For many “Y&R” fans, another Newman wedding was a welcome reminder of one of the soap’s most legendary couples.
“Been loving Nikki and Victor since the ’80s,” one fan wrote. “I still remember being in my friend’s kitchen and her mom had Y&R on. I asked, ‘Who’s that?’ It was Victor and Nikki. That had to be over forty years ago.”
Others couldn’t get over how beautiful Nikki looked on her wedding day.
“Nikki looked stunning. Just a gorgeous dress,” one viewer commented.
Another agreed, writing, “I think Nikki just likes to collect wedding rings and dresses from Victor! But I will say, she looks stunning in that blue gown!”
Some viewers were especially touched by Victor’s emotional reaction during the ceremony.
“Seeing one or two tears in Victor’s eyes proves that they belong together, and they are the show in every way! Beautiful episode,” one fan wrote.
Even fans who acknowledged the couple’s complicated history admitted they still can’t help rooting for them.
“It may be a bit toxic of me, but I will never get tired of them getting back together,” one longtime viewer commented.
Other Fans Think the Multitude of Weddings Have Become Too Repetitive
Not everyone was thrilled to see Nikki and Victor exchange vows once again.
Several “Y&R” fans joked that they’ve lost count of how many times the couple has gotten married.
“What is this, the tenth time they got married? Very sweet though,” one fan wrote.

Another added, “How many times must we suffer through these tedious N&V wedding redos?”
Some fans even expressed hope that the show’s new writing team would take the couple in a different direction.
“Omg, I can’t wait for the new writers. This show is so repetitive,” one fan commented.
Others questioned whether Nikki should continue forgiving Victor after everything they’ve been through together.
“So how many times is she going to make vows for that man that, with a snap of a finger, forgets his vows and throws her out? Girl, please find the dignity within you and love yourself,” one viewer wrote.
Whether fans viewed the latest Newman wedding as a heartwarming celebration or another familiar chapter in Nikki and Victor’s on-again, off-again romance, one thing was clear: the couple continues to spark passionate reactions after more than 40 years.
