The Young and the Restless delivered fans a dose of laughter when Nikki and Diane faced off in a bathroom while fixing their makeup. It was so fun, but there was one thing that could have made it even better.
Key Takeaways
- Diane and Nikki were some much-needed entertainment on the CBS soap.
- Y&R fans gave them their props but also addressed what was missing.
- Why the scene could have used a nod to the good old soap days.
The History and The Humor
Y&R fans were given a treat this week when Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Diane (Susan Walters) sparred in the bathroom at the GAC. These two high-society women kept it classy by acting as if they were freshening up, all while trading jabs.
Diane and Nikki were hilarious and so enjoyable to watch. They hinted at their sordid history, especially when Diane made it clear she’s not thrilled with Nikki and Jack’s (Peter Bergman, who recalls his favorite Jack & Victor moment) friendship.
Nikki didn’t miss a beat defending her friendship with Jack and making sure to insult Diane as she did it. Walters and Scott brought their A-game per usual, and Y&R fans noticed.
“Fun times in the ladies room great scenes with Nikki and Diane YR,” declared one fan on X.
Even though the scene was funny, it was also a bit intense and could have used something soapy to make it even better.
Here’s What Was Missing From Nikki and Diane’s Spat
One fan on X insisted that the sparring between Diane and Nikki could have used a good old-fashioned soap slap.
“This iconic bathroom scene with Nikki and Diane should have a slapdown,” insisted the fan.
We have to agree that a slap or even a catfight would have made the bathroom moment on the CBS soap even better.
Remember back in the day, when soaps had iconic fights between their female characters, like the ones between Krystal (Linda Evans) and Alexis (Joan Collins) on Dynasty.
Imagine that kind of thing happening between Diane and Nikki, and it spilling out into the GAC, causing such a scene that Jack and Victor (Eric Braeden) have to break it up. It’s been a while since Y&R has had that kind of chaos and fun, and boy, is it missed.
What do you think? Would a slap or a catfight be added to Nikki and Diane’s moment, or would it be fine the way it was? S und off in the comments section below.
