B&B’s Crew Morrow and Y&R’s Joshua Morrow Talk Parallel Soap Lives, Hope for a Crossover Story and Tease What’s Ahead for Will and Nick
The comparisons of The Bold and the Beautiful’s Crew Morrow (Will Spencer) to his dad, The Young and the Restless, Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman) are pretty endless. Fans have compared often the way they speak, to not only how they look so much alike, but the parallels to their big breaks in show business landing on sister soaps, and their on-screen debuts at 19 and 20-years old, respectively.
Now, for the first time in a joint sit-down livestream interview on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, the Morrows chatted about their lives in front of the camera and off, some of the ‘musts’ to playing a successful leading man on a soap, how Joshua had previously suggested to a Y&R exec that Crew should be considered for a particular role, and how they both hope a crossover storyline will send either Will Spencer to Genoa City or Nick Newman to Los Angeles, and more.
For Crew, appearing on on a soap opera is just one facet of his burgeoning acting career. At 19, he has already racked up several movie roles, and will be featured in the forthcoming motion picture, Wildcards, where he plays a young man of privilege accused of sexually assaulting an African-American woman in her twenties, which seems a far cry from his role as young hero and mama’s boy, Will Spencer on B&B.

Crew elaborated on his film role where he plays Theodore Sterling, “It’s a commentary on the system justice and race. So there’s a lot of very serious issues in play. You’re not going to like my character, but you will like the story. My character is on trial for a crime. I’m definitely not likable.”
Meanwhile, in soap land, Joshua Morrow knows how vital a love story is for the making of a beloved couple and longevity on a soap. Just look at Nick’s enduring on-screen relationships with Sharon (Sharon Case) and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) through the years. He bestowed some advice to Crew in that department.

“I talked to him early on about that because, there’s obviously this myth. This mythical thing of chemistry. Love stories are interesting because not everybody is supposed to be with everybody. When characters find that magical thing that really makes them pop, it’s incumbent upon the portrayers, as I’ve told Crew, to let that person in. There can’t be any walls or anything,” shared Joshua. “You have to literally let them into your being. That’s how you portray falling in love. There’s really nothing more exciting to fans than a really, really great love story. Falling in love is a great story to tell from an actor standpoint. It can be really, really cool if the two people let each other in and can really sell it.”
Crew added on Will’s first love story, and working with co-star Laneya Grace as Electra, “Laneya makes it easy. She’s like such a professional actress. She’s just a pro. Those scenes come easy, I think. She’s a sweetheart. I like scenes with her.”

As B&B fans know, from the very start the series has high hopes that Will and Electra will be one of their young couples that stick. As evidence, look no further when the two characters locked eyes for the first time after Will picked up a ring off the floor at Forrester Creation while down on one knee. His dad recalls the scene, “I saw that! I said to Crew, ‘This is what I was talking about. That moment right there is what audiences will eat up, dude.’ And it was. I thought he and Laneya Grace, did it perfectly.”
On upcoming episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, Will must contend with Electra’s ex, Remy (Christian Weissmann), who is a real threat to their happiness. However, Crew teases that Will is going to be a step ahead of the guy. “Will is on to Remy. He’s up to no good,” said Morrow. As for his portrayer, Christian Weissmann, that’s a different story. “Christian is a great dude. I’m really glad he is on the show,” shares Crew. “I’m glad that they have like a new crop of younger actors with me, Laneya, Lisa Yamada (Luna) and now Christian. It’s coming together and it’s fun. I’m excited.”

However, coming up, Crew previews of his B&B alter-ego, “I think Will Spencer’s edge is going to come out here pretty soon, and you’re going to see that he is not one to mess with especially when it comes to his loved ones.”
On Y&R, Nick has been standing by Sharon, who originally believed she was responsible for the death of Heather Stevens and running Phyllis off the road with her car. Joshua shares that Nick stands by and stands up for the people he loves. “Whether it’s Sharon or Phyllis, he’s very quick to defend them to anyone,” reveals Morrow.

