Meant To Be: Which Young and the Restless Couple Is the Gold Standard?

The Young and the Restless is known for its classic couples for the ages – whether they’re together or apart. Which may sound odd but the way people stay in each other’s orbit in this small town, they can still make magic, even when they aren’t together.

The Young and the Restless: True Love

But when they are together — there are fireworks. So which couple really and truly has it? We asked over 4,000 fans which pairing worked the best in Genoa City? Here’s what they told us:

Through Shick and Thin

We don’t care that they’re currently with other people, 56% of the audience insists. Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon Rosales (Sharon Case) will never not have killer chemistry – and a soft spot for each other.

It doesn’t matter if they’re high school sweethearts, grieving co-parents, or just tag-teaming their offspring, Noah Newman (Rory Gibson) and Faith Newman (Reylynn Caster). They’re always on the same page, always in synch…and always on a path back to each other. Somehow.

The Young and the Restless: Should Have Been

That’s why Nick should get back with Sharon, and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) should get back with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), 27% of you logic out. These are the couples that belong together and these are the ones fans want to see. Everything else is just them biding their time until the universe is set back on its axis.

Stay the Course

Oh, come on, Nick and Phyllis, 13% plead, make it work this time! You are finally taking a break from the sex and the video games to talk like grown-ups. This is the most mature you’ve ever been and your best shot at getting it right. Don’t give up now!

The Young and the Restless: The Way They Were

Jack is lonely 4% of the audience states, and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) is once again taking second place to her husband’s obsession with destroying his latest perceived enemies.

While Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) obsesses over Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and Jesse Gaines (Jamison Jones), Nikki is having lunch with Jack, the husband who always puts her first. Sure, he thinks he’s in love with Phyllis again. But that can be fixed.
