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.

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.

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)

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.

    • Haha, love to hear it, and thank you! Yeah, I just write down thoughts/notes as I'm watching in this viewing journal I'm keeping.  So, you get my raw, honest thoughts in the moment without me having to go back and remember or curate anything.

        Watros is great, and I've liked her from the beginning, so I'm excited to see her evolve and shine even more as Annie continues to descend. I'll keep an eye out for that scene.  I have to say, Rick cracks me up, there are times when he makes jokes and you can tell the actor is having fun with it and cracking himself up. He's endearing. Let me suffer!    So funny how big Josh's hair is in the 80s. Sign of the times, I guess.   I can't wait to finally see the Sonni storyline and watch a younger Michelle Forbes shine. It's on my list, I will go back in time eventually and do this  
    • This was late 1993, right before Roger is shot. 
    • Haha I guess so, and in this recent case, Alan absolutely deserved it (many times over, honestly).
    • It's hard to remember, as Holly and Blake always seemed to be on the outs over something.
    • Ohhh yes, these were exciting!  What year was this?  Another added bonus, watching Tangie lurk around like a thief with that black beanie.

      I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts over Gilly's exit and Vivian's first and likely only contract storyline. It was just a shame. On one hand, I'm glad they decided to finally write for this family (as Gilly was sorely underused in 1995), but then on the other... that was what they decided? Sure, it was a bit soapy, but oh so gross. They could have come up with something better.
    • Women slapping guys is a little more common.  I grew up with CBS, so it doesn't seem strange to me. If you got a slap, you usually really deserved it.
    • That could be it too. I just remember a slap at some point. That would have been around when she was made at Holly for "ruining" her one-sided relationship with Alan Michael. I don't know if you will be getting to 2000 (if you do - buckle up!) but there's a character who was intended to be Stacy.
    • Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.  
    • I thought it was Sherry Stringfield, but maybe it was before Blake slept with Ross. 
    • Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.
