Yes it has and I admit I definetly view her different now. She is written alot differently from when I hated her in the past. I just remember her being this annoying loud mouth biyatch and then towards the end of her run she was incredibly bland and boring. That horrible haircut she had didnt do her any wonders either. It helps that she now has a good storyline and she's grown up and matured. I have to say I am enjoying her and how hell bent she is on exposing Cane

Whore! LOL....j/k. Are there any other Chanceller men out there for her to snag?

Nina is at her best when she's in this more determined mode, and when she's around the Chancellors. If you only saw her when she was with Ryan and Tomas (I especially hated the triangle with Ryan and Tricia and the rewrite that said she slept with Cole, done so viewers would be less put off by Ryan going with Tricia), then I'm not surprised you weren't too sure of her. But Nina's a great, great character, and Y&R have done right by her so far on this return.

I'm so glad Nina's is being cemented back into this show. I also like how the 3 Chancellor divas are letting their powers unite in an almost mythic, comic book way. Like they're so attached by their love of Phillip that the only way to bring him back or reveal the truth is by all three of them working together, albeit reluctantly. Am I reaching?

I REALLY cannot fathom how they're going to explain the paternity case of Chloe and Cane. It makes no sense for Cane to use Phillips DNA for a blood test and if he did he'd KNOW he wasn't the father and therefore he'd NEVER marry Chloe. I'm starting to wonder if this will be addressed as certainly Jill would have brought it up, right?

The only solution I can think of is that Chloe used Billy's DNA, how she did it, I don't know. But that's the only way it would be plausible. But this would stall her re-characterization from bad-Chloe to repented, changed Chloe.

And I still want them to explain how all those DNA tests on Jill/Kay were wrong.

LOL

:lol::lol::lol:

Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall the day someone says that to her??

WASN'T THAT AWESOME???

What utter f*cking chemistry! I'm totally loving this catastrophically anxious Cane. He's so much better when he's not a dupe or a sap.

Nah. Billy is a slut now, but we SAW him in high school.

I wonder if she switched to a wig because her underlying hair is short...in prep for a future

story.

I never liked Nina in the past. I thought she brought a lot to the show in the start--baby switch and then her battles with Jill/Kay. Those were awesome. I guess I enjoyed her stories all the way through David Kimble.

Then, with Ryan and Tomas and her clinical depression story...I was bored. I was ready for her to leave the show.

But I'm totally enjoying this return.

Yes, exactly. Those three can go from fighting to comrades-in-arms in seconds. I love that. Even today, I loved how Kay could address both love and anger with Jill.

The mystery of how this DNA stuff happened is actually one of the compelling pieces of all of this.

If Kay

, he'll be on.

I want him as barrista at Crimson Lights, talk-to and moral center for all.

I don't think he's needed for this story, but I'd like to see Katherine confide in him about her troubles. Or see him bond with Jill. Katherine's always been from money, hasn't she? Jill spent the first 20 years of her life middle class, if that. I'd like to see them become friends.

I know budgetwise we can't see him very often, and I'd rather he be in the background than killed off, but perhaps we could just hear footsteps going up the stairs as fast as possible every time another Jill/Nina/Katherine round is about to start. :lol:

It would appear that Phillip was more like his mom and dad then we ever could have realized (or the writers back then!)

But seriously - if Jill wants some money and she's so damn sue happy, she should sue each and every DNA lab!!! She'd get a huge settlement!

      The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.

      I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.

      It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.

      The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.

      The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.

      Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.

      I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
