1993 Episode: Nina was a little ho back then! Making the moves on Ryan while Victoria is away. I had no idea Nina was like that lol. Victoria and Jack had a nice relationship though. I'm guessing the 'baby' they are talking about with Nikki is the one that died?

Christine was annoying as !@#$%^&*] even in those days. 

Jill trying to get John drunk so he could get her pregnant was such a hoot to watch!! Damn Katherine sure loved to meddle in Jill's life lol. I'm guessing that this must have been around the time that John and Jill got pregnant with Billy?

How creepy was that scene of Sheila arriving at Lauren's door? Jesus Christ. I found it so dumb that Lauren couldn't tell it was Sheila on the phone though LOL! She couldn't even tell it was her when she was standing right there until she revealed her face.

Once again thanks for these episodes!!

Your welcome!! :)

I always liked Nina better before she was even in Ryan/Victoria's orbit.....she became so desperate just to please him (much like Steffy on B&B today with Liam IMO) while he constantly played her and Victoria.....I'm glad over the years they matured (something that doesn't happen anymore on this show sadly) but it's still a shame Ryan died....I could never see Scott Reeves fit in on the current canvas of Y&R for some reason though....Chuck Pratt would just make him Ryan's evil twin obsessed over Victoria....

Jill is always a lot of fun in these shows which is why sadly the more Jess Walton stays away the better.....Jill must have met Sheila at some point to do the same martini thing she did with John.....(minus the drug of course LOL) but yes this is when Jill gets pregnant with Billy though at first it seems like it didn't work cause John had gotten a vasectomy the next day, but luckily Jill got pregnant before he got it done...I have the July 5,1993 show to post soon that has the annual Abbot July 4th Pool Party where Jill goes into labor after she gets into a fight with Kay...LOL so fun to watch....

everything about these Sheila scenes is always a sad reminder how Y&R and any soap just doesn't do villains like this anymore....those confrontation scenes with Lauren and Sheila are very powerful (even if I agree it's stupid Lauren didn't recognize the voice, LOL) we will never get scenes like that again!

It's been years all I can say......even someone like Tom Fisher is probably better then most of them today (and he kind of is by watching your 05 episodes) 

What's been missing, and probably will never resurface is the amount of psychological tension and build up each of Y&R's villains bought....we followed them all through their journey to madness and watch them reach their breaking points (David and shooting Danny, Cricket and Nina at the ball, Sheila holding Lauren hostage, and Michael breaking through the wall) while enjoying all the beats made in the process of their stories ....

This is the issue I'm having with our latest villain, Dr. Anderson. I want to see more of this character, I want to see her and her life outside of Fairview, I'd like to see how she operates when she's not plotting Nick's downfall, I'd like to see her associating with the rest of GC, just so she's not so one-dimensional. I'm loving the actress in the role and she looks like she's doing the best with what she has, but they can do so much better than this if they tried. The whole foundation of her character is based on the most tragic of circumstances, she doesn't have to be an unsympathetic psychopath just for the sake of it. Then again, I've heard CP thinks otherwise?

multi-dimensional villains are a thing in the past, which is why I'm sure by Feb Sweeps Dr.Sandy will be carted to the loony bin while Victor does his horrible smirking, cause you know he will get in this mess somehow and be the one to expose her (while at the same time doing horrible things any normal person would wind up in prison for)

For years there was speculation that Billy was Victor's child and not John Abbott's. The Jill/Victor affair took place around October/November 1992. Jill learned she was pregnant in March 1993. Billy was born on-screen in July 1993 and he was not premature.

Just from the math I can see why the possibility of Victor being Billy's father was out there. Given storylines over the last 6 years, thankfully that didn't happen.

    • Not hugely surprising, but still another awful blow for GH and soap history in general. Denise was a pioneer on several shows. Others have said everything far more eloquently than me, so I'm just echoing them here. I do wish more of her DAYS work was available - I always wanted to see them honor her again - but I am glad so much of her GH run is.
    • RIP Denise!!

        I’m sadly not as familiar with her work as most on here are, but I always hate seeing another icon leave us! 
    • I'm thinking he's much older than the age he's playing and botoxed the hell out if his face - that's why it doesn't move. Source: I saw him in a 2012 episode of CSI. Not only was he already in his 20s, but his face moved back then.
    • I didn’t even think of that OMG Tomas not even pretty enough to make taking his “acting” palpable. And his two potential love interests are played by these genuinely charismatic actresses

      . I think Martin’s flying off the handle so much is intentional and plays into the secret. The family seems to know theres some rage issues there.
    • I see a pattern here.

    • I liked when Felicia was over the top and was more Felicia the writer than Felicia the mother figure. Personal taste as always. For me, Felicia was AW to me. She was one of the few constants on a show that was constantly changing.  RIP Denise Alexander. I always liked her on the show despite her storyline never reaching its full potential. The sad thing is I would watch that storyline in a second over so much of what happened on AW from 1986 onwards. Strangely, youtube recommended a AW episode to me last night that involved Mary comforting Scott about Dawn. I really do wish they had found a way to make those two characters work long term.

    • Yes, I like him too. He is a good actor, and I agree with your comments about his personality. I also want to add, I think that he comes across as realistic and IMO sane. Yeah, he's done some bad things, but he seems pretty in control for the most part and not the least bit crazy. I appreciate that type of behavior in someone who can behave like a villain. And I continue to buy that he really does love his daughters. Unlike Leslie who seems to only use and mistreat Eva, I have seen Bill soften when it comes to his daughters. And I do believe he would do what he felt he had to do to protect them. His love for his children, helps make him more layered as a character. I really enjoyed his scenes with Dani today. I enjoyed the show today. I thought that the scenes with Nicole being comforted by both her parents including them switching out to comfort her were sweet and cute. I particularly enjoyed her scenes with Vernon. I love her relationship with her parents. I also liked Tomas/Eva scenes. He genuinely seems to care about her, and I am interested in seeing how things will play out between them and him and Kat.
    • Dani really got on my nerves. Her own life is a total disaster, yet she interferes with everyone else's. What could she possibly say to Ted that will change anything? That will help anyone? And as you said, while she bashes Bill, she wants him back -- all the while knowing who he is and who he's been for years. None of these scenes are pushing me to appreciate Dani. -- OTOH, Bill got some very good shots in at Dani. He won that face-off. -- June is just a ball of cliches and stereotypes to this point. I hope this goes somewhere. -- Martin flies off the handle much too easily, but I did appreciate that he grew calm and subdued, and even sad, with Ted. -- I'm glad Tomas is pretty, because damn, that acting. -- I'm glad Derek looks so good in tight jeans, because damn, that acting. -- LMAO at Leslie gaining entrance to Nicole's house because Nicole wanted the front door ajar so Door Dash could leave her takeout.
