So was exactly is living on Heinle's head? And why is Branson smirking like Billy Miller?

Not quite. When Nikki was married to Wings Hauser's Greg Foster, Rose was the head of the prostitution ring that Nikki got mixed up with on account of her and Greg being flat broke. I don't know all the details, but...one of Nikki's johns was murdered in some cheap motel room; Nikki was accused of the murder; Rose skipped town (before showing up again to take Nina's baby); and Greg, an attorney, divorced Nikki because of the scandal and her "double life."

Thanks. I assume that was all in 1979, the same year Nick Reed was killed. Did Nikki ever cross paths again with Rose in 1986? Or was she too busy pretending to be dying at the time?

79 & 80.

1. A swiffer.

2. He's a smug ass on a show run by proud misogynists.

Either Chance cheats or he'll go visit the lake. Choose youe weapon wisely.

Or go completely insane.

Or go completely insane.

That option is reserved for Y&R's writing staff.

Rose was first on in 79 as a part of a teen runaway story involving Chris & Snapper. There was a teen named Sharon involved and Rose ran a shop called 'Rose's Pretty Things' (or something like that).

I think that this time and in the Nikki story,her sidekick Vince (played by Alex Rebar) was involved,but i don't remember if he was there for the baby stealing story.

Incidentally,around this time Aretha franklin expressed an interest in being on the show.Bill Bell wanted her as a mother of a pregnant teen,but she wanted to be involved in Jabot(more glamorous) and nothing came of it.

He was.

I also enjoyed seeing the flashbacks with Darlene Conley as Rose Deville! I believe those scenes were from about 1986, or 1987. I have also wondered if Nikki and Nina even know that the other have both crossed paths with her.

Dang Sally Spectra , Rose was a hardcore bitch. Daytime needs someone like her bc she looked like such a nasty piece of work

Nina has a son out there that she doesnt know? I always thought that baby was Chance. Why the heck would they leave that thought unresolved all these years without her doing somethign about it or is MAB rewriting history? Has Nina been searching for her kid in the 90s?

Yep.

Nope.

Chance's dad is Middle Phillip (Phillip 3rd).

It's not a retcon.

It's just the way Bill Bell handled certain stories.

Has Nina been searching for her kid in the 90s?

She searched when she & Cricket were younger then gave up.

Here we go, a brief glimpse of Rose and Nikki in 1979:

Exactly, Nina's long lost son was one of those loose ends revisited from time to time but were better left untold.

Next I suppose we'll see a certain red-head be forced to confess to some erratic driving she did in the '90s.

Chris will thank Phyllis for running her over.

Not only that, but it will be used as the excuse for Nick to run back to Sharon. You know, like that James&Taylor reveal on B&B.

That or Ashley's Paternity.

I can see them doing that for some kind of Billy/Abby forbidden love...

Who's Nina's baby daddy and was the baby older than Chance or younger?
