Nikki was seen in sexy bathing suits (not a bikini, though) at least as late as 1998.

 

 

Yes! Alden wrote terrific material for Nina. She matured tremendously during her time, was re-positioned on the canvas in a way that made sense and was useful, overcame her insecurities, found professional success, and was about to embark on a huge story if it weren't for Cast's exit. God, how I wish she hadn't left!

 

 

In terms of Nina, especially from 1996 on, Alden's material for Nina (and a lot of others) WAS better than Bell's last years. That's not taking anything away from him, because he was a genius, and Alden is not on that level. But she came damn near close. 

 

 

I only recently realized Jess was up for an Emmy, in this instance, for Billy's near-death and could not believe she didn't win. For those few years, she was incomparable. 

 

 

At least we got to see Brad's (

While Jill didn't see (Mac would be dead), I still remember getting goosebumps as the camera slowly panned to reveal Jill was standing behind Mac -- I nearly screamed. It was terrific drama. Jill was in her darkly bitchy best.

Was that Doug or was it Steven Ford? I didn't think Paul was with Farren.

 

They did have an ass shot or partial with Paul when he was with Christine, and then some primetime nudity with Jack and Brad, but it never went anywhere.

Definitely DD. I can't remember who he was with because I was busy picking up my jaw off the ground! I was also a kid so late 80s Y&R is a bit of a blur.

 

Oooooooo Primetime Nudity! Before 2001 that was actually a thing, but I feel like we regressed since then. Nowdays, soap love scenes seem rushed and perfunctory.

Ah. That makes sense.

 

Yeah Janet Jackson's evil nipple in 2004 pretty much killed all that off. These days we mostly get CW-style generic abs and grunty faces rather than actual steam. Either that or HBO trying to show us how hot and wild rape is. As for soaps - they're so far behind the times that material from the '60s had more heat.

      I don't mind Dani in this mode, she fits best in a supporting role vs the main attraction. Dani being thrown into the Doug story just reeks of Reva Shayne in the late 90s/early 00s where she was involved in every storyline.  Nothing makes me hate a character more then when a writer/producer shoves a character down the viewers throats. There was a brief scene between Pamela/Doug/Vanessa where Vanessa was being Vanessa.. and Pamela was giving her a look that wasn't too friendly (not a look of dislike, more a look of someone that is looking down on someone else). I think the divorce/split between Jon and Cady was friendly/ not messy.

      Actually I think Ashley has OCPD, not OCD.  OCPD: Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder OCD: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Different diagnoses which unfortunately have similar names. OCPD: https://iocdf.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/OCPD-Fact-Sheet.pdf OCPD and OCD are often confused in general conversation, which is totally understandable, even though they are different. And it doesn't really matter here, since this is a fictional character... and the show is highlighting Ashley's obsession with controlling every aspect of things.

      Her voice reminds me somewhat of the late Carrie Donovan (best known for Old Navy commercials).. but she was big in the fashion world I believe.

      date: Monday, May 19 | Ron Carlivati, Danielle Paige | Shelley Curtis Dani and Pamela are a hoot together at the casino; they're really giving me "go girl, get yours" vibes! Katherine is totally on the warpath and is pushing every single male away. Dana is single-handedly selling her daughter out, with the unknown help of Katherine's secret recording. I like seeing both Andre and Ted giving Eva the kind of family she never had with Dana. Oh, is Dani catching onto things where Douglas is concerned? Interesting. Derek is a moron, and Ashley continues to give me a "type A" personality, with a lot of anal retentiveness/OCD. And ew, he's a trash eater. So gross. Oh, Diego, go get it! Why do I feel like Pamela vs. Vanessa is about to become a thing! But get IT, Pamela! Get IT! Not Dana thinking she knows the law when Jacob checked her immediately. Tomas is a smooth talker, and I love it. Hell, even I would fall for him easily. So, Tomas went into the Navy to put himself through law school. Quite interesting. What a nice backstory. The sexual innuendo between Joey and Vanessa while Douglas is listening on is hilarious. It's very obvious Pamela and Vanessa are not friends at all, and that's something I'd love to see play out at some point. Yes, Derek, she wants your ass out. I want your ass out. I'd be throwing you, your ugly-ass named chair and everything else OUT of MY apartment! So, Vanessa let the cat out of the bag. That's interesting timing, but Douglas is still lying to her. Notes: Again, both Jon Lindstrom (Joey) and Cady McClain (Pamela) are in scenes together yet did not directly interact. Kudos to them for showing up and putting the professional work in.
