That’s Correct!

Legend has it that a person born on Halloween will have the ability to see and talk to spirits.

Next Question for $100,000.00

Another day, another dose of Victor’s nastiness. Here’s what went down on Thursday, September 25’s episode of .

Nick hears Victor yell Sabrina’s name, then finds him passed out on the floor in the gallery.

The Newman clan learns that Victor is suffering from self-inflicted dehydration and malnutrition, which explains his more-erratic-than-normal behavior and his incoherent speech when talking to Nick.

Victoria suggests having Victor committed since he is clearly unable to take care of himself, but Nikki says "No way." She’s seen the outcome of making Vic do something he doesn’t want to before, and it didn’t turn out pretty.

With Victoria and Nikki on opposing sides, Nick holds Victor’s fate in his hands. He’s the deciding factor…

Not surprisingly, Victor gets cranky while in the hospital and tries to throw his whole family out of his hospital room. He demands to leave, and threatens to take legal action on the hospital if they don’t allow him to go.

Elsewhere in Genoa City, Heather tells Paul she thinks he’s hiding something about what Victor was up to in Mexico. Paul denies it.

Heather begins feeling woozy and Paul takes her to the hospital where she learns she has Epstein-Barr.

While Paul’s out of her hospital room, Heather disobeys her dad’s orders to stay away from Victor (who they’ve learned is also in the hospital). She sneaks into Victor’s room, and he is not at all happy to see her.

Heather tries to plea for Victor’s forgiveness of Adam, and Victor tells her to leave. She continues to try, asking Victor to lift his blackballing of Adam from every firm in the area. Vic turns nastier and Heather finally leaves.

Meanwhile, Michael lays into Jeffrey, accusing him of turning River in to the Feds. Jeff finally admits he was the tattletale, saying he didn’t want to be a knowing accomplice to hiding a felon. Gloria knows better, and accuses him of turning River in due to his jealousy of their past. Jeffrey doesn’t deny that was the reason he squealed.

In Mexico, Jack and Adam continue to flash pictures of Vic around and ask questions of the locals in hopes of getting the scoop on Victor’s doings while there.

Jack lets Adam in on a little of Jack and Victor’s history, then issues a dire warning to Adam: He thinks Adam is next on Victor’s ruin-your-life hit list.

The light drawing is very well done (and believe me, its not easy to draw without seeing what you are drawing in the process). However, the long exposure brightened the background and the light in the lower left of the image enough to be a strong distraction from the rest of the image.PrevNext

Top 10 Holiday Lighting Products
Guide Picks
Browse some of our favorite holiday lighting products for Christmas, including the new LED lights that use up to 95% less energy than traditional lights.
1) Faceted LED Lights
"A 60-light string features LEDs that use up to 95% less energy, yet are among the brightest lights you can get! Long-lasting (rated for 50,000 hours of use), and cool to the touch too. Cut-glass bulbs magnify the light to enhance brightness."
Vendor’s Site

2) Commercial-Grade Light String Set
"Heavier, 20-gauge wire means that you’re not limited to connecting three 100-mini-light strings together, as with typical lights…now you can connect up to six of these light strings—900 bulbs—on one extension cord! Use them indoors or out. 3000-hour bulb life. “Lamp Lock” keeps all the bulbs pointing in the same direction."
Vendor’s Site

3) UL-Listed TinyLites™ Light Strings
"For a lot of light, but little hassle, the small size of TinyLites™ on this Cluster Light String makes decorating easier…smaller bulbs, smaller wires! Five points of bright light shine from each of its 30 “clusters” along the 8’ string! 8-function motion controller lets you create dazzling effects, including waves, twinkle, flash, steady-on and more."
Vendor’s Site

4) Snowfall Light Box
No time to hang outdoor lights? This product may be the answer. It’s a weatherproof light-projection system that projects the illusion of gently falling snow onto the front of your home.
Vendor’s Site

5) Combo Icicle Light String
"Hang them where you used to hang your old, basic icicle lights, but now enjoy a different, brighter, more colorful look! Combo light string features a C9 reflector bulb atop each of the 27 “drops” of mini-lights. Total of 300 lights over its 14’ length! 3” lead."
Vendor’s Site

6) Twinkling Light-Sculpture String
"One light string makes it easy to hang these lighted stars or snowflakes in minutes, plus new “twinkling” bulbs are distributed throughout to create an overall, random twinkling effect! 4-Snowflake String (5”-dia. flakes) is 5-1⁄2’-long overall, with 96 clear mini-lights total. 10-Star String (five 10” tall, five 6” tall stars) is 11-1⁄2’-long, with 150 clear mini-lights total."
Vendor’s Site

7) Two-Part Split Wreath
"Hanging on a closed double door or gate, it looks like you’d expect any bright and beautiful, pre-lit, artificial wreath to look like. But since it’s a two-part wreath, you can still open the door and walk through! Pre-lit with clear mini-lights, so there are no strings to tangle with. Two separate 24” cords."
Vendor’s Site

8) Flickering Window Candles
"Steady light or flickering flame plus automatic on/off and light sensor. This 12"H electric candle creates a warm holiday glow in any room or window. A built-in timer keeps it on for 8 hours, shuts it off for 16, then repeats the cycle. The sensor turns the light on when daylight or roomlight fades, then turns it off when lights come back up. Two candelabra bulbs give you the choice of a steady light or a flickering "flame."
Vendor’s Site

9) Prelit Corner Tree
"Round and full on the front, this prelit tree is just as square as your corner on the back. Put it flush against the wall and you’ve created the illusion of a round tree without wasting all the space. Use it as your main tree in a house or condo, or as a secondary tree in the dining room. Includes a three-prong corner stand. Prestrung with 350 lights to save you time. 7-1/2′H; extends 30" from the corner. Three sections for easy assembly and off-season storage. UL listed."
Vendor’s Site

10) Electric Timer Candle
"Plug in this electric candle and forget about it. No open flame to worry about, and no switch to turn on and off. Just plug this electric candle in at the time you want it to automatically come on—it turns off after six hours. A built-in timer repeats the cycle every 24 hours. To change the time, just unplug and replug at the hour you wish to have it light. White plastic "candle," clear glass bulb, brass base. 9"H. Energy-saving 7-watt bulb; 50" cord."
