Nicholas Christian Newman was born to Nikki and Victor (although they didn’t know at the time that Victor was his father) on December 31, 1988, but in true soap fashion, he returned from a Swiss boarding school on June 21, 1994, as a 16-year-old played by then-daytime newcomer Joshua Morrow. In honor of the actor’s 30th anniversary in Genoa City, we take a look back at key storyline moments in Nick’s eventful life, which Young and Restless will celebrate with a special tribute show on June 21, 2024. And to hear what four of his leading ladies, Sharon Case (Sharon), Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea), Courtney Hope (Sally) and Michelle Stafford (Phyllis), have to say about working with Morrow, click here.
