What happened to Allie, Jack’s grand-daughter? Last June, in that Ashley/Traci special episode, she was dating Noah. Oh yea and… where’s Noah?

Yes! The highlight of the episode! Loved her blasting that numbskull Abby. And then Jill and Cricket busting Nina's chops had me LOLing. I could feel the real-life affection between all these ladies.

Was Michelle S right? Was Phyllis really only supposed to last 3 weeks? What was supposed to happen... Danny and Cricket reunite in '94?

Yep... Brenda Dickson... AND Deborah Adair! It was Deborah's Jill who had the initial romance and marriage with John Abbott. Deborah's Jill was there when Madame Mergeron revealed herself as Dina, and when Jack was shot. Very foundational stuff for the character of Jill. EileenD mis-speaks when she says Ashley had the first abortion on daytime TV... Erica Kane had the first, in the 70s

Agreed! But a segment on Jill and Katherine, and no mention of another Jill besides Jess 😕

Finally had time to watch 3/24. Wow - Barbara Crampton and Veronica Redd saved the episode! Without their energy, it would have been a zero. Michelle S with her heavy red lipstick was a ghoul! When is the last time we saw Tonya Lee Williams' Olivia? I felt her absence here. She should have arrived with Mamie. Nate feels very adrift from Lily and Devon and Olivia could have tied the family together, and made us feel even more the loss of Neil.

Oh my gosh, thanks… the affection with these three ❤️🥰❤️ They almost seem drunk but perhaps they’re just so comfortable with each other

I tried really hard not to ff today but some of the scenes are such weak sauce... Hamilton Winters zzzzz Agreed that TSJ has much presence, and what an upgrade from SN! What did Tucker do to make everyone so mad? Circa 2010, didn't Tucker cheat on Ashley with Maura West's Diane? And now everyone is mad at Tucker and not Diane? Is this latest version of Diane a morally-correct heroine, or is she still a historically-accurate complex schemer? Mark Grossman slays as Adam, but Amelia Heinle is a scene destroyer. I loved Courtney Hope as Sally Spectra on BnB in 2017. This pod-person version bears no resemblance. I can't stand Joshua Morrow but I'll admit he looked pretty good in bed shirtless. God, Abby's apology was so pathetic and totally self-serving. Amanda ripped her to shreds and I did enjoy that.

Yep... we know Marguerite Ray appears 5/9/90 and Veronica on 5/16/90... possible Veronica debuted on 5/10, 5/11, 5/14, or 5/15.

Wow! What a class act! She covered all the bases.

Our lives would be much emptier without your herculean efforts!! The vault treasures are the gifts that keep on giving. Thank you thank you

Mamie's arrival was a nice treat today (though my Mamie was always be Marguerite Ray, RIP) Appreciated the flashback from 1999. The establishing shot of "downtown Genoa City" looked cheap as hell and made me mad! The sign on one of the buildings "Genoa City Savings and Trust" was Photoshop 101.

The red font looks spooky... like a Dracula show with letters in dripping blood

Anna Stuart attended the Succession season 4 premiere party. She looks great! https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/21/style/rupert-murdoch-engagement-succession-party.html

this makes me realize... as the character of Nikki evolved into a snooty lady of the manor, it's strange that she didn't want to be called by the more formal "Nicole" vs Nikki

I thought we had that ep? But I looked it up and it's 7/13/93 and I guess we don't. I feel like I've seen that scene but maybe I didn't. I'm picturing that Nikki just calls and says "Hi Traci... it's Nikki"

Today was a bit better! I ff’d much less 😂 Wow, Mishael Morgan is a breath of fresh air and energized all her scenes. This is the first I’m seeing of Audra. Is she a schemer in the classic sense? Is she “innocently” urging for the JT podcast, to clear the deck so she can have Nate to herself? If so, this could have potential… Amelia Heinle: draining all life out of the room as Victoria Newman for almost 20 years.

Just random sporadic interactions over the decades... the two that come to mind: - Drunk Nikki attended Traci and Brad's '91 wedding - Nikki called Traci in New York, summer '93, to ask for Traci's help to get Steve to read Cole's novel

Set the dvr for YR for the first time in a long time, to see the anniversary week. Monday got off to a rough start... The only highlight for me was the rare pairing of Nikki and Traci planning the gala, talking about how "current and former members of the community are invited". (wink-wink) CONS: - While Susan Walters has a nice presence, how they can be recycling a "love triangle" (if you can call it that) from over 2 decades ago?? And don't get me started on Michelle Stafford's mugging... - Energy vampires Abby and Devon took up wayyyy too much of the episode. Not only that, almost a whole segment was devoted to a boring-ass recent flashback of Abby and Devon!! - The b-roll shot of the front of the Abbott estate looked so fake, like a parody. We never used to see the front of the estate. The only time I can remember is summer '96 when Mari Jo drove up and we saw ACTUAL footage of a LIVE estate. If you can't afford real location shooting - don't fake it - just leave it to our imagination.

The angel has resumed uploading '94 eps to the new vault! Thank you so much, angel!

EL’s Housewives costar Dana Delany also sh*t-talked soaps in the late 80s/early 90s and Jeanne Cooper came for her.

There was that vid from LLB and DD a few years ago, I think accompanying a vintage clip, where they talked about getting notes from Bill Bell... how it could be nerve-wracking at the time, but comparing then to now, they desperately miss Bill's criticism.

Thanks, great clip! Painful to see Traci suffering but her performance was very good. BM sounds much better solo than dueting with Michael Damian, and definitely sounds better than TEB.

Ah, thanks! Did you scan the German eps? I was doing the same, haha! But I wasn't finding it and it was driving me nuts, so I feel better now
