Thanks! Good to know. I've seen them on POP before. Honestly, the only time I like Nadia's theme was during the period where they had some wind effect at the beginning of the credit that evolved into the theme. Oh, and I LOVE MM turning with eyes closed and opening them up.

I miss the ending credits. But if I watch the episode on demand provided by my local cable provider I get Nadia's theme with the closing credits. But I don't watch it that way because you can't ff the commercials.

I think the new titles look great, my issue being the same as with the last version... the superfluous background shot of each actor in essentially the same pose.  Switch it up a bit.  I would eliminate the rear live shots and have the actors preening in front of static charcoal headshots.

    • @Errol there seems to be a malfunction in quoting that started happening a week or two ago.  PersonA posts something.  PersonB quotes PersonA and replies.  Then PersonC tries to quote what PersonB had quoted, and the *result* is that the original thing that PersonA said, becomes quoted as if had been originally said by PersonB. For example - PaulRaven posted on prior page this  (Link to PaulRaven original post) Then I myself janea4old quoted PaulRaven and replied  (Link.to.janea4old.quote.of.Paul.Raven.and.reply) Then @j swift tried to cite my PaulRaven quote, But the result was that PaulRaven's words were attributed to me janea4old. That happened above (Link to misattribution) Screencap of the resulted misattribution of Paul's words to me:

      *** Sorry everyone, I don't want to derail this thread, just wanted to post what happened on the page where it happened so that Errol could see it in context. J_swift is not to blame.  My theory is that this is a messageboard technical glitch.  I've seen this happen several times with various posters on various threads over the past week or two.  Quoted quotes being misattributed, and it happens with experienced posters who usually don't err in this way.  So I think there's a technical glitch in nested quoting.  
    • This is Hayley's second mention of pregnancy in about as many months and it seems like she is trying to get pregnant to fully secure Bill. Her little weak read toward Chelsea was so off the mark because neither Chelsea or Naomi want Dani back with BIll, especially after the revelations of how he threatened Leslie. Anita and Tracy's talk ended up being productive after all. It seemed like she was just going to be Tracy out, but the idea of Tracy being the middle man to talk to Sharon is a great move. The constant mention of Dante Green makes me think he will show up at some point (Clifton Powell, Nathan Purdee, Darnell Williams are my list of preferred picks).

      @JAS0N47 Thanks again for all your hard work in bringing this part of daytime history to us.
    • Any doubts about Nikki's business prowess at running Chancellor were forever extinguished by the scene that played at the entrance to the GCAC where Claire detailed to Kyle  how her grandmother took down a cocky young exec over  a real estate deal. Hayley Erin dug deep to channel Nikki's savvy business persona while Micheal Mealor remembered that the the best acting is reacting, as he stood wide eyed and open mouthed taking in Nikki's handling of the situation. We can only imagine Melody Thomas Scott's commanding performance as Nikki took center stage in Lady Boss mode and how the newbie actor playing her scene partner rose to the challenge as sparkling dialogue ricocheted back and forth. And a special shout out to Y&R's set designers who we sure would have created an office set that reflected Nikki's elegance and good taste. To viewers  bothered by  Y&R's continued business focus, this scene that dealt with power dynamics, sexism in business and privilege put paid to that criticism once and for all.

