Members Dion Posted May 30, 2020 Members Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) I'm pretty sure Olivia hadn't arrived yet (in fact wikipedia says her first airdate was on the 15th, exactly one week later). Edited May 30, 2020 by Dion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted May 30, 2020 Members Share Posted May 30, 2020 Olivia does arrive June 15, 1990 and Mamie introduces her to Ashley! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dion Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks! I was under the mistaken impression that Ashley and Olivia went to college together but come to think of it in later years they actually only ever referred to themselves as being sorority sisters. So they belonged to the same sorority but at different colleges and never met until Olivia's first episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 no problem Please register in order to view this content I maybe wrong, but I think it was a later retcon that Ashley and Olivia were indeed in College Together, unless that's a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 You weren't mistaken. Olivia and Ashley were indeed retconned in 1998 as having been in college together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dion Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Yes, a retcon is also possible, or somebody on the writing staff misremembering their sorority connection as them being at college together. ** I posted the top half before seeing the post by YRBB and the replies have merged** Aha! thanks. I think earlier my brain may have attempted to rationalize the discrepancy coz now that you have both said that they were retconned in the late 90s to have been in college together I am now back to remembering it that way again too lol Edited May 31, 2020 by Dion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks! I noticed Kay Alden seemed to like to retcon some of the character's connections prior to their time on the show...wasn't she the one that made John and Katherine old classmates, when someone once said John and Katherine didn't meet until he was about to marry Jill the first time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 Looking at the early development Y&R material and what would become the Brooks sisters. In 1972 when Bell was creating Y&R there was a TV movie of the week called " All My Darling Daughters". Robert Young played the father of 4 very different daughters who all wind up getting married on the same day. I wonder if Bell saw that film and a light bulb went off and the Brooks sisters were born ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thank you for sharing, as you always do. I saw some people on Twitter last week talking about how crazy and ridiculous Flo was. That was why I loved her though. Wherever she is now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 Your welcome! Please register in order to view this content Last week when they showed the David trash Compactor episode my mom commented on how OTT Flo's acting and crying was thinking Nina was dead...It kind of stung me because I thought Sharon Farrell was one of the best actresses on the show for the little they had her do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan1983 Posted June 1, 2020 Members Share Posted June 1, 2020 I agree... her acting was indeed very dramatic but the situation called for it. She realized her new husband was a psychopath, and thought her daughter had been murdered and that she was partially to blame. She was hysterical but that is to be expected. Holy cow - not only Nathan and Liv's wedding but Victoria's 16th birthday! And I'm sure more Sheila and Drunk Nikki. You are the BEST! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2020 That's just how Flo was anyway. Sharon always did a good job. It's another consequence of watching scattered episodes wildly out of order (although I'm glad they are being repeated at all). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted June 1, 2020 Members Share Posted June 1, 2020 I remember back when Nina and Philip were about to marry that Cricket had suggested inviting Nina's mom..and Nina vetoed that saying her.mom.kicked her out probably due to a man her mom was dating not liking Nina, etc. Bam 2 years later we met her mom. I liked that about Bell..he would drop a mention of something and follow up on it years later 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted June 1, 2020 Members Share Posted June 1, 2020 I didn't know that, that's a great detail they left in. I think as far as Nina's dad, that was always retconned a bit...I think When we first saw Nina she mentioned she ran away from BOTH parents, and then it was changed to it just being her mom a few years later...of course they never really delved into Nina's real father coming on, even though they teased Jed Sanders as a possible candidate before they dropped the story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
