When I really started watching Nikki and Victor were already fully dysfunctional so I never saw them as "romance" I always felt liek that was some sort of smoke screen. Honestly even in the beginning where Victor tried to transform Nikkis ays much about their relationship eversince. The sickness in the dynamic stems from the fact that Victor must never be wrong so when he's in the wrong his truth or comeuppance is never established it is just brushed over

Victor's best story ever in my opinion had to be when he was on Hope's farm. Nikki's best story I've seen was her drug addiction story in the early 90s. While I do think both Victor and Nikki shine together, I would like to see them shine more on their own. Victor's been able because he's had better track record of pairings than Nikki's had.

I really wish Sheila was causing a ruckus on the even more craptastic B&B. Yes believe it or not there are soaps that worse than Y&R's present state.

what the hell was the point of that dream state episode it was bad. Y&R is now slow turning into passions.

just because a couple worked years old doesn't mean it works now. nikki and victor now suck together the relationship is all about the control victor has over nikki. he can treat her like crap. abuses her emotionally and verbally and yet she still comes coming like a dog to him, its sick and degrading to women. instead of actually dealing with victor abuse the show just sweeps it under the rug and call it love. this gives out the wrong mesage to people who are dealing with abuse in real life or have survived it.

nikki shines when she is not around victor its just the current writers hate her and see her as a prop for victor.

I loved when nikki was hanging aroung with bobby in the club thats when nikki really shined. MTS and john enos had amazing chemisty together pity EB had to complain about it.

Frankly, we all should kiss what this show once was goodbye and stop wishing for what was..it is never coming back..LIKE EVER, POOF GONE!!! :lol: And certainly not with this current writing regime.

Now back to the show Phyllis will never be the old Phyllis again, the character has been written differently for some time now and as a Phyllis fan I love it that way. I like that they can mix it up with the character whenever they bloody well feel like doing it. And not some past pre-conceived notion of what Phyllis should be like at this stage. Frankly I am enjoying and am very much amused at the reactions from those who politely refer to Grambo & Giggly Heffa :rolleyes:....I expect to see more of it. :P;)

I have always loved Victor/Nikki together, not entirely because of the way they were written (even though their relationship is dynsfunctional)but because EB & MTS had such wonderful chemistry that no matter if their characters were separated I always wanted them back together..but this time it is as if the life has been sucked out of them..it's so hard to watch them now...oh wait, Nikki is never on anymore. :(

I love Victor (more than I like EB :lol: ) and I am happy he is back...but the writing is so AWRY that I don't feel the normal energy that I usually feel when I watch the character. But since I am happy he's back and he's p#@ssing everybody off, I will suck it up LOL!

      This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.

      @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

      I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

      Knots Landing

        I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer.

      I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.

      I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.

      Yassss....come on Maurice and Brandon...give us nothing!!! Wow, their need to develop their craft shone like a blinding light this episode. Brandon in his Martin and Smitty scenes sounded like he was reading and the facial expressions were giving Disney Channel. He did much better against Maurice in the Martin v Ted scenes. Now, Teddd-dyy (Dana's voice) was just flat. I watched the episode just now after reading the comment on here that Maurice needs to stop swaying, and now I can't unsee it. Has it really been this bad all along?  Ambyr carries. I don't need to say anymore. I am kind of excited to see this Kat/Tomas/Eva stuff play out.  Bill is such a dick to Dani. Like that's the mother of your children that you cheated on with your daughter's best friend but you look to take those low blows. Lord! When he said that thing about it being obvious he didn't care about Dani anymore since he was the one that walked out...that was cold. I even felt for Dani. Bill definitely is all over the spectrum. You can see a villain possibly surfacing, but you also see this great father. The elder Duprees move a little funny. I'm wondering what that is all about. Are they just overly protective matriarch and patriarch because they think it's what's best for their family, or are they afraid their secrets will come out or there's something more sinister there. Why would Vernon want to keep that information from Martin?  I hope something interesting comes out of this June stuff, but as of right now, I'm not too invested. It's not helping my interest on Naomi or Jacob either. However, tge actress playing Naomi has comes a long way from day one.
