‘Y&R’s’ Joshua Morrow Talks Lawsuits and his Desire for an Addiction Storyline for Nicholas Newman

'Y&R's' Joshua Morrow Talks Lawsuits and his Desire for an Addiction Storyline for Nicholas Newman

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — In an interview with Soap Opera Network, "" star Joshua Morrow (Nicholas Newman) took the time to talk about the outcome of the arbitration storyline set to air on the Tuesday, March 8 episode of the CBS soap, but he also sheds light on which storyline he'd like to tackle at some point in the future.

Morrow, who joined "Y&R" in June 1994, has found his character dealing with the rape of his high school sweetheart (Sharon, Sharon Case), the death of his adopted daughter (Cassie, Camryn Grimes), a divorce from two wives (Sharon and Phyllis, ) and multiple kids, but what storyline has Morrow not played on "The Young and the Restless," but wishes he could act out in the future? "I guess something along the addiction phase. I don't think that Nick has ever really had a problem. He seems to have a wandering eye with the ladies, so one could definitely describe that as an addiction, but something addictive. I think that would be kind of fun just to see Nick fall apart a little bit. I'm always interested in the people who get to bare their sole like that on air, so I think that would be kind of cool."

While the the dynamics are completely different, what does the actor think viewers, who might be going through a similar situation, be able to take from the arbitration storyline taking place between Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and his kids? "I think first and foremost that honesty must prevail. Victor has proven to be incapable of being honest to his children, which is very peculiar because the character is written where he always cares about his family. He's willing to do anything, but he sure makes some very questionable decisions about being forthright with them. I guess honesty and some compromise," said Morrow. "With Nick and Victor you've got two very headstrong people who don't really seem to want to bend on this. Once Nick joined this thing it became pretty serious and it carried a lot of weight to this lawsuit. I guess things like this happen in real life where the children are after their father's legacy and trying to carve out their own niche financially, but it is tough for me to think that children could go this far with their parent. It is a television show. It is dramatized to a very serious degree. I can't imagine families acting like this."

    Debbi Morgan Contributes to ‘Saving Our Daughters’ Series

    Debbi Morgan Contributes to 'Saving Our Daughters' Series

    (Soap Opera Network) — “‘s” Debbi Morgan gets personal for a very good cause.

    Curtis J. Benjamin helms the “Saving Our Daughters” book series which features thoughts, stories and letters from renowned and predominantly African-America female psychologists, executives, entertainers, entrepreneurs as well as everyday mothers and in some cases fathers. Self esteem, superiority and inferiority surrounding skin color, and eating disorders are a few subjects touched on in the “Saving Our Daughter” series. “Saving Our Daughters” strives to touch the lives of young females, African American or not, facing these complicated issues. The 5th Edition of the series, which was released on February 15, takes on the most relevant current issue facing teens today: Bullying. “All My Children’s” Debbi Morgan joins writer Maya Angelou, singers Janet Jackson and Tiffany Evans, actresses Alfre Woodard and Anika Noni Rose to name a few to share personal letters and personal stories of bullying in “Saving Our Daughters: Who Will Save the Little Girl?” in hopes of helping the many female youths facing bullying as we speak. Morgan also received the distinction of sharing the cover of the latest edition of the series.

    The following is Morgan’s powerful contribution to the Foreword of “Saving Our Daughters: Who Will Save the Little Girl?”:

    To Whom It May Concern:

    I was very small when I was a teenage girl and was picked on and bullied constantly. My teenage years were actually the lowest point of my life, and sometimes I just wanted to die. I began to have this constant fear whenever I had to go to school or whenever I knew I might come in contact with these bullying girls. Now as an adult looking back I would tell “my teenage self” and present this quote to all teen girls facing this trauma…

    It is your birthright to be treated with dignity and self-respect, but whatever we fear is what we attract… whatever we project and perceive is what manifests in our lives.

    Bullies are threatened by fearless, confident girls…Consider your birthright, dig deep, find that self-confidence and fearlessness within…and bullies be gone.

    Sincerely,

    ~ Actress Debbi Morgan

    In related news, Morgan is not only contributing to books, she’s also in the middle of completing a fictional book with the interesting title “My Ass Turned 50 … And I My Mind!” We’ll keep you updated on that production as details become available. As for Morgan’s “AMC” alter-ego, after a slow reintroduction (starting later today, March 8) into Pine Valley over the next few weeks, look for Dr. Angie Hubbard’s dramatic story to kick into high gear as the month comes to a close.

      IT HAPPENED TODAY…

      With Victor and Adam both no-shows to the arbitration ruling, Michael calls Heather and tells her to find his clients and get them there immediately. Heather discovers that Victor is talking to the District Attorney Walsh and tells him that he needs to get to the arbitration. Victor informs her that he will be there. Alone, Victor gives his account of the events surrounding Skye’s death, pointing out that he heard both Sharon and her heated exchange of words, then later hearing what appeared to be Sharon trying to save Skye from falling into the volcano. DA Walsh is instantly skeptical as to why Victor has come forward all of a sudden. Victor points out he doesn’t want to see an innocent woman go to jail.

      Sharon questions Nick’s odd behavior when she tells him about Adam’s strange behavior. Nick quickly plays it off and the two head to the arbitration. Once there, Sharon makes an attempt to call Adam, leaving a message on his phone to please call her. Heather overhears the conversation and tells her how Adam will always be a master user. She then lets slip about Victor trying to get Sharon off the hook for Skye's death.

      Neil and Sofia discuss how she got her job back and wonders if he talked up for her merely because they slept together. He assures her it wasn’t like that; she’s bright and is very important to the company. Malcolm arrives and handing her the bouquet she was going to have for their wedding, proposes to her again, as Neil watches on.

      At the arbitration, Victor lights into his children for their actions and how he would rather let his billion dollar company he solely created crumble to the ground than give them any part of it. Nick and Victoria both fire back with their own accounts of his past behaviors against them but before things can get out of control, the judge calls for a recess so he can make his decision. With Victor alone, he is stunned to see Neil enter the conference room.

      • Abby continues to have worries.
      • Sharon tells Nick he’s become just like his father.
