Y&R: Old Articles

LOL!!

Didn't she also get plastic surgery? I can't remember.

[Planet Soap]

I believe she did.

 

That was perhaps my favorite Y&R storyline of the late 90s. Nikki looking so pale and lifeless in hospital scenes was so grim, serious, and realistic. Soaps couldn't pull off something so unsettling like that today effectively.

 

The best part was that it lead to vilianess Diane which fueled years of animosity between Nikki and Diane, and later Diane vs. Phyliss which was gold! The biggest joke had to be Victor and Nikki "remarrying" after 10 years only for Nikki to sleep with Brad (lol, who didnt Brad sleep with) the next year.

She was hit by a car if I remember correctly. 

[Planet Soap]

Yeah, confirmed it:

However, Veronica was pregnant at the time with Josh's son, and the car accident caused her to go into premature labor.  Veronica entrusted her newborn child to a close girlfriend, who raised him after Josh and Veronica were killed.

 

Now, all these years later, their son, who I'm calling "Jared" (it's a pseudonym), has arrived in GC, seeking to avenge the deaths of the parents he believes he was denied the chance to know.  (Cole Howard, who once worked on a book about the murders, attempts to warn Nikki and Victor about Jared's arrival.  However, he dies (offscreen) under mysterious circumstances, with the implication that Jared is responsible.)

 

At least, that's the story I'd want to tell.

That sounds more realistic than when Dylan was crammed down viewers throats as Nikki and Paul's cult baby.

Dylan could have worked as Paul's child from the cult as it was established he had sex with other cult members.

 

How was Nikki's pregnancy explained when it never happened on air?

Does anyone have the following episodes with these scenes:

 

-Nathan confesses his love for Olivia to Dru and she has one of her infamous breakdowns (I know it was 1991 but I don't know the date)

-Dru and the infamous "bookcase" scene (March 1, 2005)

-Katherine and Jill stuck in a room after the masquerade ball explosion (April 6, 2010)

Here's April 6, 2010 @ltm1997

I had the bookcase scene, but not the whole episode. The quality isn't the best. Hope someone will have the whole ep!

 

Pt 1

 

 

Pt 2

Great clips. I'm confused though. I thought Lilly already learned of her paternity from eavesdropping on Dru and Phyllis, and confronted Dru here:

The clips with Dru, Malcolm and Christel Khalil's Lily took place first in 2005. In those clips we see them with a paternity test that says that Malcolm isn't Lily's father. But Phyllis was already suspicious and learned that there were two tests.

 

Jump forward a year or so to your clip. Here Davetta Sherwood's Lily has eavesdropped on Phyllis and Dru and learned that Malcolm was her father after all.

 

(Christel Khalil later returned to playing Lily later on in 2006)

Here are three images from script #828 of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS written by William J. Bell and Kay Alden. I acquired this script online many years ago and have since sold it. I wanted to share these brief script snippets in case they're of interest to anyone. I can't remember if I scanned the whole script, but I'll take a look this weekend.

Enjoy!

@Dion Got u! I found Davetta Sherwood to be much better than than Christel Khalil as Lilly. I felt annnoyed when CK started screaming at Malcom. Sherwood would have been a great replacement for Khalil since Lilly went to prison.

Well, now that CK is off-contract, Y&R would be wise to get Davetta to return as Lily.  IJS.
