The beauty of this confrontation between KL's Abby and Val is that, when you really think about it, neither woman is all that wrong.

And this sequence features (IMO) some of the best acting in Donna Mills' entire career:

Julie Harris will always be a national treasure.  And she never should have been written off KL.

@Khan I love all those Abby/Knots scenes. I was trying to find the "Abby scale" scene, which is one of my favorite scenes with her, but don't know where it is. Around 5 minutes in this does have a good Abby/Paige scene - LML and Lechowick didn't bother to hide their preferences in this rivalry, but I'm glad that Abby still got to have the last word.

Moniz was fabulous- and when she unraveled it was amazing.  My family’s favorite Dinah also.  It’s not on YouTube anymore I don’t think but there were scenes of her and Cassie going at it (Laura Wright) and also Dinah and her mother Vanessa where she implies she slept with Matt.

I thought Moniz struggled for years but was at home with the bitchy, vulnerable, unhinged Dinah of 98-99. Rauch made a lot of mistakes but he got that one right. Even the "scar" story, which often amounted to poor Moniz having to hold a napkin to her cheek, worked.

“Do your biological twitchings in HIS bedroom!” India spitting all kinds of venom in Reva’s direction. So many great lines, and I love the way MKA says “blessings.”

I wish I could have watched the great confrontations between Bev’s Alex and MKA’s India live. Such great hate chemistry. Their scene starts at 6:35.

Sheila trying to drown Stephanie on B&B. I wasn’t a viewer of B&B until too late, but I love how KB went toe to toe with La Flannery.

@Faulkner thank you for posting that Reva and India clip. I've watched so little of that period. Mary Kay Adams is absolutely riveting to watch - she takes those delicious lines for all they're worth and slowly builds India up to a woman possessed with rage and horrible insecurity. And Zimmer (who, other than her hair being too fried, always suited that era of style more than the '90s I think) underplays the whole thing to achieve the perfect balance. MKA is just so incredible. You can see why a character who on paper was always a bit thin managed to stay around.

    • yes I thought of the Renee party... But this is different because I'm talking specifically about the revealer convincing someone else to throw the party.  And the someone else complies, having no idea what the revealer plans. I'm wondering if Michele Val Jean did a first with BTG in 2025. But the BTG thread is already so busy -- that I thought it important to *NOT* clog it up with discussing this, so I brought the question here instead. That way, if other reveals come up in conversation, it's not a problem on this "general retro soap" thread.
    • Well, good that they showed Vanessa though I wish she was there.   Lol. And here comes Naomi. AND an explanation from Jacob.

      She is diabolical! Remember in this scene she offered Martin a brownie which seemed so random? In this episode its revealed that when he was a kid, Ted used to bring him to a restaurant where the waitress would give him brownies....that waitress was Leslie. She was playing games and trying to jog his childhood memory
    • Yay!!!!!! And made it ON TIME, TOO!!!   And this is giving DAYS reveals circa late 90s already.
    • Bish what? I was not expecting that, I was for sure expecting him to go after Nicole (He still can). Looks like Leslie put her out! I love these new developments, Eva Dorian Lording her way into Fairmont Crest. My good sis better trap that doctor.
    • It should be in its synopsis on the DVR description of the show.
    • Well, in a way DAYS "Renee Dumonde DiMera Threw a Party & Invited Everyone & Then Told the Whole Town Off" if you see what I mean. She definitely pretended that she was throwing this shindig for a pleasant reason while she KNEW her real intent wasn't pleasant AT ALL. And, everyone in Salem was targeted by her in this way.  I mean it was supposedly a celebration of her engagement. But, that is not what happened! I think it checks off all your boxes. And, before today I would definitely have called it "singular". There was nothing like it. Now, there's something not only similar but possibly .... more far-reaching? I was just struck by a thought. When MVJ was tasked to write a catfight, she wrote the best catfight that has ever existed. I'm not sure but what if she's done it again?!!    
    • What's with this show constantly encouraging women to take back men who aren't worth a damn, then end up doing it lol. This was realistically a 4-episode week considering all the flashbacks to the showstopper can collectively form a 19-minute episode on its own.  
    • Another episode uploaded. Love Chandler introduction.

    • Naomi was in Monday's episode, though the client wasn't. Naomi and Jacob were at Uptown with Chelsea, Allison, Derek, and Ashley. And what an amazing episode that was today. Tricia Mann-Grant was absolute perfection as was Ambyr Michelle. I cannot wait to see Dana mix it up with the Duprees, especially Anita.
