Warning for US viewers... buckle up - most of the show will be flash backs.

I enjoyed it. I'm glad the flashbacks were long enough to get into. It helped that they were basically targeted to cement the current cast/story, to give it history. It wasn't just here's everything that ever happened to Cricket.
I always love seeing the young characters juxtaposed with them as they are now -- it's really moving to me to see how young Danny, Cricket, Nina, and then Phyllis and teenage Daniel were, when they are still with us, having aged alongside us. I forget how they looked then. Nina's reunion with Christine was my favorite part. |

And PS. Interesting that they brought back flashbacks to Michael's law partnership wtih Chris. I wonder if that will be revived now. It would be better than him working as Victor's PI/henchman.

I'm just watching the episode now and I'm really enjoying it. I don't remember Danny and Christine teaching Nina how to be a proper lady, sit up straight, cross her legs, how to hold her tea. That was a cute scene.

I loved the episode. Everyone was so young... that other topic about it not being the Young and the Restless anymore, because all the main characters are old - so true. The flashbacks were a reminder of all the young characters and major storylines. New marriages, cheating on partners like it was the first time that ever happened to anybody... now it's like 5th marriage and 19th time cheating on someone.
I cried in the flashback where Paul tells Christine the baby didn't make it.

I enjoyed the whole episode! It was great seeing all of these actors way back in the day.

I also loved the show. LF, I also cried when Paul had to tell Cricket about losing the baby. Her acting was much better than I had remembered, completely believable and heart wrenching. I hope Danny sticks around and he and Christine get back together again. That show really highlighted how much worse the writing is today. It's almost all about mergers and acquisitions now, hardly titillating stuff.

After a few days out of town, I'm catching up on the past few shows. Really old flashbacks, from when the show had good writers and character development, are much better than flashbacks from yesterday or last week!
Was that a Reliquary that Pristine was wearing around her neck at CL with Nina? It looked heavy.

Also, can we all take a moment to be thankful that Christine didn't wear the full clown suit?  |

I really enjoyed seeing these flashbacks especially the females who were so lovely but now have frozen faces. Thank goodness that Melody Thomas Scott, Michelle Stafford, Christel Khalil, Melissa Ordway and Camryn Grimes are not filling and plumping their foreheads, cheeks and lips.

It sure looks to me that Michelle Stafford fills/plumps her lips. I don't pay much attention to Melissa Ordway, except to notice that she's overly tanned. I don't know if it's natural or from a bottle or tanning bed, but I think she overdoes whatever it is. |

I'm not a Michelle/Phyllis fan... however I don't think she plumps he lips. I believe she put lipstick over her lip line to make them appear fuller. I could be wrong though. If her lips have been plumped, it's a different method than most of the actresses do.

Michelle's whole mouth seems bigger. Can't quite figure out if she's been plumping them or not. Lauralee/Cricket has definitely been using fillers. During the flashback scenes she was shown in side by side photos (past and present), her cheeks are noticeably fuller now and the reverse happens when you age.
The two things that distract me the most involve Mel Ordway and Michelle Stafford. They both are overly tan (orangey even) and have had their teeth whiten to within an inch of their lives. They almost glow in the dark.

If her lips have been plumped, it's a different method than most of the actresses do. Well I don't know if she plumps her lips or not. I just searched for older pictures of her and I don't see a lot of difference. But sometimes on the show OMG her lips just look so inflated and her mouth is so wide. Maybe she just overdraws the outline, and maybe she uses lipstick that temporarily make your lips swell a bit. All I know for sure is that most days when she's on screen, all I see is MOUTH. |

I'm with you. Her lips don't necessarily seem plumper but certainly wider. They seem to almost take up 1/2 of her lower face. Again, if you compare the earlier shots to present day, it' noticeable. Maybe I'm imagining it. |
