Y&R: Car accident and flashback make Nick 'Restless'

I don't care how contrived some of this s-h-i-t is, I'm just glad it's happening. It's time to end that quad from hell and get Nick the hell away from Phyllis. Maybe this can turn Phyllis back into the desperate lunatic she's supposed to be, while reuniting Sharon and Nick? I hope so!

I'm glad they didn't forget or overlook Nick's memory loss. Will be nice to see him move on. The writing for Victoria and Adam is good, but Nick has been a forgettable frat boy lately, IMO.

[Darn]

They've barely acted like he's had memory loss since he showed up alive. And two years ago? Wasn't that just last year or have I really missed that much Y&R?

[DeeeDee]

It was last year.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

It was a year ago, Hinsey made a mistake.

[Darn]

That's what I thought, thanks.

Isn't the anniversary of Cassie's death soon?

[MTSRocks]

^^^It's playing out right now.

Sigh. Tell me Nick is not going to remember switching Summer's paternity (something that has been widely speculated, but that I do not wish to believe).

Nick is the only male on the show with integrity, and I do not wish to lose this.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Please, it's a soap opera. Plenty of characters have made horrible decisions and have been redeemed. For the case of better storyline opportunities, Summer needs to be Jack's kid. Nick and Phyllis have run their course, in fact, they lost whatever made them special when they became a legitimate couple.

If this ends the quad from hell, makes Summer Jack's kid, breaks Nick and Phyllis up, then I am all for it. They can focus on redeeming the wrong Nick caused in a later storyline.

[dragonflies]

Yeah Summer being Jack's would open up alot of storyline possibities

[JackPeyton]

Summer needs to stay Nick's.

Nick isnt the type to do such a thing.

[MarkH]

Exactly. And Nick and Phyllis have plenty of story potential.

All they need to do is have a new woman covet Nick, and Phyllis will go into deep insecurity mode. And when that happens, she gets evil.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

All that went out the window when they had Nick receive the paternity results and NO ONE ELSE SAW THEM. Also, Nick was undergoing the destruction of his marriage to Sharon and loosing Cassie at the time. People in horrible situations tend to do horrible things, at least in the soap world. It opens up a lot more storyline opportunities if Nick isn't Summer's father.

I'm sorry, but Josh and Michelle lost whatever chemistry they had when Phyllis and Nick's affair ended. Those two are boring together, and its not just the writing. They both just drift through scenes with one another, as if they don't care.

Sharon and Nick belong together, 10 years or marriage and the connection they have just doesn't go away like that. Phyllis needs to move on and find a man that challenges her, and Nick doesn't do that. Phyllis used to be a deeply complicated character who battled between good and evil, not so much anymore. Latham reduced her to a happy housewife, which doesn't make for good soap opera.

[dragonflies]

^ Yeah that

[DeeeDee]

Nick?

Integrity?

LMAO!

Bingo.

Yep.

And they are everything that is, was & continues to be wrong with Y&R.

Indeed.
