That nothing will change. He got caught in the trap and now will be paired with Sage … another woman. After he just got done saying how much trouble “women” are.

Why do these stand alone episodes never amount to anything? The character never changes.

Get ready for Sick.

I thought it was boring.

Disapointed that the big return of Amy was for this one episode. I was looking forward to a story in the present and not Nick’s drunken hallucinations.

I kept waiting for personal character growth for Nick, or him taking responsibility in the failures of his relationships, but I didn’t feel like that ever came. It was a neat idea, but I feel like it just highlighted all the weak parts of Nick, not redeeming qualities to make us like him. Also thought we got a taste of the weaker start of Morrow’s acting back in the “Amy” days. Some rough scenes to watch there. But at least he’s evolved and become more natural as an actor I now enjoy. Yeah, this looks like Nick will get wrapped… Read more »

That was hard to watch…totally boring.
An entire hour of Nick. I was like What is this?

All it was was a bunch of old clips.

totally boring….he’s not an interesting-enough character to carry an episode like that..hopefully he will continue to evolve.

very boring. i thought it was a dud. i almost fell asleep watching. y&r is a snoozefest right now. lets hope the new head writer can give us some exciting stories.

A total waste of an entire episode. I don’t think it accomplished much and shouldn’t have been shown during November sweeps for sure.

What a snore! Very disappointing episode!

The idea was good, but the writing was horrible– it did nothing to really deal with Nicholas issues and in the end it just came across as dull and a waste of time. Since all of this was in his head, he was basically seeing and hearing his version of events and who these women were like in his life. I thought recreating the scenes with Phyllis didn’t add to the episode– they should have dumped all the flashback and written some meaty dialogue instead— like Nick being an adult child of alcoholic no doubt played a big factor in… Read more »

y&r is a mess and has been for a while now…Want to save it??? WHO KILLED VICTOR story!! A real mystery with a surprising result and people will watch….

Well, I liked it but I was hoping for a little more self reckoning.
The Sharon slamming is driving me nuts His father is the creepy one for marrying his son’s ex wife, not Sharon. And then he treated her like utter crappolla. Yes, she burned their house down during one of her manic episodes but let’s face it–The Newmans have treated Sharon like crap since day one and way before she earned their wrath.

How Boring! I’ve watched Y&R for nearly 35 years, and cannot remember a more boring episode. The character will not change. If the writers want the viewers to see a change, then they should have focused on many future episodes where Nick honors his promise to Sharon; understands her mental illness and how it played a major part in the DNA Test Tampering, and work through the issue together.. And what an idea: a daytime super couple working together on a problem created out of mental illness!

I liked it. I have only been watching Y&R for a few years (Cassie had died and Nick was with Phyllis; a different Lilly; Drew went over the cliff) so I liked getting all that Nick history.

I also thought that Josh Morrow was excellent. He showed me a young man who is struggling with his choices.

Good one for me.

I loves me some Joshua Morrow but not even he could save this awful script.

The only good part was Jennifer Gareis’ Grace — Genoa City needs her full-time.

1st and foremost I want to say the dog was the star of the show! No insult to the actors, just a compliment to the mutt. Adorable. What’s the name? Bicardi? I’m kind of an outsider as GH is my lifelong soap. I have watched the show off & on through the years & quite a bit more recently, so I may miss some of the history that others can draw on. I thought the episode was an interesting idea & I applaud the show for taking a risk, at least a risk for them. I don’t expect them to… Read more »

I knew that dog would connect Nick to Adam. I also figured out since it was all about Nick’s ex’s that this would be how they would introduce Sage to Nick through her and the dog. I dont mind Nick and Sage simply because it gives us a new couple. Nick and Sharon are over. However, that doesnt mean Sharon should be drug through town. I want Sharon to end up with a new character that makes Nick jealous.

There was no point. …..except maybe everybody else got a day off. Only thing I can think of.

