SAVE THE DATE: Y&R's Victor and Nikki's 1984 Wedding To Be Rebroadcast!
Courtesy/CBS
Before the clock strikes twelve and we ring in the New Year, Y&R will end the final week of 2016 with the airing of a classic episode featuring the wedding of Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). It happens next Friday, December 30th.
These nuptials were originally broadcast on April 13, 1984, and featured the first marriage of one the most beloved couples in daytime history. Look for longtime current cast members in the episode as well including: Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbott), Tracey E. Bregman (Lauren Fenmore) and Doug Davidson (Paul Williams).
Programming note: Due to CBS’ broadcast of College Football’s Sun Bowl, this airing of Y&R will air from 10-11AMPST, while Y&R will retain its regularly scheduled timeslot on the the east and central time zones.
So, are you looking forward to seeing this classic soap opera wedding all over again next Friday? Comment below.

I love these classic rebroadcasts— and the added bonus is we now know what happened after that moment in time, so I am sure some of the dialogue will be tainted with irony and inadvertent foreshadowing of things yet to be. To see some of the old sets like they were might to be, to hear the lovely real music the show used to have instead of some tech’s guy IPod playlist– and it was a grand affair–not too much of those any more on soaps— and may be the best fun of all is laughing at all those ugly… Read more »
I too love when they rebroadcast old episodes. Remember when every grand event took place at the infamous Collinade Room? It will be fun to see past cast members and try to rehash the storylines. 1984 was the year I graduated from H.S. I can’t believe I was watching on and off since then. Well now that eveyone who will read this, and knows basic second grade math will figure out my age, I will say MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!! Happy New Year as well. And as always, tune in tomorrow for the next… Read more »
who was the woman trying to poison/ kill Nikki at the wedding 4-13-1984 on Y&R? that’s a little before I began watching the show. And why was she trying to kill her?
Looking forward to it!!
I am so happy to hear this is going to be rebroadcast…I think this is where Lori Brooks and other favorites attended the wedding.
Hooray for flashbacks! (GH–take note).
0ooh gawd NO–
GH;
I could not watch one more Luke and Laura wedding..
Who said anything about Luke and Laura? What about Anna and Robert’s wedding in Italy? Or their “From Here to Eternity” love scene on the beach? Or Tiffany and Sean’s hilarious wedding at the Q mansion?
Or flash forward to the 90’s when Brenda locked eyes with Sonny.
Or how about a flashback to the Q mansion back when it was the social place to be.
Y&R is demonstrating how to incorporate backward glances into the present. This is how you do it.
LOL.. GH….I’d love them to flashback the whole show!
Happy New Year!
GH could take a note from this, and do a flashback of Dr. Hardy or Alan Q reading to the kids at GH at Christmas. Or even have another Q pick up the mantle like Ned or Michael and continue with this lovely tradition.
The first of many of their marriages. How many times have they tied the knot with each other? I’ll bet they have as many as Sonny and Carly on GH.
0oh my gorsh..
that was 32 years ago…
it will be a hoot to watch ..
You are just really special su0000
Happy holidays
Thirty two years ago, MIss SUOO?
My gosh that was back when you were a spring chicken of seventy-nine.
okay…now you’re confusing me. Harry? Ad… hmph!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
hey Jimh..
A BIG Christmas Holiday {{{{{{{{{{ HUG}}}}}}}}}
I hope Santa will be good to you, if he’s not coming than peace and lots of strange foods for you and if all fails then get stoned and binge watch at Netflix ..
take care, peace!
Hanukkah, the annual Jewish Festival of Lights, overlaps with Christmas this year—an occurrence that hasn’t happened since 1978 and won’t take place again until 2027. (( begins this year on Dec. 24.
To All celebrating Hanukkah-
!!! Wishing you a great joyful Hanukkah !!!
— Love & Peace —
((and you get more gifts than most 🙂
Wish the same for you…Happy Holidays!!!
Your Hanukkah wishes were very thoughtful, Su. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jimh. Blessings to you!
Likewise…
Jimh…Wishing you and everyone else the same good wishes for the Holidays. -:)
And Happy New Year!! 2017 has got to be better than 2016!
PS. Has anyone noticed how fabulous Melody Scott Thomas suddenly looks?
My assumption is they are pulling out this classic because something related to this will become important to an upcoming story line. Ms. Sussman is great at breathing life from the past, and I think this will be no different. Something will tie into this in 2017.
