Young and Restless: Nick’s Addiction Crisis Deepens – Devastating Consequences for Newman Family!

Young and the Stressed places Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) formally on the damaging path of drug habit, and issues are about to get darkish and messy for him. It’s going to trigger issues for all the Newmans—probably catastrophic issues.

We’re going to debate what terrible issues lie forward except Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), or any individual realizes that Nick is spiraling out proper in entrance of them and performs an intervention earlier than it goes too far. I doubt they’ll. So let’s get into it.

Nick Newman’s Spiraling Fentanyl Addiction on Young and the Stressed

Proper now, the writing is on the wall and you possibly can already see what’s coming for Victor’s hothead son. Ever since we noticed Nick with that baggie of fentanyl tablets from Matt Clark (Roger Howarth), we knew issues have been going to get tough.

It’s already began as a result of Nick is popping fentanyl after gobbling up a number of bottles of prescription ache tablets that his physician gave him. Sharon talked about that Nick shouldn’t have gone by these tablets so quick. That’s as a result of he didn’t keep within the hospital and correctly get better with the great IV drip meds.

As soon as the authorized ache tablets ran out, Nick turned to fentanyl. So, what occurs when he runs out of Matt’s little baggie of tablets? Properly, that’s once I suppose issues are going to actually take a pointy downturn for Nick. I need to discuss what his downfall seems to be like if no person stops it.

Will Nick Newman Flip to Avenue Sellers for Extra Opioids on Y&R?

I believe it’s extremely doubtless that after the tablets from Matt are gone, Nick will flip to a avenue vendor for both extra fentanyl or extra opioid tablets of another kind. Matt is again quickly, however I’d hope that Nick wouldn’t ask Matt to refill his drug baggie as a result of lots of people in LA overdosed on unhealthy fentanyl.

I’m positive Nick doesn’t need to give Matt the satisfaction of figuring out that he received him hooked on fentanyl or give him the possibility to kill him. However I guess that Matt will see the indicators of habit written throughout Nick. In fact, that might simply thrill Matt.

With Matt free as he’s proper now, I additionally anticipate that Nick goes to go searching for extra tablets in order that he might be able to hunt Matt down and bodily combat him. Proper now, he’s simply not ready to do this. He’s in ache and he’s weak. The medication are inflicting vital issues.

Nick in search of out avenue medication can also be very harmful. He could be on the market shopping for unknown substances from sketchy folks. That may very well be actually, actually unhealthy.

The Newman Household Discover Nick’s Growing Aggression and Erratic Conduct on Young and the Stressed

The second factor is, I believe Nick goes to scare Nikki, Victor, and all of the Newmans along with his ongoing ache that ought to be diminishing at this level. Plus, we’ve received Nick’s rising aggression, and the household’s already been speaking about him behind his again.

Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) expressed her concern for Nick and stated he wasn’t appearing like himself, however he brushed her off. She warned Nick to watch out with the ache meds, and he brushed her off once more. Victoria is on alert, however she’s additionally very distracted by the Newmans dropping their enterprise and her wanting revenge on Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford).

Nikki and Victor have been additionally somewhat thrown by Nick’s outburst relating to Matt. They know the way a lot Nick hates Matt, however they’ll inform this isn’t Nick’s traditional habits. It’s excessive. He’s already snapped at Sharon and Noah Newman (Lucas Adams).

Nick’s son and ex-wife have been most likely the primary ones to get fearful. Sharon and Noah are quickly going to have extra to fret about as a result of issues are solely going to worsen from right here. I’m positive Nick goes to maintain taking the fentanyl till it runs out and then take no matter unlawful ache treatment he can get his fingers on.

Phyllis Summers Faces Nick Newman’s Drug-Fueled Fury

The subsequent factor I anticipate is that Phyllis goes to must cope with a drugged-up, indignant Nick. He’s getting extra and extra confrontational with Phyllis. We all know Nick has already fallen into this space the place he’s simply past session livid with Phyllis for stealing his household’s empire.

Nick flat-out vowed to destroy Phyllis. He simply received in her face once more this week. It was proper as Sharon was truly making progress with Phyllis and was softening her up.

However Nick is so drug-addled and unhinged that he got here in like a bull in a china store, raging. Phyllis then determined that he and Sharon have been tag-teaming her, and she walked out. Sharon was very clearly irritated and informed Nick she was making progress with Phyllis, however in fact, Nick didn’t consider it.

I do surprise if Phyllis may additionally discover one thing’s off as a result of she has a protracted historical past with Nick. She is aware of him very nicely and she is aware of about his mood. Everyone knows about his mood, however this can be a new stage.

Y&R Shocker: May Sharon Newman and Phyllis Summers Group As much as Save Nick Newman?

Perhaps Phyllis will warn Sharon that she thinks one thing is significantly flawed with Nick over and above his anger relating to Matt and the Newman enterprise. Even when Sharon and Phyllis tried to inform the Newman household, they won’t hear on Young and the Stressed.

The Newmans hate Phyllis and they’d most likely disregard Sharon as a result of they’re so busy making an attempt to get again their firm enterprise. Ultimately, we might see Sharon and Phyllis truly working collectively to attempt and assist Nick if his household doesn’t do something.

Additionally, With Matt Clark again on the scene in Genoa Metropolis in March, we might see Nick get his want and kill Matt. Nevertheless, it’d come off trying like Nick murdered him as a substitute of it being self-defense, particularly if he kills Matt whereas hopped up on unlawful avenue medication.

Will Nick Newman Homicide Matt Clark Whereas Beneath the Affect?

We all know Matt is already threatening Noah, and we’ve heard Nick inform a number of folks that he was going to actually kill Matt. Given Nick’s ache and his drug rages, he may very well do it.

If Nick goes nuts and flat-out murders Matt, he could be arrested and face legal costs. That may give Matt the final snigger trying up from hell. If Nick comes after him like that, Matt may even get the possibility to border Nick once more for his homicide like final time.

You might keep in mind when Matt ripped out his personal respiratory tube to implicate Nick in his loss of life. Nick beat these costs final time, however he won’t get so fortunate this time. If Nick kills him whereas excessive on medication, he may go to jail when what he actually wants is rehab.

A Potential Overdose May Lead Nick Newman to Rehab or a Psychological Facility on Young and the Stressed

One ultimate factor that might come from this habit storyline is that Nick might truly overdose. I really feel sure that if he does, he would survive. The fentanyl that Matt gave him may need been clear, or possibly a number of the tablets are tainted. Detective James Burrow (Matt Cohen) has already talked about overdose deaths from Matt’s fentanyl ring.

Clearly, we don’t need Nick killed off and we don’t need Josh Morrow leaving. I don’t suppose it could occur. But when he ODs, then Victor, Nikki, Noah, Sharon, and all people would see simply how severe that is and that Nick is drowning in habit and actually wants assist.

Rehab could be nice. A psychiatric hospital may additionally be a great place for him after the Matt ordeal. It could be wild if he ended up at a psychological well being facility and it was the identical one Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) was despatched to. That can also be the place the soon-to-return Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) pops up.

We’ll see the place this all lands. Issues are heating up for Nick, and his drug-fueled rages this week are simply the tip of the messy iceberg. I’ve a sense issues are about to get lots worse for Nick and the Newmans earlier than they get higher.
