Nick Newman Goes on a Christmas Journey!
Nick is the latest The Young and the Restless character to get a stand-alone episode nod. This is Nick Newman’s fourth overall.
It seems like ever since The Underground burned to the ground Nick Newman just hasn’t been able to get (and keep) a secure footing in his life.
On the outside everything looks like really good, right? He is handsome. He’s rich. Yes, monogamy might not be his strong point but in comparison to your average soap opera character, he’s a pretty good guy. LOL. But things still just haven’t been clicking for him.
And even so more as of late, Nick’s been struggling to find his way and his place. He and Phyllis recently broke up. He’s at odds with his family, particularly his sister Victoria, his best friend, over his stance on her marriage to Ashland.
Adam is back in the fold working with Victor. Victoria is running Newman Enterprises (Newman Locke) with Nikki by her side. Nick is feeling like the odd man out. Morrow puts it this way. “Nick is being written like he is this wanderer and this is new for him.”
After “St. Nick” plays Santa for some well deserving kids, he falls asleep at Crimson Lights (still decked out in his Santa suit.) During Nick’s dream journey of reflection, he has several meaningful conversations with some of the most important people in his life like Nikki, Noah and Faith. Nick is searching for clarity about “what he wants from life and what it will take for him to do that.”
Will Nick finally get some answers? Will this be a turning point for him? Morrow says, “He’s made a lot of mistakes and he will either figure it out or sink further.” We have our fingers crossed Nick will figure it out!
Are you excited for Nick’s stand-alone episode? What answers do you think Nick needs to find?