    • @Paul Raven @ranger1rg Well the average age of Y&R viewer is almost 70yo so these references like the Cola Wars would resonate with the audience. To be fair - Audra and Kyle did talk about social media being the focus of the campaign.  I'd rather Audra and Kyle have clothes-less video go viral than to listen to outdated business concepts. As if, Audra could launch even one product without any hires, R&D, etc. Skip this nonsense and hit the sheets. 
    • 1976 Pt 3 Jenny has now left the order, but her recuperation  at the Craig home is hampered by pain and dizziness. Jenny admits to Larry it may be fear of her future that’s hampering her recovery, and she and Tim to put off the wedding. But suddenly she’s overcome by a presentiment of fear and anxiously tells Tim they must be married right away. They arrange a wedding for the following week and rent an apartment. Celebrating there with champagne, Jenny gently refuses Tim’s suggestion that they fulfill their love there by explaining that she wants to bring perfect love, without guilt, to their marriage, to give herself to him without guilt and as a gift of married love. But the following day, while she is making plans for the ceremony, Jenny’s world crashes as Vince, desperate to stop what he feels will be sacrilege, argues  with Tim, shouting again that God will seek revenge. Tim, at the top of the stair landing, turns to swing at Vinnie and falls the entire flight of stairs. Jenny insists that their marriage take place immediately upon his return to consciousness, and they are married in his hospital room. Tim’s condition worsens - shortly, and just before he’s to be taken to surgery, as he and Jenny talk about the love they share, he tells her, “If I don’t make it, you go on. I don’t want you sitting around grieving over me, because I love you too much. Live a good full life.” Jenny assures him they'll live that life together, telling him he must believe that. Tim replies, “Oh God, I want to,” and then he dies. Vince is going through hell, feeling that he killed Tim, and his pain only begins to be assuaged when Jenny compassionately and honestly tells him she doesn’t blame him and she’s sure God doesn’t either. Tim’s sister Julie flies from Florida for the funeral, then asks her mother if she wants her to stay, saying that they need each other. Ellen, however, tells, her  daughter she must go back to the new life she has made for herself; to delay would only make the goodbyes harder. Ellen offers Jenny some of Tim’s personal possessions, but Jenny gently declines, explaining  that Tim will always be with her and she doesn’t need his material things Viki was planning to tell Joe about the medical problem when news of Tim’s death came, and after the funeral Joe suggests that if the baby is a boy, they could name him Tim, and this Tim would live a long, full life. That decides Viki once and for all. She tells Larry she just won’t risk telling Joe after everything that has happened, and that’s final. Since her refusal of his marriage proposal, things have been strained between Tony and Cathy, and Pat, wanting to see Tony happy, pushes Cathy to make the first move—if not a phone call, then at least attendance at the opening of his club, Tony’s Place. The Opening is a great success, but Pat, hearing Tony sing “I’ve Been Alone Too Long,” remembers only that Tony sang that song to her so many years ago in Rio. Dorian manages to leave early with Victor by telling him she’s suffering a headache, and then tells Tony, when he calls the following morning, that their noticeably early departure was Victor’s decision, as he had business meetings the following day. When Tony follows up his call with a visit to his father, Dorian, who worked her way into her preferred position as lady of the house by treating Victor during his heart attack, turns Tony away, claiming that Victor has had too much stress lately and can’t hold up under a visit from Tony. Concerned, Tony leaves a note for his father, which Chapin, Victor’s butler, sees Dorian destroy. Dorian then instructs Chapin that Tony is not to be admitted to see Victor, and when Chapin replies that Victor has ordered that Tony’s visits and calls go through immediately, Dorian countermands those instructions, citing Victor’s health as the reason. When Victor asks Dorian to ease up on Chapin, as Viki has mentioned that Chapin is unhappy, Dorian makes it clear to the faithful retainer that unless he follows her orders explicitly, his years of service to the Lords will be over.  Dorian and Victor give a dinner in honor of successful enabling legislation licensing Peter Jansson to practice medicine, and Tony later learns from Jenny that Victor is fine. Realizing that Dorian stands between them, Tony races out to Llanfair to tell his father what he’s married to.  Tony confronts his father with Dorian’s schemes, concluding with the revelation that Dorian and her accomplice Matt McAllister knew Tony was Victor Lord’s son but kept the knowledge from him for personal gain. Victor adamantly refuses to believe’ Dorian could betray him this way, but after Tony’s gone Chapin confirms many of Tony’s accusations. When Victor faces Dorian with Tony’s accusations, she evades by insisting that this isn’t rational and she won’t discuss any of it.But, hearing Victor calling his lawyer, Dorian angrily accuses her husband of having judged her and found her guilty. When he concurs, saying he believes his son, Dorian bitterly  snaps, “All right. Yes. I knew Tony was your son!” She then pours out the entire plan of how, when she  was fired from the hospital, she vowed to get enough money and power to control Llanview and everyone in it. When Tony came along, he was a threat to her plan, and she tried to get rid of him. But, she reminds Victor, she saved his life medically and has given him something to live for; she has been a good wife and hostess. Because of that, she deserves what she has; she has paid for it! Victor, her words hitting upon him like tidal waves, pleads, “Dorian, don’t say any more,” as .he moves to the sofa, where he collapses, suffering a massive stroke.
