At @Paul Raven thanks for sharing, I remember seeing this somewhere before, maybe back 500 pages in this thread lol.

The Scott Adams character is only mentioned the 1978 synopsis. Snapper set up Nikki with the young intern only on  Casey's permission. Nikki couldn't believe he wasn't just interested in her body and felt she was no good to him; Scott convinced her she could be the woman for him if she could change, if she really wanted to. Nikki tried her best with Scott until she slept with her college professor for a grade. Nikki almost dropped out and was going leave town but Brock convinced her to stay in town and in college. Scott is never mentioned in the 1979 synopsis at all; I’m going to guess Stauffer never shared scenes with MTS in the role of Nikki.

Interesting situation, sounds like typical Conboy diva behavior. But it sounds like Scott’s story pretty much ended and was only a minor character with nowhere else to go. 
 

Interestingly Stauffer later appeared again on Y&R in 1987 in another minor role must have been no hard feelings. 

If sticking to the script was such a “must” for conboy I wonder how he and Braeden got along those two years together.

They obviously replaced the music during Nina and Ryan's dance, but the tune in the original doesn't sound like a famous song.

Yeah in the original episode, Ryan and Nina dance to a Celine Dion song, which gets changed during that scene.

We'll see. The bringing back of dead babies thing is not really my vibe. I can't really imagine a scene with AH's Victoria being reunited with the girl that used to play Abby only as her daughter, lol. 

I wish they’d strike a deal with Heather T. To return for like a week to make these scenes work

Thanks!! Obviously interesting the episode has Eve in it.

@YRfan23 Is this episode where Traci got really NASTY to Lauren, leading Lauren to think Traci was one sending her the puzzle pieces? 

Haha yes it is!  and Traci shows no remorse nor mentions Lauren’s trouble with Sheila, or losing a baby she thought was hers…

I hope for Christmas they show show us the episode where Eve dies in December 1993 or something with her from 80-83…that seems unlikely sadly…

While an airdate isn't specified, the photos CBS released indicate "Thanksgiving," so he can either air next week or after Thanksgiving. It would make sense for it to be Wednesday, November 22, since Y&R is airing a repeat from 1993 on Thursday and is preempted for sports on Friday.

That’s awesome!!  granted we have this one already but I’m glad at least Y&R continues to deliver with its classics!

The pic of him is on the Jordan's house set, interesting

Are they both relatives of Cole and Eve?? That’s what I’m starting to wonder. Hopefully Cole is there to rescue Nikki and didn’t turn psychotic as well. 

Holy crap!!!

wasn’t expecting this return at all!!! Don’t tell me though he’s the mastermind of this Claire/Aunt Jordan stuff…

Definitely a very huge get!

Loved how you didn't name one specific storyline - just the entire show.  LOL

Haha, well I do think the first few years (1999-2003) had better writing then the last few (2004-2008) so I guess mostly anything involving, Killer Guacamole, The Vendetta story in Rome, and of course Vincent as the blackmailer. 

Passions wins for this one I think. 

I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done my friend!!

Glad to know others think Nate was poorly treated and that this story makes no sense.

And while I read that again, Eric Braeden must be happy that Victor wins and is in charge, I don't see this as a victory for the character OR the actor.

How is it a win for Braeden if Victor acts like a nutjob to make something happen? If Victor rearranges the names on the exec office doors for the 4th time in a year? That is not a character who knows what the hell he's doing.

I feel like Braeden at this point doesn’t care anymore if it’s logical or not but he definitely refuses to have Victor stripped of any of his power. I bet the original intent was really for Victor to have dementia, but EB probably stepped in as he always does, because that obviously would have to weaken the character a lot and you know how that makes Braeden feel….He just wants to be in charge and nobody behind the scenes has the courage to stand up to him and say: “No Eric, we are doing it this way if you don’t like it…well there’s the door…”

I realize the Nate fan club is small because he's done so many shady things.

But I still don't understand the "You go, Victor!!" posts from people so happy that he fired Nate. None of that story made any sense to me.

As a doctor, wasn't Nate thinking of what was best for Victor? Wasn't he thinking more like a doctor than a guy wanting to take over a company? And what would have been Nate's move to support Victor?

Victor set Nate up -- completely. Isn't that a more dangerous and pathetic move for a CEO, not forgetting the fact that he put his family through all this?

We're supposed to see Victor as a man on top of his game, but instead, Josh Griffith painted him as a guy who should be put away.

It’s just sad because it’s such bad writing but it’s always about making Braeden happy that Victor has won again, more then anything.

