Nick’s Famous Last Words
Y&R might’ve teased a new storyline that’s headed for Nick’s (Joshua Morrow). After he was choked out by Matt (Roger Howarth) while driving, causing the vehicle to careen off the road, Nick ended up in the hospital.
He had to undergo emergency surgery for his broken leg. Nick woke up from surgery and felt an extreme amount of pain. He clutched his leg as he asked Sharon (Sharon Case) to ask a nurse to get him “more meds.”
This scene could suggest that Nick could be headed for a painkiller addiction. And who knows, if Nick does get addicted to drugs, his “buddy” Matt Clark may have something to do with it. After all, Matt was a drug dealer in Los Angeles, and his go-to drug of choice was Fentanyl. It’s a perfect way to sedate his enemies… and also to exact revenge.
It’s possible that Matt could’ve slipped Fentanyl into Nick’s system at the scene of the crash. If that’s the case, then his need for “more meds” wasn’t a coincidence. This could lead to an addiction story, and Y&R viewers are seeing the signs.
Out of the Hospital and Doing Fine?
Over on X, formerly Twitter, one Y&R fan posted a photo of Nick. It looks like he’s been released from the hospital and is walking around the Newman Ranch despite having a broken leg. He looks worse for wear.
One fan suggested, “Nick looks really rough. I wonder if a drug dependency storyline is coming for him.”
What are your thoughts? Do you think Nick could be headed down a dark path with Matt at the helm? This villain needs to get his revenge, even if his days are numbered. Sound off below in the comments section.
