Daily Scoop (August 9, 2007) Stay in the Loop

Key playas today in Genoa City, August 9, 2007

Gloria:
She passed out yesterday when she William’s twin brother. After she was revived, Jeff formally introduced himself to the group. Jeff tells Gloria that he and William’s parents were divorced when the boys were 5 years old. His parents had a violent relationship. When the divorce dust settled, Jeff went with mom and William went with Dad. He and William communicated occasionally via emails and birthday cards. He recalled that William sent him an email telling him that he met a woman that made life worth living (Gloria) after his wife died. Gloria wanted to know why he didn’t surface earlier. Jeff told them he worked for a multinational company in Bolivia and he got an email from a cousin saying that William had a stroke. So he came to see William to mend the fence and he didn’t know about the funeral. Yeah, that was a brilliant idea Jeff…come mend the fence with your brother who can’t talk after the stroke. Lauren, Michael, Katherine and Gloria thought this whole story about the unknown twin was weird to say the least. Gloria, being the street smart woman she thinks she is, said that she doesn’t trust Jeff and thinks that he is after her money. So we’ll see what intelligent master plan Gloria comes up with to figure out what Jeff is really up to. With Michael’s list of legal cases in the works, let’s just hope it is not another one of her goofy illegal plans that lands her in the pen and she follows with unfounded regret and inappropriate sobbing because no one understood why she did it.

Three’s a crowd: Jill, Katherine, and Gmen
As Jill and Gmen lay in bed after a romp in the hay, Gmen mentions that he and Jill should start a business together. Jill asks about financing and Gmen said that he gets calls daily about funds to finance a business. Jill asks why she didn’t know about the calls and Gmen said well you don’t speak Korean. Now what that statement had to do with anything….I don’t know. Does Jill need to be bilingual to keep up with and figure out Gmen’s secrets. Well, if so, she’d better get hooked on Korean phonics because this dude has something up his sleeve. Anyway, as Gmen looks lovingly into Jill’s eyes he says the name of the company is going to be “Forever”. Jill is in awe like a teenager in heat, gets dressed, and leaves.

Katherine (K) arrives at the hotel room and confronts Gmen about his intentions towards her daughter. After what appears to be a series of mock negotiations, K offers Gmen a check for 5 million dollars. Now 5 million is a nice raking for someone who is more than likely on the hussle. As with all quick riches there comes some strings…for Gmen, K had 3 leaves attached. He must leave Genoa City, leave Jabot, and leave Jill alone. Gmen tears up K’s check. However, the leaving Jabot still applied..check or no check. Well, jigalo oops Gmen can’t wait to tell Jill what her horrible mommy just did and what a grand gentleman he was and tore up the check. Jill is furious to hear what Katherine has done and she leaves to give her mom a piece of her mind. When Jill finds K at William’s service, she lets her have it. Jill reminds K that she has already cut her out of her will, she loves Gmen, they will be married, and basically she is not going to listen to her mommy. K assures Jill that she is just trying to protect her like any mother would do for her child when she sees that she is making a mistake that will cost her not only emotionally but financially in the end. Way to go Gmen – you’re sure helping to keep this mother-daughter relationship in tact since you say you love Jill sooo much ….keep pouring salt in the old mother daughter wound. Next, let me get this one straight…Jill and K used to hate each other. Now, since they are in mother daughter roles..K has become the great protector of a very grown up Jill?. I think K just needs to step off. She has done all she can advise Jill on her choice of man… For goodness sake, let the grown woman make the mistake…Goodness knows it won’t be her first time down bad choice lane..if K can recall Jill didn’t have any problems justifying why she slept with her man years ago.


Amber & Daniel (Move on with your life please):
Despite all of their recent ongoings, Amber and Daniel go to Indigo to have fun. While there, they see Lilly, Colleen and Cain at a table. When Colleen leaves, Lilly and Cain pretend to be into each other to show a watchful Amber & Daniel they are moving on with their lives. Eventually, Daniel goes over to the table and gives Lilly the keys to the apartment and tells her he won’t contest the divorce. He also tells her to call him if she needs anything (like he’ll be getting that call soon). Daniel leaves. Amber on the other hand does not know when to give up. Cain just screwed her over yesterday but yet she is back in his face again today with her forgive me speech. Cain tells her to stay away from him because she does not want him as an enemy. Okay, Amber..work with us here. The chances of Cain forgiving you and going back into a relationship with you are slim to none. So, girl take what dignity you have left and start over and please move on to another guy…you have said enough sorrys to this guy to resink the titanic..let it go and grow up.

On the DL (down low) …Over the past two days, aren’t the number of romps that have occurred during William’s funeral service odd or to say the least tacky. Paul and Maggie went to have a romp in the hay in the banquet room and we see Jill and Gmen rompin’ in the hay in a hotel room. Well, let’s look at it. How many times do you go to a funeral or a memorial service and get so hot for your mate that you can’t stand it and you have to creep out to quench your physical passion and return to the service like you’ve been there supporting the family the whole time. Well, the thought of William’s death must have been like a libido enhancer. Gloria should sell this and she would make millions!

Tomorrow’s grapevine: Will Lilly get hooked-up for a date– like she really needs one in her state of mind. Will Gloria’s snooping skills help her find out the truth about Jeff and the real reason he is in town? Will Nick get to spend some time alone with Sharon on a photo shoot out of town?
