Entering March 2015..

February 2015 sweeps were epic. The snowstorm… The Cabin Murder drama kicked off, The underground collision, Plane crash and so many revelations and action. Loved it

What really surprised me that Steve Burton was able to pull off emotional scenes. Makes me kinda hate his cold stone persona on GH. I love Steve and he belongs to GH but damn. He was so good in acting and being involved in this show. Makes me wish him back tbh.

I miss Neil so much.. I watched mid March to August or so back then and I forgot about Neil and Nikki hitting Christine with the car and kinda killing her baby. Damn and that after Neil just learned about Devon and Hillary, got his eyesight back and survived a plane crash. The hell? Lol 

But Victor always shown as this untouchable and immortal boss kinda gets on my nerves. Makes me wish Neil and Nikki would’ve hooked up or a Nikki and Paul reunion. Niktor is a terrible endgame but I get it and I did like them from time to time. 
 

I kinda forgot who the cabin killer was. And wasn’t 2015 when there was a Jack imposter story ? My memory is hazy and I wanted to watch classic Y&R and 2015 seemed so exciting and I wasn’t wrong.

Thanks. Can’t wait to see it play it out. Is wear I can’t remember Mark Harding even though it just happened 9 years ago lol

The actor who played Kyle here in those episodes wasn’t as bad as I thought back then and as people made him out to be tbh. This cabin murder mystery story gives me such a pretty little liars vibes lol

Great find! But it does make me sad... Nikki should never ever be on the Crimson Lights set... she is a "Lady of the Manor". Such a decline in quality by July '95... end of an era... thinking back to the glory days of previous Julys like '93, '92, '91, etc..

Lol I love how glammed up she is compared to all the “kids”.  I wonder when CL became not just a spot for all the teens on the show. Now of course people go there for business meetings and to meet with their lawyers because the show doesn’t have a budget…

Mid-1990s Nikki was so snooty lady of the manor and she needed to be knocked down a peg or two by being reminded that she was the OG ho turned housewife.

I consider 1983-1998 Y&R's thriving years, but there were two low points in that time: Cricket eating the show second half of 1986 until end of 1989, and going off-track second half of 1994 through first half of 1997.

The off-track era was marked by Summer 1994 frat party, Nick/Sharon eating the show Fall 1994-Spring 1996, and the lull Fall 1996 through first half of 1997. It overlaps w/ the aftermath of OJ and time slot rival Reilly Days blowing up. As we all know, Y&R nearly lost #1 in Summer 1997 to Reilly Days.

I reached april 2015 and Gabriel/Adam and Chelsea hooked up. This pairing and Muhney‘s Adam were the best pairings for Chelsea!

This version of Billy kinda grew on me and he wasn’t as bad as people said back then just like that version of Kyle here in 2015! 

Oh no. Peter playing double duty as Marco hired by Victor impersonating Jack and then Jack being kept prisoner by Kelly. This felt a bit too outlandish for Y&R. Like seriously. Y&R felt never in need for stunts like GH, Days etc. and this whole story felt nothing like Y&R

I love my soap villains but I don’t remember how Victor got out of this mess and I can’t believe he actually got away with it. They really pushed my limits here with the immortal and most powerful Victor Newman. 
But it was nice seeing John for two cameos again. I wonder what the writers would’ve done with John if they didn’t killed him off? Would John be Victor‘s target? Would John be the loser in that war or still Jack? I do enjoy Peter’s acting as Marco coz he felt like the 80‘s Jack with some spunk. I enjoyed how Victor was annoyed and angry when Marco went off the plan a few times. 

Stitch-Victorias pairing felt so dull.. Abby-Stitch on the other hand are cute.

Sharon is the suspect in Austin’s and Courtney’s murders! I really love how Dylan is fighting for her. This pairing is the only one I would accept as endgame if Shick won’t be it. Sage would’ve been the endgame for Nick I would be ok with if it won’t be shick at the end of the soap in 100 years lol

Avery/Dylan were cute too but the Joe plot ruined it. It’s weird how much chemistry Steve Burton has with the lady’s while he seems to struggle a bit on GH with some of them. Interesting. Shame he didn’t stick around longer.

