Oh, OK.

It's not a bad promo. I just wonder if there's so little going on this is what they have to advertise. At least have him half-naked.

[jjjg]

Avery looks too Sharon-ish for me to take this relationship seriously.

[Soapsuds]

Blah...why any woman would find Nick appealing is beyond me. New Noah is just totally wrong for the part...just blah.....I guess if we have s hitty actor playing dad ...we have a shi tty actor playing the son...sigh..

I don't agree about Robert Adamson being a bad actor. I think he's been good in the boy in love roles that I have seen. I preferred him in Lincoln Heights over Hollywood Heights because his character was better defined and the storytelling was much better to me. I was primarily blaming some of the acting in HH but now I realize that the actors were left to define their characters because the writing was incomplete and that has to be a tall order for some of those inexperienced actors.

How old is Noah supposed to be now? The thing that struck me about that clip is that Noah looks and seems more like Nick's younger brother. I know they probably see RA as perpetually youthful looking like Scott Baio or Mario Lopez but I don't think that's actually the case. I think viewers have probably grown more accustomed to seeing a 30 year old actor like Luke Perry playing a high school student but not necessarily thinking the actor looks that young but rather that the character is an older looking student.

Joshua Morrow looks young, he's 38, and just because Sharon Case and Michelle Stafford are over 40 doesn't mean he looks their age. RA is 27 and too old to play his son--no matter how young they may think RA looks. I'm sure it's more noticeable when he's not playing a lovesick teenager.

WTF with that promo?

[Taiah]

Nick the irresistible stud. TPTB are really trying to make Navery happen. Noah does look more like Nick's lil bro than his son.

That is one the first stories Josh Griffith came up with? Seriously.

I read this and for some odd reason thought of the chorus to this song:

I guess it's like whether you like this stuff or not, you're gonna like it because I'm going to make you like it.

[Cheap21]

That promo makes it seem like Im watching a middle of a crime scene

[Ms. Chandler Quartermaine]

And Avery wonders why Phyllis dislikes her so much? She is totally going to love you now that you are sleeping with her husband/father of her child.

[DRW50]

It's not even a story, really. I just keep wondering if so little was going on on Y&R at this time that the promo people had nothing else to work with.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

They've been doing these weird character-focused promos infrequently for a while now, they did one with Sharon a few weeks ago I believe where they also gave little to no story details away and focused on only one aspect of the character.

[YRBB]

Poor Nicholas--he has been relegated to being a cheap imitation of Joshua Morrow and it will never work. The more they push it to happen, the more it won't.

[DramatistDreamer]

They might as well say CAUTION: TEST COUPLE, WORK IN PROGRESS, STOP-GAP MEASURE.

Seems like it is a temporary fallback measure until they find something that works better.

Hey here's an idea, how about a 'cooling off' period for some of these characters? Both Nick and Sharon need to give the bed a rest and leave it for sleeping for now.
