The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

Summer was rude to Sharon. Too bad.

Summer is a bratty child but I don't have issues with her being short with Sharon. She is a teenager who has apparently been waiting YEARS (hee!) for this to happen. It was her parents' wedding. Sharon is her mother's biggest threat when it comes to her father. It is understandable.

I'm going to wait to see how she interacts with Sharon outside that setting. Sharon and Summer have never had issues. Summer liked Sharon. If she starts to becomes nasty to Sharon without reason -- then I will definitely question that.

I don't think highly of Sharon, Nick, or Phyllis BUT they have never let their feelings about each other affect their children. Sharon is kind to Summer. Phyllis is kind to Noah and Faith -- as they should be.

Faith was a huge writers mistake. She was the vendetta MAB had against Latham for killing off the Cassie character. The problem with that was that she over did it. It was HER vendetta that caused so many of us to puke at the name of Cassie mentioned. She had such a hard on for Latham that she drove this death into the ground, sorry for the pun, so much that now when they even mention the death of that kid, people just want to change the channel. Even the little makeshift memorials, or the fact that she writes Sharon always using the death of this kid for either her foreplay or to get sympathy when she wants to manipulate the Newman's to keepaying her bills and changing her diapers. Faith was a huge writers mistake and since Nick never married Sharon over this, while it all flopped in MAB's face, it should have. Nothing is ever accomplished with a vendetta and as a result, this show is slipping in the numbers everday it airs now.

Sharon has never raised Faith since she got her back. She has put everything imaginable before this child and the kid is now what? 3 years old? Her child hood was spoiled by Sharon because she never wants the kid unless she can have the man. Faith has been moved around from pillar to post and the only real stability she has ever had was with Nick.

Little Summer was a surprise and the real miracle, she was not ever a mistake. She is a most beloved child by her parents who want her. A mother who adores her and has never used her for foreplay in tawdry affairs nor has Summer ever been used to manipulate the Newman's for money or security. In fact, just the opposite. Her mother can take care of her by herself, if she has to and she doesn't need Nick or anyone else to do that for her. Summer is adorable and she is going to be a great addition to the show now that she is a teenager.

Summer put the family skank in her place and she had every right to. If my mother were marrying my father and my grandfather's whoreish tramp showed up looking like a billboard to embarass my mother, I would have gotten my brothers and hauled her sloppy butt out myself.
