Does Reva even have a job in 1998? I believe her next job is her stint as a tv host? I remember she was advocating for the underprivileged like Ruth and later Catalina.

She's presumed dead for part of the year, and the rest she isn't working, IIRC.

From what she recently just mentioned in early 1999, she's a shareholder for Lewis, so she dabbles in "meetings" and "decisions" here and there. Which is convenient I guess haha. She's just as busy at Lewis as crazy Dinah is running WSPR right now.

This is around the time Y&R had Nikki become a businesswoman too. I guess with characters they were starting to run out of ideas for this was an easy way out. Luckily, they never go too far with Reva to where she is running a company.

Yay, I can't wait to keep watching! :)

So I haven't seen any indications of Phillip and India interacting much at all, so not sure how I would feel about that coupling. I'm just fine with Phillip and Harley for now, they're cute enough.

Cassie and Hart - that's a hard one for me. I truly do think Dinah and Hart belong together, but the As much as @P.J. will hate to hear this (haha), I do find Blake and Ben to be steamy. It's like a forbidden love that could be dangerous, which is fun to watch.

Oh and I'm sad to say this, but with the Michelle recast, it just isn't the same for me anymore with Jesse/Michelle. Lenz is a great actress, but the chemistry/vibe just isn't there any it's clear they're putting Danny/Michelle together. But I really did love the Jesse/Michelle love story in those first 18 months.

My eyes, my eyes! I just can't stand Hunt Block. And I had to cringe through plenty of Hunt Block's making out technique on ATWT.

I'm not sure I've ever witnessed a recast where the new person had a good chemistry with their love interest. Whatever Tom/Margo on ATWT had withered through the multiple recasts. It's probably why I was more of a Phillip/Harley fan than a Phillip/Beth fan with Beth Chamberlain in the role.

Another example of the insane soap tradition of naming kids after someone else in the story. Did Hart even like his father? Who names their kid after their brother-in-law?

That some weasely writer ignored a boatload of history and foisted a brat on some insignificant notShayne instead of giving us a grandchild of Chamberlain/Marler and Thorpe lineage is a crime.

Who names a child after their brother in law? An ex-stripper who doesn't know her own daddy.

Reva hadn't worked since 1985. And even then, I doubt she did anything. All she ever knew was how to cash checks.

This is also the point where Reva gets very annoying and becomes Springfield's biggest Karen! Why does Frank bring Jeva to barge in on the Spaulding party? Why does he let them watch as the safe is searched? I just remember this time with Kimmer in those bad beige pantsuits that Reva would never wear, with a perpetual scowl on her face and yelling.

There's a point where I think Kim was just sick of everything. I don't know if Watros winning that emmy got under skin, or the writing, or just realizing she was back where she started and not going anywhere.

I never thought Kim looked good in short hair. And it really didn't fit Reva's character.

LOL - fair point on the bold part. I'm learning something new now, you're not a Cassie fan either haha :)

It's interesting to hypothesize... I did recently learn and posted about Signy saying Kim was horrible to her, so I wonder if that had something to do with it... either Kim just wasn't in a good spot in life during this time or she just didn't like Signy and her personal disdain was coming through the screen. I don't think it was the Watros win, because you can see her standing up and cheering big time when Watros won, but I suppose that could have been alcohol or adrenaline, or just the fact that someone from GL won, but then she later thought and stewed about it haha.

Maybe it was all the bad press/critiques about the cloning storyline that she just came off of haha.
