Y&R Recaps Week of Oct. 23, 2006
Friday, October 27, 2006
Neil was anxious about the opening of his club, Indigo, but a kind note from Nikki and Victor helped calm him — somewhat. He couldn’t help thinking about Carmen since she was the one who gave him the idea to purchase the club. Everyone kept saying how thrilled they were that Aaron Neville (full name always stated, of course) would be performing. Neil hoped nothing would go wrong during the evening.
Speaking of Ms. Mesta — or not — Bardwell, Victoria and Jack all wondered why they couldn’t reach her and why she’d blown off appointments with them. Jack and Kim hoped she was on a plane to Hong Kong…. Victor, Nikki, Brad and Victoria were surprised that they all agreed they should buy Carmen out and get rid of her. “There was unanimity in this room. When’s the last time that ever happened?” marveled Vic. Jack suggested getting her a job out of the country.
Phyllis and Nick were excited to have tickets to see Aaron Neville. Phyll convinced Nick that they need to pack a pregnancy bag for her for her inevitable trip to the hospital. As he gave her a foot massage, Nikki called; Phyllis faked having pregnancy pains so Nikki would leave her alone. She was mildly upset when Nikki informed her that Jack’s been making deals for NVP without letting her or Phyllis know about it. “You shouldn’t be rubbing my feet while I’m talking to your mother on the phone,” Phyll scolded Nick once she’d hung up. Nick then commented on a certain item of her wardrobe as being “hot.” Phyllis didn’t agree with him on this one. The couple happily packed the rest of her bag with various books and CDs (including Aaron Neville’s). Is this supposed to be like the word of the day on PEE WEE’S PLAYHOUSE, where every time someone says, “Aaron Neville,” the audience screams? Later, Phyllis emerged in a sexy, red number, proudly showing off her belly. The duo made love and skipped the concert.
Jack and Sharon planned to see Aaron Neville, despite the fact that Nick and Phyllis were planning to attend the concert. Bardwell interrupted and asked if they’d heard from Carmen. Both hoped Mesta had decided to leave them alone…. Nikki complained to Victor how he’s letting Jack take advantage of him. Victor stated that he’s not as clueless as she seems to think he is and that he’s well aware that Jack is up to something…. Bardwell continued to call Carmen.
At Indigo, the bartender Vincent flirted with Lily — despite noticing her wedding band. Daniel quickly interrupted them. Vinnie then flirted with Drucilla and Neil called him a “pipsqueak.” Dru assured Neil that he has nothing to worry about…. Neil denied Will entrance to the concert…. Later, Aaron Neville himself arrived and everyone fawned over him. Everyone except a mopey Devon, that is, who tried to hide. Aaron performed “Stand By Me,” and there was a montage of Phyllis and Nick making love; Aaron performing; Dru and Neil enjoying the show; Victoria watching the show, her head on Brad’s shoulder; Sharon and Jack dancing and laughing; Daniel kissing Lily on the cheek; Jana enjoying the show, flanked by Billy and Kevin…. Devon stared sadly at a jukebox in Crimson Lights. Dru found him and urged him to see the show. Devon didn’t want to “see” the show, he wanted to hear it. Dru worked the guilt reminding him that Neil would be disappointed if Devon didn’t attend…. Our friend Vinnie greeted Sharon with this gem of a pick-up line: “Do you know what polar bears are good for? Breaking the ice.” Ouch…. Phyllis and Nick put on Aaron Neville’s album since they’d missed his concert…. Aaron Neville sang a second song, “Ain’t No Sunshine.” A woman signed along with him so Devon could appreciate the show. Neil was thrilled he’d “pulled it off.” Neil took a cell phone call from Nick and went outside to get better reception. There, Neil spied Carmen’s lifeless body in the alley. So much for Indigo’s great buzz….
