Reflections by Jill - A Weekly Commentary for One Life to Live for August 1, 200

So, what’s you pleasure? Kelly and Kevin or Kelly and Hugh? Personally, I’m leaning towards Kelly and Hugh. I think at this point I’m over Kevin and Kelly. So much water has gone under the bridge and of course, if that baby turns out to be Kevin’s, it will open up a whole new set of emotions to deal with, but I like seeing Kelly with someone who just simply supports her and cares about her and can give her friendship with the real possibility of a nice, romantic relationship. Kelly has at least as much to deal with as Kevin does since the whole Duke fiasco happened and Kevin is too wrapped up in getting himself together to give her what she needs, at least for now. I didn’t mind it one bit when Kevin was annoying Kelly at the gym and she just wanted some peace and Hugh told Kevin to leave her alone. Hugh has come a long way in winning back my support because of the way he has treated Kelly.

And what about Hugh and Vincent Jones? Can you imagine those two guys being college roommates? No doubt Vincent is going to find a way to use Hugh in his dirty business. Vincent is obviously up to no good when it comes to Cristian. I was not surprised when he paid off that technician at the hospital who informed him that Cristian’s hand was a mess and that there was no way he should be fighting. That’s all Vincent needed to hear. Now he can set Cristian up in a fight that he thinks Cris can’t possibly win so that he can bet against him and win a ton of money. Gee Layla, that’s a really nice guy you’ve hooked yourself up with.

And Dorian is still up to her old tricks. She just had to foist herself upon Viki’s family when they were all in an uproar over Jessica and Brennan disappearing. Of course, Dorian just wanted to offer her help in their time of need. Oh yeah! I was glad that Viki didn’t mince words when she told her to just get out of her house. I had to laugh when Adriana called Dorian and told he she was really in love with Rex and Dorian didn’t explode in anger. I was thinking the same thing as Adriana, “Who are you and what have you done with my mother?” When she told Adriana she thinks she understands I was wondering if she really thinks she’s falling in love with Clint or if she is just having a ball annoying the heck out of Viki. I’ll put my money on the latter. Getting Clint into her bed is just a fringe benefit of sticking it to Viki and Clint knows it but he’s along for the ride anyway.

What was that ridiculous fight between Blair and Paige? The funniest part was Todd laughing about it in the background, although I’m sick and tired of him turning up everywhere to spy on Blair. It only shows how jealous he is and it disputes his claim that he couldn’t care less about her. It was pretty funny though, when Blair asked Todd what he was doing there and he said, “I just wanted to be where everybody knows my name.” Cheers, Todd!

And all I have to say is, how stupid was Paige to leave Bo’s cell phone on the bar and walk away from it? You just knew that Spencer was going to pick it up and it was a good think Paige had the brainstorm to take it away from him before he heard what John had to say to Bo. I wonder if Bo was thinking, “Why the heck did you leave my phone on the bar?”, when Paige told him that Spencer picked it up. It’s a good thing they don’t give out jail sentences for brainlessness because Paige would go away for a long time.

And on to Jessica and Nash. Boy, I switched back and forth in my feelings about Nash all week long. He was just a total contradiction in emotions. The kidnapping was absurd and he took us on a real roller coaster ride when he alternated between sweet and insane. He was nothing short of sweet and lovable the way he rocked the baby and talked to her on the balcony, telling her about the stars and about her mother. And he was totally insane when he lost control and at the top of his lungs entered into that screaming match with Jessica when he was trying to bring Tess out. I think the only person who really sees this situation clearly is Jessica. She knows that Nash desperately misses Tess and would really never hurt her or Brennan. She knows how much he loves Brennan and she also now realizes why Tess loved Nash so much.

Of course, being the sweet and kind person she is, Jessica couldn’t have Nash arrested because she knows how desperate he is and she can’t help but feel sorry that she can’t give him what he wants. Nash is in desperation mode. Antonio is beside himself because he was so worried about Jessica and can’t figure out why she won’t have him arrested. I think if Antonio really thought about the person he knows Jessica to be, he’d know why she couldn’t have Nash arrested.