I was thinking the same thing…
Finally—we’re getting a REAL classic episode. The last several that aired as “classic” were just episodes that happened a short while ago. That’s good for refreshing anyone’s mind about the current story or trying to reel in viewers who might have just started tuning in but I wouldn’t call episodes like that classic. Something from the mid-80s is classic and Y&R knew how to breathe fire into the stories back then and the budgets were much bigger than what they are today. If I remember right, Nikki’s dress for that wedding cost $300,000. This was also when Bill Bell was… Read more »
James, I agree with you 100% on everything you said.
I remember watching it all those years ago ~~ cannot wait to see it once again.
Can’t wait. I didn’t see it when it aired originally.
This is so cool! I, too, remember the original broadcast. Back then weddings were spectacular events with the appropriate budgeting behind it. Umm, where did 32 years of my life go?!?! Can’t wait to chuckle at the fashions and hair styles and makeup from back then, LOL!
I am looking forward to this I am the biggest y&r fan this side of the Mississippi I love what you’re doing to the show bringing back some of the Good Ol story lines that we’re going with other writers took over love me some Victor and Nikki Newman
Smart move… Not only is it a delight to revisit a past moment, but CBS is reminding us of its commitment to Sally Sussman and making things right with the popular daytime drama.
Kool, glad to see it. Back in the day I was all AMC so I missed this but heard so much about it.
Who is the baby in this episode? He is in a woman’s lap during the wedding
It’s a girl….the baby was Victoria!
I did some research…Nikki had Victoria before she and Victor were married!!
The woman holding the baby was Liz Foster, Jill’s mother. I believe the baby she held was her grandchild… I think it was Snapper’s child (Liz’s son.)
It was Liz Foster. But I think others here are correct. Nikki had the baby before the marriage.
Yes, the baby that Liz was holding was indeed Victoria, born onscreen in 1982, I believe she was almost 2 when Victor and Nikki got married
Wish they would have a track at the bottom of the screen to tell who everyone is
Who was the woman trying to kill Nikki on her 1st wedding day to Victor?
Eve Howard
That was Eve Howard. Victor had a one night stand with her. She had a son named Cole, who she told Victor he was the father of. Victoria later married him. Victor had to tell her he was her half brother, at which point they had their marriage annuled. Victor found out later he wasn’t his son, him & Victoria got married again. She hot pregnant with his child, but miscarried. He also had a relationship with Ashley, & Nikki. Miss those good old days!
Thank you for giving me a little backround. I didn’t watch Y & R from the beginning but my husband did. He couldn’t remember.
Who was the baby who said Mama (referring to Nikki) in the April 1984 episode?
Victoria is sitting on Jill Foster Abbott’s Mother Elizabeth’s lap
Victoria!
I did some digging…she had Victoria before she and Victor were married….it’s Vic!
I enjoyed the flashback to Victor and Nikki’s wedding. There was a young adorable boy that they flashed on a couple times and when Nikki walked down the aisle, he whispered “Mama”. Who was that supposed to be? I have to admit to not watching this show until 2000.
Do you think that was Dylan????
Bright blue eyes…..and we know now all these years later she had that other baby….
It must be!
They need to release ALLLLLLLLL of the past episodes, from the very beginning. I’d pay for the opportunity to watch all those shows from before my time to when i was old enough to start watching up through now even. It breaks my heart I can’t see these.
That is Victoria, who was born in 1982.
Victoria was 2 at the time, so it should have been her. But who was the woman trying to kill her??
So I looked it up. It was Cole’s mom, Eve Howard. She escaped the mental hospital.
By 1984, Victor was planning on marrying Nikki. When Eve read about this in the newspaper at the sanitarium, she tried to switch places with her roommate, who was about to be released but wanted to stay in the sanitarium. Eve knocked out a caterer and changed clothes with her to get into the hotel where Victor and Nikki were getting married. After the wedding, Eve went to Nikki’s room, and she prepared to stab her, but she was interrupted by Nikki’s sister, Dr. Casey Reed. So, Eve climbed into Victor’s trunk which was about to be placed on the… Read more »
Thanks for this.
The baby was Victoria
Everyone is so young of course in 84 I was onlyv30 so I was young as well time sure Flys my youngest was 5 my middle boy was 8 and my oldest was 9 man where has the time gone
The baby was Victoria!
I did some digging…Nikki had Victoria before she and Victor were married….it’s Vic!
