That's the Niki Smith I knew. I started watching in 1969 so Gillian Spencer was my Viki/Niki. Yeah her Niki sounded more like someone who spoke like a working class person from a city. Gillian Spencer's Niki fit well with Antony Ponzini's Vince. In contrast, Gillian Spencer's Victoria Lord sounded elegant (as did Erika Slezak's Victoria).

I don't remember much about them from watching all those years ago, but I do remember that I found Cecily extremely annoying!

Found the comment you referenced. It was during the created flashback scene when Dani was reminiscing about coming home with Bill after their daughter Naomi's wedding. They talk about how Dani gave up everything for Bill and then ... Bill: I tell you what -- if Jacob were to ask Naomi for half the things I asked of you, they'd never find that boy's body. Dani: Because, in Bill Hamilton's plan for his progeny: Naomi is to become President, followed immediately by her appointment to the Supreme Court. Bill: Yeah, you're damn right. She's got that kind of promise. Dani: She does. Bill: Yeah. From this scene:

To make the conversation fun, I am imagining Nurse Shanice calculating "When was that child born? When did they marry? How old is he really? questions, questions? And (pause) .. Oh look at that cute doctor over there, I should greet him!"

I added onto my above post that Martin may have married young because of his political ambitions. A trajectory all planned out. Martin just said a couple of times in past two weeks that he wants something more (as if he's newly thinking about this) and now says he would like to run for president; but I suspect that's been his plan all along. -- to run for president in 2032. So by my theory/speculation, he is 28 years old now, and became a father at age 20-21 by adopting children who were already 7-8 years old at the time of the adoption. That's the only way the timeline makes sense. Smitty could be older than Martin. Martin might have insisted on the marriage and family thing. (but this is all *ONLY* my speculation) Anita said in the first episode "a march on Washington in the 70s"

So I'm guessing Martin is supposed to be around 28 years old now so that he'd be 35 by the 2032 presidential election. His husband Smitty could be any age. I am going to imagine/speculate that the children they adopted were already 7-9 years old at the time of adoption. (Dialogue mentioned reading them stories but maybe just reading to the younger one, or maybe reading to both during first weeks of adoption to make them feel at home?). With my theory, they adopted the children when Martin was 20-21 years old. As someone posted above thread, maybe Martin wanted to appear stable before embarking on a career in politics, so he wanted to have the househusband and children ready, in order to depict a stable perfect life to voters? To take that thought further, Martin may have married young because of his political ambitions.

Yes but even worse. Ron thinks these costumes, lookalikes, and related escapades are hilarious, but they're not. The first pic is a stuffed bear in an obnoxious saccharine storyline that one character gave another (two characters that never belong together) .. and then the bear came to life in someone's dream or something? I had to skim it, it was so awful, so I don't care about the details. The second pic is from "Body&Soul" a soap-within-soap on Days that was a horrid storyline that lasted for many months and even Deidre Hall commented (after Ron C. stopped writing) in a subtle way that implied relief it was done. The last pic actually is Greg Rikaart on Days who was the Y&R chipmunk.

yes I remember Jamey tweeting about that, and this gives me concern.

Martin didn't say *when* specifically that he'd be running for president. He didn't say 2028 or any election year. Maybe he is sharing a longterm plan with his mother. Like maybe he'd be in Congress so many terms, then run for senate or governor, then president? Or maybe set up a preliminary exploratory committee (informally for now) for running in 2032?
