The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful are sister soap operas. Throughout the past 30 years, there have been many crossovers between the CBS daytime dramas. Sheila Carter, Lauren Fenmore, and Amber Moore are a few characters who’ve appeared on both shows. Most of the time, during a crossover, characters experience a shake-up in their love lives.
Pairing characters from different soap operas leads to sizzling new couples and juicy storylines. When and if the shows decide to do another crossover, here’s four couples they should pair together.
4. The Bold and the Beautiful Lawyer Carter Walton Finds Love With Lily Winters
Carter Walton is The Bold and the Beautiful’s resident lawyer. While his career at Forrester Creations is thriving, the same can’t be said for his personal life. Carter’s had romances with leading ladies such as Quinn Fuller, Zoe Buckingham, and most recently Katie Logan.
He has no trouble finding women, but all his relationships end in heartache. His unlucky streak in love is often a topic of discussion among fans. One commenter on a The Bold and the Beautiful forum wondered, “Will he ever be with a woman who really loves him? Or will he be the eternal consolation prize?”
With Carter having no luck in Los Angeles, it might find better success in Genoa City. There are many women in the Wisconsin town, but Lily Winters is the one who’ll capture his heart. Like Carter, Lily has endured heartbreak. However, an opportunity to work at Chancellor-Winters could help Carter and Lily find the happiness they both deserve.
3. The Young and the Restless Heiress Summer Newman Meets Thomas Forrester
As a member of the Newman family, Summer Newman is a legacy character on The Young and the Restless. Her marriage to Kyle Abbott also made her a member of Genoa City’s other prominent family, The Abbotts. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out for the young lovebirds. With Summer single, a chance crossover could have her romantically involved with another famous legacy character.
Thomas Forrester is a reformed bad-boy fashion designer on The Bold and the Beautiful. Like his father and grandfather, Thomas is busy designing dresses and attracting the attention of women. Currently, he’s dealing with his engagement to Paris Buckingham and his unresolved feelings for Hope Logan.
If things don’t work out with either woman, Thomas should consider a trip to Genoa City. The visit would spark interest from Summer, who’ll woo Thomas to design for Marchetti. Their newfound working relationship could spill over into a romance and a possible merging of Newman and Forrester.
2. The Young and the Restless Heroine Sharon Newman Finds Her Match in Bill Spencer
Sharon Newman has been a popular heroine on The Young and the Restless for the past 30 years. But in recent years, she’s been backburnered and only used as a prop for another character. Since the writers appear to have no use for her, it could be time for Sharon to say goodbye to Genoa City.
She could find a fresh start in Los Angeles by opening up a Crimson Lights franchise. Sharon’s new coffeehouse will attract new customers, one being Bill Spencer. The suave CEO will show an interest in the shop owner and set out to woo her.
Sharon being paired with one of The Bold and the Beautiful’s leading men would be an exciting match. The storyline could focus on Sharon’s fear of falling in love but giving in to temptation with Bill. Plus, the storyline would reunite former co-stars Sharon Case and Don Diamont, who played lovers on The Young and the Restless.
1. Phyllis Summers Steals Ridge Forrester From Brooke Logan
Phyllis Summers is The Young and the Restless’ most famous vixen. For three decades, she’s been scheming and wreaking havoc in Genoa City. But now it might be time for a change of scenery for her.
The businesswoman could be a great hire for Forrester Creations as a PR person. Her new job would have her working closely with Ridge Forrester. Although Ridge is dedicated to his true love Brooke Logan, he’ll find himself attracted to Phyllis.
Phyllis and Ridge’s newfound bond will spark Brooke’s jealousy. Brooke has always managed to intimidate any woman who was competing for Ridge’s heart. But she’ll get a taste of her own medicine with Phyllis.
When the redhead wants something, she’ll stop at nothing to get it. If she wants Ridge, she’ll have him, even if it means inflicting heartache on Brooke.