I checked that REC.ARTS site, and here's the proof that the Days episode aired at least SOME place on 2/27/91, however there is no mention of it airing at all in the Nielsen book that week. So, that's the first time I've seen something like that happen. I can only guess they accidentally forgot to list the "breakout" information for the 2/27/91 episode.  The Nielsen books will, sometimes, have an additional paper insert which lists data that Nielsen says has arrived from the network too late to be included in the printed book, so my only guess is that is what happened.

Being this is the same date of the possible "airing" of BB, maybe that happened to BB too? It actually aired some place on 2/27/91, but is not mentioned at all in the Nielsen book just like Days was not??

Well, I go over a year without a post and then twice in one week!!! What
is the world coming to! I talked to Vickie, and since she was supposed to
do the update for this episode and did not get it because of the briefing,
she asked me to do it.

Roman is at Victor's looking for Johnny. He runs into IzzyB who is wrapped
in a towel on her way to the sauna. He tells her he's there on business
looking for Johnny to ask him about the motorcycle he saw at the refinery.
IzzyB says she thought that the case was solved. Roman says that there
are some loose ends he doesn't understand. IzzyB says that she thinks he's
dragging the case out as an excuse to see Whitney. Roman tells her he's
getting tired of telling her that nothing is going on and she's tired of
him denying that there is. He tells her she's acting like a jealous
girlfriend and she says that he's with her because she reminds him of
Marlena.

Eve is in a motel room down in Miami. She has a man faking a passport
for her.

Frankie is pounding on Carly's door. He's leaving for Miami to get Eve.
Frankie asks Carly if she's OK. She says she's worried about something.
Why doesn't she call Bo? She says no. He asks her who else she's got
and up walks Victor. Frankie and Carly go out in the hall and Frankie
gives her the phone number of a guy who will help her out if she needs
it (Guess who????). Carly goes back in. Victor has brought her a gift.
It's a gown especially made for her for their date tonight. She kisses
(just a peck) him to thank him and says she's looking forward to the
evening.

Julie runs into Bo at the hospital and they talk about the ballet.
Julie tells Bo that Carly is going with Victor. Lawrance comes up and
wants to confirm his and Julie's date for the ballet. Julie says she
wouldn't miss it and is looking forward to it. Bo wants to know what's
going on. Julie says "I love Sleeping Beauty" and Bo says "You also
hate Lawrance Allamain". He tells her she's playing a dangerous game.
She tells him that he shouldn't stand back and watch Victor get closer
to Carly and that he may miss his only chance with her if he doesn't
tell her how he feels. (I wish they would stop pushing these two on
us!!!!!! I just can't stand it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

There's a knock on Eve's motel room door. Eve opens it expecting to
find the fake passport guy, but it's Frankie. He tells her she's only
making things worse. Everybody will think she really did kill Nick
if she leaves. She says she's going to South America. He asks her
"what if I've got evidence to clear you". He tells her that Tanner
admitted that he lied and about the train. There's a knock on the door
and it's the police. Frankie answers the door looking like he just
got out of bed. The police are looking for a guy who forges passports.
Eve is out on the ledge. After the police leave, Frankie goes to the
window and Eve is gone!!! Frankie is pissed, but then Eve walks thru
the door. She went down the fire escape in case they searched for her.
He tried to convince her to come back to Salem telling her he wouldn't
let anything happen to her. She agrees to go.

Mickey runs into Maggie at the hospital. He tells her that he can't
go to the ballet with her because he has to work on Eve's case. He
gives her the tickets and tells her to go with someone else and to not
wait up for him, it will be an all-nighter. Maggie walks into the Dr.'s
lounge where Neil is sleeping. They kiss and Maggie says they have to
be careful. She asks him to go to the ballet with her.

Lawrance is in the lab talking to Jordan when Carly walks in. Lawrance
claims that he wants to donate money and Carly tells him that Shane has
made it very clear that his money is not welcome and that he should
come nowhere near the lab. He says she's mighty testy today, does it
have anything to do with Bo? No, it has nothing to do with Bo, but has
everything to do with you!!! She tells him to leave. She asks Jordan
what he wanted - he said nothing and rushes off to a meeting.

Carly goes to the Dr.'s lounge and undresses, and her locker won't open.
(GIVE ME A BREAK!!!) Of course, Bo has to come and fix it. She has to
get ready and Bo says "For your big date with Victor?" She replies
"We're just good friends". She's real testy, and Bo wants to know what's
bothering her - "talk to me Princess" (GAG, GAG). Emmy walks in (YEA!!!)
and wants to know where Shaun Douglass is as she's got some cookies to
give him. Bo tells her he'll see her later and she leaves. Carly wants
to know if they're only friends and Bo says yes. She doesn't want to
talk anymore now, so Bo leaves. She takes the piece of paper with the
phone number on it out of her pocket.

