The sultry, sexy Joshua Morrow sat down with TV Guide Canada for a recent interview. He discussed fan reaction to recent The Young and the Restless story lines.
Here are excerpts from the conversation:
TV Guide: Are you still shocked over the insane fan reaction to Nick and Phyllis romantic pairing?
Joshua Morrow: I am totally surprised, and still shocked. Soap fans generally dont like a lot of change. Sharon and Nick were this "Romeo and Juliet" story. I thought it was going to be a hard pill for fans to swallow. When they first began talking about Nick and Phyllis, I asked the writers: Are you sure?; Im not feeling it.

But they said they liked our energy, chemistry and the shock value associated with the pairing. I went into the story very skeptical, but was immediately blown away by the level of chemistry we shared. It was very easy. I was nervous though Michelle Stafford [Phyllis] is this very big, dynamic actress.
Dude the way they told that story was genius by showing Michelles vulnerable side, and then the fans went wild they love Nick and Phyllis, let me tell you. I wouldve lost that bet, for sure!
TVG: I thought Nick and Sharon would be married forever!
JM: So did I! Sharon and Nick were this super-couple starter kit. Theyd be together forever, experience a few hiccups and get back together that was the drill. But Nick and Phyllis have proven they are a force to be reckoned with. Its been a hell of a ride working with The Stafford, as I like to refer to her. [laughs]
Its a beautiful story because Phyllis saved Nicks life; she made him smile again.
