The Young And The Restless (Y&R) Spoilers: Nate And Elena Romance Brings Amanda And Devon Together?

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers document that Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) seems to be falling for Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy). That’s a debatable development on Y&R.

It’s not wrong for the writing staff to create drama between four characters, which include Nate, Elena, Devon Hamilton (Bryton James), and Amanda Sinclair (Mishael Morgan). That’s what soaps have long been about.

However, the manner in which Nate has come to supposedly feel about Elena and the plot device used to make it happen are both debatable. Having Amanda basically learn the reason why Nate broke up with her on the same day also felt rushed.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Why Split A Good Couple?

Devon and Elena are or were a good couple. That’s a fair assessment of the love story that’s been created since last year when Sarpy joined the cast.

As devoted viewers recall, she came into his life during a period when he was enduring intense emotional pain. The death of what would have been his first child and his wife, Hilary Hamilton (Morgan), was naturally devastating.

Elena proved to be the central force that pulled Devon back to stability. She was also there when his adoptive father, Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John), died and when his sibling bond with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) was firmly reestablished.

All of the above doesn’t mean that this couple needed to remain together forever, as daytime isn’t like that. But splitting them now and for the betrayal reason that’s been presented is curious.

Y&R Spoilers – Hevon Sequel Happens After All?

The long lead-in to Amanda’s reveal as Hilary’s identical twin sister meant that there would be no immediate creation of a new pairing where James and Morgan would work together again.

Having Devon paired with Elena, while Amanda was smitten with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and seemed to be deepening her interest in Nate, also implied that Hevon II wouldn’t be put on the table for another year, or more.

If Y&R is actually writing James and Morgan back together, where Morgan’s new character becomes Devon’s significant other, then viewers will need to adjust. The audience knows that both actors have great on-screen chemistry, but it would still feel pushed to have Devon and Amanda fall in love.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Real Lives Spurning Changes?

Maybe the option that’s being created, or will come to exist, involves at least one reason that’s simple. James and Sarpy are a real-life couple. Viewers know that through multiple interviews that are readily available, as it’s no secret. But any fan could also guess that’s the case by watching Devon and Elena kiss in various wide shots. Due to current workplace protocols, only spouses, or significant others can be involved in those types of romantic situations.

Possibly TPTB felt it best to split the work lives of this real-life couple in order to allow each actor to explore alternative creative outlets on the set. That wouldn’t necessarily be a hedge against any future outcome, but rather a way to give both solid actors a different way to present their talents.

It’s a shame to see Devon and Elena ending if it’s fated. But those actors, along with the others mentioned, possess the chops to make any new scenarios fully appealing.
