‘The Young and the Restless’ Spoilers: Nick Wants Friendship with Chelsea, For Now – How Long Can ‘Chick’ Deny Attraction?

Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) shared a moment on ‘The Young and the Restless’ recently. A New Year’s Eve kiss doesn’t mean that ‘Chick’ will imminently form. But both characters are clearly moving in that direction.

Options. The lack of them means that someone can’t pick or choose who to be with at certain points in time. However, when two people aren’t looking for romance and only at each other free will choices certainly become meaningful.

Nick has been bonding with his returned son for a few months. Christian’s (Jude and Ozzy McGuigen) revival is rather miraculous. On the business side of his life, Nick is allowing Noah (Robert Adamson) to handle The Underground.

Chelsea’s husband was killed in September. He previously died in a fiery SUV crash in January 2014. Yes, it’s possible to write, or read those true sentences back-to-back because this is daytime drama that’s being referenced.

It’s been very hard for Chelsea to carry on after losing Adam (Justin Hartley) for a second time. She’s done a fine job masking her feelings and raising Connor (Gunner and Ryder Gadbois). Focusing on her business (Chelsea 2.0) also affords a needed distraction.

Will new co-executive producer and head writer Sally Sussman follow through on former co-executive producer and head writer Chuck Pratt, Junior’s telegraphed plan to have ‘Chick’ form? It’s obvious that pairing was his idea.

The choice to build this relationship does make storyline sense in early 2017, as both character’s children are cousins. So there’s a natural cause for ongoing interaction between these families. Plus, Nick is following through on his promise to Adam where Connor is concerned.

As devoted viewers recall, Adam asked his brother for a personal favor when he believed he’d be spending up to thirty years in prison for the murder of Constance Bingham (Sally Kellerman). Adam’s escape from the pen, as orchestrated by Victor (Eric Braeden), Chloe’s (Elizabeth Hendrickson) dart gun shot into him and other as yet unconfirmed circumstances harshly adjusted the reasons for Adam’s departure.

All items noted now give Chelsea and Nick an opportunity to become more than friends. Whether they take it will likely soon be shown.
