6. This Week’s Theme!

Y&R fans all know that Nikki and Victor Newman are the super couple glue that holds Genoa City together. What would life be like without the Moustache and his number one lady? Not as exciting as it has been! Therefore, it is no surprise that the week of May 4th will highlight their love affair, with rebroadcasted shows dating back to 1981!

5. Monday, May 4th

According to Y&R spoilers, Monday’s episode highlights Nikki’s first visit to the ranch, as she and Victor test the spark they share between them. Victor’s friend, Colonel Douglas Austin (played by actor Michael Evans – remember him?) will be featured on the episode that was originally aired on Halloween 1981. The rerun should offer some nostalgia as fans witness Nikki and Victor well before they were officially Mr. and Mrs. Newman.

Thursday’s classic Y&R show will be one from April 1998, where Nikki and Victor realize they cannot deny their chemistry (could they ever, really?)

Last but not least, Friday’s episode showcases the third marriage of Nikki and Victor, circa September 2002, as the two remarry in front of loved ones, friends, and family at the Colonnade Room.
