Members DaytimeFan Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 Julianna McCarthy is hands down of the greatest actresses to hit daytime. Wildly underappreciated. I would love to see her get "Regular Recurring" status, her chemistry with Jess Walton and Billy Miller is off the charts fantastic. Marla Adams would also be a welcome addition, she could easily fill the John Abbott role (except instead of being a wonderful loving father, she'd be a snobby bitch of a mother, love it!) Yay! Nina is at the will reading! I really would like Tricia Cast to stay permanently, she's great! The script for Monday's episode has gone through so many hands (per the credits) that it HAD to be as fabulous as it was. What an awesome episode. Oh and I LOVE Hysterical Nikki, her performance in that one particular scene is excellent. Jess Walton is playing Regretful Jill superbly. And I know I sound like a broken record and I'm the only one saying it...but Kate Linder has been wonderful! She deserves a round of applause. So natural, so deeply sad. Pitch perfect.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 I knew the background music played during the eulogies was familiar! I was just looking at the 1990 Y&R Christmas episode and it was played just before Nikki brings a little Nicholas to visit Victor as a surprise. That piece of music hasn't been played for a while, and it's existed for like two decades, good to hear it used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members denniel Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 Oh, on this we can agree. I would kill to have Nina back full time. Pretty please, Y&R. I might even watch your Shick crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 ITA. And if budget is the problem, there's a certain blonde piece of fluff who has been floating around GC for the past 14 years who is easily dispensible! (And of course, by "fluff" I refer to the character - not the actress.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 Oh, and Nina's line about Jill never forgiving her for marrying Phillip was GREAT! The Nina/Jill rivalry was great, and there's still a lot of unresolved animosity between those two. In many ways, Jill always held Nina partly responsible for Phillip's downfall, no matter if it wasn't really true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 Yahbut...in the period before Nina left, hadn't they come to somewhat of a peace? Not friendship...but peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 They were able to tolerate each other in a better way, but some scars can't be covered up. The Phillip issue will always impact Jill and Nina's relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 When Ryan was having an affair with Tricia, Jill tried to help Nina get him back to reunite her grandsons family. She told Nina she had let herself go and got her a gym membership! I never saw Nina's exit, so I'm not sure where the relationship was at the end, but I'd be willing to bet they were just civil for the sake of Phillip. I always thought the three (including Katherine) were cute together. Nina took everything in stride and was a lot happier dealing with them than most would be. It's also a story that allowed Jill and Kay to bond pre-Mother/Daughter retcon. IMO Dina and Nina both need to stay full time. To pay you can cut Karen, Devon (or give him a real story), Colleen (or recast), JT, Jana, Kevin and even wrap up Jeffrey and Gloria's story. Then you have Michael Grazaidei who will leave when his contract is up. That should be enough money for those two plus Victoria Rowell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sheilaforever Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 The episode was superb. Gloria's entrance with Jeff made me ROFTL - great little comedic scene amidst so much drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
