Nikki had crap for brains to even dictate to her. 

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).

After years of being Victor's punching bag/trophy wife, I wonder if Bell should have morphed Julia Newman into a bitch on wheels like Marland did with Barbara on ATWT ? Meg Bennett was a stunning woman and her raven looks could have played into that.  

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!

Air dates? Would those be in the vault?

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

IKatherine was also catty with Julia. Katherine told her she told Nikki to study her and her tactics. Julia replied " Well she didn't. She studied yours"....LOL

No luck finding Julia/Katherine scene in the vault. Any additional information that might help in finding it?

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.

 

 

Does anyone know the air date when Lily as a teen and Victor first interacted?

OMG. I so forgot that Sharon learned about Abby and lorded it over Pole Rider's head. Boy, rewatching this made my day as I enjoy where Sharon makes Nikki squirm. The tweet has multiple parts. Appears the poster is posting a few other vids regarding the story. 

 

Nikki realizes Sharon overheard that Victor is Abby's biological father (2003) 😲😱 #YR #YR51 #theyoungandtherestless #youngandtherestless pic.twitter.com/SPImogSWFv

To me it seemed Bill Bell was setting up Victor/Lorie as a high society/business power couple but then the Victor/Nikki My Fair Lady storyline took off, plus I think MTS real-life pregnancy and JLB departure shifted whatever Bill Bell had planned.

Not  to mention that Edward Scott and Melody Thomas happened.

Yes, but that wasn't until like 1983. MTS and Ed Scott went public as a couple in 1984 and married in 1985.

Hahaha. Dead at Pole Rider.

Does the vault have when Julia pleads with Lorie not to hurt Victor, if she doesn't want to marry him, and to give back the 12-karat engagement ring?

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.

Thanks!  I had forgotten all about that!

I also know that the interest for Restless in Europe is just... not at the level that will warrant a release, sadly.

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.

We'll see.

Watch fast before they're copyright stricken. New classic clips account is up.

Lauren vs Lynne

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
