Members KMan101 Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Didn't the show pull the plug on Neil and Victoria back around 1999? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 It sure not a myth or overblown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 It was embarrassing. They hardly let Neil touch her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 But the viewers had to stop it before it got that far. Didn't they say that they was getting death threats? Or at least that what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted December 12, 2016 Members Share Posted December 12, 2016 Kristoff & Heather definitely got hate mail. Y&R pulled the plug on the pairing after six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeeeDee Posted December 13, 2016 Members Share Posted December 13, 2016 That pairing never made any sense anyway. Neil breaks up with his wife because she wants a career only to hook up with the most career driven woman on the show? Victoria hooks up with a man who works closely for her father (despite hating her father interfering in her love life) while continuing to flirt with her ex who she (and Neil) knew she was never truly over the whole time?

Members YRfan23 Posted December 13, 2016 Members Share Posted December 13, 2016 I personally would have been happy if the show stuck with Nikki/Neil, or hopefully if Tricia Cast returns, they finally do Nina/Neil.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted December 13, 2016 Members Share Posted December 13, 2016 Neil/Nikki only became a thing a couple of years ago. If Y&R was gonna hook Neil up with anyone back then it should've been Olivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted December 13, 2016 Members Share Posted December 13, 2016 It basically amounted to Neil giving Victoria support throughout her pregnancy/hold her hand, while it gave Neil some screentime/story. If they weren't going to do anything with it, this could have been achieved via a friendship and perhaps they could have given Tony & Victoria a chance. And yet they draaaaaaaaagged that out, and eventually did nothing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 13, 2016 Members Share Posted December 13, 2016 I dunno. I think KSJ and TC work well together and have great friend chemistry, but I wouldn't want to see Nina and Neil hook up. Of all the pairings Neil had since Dru, I liked Karen the most. But she left the show just when they were reaching their potential. And Nia Peeples was a fine actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeeeDee Posted December 13, 2016 Members Share Posted December 13, 2016 Y&R missed the boat with Tony/Sharon & Tony/Victoria. Nick Scotti had loads of chemistry with both Heather Tom & Sharon Case (and by that point had established Tony as a solid non-psychotic rival for Nick). However Tony's story essentially ended once Nick Scotti left (Jay Bontatibus was just a placeholder to play out pre-planned story beats). Neil & Olivia FINALLY getting together should've been a HUGE moment for both characters but Y&R screwed them to prop Shemar & his latest pairing (Alex) flushing 10 years of intense character development down the toilet in the process.

Members DeeeDee Posted December 13, 2016 Members Share Posted December 13, 2016 Like every actress of color on Y&R NP was only paired with Neil because she happened to be of color. She was also quite critical of the show & abruptly left when it was clear the writers had no idea what they were doing. And yet the show had him & Angell Conwell all but having intercourse in the Athletic Club dining area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
