Scott Reeves is almost 54 and hasn't aged well at all. I can't believe he's about to be a grandfather.

I think Nikki eloped w/ Josh in the fall of 1996. From what I remember, Nikki thought she and Victor were getting back together but then Victor went to Kansas to see Hope and little Adam (I think this was when Cliff was killed) and so a disappointed Nikki turned to Josh. I didn't like that quadrangle storyline. Scott Reeves and J. Eddie Peck were not prize catches to me. I remember Fall 1996 through to the first half of 1997 as being a lull period. I was watching once or twice a week and keeping up online and through soap magazines.

Well BD had beef w/ almost everyone LOL. I recall that BD was quite vocal about the nepotism at Y&R in the mid to late 1980s so maybe that's where the rumors of beef w/ MTS come from.

JC wrote about the beef w/ MTS in her memoir and The bigger question is, who didn't have beef w/ MTS? There's beef that's been documented in print/on social media (JC, VR) and beef that's been rumored (BD, RL).

I remember Casey as part of Cricket's rape storyline and that was her last appearance until Nikki was in the hospital after being shot in 1998. I read that too, and maybe that was why Casey was absent for almost 10 years.

I grew up in a suburban area and a big adventure for me was going to the big city downtown and visiting the flagship locations of major department stores. There was something so glamorous about the cosmetic/skin care counters and the clothing/shoes/purses sections in the downtown stores that you didn't experience in the suburb mall locations.

@DRW50 Thanks for posting that video. With everything that's been going on, I've been cooking a lot more at home. In the last month, I've used half my freezer items and used a good amount of my cupboard and fridge items. I don't trust drive thrus, take out, delivery right now, although I admit I miss McDonald's, Starbucks, pizza, Chinese food, sushi.

Wow, even upscale retailers aren't immune. With Neiman Marcus struggling, I wonder what the future holds for their fellow upscale department stores Bloomingdale's, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue. I consider Macy's more mid-tier; below the upscale department stores but ahead of JC Penney/Sears.

I think that was because of the MTS/JC beef at the time. Notice how Nikki and Katherine were totally absent from each other's lives in the early 1990s when they both went through some heavy stuff (Nikki losing two children and her substance abuse, Katherine's cancer scare).

Bryan Buffington was so little and cute when I watched GL live. I can't believe he turned 40 earlier this month. Yikes, where has the time gone. Kimberly Simms was the only Mindy I saw live; the two after her I saw online. I've often wondered what happened to her acting career. Her name was mentioned in the soap press as a potential recast for some big roles in the mid-1990s (Jennifer on Days, Ashley on Y&R, Vicky on Another World) but nothing ever came of it.

#5939 could be where Phyllis crashes Paul and Christine's honeymoon.

It's a combo of good genetics, good health, good skin care, and good plastic surgery.

Years ago there was a 1968 episode of Lee Bell's Chicago talk show online. She mentioned her two sons, 6 year old Billy and 4 year old Bradley, and that she was expecting a baby near Christmas. The baby as we all know was Lauralee. So in that picture Bill Jr. would be about 15 or 16, Bradley would be about 13 or 14, and Lauralee would be about 8 or 9.

Drake cements his record as the Canadian artist with most #1s on the Billboard Hot 100. Drake is also the 8th artist not from the United States to reach 7 #1s on the Billboard Hot 100. He and Phil Collins each have 7 #1s, and the artists not from the United States with 8 or more #1s are The Beatles (20), Rihanna (14), The Bee Gees (9), Elton John (9), The Rolling Stones (8), and George Michael (8).

Summer was born in 2006, so her real time age in 2020 would be 14. She went from toddler to elementary school aged around 2009, then to teenager around 2012.

1990s big SORAS were Victoria, Nick, Billy. Victoria and Nick age normally until 1990. Victoria goes from elementary school aged to high school aged. Nick is SORASed twice, from toddler to elementary school aged, then to high school aged. In real time Victoria and Nick are 6 years apart but the castings of Heather Tom and John Alden-Nelson made them about 8 years apart, and Joshua Morrow's casting made them 2 years apart even though Joshua Morrow is older than Heather Tom. Billy born in 1993 ages normally until 1998, then returns in 1999 as a teenager. So the real time ages of Victoria, Nick, and Billy in 2020 would be 38, 32, 27. Oddly enough Melissa Ordway and Mark Grossman are not that far off age-wise from Victoria and Nick's real time ages.

I'm actually more excited about the Friday classics than the current episodes 😂 Can't wait to see what's unearthed next week.

I think almost every Black soap actor in the 1990s got overshadowed by Shemar. What happened to the careers of Dondre T. Whitfield, Monti Sharp, Keith Hamilton Cobb, Kevin Mambo, Peter Parros, Jason George. None of them really had the same degree of daytime and post-daytime success as Shemar.

I think Drake is going to be the next artist to reach 10 #1s on the Billboard Hot 100, unless Bruno Mars or Katy Perry have monster hits, or Usher has a massive comeback.

OMG I just realized that Kim Zimmer was pregnant with Jake Weary when Reva was pregnant with Shayne. I was watching GL live when I could in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I feel really old now 🤣

This episode was part of the 20th anniversary week, March 22-26, 1993. The big events I remember from March 1993 were Neil and Dru's wedding at the Chancellor estate and Jill finding out she was pregnant with Billy.

I can't believe Maureen Garrett is almost 72 . With her being on the west coast, why hasn't one of the remaining shows tried to cast her? I would love to see Maureen playing a grande dame diva.

Count me in as another Maureen Garrett fan. I thought she was one of the most beautiful women on daytime in the 1990s.

I still miss Michael Zaslow. I'm so glad I got to watch his best work either live on online.

I still can't believe that James Reilly was a part of that great GL early 1990s writing team and then went on to usher in sci-fi era Days. Talk about contrasts.
