“It was probably one of the most fulfilling moments I’ve had on this show in 34 years,” said Scott of the episodes that aired on Monday, November 11 and Tuesday, November 12, which found Nikki hosting a celebration in honor of the United States Veterans. Meanwhile, Walton admitted that she played a role in the development of the Cane storyline, which introduced fans to of daytime drama to Daniel Goddard‘s Cane Ashby. “It wasn’t actually mine. I don’t know if he wants to be named by name, [but] it was one of our soap opera magazine writers. I was talking to him one day and we were trying to find out some reason that would put Jeannie Cooper [Katherine Chancellor] and me at odds with each other again because it was getting altogether too lovey dovey.” She added, “I came up with the storyline that she [Katherine] had stolen Phillip…That Phillip wasn’t really dead and that she had stolen that baby at birth and that’s how we came up with Cane on that whole thing.” In response, Thomas Scott said, “I would never even dare to suggest a storyline.”