“Obviously this is on a much bigger scale with Ian Ward (Ray Wise) and Jordan (Colleen Zenk) and all that. But even if they’re just being attacked verbally by other characters, Nick always defends them,” Joshua adds. “That’s who he is at his core. He’s going to defend Sharon until somebody proves to him that without a shadow of a doubt, that she did these things that she confessed to, because he just doesn’t buy that this is something that she could ever possibly do despite the mountains of evidence against her. The fact that she’s confessing it doesn’t look great. I like that Nick is going to stand by her until the very end.”
Since B&B and Y&R have done several crossovers between characters over the years, will we finally see the day or the story that might have Nick Newman and Will Spencer cross paths? Both father and son say they truly hope so! “I was pressing Josh Griffith (executive producer and head writer, Y&R) to age Christian (Adam and Sage’s bio-son, who is technically being raised by Nick) with Crew. Josh was like, ‘Maybe, but we’re not ready for that.’ I’m like, “Well, somebody else is going to hire him.’ Then, B&B snatched him up. Later, I saw Brad Bell (executive producer and head writer B&B) in Monaco over the summer. We were hanging out having some drinks. I’m like, “‘Bro, you’ve got to have a crossover. We do it all the time. I want to work with my kid.’ He goes, ‘Oh, yeah! It’s a great idea. We’ll make it happen.’ Now whether that happens or not, I don’t know, but Brad seemed to think it would be a good idea.”

An enthusiastic Crew jumped in with, “My, God! That would be a dream. I would love to do that. Whether I go to Genoa City or he comes over to Los Angeles!”
In case you missed it, check out the full conversation with Joshua and Crew below.
Let us know: what have you thought of Crew’s success thus far on The Bold and the Beautiful? Do you hope a crossover will happen so real-life father/son can work together on-screen? If so, what story do you think could put Nick Newman and Will Spencer in each other’s orbit? And, are you rooting for Sharon and Nick and Electra and Will to end up together when all is said and done? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
It was a great interview; they both vibe off of each other so well.
I would LOVE for Nick to come to B&B! Have him in scenes with Heather Tom(the OG Victoria Newman) and his real-life son.
I also think Josh Morrow would SIZZLE with JMW aka Steffy Forrester.

B&B’s Sydney Bullock Weighs In on Future of Dylan and Will: ‘I Think She Can Hold on to Him for Awhile’ (Exclusive)
It appears that Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) has thus far successfully been able to swing Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) over to her side, and have him actually develop strong romantic feelings for her.
The one problem in her way is Will’s mother, Katie Logan (Heather Tom), and there is always the possibility that Will and Electra (Laneya Grace), who were each others first loves find their way back to one another.
However for now, Dylan’s portrayer, Sydney Bullock is confident that her soap opera alter ego’s got her man and that she can handle anything that can come her way Speaking on the red carpet with Michael Fairman TV at the recently completed 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards, Bullock explained where Will and Dylan’s relationship is at now on the CBS soap opera.

“Dylan is our lovable anti-hero. She’s messy, but she’s a human,” shares Bullock. Adding about keeping Will Spencer as Dylan’s guy, Sydney commented, “I think she can hold on to him for awhile. I think she’s got it in her.”
When asked how it is sharing the screen with young leading man, Crew Morrow, Sydney joked, “Crew, what a doll! It’s a hard job, my goodness! How do I do it?”

