35feeling guilt?”
Obrecht: “I’m not used to this
sensation. I must do right by
Wiley.”
Brad one-upped the loopy
doctor by threatening to send
her daughter, Britt, to jail
(because aiding and abetting
Brad’s crime violates Britt’s
parole).
Obrecht: “Threatening your
best friend. What would Britta
say?”
Brad: “You have to look out for
your own first.”
Obrecht: “You have a deal.”
They shook hands, which
was observed by Carly, so add
her to the list of people who
can explode this secret.
GH has also layered in lines
like Michael telling Lucas,
“Genes do not matter,” which
will come in handy for the
eventual custody battle pit-
ting bio dad Michael and
his Quartermaine genes vs.
adopto dad Lucas and his
mobbed-up Jerome lineage.
Michael’s mom, Carly, vs.
Lucas’s mom, Bobbie? I’m
here for that mother/daughter
smackdown, too.
■ I’m still waiting for an
Adam smackdown on Y&R,
Kyle and Lola’s party.
Mariah:obstacles.”that designer purse.
■ DAYS’s Rex could not
overcome Sarah calling out
his brother’s name during sex
or later catching her in bed
with Eric.
Rex: “When you were pro-
nouncing us husband and
wife, that was a joke.”
Also a joke? Rex thinking
his marriage had value after
wedding in the hospital chapel
on a whim with only his aunt
as a witness. Eric and Sarah
have solid potential as long as
DAYS plays all the beats.
Translation: No more
quickie weddings!
And no more face-swap!
Kristen (in her Nicole mask
to a sleeping Brady): “If only
I could have shown you my
face. If only you could have
known it was me you were
making love to.”
He does now, thanks to his
dad — although I find it highly
implausible that a guy who
works out as much as Brady
didn’t recognize the smell of
latex while he was, er, kissing
it. It’s fitting that John pulled
Kristen’s mask off because
if you want to define payoff,
Susan’s teeth flying across the
room at “their” wedding years
ago was it.
■ Hey. It’s only my
opinion. but Phyllis did give it the old
college try by tricking him out
of Dark Horse. Her revenge
was muted, though, because
Adam screwed her over on
the hotel, which meant Phyllis
had to go person to person to
try and get funding. It was a no
from Devon and Nick, and a
“hard no” from Nikki. C’mon,
all you Adam haters: Group
revenge!
Weddings normally pro-
vide a reward, but Kyle and
Lola’s feels rushed because
their courtship had so many
fake obstacles: Lola’s broth-
ers, her virginity, her coma, her
job, her mother, his money, his
ex Summer, and now Theo,
Kyle’s sudden “friend” from
New York.
Theo: “I won’t let you forget
who you were.”
Kyle: “She was 17. She could
have died. You weren’t the one
who had to pay off her father!”
Oh, great — another
off-screen story to jazz up a
current plot we’re supposed
to care about. (Note: Strangers
don’t give couples rooting
value.)
I did enjoy playing the
traditional wedding beats ofFull Circle: It was
only fitting that
DAYS’s John (Drake
Hogestyn, l.) ripped
off the “Nicole” mask
as Brady (Eric Martsolf)
stood by in shock.
