Shemar and Vivica are trying hard enough, but Christel looks completely checked out.

My watching has been sporadic. My understanding is that this Genoa City "Shadow Room" is an exact replica of the same bar in another city? And the characters are just saying this?

LOL that Cane has the same train on every continent and Noah can copy/paste bars to new cities.

The bar thing isn't that unusual since many restaurants insist that the all the franchises or parts of the chain look the same, so that the patrons can recognize it and feel comfortable. Furthermore, Noah had opened that glam bar in the top of the Tower several years ago, and then after he left town, we heard from Sharon's dialogue that Noah had opened the same glam bar in London, so we know he likes to copy bar designs.

The train thing is extremely weird.

If they hadn't already done copy/paste with the train, I wouldn't side-eye the bar. But two years in a row, it's obviously just Y&R management finding an easy way out for the set designers.

A Malcolm/Sharon scene! I remember their friendship while Neil/Phyllis/Nick were out searching for runaway teens Lily and Daniel. Unfortunately, since we know Malcolm is here for only two episodes this week to wrap his arc, his interaction with Sharon will probably be only a few seconds.

That dress on Stephanie is not flattering. At all.

Malcolm is definitely a dress casual guy.

When the bar was introduced in the LA episodes, I knew we would see it gain. Too elaborate to be seen for just a few weeks.

It gives certain characters another place to hang out, which is good, but without houses/offices also seen, it's off putting that so many characters spend their lives going from venue to venue.

It’s so bad.. and when’s the last time we saw a jail, hospital or court room? There has been plenty of opportunity’s for those kind of sets to be used but it just all happens off screen now. It’s so annoying!

The set situation is a major problem. Hopefully it is a priority for sally McDonald. The Shadow Room means more stories being told and talked about in public places.

Melody Thomas Scott discusses Nikki's illness
From Stephanie Sloane's weekly newsletter "SoapSteph's daytime dish".
The interview is about partway down the newsletter webpage, just scroll down to Melody's picture.
https://soapsteph.beehiiv.com/p/exclusive-y-r-alum-joins-general-hospital-kirsten-storms-breaks-silence-on-gh-future

Quoting excerpts:

Once she discovered what Nikki’s diagnosis would be, Melody began doing research. “I’ve never played a character with this new diagnosis that Nikki will receive, so I spent more time than usual doing research and prepping,” she shared. “I wanted to make sure my portrayal of Nikki’s experience was as authentic as possible.”

With so much drama in Nikki’s life — from her fractured marriage to Victor to Nick’s overdose — she initially dismissed the warning signs. “The timing of Nikki’s headaches lines up with recent stress from her problems with Victor, along with Nicholas’s issues, so it’s easy for Nikki to attribute her headaches to these current events,” Melody explained. “Nikki has a full plate, so she initially brushes them off, thinking they are tension headaches. Unfortunately, Nikki’s condition will soon get progressively worse to the point where she will be forced to get medical attention.”

End quotes.
