This confirms Victoria really never Got to Hold Baby Eve!

the fact that the white is chick is wearng white while the black people are wearing black and the ginger is wearing Brown, is it some kind of underlying message or something???

If you want all the details, I posted the recaps in the spoiler thread (guess it's not a spoiler now that Cole has aired)

Yes the the recaps that BoldRestless posted are great.
The original clip of her viewing the baby through the glass is here:

THANK YOU!!!

THANK YOU!

[BoldRestless]

One funny thing about those recaps is seeing the depth of her relationship with Neil (he's right by her side when Cole comes in to tell her the baby died), which is absolutely never mentioned today, and now she's dating his nephew and they are treated as peers.

[Paul Raven]

A pity that Cole/Victoria flashbacks can't be used, especially with the story they appear to be telling.

And Neil/Victoria was erased the minute they broke up.

Kinda like Jack/Sharon years later.

Yesterday on B&B, they did flashbacks of Brooke and Ridge since they characters began, but wouldn't use any pics or footage of Ronn Moss. 
Katherine Kelly Lang said in an advance interview that there'd be old flashbacks of her early years with Ridge but only her part of those scenes and not Ronn's. 

Well .... when it aired yesterday, apparently they did the footage as KKL said; but

And they also used a pic of Patrick and Marty and photoshopped KKL in place of Susan Haskell.

So if they can do that then ...
Amelia Heinle and J.Eddie Peck were paired for a while on AMC and their characters Mia and Jake were engaged. 
It has been assumed that Y&R wouldn't/couldn't pay ABC for the rights to the footage. but what if ....

DAYS shows flashbacks of Eric when Jensen Ackles played Eric, but other soaps are afraid too? LMAO

[Planet Soap]

Classic today!!!!

Who do you all think this lady Jordan is related to??

[Liberty City]

I think that was because it was streaming, so things are likely considered different... but, I am sure if it aired on NBC they wouldn't have used Ackles' scenes.

[Faulkner]

Tracey Bregman used to always sound so congested.

[Jeff]

ALL THIS.  I saw the B&B episode mentioned, I mean I thought it was effective enough.  You would think Y&R could do something on a similar scale with AH and JEP.

Also as mentioned above, I really wouldn't have a problem with flashbacks with a former actor in the role; e.g. Ronn Moss as Ridge on B&B.  As pointed out, Jensen Ackles as Eric on Days, now played by Greg Vaughan.  And in this case, if they used Heather Tom in flashbacks as Victoria.

What I don't know is, do they need the actor's permission, or have to pay them royalties?

Were many scenes cut during today's classic?

[Antoyne]

Watching today’s classic I was just amazed at how full the place Ryan and Nina had dinner at was with extras. 

Nicholas being a child in 1993 but now a 50 year old man is hilarious.

It’s amazing how great the production values were back then.

Has it ever been explained the aversion to using music more like the kind in the 90’s. It doesn’t sound dated, it actually sounds dramatic.
