Any doubts about Nikki's business prowess at running Chancellor were forever extinguished by the scene that played at the entrance to the GCAC where Claire detailed to Kyle how her grandmother took down a cocky young exec over a real estate deal. Hayley Erin dug deep to channel Nikki's savvy business persona while Micheal Mealor remembered that the the best acting is reacting, as he stood wide eyed and open mouthed taking in Nikki's handling of the situation. We can only imagine Melody Thomas Scott's commanding performance as Nikki took center stage in Lady Boss mode and how the newbie actor playing her scene partner rose to the challenge as sparkling dialogue ricocheted back and forth. And a special shout out to Y&R's set designers who we sure would have created an office set that reflected Nikki's elegance and good taste. To viewers bothered by Y&R's continued business focus, this scene that dealt with power dynamics, sexism in business and privilege put paid to that criticism once and for all. -

@Paul Raven @ranger1rg Well the average age of Y&R viewer is almost 70yo so these references like the Cola Wars would resonate with the audience. To be fair - Audra and Kyle did talk about social media being the focus of the campaign. I'd rather Audra and Kyle have clothes-less video go viral than to listen to outdated business concepts. As if, Audra could launch even one product without any hires, R&D, etc. Skip this nonsense and hit the sheets. -

1976 Pt 3 Jenny has now left the order, but her recuperation at the Craig home is hampered by pain and dizziness. Jenny admits to Larry it may be fear of her future that’s hampering her recovery, and she and Tim to put off the wedding. But suddenly she’s overcome by a presentiment of fear and anxiously tells Tim they must be married right away. They arrange a wedding for the following week and rent an apartment. Celebrating there with champagne, Jenny gently refuses Tim’s suggestion that they fulfill their love there by explaining that she wants to bring perfect love, without guilt, to their marriage, to give herself to him without guilt and as a gift of married love. But the following day, while she is making plans for the ceremony, Jenny’s world crashes as Vince, desperate to stop what he feels will be sacrilege, argues with Tim, shouting again that God will seek revenge. Tim, at the top of the stair landing, turns to swing at Vinnie and falls the entire flight of stairs. Jenny insists that their marriage take place immediately upon his return to consciousness, and they are married in his hospital room. Tim’s condition worsens - shortly, and just before he’s to be taken to surgery, as he and Jenny talk about the love they share, he tells her, “If I don’t make it, you go on. I don’t want you sitting around grieving over me, because I love you too much. Live a good full life.” Jenny assures him they'll live that life together, telling him he must believe that. Tim replies, “Oh God, I want to,” and then he dies. Vince is going through hell, feeling that he killed Tim, and his pain only begins to be assuaged when Jenny compassionately and honestly tells him she doesn’t blame him and she’s sure God doesn’t either. Tim’s sister Julie flies from Florida for the funeral, then asks her mother if she wants her to stay, saying that they need each other. Ellen, however, tells, her daughter she must go back to the new life she has made for herself; to delay would only make the goodbyes harder. Ellen offers Jenny some of Tim’s personal possessions, but Jenny gently declines, explaining that Tim will always be with her and she doesn’t need his material things Viki was planning to tell Joe about the medical problem when news of Tim’s death came, and after the funeral Joe suggests that if the baby is a boy, they could name him Tim, and this Tim would live a long, full life. That decides Viki once and for all. She tells Larry she just won’t risk telling Joe after everything that has happened, and that’s final. Since her refusal of his marriage proposal, things have been strained between Tony and Cathy, and Pat, wanting to see Tony happy, pushes Cathy to make the first move—if not a phone call, then at least attendance at the opening of his club, Tony’s Place. The Opening is a great success, but Pat, hearing Tony sing “I’ve Been Alone Too Long,” remembers only that Tony sang that song to her so many years ago in Rio. Dorian manages to leave early with Victor by telling him she’s suffering a headache, and then tells Tony, when he calls the following morning, that their noticeably early departure was Victor’s decision, as he had business meetings the following day. When Tony follows up his call with a visit to his father, Dorian, who worked her way into her preferred position as lady of the house by treating Victor during his heart attack, turns Tony away, claiming that Victor has had too much stress lately and can’t hold up under a visit from Tony. Concerned, Tony leaves a note for his father, which Chapin, Victor’s butler, sees Dorian destroy. Dorian then instructs Chapin that Tony is not to be admitted to see Victor, and when Chapin replies that Victor has ordered that Tony’s visits and calls go through immediately, Dorian countermands those instructions, citing Victor’s health as the reason. When Victor asks Dorian to ease up on Chapin, as Viki has mentioned that Chapin is unhappy, Dorian makes it clear to the faithful retainer that unless he follows her orders explicitly, his years of service to the Lords will be over. Dorian and Victor give a dinner in honor of successful enabling legislation licensing Peter Jansson to practice medicine, and Tony later learns from Jenny that Victor is fine. Realizing that Dorian stands between them, Tony races out to Llanfair to tell his father what he’s married to. Tony confronts his father with Dorian’s schemes, concluding with the revelation that Dorian and her accomplice Matt McAllister knew Tony was Victor Lord’s son but kept the knowledge from him for personal gain. Victor adamantly refuses to believe’ Dorian could betray him this way, but after Tony’s gone Chapin confirms many of Tony’s accusations. When Victor faces Dorian with Tony’s accusations, she evades by insisting that this isn’t rational and she won’t discuss any of it.But, hearing Victor calling his lawyer, Dorian angrily accuses her husband of having judged her and found her guilty. When he concurs, saying he believes his son, Dorian bitterly snaps, “All right. Yes. I knew Tony was your son!” She then pours out the entire plan of how, when she was fired from the hospital, she vowed to get enough money and power to control Llanview and everyone in it. When Tony came along, he was a threat to her plan, and she tried to get rid of him. But, she reminds Victor, she saved his life medically and has given him something to live for; she has been a good wife and hostess. Because of that, she deserves what she has; she has paid for it! Victor, her words hitting upon him like tidal waves, pleads, “Dorian, don’t say any more,” as .he moves to the sofa, where he collapses, suffering a massive stroke. -
I have had a semi-obsession with end credits. Back in the early '90's, I would copy ATWT's cast list. That was fascinating (at the time) because they were listed by length of time on the show. And in the '00's I would keep track of the scriptwriters/directors. Now I catch GL's and realize how many names stayed with P&G for years in different capacities. And I obsess over Maeve's credits, whether it's Vanessa Chamberlain or Lewis. I just caught an episode during the Infinity story where she's back to Chamberlain. I swear, someone in the production office (or whoever handled updating the credits) loved the sound of the name Chamberlain and were determined not to let it die. -

I'm not sure they ever had a clear vision on Hart. Other than being the only real instrument that could make Roger pay for his actions.
