‘The Young and the Restless’ Spoilers: Nick Denies Interest In Chelsea – Chick’s Slow-Walk Continues

Nick (Joshua Morrow) can’t be blamed on ‘The Young and the Restless’. He’s been involved in so many romantic relationships through the years. So it’s natural that he’d slow-walk his way to a potential relationship with Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan), just as she also continues to consider him. That’s smart on both their parts, just as Y&R’s writing choice is as well.

There’s no doubt that these two characters have been written back to likability. Nick is no longer the man who abandoned Sharon (Sharon Case) all those years ago for Phyllis (then played by Michelle Stafford). And Chelsea hasn’t the grifter her mom (Anita, Catherine Bach) raised her to be in years.

This recent widower and widow are friends and yes, they are attracted to each other. They’ve known each other for awhile, have many common personality points and are raising young children. Add to those check marks, Adam’s (Justin Hartley) request that his brother look out for Connor (Gunner and Ryder Gadbois) if he wasn’t going to be around and ‘Chick’ is an enduring possibility.

Former head writer Chuck Pratt, Jr. wrote both characters toward each other, but left the option of their actual pairing up to current head writer Sally Sussman. That was a gracious and wise move on Pratt’s part.

Now that Sussman’s team is in charge there clearly has been a slow-walk toward this pairing, if it happens. The mere length of this courtship (an old-school word that still works) would allow an eventually connection to be more believable than simply having stuck Morrow’s and Egan’s characters together because Sage (Kelly Sullivan) and Adam were written out of the show. Then, add to that Chelsea’s knowledge of Christian (Jude and Ozzy McGuigen) supposedly being Adam’s biological child. That’s a nice flex of daytime storyline muscle.

Character-driven drama is clearly in vogue again in Genoa City. With that fictional reality in place, ‘Chick’ could hatch (sorry, it had to be used at least once), or fly away (sorry, again). Either choice would make sense. And what makes this still-developing plot line intriguing is that the viewers can’t truly tell what’s going to happen next.
