JANUARY 2007

January 1 to 5, 2007

Colleen told J.T. that she thought it would be best if she moved out because she was not ready for such a serious relationship. Meanwhile, Amber continued to make a play for Professor Korbel while Colleen became more and more jealous. Sheila/Phyllis vowed that if she ever became free, she would seek out revenge on those around her. Brad began to fear that someone was following him after he learned that Nicholas had told Phyllis everything about him. Brad later confessed to Victor that he had killed two men. Ashley decided to take matters into her own hands when she caught Jack telling Abby a lie. Katherine asked Amber to help her unravel her past and the possibility that she might have kidnapped Jill's son and switched him with another baby.

January 8 to 12, 2007

Jill was in complete disbelief over the news that Katherine told her about giving Jill's infant son away to another woman. Phyllis and Nick celebrated Cassie's birthday with Noah, while Jack and Sharon also celebrated the day in their own way. Phyllis and Michael did an intervention on Lauren, who was suffering panic attacks, with the help of her doctor. David Chow, the boyfriend of the late Carmen Mesta, showed up in town and blamed Dru for Carmen's death. Katherine and Jill hired J.T. to find out what he could about the baby of long ago. Ashley announced that she was taking Jack's offer and leaving town. Victor and Brad joined forces to locate the mysterious reliquary. Paul finally got himself a date with Detective Maggie Sullivan. David Chow became Dru's new neighbor.

January 15 to 19, 2007

Gloria learned from Will Bardwell that he was reopening the investigation on the Jabot product tampering case. Kevin discovered that three days were missing from the coffeehouse surveillance tapes, which might prove vital to the Carmen Mesta murder case. Victor, Brad, and Victoria had a meeting with a dealer about the Grugeon collection, but none of them knew that there was a bug in the Carlton living room at the time. When Sheila's refusal to eat did not work, she embarked on a much more dangerous plan, which ended up with her taking a shank and shoving it into her abdomen. Needing medical attention, Paul and Michael were drawn further into Sheila's game, as she had to rely on them to help her treat her wound. J.T. learned that Colleen had slept with Adrian and broke up with her. Katherine and Jill wanted Will Bardwell to exhume the body of Katherine's grandson, Phillip. Brad and Victor prepared to leave for their trip while trying to keep their loved ones at bay, so the loved ones couldn't ask a lot of questions.

January 22 to 26, 2007

Colleen moved back home with Victoria after breaking up with J.T., but she continued to see Adrian, even though she promised Victoria that she wouldn't. Dru believed that she was receiving crank calls from David Chow and then imagined that Carmen Mesta had appeared before her. Victor and Brad were held captive at gunpoint and then released after making an agreement with the owner of the Grugeon Reliquary. Maggie Sullivan and Paul made love. Michael told an unsuspecting Lauren that Sheila was alive but locked up. Lauren saw Sheila and vowed that Michael and Paul would never set her free. Jana called Gloria to let her know that Jill was at Indigo with Will, and soon after, Gloria arrived on the arm of Ji Min. Victoria counseled J.T., who was rapidly becoming a drunk, while Colleen went back for another go-around in bed with Adrian. After talking with Paul, Maggie Sullivan reluctantly had Paul's cell phone number tracked.

January 29 to February 2, 2007

Brad found out about the affair between Adrian and Colleen and confronted them. Adrian admitted it was wrong to become involved with his student and promised his relationship with Colleen was over. Later, an increasingly suspicious Brad hired J.T. to keep an eye on Colleen, believing she might be in danger. Sheila overtook Maggie, shooting her with her own gun and trapping her in the cage with Paul. She later showed up at the Newman tack house, where a bound and gagged Phyllis watched and listened in horror as she called Lauren and Fen over for a visit. Kevin confessed to Jana that he once tried to kill Colleen and promised her that he was a reformed person. Later, Adrian confronted Jana and berated her for digging into his past and the situation with the student who committed suicide. When Jana disappeared shortly afterward, Kevin worried that his confession might have scared her off for good. Jack convinced Victor to let him use some unsavory information about Senator Bodi in their bid to obtain zoning for the spa. Maggie's gunshot wound took a serious turn and Paul worried when she slipped into unconsciousness. When Michael tried to call Paul and did not get a response, he rushed to the warehouse, where he found the trapped pair and realized that Sheila was on the loose. Sheila, meanwhile, managed to convince Lauren to come over to the ranch and to bring baby Fen with her. While hanging up her coat, Lauren was shocked to find the real Phyllis bound and gagged in the closet. A gun-wielding Sheila then tied up Lauren before kidnapping Phyllis, running away with both babies in the process.

FEBRUARY 2007

February 5 to 9, 2007

Nick arrived at the tack house to find a bound Lauren, who told him that Sheila had taken off with Phyllis, Summer, and Fen. Meanwhile, Sheila, decked out in a wig and sunglasses, had checked herself, Phyllis, and the babies into a motel room. Kevin continued to search for a missing Jana, to no avail, and asked Will Bardwell to aid in his search, telling him that Jana's disappearance could be related to the Carmen Mesta murder. Bardwell refused to get involved. Colleen told Victoria and Brad she knew what the inscription on the reliquary meant. Brad wondered how Colleen could possibly have translated the phrase from Latin, a language she had never studied, and after some prodding, Colleen finally admitted it was Korbel who translated the phrase. Brad argued with Colleen about the danger she could be in, but she insisted she didn't give Adrian any information about the reliquary. Later, she ended up at Adrian's apartment, where the two made love once again. Brad argued with Victoria, who thought he was being too harsh on Colleen. During their argument, Victoria's notebook fell behind the accent table and, reaching down to retrieve it, Brad was shocked to find a listening bug planted on the piece of furniture. Paul, Michael, and Victor discovered where Sheila was holding Phyllis and the babies hostage, and Lauren, gun in hand, headed for the motel. After trying to determine which of the look-alikes was Phyllis, Lauren finally shot and killed Sheila. Drucilla noticed some of her belongings had been mysteriously moved around her apartment and thought Carmen was behind it. Amber considered marrying Cane so that he could stay in the country. Maggie's surgery was successful and, upon waking, she was questioned by investigators wanting more information on what transpired at the warehouse.

