After watching daily in the early 1990s, I am now a part-time casual viewer at best.  Most recently, I tuned in for the Eve's sister story.

So, color me shocked to learn that Victor and Nikki haven't been living in their old house on the ranch!  I knew about the fire.  But, I thought those dinky sets were just due to the budget cuts and that is why they didn't look familiar.

I'm thrilled the old ranch is back.

wait, is that gonna be the climax of this Sharon sl: she burns down the Newman Ranch? Again? 

 

It seems like Victor has rebuilt  the ranch elsewhere.

Hopefully it will be explained in the scripts. Perhaps he purchased or owned some nearby land and had the new ranch built there. And explain what will happen to the current house.

Otherwise Nikki might have noticed construction of a new house on the current property...

The SOD article implied that the ranch is so big that Nikki wouldn't have noticed the construction.  And that they are moving to the original site of the house, as the place where they are now is merely another home on the ranch that was redecorated for them after the fire in 2012.

So, mondays show. I think Diane is serious about this personality change. Tracy went to see her and she went on this big ramble about how she can't deny her wants anymore and no man has to ever choose between family and power. She brings up that Victor does horrible things but no one ever denies his love for his family. Victor then called her and wants to team up. She said yes, she wants payback and doesn't care who she hurts to make it happen before looking off Evilly.

 

Daniel got arrested and Phyllis doesn't want Christine to be his lawyer. She thinks Christine will tank Daniel's case because she hates her. Phyllis met with Michael and told him about Sharon and that she's going to prove that Sharon killed heather.

 

Nikki was visiting Jack and he revealed that Victor was Glissades secret investor and is grooming Kyle to get revenge on him.

 

Nikki was very mad and she confronted Victor. They got into a big screaming match about how Jack nearly got her killed. And Victor lying to her.

i still don't know. I feel like the show is gonna pull a "gotcha!" and it's been some secret plot between Jack & Diane this whole time. 🙄 We'll see, tho! 

Phyllis wasn't happy Christine was Daniel's lawyer. She was screaming in Chances face and she told Phyllis to "Shut the hell up." Then, she accused Christine of sabotaging Daniel because she hates her. She said Christine is an "incompetent boob" and she should "Go back to being Danny's groupie throwing your panties on stage."

@Liberty City from the Deadline article, It doesn't sound like a remodel but a whole new structure.

As viewers will soon learn, Nikki’s husband Victor (Eric Braeden) made the decision to secretly rebuild their original home after it was burned down in 2012 by that crazy Sharon. Victor’s plan all along was to spring the completed house on his unsuspecting wife. (Apparently, the construction was easy to hide since the Newman ranch is so dang big).

This is why I asked about Aunt Jordan's cell.  Because it seems like the implication is that Victor and Nikki have been staying in another house on the ranch, that shares the same address because the ranch only has one address for the entire property.  So, was the cell under the old house (where Michael Scott was held), or under the new house?  I guess we'll never know.

Nvm misunderstood

HOW MANY F¨UCKING HOUSES ARE ON THAT RANCH?! GODDAMN!!!! And in Wisconsin?!

Maybe what I referenced as the 'new house' was actually an existing structure, other than the tack house, or the gatehouse, or the barn, which Victor constructed back in the day to spy on his wife and hold prisoners.

No; the new house was built following the ranch fire. Nikki & Victor moved into the penthouse, and during an episode, even stated: architects had drawn up plans for a new main house to be built, and the house debuted in March 2013 for the 30th anniversary.

I hope Nikki will be much more pleased by this reveal.

Imagine going from a penthouse to that pitiful place with no color and zero charm?

Although at this rate, for the next anniversary, Victor is going to have to build a replica of the Colonnade Room next to the barn for them to have a vow renewal.  Or, clone Miguel, so someone can help Nikki around the house. 😉

I didn't hate the 2013 set at all. It felt very warm. It just wasn't a "ranch" set.

 

When Leanna was writing Ruthless (but Victor thought she was working on his authorized biography), he offered to take her on a helicopter ride to see the whole ranch, so I guess it's pretty big, haha.
