Some thoughts and questions about Newman Media

[kha]

1. CEO Adam needs a secretary — someone who'll guard his office door and stop the eavesdropping and barging in. He could hire Gloria. She'd be a hoot dealing with Sally and Chelsea.
2. Speaking of employees, are Sally, Chelsea, and Chloe the only ones? No one else is seen or even mentioned.
3. What exactly does Newman Media do? Is it an online news site like I think Chance Com was? How does a fashion design line fit in?
4. How could Adam not know having Chelsea work for NM would cause problems? She's never been exactly even-tempered — even before she went full-on crazy.
5. I assume NM is located in the same building as Newman Enterprises because it has the same type of door. So, does that office building not have an overnight lobby guard? I've never seen a large office building open to folks just walking in and wandering in the building late at night, even if they work there.
6. Adam should lock his office door at night.

Answering #2 The lack of extras and supporting players is a major issue. Newman at one point had Victor, Vicky, Nick, Sharon, Brad, Neil, Drucilla, Phyllis and Connie(I think that was her name) and extras floating around at times. None of the business stuff will ever look legit if they don't start conducting actual business.

Gloria as secretary vs. the ladies of the fashion platform would be hilarious! But I think she's like a CEO herself for Lauren now, right? Doing the job Sally/Summer used to?

1 - Adam DOES need a secretary, but Gloria has taken Sally and Summer's ex job with Lauren. But she would be amazing, giving Adam love advice.
2 - Don't forget about Noah. Adam really needs to hire more guys. The three women who do work for him either want to sleep with him, or kill him in his sleep (you know Chloe would if she could)
3 - NM is a media company, meaning it can talk about fashion, sport, current affairs, health and whatnot. Kind of like Viacom, Sony, Fox...
4 - I'm sure Adam's guilt is pushing him to give Chelsea chance after chance. He knows that her crazy was partly caysed by his behavior.
5 - I don't think NM and NE are in the same building. I think there was some talk about finding offices when Victor first created the company and NE was never mentioned. NM is not a NE subsidiary, like ChanceCom was part of CI, it's an independent entity, owned only by Victor.
6 - Adam should probably lock his door during the day, too, since everybody keeps barging in.

Lauren's son Scott is a reporter. Maybe they should bring him back to work for NM.

Adam doesn't seem like he has anything to do - no outside visitors, no phone calls, no assistant. Three employees who do not understand boundaries and are not contributing anything to the bottom line except havoc. This was supposed to be a powerful company when Ashland owned it, what happened? Even Victor seems disinterested and would not be surprised if he favors Victoria and hands Newman Media back to his precious daughter. The only thing next for Adam is to revert back to his dark side. And why not? No one believes that he's changed, so why the heck should he? There is one bright side, if Newman Media goes back to Newman-Locke, it would be fun to watch the dolls of the fashion platform working for Victoria and Ashland. I'll bring the popcorn!

Adam's secretary has been mentioned a few times. Adam even referred to her by her name, when Sharon was doing her sexy secretary routine.