February 12 to 16, 2007

At Adrian's apartment, Colleen panicked when she found a lock of Jana's red hair extensions hidden alongside Carmen Mesta's driver's license. Running out of the apartment and down to the parking garage, she was knocked unconscious by an unseen figure, only to wake up in a locked storage room with the missing Jana. Jana convinced Colleen to tell her what she knew about the inscription on the reliquary and then used the information to convince the guard to set her free. After finding a hidden city name in the inscription, Victoria and Brad headed to Kutna Hora, a town in the Czech Republic. Katherine finally remembered that Violet's last name was Montgomery. Amber suggested to Cane that they marry so that he could stay in the country. After discussing politics with David Chow, Jack considered running for office. Dru awakened from a nightmare and insisted to Neil that she saw Carmen in the apartment.

February 19 to 23, 2007

Drucilla, believing she was being stalked by Carmen Mesta and David Chow, bought a security camera to prove her suspicions. Jill and Katherine discovered Cane might be Jill's son. Jill went to confront Cane, but changed her mind when she learned he and Amber had gotten married. Kevin and Colleen found out Jana was behind Carmen Mesta's murder and learned she was also working with her grandfather to uncover information about the reliquary. Trapped together in a room, they feared they would die together as Jana set fire to the building. J.T. and Adrian rescued Kevin and Colleen, who were unconscious, but J.T. was suspicious of Kevin's innocence. Nick angered Phyllis when he gave a gift to Sharon for what would have been their eleventh wedding anniversary, but he made it up to her by asking her to marry him-again!

February 26 to March 2, 2007

Phyllis realized Michael and Lauren knew Sheila was alive, and was furious with them for putting her family in danger. Jill told Cane she was his mother. Jack decided to run for office. Kevin was formally charged with the murder of Carmen Mesta. Michael asked J.T. to track down Jana. After watching a surveillance videotape from the coffeehouse, J.T. was convinced Kevin was responsible for Carmen's murder and, in a moment of rage, knocked Kevin unconscious. Colleen awakened and confirmed Kevin's innocence, explaining to the police how Jana tricked and used him. J.T. was later arrested for assaulting Kevin. Victoria grew increasingly concerned about Brad's relationship with Sharon. Neil saw a dead ringer for Carmen in his apartment building, but she ran off before he could stop her. Neil tried to check Dru out of the psychiatric ward and was told she couldn't leave. Later, Devon and Neil caught David Chow giving money to a woman who looked exactly like Carmen.

MARCH 2007

March 5 to 9, 2007

An unknown person reported Adrian and Colleen's relationship to the dean. Katherine told Cane she stole him from Jill as an infant. Phyllis and Nick sided together in favor of Jack's plans for NVP, while Brad and Victoria were against it. Cane and Jill anxiously awaited the results of the DNA test. Amber thanked Daniel for his help with Cane by sending him some nude photos of herself. After Ines Vargas, Carmen's cousin, showed up at the competency hearing, Dru was declared sane and released from the psychiatric ward. Phyllis overheard Brad and Sharon talking about the night they spent together in New York.

March 12 to 16, 2007

Phyllis used what she knew about Brad and Sharon to secure Brad's vote in favor of Jack's project. Sharon discussed her past with David Chow and wondered how it would affect Jack's campaign. Phyllis overheard Sharon telling David how Phyllis had stolen Nick from her. Victoria announced to Brad that she was pregnant. Jill and Cane received the results of the DNA test and discovered they were not mother and son. J.T. told Colleen he wanted to give their relationship another shot, but Colleen turned him down. Adrian and Colleen continued to see one another. Brad told Sharon that Phyllis knew what had happened between them in New York.

March 19 to 23, 2007

Neil won the seat on the board of directors after Victor and Brad voted in his favor. Nikki and Victoria fumed at their husbands' betrayal. Later, Brad found Victoria in J.T.'s arms. Amber admitted to Cane that she tricked him into marrying her. Jill and Katherine found proof Cane really was Jill's son. Colleen and Adrian continued to see each other secretly. The DA dropped the assault charges against J.T. Jack demanded Ji Min put a stop to Gloria's appearance on Extreme Catwalk. Later, Jack surprised Sharon by asking her to marry him.

March 26 to 30, 2007

Gloria was angry that she couldn't be a part of Extreme Catwalk because Ji Min pulled the plug by sending her off to Holland on a business trip, instigated by Jack. Nikki put her best foot forward and announced that she would run against Jack for the Senate seat vacated by Senator Bodi. A second DNA test proved that Cane was indeed Jill's son. Phyllis and Lauren were forced to be cordial towards each other, when Jack insisted that they work together on the Clear Springs project. Daniel became more obsessed with his "porn" sites and began to cover up his tracks to the sites he had visited, along with rearranging the furniture so that Lily would not accidentally discover him looking at them. Kevin was more than happy to help Colleen out, by asking her on a date in front of J.T., knowing that J.T. would become infuriated and wonder if perhaps Colleen and Adrian were really through. Will Bardwell told Katherine that because of the kidnapping of Cane as a baby, he would be forced to open a criminal investigation.

APRIL 2007

April 2 to 6, 2007

Nikki announced her candidacy for State Senate while Jack instructed his campaign manager to start digging up dirt on her. Suspicious about what Brad might be hiding, Victoria asked J.T. to investigate Brad's life. Brad discovered Colleen's relationship with Adrian and forbade her to see him. Victor agreed to be Jack's best man, and Brad tried to talk Sharon out of marrying Jack. At the photo shoot, Phyllis and Sharon argued, and Dru grabbed Phyllis' phone, causing them to lose their balance. Sharon and Dru fell off the cliff.

April 9 to 13, 2007

A cliffside vigil was held for Drucilla. Neil learned of Phyllis' blackmail. Phyllis confided in Michael about her feelings of guilt over Sharon and Dru's fall. Later, Phyllis promised Sharon she would not reveal what happened with her and Brad. Lily found porn on Daniel's phone and laptop. Neil turned to alcohol. Brad admitted to Sharon he loved her. Jack began to suspect there was something more than friendship between Sharon and Brad. Gloria and Kevin spied on Jack and Ji Min, with the hope of finding proof the two were working together.

