The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

Why is Nick not as incensed with Jack as he is with Adam? After all it was Jack who dictated the diary to Adam and yet Nick is considering doing business with him? Come on!!!!

Nick is a total idiot. Anyone could talk him into anything. Michael talked him into paying the money back and we all know Victor would never have given in like that without a fight. Then along comes Jack and now he is ready to jump in cahoots with him and then Phyllis is telling him it is a good deal. He doesn't have a mind of his own and is a very sorry businessman. He keeps throwing things up to Adam and won't give him a break but if Nick had half the business sense in that big dumb head of his that Adam has in his little finger then he would be a smart man. Nick is flat stupid when it comes to business and how to run one.

You know I can understand Nick not trusting Adam as far as he can throw him, Adam hasn't exactly proven himself as very trustworthy since coming to town. He won't either if he only gets to proof read documents.

The thing I don't get is Nick and Jack have already owned a business together and notwithstanding everything Jack has tried to do to the Newmans in the past, he has done some pretty backhanded stuff directly to Nick just recently. How about the article in RS he wrote without consulting his partners? Then trying to wrestle control of the magazine away from them? He hasn't really established himself as the most endearing stepdaddy of late. Why oh why would Nick think that this time would be any different?

Nick needs to buy an ashram, get himself into polygamy and marry both Sharon and Phyllis. That's really all he's good for. He's useless as a businessman. Sharon, ran the coffeeshop, Phyllis ran RS; Nick only knows how to do one thing properly.....cheat on his wives!

I can't stand when these two are together. I don't know which one is more of a weasel.

I thought the writers were going to separate them but....NO now we get Jack/Phyllis/Nick or Sharon/Phyllis/Adam/Nick....just never ends.

May I come to Nick and Jack's defense...

Jack has always loved Nick like a son because he was his step-father for many years (soap time anyway). Jack took Nick fishing, camping, to sports events...all the things Victor didn't do in regards to "bonding". So I hope that explains why these two tend to get "Buddy Buddy" every so often.

Nick SHOULD be suspicious of Adam! I don't blame him at all!!! Adam hasn't done a dag gone thing to prove that he has changed. He's still a smart mouthed punk who does underhanded tricks to start trouble. Nick knows in his gut that Adam called the SEC on Victoria but he can't prove it. WE KNOW Adam did but that creep is still walkin' around cryin' to everybody that he's being under utilized at NE and Nick is being mean to him....Waaaaaaaaa

If Adam just let things ride, Nick would have given him something but after that stupid stunt...NO effen way!!!

As for Jack, Nick has grown up witnessing the Victor/Jack chronicles so how can he blame Jack completely when he knows his father has done some stupid crap too (i.e. Patty).

If you think about it, Nick has a lot on his plate. He's happy his father is alive and recovering but mad at what his father did (recently) to get back at Jack and Summer was just one casuality in this nonsense. On the other hand, he's leary of Jack because of his involvement with the Diary and Adam plus knowing the entire Abbot clan is not happy with dear old dad right about now.

Now there's Phyllis! Phack's little trist will stir up some trouble for sure!!! Then there's Sharon and Shick's daughter Faith taken away from them by Adam who is trying his best to stay close to Sharon.

Jack himself has "divorced" Billy and has no idea what Ashley is doing behind his back.

These two have issues..........

I think that Jack will find a way to screw over Nick in this deal. And Victor will once again throw him out of the business.

Jack is up to something and this is the same person who is treating his brother like he is the devil himself..Humm Jack is so hypocritical.
