Nina giving Abby hell was great, as was Jill reminding her of her own past. The highlight was Diane slapping the taste out of that big mouth of Phyllis. 

I thought Erica Kane had the first abortion on soaps

I wish Nina would've knocked Jill back by reminding her of her own past with Phillip/Katherine and how she initially treated her for years. 

But the Jill Foster Abbott I know would've had been lining up to sound off on Abby hurting her grandson.

No, it was Pat Matthews on Another World in 1964.  And then Pat's daughter, Marianne had an abortion in 1975.  

 

Thrilled Christine and Jill called out Nina on her hypocrisy. Even better it was done with humor instead of some sort of lecture. So great to see TC.

 

Who wrote the scripts? I liked Diane telling Phyllis she's an embarrassment and has no friends.

Leanna Love being in town as a busybody for the 50th Anniversary has been a nightlight of the week so far. 
 

Nina tearing Abby down after Amanda ripped her a new one last week was delightful to watch. And yes I agree Jill should have been in line next instead of reminding Nina of her history.

The Diane & Phyllis scenes were great, it’s been a long time coming for Phyllis. Phyllis is completely unhinged and Stafford isn’t giggling for once. 

Why the heck is this show not using a handsome hunk like Connor Floyd as Chance at all?

Tricia Cast walked right back into her role as Nina, and did not slip a beat. Wow, she has been the shot of energy we needed all week! I loved how she got Christine to crack her optimistic façade. I love her realization that she was turning into a protective mama bear, just like Jill.

I hope we get a chance to see handsome Chance in a tux, and that he gets a chance to close out his relationship with Abby on his terms.

This has only been like the second time I feel we have seen Staffords Phyllis actually get slapped? Am I right? Haha

Lmao, also getting choked out 😅

Nina being back reminds me of the one element missing from modern day Y & R... that wrong side of track character with drive and ambition.  The last character to have any kind of spirit like that was Hilary several years ago.

Leanna being the gossip is perfect

LOL. I think I saw it mentioned about Nina slapping Stafford’s Phyllis but before that pretty sure Sharon and Phyllis had a couple go arounds as well in 2007 I think and then again later under MAB they had a catfight involving a chocolate fountain at the Chancellor Estate.

And going back further (When Alex Donnelley and Sandra Nelson were playing Diane and Phyllis) Diane also gave Phyllis a good slap during fall 1998, when Michael got "kidnapped"  He came barging in all sweaty and dirty, before things got more physical of course. 

Someone should post those two slaps side by side!  (Diane slapping Phyllis)

Did Alexs Diane and  Sandras Phyllis interact more? I think I read she and Stafford only shared one scene.

They had scenes from 98-99. I forget what initially started their rivalry. All I can think of is that Phyllis was sniffing around Michael by this point, and was jealous of Diane's closeness to him when she was fighting her divorce from Victor? 

MS and AD had only one scene in 2001. It used to be on here, unless it's saved.