April 16 to 20, 2007

Jill and Ji Min became amorous in the boardroom, thanks to Gloria and Kevin spiking their coffee with a sexual enhancement drug. William walked in on them, and Will broke up with Jill. Sharon and Neil reminisced about their feelings for Dru. After an injunction was issued against it, photos of Dru and Sharon's fall from the cliff were posted online. Rather than incriminating Phyllis, the photos made it look like Sharon had pulled Dru off with her. Lily discovered Daniel's porn addiction, but Amber talked Cane into covering for him. Jack discovered that Brad had bought property at Clear Springs, using insider information. Adrian received an offer for a job in France, and he and Colleen decided to leave together. Victoria was not surprised when J.T. told her the results of his investigation of Brad and Sharon's relationship.

April 23 to 27, 2007

Jack proposed to Sharon and she accepted. The two were married in Sharon's home with Noah present. Victoria proceeded to unload on Brad after she learned of his affair with Sharon in New York. Amber put into action plans that would make Cane think about moving on to higher ground and another place to live. Victor learned from Sharon that she and Jack had wed, and Jack told Nikki that he had married Sharon. After learning about Sharon and Brad's affair, Nicholas was shocked to learn that his wife was blackmailing Brad, making their own wedding plans doubtful. While her brother, Nicholas, came down on Brad for what he had done to Nick's sister, Victoria took comfort in J.T.'s arms. Sharon told Jack about her affair with Brad, which could have led to the shortest marriage in Genoa City. Adrian and Colleen prepared for their new life in France until secretly Brad made a phone call, which rescinded Adrian's new job offer. Gloria used her special "medicine" to make William more amenable to her advances. Michael and Lauren once again became Nicholas and Phyllis' attendants for their wedding when, after learning of Phyllis' blackmail, Victoria and Nikki announced that they wanted no part of it. Neil shared with Devon, Daniel, Lily, and Sharon some of Dru's special belongings. David Chow learned of Jack and Sharon's marriage and was not too happy with what the publicity could do to Jack's campaign. Nikki told Victor about their son-in-law's affair with their ex-daughter-in-law, which led Victor to knock Brad's lights out!

April 30 to May 4, 2007

Nikki's campaign received a blow when David Chow exposed a copy of her porn flick Hot Hips on an Internet site to deflect news of Jack's marriage to Sharon. When Jack found out, he fired David. Nikki retaliated by hiring David to run her own campaign. Nick and Phyllis were married, but the police showed up at the end of the wedding and arrested Phyllis for extortion. After Brad tipped Sharon that Phyllis had been arrested and their secret would be going public, Sharon told Jack of her and Brad's affair, and Jack was livid. On a muffin run, Gloria managed to steal the Jabot case file from William. She got Michael to look at it, and he told her that she would be first on the list for a DNA test. Victoria discovered that Nikki and David had bribed Brad to turn Phyllis in so they could use the bribery scandal to hurt Jack's campaign. Katherine convinced Cane to accept the job as Clear Springs construction manager for Chancellor. Lauren and Michael, having bugged the Jabot conference room, reported to Victor how they had caught Jack and Ji Min in a conversation that proved that Jack was the true owner of Jabot. Victor approached Ji Min, told him what he knew, and said that Ji Min was going to help him take Jack down. Lauren, using the boardroom bug, caught Gloria admitting that she had been the one who had tainted the face cream.

MAY 2007

May 7 to 11, 2007

Kevin and Michael did their best to keep Gloria from pursuing Will, as he was trying to solve the Jabot Cosmetics scandal-which she actually had caused, but no one knew yet. As Daniel's video habits became more and more frequent, taking over more and more of his life at home and at work, Lily put into effect a plan of her own to find out just how much she could believe what her husband was telling her. After making a deal with Ji Min about the true ownership of Jabot, Victor confronted Jack and told him that he was bringing him down. When David Chow was fired as Jack's campaign manager, Nikki hired him immediately, while Jack brought Jeff Hollister on board as his new manager. Victoria lost her baby and sought comfort not with Brad, but with J.T. Gloria proposed marriage to Will Bardwell. When Lily exposed Daniel with his "email girlfriend," who was really Lily herself, Daniel walked out and stayed at Kevin's. As Sharon and Nicholas were aboard the Newman jet on the way to a photo shoot at Clear Springs, each talked about the mistakes they had made in the past; they forgave each other. Amber, Colleen, and Cane decided to run some interference for the arguing Lily and Daniel. Victor told Nikki that he had regained control of Jabot and, while she was thrilled that he had finally been able to do so, she did not want to know how it all came about. Victor received some shocking news that the Newman jet had gone down.

May 14 to 18, 2007

Nick and Sharon were reported to be on the Newman jet when it crashed, and authorities found no survivors. Brad joined Victoria at the Newmans', where they awaited further word. All were shocked when Sharon walked in, with Victoria noticing that Brad looked a little too relieved. Sharon, who luckily had taken a commercial fight, then went home and shocked her husband, Jack, by revealing that she was alive and well. Phyllis was distraught when Michael told her the news of Nick's assumed death. Sharon and Jack broke the news to Noah. Victoria chose to spend the night allowing J.T. to comfort her rather than Brad. The Newmans made all the decisions for Nick's memorial service, cutting Phyllis out. Katherine told Michael that she had purchased Jabot from Jack. A beautiful memorial service was held for Nick.

May 21 to 25, 2007

The Newman family prepared themselves for the loss of Nicholas, as each remembered their own experiences with him. Victoria continued to have difficulties with her husband when it came to his feelings about Sharon. Jack promised to be a better husband to Sharon after learning that she was not aboard the Newman jet when it went down. Michael and Lauren agreed to be Summer's legal guardians, should Phyllis be sent to jail. Gloria used her friendship with Evan to make William Bardwell even more jealous. Kevin learned that Paul and Maggie were working together to find information on Jana's whereabouts. William informed Michael that his department was going ahead with plans to reconvene the grand jury in Phyllis' case. Katherine told Michael that she made an offer to Jack to buy back Jabot for a song, after learning that Jack was the real owner of Jabot. Lauren and Michael conversed over the paperwork he promised to draw up for Katherine, but was caught in his own web of deceit about what to do if Victor was told, maybe destroying Victor's plans to bring Jack down and violating attorney/client privileges with Katherine. Phyllis found herself on the outside of the "loop" as Victoria and Nikki planned Nicholas' memorial. Victor informed Brad that he would be answering to Victoria and Neil, who would be running Newman Enterprises. Phyllis found herself alone with Summer after the memorial, telling her daughter that Nicholas would always be there with them.

