The only thing that worries me about this is what does it mean for Jill? Despite the closeness in age, Nichols looks a lot younger than Russ. It's going to be hard to see

Gloria battle Jill for his money

If this show decides to move him away from Jill (which I hope they don't), I would prefer he goes with Ashley, Lauren, or Olivia. Phyllis and Sharon (no disrespect to the actresses) need to be put on the backburner.

Weren't Davidson and Nichols paired on Santa Barbara?

Very unsuccessfully....

They could do a little chem test to see if playing different characters would help. If it doesn't there is always Jill, Lauren, or Olivia. Or how about Victoria? How would JT react to his new mentor being with his wife/soon to be ex-wife? Would he backstab Tucker? Anyone but Phyllis, Sharon, or Gloria.

They won't give any stories to Olivia, or Lauren.

I guess they could give one to Ashley (she is so frosty I wonder if she will have chemistry with a leading man), but I wonder if they will always have her center around Victor.

I think Jill and Gloria are probably out in terms of a real relationship with Tucker. The show probably isn't going to write love stories for women they deem too old.

Of course I don't even know how they will see Tucker. This show worships Victor/EB and any hint of a threat to him is smacked down, hard. We could be looking at the male version of Patty Jane, for all we know.

Yea right The man is always Machismo while the woman is delicate and fragile. Did ya see Hogan's version of crazy Patch? Nothing like the nutso female characters who are either nympho's or obessively fragile either way always subservient to a man somehow

I rather Tucker not be Katherine long lost child but maybe JT father.

He can't be both? ;-)

Wouldn't it be hysterical, though, if Tucker turned out to be, like, Sheila or something, lol?

Maria Arena Bell: "Didn't see THAT coming, did ya?!"

Us: "No, Maria, we didn't."

Then Mac would have been devirginized and impregnated by her cousin. Poor Mac already went with the whole Oh my God I was in love with my cousin thing with Billy.

That's why I said I rather Tucker not be Katherine long lost child. JT needs something more to him then being married Bortoria. I'm still trying to figureout why they hook them up. Oh, that's right because actors was with each other in real life.

SN is a very versatile actor -- he's done most of the NBC shows and of course GH. It will be interesting to see him on a Bell soap. Also, he's foxy. Jill needs some decent totty, not any old gramps thrown her way.

Agree, they could be delicious. The most delicious pairing since Jill & Larry Warton or Jill or my personal favorite Jill & TempKeith Dennison.

Eh who am I kidding if the show is still garbage I'll be watcing decent clips or clips for reference on youtube still

This is not going to work - the Tucker character was fashioned as a replacement for Victor. Victor's back, which means the show will be stuffed with three senior tycoons: Jack, Victor, and Tucker. Ain't gonna work. So what if he is Katherine's kid? Boring. Pair him with Jill or Ashley or Sharon? Boring. He will be superfluous or worse, will take Peter Bergman's airtime and story.

Jack has been phased out to the point where they can just isolate him with the Patty/Emily stuff and wringing his hands over the Abbotts. They already put Billy in to replace Jack, but he's too young and reckless to be a threat to Victor. This guy will be more of a threat, although not too much, because then Braeden would probably kick up a fuss.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is just a psycho who is gone within a year.

I guess the real test will be when they move him to a story beyond Jill, since I think both Jack and Jill will be gone soon enough.

I say pair him with Nikki. Now that we know V&N aren't riding off into the sunset, it's time to break them up again.
