Jill (as now played by the great, and always welcomed back for recurring visits, Jess Walton) will certainly recognize Nikki’s efforts the moment she sees them. One would think that Walton’s character won’t like Mia because she’s Nikki’s friend.
In the meantime, as longtime fans wait for that retro wink, they’ll continue watching Nikki try to play Mia for whatever information can be gleaned from Rey (Jordi Vilasuso). At this point in the storyline, the coverup crew will take whatever case tidbits can be had.
Gonzalez is a terrific addition to the cast. The character she’s playing fits right in for various reasons, one of which is the Nikki-Mia friendship pairing.
Sure, Scott’s character is initially using Mia in a typical Newman manner. But this jumping off point presents obvious opportunity for the two to become genuine friends. The fact that Nikki is wanting the bottle also can establish Mia as her fixer and future defender, further indebting one to the other.
The Katherine-Jill duo developed into a fierce, extended battle. However, both ladies ended their friendship on truly fond terms. In contrast, Katherine’s love for Nikki was like a mother-daughter connection.