May 28 to June 1, 2007

Jill made her decision, and Ji Min became the new CEO of Jabot. Kevin helped his mother to fake a DNA test so that Will would not discover that she was the one who had tampered with the Jabot Cosmetics line, letting Gloria and Will's wedding go off without a hitch. After receiving help from her old friend, Evan, Gloria learned that he expected to be paid handsomely for his efforts in helping her get William to marry her. Extreme Catwalk was the hit of the day as Jill and Gloria put on a show and Amber showed off her new design before all hell broke loose when videos aired showing Amber in a catfight with Lily over Amber exposing her breasts to Daniel. Amber was forced to give up her winning title from Extreme Catwalk in order for the network to pull its scathing video about Amber and Lily fighting. Lily ousted Daniel from their apartment while Daniel headed out to stay at Kevin's place. Sharon and Jack did some fancy talking to get Noah to agree to move into the Abbott mansion. Phyllis began to have nightmares of Nicholas returning to her and blaming her for his death, as a way to pay for what she had done to cause Dru's demise. Lily celebrated her birthday without Daniel, while Neil, Devon, Colleen, and Adrian did their best to make it a happy day for her.

JUNE 2007

June 4 to 8, 2007

Phyllis made herself a guest at Sharon and Jack's home, having faked a fall that commanded her to rest where she was. Victoria told J.T. and her mother that she was divorcing Brad, much to their approval. Amber had a visit from someone from her past and Daniel couldn't make any headway with Lily as she continued to confront him about his "porn addiction," and told him that he needed to see a therapist. Victoria learned that she was pregnant but kept it a secret from everyone until J.T. found a bottle of prenatal vitamins in her purse. The political battle between Jack and Nikki started to turn ugly as each fought to lead the other in the polls. Jack broke the news to Sharon and Phyllis that the Newman jet had been found. Gloria finally vacated her room at Michael and Lauren's and moved in with William. Brad sold his real estate properties to Jack and then Brad agreed to testify against Phyllis. Will, with the DNA sample results, made Gloria face the truth-that she was the one responsible for the Jabot cosmetics tampering. Gloria told Will that it was an accident and explained why she did it, but Will completely agonized over the situation and told her he understood, but still had to turn her in. With that being said, he suddenly collapsed, whereupon Gloria panicked. Michael arrived shortly thereafter to announce that Will had suffered a stroke.

June 11 to 15, 2007

Kevin sought out revenge after getting a message from Jana. Amber was blackmailed with dangerous results. William attempted to find a way to communicate. Sharon tried to catch Phyllis in a lie. Nick was revealed to be alive.

June 18 to 22, 2007

Brad and Victoria continued to squabble over their divorce. Amber, Kevin, and Daniel buried a body, hid the loot that they found, and pretended to go on with life, as crazy as it was. Gloria found out that William's assets were not as she had envisioned them to be, due to a mountain of debt left to him. Kevin was more determined than ever to locate Jana, especially after she had continued to send him instant messages on his computer. Sharon and Phyllis managed to get incriminating evidence on Nikki, as they had taped her kissing David Chow, and they then exploited Nikki by putting the footage all over the Internet. Jack was against using the tactic originally, but he gave in when he discovered that he had suddenly gone ahead in the polls. Daniel and Lily started to grow close again, and Victoria kept company with J.T. as she continued to have morning sickness. Victor viewed the video of his wife and David kissing.

June 25 to 29, 2007

Will Bardwell and Gloria became Michael and Lauren's guests as Will began his rehabilitation. Paul and Maggie worked with Kevin to try to locate Jana. Nicholas and Logan were rescued and Nicholas was transferred to the hospital in Genoa City. Colleen offered to help Kevin, but Adrian was adamant about her not doing so. Jack won the election and David decided to remain in town to see what developed between him and Nikki. Victor returned home. Nicholas could only remember being married to Sharon and not Phyllis. Noah was thrilled to have his dad back, but Nicholas had to be told about Summer and the fact that Cassie had passed away. Brad found out that Victoria was pregnant and he was determined to know who fathered the child. Phyllis lamented to Jack that she felt like she was losing Nicholas for a second time. Sharon told Nicholas that she lived with Cassie's memory every day and that the sadness never disappeared.

JULY 2007

July 2 to 6, 2007

Kevin spent all of his time figuring out a way to bring Jana back home to Genoa City, so that he could get his revenge. It was discovered that the Newman plane that had crashed while carrying Nicholas was the subject of sabotage, and the possible intended victims were Nikki, Sharon, and Jack. Phyllis tried to jog Nicholas' memory about how they fell in love, married, and even shared a child together. Daniel continued to lie to his wife about his addiction and the trouble that he was in, while his therapist suggested that he come clean and admit all to her. Cane took a chance and was discovering his wife Amber's past. Jana continued to keep in touch with Kevin while sending him over the edge in his quest to find her. Will was able to scribble words, but when he wrote "murderer" and Maggie Sullivan and Gloria saw it, the room suddenly became quiet. After leaving the hospital to spend time recuperating at the ranch house that he and Sharon once shared, Nicholas learned that Phyllis faced a court date and Sharon had a "relationship" with Brad. Michael became livid when discovering that Kevin asked their mother to bring his gun to him at the hospital, and then frightened when Kevin left the hospital on his own after having communicated with Jana.

