Joshua Morrow and Hunter King have played family on The Young and the Restless for eight years now.
But what is their relationship like in real-life?
Here’s a quick sneak peek into the real life friendship of the father-daughter duo from your favorite show.
Nick Newman was introduced on Y&R in the late 80s.
Joshua Morrow took on the part in 1994 when the character was rapidly aged into a teenager.
Fast forward to 2006, Nick became a father for the first time with the birth of Summer Newman.
He had another daughter - Cassie Newman - before Summer but Cassie was his adoptive daughter.
Long-time viewers would know, Summer’s birth is one of the most memorable storylines of Y&R to this date.
After Cassie passed away in a tragic car accident, Nick found himself in deep grief which led
him to end up having an affair with Phyllis Summers.
Nine months later, in December 2016, Phyllis gave birth to Summer.
When Summer was conceived, Phyllis was also dating Jack Abbott.
So they decided to take a paternity test, which declared that Nick was indeed the father of Summer.
Nick even got married to Phyllis after the revelation but the marriage did not last.
Nevertheless, Summer remains an important character on the canvas.
First, because she is the only child of Nick and Phyllis.
And second, because she reminds some of Cassie’s very last words.
Before dying, Cassie had promised her parents that they would have another daughter.
Nick did have Summer but from a different woman.
So Summer also reminds of her father’s infidelity.
Regardless of the circumstances of Summer’s birth, she has a very special bonding with her father Nick.
Not just in reel-life but in real-life as well, actors Hunter King and Joshua Morrow
have a special relationship, which they candidly talked about in the interview.
Morrow told SOD.
King also thinks the same way about his on-screen daddy.
It’s clear that there is plenty of love on the set of The Young and the Restless.
And it’s love like this that keeps the show running for eternity.