I’m only 38 y.o. n have only been watching this since the 90s as I entered high school in 1992, so no I’m not interested in this episode; in fact I’m thoroughly confused n quite annoyed by this old and ancient episode no matter how classic only cuz I haven’t the slightest idea who a lot of these ppl are, so its highly frustrating. I’m more partial to actually knowing the characters n storylines of everyone on screen….trying to Google to keep up with this episode n get some point of reference is totally n completely exhausting!!! BTW who’s the… Read more »
The woman trying to kill Nikki was Eve Howard, Victor’s former secretary who claimed her son Cole was the result of a one-night stand with Victor. When she learned that Cole was named in Victor’s will, Eve came up with a scheme to slowly poison Victor and claim his fortune for her son. Eve’s plot was foiled when Victor’s ex-wife Julia stumbled onto the plot via a phone call she overheard between Eve and her partner in crime Max. Eve was sent away to a mental institution which she escaped from just prior to Friday’s episode. Years later while Victor… Read more »
That was Niki’s conjoined twin. She suffered from a blood disorder which was causing poison to flow through Niki. It was imperative that they be separated. She then grew up trying to poison Niki with the mindset that Niki was supposed to be poisoned because they should’ve never been separated….Bad blood between them!
So why did you watch?
Bill Bell wrote the episode himself. Not only was it a great wedding, but he made it clear that the Newmans and Abbotts were now the main families of Y and R, as he appeased many fans of the earliest years of the show when he brought back all the Brookes girls and Liz Foster as a farewell to them; they were the original families in the 70s when the program was only 30 minutes.
Everything about this episode was lush. Loved it.
The music and the Colannade Room! Colonel Austin! I am one fan who’d love to hear that music TODAY and see the lovely Colannade Room back in action. Top of the Tower pales by comparison.
Poor Colonel Austin passed away year ago.
Where does Dylan fit in age wise with Victoria & Nick?? I too thought the baby at wedding was Dylan yet Nikki gave him up for adoption.
who was the little girl sitting on mrs fosters lap during victor and nikkis first wedding? i recognize her but cant remember who she was
Who sang at their wedding? It just showed her for a few seconds, but I loved her voice. I thought it might be Gloria Louring.
Who was the little boy Jill’s mother was holding on her lap during victor and Nicki’s wedding broadcast todY.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Remembers Carly Just as She Is Marrying Jason
After nine months of being “Mike”, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) had a major breakthrough as his memory is all coming back to him now (as the Celine Dion song says), and in the process the Tan-O has burned to the ground, signaling the the probable end to the Nixon Falls arc of the story.
As the story picked-up on Thursday, Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) plot to keep Sonny for herself and away from Carly majorly backfired on her. Not only does Phyllis (Joyce Guy) now know that Nina lied about “Mike’s” identify the entire time, but Peter August (Wes Ramsey) is running wild and free heading back to Port Charles to claim his baby and Maxie (Kirsten Storms), after setting fire to the building.
Courtesy/ABC
Since “Mike” ran in to save Nina and got hit by a beam in the process, he is alone in the burning Tan-O enveloped by flames, but that triggers the beginning of his memory coming back.
Meanwhile, back in Port Charles, Jason (Steve Burton) and Carly (Laura Wright) are at their wedding, with the five family mob bosses present with a plot of their own and everyone wondering if Jarly will say “I do'”. The two light a candle together for those loved ones no longer with them … ah, Sonny!
Back the burning Tan-O, Sonny is visited by the vision of the real Mike (Max Gail) who tells him it’s time for him to go home now. A conflicted Sonny tells Mike he is very happy in Nixon Falls with Nina, but Mike tells him he needs to know his past in order to move forward. When Sonny has flashes of his violent past it frightens him, and he says whatever family he has is better off without him in their lives.
Jax (Ingo Rademacher) tries to text Maxie while still in Nixon Falls with Nina to watch out for Peter, but she is attending and managing Carly and Sonny’s wedding, so she doesn’t pick up the phone!
Inside the Tan-O, Sonny sees a vision of woman, who when she turns and faces him is Carly. While Sonny is lying on the floor and is engulfed in flames and trapped, Mike tells Sonny he can die as “Mike” or live on as the man he truly is, Sonny. It is then Sonny calls out “Carly!”
So, what did you think of the episode? Do you think Carly and Jason will get married? Will Sonny tells Nina he remembers? What will Nina’s next move be? Are you glad Sonny seems to have his memory back? The episode featured another strong performance by Maurice Benard. Share your thoughts below.
