Would anyone know the air dates for Traci vs Lauren cat fights in 1983 & 1984?

So you have any in mind? I don't think that was their type of relationship. I think the banana split incident was 7/1/83 but it's only a short clip. But usually it was Lauren saying terrible things and taunting Traci with food.

Anyone know J. Eddie Peck's first airdate as Cole? I'm seeing April 2, but different places say 1992 and 1993.

It's 1993.

IIRC, the plot - and that's what it was, too, a plot, one that was in no way driven by character, lol - occurred during the '81 WGA strike.  Edward was some obsessed fan of Nikki's who, at one point, kidnapped her and brought her home to meet his "mother."  As soon as the strike was over, though, and the writers returned to work, the whole story was wrapped up and then forgotten.

Nikki & Crazy Edward (1981)  

can anyone share some info about this psycho storyline? 

https://x.com/MarcoMcinroy/status/1727463091011784969?s=20

 

 

Edward was a neighbor of Nikki and Casey's. He started out stalking Casey and sending her gifts. It was a mystery who it was. At one point she thought it was Cash (Kay's lover, who worked at the Bayou) and Greg Foster was getting mysterious headaches that implied it could be him. He escalates to phone calls and one day Nikki picks up and lets him have it. He sends Casey tickets to a concert and Nikki goes in his place (though he does not reveal himself). Casey leaves town and eventually he transfers his attention to Nikki.

 

The stalker has an incel vibe (before that was a thing). There's a scene where he sneaks into the house while she's in the shower and starts touching her undergarments. He also cuts up one of her stripper costumes. Edward manages to be around all the time to "help." He doesn't like all the men that come to Nikki's house all the time (Cash, Jonas, Paul, Andy, etc). Jonas gets shot and Andy gets poisoned. Edward also sets a trap so Nikki will sprain her ankle and can't dance anymore. 

 

Nikki is supposed to go on a trip when Edward invites her for a picnic. He proposes to her and gets angry when she laughs at him. She runs away into the woods and chases her around to a cabin and she also finds a group of guys in the woods but they're high and can't help her (wish we could see these scenes to see if they were on location). Edward wants to kill her and she stalls by asking to meet his mother that he's always talking about. Nikki realizes when she gets there he has a tape recorder making the calls and he was the stalker. He brings her to meet "mother" which is the scene you have there. At that point Carl, Paul and the gang have figured it out but Edward has set up dynamite, he intends to "purify" and kill Nikki and himself. He tells Nikki she's trash and needs to apologize to "mother" but she grabs the urn, throws the ashes in his eyes, and runs outside where Paul is waiting. Then Edward runs out and blows himself up.

 

A few days later, Cash encourages her to come back to the Bayou, Douglas Austin invites Victor to see her, and the rest, as they say, is history!

That would be a scene worth seeing. I can picture a frantic Nikki trying to get through to those guys.

I can imagine the stoned guys dialogue-

"Man, that crazy chick is freaking me out. She's really sending out some bad karma"

"Hey pretty lady, you need to catch some cool vibes' etc

Ah!  I knew there was more to that insane story than what I remembered!  Thanks, @BoldRestless!

I can see why Bill Bell moved the hell on from that story.  Even for a show like Y&R, which could be creepy and gothic on occasion, that story in particular feels more exploitative than your lowest budget slasher movie.

"I smell pizza.  Does anyone else smell pizza?"

"Dude, you are SO high!"

"...Wut?"

I believe it was more along the lines of, "Looks like you're a lady with something pretty heavy going on.  Pass me some more of that stuff, Tim."  lol

[I don't recall it being a remote sequence.]