In the last few months, Bullock received an on-screen mom when General Hospital and The Young and the Restless alum, Kelly Sullivan (ex-Kate/Connie, ex-Sage, respectively) joined the show as Darcy Dylan.
“I love working with Kelly Sullivan,” said Bullock enthusiastically. “She’s always down to break down the scenes with me, and we go through so much, and she’s really like my mom on set. She’s so amazing.” Sullivan visited the Michael Fairman Channel for a live chat after her B&B debut here.
So, what’s ahead for Dylan and will be exciting? Hold the phone! Sydney explained, “Oh, man! Is it going to get exciting?! Dylan, she’s a survivor and we’re just going to keep seeing her surviving. She finds a lot of ways to do that.”
In the end, Bullock has high-praise and love for her B&B character: “I think she’s super strong and I’m really honored to play her. I’ve been rooting for her, and as for the fans, I think they will be (rooting for her) too.”

‘General Hospital’ Favorite Amanda Setton Talks Brook Lynn and Chase’s Divorce, Jude Jacks, Baby Phoebe, and What’s Next (Exclusive)
On General Hospital, Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) life as she knows it has turned upside down. First, she and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed divorce papers while in the Dominican Republic. As much as they loved each other, they just couldn’t get past all the trust issues between them.
Then, right after that, Jude Jax (Wil Traval) shows up at the Q mansion and demands to see his daughter, baby Phoebe! Brook Lynn is thrown for a complete loop. Is this guy claiming to be the biological father of Delilah Wilson’s daughter, which had been adopted by Brook Lynn and Chase, telling the truth? Brook Lynn is on her way to getting to the bottom of his claims.
Meanwhile, Brook Lynn’s portrayer, Amanda Setton just celebrated her first-ever Daytime Emmy nomination, and in the very competitive Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category. While Amanda ultimately did not take home the gold statuette, that honor went to The Young and the Restless’ longtime veteran, Beth Maitland (Traci Abbott), she was in great spirits when Michael Fairman TV caught up with her on the red carpet.

THE END OF THE LINE FOR BROOK LYNN AND CHASE
When asked how she felt about Brook Lynn being the first (between her and Chase) to put pen to paper on their divorce papers, Settton recalled, “She did. But I’m like, ‘Did she or did he kind of?’ They did it (both of them).”
Getting a new co-star and cast member can go one of two ways, great or not so great, but Amanda had nothing but high praise for Wil Traval’s entrance and performance as Jude Jacks!
THE ARRIVAL OF JUDE JAX
“Wil Traval is fabulous to work with. His debut was so amazing the other day, wasn’t it? He was just such a force and everybody’s faces and reactions when he says that he’s, ‘Jude Jacks, Jerry’s son.’ It was so good and well-played! Wil’s awesome. I’m excited for what’s to come. We’re going to have a lot of stuff together.”

According to Amanda, Brook Lynn will have her hands full in the months to come: “There’s a lot of stuff coming down the pike with Baby Phoebe. Will Chase and Brooklyn work together? Will they not? Is it really Jude’s daughter? Lots of questions!”
GRATITUDE TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY HER PEERS
For Setton, being an Emmy nominee meant the world to her, and to finally be acknowledged by her peers in a television career that spanned daytime and primetime including her performances as Kimberly Andrews on One Life to Live. But most importantly for her work in 2025 in the emotional rollercoaster of a story where Brook Lynn learns Gio (Giovanni Mazza) is her biological son.
“It means so much to me,” expressed Amanda. “It really does. I keep using this line, but I really mean it. It feels like a big hug. You know, not everybody who votes for these categories works with you. It’s really a very humbling feeling to know that your work actually touched someone and moved someone enough for them to vote for you. And getting to play the storyline that I got to play was such a privilege. It really was, with the actors I got to play it with. To be a little rewarded for it feels so nice.”
You can check out our chat with Amanda Setton on the red carpet at the 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards below. Then make sure to check out all the Michael Fairman Channel red carpet interviews from daytime’s biggest night here.
So, do you think Brook Lynn and Chase will unite to keep baby Phoebe away from Jude Jacks? What do you think of Wil Traval’s performances thus far as Jude? How do you see this story for the custody of baby Phoebe playing out? Were you rooting for Amanda to take home the Supporting Actress gold? Let us know via the comment section below.

