All as a plot point to force Gloria down our throats and make us feel sorry for her, even though she was a twisted and awful character. Those were dark times, but a preview of what was to come. Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since that era.
I sat down and watched an episode for the first time in years, I must say, the acting quality and the direction of this show is really not the Y&R I remember, it’s really declined over the years 😢