July 9 to 13, 2007

Gloria became more and more concerned as William gained back his powers of communication, wondering how long it would be before her secret was finally revealed. Victor hired Nikki's campaign manager, Karen. Cane became more suspicious and began to do some background checking on Amber. Lily told Devon that Daniel was coming back to live with them. Noah ran away and wound up living with Phyllis, while Katherine became angry at the thought of Jill and Ji Min possibly tying the knot. Kevin finally met up with Jana, handcuffed her, and pulled out a gun. He later gave up the gun without incident and Colleen took him to the hospital, where Jana was later admitted after having suffered a seizure in the police squad car. Paul was reunited with his "stepdaughter." Cane gave Amber a copy of their forged marriage certificate. Michael informed Phyllis that her trial was going to resume since a new Assistant DA had taken over William's cases.

July 16 to 20, 2007

Amber was informed that someone was looking for "Plum." Brad was less than happy about Colleen's involvement with Kevin and Adrian feared for her safety because Jana was involved. Daniel sought help from his therapist about his problem with pornography, while Devon, Neil, and Lily were discovering what he had been doing. While Nicholas tried to arrange something to get closer to Sharon, Neil reminded him that he already had a wife and should concentrate on his marriage. Nikki talked Victor into selling her NVP shares, but found out that he only did so to bring down Jack. Will Bardwell died, and Gloria learned that she had been left $50 million dollars. Maggie told Paul that Heather should be told that she was his daughter. Katherine bought Nikki's stock in Jabot, which enabled Nikki to be the sole owner of NVP. After Victor learned that Ji Min (Jack) also had sold his stock to Katherine, he berated his wife for not telling him, and realizing that the only reason he sold NVP to her was to get revenge against Jack. She left Victor. Later, Nikki hired David to help her with her company while Victor demanded that she fire David. Kevin learned that Jana could be found unfit to stand trial, if she really had a brain tumor. Victor vowed to bring down Nikki and NVP, and to send her away with nothing.

July 23 to 27, 2007

Kevin struggled with doing what he could to have Jana put away for whatever reason it took. Meanwhile, Jana continued to blame her actions on a potentially fatal brain tumor. Cane learned the complete truth about his wife, Amber. Daniel told Lily everything, but Devon was the victim of a house break-in, possibly because of Daniel's involvement with Kevin, Amber, and Carson. Cane agreed to help Kevin and Daniel look for Amber after receiving a note that she had been kidnapped. Jill accepted Ji Min's marriage proposal. Nikki and Victor separated once again. Sharon flirted with Nick while Phyllis told Jack that Nicholas wanted Sharon back. Brad and Logan shared an intimate time while caught in the elevator at Newman Enterprise when it stalled. Victoria and Brad signed their divorce papers and were legally free of each other. Michael insisted that Nicholas be at Phyllis' trial in order to give her support. Phyllis told Nicholas to stay away from the trial because she knew that he didn't remember ever having loved her.

July 30 to August 3, 2007

A new man turned up in town claiming to be a Treasury Department representative, but Kevin didn't believe his story, although it later was verified. Lily told her father about Daniel's involvement with Amber and all the money. Colleen returned home to make up with Adrian while Lily wanted things to be as they once were. Michael picked up new clients as Daniel, Kevin, and Amber were headed for more trouble. Even though Phyllis learned of her son's problems, the judge ordered that the trial go forward. A ransom note was left at the coffeehouse that Kevin discovered, and it was related to Amber's kidnapping and the deliverance of money to a designated spot. Victor told Nikki that through an investigation of David Chow, he learned that the man had been married numerous times before, all to wealthy women. David barged into Victor's office, telling him that someone had tried to run him off the road, and accused Victor of trying to kill him.

AUGUST 2007

August 6 to 10, 2007

Daniel finally admitted to Michael that he was an addict. Neil was forced to fire Daniel when he learned that the young man was responsible for a security breach caused by his Internet porn use. Kevin visited Jana in her hospital room to learn that her surgery was no longer an option, because she had become stabilized. Amber tried to make up to Cane, but in an about-face, he ended up giving her the cold facts after a session of love-making, when he announced that he hoped that she understood what it was like to be betrayed by someone you loved, and sent her packing. Karen and Neil found some common ground on which to build a possible relationship. At William's memorial, Gloria passed out as she looked up and saw the spitting image of her dead husband. It seems that William had a twin by the name of Jeff, whom Gloria was sure had arrived in town to do her out of "her" newly inherited money.

August 13 to 17, 2007

Devon did his best to talk Lily into not getting involved in a rebound relationship. While Nick and Sharon were waiting to be rescued from a bank vault, Sharon filled Nick in on Cassie's death and how their marriage had begun to crumble. Nicholas told Sharon that he loved her and always would. Kevin did not accept any of the offers that he received for the coffeehouse; he then blackmailed his mother into loaning him the money for Jana's surgery, threatening to tell the police that she was responsible for the Jabot cosmetics tampering case. After hours of wondering whether or not Phyllis would turn up in court, she walked in to hear the verdict reached by the jury. Cane got Amber to sign an affidavit admitting that they were never legally married; therefore she was entitled to none of his family's assets. After deciding to keep the sex of the baby unknown to the two of them, Brad discovered that the baby would be a boy and announced it to Victoria. The jury found Phyllis guilty, but the judge let her stay out of jail until her sentencing. Jana asked Kevin to be her power of attorney and Michael drew up the paperwork, but he was not happy that Kevin was standing by Jana.

August 20 to 24, 2007

Adrian returned to town with news for Colleen that he had lost the job in Paris because of her father. Jana informed Adrian that Brad had an assumed identity. Phyllis' bail was revoked when evidence indicated that she had attempted to skip town. While Jack tried to be the perfect husband to Sharon, thoughts of Nicholas came pouring back to Sharon, reminding her that she was once in love with him. Kevin remained at Jana's side as she headed to surgery. Katherine was doing her best to keep Jill and Ji Min from getting together by putting doubts about him in Jill's mind. After talking with her son, Jill put an end to her relationship with Ji Min. Fearing the worst, Phyllis turned over full custody of Summer to Nicholas and told him to divorce her. While Nikki, Neil, Victoria, and Brad cast a shadow on her, Phyllis scored some points by apologizing to all those she had hurt. Noah surprised everyone by being a witness for Phyllis and telling everyone what a wonderful stepmother she was to him. The judge then retired to his chambers to mull sentencing.

