Audra and Daniel on The Young and the Restless? Well, that didn’t take long!

Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) and Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) finally got some extended one-on-one scenes together, and Y&R fans are already discussing the possibility of a new Genoa City pairing.

The scenes aired in Canada on Friday, November 13, ahead of the scheduled U.S. broadcast on Monday, November 16. And judging by the reactions on social media, viewers certainly didn’t waste any time deciding whether these two might have something worth exploring.

Soaps love a good chemistry test, and fans are convinced that’s what just went down at The Shadow Room while Audra and Daniel traded barbs. After all, these two are currently single and have both experienced their fair share of romantic complications.

Audra used to date Nate—he’s now with Stephanie. She also had a fling with Kyle—who is currently hiding out and bedding Victoria (a mess that’s about to blow up at some point). Before that, she was with Noah, and he’s not even in town anymore.

Daniel, meanwhile, has quite the romantic history himself. His past relationships/flings include Tessa, Lily, Heather, Amber, and Daisy.

So, neither character is exactly short on relationship baggage!

Y&R Viewers Have Plenty to Say About the Potential Pairing

Naturally, fans headed straight to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts. And some are already pretty enthusiastic about the possibility.

  • One viewer called out the classic soap setup right away: “Audra and Daniel seem to hate each other next thing we know they are a couple! #YR”
  • A fan named Geena broke down Daniel’s exact type: “Daniel has two distinct types: beautiful, ambitious women who are out of his league, and rebellious women who follow their own rules. Audra meets both, which is why he would worship her. #YR”
  • Another admitted the off-screen energy is already working on them: “Y’all stop hyping me on Daniel and Audra, those selfies Zuleyka took with Graz at the Emmys are working on me #YR (if they don’t do NoDra again of course).”
  • One viewer noticed the way Daniel was looking at her: “Daniel kinda lookin at Audra like he is smitten/intrigued. And the chemistry between the actors seems to be there ! I might be on board, since they clearly aint putting her back with Nate any time soon #YR”

Some Fans Are Already Talking About Hate-Sex Chemistry!

  • A fan named Jennifer didn’t mince words about their vibe: “I actually do see some sparks between Daniel and Audra. Not sure if they’d do well as a long term pairing, but they’re definitely giving good hate sex energy. #YR”
  • Another pointed out how much family chaos this could cause: “Everyone knows how I feel about Audra but I actually liked the scenes with her and Daniel. I definitley saw some chemistry. I hope they test that out more becaue there is a lot of potential there given how Phyllis and Summer feel about her. Lucy could also be a factor #YR”
  • One fan brought up Daniel’s track record: “Audra & Daniel? Go for it. He used to be married to Amber Moore. This wouldn’t be his first time with a bad girl.”

Not Everyone Is Convinced About Audra and Daniel

  • Still, not everyone loved how Daniel acted during their chat: “It’s weird for Daniel to be so judgmental towards Audra and to bring up such ancient history. I guess there needs to be some fireworks to see if there’s chemistry? #yr”
  • And another viewer summed up why they’re intrigued: “Too early to tell, but Audra and Daniel intrigue me. He’s got plenty of experience in handling crazy, and is already seeing more to her than just the biatch she shows to the world. And Phyllis is going to hate her. #YR”

Of course, not every viewer was ready to jump aboard the potential pairing. But if these two actually hook up, watching Phyllis and Summer (if and when she returns) lose their minds over it is going to be pure fun.

What do you think of Audra and Daniel together? Are you into it, or is it a hard pass? Let us know in the comments.
