Performer of the Week: Nia Peeples
A woman stunned and broken by the sudden betrayal of her husband – vulnerable, angry, frustrated, hurt, Nia Peeples played all these emotions to perfection. Temporarily Karen was a character worth investing in, ironically on her last appearance on the show.
From the very first moment in the courtroom to the very last as the elevator door closed on her final appearance on Y&R, Peeples seemed to hit all the right notes. The richly deserved tongue-lashing (and bitch slapping) Karen gave Neil was ovation worthy – it’s a shame she didn’t save a bit of that for Tyra.
There was a certain fire and energy to her scenes that hadn’t been as apparent in her previous episodes, which begs the question, was Peeples completely underutilized? Was the Karen character just in need of better writing? Whatever the case, she did an excellent job and really pulled it out for her final farewell.

NP did do the damn thing.
Karen had great potential as a character and TIIC messed her up for Tired (aka Tyra).
I was crying right along with her in that elevator, because it meant, this is probably the last time we will like watching the Winters.
Bravissima! Way to bring the house down and leave with dignity. Something tells me, a revival could come down the line. She has shown phoenix like qualities in the past.
Thanks for the stars M!
Nia was phenomenal in her last scenes. She really handed Neil his ass. Its mazes me that TAIC are letting go and for what? To build a Neil/Tyra love story? good luck with that…
She will truly be missed. Hopefully she’ll land another gig…
Thanks Aubby
I could not agree more. Nia was the performer of the week!
It’s funny, but the current iic tend to write an actor’s best material, when they’re on their way out. Look at Brad. DD had some of his best material in the weeks leading up to Brad’s demise.
