It's funny how Nikki & Ashley are considered Victor's "Great" loves when he arguably loved Hope & Diane just as much as them.

Y&R's last good year was 2003. Unfortunately the second half of that year ominously foreshadowed much of what the show has become.

Chadwick's Reggie appears at 2:30

Antonio Sabato Jr. is currently on The View complaining about being blackballed in Hollywood for supporting Trump.

There are plenty of those episodes around. You just have to know who to ask.

Deborah Adair was more a Sue Ellen type. She was softer but not a pushover.

Thad Luckinbill & William Fichtner star in the recently released 12 Strong with Chris Hemsworth, Trevante Rhodes, Michael Pena, Rob Riggle & Michael Shannon.

Rick Hearst is joining the Dynasty Reboot

Finn Wittrock has joined Barry Jenkins adaption of 'If Beale Street Could Talk'

Andy & Susan's Diane weren't bad together. Unfortunately the show didn't care about either character by that point.

Bill Bell loved 'girls from the wrong side of the tracks who craved the good life' trope as much as Agnes Nixon.

Jill has always been a character that's wanted more from life. It's just over the years she's matured into a woman who is ok with that. Deborah's Jill is a softer presence than Brenda's flighty Jill or Jess earthy Jill but she's very much in line with who the character always has been.

Early Jill was a schemer too she just was written with more heart to balance things out. Deborah's Jill was Randall Edwards to Brenda's Ilene Kristen.

Angela was an antagonist for Traci. She was sort of a proto-Lauren.

Casey was gone by that point and April left around the same time of most of the rest of the original cast (spring/summer of that year).

Exactly. Morrow was fine up until the writers severely warped the character to make Nick & Phyllis happen. It initially began a couple of years before when Heather Tom left & the show chose Shick as the future of the Newman family. But once the show decided to kill off Cassie & break up Shick, Nick became unrecognizable. He went from a well intentioned short tempered mama's boy to a bar tending surfer dude overnight.

The show decided a LONG time ago that Morrow was the future of the show which is how so many useless random male characters like Kevin and Cane flourished.

The worst part about aging Nick was Y&R cast for looks over talent. Morrow is/was attractive and has grown into a fairly solid actor but he was never in HT or SC's league and the show has suffered massively because of it.

Amnesia.

No chance of Danny reuniting with Vicky?

Both. But the mid 90's-early 2000s was his absolute worst.

That was a big part of it. He was also very ageist toward Y&R's actresses which is why there was so many unnecessary casting decisions during the latter part of his run.

Ed is notorious for alienating actresses. He was particularly nasty towards Eileen & Alex Donnelly.

Novella Nelson has passed away.

Had Kim been played by a competent actress (like a young Andrea Evans, Tricia Cast or Marcy Walker) I could've liked her. But Kelli Maroney was like nails on a chalkboard during her tenure on the show.
