I haven't watched in years, but back when I watched, I could not say she was a bad actress. She just wasn't Victoria Newman to me. Especially when she first started, it was such a big contrast to what Heather Tom was doing as Victoria. And even few years later, I could not accept Amelia, because she was just so much different than Heather's Victoria. 

Otherwise, I found Amelia to be okay, the little that I saw on The City.

MTS makes it seem like Victor and Nikki were an accident pairing that became unexpectedly popular, and I laugh at how she puts supercouple in air quotes. Also from the way MTS is talking its as though Bill Bell saw a connection between EB/MTS before EB/MTS themselves even did.

There are times when I do suspect Bill Bell never intended for Victor and Nikki to go beyond the "My Fair Lady" stuff.  It's just that...well...somehow, it just took off.

The soap was huge in the 1990s, and obviously still is. Daytime still made the butter that primetime toasted its bread with until maybe the latter part of the decade. I remember watching Y&R in primetime and I think it was this episode but I can't remember what happened. I think it was on a Tuesday at 8:00 p.m., well before NCIS locked that slot down before eventually moving to Mondays this season.

Per IMDB

This show was a Primetime episode. Victoria calls Cole. Victor arrives at the ranch. He wants to talk to his daughter. Jack and Hope discuss Victor and Victoria's relationship. Hope wants to go to the ranch and talk to Victoria. Nathan has vanished with little Nate. Thanks to Lynne, Neil gets Nayhan's address. He goes to Nathan's place, soon followed by Olivia and Drucilla. Nathan is adamant; he wants little Nate to stay with him. Olivia collapses. Robert calls Heather, tells her that April doesn't want him to see her and asks her if there a way for her to meet him out of school. Heather says she'll find a way. April wants to leave Paul's apartment. Paul calls Chris. He would like her to come and tell April that going back to New-York would be the biggest mistake of her life.

    • I hate it too but people casualy posting it so openly is dumb as hell. Especially when it’s known that they are hunting them down. 
    • Wasn't Taylor Miller still playing Nina during the period that Devon was on the show? She was also written out around the time Julia Barr left and Brooke was recast. I wonder if they brought her back because being the doomed non-Nina love interest to Cliff was something they didn't want to give to a woman they cared about, and they didn't want to create yet another Kennicott relation. Then having her for the Lynn Carson story also made sense because if there was intense viewer backlash, she could easily be written out.
    • I also like how they've set up all the pieces where they could do yet another "shocking Gio parentage reveal" in another year or so if they want to. Because it's not at all implausible that teenage BLQ would have sexually experimented with both Dante and Cody. So if they want another violin-smashing moment next year, just have Gio find out that Cody is his real bio-dad.
    • I agree, also am able to see various points of view. Lulu, Lois & I think the two of them are going to rival one another for the heat they are going to take. 
    • When you think about it, someone who stayed on for as long as Devon must have some fans out there. She also had an alcohol issue. I saw a host of episodes with her and Cliff on YouTube. I wanna say that’s who Cliff was entertaining while Nina had the affair with Steve.  Do you believe she lasted so long because Brooke left and they kept recasting Nina?

    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  It shows you just what a unique and memorable performer Denise Alexander was that I can see her in these moments and hear her even though I've never watched any of the material. On paper it probably wasn't up to much, but I do wish I could see her playing it. Meanwhile, the Diana material continues to seem like one plate of ass after another...I was thinking she had finally been able to move on with the therapy breakthrough, but then we're right back with her believing Peter and Leslie are having an affair. I don't know how much further off the material is that made Valerie Starrett leave, but I can't blame her.  I see less and less of Jessie anywhere in this - is this when Emily's health troubles were starting to phase her out of story? Going a few summaries back, writing out Lee, Caroline, her son and his wife seems so rushed. It's a shame Marland, or whoever, killed off all of them (aside from Lee), as they might have given Lee some story down the line. Or maybe the daughter-in-law survived too - I can't remember.
    • Thanks!  I compiled the list and posted it for the 59th anniversary in November, but just made the updates now for the couple of new cast members we've had since then! Didn't realize until I did the update that Peyton is the first-ever contract actor born in Nevada, so that's another state off the 0 list!
    • What I love about this story is that I can empathize with both Lulu's point of view AND Lois's point of view. I can understand why Lulu thinks it's important for the truth to come out and why she feels a moral obligation to let Dante know he has a son. But these good intentions have gotten all mixed up with her hatred for BLQ, and so she's going about it like a self-righteous bully who hasn't thought through all the consequences of this reveal. And I can understand Lois's thought process keeping this secret. She couldn't bear to give her grandson away to strangers, and so she arranged an adoption that kept him in the family. From her perspective, it's worked out beautifully because as Gio grew up as a "Palmieri cousin", he got to know his father Dante, his mother Brook Lynn, and his grandfather Sonny. She just had the hubris to believe that she could play God and keep the secret forever.  Maybe it's just getting to see Cynthia Watros and Laura Wright in full-on catfight mode a few days ago, but the show is starting to remind me of Guiding Light in its heyday, where most of the drama comes from the interactions of long-running characters who are likeable in some ways but have enough fatal flaws that they create their own problems. That's a sharp contrast for the way GH has generally been written since the JFP era, where most of the drama comes from external threats: supervillians, Sweeps month disasters, the mob shootout of the week. 
    • Wow, @JAS0N47, that list of states was impressive! And I never knew that James Read hailed from near me! (I was born and raised in a nearby city, about 15 minutes away!) (Liked him since he played Murphy Michaels on Remington Steele when I was a kid. As an older kid, I also loved him on North and South!)
