Nikki was lacking in both book smarts and street smarts.

Of all of Nikki's rivals, I think she was most threatened by Ashley and Christine. Ashley and Christine were both intelligent, educated, and had successful careers (Ashley in business, Christine in law) whereas Nikki hadn't really accomplished much in her life except for being Mrs. Victor Newman. There was also the element of class differences with Ashley (Nikki from a working class background, Ashley from a wealthy business-owning family) and age and attitude differences with Christine (Nikki older snooty lady of the manor, Christine younger and kind-hearted).

True! I loved her Playing A Bitch on GH even if it was only for 5 minutes lol Allegra Montenegro couldn't been a great substitute for Helena in her absent years!

They are in the vault though but you would have to look through September 1982 to mid 1983 to find them, it shouldn't be a sacrifice, that is a super interesting period for the show

I just remember Julia dropped by Nikki's house and Victor and Katherine are there. Katherine started getting catty towards Julia as she was leaving and they exchanged barbs. Julia commented to Victor that every time she was around him women wound up clawing at each other. The scene was on youtube before it was pulled. Not sure of the original airdate. 

I found this promo from 1980.

A couple years too late but I was going back through 2004 and realized that Esther’s Las Vegas marriage and financial loss shown back in Esther/Kate Linder’s 40th anniversary tribute actually occurred in March 2004 and not under MAB as I had misremembered. From the 3/22/04 recap:

Katherine goes to the athletic club and sits down at the bar. When the bartender asks her what it will be, she sighs and says that she would like a coffee. He tells her that is a good choice. As Katherine is telling the bartender that there is a man in her life that is trying to help her, a loud crash interrupts her speech. The bartender rolls his eyes and says they have a new bus person. When Katherine sees that it's Esther she comes to talk to her. Why is Esther bussing when she has all sorts of money saved? Esther tells Katherine that she met and wedded a guy who had gambled away all of her money. Katherine wants to know why she didn't come home. Esther doesn't want to get in the way of Katherine and Jill's relationship.

Y&R is currently broadcast in France and Belgium but I don't know of any other countries in Europe where it is currently broadcast. I know in the past it was broadcast in Germany, Italy, Switzerland.

If there would ever be a Y&R DVD collection release in Europe, I'd say it would most likely be in France.

Im through April and halfway through May 2015..

God. Justin Hartley was such a blessing for this show and the chemistry with Chelsea was so real.. shame current ones act like Chadam was unimportant lmao But this Billy Abbott was so likeable. I would’ve preferred him over the current one. The way he humiliated Chelsea at their wedding. So soapy. Loved it. And the way he fought against the newmans was peak.

Y&r had some storylines in the past that were „out there“ to put it nicely but this Victor and Marco/Jack storyline is the campiest stuff I’ve ever seen on Y&R. I expect stuff like this from like Days or GH.. Hell even from B&B.. But not From Y&R.

im 50/50 if I like it or not. I mean it gives my boy Peter B. so much screentime and the abbotts but it’s such camp lmao I can only imagine that Peter had such a field day and so much fun with it. BUt it for gave us John Abbott for a few episodes 

I love the irony that Adam pretends to be Gabriel while his closest friend he has is not even Jack but Marco pretending to be him. That’s hilarious.

Avery (the hottest babe this show had in years) and Dylan finally broke up and Sharon finall got rid of the murder charges against her. Even though this murder story with the teens felt like some pretty little liars from temu version it was still well paced tbh and Dylan and Sharon’s story too. 
 

I‘m a die hard Nick-Sharon Fan BUT Dylan is the only men I can accept and love with her. Steve Burton actually played his heart out on Y&R. Why on earth would he go back to GH to do literally nothing? And why didn’t he return to Y&R after 2021 and joined Days

    • Actually Kim Zimmer got six weeks off to test the waters for pilot season in L.A. - she said later she went on many auditions and got one offer for a sitcom, but she would one of many in an ensemble. She turned it down, because it wasn't worth leaving Guiding Light for a supporting role on a sitcom. 
    • I'm not even sure why Zoe would care, even if they know each other offcamera.  I can't see Jean going, but if she is - good riddance at this point.
    • I just found the commercial on YouTube, with several other GL'ers doing the same commercial - how fun!

        She did the same for me once Ghost Reva arrived (the anxiety and paranoia) - which is when the storyline for Rick/Annie started, with their Chicago past and her alcoholism. But before all that, when she was new and tending to Josh's broken leg, she was just normal, sweet and very cute/flirty. 
    • I have to admit Annie exhausted me somewhat before she went nuts. So much anxiety. She and Robert were OK I guess. Didn't ever stick out much one way or the other.
    • I meant to ask in the May thread, but hey...it's not like it won't come up...   ...has our opinions of Jessica changed at this point? I know we debated at one point if she was sincere in her feelings for Ty or if she was in on his bullying. Now that a little more time has passed, what do we think? 
    • Which is why I said...and continue to say mind you...that the designer is still trying to figure out what works for which character...highlight my points with particular characters. And as I also agree with you, too many misses. She has not found a clear, firm rhythm for me. Yet.   I also agree that BTG does a much better job. But I'll give credit where it's due. 
    • I watch many episodes from the Vault, a secret source here on SON, because the quality is much better than YouTube. But, it has commercials that I have to skip through, although even these commercials give me serious nostalgia vibes. All that said, there is a consistent 1996 commercial for Excedrin with Frank Beatty!  He talks right into the camera about his feelings, and it's like Brent Lawrence never left. I wonder if GL fans back in the day ever saw this and had feelings about it. 
    • Dukes of Hazzard had a good run when it moved to 8pm but even when that was failing ABC and NBC couldn't come up with a hit show to dominate  that timeslot. NBC sent The A Team, Knight Rider and Riptide there for their final seasons and CBS did the same with Scarecrow & Mrs King. Otherwise it was a barrage of new shows that never worked.
    • Agree. Much more miss than hit. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I thought clothing was supposed to be flattering. A lot of the Y&R women are seen in the tight solid color dresses ,often with cutouts/one shoulder. Now that may be a fashion but to have all of them in interchangeable dresses... Do the characters have a particular color pallette/style that is unique to them? BTG does a better job in that department. Some recent Y&R looks. I actually like the dress but we see that style too often.   Nikki's new look is not to my liking.
    • The first show I found had Maeve dressed horribly, and I just shook my head and thought she must've been thrilled to be portraying someone much more sophisticated and rich. Vanessa's hats and gloves probably cost more than her AW character's entire wardrobe.
