except she created this baby daddy monster all. on. her. own.
