Oh wow, they are the same age? She just feels older in some way. Not that she has aged skin, but yet she just looks and feels older

I feel like for the most part this week they picked TERRIBLE Victor and Nikki episodes. Not any of their weddings? Hell they can do an entire week of each Victor/Nikki wedding. surely they have married each other at least 5 times?

Honestly weddings are boring. Unless someone gets shot at one, I would rather they not. 

 

But I agree the Nikki and Victor episodes have largely sucked (still better than anything B&B has done)

Victor & Nikki's 2002 wedding will be on Friday. I agree the weddings are typically boring (the 1984 episode was entertaining though because of Eve). B&B is less than 20 minutes, and the vows take nearly half that, and they all sound the same. Zzz. At least on Y&R we will get some b-storyline too (Ashley making the video and some Raul/Mac/Brittany).

You're crazy lol Sandra Nelson was awesome as Phyllis

 

100%. Alex Donnelly is sublime. Susan Walters was watered down to compliment Michelle Stafford. Alex would've mopped the floor with Michelle lol

The 1990 and 1998 episodes are just perfection to me. This is MY Y&R. I really would love to know what was cut, because everything that was left in was so damn good. Skimming the recap from 1998 and I don't see anything important missing.

 

I love how they balance humor and drama, how they plant the seeds of one storyline while another comes to a head.

 

1990: You had the wonderful comedy of Nikki stripping and Victor's reaction, but then at the end it gets really sad That look that Victor gave when he said "you forgot these" and then held on to Nikki's hand a little too long. That was tender and disrespectful at the same time, with Jack looking on. It starts to sink in that her problem is serious. Then you have the drama with Drucilla. VR was fantastic as she realized she couldn't talk her way out of this, and then you had Mamie doing everything to keep her composure in front of John, wanting to bail Drucilla out and give her a hug but also wanting Dru to learn her lesson. And then Nathan talking to Olivia about it, not knowing that scared kid is Liv's sister. I assume the episode where Nathan learns Dru can't read is coming up soon. The Scott/Lauren thing was the least interesting but you have that little spark where Sheila shows her colors after Scott leaves. Did anyone else notice a huge line of spit after Lauren and Scott kissed, LMAO.

 

1998: So on point. Jill and Kay... as stupid as it is in concept that Jill would live there, the scenes just worked. Hilarious. Foreshadowing Jill finding the papers in the attic. Diane's insecurity about the battle yet to come, the foreboding music when Victor is supposed to be comforting her. Victor and Nikki in the hospital was really sweet. You rarely see that side of Victor. I loved the scene with Michael applying for the job: the lady's reaction when he said he was in jail, and how he gave his explanation almost without taking a breath, so that she couldn't say no until he got it all out, and by the end she was impressed. He had to humble himself, but later we see him blow up at Phyllis, good range. Phyllis is insane, how is she going to go to Christine and bitch about her not supporting the man who broke into her home and tried to rape her, while Phyllis hates and tried to mow down Christine for basically no reason but her being annoying lol. I'm amazed how 22 years later I'm right back there feeling so indignant and pissed lol. Even the Nick and Grace scenes were pretty good with Nick whining about Cassie, hah. This is the day after Nick finds out the truth, so that's another big story just hitting a climax. So much going on.

I feel like I need to give Joshua Landers a special shoutout in this storyline. He was Nikki's husband who was shot and killed the same night Nikki got shot and she seemed to have forgotten him at the drop of a hat as soon as she married Victor in the hospital. I don't even think they showed a scene of Nikki grieving Joshua beyond her finding out he died while she was in the hospital bed in critical condition. 

Also, loved Sandra Nelson as Phyllis!

I just want to say I am so happy right now to see old school AD Diane Jenkins.

 

And continuing to love MTS's acting...cuz she is still one of the few that would do those hospital scenes no makeup.

Well, as Veronica would say 'that b Nikki!' lol. 

 

But true.

Lmao I wasn't trying to hate. I just turned on my ability to see signatures (after years) and it was like woah. You do you!

 

 

Thanks! Sounds like good ol Victor. This prompted me to look up that period. I'd forgotten that Patty killed Zapato, I loved that dog. And apparently Victor got another lab and gave it to Nick? I'm guessing we haven't seen him since.

HAHAHAHAHAHA at Jill knowing Esther is eavesdropping and telling her to get her bags.

 

I love this knowing where this is heading (attic fight)

 

And I still have the same feelings about Nick/Grace as I did as a kid (funny given I had no relationship drama to know that cheating is wrong back then)...HAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEE.

@Darn Not you as a hater. I was meaning other folk.

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
    • I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.
    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