Courtney’s murder broke my heart. Best pairing for Noah. I miss this Noah. The current one is OK but this one here was the best Noah.

Hillary-Devon‘s story is so annoying. Hillary is the only reason this pairing worked for the audience. I really don’t like Devon and never have. That they write more story’s for Devon than for Jill or some other vets is a disgrace. But I enjoyed that Hillary helped Neil out at court and that he got off freely. That whole story of Nikki-Neil and that accident with Cricket was strongly written but then dropped so quickly. Still a good little story. How many times did Christine actually got hit by a car? Lol

Early 2000’s once Nick and Sharon bought the place although even then it was a mix of the Glow crew (and of course the trio of Sierra, Lily, and Colleen) and outlier characters like Michael, Lauren, Paul, Christine etc. it usually stayed that way until the MAB era who of course had Jill, Nikki, and Katherine going there.

    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/
    • (video, sound up) https://www.instagram.com/p/DIopBYDOGwy/ April 19, 2025 theonlydaphneeduplaix I’m not a fan of running. I’m not a fan of biking. So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
    • You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.
    • 1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.
    • @xtr I loved Martin in Thursday's episode, he was almost a different character. I thought he was flirty, funny, carefree, and giggly. Glad I have someone to share my top 2 women(Nicole and Eva) with, I agree Nicole is the heart of the Dupree family, and also the heart of the show IMO. We rode into the show on the passenger side of her car, lol. What I am enjoying the most about the show, is that they did such a great job character building, because all I care about is the CHARACTER journey. Nicole, Eva, Leslie, Dani, Chelsea, etc. very invested in what's coming next. I even feel that way about Mona, Shanice, and Doug.  
    • I know we have discussed the fact that Another World seemed to be planning a location shoot in Finland that got cancelled. I came across this item from the syndicated Soapbox column published June 14, 1982. "Soap operas have been experimenting extensively with on-location shooting in recent years to enhance storylines and increase their viewing audience. A major drawback is the added production costs involved. Another World, for example, cancelled a special trip for Victoria Wyndham (Rachel Cory on the show), who was scheduled to shoot scenes in Finland. The producers felt that the high price tag, along with resentment of the cast members who also wanted to travel but were to be left behind. was enough to scrap the whole project."  
    • A few more thoughts about these last two episodes. I thought it was interesting how much disdain both Dani/Anita have for Eva. I thought it was amusing how Dani was calling her lying/conniving and how Anita pointed as if to say, "that part". They definitely are not here for her, and I could see them having harsh confrontations with her in addition to Leslie. I'm curious to see Kat's interaction with Eva on Monday's episode. I think it might be interesting if Kat (along with possibly Naomi/Chelsea) come around to Eva before Dani/Anita do. Of course, Kat will be understandably angry at her. But maybe a tiny part of her might feel sorry for her if she really does believe that she's Ted's daughter as well and that Leslie lied to her. I could see Kat confronting Eva again and warning her not to harm her family anymore. But I could also possibly see Kat admitting that what Ted/Leslie did regarding her was messed up as well. And maybe that will pave the way down the line for them to get along better. I also agree with the comments/speculation made in the threat that Nicole will eventually accept/probably love her someday as well. I still wouldn't mind if somehow Nicole ended up being her biological mother. They have both been acting like they care for each other in this storyline. Nicole somehow ending up being her mother would be soapy and provide some more interesting layers in this story. And regarding Andre/Dani's romance it seems like they are genuinely developing feelings for each other. I have missed episodes, so maybe more of this has been elaborated on. But it seemed like there was genuine affection between both of them when they snuck a kiss publicly in the hotel. And also, them both talking about going publicly with their relationship. I wonder what everyone's reactions will be should they be caught by someone together. Of if they flat out tell everyone about their relationship.