I only recently started watching Y&R so it was a good episode to catch up on Nick and all of the women in his life. I used to like him a lot more before I saw that he’s been quite a tomcat, and not able to live up to his “I love you” with any of them And now he’s doing the same with Sharon. Not saying she’s an angel, but “it’s all her fault” a minute after Nick says nothing will keep up apart again, and i will always be there for you.

“OMG” please do not, pair him with the ultimate find of Serial… Kelly Sullivan every thread on this blog…. reads BORING LOL… was that for Joshua Morrow… never evolved past ALL his relationships and his ascending and dethroning once and for all his Father…. and rightfully take his place at Newman Enterprises heck… there’s not even an interesting thread to share about his relationship with Nikki and Victoria Nick has plateaued… and this has been going on for years his best is gone…. Michelle Stafford to waste time on him with Sage… is purely production prod and attempt to rekindle… Read more »

BORING – just like other stand-alone episodes. A wasted hour.

Patrick, Exactly what I mean. As I said all the Newman’s would go nuts. It would bring back memories of Cassie to Nick & Sharon. Billy & Victoria would remember their loss. Jack wouldn’t just be worried about Phyllis but remember Summer is like a daughter to him. Fenmore would go nuts because he always had a crush on her,and who knows maybe Abby would go back to the naked airhead she was riding around on the white horse thinking she was Lady Gidiva. Oh where we could go with this but back to reality they wont get rid of… Read more »

Bring Grace back, she could go after Victor and make Nikki drink even more. Please get rid of summer, can’t stand her!!

Laurie, I agree with everything you said about Victor & Phyllis. They never seem to pay for their scheming. Sharon is kind & considerate when she is on her meds. She did help Summer a lot. Summer is beginning to sound like her mother who is evil. So is Victor!

I came across an Victoria-centric episode. I had to stop watching 10 minutes in, it was that boring.

I thought it totally sucked!
It was like the Y&R version of Scrooge with christmas past.
Grace was totally annoying with her, “i’m available”. It was funny the first time she said it, then she had to grind it into the ground.
I muted all the sappy wedding vows that we all know meant nothing.
Also thought it ridiculous that nick is wandering around at night in Wisc, in the winter, in shirt sleeves.
Why was there a bear trap out there? Traps for Bears have been illegal for years.

Episode was just okay. Call me crazy but I just want Sharon and Nick happy for a while…I just can’t believe how awful the writing was back when it was decided Sharon could change test results…that’s ridiculous, still is and always will be. Then, they make her mentally ill so we try to understand the departure from her character. All these promises are made from Nick NO MATTER WHAT we’ll be okay. Well, so much for that, huh. I want some “love in the afternoon” for Pete’s sake. And, bring back Dru, and I mean the real Dru (Rowell) bc… Read more »

I THINK IT WAS A WASTE OF TIME. I have been watching Y & R for 20 years it has gotten VERY VERY BORING im thinking about stop watching it im tired of sharon, nickie they cry & whine too much. phyllis looks nutty, this new billy DOES NOT FIT THE PART @ ALL. He is so ugly im sorry but he is. storyline just draaagg on & on. You all is messing up BIG TIME. Dont like it no more!! BORING. I MISS THE REAL ADAM. NOW THERE.!!!!

That was a great episode. Nick is soooo responsible for his failed relationships!!! He need to forgive Sharon and work this relationship out.

I enjoyed seeing Sharon, Amy, and Grace but could have done without all the “do-over” scenes with Phyllis

Not a fan of Avery and Nick because she talks to him in a tone like he’s a kindergartener.

I can’t comment on the episode per se as I did not watch it. Nick’s behavior towards Sharon has been deplorable and I refused to waste my time watching an entire episode of that Neanderthal. I knew he wouldn’t take any responsibility where Sharon is concerned and would just blame her. Art imitating life where JM is concerned. Spent my time instead writing to Sony and CBS (not cleaning out my socks drawer).
