Phyllis and Neil. I think Phyllis would bring life and a spark to his SL, and possibly Lily's SL too.

Neil may possibly be one man who wouldn't wuss out against Phyllis either. Although he's much a wuss with everyone else, IMO, I think he'd make a good strong match for her. There were a few periods in the last 23 years that I've watched that I stopped watching, so forgive me if they've ever been paired up. To my knowledge, they haven't.

Your thoughts?

I could totally see it. They'd have much the same dynamic as Kneel & Dru, what with Dru & Philly both being so headstrong and letting their emotions rule them.

LOL at the idea of Phyllis and Neil together. The Redhead would wear him out in a week.

Every now and then I post something that my Crystal Ball tells me.

Last week I posted that there will be an Ashley/Neil pairing.

Believe me folks...you will see Ashley and Neil as a couple. It might not last long because everytime TPTB try to do a mixed race couple they back off and the relationship fizzles. (except for Phyllis & Damon, and that didn't last too long either)

Earlier this week Ashley flirted with Neil and he played coy...it's already beginning.

Interesting, Capricorn! I never imagined that pairing. I don't quite know what I think of those two together, but it would be very different!

I don't think it's a good match but I do believe it's going to happen...for a short time. Probably will be one of the most boring couples on Y&R but the writers have no imagination or talent. Neil needs a fiery, self confident woman to add some spice to his life. Phyllis is a good choice. Capricorn. eom

Aren't Lily and Cane and Lily and Daniel mixed race couples?.....Liljana

I Forgot about them. Daniel/Lily didn't last and Cane/Lily won't last either. Seems to me that fans don't particularly care about younger mixed marriages but every time any of the older characters gets paired out of their race TPTB get a lot of disapproving mail. Capricorn. eom

Now that's funny you say that because the actor and actress playing Cane and Lily are constantly in the top five fan faves in soap magazines as are the Lily and Cane pairing. I get the feeling that apart from this board they are popular..I think the other big one is aways Nick and Phyllis and JM and MS.....Personally I think they're dull but they seem to be the ''it'' couple for the younger crowd outside this board...Liljana

PS: I don't think it's race BTW, I think it's chemistry...if the writers hadn't screwed up (what else is new?) they had a good mixed race ''older'' couple with Neil and the wonderful Karen..but they had to bring on Tyra and didn't listen to the audience, or this board anyway...Liljana

ITA Liljana. I have seen numerous negative comments about Cane and Lily on this board in particular. I still don't know why many posters here call Cane, Turnip Head. And if I remember Daniel and Lily were extremely popular romeo and juliet type couple, especially because their mother's were arch enemies./ebee

I think that's why I would find that pairing interesting...Phyllis could bring him to life! Just a thought...

I would like to see Sharon and Neil as a pair. I like Phyllis better with Jack.

Hmm...I think they would make the other more boring than they are...just my opinion, of course, but I think they're both the same level of boring-ness...so one needs to have *spark*...

Phyllis likes her hot chocolate (Malcolm and Damon). So why not.

I have not seen Nick give Sharon a second look for months. That would be since he renewed his vows to his wife (renewing the vows was Nick's idea). Oh wait come to think of it all 3 weddings to Phyllis were Nick's idea! lol! Please Nick feels compelled to protect that dimwit, klepto, nympho ho, and yes he feels very guilty about Cassie's death. BUT once he got the reality check, even baby Faithless wasn't going to keep Nick away from his family.

I must have been dreaming because I saw Nick with Sharon Halloween night sticking his nose in her business. And Sharon keeps telling him to back off.

WTH? Where was Nick mentioned in the original post?

...or Sharon, for that matter? Is everything ALWAYS about Sharon with you?

Patty watch this and weep. Its always going to be.....

Why the hell not? For Neil, Phyllis would certainly be a step up from Tyra! And I'd rather watch Phyllis and Neil, than see Nick continue to play "Eenie-Meenie-Sharon-Phyl".

It might be interesting to hook Phyllis up with Neil, and then bring Dru back. Given Phyllis and Dru's history, that could be sort of fun.

Gracie, I hadn't thought of Dru returning, but you have something there! That would be fireworks for sure, if Dru and Phyllis were to fight over Neil. Good call...
