‘The Young and The Restless’ (Y&R): Forced Couples Fail – Do Sage and Nick Lack Romantic Chemistry – What About Sharon and Dylan?

“The Young and the Restless” fans are sick and tired of the writers forcing a relationship between two people without giving the viewers a chance to warm up to them. At the time, it seems like almost all the relationships on the show except Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam (Justin Hartley) and Victor (Eric Braeden) and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) are completely forced. How do you feel about the forced couples?

Sage (Kelly Sullivan) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) are the number-one couple for whom fans complain about the forced interaction. The couple seems to utter that they love each other every chance they get, but they lack chemistry between them. Nick has a history of being the hero to save a damsel in distress Fans were convinced that was the basis of his connection to Sage. He felt he SAVED her from Gabriel. Boy, will he kick himself when he learns her dark secret?

Sharon (Sharon Case) and Dylan (Steve Burton) were better friends than a couple. They forced them together after Jessica Collins announced she was leaving the show – and Avery would leave town. Dylan and Sharon have plenty of fans; however, many fans complain their union sparks any real romance.

Abby (Melissa Ordway) and Stitch (Sean Carrigan) lack any romance between them. It seems unnatural and very much forced. A few weeks ago, it looked like they were going to break up, and fans were excited. They thought maybe Y&R would pair him with Ashley – who he has a spark with on screen. They fell flat on that one, and they reconciled.

Fans of the show aren’t sure the new head scribe can write a compelling romance on the show. Chuck Pratt Jr. seems not to understand how to build a characters’ love stories. He throws characters together and prays that the fans embrace them. If not, he just writes a terrible breakup and cashes in on the drama from the fallout.

It would be nice if the show would for once wrote an amazing love story, one that made fans tune in just to see how it turned out. What couples do you think the writers are forcing on fans? Do you like Sage and Nick together? Do you think Dylan and Sharon have any on-screen chemistry?
