Y&R's Amelia Heinle And Sean Dominic Talk About Their Reel Romance And Real Friendship

- Devin Owens

Soap Opera Digest: Amelia, after Ashland died, it was only a matter of time until Victoria would be paired up with another romantic partner. Were there any characters on the canvas who you thought would be a viable love match for her?

Amelia Heinle: I was actually waiting for them to put Victoria with Nate. I just knew they would because it made sense that they could work that into the story. It was interesting because Nate became best friends with Ashland, then he and Elena were all BFF with Ashland and Victoria.

Digest: What's funny to me, Amelia, is that you always coveted Bryton (James, Devon) to be your character's boyfriend.

Heinle: And then Abby got him. I'll never have him because Devon hates Victoria.

Digest: Oh, you know what they say about the fine line between love and hate.

Sean Dominic: Yeah, don't shake your head too quickly because they like to intertwine Nate and Devon in love triangles.

Digest: Sean, since Nate went to so much trouble to keep Elena from walking out on him, did you have any idea that another love interest was coming down the pike for him or did you think you'd be mostly embroiled in big business drama?

Dominic: Honestly, I thought there would be a fixing of things between Nate and Elena. He begged for forgiveness, and now he's stepping out. I was hoping they would have a little more time and let the viewers give us some redemption and then move on. But it was like, "No, sir," so we'll see how it goes. I just know the fans are gonna be, "Poor, poor Elena."

Heinle: I know. Victoria is behaving badly, Nate's behaving badly. I mean, Victoria knows he has a girlfriend.

Digest: Do you think Victoria is a cougar?