Roman is standing at the mantel looking at a picture of himself and Marlena.
Whitney walks in and asks if he had a rough day. He tells her that he
got into it again with IzzyB. She had a lousy day too, why don't they
turn it around together, treat ourselves to a nice dinner. Roman asks
her if she's going to cook, she says she doesn't cook and Roman says
"It must come with the profession, I never knew a shrink that could
cook". She says she'll prepare a nice relaxing eveing for them.

IzzyB runs into Alice at the Sand Dollar and joins her. Alice asks her
what's wrong (lot of that going around today!). IzzyB asks her if she
knew Marlena. She want's to know how Roman could love her, being she's
so different and all they do is fight all the time. Alice tells her
that they can't leave things the way they are or neither of them will
ever be happy.

Neil and Maggie are at the Sand Dollar for the pre-ballet party. Maggie
feels funny to be out in public with him. Julie and Lawrance show up.
Maggie explains why she's with Neil. Lawrance goes to get a drink and
Maggie and Neil want to know why she's with Lawrance. Julie says "He
had an extra ticket, just like you, darling". As she walks away, Maggie
wonders if she suspects. Lawrance then pumps Julie as to whether Mickey
has said anything about Eve's case. Julie just tells him to stop pumping
for info. Maggie and Neil decide to leave and go back to his place.
Julie looks at them knowingly as they leave.

Carly and Victor arrive at the Sand Dollar. There are some hard glances
going on between Victor, Lawrance, Julie and Carly. Lawrance even looks
jealous. Lawrance comments that they're not the only odd couple here.
Julie replies "It seems we've started a trend". (She was in fine form
today. I really like her character!). The four begin to talk. Lawrance
tells Victor he has wonderful taste, and Vic says he owes it all to Carly.
The couples part and as Vic and Carly are walking away, Lawrance tells
Carly not to trip on Vic's cane. Victor tells Carly not to worry as he
won't let anyone hurt her again. Julie and Lawrance observe how chummy
Vic and Carly are getting and Lawrance tells Julie that she didn't come
to spy on him, she came to spy on Victor. Victor says he knows what Julie
is up to with Lawrance and she's going to get hurt.

Bo calls his answering machine, Carly left a message asking for help to
get some information on Jordan Bishop. She does not leave her name or
number, but Bo recognizes her voice. Bo has Alice over to the boat. He
asks her to help his mom out with Shaun Douglass as he's going out of town
for a few days to check on Jordan Bishop. He can't stand by and do nothing
if someone is in trouble. Alice tells him he fights for the people he
loves and one of those people is Carly.

Whitney has served Roman Chinese take-out food. He seems relaxed. They
read their fortune cookies. His: "Past may come back to repeat itself"
Hers: "Fate brings you the one of your dreams". Roman drops something
on the floor and bends over to pick it up. He grabs his back and says
"I must have reactivated and old falling off the cliff injury". (What
a riot!!). Whitney tells him to take off his shirt and she'll walk on
his back. He says no, she says, try it you might like it. As his shirt
comes off, the doorbell rings and of course IzzyB is at the door. She
says she came to apologize, that she never meant to hurt him. She says
that it's none of her business who he's seeing and why, he says that's
right. That said, she leaves, misunderstanding the entire episode.
Whitney comes back in and asks if everything is OK and he says no.

Back at the Sand Dollar, Victor makes the announcement that he's under-
writing the cost of the night's ballet and donating the proceeds to
the Riverfront Clean-up Project. Bo has walked in during this announcement.
Carly accepts the money. Bo leaves in disgust. Lawrance looks pissed.
Victor takes Carly home (what happened to the ballet???) and she goes
into her apartment and looks at a framed picture that Shaun Douglass
drew of her rescueing him.

That's it!! Enjoy.

Lol I had actually added that recap before you did

All those scenarios sound plausible. I noticed the two episodes (1522 and 1523) feature an early appearance of Don Diamont (as his Y&R character). Perhaps that had something to do with it?

Yes, Brad Carlton crosses over to B&B on 4/20-4/21/93 with a phone call to Sheila on 4/19/93.

with the possible preemption and the show deciding to not skip any episodes we would have seen Brad confronting Sheila on B&B then back with Lauren on Y&R the same day which would have messed up the continuity for the shows so maybe skipping an episode entirely was what helped to not mess anything up.
