The "Rotten Bastard" of GC

Victor and Nikki's stellar scene starts at 2:36!

February wrapped up and March came in like a lion on Y&R!

Best scene of the week goes to Victor and Nikki (aka Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott). We love watching these soap stars because of their epic chemistry, and they sure didn't disappoint us this time!

     Victor goes to great lengths to set up a romantic dinner at the ranch. In protest, Nikki smashes her glass of sparkling cider, telling the love of her life that flowers and romance can't make up for his foolishness (aka trying to break up his daughter's marriage). In an effort to keep Nikki from leaving, Victor pipes up, "I'll tell you what you want to hear. I'm a rotten bastard."

                                                                    LOL!

     But wait, soap fans! It gets even better when Victor insists that Nikki accept his dishonesty because he's always a bastard. Eric Braeden, you have mastered the art of playing a "crotchety old man-child!" Soap fans, if you haven't watched these scenes, I implore you to view them because my descriptions here can't fully do them justice. You will laugh for minutes on end because this episode is filled with soapy goodness.

                                              ....and in other Genoa City news....

-Chelsea signs custody papers for her unborn child. Billy and Vicki can't wait to finally have a child of their own (is it just me, or does Vicki seem to forget she already has a perfectly good son?).

-"Sarge" challenges Jack in the most entertaining ways. Jack realizes he must work at recovery the hard way and check his ego at the door.

-Neil and Harmony start " jive talkin' " over music and funky dance moves. Tucker warns Harmony not to get any ideas about Neil, who is already a married man.

-Avery realizes Phyllis has been telling the truth about their father, who worked as a seedy financial advisor and robbed people.

-Avery helps Daisy Carter get out of jail. Daisy regains full custody of Lucy. In a riveting scene, Phyllis is forced to give Lucy up. Daisy even brings a court order and police back-up.

-Daniel stands his ground and refuses to fight for custody of Lucy.

-Victoria accepts the position of CEO for Beauty of Nature. Genevieve is ecstatic. Victor is angry. Victoria vows that her relationship with her father, Victor, is over (where have we heard that before?).

-"Icky Ricky" (Ricky Williams) writes a story about Adam and his quest to help Patty escape from custody. Ricky shows the story to Phyllis, who buys it from him then decides not to publish it. This comes on the heels of Nick's revelation that Sharon and Adam will be living together while Adam adjusts to his blindness. Ricky threatens to take the story elsewhere. Phyllis reminds him she still owns the story and can do whatever she wants with it.

Are you excited, Y&R fans? I am. Get set for another riveting week of drama....