B&B’s Crew Morrow Talks Will and Dylan Romance, Heather Tom’s Success, and Dad Joshua Morrow’s Inspiring ‘Y&R’ Performance (Exclusive)
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Crew Morrow (Will Spencer) is one of the brightest younger male leads in the world of daytime drama. Crew has quite the soap pedigree being the son of The Young and the Restless’ long-running star, Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman), but similarities aside, is forging his own path and success.
Currently on the CBS soap opera, Will is falling for Dylan (Sydney Bullock), after continued interference (by many) put a wrecking ball through this relationship with Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace). Now, it seems Will has softened towards Dylan, despite his mother, Katie Logan’s (Heather Tom) warning of mistrust of the young woman.
Michael Fairman TV caught up with Crew on the red carpet at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards where he weighed-in on: the future of Will/Dylan, finding out his on-screen mom, Heather Tom, had the opportunity to become the winningest actress in Daytime Emmy history, and his thoughts on his dad’s touching performances in Nick’s drug addiction storyline.

WILL’S SECOND CHAPTER AT LOVE
When asked if it’s real love brewing for Will with Dylan, Morrow expressed, “Love is a tricky thing. He does love her. It’s been a journey for Will moving on from Electra. That’s always the most difficult thing is acceptance, and the courage to move on, because it’s so easy to be comfortable with someone. Everybody has fallen in love. Everybody knows what it feels like to be in love.”
Crew added, “And that was Will’s first love and as it was Electra’s, as well. So, we’re in a new chapter for Will. He’s found new love and not without its own difficulties. because now he’s got to convince his mother (Katie) that Dylan is not a bad egg.”
Speaking of momma Logan, Crew was surprised to learn that on-screem mom, after winning six gold statuettes, was in the running for what would be be her record-breaking 7th on Emmy night! Heather’s career has spanned roles on The Young and the Restless (ex-Victoria Newman) to One Life to Live (ex-Kelly Cramer) to The Bold and the Beautiful.

LEARNING YOUR TV MOM IS ONE STEP AWAY FROM THE EMMY RECORD BOOKS
“Wow. That like almost makes me tear up,” an emotional Morrow shared. “That’s so amazing. I’m so proud of her. I came upon a scene of her and my father from Y&R. It’s just the weirdest thing in the world, because I do see the resemblance, and my dad had some swag back then. But, he doesn’t anymore (laughs), but he used to have swag! I’m just kidding, he does!”
Next, Crew shared a behind the scenes story of an exchange that went down between father and son; just before Joshua Morrow took to the sound stage to perform the scenes where Nick admits to his father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) that he has a drug addiction.
Crew recalled, “In the drug addiction storyline, I was just telling my dad, it it was one of the most inspiring pieces of television that I’ve seen in a long time. And I don’t know if it’s because I’m so close with him, and I feel a lot of the same things that he does, but the scenes where he confesses that he has a drug issue to Eric Braeden as Victor were amazing.”

CREW AND JOSHUA MORROW TALK THROUGH NICK’S ADMISSION TO VICTOR
The Nick/Victor moment is one of the most memorable moments from the soaps thus far in 2026. Crew shared just how proud of his dad he truly was. “I was with him that day and we were talking about it and I was like, ‘What’s the process like?’ And we just began talking about it and I asked him, I go, ‘Dad, what if I had a drug issue? What if I was addicted?’ He looks at me and he says nothing and that was it. Then, I saw him go out to set and perform that scene, and he looked at me the same way that he looked at Eric Braeden, and it was just really special. He was incredible.”
Check out our conversation below with Crew Morrow from the 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards now on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Then let us know: are you rooting for Will and Dylan at this point as a couple? What did you think about Crew’s reaction to learning some Emmy factoids about his on-screen mother, Heather Tom, plus the exchange Crew had with his dad Joshua Morrow, before the moment Nick admits to Victor he has a serious drug addiction?
