The Soapbox: Young & the Restless

So it's official -- Nasty Cane is here to stay. Which, for me, makes him 100% more interesting than Nice Cane. And hopefully 100% less appealing to Lily, though the verdict's still out on that one (maybe we'll know more tomorrow). But if I were Chloe, I'd be taking very specific notes documenting everything Nasty Cane does from here on out. Because if this Delia tug-o-war does end up in court, Chloe's going to need all the ammunition she can get, which at this point NC is supplying in spades. Picking fights that end in throwing unreturned punches against charming brother Billy doesn't seem like the smartest way to get custody of a newborn, especially in the presence of multiple witnesses. Nothing like a domineering "I'm in charge here" proclamation to persuade everyone you'll be a splendid father.

In other developments, Sharon has quickly morphed from a mildly disturbed shoplifter into someone who is actually losing her mind. It never once occurred to me that she might not fully realize what she was doing, yet after seeing her unload on Nick today and freak out in front of Eden, I'm convinced Jack is right and she really is on the edge. Still, Jack can claim all he wants that none of this is his fault... and that's all it is, an empty claim. Take a little responsibility, please. If you'd tried for even two consecutive days to be a decent partner, she probably wouldn't have been alone at the cabin at all... and neither the Brad thing nor the Nick THING would have happened the way it did. Though I suppose Noah would dead instead... so there's that.