August 27 to 31, 2007

Jana made it through her surgery. Phyllis received a six-year sentence. Summer began to have symptoms of being ill. Ji Min decided to go public with the news of who really owned Jabot, making a lot of people nervous. Katherine tried to get tell Jill to talk Ji Min out of making the announcement by offering to put Jill back in her will. Amber got wind of the fact that Ji Min could have seen where the missing money was buried. Phyllis locked herself in the bathroom so that she would not have to leave Summer. Ji Min decided to back off on his public announcement after Jill asked him not to do it.

SEPTEMBER 2007

September 3 to 7, 2007

Phyllis was arrested at the hospital when two police officers arrived, handcuffed her, and escorted her off to jail. Jill discovered Amber standing over the lifeless body of Ji Min Kim. The people of Genoa City found it odd that Ji Min was found dead right before giving his tell-all news conference. At the hospital, Summer was diagnosed with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), but Lauren was happy to learn that Fen was okay. A guard permitted Phyllis to make a phone call to the hospital to check on Summer, but wasn't able to learn anything. Later, she tried to sneak another phone call, but she was caught by the warden. Maggie reported to Jill that Ji Min's windpipe had been crushed, proving that his death was not an accident. Kevin and Jana received good news about the results of Jana's surgery. Colleen told both Jana and Kevin about the death of Ji Min.

September 10 to 14, 2007

Nicholas was banished from the jail for pretending to be Phyllis' co-counsel. After Ji Min's death, residents of Genoa City hustled about trying to find ways to hold onto the Clear Springs project. Jill vowed to release the yet-to-be-found tape that proved Jack was the owner of Jabot Cosmetics. With the truth out about who owned Jabot, Sharon became disenchanted with her husband for keeping the truth from her. Daniel and Lily signed their final divorce papers. Cane hired J.T. to investigate who had been stealing copper from the Clear Springs site. Amber found the missing money and came up with a plan to keep it all for herself. Nikki used the key card to David's room and the two ended up making love for the first time. After setting the fire alarms off, Amber saved Jill from the steam room when the door was stuck. David and Nikki raced downstairs just as Victor, Nicholas, and Victoria were walking by-and they soon realized the real reason she couldn't make those important meetings.

September 17 to 21, 2007

Jill told an unbelieving Cane that Amber was the one who had saved her life after Jill had been trapped in the steam room at the club. Paul reminded J.T. that even though things were going well with Victoria, J.T. should consider the future, knowing that Victoria was accustomed to the finer things in life and having ample money, while J.T. was just an average man with an average paycheck. Jana refused to talk with Kevin about a future of any kind. Daniel and Amber caught their exes in a more than friendly kiss at the divorce party. Karen and Neil got closer, as did Devon and his date, Roxanne. The missing money was found in Ji Min's room, letting a thankful Daniel, Kevin, and Amber off the hook. Phyllis received visits from Daniel, Jack, and Victor, and Nick was allowed to see her, too. Gloria gave the tape of Jack's wrongdoing to Victor to do with as he pleased. Jack decided to confess about Jabot after talking with Sharon and Phyllis, who both agreed that the public would forgive him. Brad told Sharon that she didn't belong with Nick or Jack; she belonged with him because they shared a true love. Brad later apologized to Victor, Sharon, and Colleen, claiming to be a new man on the first night of Yom Kippur.

September 24 to 28, 2007

Jack's secret was exposed when footage was aired revealing that he was the true owner of Jabot Cosmetics. Jana was transferred to the state prison where she became Phyllis' cellmate. Jeffrey Bardwell arrived back in town with a parcel containing mementos of William's life, including a "curious" container of what appeared to be some sort of cream, which immediately piqued Gloria's curiosity. Jack learned of the kiss Sharon and Nicholas shared. Maggie informed Jill that Ji Min's death might not have been an accident. Jack confronted Sharon that she had lied to him while pushing him to tell the truth about his ownership of Jabot.

OCTOBER 2007

October 1 to 5, 2007

Sharon had to face the music with Jack, while Nicholas had to tell Phyllis about their kiss, leaving both Phyllis and Jack feeling betrayed. Jack ordered Nicholas not to come to his house again, while Phyllis put Sharon in her place at the prison. Colleen invited her father to have a homemade dinner with her and Adrian. Cane and Lily were obviously attracted to each other, but their age difference kept getting in the way of their becoming closer. Brad and Abby told Victoria about Ashley's engagement to Ridge Forrester, but Brad and Victoria decided not to tell Abby about the baby that Victoria was carrying until the child was born and the identity of the father was found out. Victor took great pride in "putting the knife a little further" into Jack as more and more was revealed about Jack's ownership of Jabot and his new career as a public official. Brad put another of his little touches into fueling the fire to keep Jack and Sharon fighting to keep their marriage together by calling a newspaper and informing someone that the senator's wife was being wooed by another man. Kevin refused to help his mother in her plot to regain the cream that Jeffrey Bardwell had in his possession. Victor began to have his property drilled near the Clear Springs project, putting Nikki 's company at risk. Victor and Nikki agreed to divorce. J.T. planned a very special evening for Victoria, which ended with a proposal of marriage.

October 8 to 12, 2007

Paul and Maggie continued to discuss the possible suspects in the Ji Min murder. Victoria told her parents and Nicholas about her engagement to J.T. Victor and Nikki told close friends and family that they were divorcing. The story of Nicholas and Sharon's kiss in the bank vault leaked out to bring up more problems for Jack and Phyllis. Phyllis' appeal was shot down. J.T. and Victoria saw David have a conversation with someone at the Clear Springs construction site that J.T. found questionable. Lily and Devon behaved badly in front of Karen and got a good reprimand from Neil, who put them out of a place to live, if they did not change their ways. Adrian accepted another teaching post at Genoa City University. Heather discovered some unsettling news while visiting with Adrian and Colleen at their apartment. Kevin told Jana that he was going on the Internet to explain her case to the public. Gloria wondered what it was that Jeffrey was really interested in from her. Michael had Nikki, Victor, Jack, and Nicholas all working together to get Phyllis out of jail and into a work release program that would allow for her to work on the Clear Springs project.

