Nikki and Katherine's reunion- Soap Opera Heaven.

The Fishers- Soap Opera Hell.

Katherine's little speech to Nikki about how they always saw each other through thick and thin- lump in my throat.

I always loved their relationship. I hope Nikki will be Katherine's ally through this. It sets up some excellent Nikki vs. Jill scenes!!

But again, DNA test. Come on.

Murphy is the best new character on soaps. He's so authentic and honorable. Perfect match for Katherine and s/l potential as a secondary character for years. And this Kay s/l is so rich and deep. It's Bell drama all day long. Back in the day, Y&R was built on those long, WHEN WILL THE TRUTH COME OUT stories and this one is genius. I litterally cannot wait till they all learn Marge is really Kay.

The Katherine and Nikki scenes were GOLD today. So much emotion, and the flashback Nikki had just added a lot more dept to the episode. Melody was very good with the tears, and Jeanne is rocking Katherine's confusion.

I also liked that they added some Nick and Sharon flashbacks. I don't know how much longer it can be doubted by some that those two are so going to end up together again.

Melissa Salmons continues to impress me with her Y&R scripts. She's impressed me at GL and ATWT, but Y&R isn't the easiest show for outside writers to grasp, and I think she's done a very solid job since she's joined the show. She inserts historical references in dialogue seamlessly. She DOES HER RESEARCH, that's the mark of a great script writer.

Watching the Nick and Sharon flashbacks.

I'm remembering why I disliked them both back then...awful actors.

And now, I think they are both TERRIFIC. Real evolution. I still like Phick, but I really respect how both halves of Shick have stepped up their game over the years.

No, Sharon Case is the third actress to play Sharon, I believe. Yes, they recasted the character 3 times in her first year. LOL! It's easy to forget though, most people think Case is the only actress to play the role.

Yes, I believe it played out on screen. Nick fel for Sharon almost as soon as he met her. But she was with Matt and he was with Amy.

I don't doubt they are putting Shick back together, and the faster they do, the faster the cheating can begin again. I just think that Phyllis has evolved enough as a character that she can remain on the show as a bitch, instead of returning her to the nut job she started out as. Sorry, but Nick is not worth it.

Good news folks, Jack has found his couch and tossed out the trash.

The rumor is that Sharon and Nick get together but it's not for good. Nick is supposed to be 'torn' or some sort of mess, between his past and his future. I guess that's why all of the flashbacks have to do with their young life together and not anything more current like the Parisian kiss or some of their many hugs.

As much as I love Nick and Phyllis, the real love story I want to see progress is Murphy and Katherine. Do we have a name of them yet? Murphine? I hope JC gets her second emmy from this storyline. Last year I thought she was more of a supporting but she's saving this show right now. I can't wait for more!

The relationship between Katherine and Murphy is just wonderful. On another site, I saw someone mention the name MurKat and I thought that was cute. Jeanne Cooper gave her take on the relationship in the January 13th edition of SOW. I so agree with her.

Murphy's Laws

Jeanne Cooper's Katherine has a love interest again on The Young and the Restless, and the actress doesn't quite get all the fuss. "It didn't matter to me [when Katherine didn't have one], but it seemed to matter to everyone else, and I don't know why," chuckles Cooper, noting that when she learned of the pairing with Michael Fairman's Murphy, she was intrigued. "I thought it had to be what Lauren and Michael would like to be as they get older; this soft love and respect for each other that develops into a comfort and peace." So far, she hasn't been disappointed. "Oh, I love it!" exalts Cooper. "It's a story you don't usually see carried out on daytime. Whether it's going to go on and Murphy's going to become a part of Katherine's life once she proves she's Katherine, I don't know." But Cooper has hope. "Michael is such a relaxed actor and just cotton candy to work with" she says.

      And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe.

      Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

      This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
