It looks like they crammed in a good number of clips into 35 minutes (too bad commercial breaks are so long today, otherwise there could have been more!). Very good clips, too. Hats off to Melody Thomas Scott and everyone else involved with making this episode.

Four more cast milestones are coming up the next year: Joshua Morrow's 25th year in April, Sharon Case's 25th year in September, Peter Bergman's 30th year in November, and Eric Braeden's 40th year next February. I wonder if there will be any special episodes for them.

Oh you know there will be! but I'm more looking forward to the latter 2 then the 1st two....

Jess Walton and Tracey Bregman should have gotten special episodes for their anniversaries.

I'm hoping Eric gets a similar episode for his 40th anniversary next year like Melody got. My biggest soap wish is to see Eric's first episode.

I hope they do...and maybe episodes like this that get positive feedback from the fans will encourage them to do so. I'm almost positive they would do one for EB, at least.

Yeah, whatever on JM and SC. We already got Nick reminiscing about his various lovers with Julianne Morris, Jennifer Gareis, and others returning... that was for his 20th, right? I do wish Sharon’s mom Doris was still around.

 

No question... EB will get one and deservedly so given his stature. It’ll be interesting to see what they do for PB.

I just hope it's not another jail or coma situation for any of the characters coming up....

Let's just throw him a kegger for his 25th and be done with it (and with him).

It truly was a fantastic episode. It didn't feel cheesy the way a lot of these anniversary episodes can feel (hello every anniversary episode for Erika Slezak). It was very smart of them to let classic clips play instead of trying to shove new characters or current story down our throats.

 

Here's an interview by everyone's favorite Michael Fairman with MTS.

 

 

The musical score and just everything about the scene with Jack telling Nikki about their baby's organ donations... 👌. It definitely gives me a throat lump.

That was one of Bell's biggest mistakes, killing  Nikki and Jack's kid.

How tragic!  25 years of nothing.

He is still around masking as a Newman....Nick that is.....He never came off as Nikki and Victor's son. 

Solid episode. For me, the scenes with Eric, Jeanne, and Roberta made it. Again, I wish we could have seen a young Heather Tom, but clearly that’s verboten with AH now in the role.

I did love the episode and was mostly satisfied with the clips and loved hearing the music!
