Yes! It will be a surprise to many viewers as he was pretty much a villain his first year.

I think when they constructed the Athletic Club set, they pretty much just took what they wanted from the Gina's set, the Embers set, and the Top of the Tower set, added some new things, and called it a day. I've looked for some vestige of the Colonnade Room in the Athletic Club but can't find any. (Maybe Chancellor Park is built out of pieces of the Colonnade Room??)

Is that why Top of the Tower returned looking like upright popsicles during JFP’s first run? It looked so cheap!

It must be surprisingly a “cheaper” set to use since they basically shut it down for a few years and bought it back (over the colonnade room sadly) for the 50th anniversary.

There was also "Top of the Towers" at the top of Newman Towers, seen often in the early 90s. Leanna memorably sang on top of a piano there. I wonder when that set was last used.

Wasn't Eric's 40th anni set at TOTT? So 2020. That dumb story where some insignificant stalker mistook Victoria for Amanda and stabbed her among Noah's photo tribute to TGVN.

That party a few years ago when Ashley yelled at Graham for taking advantage of Dina, and then Dina announced to the entire crowd that Ashley is Brent Davis's daughter --- wasn't that one also at the "new" Top of the Tower?

Yes, haha. “Good times” 😂

To think: so many Y&R sets have come and gone in such a relatively short period of time...yet, like the heartbreak of psoriasis, Crimson Lights persists.

Same. I would really love to see Victor's beginnings on the show.

The dinner scenes with Victor,Leanna,Nikki and Douglas are great. Also this episode has the Nina "worn out tramp" comment said by Jill that was deleted off of youtube a long time ago.

Does anyone have the Nina "worn out tramp" scene they can share?

First time I remember seeing him --- and I believe it was his VERY first scene on the show --- was in February 1980 when he was hovering over Brock's desk like a vampire. Brock (foolishly) thought he had an open-and-shut case as the public defender of a teenage girl (Cathy Bruder) who had stolen a Rolls-Royce and gone joy riding. Brock's plan was to meet with the car's owner and convince him to prosecute Cathy Bruder as a juvenile rather than as an adult, which meant she'd get community service and nothing permanent on her criminal record. The owner of the car burst into Brock's office, and he was insistent he wanted to charge the girl as an adult; he was VERY spooky. While Victor's hardline position on the matter seemed a bit far-fetched and frivolous, Eric Braeden played the scenes quietly and formidably, and you could tell immediately that Brock was WAY in over his head with the guy.

I remember instantly becoming interested in where the stolen car storyline was heading, even though on the surface it seemed like a "throwaway" story. It was because Eric Braeden immediately brought such formidable intensity and gravity into his (short-term) role as the owner of the car.