October 15 to 19, 2007

Phyllis decided to try to get into the work release program. Jack's week got worse as he became the top suspect on Maggie Sullivan's list of who could possibly have killed Ji Min. John paid a "ghostly" visit to his son complimenting him on his choice of a wife. While John told his son that he was also on Jack's side, he said it wouldn't be a bad idea if Jack could come up with Ji Min's actual killer. Michael warned Gloria that Jeffrey just might want all her money, and to see that she be put behind bars. Cane received word from J.T. that someone up in Clear Springs was selling substandard materials to the foreman. Nicholas decided to go back to work, leaving everyone wondering what would happen to Neil. J.T. found out some information about the foreman but didn't have enough proof yet to accuse anyone of wrongdoing at Clear Springs. Phyllis was told that she had been okayed to be a part of the work release program and couldn't wait to work with Nicholas again. Victor made a decision about who would run Newman Enterprises and made Neil, Nicholas, and Victoria a triumvirate, meaning that all three would be in charge of different parts of the company. Nikki told her friend, Katherine, that she and Victor were getting a divorce. With everyone showing up at Clear Springs for different reasons, each became a part of a construction problem when the parking garage started to collapse.

October 22 to 26, 2007

The Clear Springs Casino and the parking garage were reduced to a pile of rubble when the substandard building material used in the project gave way. Trapped inside the garage were many residents of Genoa City, all trying to escape anything more falling on them, while outside their families waited for news about their loved ones. Phyllis panicked at the thought of losing Nicholas and then was concerned for Noah and Jack, who were also trapped in the debris. The first to come out of the opening in the garage were Sharon and Nicholas, while Jack remained trapped after helping Sharon and Nicholas get out. The next to be found inside were Noah, Paul, Maggie, and Lauren. Noah suffered broken ribs and a ruptured spleen, which had to be removed after they were rescued. Amber was trapped in her car, but she managed to break a window and crawl out. She found Katherine and stayed with her as they both suffered from lack of oxygen. Cane and J.T. made it out safely, bringing help back for Katherine and Amber. Kevin set up a website to keep everyone informed about the people who were found and rescued. Victoria, who was one of the last people to be found, was with Adrian as they waited for the rescue team to come and find them. When leaving the parking garage, rubble fell on Victoria, knocking her out and putting her into a coma. A doctor assured the Newmans that the baby was okay, but Victoria's condition was much more dire. Brad suffered from eye abrasions due to the explosion, but told everyone that he was all right. Victor went inside and rescued Jack Abbott from the debris.

October 29 to November 2, 2007

Everyone kept watch over Victoria as she lay comatose in the hospital. Noah was recuperating slowly from his cracked ribs and surgery to remove his spleen. Phyllis was released from jail so that she could take part in the work release program. Cane and Katherine were both feeling guilty over what happened at Clear Springs. Jack was listed as a prime suspect in the murder of Ji Min Kim. Cane and Heather bonded further as their childhood memories seemed to coincide. Jeffrey invited Gloria out to dinner and Kevin tagged along, hoping that he could keep his mother from saying anything that she shouldn't. Paul debated as to whether or not he should tell Heather that he was her father. Lauren was still having panic attacks, reliving her ordeal at Clear Springs. While Jeffrey wooed Gloria and she batted her eyes at him, Kevin was afraid that his mother was becoming enamored with the man. As Jeffrey said goodnight, Kevin found relief in knowing that his mother was entirely aware of what Jeffrey was trying to do and that she was no fool.

NOVEMBER 2007

November 5 to 9, 2007

Several high-profile Genoa City residents were cleared of responsibility in the Clear Springs accident. The drilling ordered by Victor Newman was revealed to be the cause of the explosion, but it was ruled an accident. Jack took a sample of Zapato's hair to Maggie so that it could be tested since some was found in Ji Min's room, but Maggie couldn't accept it as evidence because the sample was not obtained by the authorities. Karen and Neil made love. Lily became disenchanted and then perked up again when she realized that Cane had called her after dropping off his date, Heather, at home. Lauren suffered another panic attack in the presence of Michael, Paul, and Maggie. Heather overheard Michael, Lauren, and Paul talking about Sheila Carter and the fact that Paul, if given a second chance, would make sure that she had never escaped. Everyone else waited at the hospital, hoping for better news about Victoria and the baby. While in prison, Jana found out about John Abbott's close friend and relayed the news to Kevin and Gloria, hoping they would be able to find out why John left Gloria out of his will. Paul told Heather that he was her father.

November 12 to 16, 2007

Brad was furious when he was not informed about Victoria's condition. The Newmans learned that Victoria's baby was not capable of living outside the womb. Lauren tried to convince Heather to forgive Paul. Neil invited Karen to Thanksgiving dinner. Nick saw Nikki and David in an embrace. A judge confiscated Daniel's cell phone. Jeff tested the Jabot cream.

November 19 to 23, 2007

Emotions began to flare as Victoria's blood pressure continued to go up. Friends stood by while the family was in turmoil when it was evident that neither Victor nor Nikki could agree on the best solution for helping Victoria. After a meeting of the minds was finally reached, Karen attended the Thanksgiving dinner at Neil's house along with Cane, Jack, and Sharon. Phyllis learned that she won her appeal and would be free to return home immediately. Instead of the usual "I spent the whole day in the kitchen making Thanksgiving dinner," Lauren opted for a take-out Thanksgiving meal from Gina's, which was fine with Michael. Kevin announced that he wouldn't be able to make the dinner, due to a previous appointment, which would include proposing marriage to Jana. Amber and Daniel spent Thanksgiving Day with each other, knowing that the "friendship" that the two of them shared was very dear to each of them.

November 26 to 30, 2007

Jack was called before the Senate Ethics Committee after Gloria launched an email campaign using various made-up aliases to send in complaints. Jack and Ben plotted to throw suspicion for Ji Min's death onto Victor to divert attention from Jack. With Victoria still in a coma, her family became divided as they took sides about whether to deliver her baby early to save her, or to allow the baby to develop to save him. They ended up in court, but before the judge made his decision, Victoria's condition took a turn for the worse, and everyone agreed to allow the C-section. Surgical complications put Victoria in critical condition. Jill came up with an idea for a contest to choose the Fresh Face of Jabot, and she and Cane encouraged Lily to enter. After being turned away, Amber decided to enter in disguise.

