Don't look at me. I stopped watching regularly in 2015 until earlier this year (and have since stopped). All I know is that Nina gave birth in her coma(?), I think, to what she thought was one child but turned out to be twins.

I believe they knew in Stafford's early days she had been pregnant but assumed she'd lost it when she ODed on pills after finding out about Silas' affair with Ava (which I think Donna Mills masterminded), and went into her decades-long coma. That's why I suspected from the beginning that RC had intended Kiki to actually be Nina's - Donna Mills/Madeline was willing to risk Nina's life to keep her from having Silas' child, as she hated Silas. I assumed Madeline had passed the child off to Ava to keep Silas out of her daughter's life.

Regardless, the saga of Nina's long-lost child/children went on for around a decade and I've never cared in the slightest, except for when it resulted in the Nina/Drew/Willow triangle which I've lost interest in with PM gone.

I am not going to come out here calling Kate Mansi the c-word for people on the Internet being crazy. A lot of Soap Twitter is weird as hell. They act like all these mid couples and characters on GH now are super popular.

Ha!  You gave a much better explanation than I could have.  Mine would have been

 and I have no idea how one kid ended up with Carly's adoptive family and got a kidney bought by Jax and the other ended up in a cult.

Kiki being Nina's would have made a hell of a lot more sense.

I can't remember a single thing about Silas except Michael Easton.  He's related to Vampire Clay, but is he related to Finn?

I don't know either nor care.

Not to my knowledge. And yes, AFAIK Kristina has been bi for years. Anyone complaining about Mansi reminding them of that because they weren't watching before mid couple #300 can dip.

I think it was also planned to cement both Stafford and Ron and Frank's beloved Kristen Alderson (before Kristen asked for a modest pay bump that is, lol). Remember, at that time Stafford was ascendant on the show as a new lead and they were pairing her with Roger and pushing the Franco/Kiki-Todd/Starr repetition hard. They kept on doing it with the three of them as a kind of loose family unit after Passanante took over while Hayley Erin was in the role for awhile. But I just never cared about any of them.

You know I can remember something that happened in 1995 on GH clearly.  I watched the show fairly regularly during this period and it's like I remember none of it.  That's speaks to the quality of that era lol.  The Kiki, Nina, Howarth, and Easton's all blend in to me.

That's my understanding, allegedly. She wanted a pay bump and FV either froze her out or tried to get her to take a cut, and then it was byebye. I assume his paternal affections had shifted in full to Nicolas Bechtel.

I understand why Kate Mansi feels the need to defend herself, but actors just need to stay off social media unless it's curated photos of themselves on Instagram with the comments shut down. 

I do understand why people feel offended how this story was handled but it's not a great idea to trust a soap on this topic. 

I'm also way of the idea of Kristina being "turned straight," although I wouldn't be surprised if the show just puts her with men from now on.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.
