Hey, Cupid… Over Here! 10 Characters Who Desperately Need a Love Interest

They’re attractive, charming, most of ’em loaded. Yet their social calendar is as blank as a sheet of unused printer paper. See if you agree that it isn’t just time, it’s past time these characters from The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, Beyond the Gates, Days of Our Lives and General Hospital got new romantic interests.

He’s forever got ex-wives Sharon and Phyllis sniffing around, but he’s been there, done that, and knows how those love stories end. Time for Nick to break the cycle, as he tried to with Sally, and start fresh. (Potential love interests here.)

As potential boyfriends go, he’s a bit shifty, we’ll grant you. But the love of a good woman could put Machiavellian Philip on the straight and narrow for the long haul and even make him marriage material. Well, first marriage material, at least.

We totally agree with Nina’s determination to save daughter Willow from Drew’s clutches. But Mom’s been so focused on busting up that relationship that she hasn’t bothered to form a new one of her own. (Potential love interests here.)

Yeah, yeah, we know she’s super into Tomas. But we don’t trust the guy and think Eva could do so much better. Is it wrong that we’re hoping Andre turns out not to be her cousin so that she can date the sensitive hottie?

He’s been a little distracted by his death sentence, we know. But if we were him, we’d want someone by our side in our last days. Can somebody please explain why he hasn’t called Ivy, who last we saw couldn’t resist planting a kiss on him?

A guy would have to be a pretty fast thinker to stay a step ahead of Salem’s cutthroat D.A.… which is why we picture her throwing sparks with EJ. (Sorry, Belle.) They’ve exchanged threats more than longing glances, but we’d hardly expect them to have a conventional courtship.

Sure, she’s nuttier than a jar of Jiff. But if she ever got the love that she so desperately craves — lookin’ at you, Ted! — maybe she’d downgrade her mental status from “flat-out crazy” to merely “crazy for you.”

The show’s resident Luna-tic has been running around badmouthing her mother to anyone who’ll listen. We ain’t buying what she’s selling, though, and would love to see the town pariah turn Deacon’s head away from his murderous wife, Sheila.

Maybe it’s just because we were never very into his relationship with Heather that we’re eager for Daniel to move on following her demise. Or maybe it’s because Michael Graziadei is such a natural charisma machine that we’re dying to test his chemistry with someone new. (Potential love interests here.)

His nickname is Stone Cold, but that doesn’t have to also describe his love life. Is there not room in Jason’s day to protect the Corinthoses by any means necessary and get busy with some lucky lady? Maybe what he’s waiting for is the return of [Spoiler].
