Thanks for the clip. You'd almost think they were setting up a relationship but both have naturally flirty voices (when Nikki isn't being bitchy). 

I wonder if that was the interim writers from the strike starting to seep through as that type of interaction feels very alien from where Bell was taking Y&R by that point.

Nothing says “Happy 4th of July” like a long-lost soap son crashing the barbecue and exposing everyone's secrets.
Seriously though - we watched him die in that hospital room.
Bringing him back in 2009 was ridiculous… even by soap standards.

Nikki and Danny are introduced 7/6/81 and say hello to each other.

Later in Oct ‘84, Danny performs at Nikki’s charity ball. Don’t know if we saw this onscreen but it’s assumed that she recruited him to perform.

The 1988 date you’re referring to is 4/5/88. The writers apparently forgot that they met before, and Nikki and Danny act like it’s the first time.

Good question about Victor and Danny, don’t know if they ever interacted.

Phyllis told Victor on 02/25/04 that she was married Danny. This would seem to confirm they've never met or interacted before.

Wait, did Victor ever actually interact with Danny, Lauren, or even Tracy?

Victor interacted a lot with Lauren in the late 80s.  

Victor interacted with Traci on rare occasions.  I recently watched a spring '91 scene with Victor, Brad and Traci.

Danny is the one where we don't know if he and Victor ever directly interacted.

Honestly the only time I’ve Victor and Danny really talk to each other besides group events was Phyllis fake funeral from 2 years ago…

There is un-aired exclusive 2010 Christmas scene where Traci encourages Victor to spend more time with his family. Been trying to find it but it isn't available anywhere. I don't know if anyone on here might have saved it.

That's interesting. Would you know the air date on the 91' scene with Victor, Brad and Traci?

Do you know the air date on the first time Lauren & Victor meet?

3/28/88 Lauren calls Victor for the first time to discuss business, and they meet at Gina's on 3/29/88.  

The dialogue doesn't make it sound like the first time they met... they mention catching each other's eye (but not speaking) at the Dec '87 Candy Cane Ball. And then of course Lauren was at the '84 Niktor wedding.

So... still unclear if Victor and Lauren met and exchanged dialogue prior to 3/28/88

I remember a Victor/Traci scene where Victor told Traci he considers her the heart of the Abbott family. I think that was sometime in the last 5 years or so.

Well at least they didn't totally retcon their earlier interactions...other then Lauren was at the ranch for NYE 1984, though who knows how much they talked though.

I’m wondering if Victor paid his respects to Lauren fall ‘87 after Neil passed and she took over at Fenmore’s

good question? something to skim through with the Oct-Dec 87 German shows I think. I'd say no, unless it was offscreen. haha

04/25/91 is Victor, Traci & Brad scene.

I’m rewatching the ‘91 Masquerade Ball and realizing it’s the 10th anniversary of the ‘81 London Gala, and there’s many similarities. As each guest arrives, they are announced by the maitre d 

 

I’m eating up the small moments, like Douglas meeting Madame Chauvin… knowing that Michael Evans was on the show ‘80-82 when Melinda Cordell played quite an opposite character, Dorothy Stevens 😂

 

Who ever told Jeanne Cooper she has a good singing voice 👀

 

Wow is KSJ easy on the eyes as Dionysus 😍
