I think they are to old to keep playing games with each other if they love each other then stay together the whole together then not together is old for me.I dont think nick and sharon are soulmates i would like for them to stay apart forever and for sharon to find a real man who deserves to have her and all that she can give.

Ah, this is just a stupid soap. The darn writers are going to do what they will with these characters and if they have to keep playing ping pong with each other,as characters I love Nikki and Victor and hope the writers keep them together. I know real life isn't always a neat little package with a bow on top, but that's how I like my stories. JMHO, of course. I know others will disagree, and that's okay. That's what we're here for. To throw it all out there.

I think they should just leave them as the older & wiser couple, offering advice & support to all their younger friends, kids & grand kids.

PLEASE, Stop having them break up all the time, so that Victor can marry everyone he messes with, it's old & played out already.

Thank you, Thank you Queen, you understand MY POST.

Heavens all of these Posters telling about their private love lives.. lol...as though I were attacking them personally.....I don't know how to make it much plainer... this is not about love and romance and people never being too old for it....... it is about Victor and Nikki breaking up and going back together... over and over and over..

I agree with you, they should be the older couple giving advice, much like Katherine, on how to stay happy.

The thing for me is that I don't see their issues that they've had in the past as qualifying for "star-crossed" lovers type break ups. It's not like fate steps in and tears them apart.

In my opinion, it's usually been Victor's pride that has broke them up. Almost every time they have divorced or broken up it's because he's either screwed her over one way or another because he was too proud to have her do well in the buisness or personal world, or he felt that she betrayed him and their family, even though she'd done something that he would do twice on Sunday! They did have affairs in the past too that broke them up as well. Just never seems like it's "ill fated" or "opposed by the stars". It's just always been their own pride and stupid mistakes.

I do agree though that it would be nice if they could find ways for them to stick together now that they've come this far. I don't think however, that they should be dolling out any advice on what it takes for a marriage to survive LOL Because they haven't found that yet. Hopefully this time though.

Your topic says "too old to still be star crossed lovers" that give alot of us the idea you are meaning they are to old to do that sort of stuff LOL..So thats why you got some post debating it. I am glad you cleared it up though. Was beginning to think after a 23 year old marriage and I'm being 41 i was beginning to think we were to old..LOL.

Quote PurrrrrrrKitty: I'm sorry I think yawwlllll missed the point. I am not against romance, love and all that entails... ..... I am 75 and doing just great in that department and still look pretty darn good..I've watched this show since the conception.

I am talking about the "star cross" lover thyme.... the divorcing and remarrying... How many of you.. ever been apart and back with your spouses like Victor and
Nikki????. I doubt many... I've known a couple in real life who did that 7 times.... but that was when they were young... but not normally done.. . and yesssss I know it's a soap... but there should be some reality to it.

I love the star cross lovers thyme.. but it is usually reserved for young couples.

The writers should figure out a way to keep Victor and Nikki exciting and stop all this foolishness... just my opinion.


I totally agree with everything you have said. You are not saying they can't be in love and exciting lovers. But the STAR CROSSED LOVERS is the thing that is rediculous. Who does that at 70 years old??? Who takes that at 55 years old?
They can travel, enjoy the grandkids, rule the corporate world, interfere with the kids marraiges, lay around the bed all day, socialize, but this breaking up and being with others then getting back together is TIRED and EXHAUSTING. Makes them lose a lot of their credibility as true love's.
You just end up wishing they would either stay apart, which doesn't suit them, or wishing they would get it together for love's sake.
Quit trying to have them compete for that type of attention against their own children for Pete's sake.

I'm all for reuniting with a love, and find it believable for Nikki and Victor this time. But, ITA, it should be THE LAST TIME.

They are mature and experienced enough to know how to make it either work or give it up (and stop expecting us to still care)!!

Thanks everyone for participating... If I mislead anyone. wellllll... it got you in here didn't it??? lol.

Seriously, Most people finally got what I was saying... and
agree this has gone on long enough between Victor and Nikki, the breaking up over and over and over.. remarrying over and over and over.. they are too old to be acting this way and very poor role models for their children. If it doesn't work this time... FORGET ABOUT IT!!!!

I agree with the Posters who said, they haven't learned how to make a marriage work yet.. but maybe this time, huh???

It should be interesting to see how the writers deal with
this couple in the future.

I think Victor & Nikki are perfect for each other, star crossed or not. I think love is wasted on the young, and people never appreciate love & passion until they get much older.

That is why they need to stop with the breaking up, and stay romantic. They play junior high school games, and are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too old for that. Not cute anymore. And as old as they are, might be too late next time. Everyone has to grow up sometime, even the mustache.

I completely agree with you - - never too "old" to be star-crossed lovers.

It never surprises me that they continue to get back together again - - and again - it's like an old habit that will continue on, probably, as long as they remain on this soap.

They have been together (off and on) since almost day one of the soap. And, just like Victor told Nick - - that you can love somebody else, but you never stop loving your "true love."

This is a classic example of why so many Shick lovers keep saying they will get back together because they were high school sweethearts, etc., etc., that they will eventually get back together, even though Nick is married to someone else. Same has been true of Victor and Nikki, through many other affairs and marriages.

Nikki and Victor are a very vital part of Y&R, in my opinion, even with their astrological stigma of being "star-crossed."

I hope they are with us for a long time to come!
