Same here. It was one of the best episodes in a while.

 

I can't wait to see what Y&R comes up with for the Monday February 10, 2020 episode

Again, glad that Dylan is in the dustbin of Y&R history, at least for the time being.

 

I loved the episode. It is always so nice to see older clips in such high quality.

 

The only strange thing was that the previews insinuated that the show would include clips with Diane and Jill. But I know that the show can only fill so much time.

Instead of just one episode, they could have worked all these flashbacks into a running storyline about Nikki either writing her memoirs, a la Kay, or producing a movie about her tumultuous life.

Erica did the same thing during AMC's 40th anniversary.

 

Nikki missed some names/marriages in hers though.

 

Her full name is Nicole Reed Foster Bancroft DiSalvo Newman Abbott (almost Carlton) Landers Newman Newman Chow (nearly Williams) Sharpe (almost Newman yet again) Abbott Newman

It's weird she named her son Nicholas considering that's her father's name and he raped her sister and she killed him. Did they explain that when Nicholas was born?

 

Also was it always planned for Joshua Landers to be shot and killed? He married Nikki but was he always treated like a short term character or was he integrated into the cast?

Probably not.  Bill Bell's philosophy was simple: when a story's over, it's over.  Forget it, move on.

 

More likely, "Nicholas" was in honor of his mother, and nothing more.

    • Interesting promo, @DRW50. I'm fascinated by CBS This Morning having on ABC stars. I wonder if they had any interest in reaching out to the NBC soaps.

      ok maybe I am obsessed with @melodythomassco ) I looooove my job! Thank you cast of @youngandrestlesscbs for allowing me to be me!! @melodythomassco @eileendavidsonofficial @hayleyerin13 @mel_ordway @missyclaireegan @swaltersashby @christianjleblanc @ericbraedengudegast @peterbergmanyr @michael.mealor @ameliamheinle @jeddiepeck @jairodriguez          
    • Just so you know I said it... @Antoyne ASHHHHHHHHLEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Yes, the Liz and Lucky scenes were horrible. Kristina better be sent to prison.   I'm already getting tired of BLQ continuing to blame Lois for her mistakes. Yes, let's move this along.
    • Oh I agree that they erred in not showing her bonding more with her family and not having this examined more closely. I think if I cared about Lucky or Laura I'd be more agitated. I think the material they have given her (aside from chasing after Charlotte, which was hurt by not focusing more on Rocco's response and just by Charlotte never having a reason to exist) has been OK but certainly not what it could have been.
    • I have never been much of a Lulu fan either since the JMB days.  I do think Alexa Havins is really a great recast.  When Lulu returned it was at the expense of Sam (no loss to me) but not the best for audience favor, she was barely on screen for weeks after she woke up, then went to run off and put everyone in danger to find Charlotte at the expense of her other child, and finally moved on to this Brook/Dante baby investigation.  Lulu never had a chance to grieve the years she lost, re-bond with her family or her friends, re-integrate herself back into town, or be anything more than a chaos creator. Meanwhile, Brook Lynn is this poor, innocent victim that's being bullied by Lulu.  I don't think Lulu is right.  I would just like a little more subtlety in the writing. 
    • Just beautifully done. I could name some minor quibbles, but I won't, because what DAYS gave us today was golden. That was soap opera at its finest, paying homage to history and legacy and actors and the audience. This is why we love soaps.
    • To clarify, we could argue about the necessity to have John Black speak while in hospital, but the body created an opportunity for people to touch him, and move around him.  Even though I never totally suspended my disbelief, I appreciated their creative choice to form a visual representation of loss.  Certainly there were other ways to tell this story, but it will stay with me because those production choices enabled these performances. However, with disdain, I note that Days has found an odd middle ground between a flashback and a montage.  I define a flashback as least a couple of rounds of dialogue, if not a whole scene.  And a montage would be a visual snippet without much dialogue.  But, these were often just a single line, or an entrance.  It felt like a bit of a tease, and made me wish that Peacock had curated a playlist of John Black's Greatest Hits, like they do for some Bravo shows or SNL characters.  OT - but they have yet to maximize that platform.
    • It's tough for me because I feel like this has always been Lulu. She used to be even worse, slut-shaming, verbally abusing other women, and always being written as being in the right. They should let Brook Lynn get dirtier, but I think the material of Lulu digging and being self-righteous, making everything worse even while not intending to do so, but also not being as in the wrong as Dante thinks she is, all makes sense for her. But I don't have as much experience with Lulu as a lot of fans as I just could never stomach her beyond the time she was a mute kid, so I don't have much right to speak.
