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!

    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.
