SPOILED ROTTEN: 10 of Daytime's Best Loved Poor Little Rich Boys!
(No. 5) Nicholas Newman, The Young and the Restless
Genoa City playboy Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) has watched his parents ping-pong back and forth between one another’s beds, and those of the adult Abbott siblings (and Diane Jenkins and Brad Carlton and Hope Adams and…), since he came into the world on The Young and the Restless. It’s no wonder this poor little rich boy can’t seem to make up his mind between his own two wives!
A teenaged Nick came home from boarding school just in time to fall in love with meager Sharon Collins (Sharon Case). Nick and Sharon’s epic love was threatened by bad boy Matt Clark (Eddie Cibrian), who wanted Sharon for himself. They survived Matt raping Sharon, Nick going to prison for shooting Matt—a crime he didn’t commit—and the discovery of Sharon’s long-lost daughter Cassie (Camryn Grimes). What they couldn’t survive, was Nick’s roving eye.
You see, as a poor little rich boy, Nick learned from his father there’s nothing wrong with having your Sharon and eating your Grace (Jennifer Gareis) and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) too! Maybe Nick never having to learn to be satisfied with just one of anything is why his onetime true love can’t stop sleeping her way through his family? Just a thought!

I do agree that Sami could have been the next Erica Kane and I could still see that happening the writers seem to be makeing Sami more selfish and selfabsorbed like she used to be.
But Sami's selfishness is not what gave her fans. That is not what makes her Sami.
It was her independant nature. Her get into trouble, I'll get out of trouble attitute. She used to be quick to anger and slow to forgiveness. She used to feel like she could mess with her family, but anyone else mess with would face her wrath.
But this Sami just gets handed jobs and apartments she doesn't deserve. This Sami is not sure of anything. She is fickle with men and life in general. She is backing EJ and Stephano when they have tried to destroy her and her family time and time again. Who knew she was so forgiving.
Sami has been ruined in the last several years and part of that happened when EJ came along and yes, they decided to make her his constant victim.
Two of the show's strongest bitches (Nicole and Sami) are wimps when they put them with EJ, a character whose bad deeds are erased with each new story. But what do I expect? They did the same thing with Kate and Stephano.

Overexposure kills any character and that includes Sami and EJ. I don't think James Scott is a great or even good actor but he's got what most of daytime lacks in male leads and even females. Charm, presence, and charisma. And as much as I dislike Victor, Braden still has charisma and presence. Id trade these 2 over any of the untalented lackluster wash up males on GH. I don't think putting EJ on 5'days a week is any better than Sami being on 5 days a week but what he suffers from most is inconsistent writing. This regime being the worse.

How about Y&R's Jack Abbott? How about OLTL's Todd Manning whose father mistreated him because he's not his biological son, who would then rape Marty Saybrooke and would later learn his real father is Asa Buchanan? How about Stefano Dimera's sons Tony and Peter Blake? How about Ross Chandler who was caught between the feud of his uncle Adam Chandler and father Palmer Cortland?
