Why would a dynamic sassy woman like Kate want to nestle in the arms of a withered fossil like Chroman?

i think Jane was going with a similar style to her 50's look when she was a big movie and TV star. As for Angela being dowdy I have to disagree.I think she always looked quite elegant and age appropriate for a woman in her late 60's at that time.

Nowadays 21 yr olds are referred to as Daddies!

So everyone but the Top 5 are averaging 2 eps a week...

in the episode posted above, the Love sitting room is in beige tones, but wasn't originally a greeny/blue? Was any explanation given for the change or did it just happen? Later it changed again and there was a staircase. Again, any explanation? The same for the Cory estate when the whole look changed. Was it referenced?

Liberace...what is there to say? I believe the woman standing next to Felicia is Linda Dano's mother.

Isn't it funny how taste is so personal. I thought the decor was pretty dated and tacky. Oh well, to each his/her own!

That Nancy Malone story was from the 60's. I think after Nancy Malone had played Robin.

Jill must have been at Greg's wedding to Nikki and surely has some interaction. Bill must have kept it at a minimum.

And wasn't Rachel behind the wheel of a crappy 70's Oldsmobile? How did she end up driving that clunker for the car chase?

And there's Victoria and Phyllis both in one shouldered dresses. Nikki in a sparkly top. When will it end?

Not stupid at all. I think one reason that Bill didn't go there was there was simply not enough time in a tightly focused 30 min show to pursue all those plot possibilities. He was also wise enough to keep things simple as too much crossover meant stuff got complicated and unwieldy to write. Look at today's show where relationships are ignored because there is so much crossover. Weren't Abby and Lily besties at one point? You'd never know from watching now.

Jill was definitely more tenacious in her pursuits and she was prepared to work for it. I think it would have been better had Jill been at Jabot after her first marriage to John. It would have been more realistic than a young wife sitting around at home.That would have provided more conflict with Jack and Ashley at work, especially if Jill's ideas did have merit and she felt she was being stymied. That way she would have been more entitled to a share of Jabot. Nikki, on the other hand, showed no interested in any intellectually stimulating work- look pretty in front of a camera - OK. She became a society wife-always dressed to the nines at home. I think Nikki was a little underwritten in those years as to what she actually did with her time. But the idea of her working is something I don't believe Nikki would adjust to. The idea might appeal but I don't know how focussed she might be. If this was actively addressed, it would have been interesting. They could have explored that Nikki actually found ,after stumbling,that she was capable but I think as the years went on the writing was less specific towards the character.

I was quite happy for Brad to be killed off. I liked Brad well enough and DD as a performer but Brad had pretty run his course. Of course they could have found things for him to do - that holds for any character- but then he would have become yet another character endlessly romancing new characters or revisiting the past. He's worked his way through Traci, Ashley, Nikki, Victoria, Sharon etc Brad leaving town was a viable option, but then you have the task of explaining or ignoring his absence.

Nancy Malone Guiding Light ?? From an interview with Ernest Graves “One day, an actress broke her leg, and it was 10:30am and we were worried, but Walter said, “I’m calling Nancy Malone, so don’t worry!’ Nancy arrived, glanced at the script, and did the show perfectly!'”

Penny was engaged to Tom Pope but he stepped aside so she could re-unite with Jeff. Early 1966 1967 Ellen with daughter Carol Ann (later Annie)

Chuckling... I can literally see Jeanne delivering those lines. Again without that vulnerability Kay/Nikki wouldn't have worked. If Nikki was just a dumb slut, Kay wouldn't have given her 5 minutes. At what point did Nikki mature somewhat? I think during her marriage to Victor and then affair with Jack,OG Nikki was still present. Was it the marriage to PB's Jack that started a change? I can imagine Nikki married to Terry Lester's Jack would have had a different quality to her and the union. But Peter Bregman had a different essence and Bill wrote to that, changing Nikki a little in the progress, What do you guys think?

And that kind of character can be a writer's dream. If the audience is on her side a Nikki like character can stumble from one (self induced ) disaster to the next without wearing out her welcome. Way less annoying than the perils of 'Mary Sue' or some uber bitch always getting the upper hand.

And none of those people who accepted bribes will be held accountable? I know it's a soap but it might be interesting for once that this story be treated with some element of reality. If you come back from the dead, what sort of bureaucratic stuff would you have to go through to re-establish yourself? I'll take MS as 'good' Phyllis for a while as she'll have to dial down her worst 'acting' instincts.