DECEMBER 2007

December 3 to 7, 2007

Jana told Michael and Lauren that planned to propose to Jana. Jack Abbott was called before the ethics committee to explain his questionable acquisition of Jabot. Gloria received a "letter from John" stating that she was the love of his life and was entitled to half of what he owned upon his death. Victoria was brought home to recover and recuperate in her own familiar surroundings. Gloria was permitted to speak again before the committee, this time reading the precious letter that she had in her hands from John, proving that Jack had also "done her wrong." Jack, once again having a final say about Gloria's letter, called it a fake and vowed to get to the bottom of why it suddenly appeared. Gloria's face turned ashen as she wondered just how much Jeffrey knew about her little secret.

December 10 to 14, 2007

Sharon ended up at Victor's place after becoming disillusioned with her husband, and Victor suggested that she spend time at the ranch. Victor told Neil that he needed to call in Nikki's loan. John paid Jack a visit to talk to him about Sharon. Jeffrey put the whammy on Gloria when he announced to her that he knew the truth about the Jabot tampering, then promised to keep her secret if she married him. Jack resigned his Senate seat but vowed to get Sharon back. A DNA test was done to determine the father of Victoria's baby. Brad, having been slighted by Victor, vowed to do everything he could to keep Victor away from the baby if he was found to be the father. Sharon gave Nikki permission to stay at her home instead of living under Victor's roof. Victor and Nikki shared a civil moment as they talked about Christmas plans, but that came to an abrupt end when Victor caught her and David kissing. Heather and Daniel had another "run-in" when Daniel ran into her car. Lily and Cane almost shared a kiss.

December 17 to 21, 2007

Sharon and Jack's relationship worsened as Sharon announced that she and Noah would move out of the Abbott mansion and into the ranch house. Sharon turned to Brad for comfort as Jack turned to Phyllis for help with his failing marriage. Meanwhile, Phyllis was busy helping Jana as well, and convinced Michael to represent Jana in her murder trial. Gloria also sought out Michael's legal counsel as she decided to sue Jack for the Abbott mansion. As Gloria plotted her revenge on Jack, she got Kevin to help her ward off Jeff by stalling their marriage. Meanwhile, the Newman family was also consumed with drama. Victor finally told Nikki that he was calling in her loan. Nikki retaliated by suing Victor for causing the explosion in Clear Springs. Nikki's side strengthened as Katherine and Jack joined her lawsuit. Victor was dealt another blow when Maggie divulged that she found Ji Min's blood in Victor's gym bag. Victor vowed to take on anyone that opposed him. Still, good news was shared as the paternity results returned. J.T. was the baby's father! J.T. named his son Reed, in honor of Nikki's maiden name. Brad was heartbroken, so J.T., despite Victor's wishes, told Brad that he could visit Reed whenever he wanted. Paul had his own dealings with fatherhood when he asked Heather to join him for Christmas and she accepted. Neil, with the blessing of Devon and Lily, invited Karen to Christmas. Lily continued to pursue Cane, but was disappointed when he rejected her because of their age difference. Amber admitted to Katherine that she still loved Cane, so Katherine kindly urged her to move on. Amber then partook in retail therapy, which prompted Daniel to become suspicious over Amber's sudden excess of cash.

December 24 to 28, 2007

Not even the holidays or Reed's improving condition could end the feuding between Victor and Nikki. Victor learned of the lawsuit Nikki filed against him and decided to file a countersuit in addition to hiring J.T. to investigate David. Victor then turned to Michael for legal help with the Ji Min murder investigation. As Victor worked on damage control, David proposed to Nikki. Nikki admitted her love for David, but could not give him an immediate answer. Soon after, David received a mysterious phone call in which he obscurely stated that he did not have the money yet. To make matters worse, Victor and Nikki were forced to stay in the same house when a storm prevented Nikki from returning to her own place. Meanwhile, Nick was worn out from his family's feuding, so Phyllis cheered him up with a romantic evening. Jack's family situation also worsened as Gloria announced that John's letter was authenticated. Sharon, still intent on moving out of the Abbott mansion, urged Jack to honor John's wishes by giving Gloria her half of the estate. Meanwhile, Noah, now aware of Sharon and Jack's deteriorating relationship, fled to Nick's home. Sharon went to pick up Noah and had to stay due to the storm. Back at the Abbott mansion, Jack was surprised by a visit from his sister, Ashley. The Fisher family was also having a turbulent holiday season as Jeff continued to pressure Gloria into making their engagement public. Amber was up to her typical scheming, when Daniel caught her making an audition tape for the "Faces of Jabot" contest in her "Marina" disguise. Heather spent Christmas with Paul and Maggie, but found it hard to get over Paul's abandonment. Unlike the other families in Genoa City, the Winterses enjoyed a happy holiday. Neil grew closer to Karen as he listened to her sing at Indigo. Neil was so impressed with Karen's vocal abilities that he offered her a gig at the club.

December 31, 2007 to January 4, 2008

As always, the residents of Genoa City started their New Year off with a dramatic bang. Victor offered Nikki forgiveness on her loan, if she dumped David. Nikki's refusal of this offer prompted Victor to proceed with his counter-suit against Chancellor Industries. The dramatic New Year continued as Victor was arrested for the murder of Ji Min thanks to evidence that proved he was the last to see Ji Min alive. Meanwhile, at the Abbott mansion, Jack admitted to Ashley that he tampered with their father's will. Both Ashley and John's ghost urged Jack to give Gloria her money. This would have been good news for Gloria, if she were not still beholden to Jeff's blackmail. Jeff demanded $50,000, along with a public marriage proposal. Gloria agreed, but secretly called on Kevin to get her out of the mess. Brad tried to change his luck in 2008 by attempting an unlikely alliance with Phyllis when he proposed that they break up Sharon and Jack. Brad's plan was thwarted when Phyllis denied him, and Sharon decided to remain married. Lily and Cane rang in the New Year by exchanging longing glances and flirty compliments. Finally, the two agreed to "hang out" because they could no longer deny their attraction. Devon sensed that Lily was still stuck on Cane, so he devised a plan to distract Lily by setting her up with another guy.
