Moving Forward

Nick (Joshua Morrow) has learned a lot in rehab about not being everyone's hero. But that doesn't mean he's not going to take action when he feels it's necessary. On Thursday's episode, watch for Nick to take matters into his own hands.

Isn't that how he got hooked on pain pills in the beginning? At the beginning of this year, Nick insisted on dealing with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) himself. He was driving the man who had attacked his family on more than one occasion to his likely death (were they going to the police station?) when Matt got out of his bonds and caused the car Nick was driving to crash.

After surgery, Nick got hooked on pills, and he's still dealing with the ramifications of that. Will Nick find a balance between doing the right thing and not playing hero? Maybe playing hero is the right thing to do?

Cousin Confidential

Lily (Christel Khalil) and her cousin, Nate (Sean Dominic), have always been close. On Thursday's episode, watch for Lily to confide in Nate. Is she going to ask for his advice on a future with Cane (Billy Flynn)? Or perhaps she'll want Nate's input regarding the whole "who owns Chancellor Industries" story?

Nate is getting back into medicine, but he has spent the last few years in the business world. He has keen instincts, and if Lily is going to ask her cousin about a business matter, he may be able to help her.

Might Nate also open up to Lily about his developing relationship with Dr. Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox)? Lily may or may not be okay with the May/October romance!

Meeting of the Newman Minds

On Thursday's episode, watch for Victor (Eric Braeden) to call a meeting of the minds to help Nick. Victor and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) are dedicated to making sure that Nick continues to recover and find his sobriety.

Victor's likely going to bring the whole Newman clan together to give Nick the help he needs. Will everyone be on board? Victor has a way of getting family members to come together when someone is in trouble!

Is Nick risking his sobriety by taking action? Why does Lily want to meet with Nate? Who is Victor going to gather to help Nick? Sound off in the comments section!
