When has Nikki ever had an opportunity to become her own person? AFAIC, every time she tries showing Victor she doesn't necessarily need him, she winds up getting herself involved in one jam or another from which only Victor can free her.

Honestly, I think Nikki owes Victor everything. She wouldn't be able even to wipe her own ass without him.

No. Fair mean equal. If MTS is being asked to take a paycut of X percent, then EB and PB should be asked to do the same. If they are asked and have taken the cut, then I'm fine with MTS being let go if she doesn't follow suit. We may never know the truth of the situation unless MTS actually leaves and tells us what happened. Kind of the way we never knew that Genie Francis wasn't treated equally until well after the fact.

After the first breakup with Victor, Nikki had long relationships with other men, she eventually had a career, with and without Victor's help. There were long periods of time where her only involvement with Victor was as the father of her children, and while some of those stories presented her in an unsympathetic way (like the affair with Cole Howard), they were still her stories, her point of view. Victor was often her weak spot, but he was also never entirely able to forget her, and she was never so pathetic that she could do nothing without him. Only recently has the writing turned into Victor essentially hating Nikki, and Nikki either being a punching bag or being offcamera.

Nikki has never been a big independent woman, you're right, but I've always thought she was much stronger than many of the women who were paraded around as being independent, like Ashley.

The Nikki & Paul pairing was likely deliberate. It gave Nikki something to do. The whole Ashley and Victor romance came out of nowhere which looking back suggests that MAB never had big plans for Nikki on LML's stories were wrapped up.

It's true that all actors are not equal and that means talent and pay however, if one of their top performers is being asked to take a cut then they should follow suit with the rest. Personally, I couldn't stand seeing MTS leave without taking Braeden with her. ;)

    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
